Immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers described in the proxy statement/prospectus forming part of this registration statement (the “proxy statement/prospectus”), Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Aspirational”), intends to effect a deregistration under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and a domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, pursuant to which Aspirational’s jurisdiction will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). All securities being registered will be issued by Aspirational (after the Domestication), the continuing entity following the Domestication, which will be renamed “Wheels Up Experience Inc.”, upon the consummation of the Mergers, as further described in the proxy statement/prospectus. As used herein, “Wheels Up” refers to Aspirational after the Domestication and/or the consummation of the Mergers, including after such change of name, as applicable.

(2)

Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act, there are also being registered an indeterminable number of additional securities as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.

The number of shares of Class A common stock of Wheels Up being registered represents the number of Class A ordinary shares of Aspirational that were registered pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (333-248592) (together, the “IPO Registration Statement”) and offered by Aspirational in its initial public offering (the “Aspirational public shares”). The Aspirational public shares automatically will be converted by operation of law into shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in the Domestication (“Wheels Up public shares”).

(4)

Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based on the average of the high and low prices of the Class A ordinary shares of Aspirational (the company to which Wheels Up will succeed following the Domestication) on the NYSE on March 12, 2021 ($10.43 per Class A ordinary share) (such date being within five business days of the date that this registration statement was first filed with the SEC). This calculation is in accordance with Rule 457(f)(1) of the Securities Act.

(5)

The number of redeemable warrants to acquire shares of common stock of Wheels Up being registered represents the number of redeemable warrants to acquire Class A ordinary shares of Aspirational that were registered pursuant to the Registration Statement referenced in note (3) above and offered by Aspirational in its initial public offering (the “Aspirational public warrants”). The Aspirational public warrants automatically will be converted by operation of law into redeemable warrants to acquire shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in the Domestication.

(6)

Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based on the average of the high and low prices of the warrants of Aspirational (the company to which Wheels Up will succeed following the Domestication) on the NYSE on March 12, 2021 ($1.78 per warrant) (such date being within five business days of the date that this registration statement was first filed with the SEC). This calculation is in accordance with Rule 457(f)(1) of the Securities Act.

(7)

The number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock being registered represents the sum of (i) the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that will be issued to the existing holders of Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC (“WUP”) equity interests in connection with the Mergers, (ii) the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that will be issuable upon the cash exercise of options to purchase Wheels Up Class A common stock in the Mergers, (iii) the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock for which the restricted interests in WUP that will remain outstanding following the Mergers will be exchangeable, as further described in the proxy statement/prospectus, (iv) the maximum number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock for which the profits interests in WUP that will remain outstanding following the Mergers will be exchangeable, as further described in the proxy statement/prospectus, and (v) the maximum number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable in respect of the earnout, as further described in the proxy statement/prospectus.

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers described herein, the Registrant intends to effect a deregistration under Article 206 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and a domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, pursuant to which the Registrant’s jurisdiction will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. All securities being registered will be issued by Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp.

PROXY STATEMENT FOR
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF

ASPIRATIONAL CONSUMER LIFESTYLE CORP.

(A CAYMAN ISLANDS EXEMPTED COMPANY)

PROSPECTUS FOR 251,970,842 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND 7,991,544 REDEEMABLE WARRANTS OF ASPIRATIONAL CONSUMER LIFESTYLE CORP. (AFTER ITS DOMESTICATION AS A CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE), THE CONTINUING ENTITY FOLLOWING THE DOMESTICATION, WHICH WILL BE RENAMED “WHEELS UP EXPERIENCE INC.” IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN

The board of directors of Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Aspirational” and, after the Domestication and/or the Business Combination, as described below, “Wheels Up”), has unanimously approved (i) the domestication of Aspirational as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”); (ii) each of (x) the simultaneous mergers of the Blockers (as defined in the Merger Agreement (as defined below)) with and into the respective Blocker Merger Subs (as defined in the Merger Agreement), with the Blockers surviving each merger as wholly owned subsidiaries of Aspirational (the “First Step Blocker Mergers”), (y) the subsequent simultaneous mergers of the surviving Blockers with and into Wheels Up Blocker Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Aspirational (“Blocker Sub”), with Blocker Sub surviving each merger (the “Second Step Blocker Mergers”), and (z) the subsequent merger of KittyHawk Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Aspirational (“Merger Sub”), with and into Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WUP”), with WUP surviving the merger, with Aspirational as its managing member (the “Company Merger”, and collectively with the First Step Blocker Mergers and Second Step Blocker Mergers, the “Mergers”), in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 1, 2021, by and among Aspirational, WUP, Merger Sub, Blocker Sub, the Blocker Merger Subs and the Blockers, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A (as may be amended, the “Merger Agreement”), as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and (iii) the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and documents related thereto. In connection with the Business Combination, Aspirational will change its name to “Wheels Up Experience Inc.”

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Aspirational (the “Aspirational Class A ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Wheels Up (the “Wheels Up Class A common stock”), (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Aspirational (the “Aspirational Class B ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (iii) each then issued and outstanding redeemable warrant of Aspirational (the “Aspirational warrants”) will convert automatically into a redeemable warrant to acquire one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock (the “Wheels Up warrants”), pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2020, by and between Aspirational and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent, and (iv) each of the then issued and outstanding units of Aspirational that have not been previously separated into the underlying Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and underlying Aspirational warrants upon the request of the holder thereof (the “Aspirational units”) will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock and one-third of one Wheels Up warrant. Accordingly, this proxy statement/prospectus covers (1) 251,970,842 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to be issued in the Domestication and (2) 7,991,544 Wheels Up warrants to be issued in the Domestication.

As a result of and upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), among other things, (i) all issued and outstanding equity interests of each Blocker (other than any such interests held in treasury or owned by such Blocker) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Step Blocker Mergers (the “First Step Blocker Effective Time”) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive in the aggregate (A) a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) multiplied by the aggregate number of WUP preferred interests held by such Blocker as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time and (B) any Earnout Shares (as defined below) that may be due and issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and (ii) each outstanding WUP common interest and preferred interest (other than any WUP common interests subject to the WUP awards discussed below and the WUP preferred interests held by Blocker Sub) immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (A) a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio and (B) any Earnout Shares that may be due and issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which will, in the case of all shares described in clauses (i) and (ii), together with the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock reserved in respect of the awards described immediately below, in the aggregate equal an aggregate merger consideration of $1,885,000,000, in addition to a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that may be issued post-Closing if WUP Options (as defined below) were to be cash exercised and due to the conversion of any WUP Profits Interests (as defined below) for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a level above the intrinsic value of the profits interests immediately after Closing based on a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, plus any Earnout Shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, as a result of the Closing, (i) each option to purchase WUP common interests (the “WUP Options”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted, including with respect to the applicable exercise price, based on the Exchange Ratio) an option related to the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (ii) each award of WUP profits interests (the “WUP Profits Interests”) granted under any WUP incentive plan or granted directly in WUP that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio and to maintain the intrinsic value of such award) an award of profits interests of Wheels Up, which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) each award of WUP restricted interests (the “WUP Restricted Interests”) granted under any WUP incentive plan will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio) an award of restricted interests of Wheels Up, which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock.

Further, as a result of the Closing, existing WUP equityholders will have the right to receive, including profits interests holders and restricted interest holders, but excluding option holders, through the issuance of Wheels Up EO Units (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that upon vesting may become exchangeable for, up to an aggregate of 9,000,000 additional shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in three equal tranches which are issuable upon the achievement of share price thresholds for Wheels Up Class A common stock of $12.50, $15.00 and $17.50, respectively (such shares, the “Earnout Shares”).

It is anticipated that, following the Business Combination, (1) Aspirational’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 8.8% of the outstanding Wheels Up Class A common stock, (2) WUP equityholders (without taking into account any public shares held by WUP equityholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or participation in the PIPE Investment) are expected to own approximately 68.9% of the outstanding Wheels Up common stock, and (3) Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and related parties (including the independent directors of Aspirational) are expected to collectively own approximately 2.2% of the outstanding Wheels Up common stock and (4) the PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 20.1% of the outstanding Wheels Up common stock. These percentages assume, as of immediately after the Business Combination, (i) none of Aspirational’s current public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) (A) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Restricted Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (B) the vesting and cashless net-exercise of all Wheels Up Options for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, (C) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on the basis of a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00 and (D) the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which, in the case of all shares described in clauses (A)-(D) hereof, in the aggregate equal 188,500,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) Wheels Up issues 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment. Such percentages exclude the possible future issuance of any Wheels Up Class A common stock as earnout shares and in connection with the exercise of any Wheels Up warrants. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, including if Wheels Up Options are cash exercised, or if due to appreciation of Wheels Up Class A common stock following the Business Combination, WUP Profits Interests become exchangeable for a greater amount of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, the percentage ownership retained by WUP’s existing shareholders in the combined company will be different. Assuming that all Wheels Up Options are cash exercised and assuming that all WUP Profits Interests were exchanged for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock without regard to any hurdle amounts, an additional 30,496,210 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock could be issued. Certain WUP equityholders are also PIPE Investors.

The Aspirational units, Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and Aspirational warrants are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “ASPL.U,” “ASPL” and “ASPL WS,” respectively. Aspirational will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of the Wheels Up Class A common stock and Wheels Up warrants on the NYSE under the proposed symbols “UP” and “UP WS”, respectively. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination described above that Aspirational receives confirmation from the NYSE that the securities have been conditionally approved for listing on the NYSE, but there can be no assurance such listing conditions will be met or that Aspirational will obtain such confirmation from the NYSE. If such listing conditions are not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the business combination described above will not be consummated unless the NYSE condition set forth in the Merger Agreement is waived by the applicable parties.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides shareholders of Aspirational with detailed information about the proposed business combination and other matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting of Aspirational. We encourage you to read this entire document, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 42 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated , 2021, and is first being mailed to Aspirational’s shareholders on or about , 2021.

As a condition to the consummation of the Mergers, the board of directors of Aspirational has unanimously approved a change of Aspirational’s jurisdiction by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication” and, together with the Mergers, the “Business Combination”). As described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, you will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Domestication (the “Domestication Proposal”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Aspirational will change its name to “Wheels Up Experience Inc.” As used in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, “Wheels Up” refers to Aspirational after the Domestication and/or the Business Combination, including after such change of name, as applicable.

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Aspirational (the “Aspirational Class A ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Wheels Up (the “Wheels Up Class A common stock”), (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Aspirational (the “Aspirational Class B ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding redeemable warrant of Aspirational (the “Aspirational warrants”) will convert automatically into a redeemable warrant to acquire one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock (the “Wheels Up warrants”), pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2020, by and between Aspirational and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent, and (iv) each of the then issued and outstanding units of Aspirational that have not been previously separated into the underlying Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and underlying Aspirational warrants upon the request of the holder thereof (the “Aspirational units”) will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Wheels Up

Class A common stock and one-third of one Wheels Up warrant. As used herein, “public shares” shall mean the Aspirational Class A ordinary shares (including those that underlie the Aspirational units) that were registered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-248592) and the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issued as a matter of law upon the conversion thereof on the effective date of the Domestication. For further details, see the section entitled “Domestication Proposal.”

You will also be asked to consider and vote upon (i) four separate proposals to approve material differences between Aspirational’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as may be amended from time to time, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”) and the proposed certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Wheels Up (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”), (ii) a proposal to elect 11 directors, who, upon consummation of the Business Combination, will be the directors of Wheels Up (the “Director Election Proposal”), (iii) a proposal to approve for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the issuance of Wheels Up Class A common stock to (A) the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (B) the equityholders of WUP pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”), (iv) a proposal to approve and adopt the Wheels Up 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal”) and (v) a proposal to approve the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Business Combination will be consummated only if the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal (collectively, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) are approved at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each shareholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

As a result of and upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), among other things, (i) all issued and outstanding equity interests of each Blocker (other than any such interests held in treasury or owned by such Blocker) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Step Blocker Mergers (the “First Step Blocker Effective Time”) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive in the aggregate a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) multiplied by the aggregate number of WUP preferred interests held by such Blocker as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time, and (ii) each outstanding WUP common interest and preferred interest (other than any WUP common interests subject to the WUP awards discussed below and the WUP preferred interests held by Blocker Sub as a result of the Second Step Blocker Mergers) immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio, which will, in the case of all shares described in clauses (i) and (ii), together with the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock reserved in respect of the awards described immediately below, in the aggregate equal an aggregate merger consideration of $1,885,000,000, in addition to a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that may be issued post-Closing if WUP Options (as defined below) were to be cash exercised and due to the exchange of any WUP Profits Interests (as defined below) for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a level above the intrinsic value of the profits interests immediately after Closing based on a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, plus any Earnout Shares (as defined below).

In addition, as a result of the Closing, (i) each option to purchase WUP common interests (the “WUP Options”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted, including with respect to the applicable exercise price, based on the Exchange Ratio) an option related to the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (ii) each award of WUP profits interests (the “WUP Profits Interests”) granted under any WUP incentive plan or granted directly in WUP that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio and to maintain the intrinsic value of such award) an award of profits interests of Wheels Up, which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as defined below), will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) each award of WUP restricted

interests (the “WUP Restricted Interests”) granted under any WUP incentive plan will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio) an award of restricted interests of Wheels Up, which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been, or will be entered into on or prior to the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), including (i) the Sponsor Support Agreement, (ii) the WUP Holders Support Agreement, (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement, (iv) the PIPE Subscription Agreements, (v) the Delta Investor Rights Letter and (vi) the Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Surviving Entity. For additional information, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a holder (a “public shareholder”) of public shares, which excludes shares held by Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), may request that Aspirational redeem all or a portion of such public shareholder’s public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem their public shares even if they vote “for” the BCA Proposal or any other Condition Precedent Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Aspirational’s transfer agent, Wheels Up will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account established at the consummation of our initial public offering (the “trust account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of December 31, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption takes place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Aspirational — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor and each director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any ordinary shares held by them, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by that certain Sponsor Support Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2021, by and among the Sponsor, Aspirational, each director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares and WUP, as amended and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

modified from time to time, a copy of which is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”). The ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of WUP to consummate the Mergers are conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, the amount of cash available in the trust account, after deducting the amount required to satisfy Aspirational’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their public shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (but prior to the payment of any (i) deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and (ii) transaction expenses of WUP or Aspirational) (such amount, the “Trust Amount”) at or prior to the date of the Closing is at least equal to $120 million (the “Minimum Remaining Trust Amount”) (such condition, the “Minimum Trust Condition”). This condition is for the sole benefit of WUP and is waivable by WUP, in its discretion. There is also a mutual condition that the PIPE Investment Amount (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) be at least $360 million. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will Aspirational redeem public shares in an amount that would cause Wheels Up’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

The Merger Agreement is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus (including the absence of a material adverse effect on WUP and the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by Aspirational’s shareholders and WUP’s equityholders). There can be no assurance that the parties to the Merger Agreement would waive any such provision of the Merger Agreement.

Aspirational is providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to Aspirational’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournments of the extraordinary general meeting. Information about the extraordinary general meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by Aspirational’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of Aspirational’s shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 42 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of Aspirational has unanimously approved the Business Combination and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement, and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to Aspirational’s shareholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the board of directors of Aspirational, you should keep in mind that Aspirational’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

The approval of each of the Domestication Proposal and Organizational Documents Proposals requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The BCA Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold your shares in “street

TABLE OF CONTENTS

name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the extraordinary general meeting. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the extraordinary general meeting in person or virtually, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting and will not be voted. An abstention will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. A broker non-vote will not be counted towards the quorum requirement, as we believe all proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary or count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the extraordinary general meeting and wish to vote in person or virtually, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person or virtually.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES ARE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO ASPIRATIONAL’S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT THE GENERAL MEETING. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU OR YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

On behalf of Aspirational’s board of directors, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

Sincerely,

Ravi Thakran
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a holder of public shares (as defined herein) (a “public shareholder”) may request of Aspirational that Wheels Up redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem public shares regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, Wheels Up will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account established at the consummation of our initial public offering (the “trust account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

See the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Aspirational — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of WUP to consummate the Mergers are conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, the amount of cash available in the trust account, after deducting the amount required to satisfy Aspirational’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their public shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (but prior to the payment of any (i) deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and (ii) transaction expenses of WUP or Aspirational) (such amount, the “Trust Amount”) at or prior to the date of the Closing is at least equal to $120 million (the “Minimum Remaining Trust Amount”) (such condition, the “Minimum Trust Condition”). This condition is for the sole benefit of WUP and is waivable by WUP, in its discretion. There is also a mutual condition that the PIPE Investment Amount (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) be at least $360 million.

The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, that following the Domestication of Aspirational to the State of Delaware, (i) the Blockers will simultaneously merge with and into the respective Blocker Merger Subs, with the Blockers surviving each merger as wholly owned subsidiaries of Aspirational, (ii) thereafter, the surviving Blockers will simultaneously merge with and into Blocker Sub, with Blocker Sub surviving each merger, and (iii) thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into WUP, with WUP surviving the merger, with Aspirational as its managing member, in each case in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What proposals are shareholders of Aspirational being asked to vote upon?

At the extraordinary general meeting, Aspirational is asking holders of ordinary shares to consider and vote upon:

•

a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Merger Agreement;

•

a proposal to approve by special resolution the Domestication;

•

the following four separate proposals to approve by special resolution the following material differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents:

•

to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of Aspirational from 500,000,000 Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 Aspirational preferred shares to 2,500,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Wheels Up preferred stock;

to authorize the board of directors of Wheels Up to issue any or all shares of Wheels Up preferred stock in one or more classes or series, with such terms and conditions as may be expressly determined by the board of directors of Wheels Up and as may be permitted by the DGCL;

•

to provide that the board of directors of Wheels Up be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term; and

•

to authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively), including (i) changing the corporate name from “Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp.” to “Wheels Up Experience Inc.” in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) making Wheels Up’s corporate existence perpetual, (iii) adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation, (iv) restricting the ability of persons that are not “Citizens of the United States” to own more than 25% of the voting power of Wheels Up, (v) being subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL and (vi) removing certain provisions related to Aspirational’s status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination, all of which Aspirational’s board of directors believes is necessary to adequately address the needs of Wheels Up after the Business Combination;

•

a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the election of 11 directors, who, upon consummation of the Business Combination, will be the directors of Wheels Up;

•

a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to (a) the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (b) the WUP equityholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement;

•

a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the 2021 Plan; and

•

a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting.

If Aspirational’s shareholders do not approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, then unless certain conditions in the Merger Agreement are waived by the applicable parties to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. See the sections entitled “BCA Proposal,” “Domestication Proposal,” “Organizational Documents Proposals,” “Director Election Proposal,” “Stock Issuance Proposal,” “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal” and “Adjournment Proposal.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Aspirational will hold the extraordinary general meeting to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders of Aspirational should read it carefully.

After careful consideration, Aspirational’s board of directors has determined that the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Aspirational’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Aspirational’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

Yes. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

Why is Aspirational proposing the Business Combination?

Aspirational was organized to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, with one or more businesses or entities.

WUP is the leading provider of “on demand” private aviation in the United States and one of the largest private aviation companies in the world.

Based on its due diligence investigations of WUP and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by WUP in the course of Aspirational’s due diligence investigations, the Aspirational board of directors believes that the Business Combination with WUP is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there is no assurance of this. See the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Aspirational’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination” for additional information.

Although Aspirational’s board of directors believes that the Business Combination with WUP presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders, the board of directors did consider the following potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion:

•

Aspirational shareholders would be subject to the execution risks associated with Wheels Up if they retained their public shares following the Closing, which were different from the risks related to holding public shares of Aspirational prior to the Closing;

•

risks associated with successful implementation of Wheels Up’s long-term business plan and strategy;

•

risks associated with Wheels Up realizing the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination on the timeline expected or at all, including due to factors outside of the parties’ control; and

•

the potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related macroeconomic uncertainty.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

These factors are discussed in greater detail in the sections entitled “BCA Proposal — Aspirational’s Board of Director’s Reasons for the Business Combination,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Wheels Up’s Business and Industry.”

What will WUP equityholders receive in return for Aspirational’s acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of WUP?

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, (i) all issued and outstanding equity interests of each Blocker (other than any such interests held in treasury or owned by such Blocker) as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive in the aggregate a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the aggregate number of WUP preferred interests held by such Blocker as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time, and (ii) each outstanding WUP common interest and preferred interest (other than any WUP common interests subject to the WUP awards discussed below and the WUP preferred interests held by Blocker Sub as a result of the Second Step Blocker Mergers) immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio, which will, in the case of all shares described in clauses (i) and (ii), together with the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock reserved in respect of the awards described immediately below, in the aggregate equal an aggregate merger consideration of $1,885,000,000, in addition to a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that may be issued post-Closing if WUP Options were to be cash exercised and due to the exchange of any WUP profits interests (the “WUP Profits Interests”) for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a level above the intrinsic value of the profits interests immediately after Closing based on a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, plus any Earnout Shares.

In addition, as a result of the Closing, (i) each WUP Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted, including with respect to the applicable exercise price, based on the Exchange Ratio) an option related to the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (ii) each award of WUP Profits Interests granted under any WUP incentive plan or granted directly in WUP that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio and to maintain the intrinsic value of such award) an award of profits interests of Wheels Up, which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) each WUP Restricted Interest granted under any WUP incentive plan will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio) an award of restricted interests of Wheels Up, which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock.

Further, as a result of the Closing, existing WUP equityholders have the right to receive (including profits interests holders and restricted interest holders, but excluding option holders, through the issuance of Wheels UP EO Units (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that are subject to vesting and become exchangeable for) up to an aggregate of 9,000,000 additional shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in three equal tranches which are issuable upon the achievement of share price thresholders for Wheels Up Class A common stock of $12.50, $15.000 and $17.50, respectively. For further details see the section entitled “BCA Proposal —The Merger Agreement —Consideration Aggregate Merger Consideration.”

What equity stake will current Aspirational shareholders and WUP equityholders hold in Wheels Up immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination), the Aspirational fully diluted share capital would be 42,489,784.

It is anticipated that, following the Business Combination, (1) Aspirational’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 8.8% of the outstanding Wheels Up Class A common stock, (2) WUP equityholders (without taking into account any public shares held by WUP equityholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or participation in the PIPE Investment) are expected to own approximately 68.9% of the outstanding Wheels Up common stock, (3) the Sponsor and related parties (including the independent directors of Aspirational) are expected to collectively own approximately 2.2% of the outstanding Wheels Up common stock, and (4) the PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 20.1% of the outstanding Wheels Up common stock. These percentages assume, as of immediately after the Business Combination, (i) none of Aspirational’s current public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) (A) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Restricted Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (B) the vesting and cashless net-exercise of all Wheels Up Options for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, (C) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on the basis of a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, and (D) the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which, in the case of all shares described in clauses (A)-(D) hereof, in the aggregate equal 188,500,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) Wheels Up issues 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment. Such percentages exclude the possible future issuance of any Wheels Up Class A common stock as earnout shares and in connection with the exercise of any Wheels Up warrants. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, including if Wheels Up Options are cash exercised, or if due to appreciation of Wheels Up Class A common stock following the Business Combination, WUP Profits Interests become exchangeable for a greater amount of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, the percentage ownership retained by WUP’s existing shareholders in the combined company will be different. Assuming that all Wheels Up Options are cash exercised and assuming that all WUP Profits Interests were exchanged for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock without regard to any hurdle amounts, an additional 30,496,210 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock could be issued. Certain WUP equityholders are also PIPE Investors.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels in Wheels Up immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the assumptions above.

Assumes redemptions of 11,974,632 public shares of Aspirational in connection with the Business Combination at approximately $10.00 per share based on the trust account balance as of December 31, 2020. The actual amount of redemptions could exceed the 11,974,632 public share redemption scenario presented herein.

Includes 169,023,943 shares expected to be issued to existing holders of WUP common interests and WUP preferred interests, 4,057,729 shares underlying the Wheels Up Options that are included as part of the consideration assuming a cashless net-exercise of all Wheels Up Options for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, 10,755,952 shares underlying the Wheels Up PI Units assuming such units convert at their intrinsic value to shares immediately after the Business Combination at a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, and 4,662,376 shares underlying the Wheels Up RI Units. Excludes the 9,000,000 Earnout Shares, shares that could be issued upon a cash exercise of Wheels Up Options and additional shares issued in respect of Wheels Up PI Units due to appreciation of Wheels Up Class A common stock following the Business Combination. Such additional shares would further increase the common stock ownership percentage of the WUP equityholders and would dilute the share ownership of all other Wheels Up shareholders.

Includes 75,000 shares held by the independent directors of Aspirational.

For further details, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement” and “Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

What is the maximum number of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares that may be redeemed in order for Aspirational to satisfy the Minimum Trust Condition?

The maximum number of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares that may be redeemed in order for Aspirational to satisfy the Minimum Trust Condition is 11,974,632 Aspirational Class A ordinary shares.

How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the Aspirational Class A ordinary shares?

On January 29, 2021, the trading date before the public announcement of the Business Combination, Aspirational’s public units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants closed at $10.80, $10.53 and $1.96, respectively. On March 12, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Aspirational’s public units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants closed at $11.13, $10.49 and $1.75, respectively.

Will Aspirational obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

Yes. The PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate approximately 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, for approximately $550,000,000 of gross proceeds, in the PIPE Investment. The PIPE Investment is contingent upon, among other things, the closing of the Business Combination. See the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements — PIPE Subscription Agreements.”

Why is Aspirational proposing the Domestication?

Following the Business Combination, Wheels Up may not be owned by an entity domiciled outside of the United States consistent with federal laws relating to foreign ownership of U.S. air carriers. Accordingly, Aspirational will need to change its domicile to a State within the United States in order to consummate the Business Combination.

Our board of directors believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of Aspirational’s domicile to Delaware. Further, Aspirational’s board of directors believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. Aspirational’s board of directors believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, including, (i) the prominence, predictability and flexibility of the DGCL, (ii) Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance and (iii) the increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors. Each of the foregoing are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “Domestication Proposal — Reasons for the Domestication.”

To effect the Domestication, Aspirational will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of

xvii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which Aspirational will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to the closing of the Mergers under the Merger Agreement. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Broker non-votes will not be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum, as we believe all proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary, and will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

What amendments will be made to the current constitutional documents of Aspirational?

The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned, among other things, on the Domestication. Accordingly, in addition to voting on the Business Combination, Aspirational’s shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Domestication and replace Aspirational’s Cayman Constitutional Documents, in each case, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, in each case, under the DGCL, which differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents in the following respects:

	Cayman Constitutional Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Authorized Shares (Organizational Documents Proposal A)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents authorize 555,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares.	The Proposed Organizational Documents authorize 2,525,000,000 shares, consisting of 2,500,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Wheels Up preferred stock.
	See paragraph 5 of the Existing Memorandum.	See Article Fourth, subsection(1) of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Authorize the Board of Directors to Issue Preferred Stock Without Stockholder Consent (Organizational Documents Proposal B)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 preferred shares with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by Aspirational’s board of directors. Accordingly, Aspirational’s board of directors is empowered under the Cayman Constitutional Documents, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares with dividend, liquidation, redemption, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of ordinary shares (except to the extent it may affect the ability of Aspirational to carry out a conversion of Aspirational Class B ordinary shares on the Closing Date, as contemplated by the Existing Articles).	The Proposed Organizational Documents authorize the Wheels Up board of directors to issue all or any shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix for each such series such designation, vesting, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights (and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof), as the Wheels Up board of directors may determine.

The Proposed Organizational Documents provide that the Wheels Up board of directors be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term.
	See Article 29 of the Existing Articles.	See Article Fifth, subsection (2) of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

	See paragraph 1 of the Existing Memorandum.	See Article I of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Perpetual Existence (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that if Aspirational does not consummate a business combination (as defined in the Cayman Constitutional Documents) September 25, 2022, Aspirational will cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up and will redeem the public shares and liquidate Aspirational’s trust account.

Restrictions on Non-U.S. Ownership (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not contain provisions restricting the percentage of voting interests of Aspirational that can be owned by persons that are not “Citizens of the United States” or requirements relating to the number of directors and officers that must be “Citizens of the United States.”	The Proposed Organizational Documents restrict the ability of persons that are not “Citizens of the United States” to own more than 25% of the voting power of Wheels Up and requires that Wheels Up’s chief executive officer, president, at least two-thirds of Wheels Up’s officers and at least two-thirds of the members of the Wheels Up board of directors be “Citizens of the United States.” See Article Tenth, subsection (1) of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Articles Third, Sixth and Eighth of the Proposed Bylaws.
Takeovers by Interested Stockholders (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not provide restrictions on takeovers of Aspirational by a related shareholder following a business combination.	The Proposed Organizational Documents do not opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL, and therefore, Wheels Up will be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL relating to takeovers by interested stockholders.
		Default rule under the DGCL.
Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents include various provisions related to Aspirational’s status as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a business combination.	The Proposed Organizational Documents do not include such provisions related to Aspirational’s status as a blank check company, which no longer will apply upon consummation of the Mergers, as Aspirational will cease to be a blank check company at such time.
	See Article 49 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.

How will the Domestication affect my ordinary shares and warrants?

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock; (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock; (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational warrant will convert automatically into a Wheels Up warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, and (iv) each of the then issued and outstanding units of Aspirational that have not been previously separated into the underlying Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and underlying Aspirational warrants upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock and one-third of one Wheels Up warrant. See the section entitled “Domestication Proposal” for additional information.

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication?

As discussed more fully under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” it is intended that the Domestication will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(l)(F) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Assuming

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that the Domestication so qualifies, U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

•

A U.S. Holder whose Aspirational Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication will not recognize any gain or loss and will not be required to include any part of Aspirational’s earnings in income;

•

A U.S. Holder whose Aspirational Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more and who, on the date of the Domestication, owns (actually or constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Aspirational stock entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Aspirational stock will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares for Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. Holder may file an election to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to its Aspirational Class A ordinary shares provided certain other requirements are satisfied; and

•

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, owns (actually or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Aspirational stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Aspirational stock will generally be required to include in income as a deemed dividend all earnings and profits amount attributable to its Aspirational Class A ordinary shares.

Aspirational does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits, if any, on the date of the Domestication.

As discussed more fully under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” Aspirational believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC. In such case, notwithstanding the foregoing U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code (which have a retroactive effective date), if finalized in their current form, generally would require a U.S. Holder to recognize gain on the exchange of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or warrants for Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrants pursuant to the Domestication. Any such gain would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on a complex set of rules. However, it is difficult to predict whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted and how any such Treasury Regulations would apply. Importantly, however, U.S. Holders that make or have made certain elections discussed further under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — PFIC Considerations — D. QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election” with respect to their Aspirational Class A ordinary shares are generally not subject to the same gain recognition rules under the currently proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Currently, there are no elections available with respect to Aspirational warrants, and the application of the PFIC rules to Aspirational warrants is unclear. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Each U.S. Holder of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or warrants is urged to consult its own tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules, including the proposed Treasury Regulations, to the exchange of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and warrants for Wheels Up common stock and warrants pursuant to the Domestication.

Additionally, the Domestication may cause non-U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) to become subject to U.S. federal income withholding taxes on any amounts treated as dividends paid in respect of such non-U.S. Holder’s Wheels Up Class A common stock after the Domestication.

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and

xxi

TABLE OF CONTENTS

non-U.S. tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, see the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Do I have redemption rights?

If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to request that we redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal. If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question “How do I exercise my redemption rights?”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to all of the founder shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The founder shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

How do I exercise my redemption rights?

If you are a public shareholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem the public shares, you must:

(i)

(a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through units, elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

(ii)

submit a written request to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, that Wheels Up redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

(iii)

deliver your public shares to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

The address of Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Public shareholders will be entitled to request that their public shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable). For illustrative purposes, as of December 31, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per issued and outstanding public share. However, the proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of Aspirational’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders, regardless of whether such public shareholder votes or, if they do vote, irrespective of if they vote for or against the BCA Proposal. Therefore, the per share distribution from the trust account in such a

xxii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. Whether you vote, and if you do vote irrespective of how you vote, on any proposal, including the BCA Proposal, will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to public shareholders electing to redeem their public shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with Aspirational’s consent, until the time the vote is taken with respect to the BCA Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. If you deliver your shares for redemption to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, and later decide within the required timeframe not to elect redemption, you may request that Aspirational’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically) to you. You may make such request by contacting Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, prior to the vote taken on the BCA Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s public shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, at least two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

If a holder of public shares properly makes a request for redemption and the public shares are delivered as described above, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, Wheels Up will redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination.

If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your redemption rights, such exercise will not result in the loss of any warrants that you may hold.

If I am a holder of units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?

No. Holders of issued and outstanding units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold your units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. You are requested to cause your public shares to be separated and delivered to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, by , Eastern Time, on , 2021 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your public shares.

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

It is expected that a U.S. Holder (as defined in the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for its Wheels Up Class A common stock will generally be treated as selling such Wheels Up Class A common stock, resulting in the recognition of capital gain or capital loss. There may be certain circumstances, however, in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of Wheels Up Class A common stock that such U.S. Holder owns or is deemed to own (including through the ownership of warrants). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Additionally, because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of any shareholder, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as well as the potential tax consequences of the U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs. The tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules are discussed more fully below under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

All holders considering exercising redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the Business Combination?

Following the closing of Aspirational’s initial public offering, an amount equal to $225 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from Aspirational’s initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in the trust account. In connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, on October 2, 2020, Aspirational consummated the sale of additional units and warrants, and a total of $14,746,320 of the net proceeds was deposited into the trust account. As of December 31, 2020, funds in the trust account totaled $239,795,125 and were comprised entirely of U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (i) the completion of a business combination (including the Closing), (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents to modify the substance or timing of Aspirational’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if it does not complete a business combination by September 25, 2022 and (iii) the redemption of all of the public shares if Aspirational is unable to complete a business combination by September 25, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), subject to applicable law.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the funds deposited in the trust account will be released to pay holders of Aspirational public shares who properly exercise their redemption rights; to pay transaction fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination; and for working capital and general corporate purposes of Wheels Up following the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination.”

What happens if a substantial number of the public shareholders vote in favor of the BCA Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

Our public shareholders are not required to vote in respect of the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of WUP to consummate the Mergers are conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, the Trust Amount is at least equal to $120 million. In addition, there is a mutual condition that the cash proceeds from the PIPE Investment are at least equal to $360 million. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, in no event will we redeem public shares in an amount that would cause Wheels Up’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a5 1-1 (g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Business Combination and related agreements and transactions by the shareholders of Aspirational and equityholders of WUP, (ii) effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, (iii) expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and receipt of any other required regulatory approvals, (iv) receipt of approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to be issued in connection with the Mergers, (v) that Wheels Up have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon Closing and (vi) the absence of any injunctions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Further, the obligations of Aspirational, Merger Sub, the Blocker Subs and the Blocker Merger Subs to consummate the Mergers is conditioned on the absence of a material adverse effect on WUP.

For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be consummated in the second quarter of 2021. This date depends, among other things, on the approval of the proposals to be put to Aspirational shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. However, such meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by Aspirational’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting and Aspirational elects to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

Aspirational will not complete the Domestication to Delaware unless all other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived by the parties in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. If Aspirational is not able to complete the Business Combination with WUP by September 25, 2022 and is not able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, Aspirational will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination and the proposed Domestication?

Neither Aspirational’s shareholders nor Aspirational’s warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

What do I need to do now?

Aspirational urges you to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder or warrant holder. Aspirational’s shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

How do I vote?

If you are a holder of record of ordinary shares on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, you may vote in person virtually at the extraordinary general meeting or by submitting a proxy for the extraordinary general meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you

TABLE OF CONTENTS

beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to virtually attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person, obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent, and you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or nominee as to how to vote your shares. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares and you should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Because all proposals presented to shareholders will be considered non-discretionary, there will not be any broker non-votes at the extraordinary general meeting. Broker non-votes will not be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal.

When and where will the extraordinary general meeting be held?

The extraordinary general meeting will be held at, Eastern Time, on, 2021, via live webcast at , or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the proposals.

Who is entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting?

Aspirational has fixed , 2021 as the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. If you were a shareholder of Aspirational at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the extraordinary general meeting. However, a shareholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person virtually or is represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting.

How many votes do I have?

Aspirational shareholders are entitled to one vote at the extraordinary general meeting for each ordinary share held of record as of the record date. As of the close of business on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which were issued and outstanding public shares.

What constitutes a quorum?

A quorum of Aspirational shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person virtually or by proxy. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What vote is required to approve each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting?

The following votes are required for each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting:

(i)

BCA Proposal: The approval of the BCA Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

(ii)

Domestication Proposal: The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

(iii)

Organizational Documents Proposals: The separate approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

(iv)

Director Election Proposal: The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

(v)

Stock Issuance Proposal: The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

(vi)

Equity Incentive Plan Proposal: The approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

(vii)

Adjournment Proposal: The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

What are the recommendations of Aspirational’s board of directors?

Aspirational’s board of directors believes that the BCA Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of Aspirational’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the BCA Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

How does the Sponsor intend to vote their shares?

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in

xxvii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote all the founder shares and any other public shares they may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the existing equityholders of WUP or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares, (ii) execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or (iii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals or not redeem their public shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of Aspirational’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing equityholders of WUP or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (1) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the BCA Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (2) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals, (3) satisfaction of the Minimum Trust Condition, (4) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (5) Wheels Up’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on our ordinary shares (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination).

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Aspirational will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

What happens if I sell my Aspirational ordinary shares before the extraordinary general meeting?

The record date for the extraordinary general meeting is earlier than the date of the extraordinary

xxviii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

general meeting and earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your public shares after the applicable record date, but before the extraordinary general meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at such general meeting but the transferee, and not you, will have the ability to redeem such shares (if time permits).

May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

Yes. Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Aspirational’s Chief Executive Officer at Aspirational’s address set forth below so that it is received by Aspirational’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting (which is scheduled to take place on , 2021) or virtually attend the extraordinary general meeting in person and vote. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Aspirational’s Chief Executive Officer, which must be received by Aspirational’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting?

If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and the Business Combination is consummated, you will become a stockholder or warrant holder of Wheels Up. If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will remain a shareholder or warrant holder of Aspirational. However, if you fail to vote with respect to the extraordinary general meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Business Combination (if time permits).

What should I do with my share certificates, warrant certificates or unit certificates?

Our shareholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver (either physically or electronically) their share certificates to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, prior to the extraordinary general meeting.

Our warrant holders should not submit the certificates relating to their warrants. Public shareholders who do not elect to have their public shares redeemed for the pro rata share of the trust account should not submit the certificates relating to their public shares.

Upon the Domestication, holders of Aspirational units, Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares and warrants will receive Wheels Up Class A common stock and warrants, as the case may be, without needing to take any action and, accordingly, such holders should not submit any certificates relating to their Aspirational units, Class A ordinary shares (unless such holder elects to redeem the public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth above), Class B ordinary shares or warrants.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your ordinary shares.

Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting?

Aspirational will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. Aspirational has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the extraordinary general meeting.

xxix

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Aspirational has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $25,000 plus disbursements (to be paid with non-trust account funds). Aspirational will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Aspirational’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Where can I find the voting results of the extraordinary general meeting?

The preliminary voting results will be expected to be announced at the extraordinary general meeting. Aspirational will publish final voting results of the extraordinary general meeting in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the extraordinary general meeting.

Our Mission

We connect flyers to private aircraft—and one another—to deliver exceptional, personalized experiences.

Our Opportunity

Private aviation, though a large industry with a growing addressable market, continues to be challenged by the difficulties endemic to pre-digital legacy industries.

•

Fragmentation of supply.

•

Outdated technology.

•

Opaque pricing and inaccessibility.

•

Underutilized assets.

•

Inefficient matching of supply with demand.

These challenges present an opportunity, one that is enhanced by tailwinds driving growth across the private aviation industry.

•

Acceleration in the growth of high-net-worth population.

•

Latent demand within an under-penetrated market.

•

Favorable consumer trends, including emergence of shared and experience economies.

•

Pandemic-driven shifts in priorities and behavior.

Our Solution

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-ph_oursolut4c.jpg]

We are building an innovative marketplace, powered by data, technology and operational expertise, to connect flyers to private aircraft, at scale.

We Are a Market Leader

TABLE OF CONTENTS

connect consumers to safety-vetted and verified private aircraft. Our comprehensive platform and proprietary technology are designed to bring efficiency and transparency to an industry that previously has been largely inefficient and opaque, making private aviation accessible to millions of flyers.

Our offerings consist of a suite of products and services that include multi-tiered membership programs, on-demand flights across all private aircraft cabin categories, aircraft management, retail and wholesale charter, whole aircraft acquisitions and sales, corporate flight solutions, special missions, signature events and experiences, and commercial travel benefits through our strategic partnership with Delta Air Lines. We believe our diversified marketplace platform offers a solution for all market participants, from aircraft owners and operators to individual and corporate flyers across a wide range of flight needs.

In just over seven years, we have become a recognized market leader with a track record of growth and innovation.

•

We generated $695.0 million in revenue in 2020.

•

Our fleet exceeds 1,500 owned, leased, managed and third-party aircraft, making it among the largest in private aviation.

•

For 2020, we had over 9,200 Active Members, over 11,300 Active Users and flew more than 150,000 passengers on approximately 45,000 flights, making us the largest provider of on-demand aviation in the United States.

•

For calendar year 2020, we achieved a Net Promoter Score of 87 for our customer flight experience.

•

We were awarded the 2020 Top Flight Award for Charter / Fractional / Jet Card Innovation category by Aviation International News.

We will continue to innovate and evolve our business to remain a market leader. The next phase of our growth involves two transformational steps to further our founding mission to simplify private air travel and make it more accessible.

•

We will continue to digitize and automate the matching of supply and demand within our marketplace.

•

We will make our offering more accessible, opening our platform to non-members, and creating a significantly larger TAM.

Our Revenue

While we offer numerous products and services to our customers and industry partners, we generate revenue within four main categories:

•

Membership Revenue — We generate membership revenue from initiation and annual renewal fees across our Connect, Core and Business membership tiers. We believe this membership revenue is highly visible and largely recurring in nature.

•

Flight Revenue — Flight revenue is generated by both member and non-member usage. Non-members include wholesale and Jet Card customers, special missions clients and users of the Wheels Up App.

•

Aircraft Management Revenue — Aircraft management revenue consists of monthly management fees charged to aircraft owners, recovery of owner incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, and recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees and parking. We pass recovery and recharge amounts back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin.

•

Other Revenue — Other revenue consists of Avianis software subscription fees, third-party MRO revenue, FBO revenue, whole aircraft acquisitions and sales related revenue and fees from sponsorships and partnerships.

Our Marketplace Strategy

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Uber for mobility or booking.com for hotels, each of these companies has introduced a revolutionary platform that connects consumers to providers at scale, fundamentally changing consumer behavior and driving significant addressable market expansion. These shifts, characterized by increased accessibility, pricing transparency and improved asset utilization, have yet to occur in our industry. For much of the private aviation market today, the process of discovering and booking a private flight remains complex, time consuming, opaque and primarily offline. We believe this leaves consumers dissatisfied and inhibits demand. On the supply side, aircraft owners and operators, reliant on brokers or agents to drive customer utilization, suffer from scheduling inefficiencies and challenged economics.

With the investments we have made and continue to make in our platform, including through our recent acquisitions, we have aggregated a large and growing pool of demand that we are connecting to one of the world’s largest and most diverse fleets of first- and third-party aircraft. Leveraging our industry-leading data and technology platform, our operational expertise, and the scale and density of our network, we believe we are best positioned to connect aircraft supply with flight demand bringing simplicity, efficiencies and market expansion that benefit the entire private aviation ecosystem of flyers, owners and operators of aircraft.

Benefits to Flyers:

•

Access and Ease of Use: A simple digital interface offering real-time price discovery and instant booking capabilities based on real-time availability and feasibility.

•

More Aircraft Options: Expansive network of safety-vetted and verified available aircraft.

•

Transparent and Dynamic Pricing: Advanced algorithms, machine learning and predictive analytics drive real-time trustworthy market-driven trip-by-trip pricing.

•

Reduced Cost of Flying: Network efficiencies, scale and productization of empty repositioning legs and shared flight options that together drive lower costs to consumers.

•

Coordination with Commercial Travel: Access to commercial travel benefits through strategic relationship with Delta, including Delta Medallion® status, Delta SkyMiles® loyalty rewards and first- and last-mile connections into Delta’s commercial network.

Benefits to Aircraft Owners and Third-Party Operators:

•

Increased Asset Utilization: More flight opportunities driven by one of the largest pools of consistent, premium demand.

•

Leading Flight Management Software: Access to a leading cloud-based solution to efficiently manage all aspects of daily operations (i.e., billing, passenger manifests, crew, ground, etc.).

•

Fleet Optimization: Capability to optimize fleet within a scaled visible demand network, reducing empty repositioning legs and generating incremental flight revenue.

•

Future Profitability: Reduce reliance on inefficient and often costly third-party broker or sales model.

•

Reduced Cost of Ownership: Access to Wheels Up charter demand drives shared revenue that defrays cost of ownership.

History of Innovation and Market Expansion

Wheels Up was founded in 2013 by industry pioneer Kenny Dichter to provide a cost-efficient, accessible and transparent option that addressed the needs of the modern private flyer.

Wheels Up introduced the industry’s first membership-based private aviation offering, providing access to an owned and leased fleet of premium aircraft for a reasonable initiation fee, annual dues and a pay-as-you-fly model. With this new model, Wheels Up reduced the entry cost of private aviation and expanded the universe of potential flyers. To service this offering, we invested in a fleet of new King Air 350i aircraft, an aircraft that most cost effectively addresses 70% of typical flights in the United States; those under two hours. This investment enabled us to secure initial fleet format exclusivity from the original equipment

TABLE OF CONTENTS

manufacturer (“OEM”), Textron Aviation, creating a differentiated product that gave us a strong foothold in a competitive market. We also focused on building a best-in-class team, a reliable and customer-centric experience supported by innovative technology and a trusted lifestyle brand.

The rapid market adoption and loyal customer base that followed supported expansion of our fleet offering to include a supplemental charter product to capture demand not satisfied by the aircraft types in our owned and leased fleet. Relying on a growing third-party operator fleet allowed us to capture additional demand and rapidly scale the business without significant additional investment in new fixed assets. Transitioning to an “asset right” business model began the transformation of Wheels Up into a full-service private aviation solution with capabilities to serve all customer demand, regardless of asset class and trip requirements.

Recent Transactions Have Accelerated Our Strategy

In the past two years, we completed six transformative strategic transactions to accelerate our marketplace strategy.

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-ph_recent4c.jpg]

Scaling our “Asset-Right” Fleet of Aircraft — We expanded the breadth and depth of our fleet with the addition of 340 aircraft across all cabin class categories, including 170 managed aircraft and the largest floating fleets of Light jets and Citation Xs in North America.

Broadening and Streamlining our Capabilities — We acquired direct control over our owned and leased fleet operations, added in-house maintenance capabilities, including heavy maintenance, with a nationwide footprint and diversified our operations with the addition of aircraft management, wholesale flight operations and special mission capabilities.

Driving Additional Customer Demand — We added thousands of flyers to our platform, including retail, corporate and wholesale customers. Additionally, our strategic relationship with Delta provides exposure to high-value Delta individual and corporate customers through co-marketing products, features and benefits.

Adding Advanced Proprietary Technology — The Avianis cloud-based flight management system is currently utilized by approximately 100 aircraft owners/operators, with close to 2,000 aircraft on the system. As the system begins to facilitate fleet optimization and provides access to Wheels Up demand, we expect Avianis to attract more owners/operators, and thus aircraft, to our marketplace.

Industry and Market Opportunity

The U.S. Private Aviation Industry is Large and Growing

TABLE OF CONTENTS

$1 million and corporations with annual revenue greater than $20 million (see chart below). Based on expected growth in global high-net-worth populations and assuming a minor increase in the weighted average penetration rate across the relevant demographics driven by digitization, optimization of supply and demand and simplification of a complex environment, we believe the addressable market can grow to $80 billion by 2025.

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-bc_private4c.jpg]

Significant Tailwinds Are Driving Growth Across the Industry

•

Growth in High-Net-Worth/Ultra High-Net-Worth Populations and Corporate Earnings — Capgemini Financial Services estimates that the number of high-net-worth individuals in North America has grown at an average of 10.9% annually from 2012 through 2018, a trend that is expected to continue. Corporate earnings, which have historically correlated closely to the utilization of private aircraft, also continue to achieve new all-time highs.

•

Favorable Consumer Trends — Market research indicates that experiences currently account for over 65% of discretionary spending. In addition, we believe the COVID-19 global pandemic has led to a shift in consumer prioritization of wellness and safety, with private aviation viewed increasingly by those in the addressable market as a health-conscious decision rather than a discretionary luxury.

•

Significant Latent Demand — According to a 2019 study from McKinsey & Company, only 10% of individuals that can afford to fly privately (measured as net worth in excess of $10 million) currently do so. According to a Goldman Sachs February 2021 study, consumers who have foregone spending opportunities have amassed “excess” savings of $1.5 trillion that will further fuel post-pandemic spending. Additionally, COVID-19 related stay-at-home and travel quarantine orders have temporarily suppressed corporate travel and spending, which is expected to return over time and further fuel post-pandemic spending.

•

Underutilized Assets, Growth of the Shared Economy and Impact of Technology — Industry data indicates the average private aircraft generally sits idle approximately 97% of the time. We believe that private aviation is among the last of the industries characterized by such latent and underutilized supply. The growing shared economy culture and mindset, most often incorporating data and technology driven platforms, has proven to be a global catalyst for increased asset utilization across numerous industries.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Private Aviation Has Challenges Endemic to Pre-digital Legacy Industries

•

Highly Fragmented Supply — Private aviation is highly fragmented with respect to both retail customers and owners and operators of aircraft. The top ten operators in the United States control only 8% of the industry’s capacity. More than 1,800 operators control fewer than 10 aircraft each.

•

Complex Operations — Customer demand is geographically spread out, unscheduled and often last-minute. Capacity is constrained due to asset availability, crew duty time limitations, unpredictable weather conditions, stringent regulatory requirements and scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.

•

Slow Adoption of New Technology — We believe the lack of investment in technology has left the industry reliant upon outdated technology and means of communication. These technological and communications challenges, exacerbated by industry fragmentation, have created a disconnect between the consumer and operator, with no ability to track and match demand based on real-time location and availability of aircraft.

•

High Customer Frustration Driven by Opaque Pricing — Pricing methodologies are inconsistent and unpredictable, with no clear indication of the variety of factors that drive total cost to consumers. The prevalence of manual quote-and-response models creates delays between flight request and price confirmation. Further, a lack of transparency at the time of booking regarding the true cost of a flight results in surprise surcharges and additional costs after the booking process is completed, and often after the flight.

Our Competitive Strengths

Difficult to Replicate Platform

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-fc_competit4c.jpg]

The investments we have made since our inception in our brand, fleet, service and technology, including through our recent acquisitions, have resulted in a comprehensive, integrated platform that we believe is unmatched and would take years and significant investment of capital to replicate in its scale and breadth of offering. We believe the comprehensiveness of our platform will enable us to effectively address the industry’s historical challenges, in particular through the continued development of our marketplace, as well as capitalize on future opportunities that may arise through commercialization of emerging and sustainable technologies, such as Electric Vertical Take-Off/Landing (“eVTOL”) and other electric aircraft or aerial ridesharing innovations.

Aspirational Lifestyle Brand

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-ph_aspirat4c.jpg]

We have built an industry-leading trusted brand that creates broad consumer awareness, attracts new customers and allows us to generate deep engagement with our current members and non-member flyers. We believe one of the most important attributes of our brand is trust. Each and every day, our passengers trust us with their lives, and it is paramount that we consistently reinforce this trust with our actions and words. This begins with our uncompromising commitment to safety as our number one priority.

We have fostered member engagement through unique media and brand activations and through our philanthropy platform, “Wheels Up Cares,” which supports multiple causes like Feeding America, the American Heart Association and TAPS, among others. Our brand is enhanced through partnerships with over 100 brand ambassadors, including Tom Brady, Serena Williams and Russell Wilson, among many others, whom we engage for member experiences and marketing opportunities. We reinforce our brand positioning and membership offerings through exclusive experiences at iconic destinations such as the Super Bowl®, The Masters® and Art Basel®, and with strategic partnerships through leading lifestyle brands, such as Four Hundred™ and Inspirato®. We believe these benefits are important for driving member loyalty and retention and serve to further differentiate the Wheels Up brand.

Membership Model

We provide private aviation services through our innovative membership program, offering three membership tiers — Connect, Core and Business. Each program requires members to pay an initiation fee and annual dues and provides access to one of the world’s largest combined fleets of owned, leased, managed and third-party aircraft.

Multi-Tier Offering Drives Deeper Penetration and Expansion of Our TAM — We launched Wheels Up with our Core and Business memberships which provided guaranteed aircraft availability and fixed rate pricing. In 2019, we added our lower-priced Connect membership, introducing a solution tailored to the prospect or member with less frequent flight needs and more flexibility in their schedule. In 2020, this multi-tiered structure, addressing a broad spectrum of private aviation needs, drove 59% year-over-year growth in Active Members.

Outstanding Service, Product Innovations and Lifestyle-Enhancements Drive Customer Loyalty and Engagement — We are continually evolving and adding value to our programs and services, including expansion of our flight offering to meet all travel mission profiles, the addition of new value-add digitally enabled features, the introduction of dynamic pricing, and expansion of our Wheels Down lifestyle program to include more events, experiences and partnership benefits. We believe this focus on enhancing the value of our memberships has driven our high member engagement and retention. For 2020, we experienced a retention rate of 89.6% for members whose annual flight spend exceeded $25,000, and over 90% for our highest spending members.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Growing Membership and Purchase Behavior Provides Predictable Revenue and Demand — Since 2014, the number of our Active Members has grown at a compounded average rate of 44%, and our Core and Business members on average spend between $70,000 to $75,000 annually. Approximately 45% of our Core and Business members prepay their forward flying each year through purchases of Prepaid Blocks in increments generally between $50,000 and $400,000. During 2020 and 2019, our members pre-purchased $532 million and $250 million of Prepaid Blocks, respectively. The combination of recurring membership fees, consistent per member spend and purchases of Prepaid Blocks provides us with strong visibility into forward revenue and predictability of future demand, while the Prepaid Blocks contribute to strong cash flow from operations.

“Asset-Right” Network of Aircraft

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-ph_asset4c.jpg]

Through targeted capital investments, cultivation of third-party operator relationships and recent strategic transformative transactions, we have aggregated one of the industry’s largest and most diverse fleets of owned, leased, managed and third-party operator aircraft.

Managed and Third-Party Fleets Support Rapid, Capital-Efficient Scaling — We are transitioning from a focus on our owned and leased aircraft to an “asset right” balance with increased utilization of our managed and third-party network fleet.

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-pc_manag4c.jpg]

We believe this strategy provides increased flexibility to quickly scale our business with limited direct and ongoing capital investment. Additionally, we believe we will be able to benefit from economies of scale as our fleet grows, creating the potential to obtain better pricing from key vendors including fuel providers, FBOs and third-party maintenance, training and other providers.

Expanded Fleet Drives Increased Demand and Flight Spend — We believe greater breadth and diversity of our fleet will increase wallet share from our existing members and appeal to a broader audience of members and non-members, driving significantly more demand through our marketplace and strengthening our member retention. In addition to supporting the extension of our offering from a focus on shorter flight segments to one capable of addressing all typical private aviation missions, our fleet scale and diversity has enabled us to innovate with new offerings, such as our recently introduced transcontinental pricing supported by our newly expanded Citation X Super-Midsize fleet.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

King Air Fleet Provides Differentiated Flight Option — Though we have since expanded our offerings to address all flight missions and profiles, the size and scale of our King Air fleet and the head start afforded to us by our initial fleet-format exclusivity with this asset allows us to continue to provide a differentiated option as the “greenest” aircraft available and the most cost-efficient option for the approximately 70% of private flights in the United States that are under two hours.

Fleet Flexibility Drives Network Efficiencies and Customer Benefits — In most circumstances, we maintain the flexibility to place customers on any of the owned and leased, managed or third-party assets available to us. The flexibility to optimize across a scaled nationwide network enables us to utilize the right aircraft, in the right place, at the right time. Over time, we believe this optionality will allow us to offer lower pricing and better experiences for our customers, maximize efficiency across a larger overall network and to drive future profitability.

Proprietary Technology, Algorithms and Data Ecosystem

We have invested significantly in extending our technology platform to support a growing end-to-end aviation marketplace. Our marketplace platform comprises three main elements: intuitive digital front-end interfaces, a middle tier supported by data-driven optimization and pricing algorithms, and a back-end featuring a comprehensive flight operations platform, with connectivity to a network of third-party operators, supported by our Avianis flight management system (“FMS”). Each of the elements of our marketplace platform relies upon and fuels a powerful data ecosystem containing data generated from within our systems, as well as from external industry sources.

Our Consumer-Facing Digital Products Support “Search, Book and Fly” Experience

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-ph_consumer4c.jpg]

Our front-end consumer facing applications include our highly rated mobile app on iOS and Android, a website for our members, and, shortly, APIs for third-party partner plug-ins to our marketplace. The core functionality of each of these solutions is our “Single Search” interface, which delivers dynamically priced flight options across multiple aircraft categories, in near real-time, available for instant booking. Our proprietary mobile app can distinguish all member and non-member criteria and retain personal preferences to ensure an elevated personalized travel experience. We believe the simplicity of the Wheels Up App, with transparent pricing and instant booking capabilities, provides a frictionless experience enabling us to expand our offering to non-members.

An Advanced Pricing Engine, with Matching and Optimization Algorithms, Drive Efficiency and Higher Utilization

The middle tier of our differentiated marketplace platform comprises a suite of proprietary technologies and data science capabilities that price trips, match aircraft to missions, and optimize aircraft and crew schedules. Currently, our revenue management and flight operations groups work inter-dependently to align available supply on the network with flight demand utilizing real-time booking data and predictive analytics. With algorithms that forecast demand by asset class and at a regional or local level, we can drive pricing that

TABLE OF CONTENTS

favors trips based on a variety of variables that bring efficiency to the network, such as improving asset utilization by shifting demand to lower volume days. With our proprietary optimization software, we are able to optimize our daily schedule across our full network to reduce repositioning costs, drive network efficiency and maximize asset utilization. We believe these technologies, and our proprietary pricing and optimization algorithms in particular, provide a competitive advantage relative to other competitors, many of whom rely on pricing and scheduling functions that are highly analog and manual.

Avianis FMS Provides Integrated Fleet Management and Will Connect Supply to our Marketplace

Avianis is a cloud-based SaaS subscription FMS that enables aircraft owners/operators to run critical elements of their day-to-day business (e.g., fleet scheduling, inventory management, flight planning, crew and maintenance scheduling, etc.) with integrations to third party trip service providers (e.g., ground transportation, catering, lodging, etc.) Approximately 100 aircraft owners/operators, with close to 2,000 aircraft, currently manage their fleet operations on the Avianis FMS, including several of our largest third-party operators. Certain of our owned, leased and managed fleets are already operating the Avianis FMS, and we expect to convert our remaining fleets by the end of 2021.

Beyond its core functionality with respect to day-to-day operations, we view Avianis as an essential element to unlocking the power of the marketplace to drive network effects at scale. We are extending the capabilities of the Avianis FMS to include our pricing and optimization technology, and to offer owners and operators the ability to opt-in to sharing real-time pricing and availability and obtain access to our high-fidelity data and consistent demand. We believe that as our marketplace scales and these new integrations and features come online, we will see many owners and operators, including those that are subscale with limited resources and no previous access to consistent and optimized demand, adopt Avianis as their core FMS to reap the benefits from our integrated platform, in turn bringing greater supply to the marketplace.

Data Science Powers our Pricing and Optimization Technology

Our proprietary technology, machine learning, and data analytics models optimize our supply, sourcing and logistics models, calibrate our pricing, streamline our processes and enable the acceleration of our overall flight revenue velocity. We generate and aggregate a significant amount of data across three categories that we believe are essential to, and collectively drive, the network effects that will benefit all marketplace participants: demand data (e.g., customer and transactional data), supply data (e.g., aircraft and scheduling data) and marketplace data (e.g., pricing and itinerary data). This aggregation and cross-section of data continuously inform and update our machine learning algorithms. And the value of the platform for participants is continuously enhanced, and greater amounts of data are generated, as more constituents are connected in our network.

Strategic Relationship with Delta

In January 2020, in connection with our purchase of DPJ, we entered into a long-term commercial cooperation agreement with Delta. We expect this relationship will drive significant value through certain strategic initiatives, co-marketing efforts and the creation of an array of new products and valuable features for existing and prospective customers of both Wheels Up and Delta, which includes or will include:

•

Delta SkyMiles® and Delta Medallion® status: Provision of miles within the Delta SkyMiles® Program to new and renewing Wheels Up members and Delta Medallion® status to Wheels Up members based on flight spend, as well as the ability for Delta customers to redeem miles for Wheels Up products and services.

•

Product Trials for Delta Customers: Introduction of exclusive Wheels Up partner benefits and product offerings to Delta’s 360, Diamond and Platinum Medallion members.

•

Co-Marketing Efforts: Marketing our products and services to our respective member and customer bases, including Delta’s large roster of corporate account relationships.

•

Platform Integrations: Targeted integrations of our respective technology platforms to streamline and drive cross-program engagement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Flexible Funds: Ability for Wheels Up customers to utilize their Blocks to purchase Delta commercial flights.

Delta is also a significant minority shareholder in Wheels Up and Delta has the right to designate, and at Closing will continue to have the right to designate, two members of our board of directors. We believe the participation of Delta’s designees on our board of directors adds tremendous strength and breadth of experience, and industry expertise, to our leadership team.

Innovative Founder Supported by Passionate and Experienced Team

Kenny Dichter, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, has been a recognized leader in our industry for more than 20 years. The leadership team supporting Mr. Dichter is comprised of seasoned executives with prior experience at best-in-brand companies like Amazon, Airbnb, Dealertrack and Cox Automotive, Bloomberg, Hilton, Patron and Coca Cola, among other industry leaders. Through this vast experience, the team has a demonstrated track record of scaling businesses, transitioning industries from analog to digital, driving adoption of marketplace solutions, capturing brand value and achieving profitable growth. The Wheels Up team includes, and is supported by, a deep bench of industry experts across all functional areas of the organization.

Our Growth Opportunities

Expand TAM with Introduction of Digitally Enabled Non-Member Access

We are at an important phase of our evolution as we aim to make private aviation more accessible and significantly expand our total addressable market. For the first time since our inception, we are opening our marketplace to include non-members using the Wheels Up App. We believe a user-friendly, transparent “search, book and fly” digital experience will remove friction points for new entrants to private aviation as well as appeal to those who currently use more analog and opaque competitive options. We also believe that many of these customers, once exposed to the Wheels Up experience and brand ecosystem, will, over time, become an important part of our member community. Our members will always be a critical component of our business and brand, and we remain committed to continuing to deliver for them on our promise of value, service and experience. We believe the additional demand driven by non-members should provide benefits to our members that include improved pricing driven by broader network effects and more flight sharing options, among others.

Fuel the Marketplace Flywheel

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-pc_fuel4c.jpg]

We believe we are only just beginning to reap the benefits of our foundational investments in the business. With our network of aircraft, the power of our marketplace platform and our trusted and aspirational lifestyle brand, we see many exciting opportunities for future growth.

Continue to Grow Our Connect, Core and Business Memberships — We believe that we have only just begun to penetrate the existing addressable market with our membership programs. In 2020, which was our first year selling an expanded, guaranteed cabin class offering, we had our strongest year of new Core

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and Business membership sales in our history. Our recently introduced lower-priced Connect membership also gained significant traction in 2020, achieving 275% year over year growth in active Connect members, and now representing over 25% of our total Active Members as of December 31, 2020.

Increase Customer Flight Spend — According to our 2018 member survey, our members were spending, on average, approximately 45% of their private aviation wallet share with Wheels Up, due in large part to our early focus on shorter duration flights. As we have expanded our fleet offerings to service a broader spectrum of flight needs, we believe we have multiple opportunities to increase our share of our customers’ overall private aviation spend through existing and new products and features (e.g., our recently introduced transcontinental product). We believe adoption of our comprehensive cabin class offering, introduced only one year ago, will accelerate as customer travel spend returns to pre-pandemic levels over time. We believe that as the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we will see increased flight activity in our member base as vacation flying and business travel recover to pre-pandemic levels over time.

Improve Unit Economics — We expect our flight unit economics will continue to improve over time. On our owned and leased fleet, we expect to enjoy significant cost savings from insourcing our maintenance operations and improving the efficiency and utility of our fleet. On our managed and third-party fleet, cost savings will be driven primarily by optimizing when and how we use those aircraft. We believe that as we grow our marketplace scale, this will become increasingly efficient over time. By optimizing the utilization of aircraft across our entire network, including our owned and leased, managed and third-party fleets through our developing proprietary technology, we believe we can enhance overall efficiency and achieve profitability.

Grow Aircraft Management, Maintenance and Other Existing Revenue Streams — We believe there are opportunities to further grow and monetize additional areas of our business. We expect our aircraft management business to grow as we continue to integrate our acquired companies and as the benefits of our large network become even more valuable and apparent to prospective managed clients. We believe the investment we are making in our in-house maintenance capabilities, including the expansion of our geographic footprint, allows the opportunity to also provide these products and services to third-party aircraft owners and operators. We have also invested in whole aircraft acquisitions and sales and special missions, all of which we believe could become more meaningful contributors to revenue.

Expand into New Geographies

We believe we are well-positioned to build on our market leadership in the United States by selectively expanding into other geographies, namely Europe, the Middle East, South America and the Asia-Pacific region, that have a significant number of high-net-worth consumers that we believe are currently underserved by private aviation offerings. We may pursue global expansion through acquisitions or strategic relationships with existing aircraft owners, operators or other industry participants in those regions and the roll-out of the marketplace app in new markets and/or through potential franchise or licensing opportunities. We believe any international efforts will be enhanced through our relationship with the Aspirational sponsors, given their vast experience in the global consumer luxury and lifestyle sectors and their network of relationships worldwide.

Extend into Platform Adjacencies

We believe that with the power of our brand, our engaged and highly valued customer base and our new relationship with the Aspirational sponsors, we can expand our platform into complementary luxury and lifestyle offerings, which could include lodging and yacht rentals, additional experiential offerings, co-branded credit cards and collaborations, as well as partnerships with brands that are affiliated with the Aspirational sponsors and other luxury brands. We believe our brand, technology and network position us to explore opportunities across the luxury travel market, which according to a September 2019 report by Global Luxury Travel Market, Allied Market Research, exceeds $1 trillion globally.

Explore Opportunistic Consolidation and Accretive Acquisitions

As a result of the Business Combination with Aspirational and the concurrent capital investment in our business, we will have unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet, affording us the flexibility to add scale and/or other capabilities to our network through opportunistic acquisitions

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and partnerships over time. We may explore opportunities in a number of areas that strengthen, complement or accelerate our business strategy, which could include complementary technology platforms, retail and wholesale charter providers, private aviation brokerage businesses, aircraft management companies or companies with functionality that complements or supports our other business operations, e.g., maintenance or special missions. We expect to be in the enviable position of being able to explore and execute on such opportunities based on our track record of acquisition successes.

Leverage Our Platform to Support Emerging Aircraft Technologies

In recent months there has been an acceleration of investment in the development of eVTOL, electric engine aircraft and similar sustainable aerial technologies. With the breadth of our platform across our customer base, brand, service, and technology, we believe we are uniquely positioned to support the commercialization of these aircraft. Our participation in the development, introduction and scaling of these new technologies could occur through acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures or other commercial relationships with manufacturers, operators and/or those building out the networks and related infrastructure.

Expand Flight Sharing Opportunities that Reduce Costs and Expand TAM

We believe that we can meaningfully lower the cost of flying privately through the expansion of our digitally enabled shared-flight opportunities, allowing us to bring new flyers to the industry and capture greater wallet share from an expanding addressable market. The ability to crowd-source and split the cost of a flight with like-minded travelers to a shared destination (e.g., a college football game, reunion, special event or a weekend trip), can reduce the cost of flying privately by 50% or more. We believe the continued growth of our member and customer base, including through the eventual introduction of sharing flight features through our publicly available non-member access, will significantly increase the pool of potential shared participants, which in turn will drive more shared flight opportunities. We are also able to bring down the cost of private flying by offering select by-the-seat opportunities on pre-determined and popular routes, such as New York to Nantucket, and to popular annual events, such as the Super Bowl® or The Masters®.

Parties to the Business Combination

Aspirational

Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp. is a blank check company incorporated on July 7, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Aspirational has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on Aspirational’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

On September 25, 2020, Aspirational consummated its initial public offering of its units, with each unit consisting of one Aspirational Class A ordinary share and one-third of one public warrant. In connection with the closing of the initial public offering and the underwriters partial exercise of their over-allotment option on October 2, 2020, Aspirational completed the private sale of 4,529,950 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, to Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) generating gross proceeds to us of $6,794,926. The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in Aspirational’s initial public offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company; (ii) they (including the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of Aspirational’s initial business combination; (iii) they may be exercised by the holders for cash or on a cashless basis; and (iv) they (including the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.

Following the closing of Aspirational’s initial public offering and the underwriters partial exercise of their over-allotment option, a total of $239,746,320 ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from its initial

TABLE OF CONTENTS

public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, including the underwriters partial exercise of their over-allotment option, was placed in the trust account established at the consummation of Aspirational’s initial public offering at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and maintained by Continental, acting as trustee (the “trust account”). The proceeds held in the trust account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. As of December 31, 2020, funds in the trust account totaled $239,746,320. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (i) the completion of a business combination (including the closing of the Business Combination), (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend Aspirational’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended from time to time) (together, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”) to modify the substance or timing of Aspirational’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if it does not complete a business combination by September 25, 2022 and (iii) the redemption of all of the public shares if Aspirational is unable to complete a business combination by September 25, 2022, subject to applicable law.

The Aspirational units, Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and Aspirational warrants are currently listed on the NYSE under the symbols “ASPL.U,” “ASPL” and “ASPL WS,” respectively.

Proposals to be Put to the Shareholders of Aspirational at the Extraordinary General Meeting

The following is a summary of the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting of Aspirational and certain transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each of the proposals below, except the Adjournment Proposal, is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the extraordinary general meeting.

BCA Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, Aspirational is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus statement as Annex A, pursuant to which, among other things, following the domestication of Aspirational as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), (i) the Blockers will simultaneously merge with and into the respective Blocker Merger Subs, with the Blockers surviving each merger as wholly owned subsidiaries of Aspirational, (y) thereafter, the surviving Blockers will simultaneously merge with and into Blocker Sub, with Blocker Sub surviving each merger, and (z) thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into WUP, with WUP surviving the merger, with Aspirational as its managing member, in each case in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Aspirational’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination,” Aspirational’s board of directors concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for Aspirational’s initial public offering, including that the business of WUP and its subsidiaries had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in trust (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust). For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal.”

Aggregate Merger Consideration

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, (i) all issued and outstanding equity interests of each Blocker (other than any such interests held in treasury or owned by such Blocker) as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive in the aggregate a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the aggregate number of WUP preferred interests held by such Blocker as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time, and (ii) each outstanding WUP common interest and preferred interest (other than any WUP common interests subject to the WUP awards discussed below and the WUP preferred interests held by Blocker Sub as a result of the Second Step Blocker Mergers) immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio, which will, in the case of all shares described in clauses (i) and (ii), together with the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock reserved in respect of the awards described immediately below, in the aggregate equal an aggregate merger consideration of $1,885,000,000, in addition to a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that may be issued post-Closing if WUP Options were to be cash exercised and due to the exchange of any WUP Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a level above the intrinsic value of the profits interests immediately after Closing based on a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, plus any Earnout Shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with respect to the applicable exercise price, based on the Exchange Ratio) an option related to the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (ii) each WUP Profits Interest granted under any WUP incentive plan or granted directly in WUP that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio and to maintain the intrinsic value of such award) an award of profits interests of Wheels Up, which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) each WUP Restricted Interest granted under any WUP incentive plan will be converted into the right to receive (as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio) an award of restricted interests of Wheels Up, which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock.

Further, as a result of the Closing, existing WUP equityholders will have the right to receive, including profits interests holders and restricted interest holders, but excluding option holders, through the issuance of Wheels Up EO Units that upon vesting may become exchangeable for, up to an aggregate of 9,000,000 additional shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in three equal tranches which are issuable upon the achievement of share price thresholds for Wheels Up Class A common stock of $12.50, $15.00 and $17.50, respectively. For further details, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Aggregate Merger Consideration.”

Closing Conditions

In addition, another condition to Aspirational’s, Merger Sub’s, the Blocker Mergers Subs’ and Blocker Sub’s obligations to consummate the Mergers is the absence of a material adverse effect on WUP.

Other conditions to WUP’s obligations to consummate the Mergers include, among others, that as of the Closing, (i) the Domestication has been completed and (ii) the Trust Amount is at least equal to the Minimum Remaining Trust Amount.

If the Trust Amount is equal to or greater than $120 million, then the Minimum Trust Condition will be deemed to have been satisfied. This condition is for the sole benefit of WUP and is waivable by WUP. There is also a mutual condition that the PIPE Investment Amount be at least $360 million. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will Aspirational redeem public shares in an amount that would cause Wheels Up’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

For further details, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

Domestication Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, if the BCA Proposal is approved, then Aspirational will ask its shareholders to approve by special resolution the Domestication Proposal. As a condition to closing the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the board of directors of Aspirational has unanimously approved the Domestication Proposal. The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will authorize a change of Aspirational’s jurisdiction from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while Aspirational is currently governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act, upon the Domestication, Wheels Up will be governed by the DGCL. There are differences between Cayman

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Islands corporate law and Delaware corporate law as well as the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. Accordingly, Aspirational encourages shareholders to carefully review the information in the section entitled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.”

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational warrants will convert automatically into a Wheels Up warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, and (iv) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational units that have not been previously separated into the underlying Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and underlying Aspirational warrants upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock and one-third of one Wheels Up warrant.

For further details, see the section entitled “Domestication Proposal.”

Organizational Documents Proposals

If the BCA Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are approved, Aspirational will ask its shareholders to approve by special resolution four separate proposals (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”) in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL. Aspirational’s board of directors has unanimously approved each of the Organizational Documents Proposals and believes such proposals are necessary to adequately address the needs of Wheels Up after the Business Combination. Approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. A brief summary of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals is set forth below. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents.

Organizational Documents Proposal A — to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of Aspirational from 500,000,000 Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 Aspirational preferred shares to 2,500,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock 25,000,000 shares of Wheels Up preferred stock;

Organizational Documents Proposal B — to authorize the board of directors of Wheels Up to issue any or all shares of Wheels Up preferred stock in one or more classes or series, with such terms and conditions as may be expressly determined by the board of directors of Wheels Up and as may be permitted by the DGCL;

Organizational Documents Proposal C — to provide that the board of directors of Wheels Up be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term; and

Organizational Documents Proposal D — to authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with the proposed certificate of incorporation of Wheels Up (the “Proposed Certificate of Incorporation”) and the proposed bylaws of Wheels Up (the “Proposed Bylaws”) in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively), including (i) changing the corporate name from “Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp.” to “Wheels Up Experience Inc.” in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) making Wheels Up’s corporate existence perpetual, (iii) adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation, (iv) restricting the ability of persons that are not “Citizens of the United States” to own more than 25% of the voting power of Wheels Up, (v) being subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL and (vi) removing certain provisions related to Aspirational’s status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination, all of which Aspirational’s board of directors believes is necessary to adequately address the needs of Wheels Up after the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Proposed Organizational Documents differ in certain material respects from the Cayman Constitutional Documents and Aspirational encourages shareholders to carefully review the information set out in the section entitled “Organizational Documents Proposals” and the full text of the Proposed Organizational Documents of Wheels Up.

Director Election Proposal

Assuming the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal are approved, Aspirational’s shareholders are also being asked to approve by ordinary resolution a proposal to elect 11 directors, who, upon consummation of the Business Combination, will be the directors of Wheels Up (the “Director Election Proposal”). For additional information on the proposed directors, see the section entitled “Director Election Proposal.”

Stock Issuance Proposal

Assuming the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal are approved, Aspirational’s shareholders are also being asked to approve by ordinary resolution for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to (i) the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (ii) the WUP equityholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”). For additional information, see the section entitled “Stock Issuance Proposal.”

Equity Incentive Plan Proposal

Assuming the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposal are approved, Aspirational’s shareholders are also being asked to approve by ordinary resolution the Wheels Up Experience Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), in order to comply with Section 312.03(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and the Internal Revenue Code (the “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal” and, collectively with the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposal, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”). For additional information, see the section entitled “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.”

Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to authorize Aspirational to consummate the Business Combination (because any of the Condition Precedent Proposals have not been approved (including as a result of the failure of any other cross-conditioned Condition Precedent Proposals to be approved)), Aspirational’s board of directors may submit a proposal to approve the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”). For additional information, see the section entitled “Adjournment Proposal.”

Aspirational’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination

Aspirational was organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

In evaluating the Business Combination, the Aspirational board of directors consulted with Aspirational’s management and considered a number of factors. In particular, the Aspirational board of directors considered, among other things, the following factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

•

WUP’s Large and Expandable Addressable Market. The Aspirational board of directors believes that the private aviation market is ripe for disruption due to a number of factors. The industry was

TABLE OF CONTENTS

worth approximately $31 billion in 2020 and, through WUP’s technology-driven platform and efforts to democratize private aviation, the Aspirational board of directors believes the industry can expand to $80 billion by 2025. The average private aircraft remains idle 97% of the time, and the Aspirational board of directors believes that the shared economy will increase private aircraft asset utilization. As of 2020, experiences account for over 65% of individuals’ discretionary spending, and an estimated 90% of people who can afford to fly privately do not. The Aspirational board of directors believes that the growth in the experience economy will continue to increase consumer demand for private aviation and that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will increasingly validate private aviation as a smart means of travel as businesses and high-net-worth individuals emphasize wellness over cost.

•

WUP’s Trusted and Iconic Lifestyle Brand. The Aspirational board of directors believes that WUP has built a trusted and iconic lifestyle brand through traditional and digital media, unique experiences and brand activation events. In addition to being the number one searched brand in private aviation, WUP has over 5 million website visits and 11 million page views. Through brand integrations, over 100 unique brand ambassadors and appearances on some of the most viewed shows in television history, including HBO: Curb Your Enthusiam®, SHOWTIME: Billions® and ESPN: College Gameday®, the Aspirational board of directors believes WUP has positioned itself as the trusted leader in private aviation. WUP also has an 89.6% retention rate for members whose annual flight spend exceeded $25,000, and an over 90% retention rate for its highest spending members, and the Aspirational board of directors believes that WUP’s trusted brand and reputation for safety will continue to appeal to a diverse and growing consumer base.

•

WUP’s Technology-Driven Platform. The Aspirational board of directors believes WUP has built the platform and technology to disrupt the private aviation industry by optimizing asset utilization for operators and increasing accessibility for consumers. The private aviation industry is highly fragmented with the top 87 operators representing 57% of the market and over 1,800 operators representing the balance of the industry capacity. The industry also consists of largely analog technological processes and an expensive broker network. WUP offers one of the industry’s largest and most diverse fleet of aircraft and is taking an asset-right approach, consisting of (i) owned and leased, (ii) managed and (iii) third-party network aircraft, to support the fulfillment of scaling demand. Further, the Aspirational board of directors believes WUP’s Avianis flight management system revolutionizes operators’ business through its cloud-based operating system and highly granular inventory management system. To meet the needs of the expanding consumer base, the Aspirational board of directors believes the Wheels Up App will provide an intuitive, powerful tool for managing customer experience, along with proprietary algorithms and data engines to benefit both operators and users. The Aspirational board of directors believes this technology-driven approach uniquely positions WUP as the most significant private aviation solution for both operators and consumers.

•

WUP’s Rapid Membership Growth and Expansive Future Opportunities. WUP has a rapidly growing membership base with more than 9,200 Active Members as of December 31, 2020, which represents an approximately 44% compound annual growth rate over the last seven years. Membership revenue is highly visible through Prepaid Block sales and largely recurring given WUP’s approximately 80% Core and Business membership renewal rate. The Aspirational board of directors believes that the Wheels Up App and software-centric approach will enable efficient expansion of its customer base and a user-friendly experience. Further, the Aspirational board of directors believes that WUP is poised for expansion into new markets, including the Asian market, which represents the largest consumption growth arena in the world.

•

Experienced and Proven Management Team. The Aspirational board of directors believes that WUP’s management team has extensive experience in key aspects of the aviation, technology, luxury and branding industries. WUP’s management team is led by its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kenny Dichter, who previously founded Marquis Jet, and also includes former officers, managers, or professionals of Cox Automotive, the U.S. Air Force, SFX, Coca Cola, Patrón and other industry leading brands. The Aspirational board of directors believes that under their leadership, WUP has built a private aviation company that empowers consumers to access and experience private aviation and has resulted in strong growth. The Aspirational board of directors expects that WUP’s executives will continue with the combined company following the Business Combination. For

TABLE OF CONTENTS

additional information regarding Wheels Up’s executive officers, see the section entitled “Management of Wheels Up Following the Business Combination — Executive Officers.”

•

Attractive Entry Valuation. Wheels Up will have an anticipated initial post-transaction enterprise value of $2.091 billion, implying a 1.8x multiple of 2022 projected revenue. After the completion of the Business Combination, the majority of the net cash from Aspirational’s trust account and the PIPE Investment is expected to be held on Wheels Up’s consolidated balance sheet to fund operations and support new and existing growth initiatives.

For a more complete description of the Aspirational board of directors’ reasons for approving the Business Combination, including other factors and risks considered by the Aspirational board of directors, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Aspirational’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination.”

Related Agreements

This section describes certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Merger Agreement. For additional information, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements.”

Sponsor Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Aspirational entered into that certain Sponsor Support Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2021, by and among the Sponsor, Aspirational, each director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares and WUP, as amended and modified from time to time, a copy of which is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor and each director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. For additional information, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Support Agreement.”

WUP Holders Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Aspirational entered into a support agreement with WUP and certain WUP equityholders (the “Requisite WUP Equityholders”), a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I (the “WUP Holders Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the WUP Holders Support Agreement, the Requisite WUP Equityholders agreed to, among other things, vote to adopt and approve, within 48 hours after the registration statement is declared effective and delivered or otherwise made available to stockholders, the Merger Agreement and all other documents and transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the WUP Holders Support Agreement. The aggregate amount of WUP common interests and preferred interests that are owned by the Requisite WUP Equityholders and subject to the WUP Holders Support Agreement represent an amount of such types and classes sufficient to satisfy the approval requirements for the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement under WUP’s applicable governing documents. For additional information, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements — WUP Holders Support Agreement.”

Registration Rights Agreement

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, Wheels Up, the Sponsor, certain equityholders of WUP, Leo Austin, Neil Jacobs, Frank Newman and the other parties thereto will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Wheels Up will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of Wheels Up common stock and other equity securities of Wheels Up that are held by the parties thereto from time to time, subject to the restrictions on transfer therein. The Registration Rights Agreement amends and restates the registration rights agreement that was entered into by Aspirational, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

connection with Aspiratonal’s initial public offering. For additional information, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements — Registration Rights Agreement.”

PIPE Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Aspirational entered into subscription agreements with the PIPE Investors (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”), a copy of the form of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $550,000,000. The obligation of the parties to consummate the purchase and sale of the shares covered by the PIPE Subscription Agreements is conditioned upon (i) there not being in force any injunction or order enjoining or prohibiting the issuance and sale of the shares covered by the PIPE Subscription Agreement, (ii) there not being any amendment or modification of the terms of the Merger Agreement in a manner that is materially adverse to the PIPE Investor (in its capacity as such), (iii) a customary bringdown of the representations and warranties of the PIPE Investor and Aspirational in the PIPE Subscription Agreement, (iv) the prior or substantially concurrent consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (v) solely with respect to Aspirational’s obligation to close, the Investor executing an investor representation letter addressed to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. The closings under the PIPE Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the Closing. For additional information, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements — PIPE Subscription Agreements.”

Delta Investor Rights Letter

On February 1, 2021, WUP, Aspirational and Delta entered into a letter agreement (the “Delta Investor Rights Letter”) providing Delta with certain governance rights relating to Wheels Up post-Closing. The Delta Investor Rights Letter becomes effective upon the Closing. Pursuant to the Delta Investor Rights Letter, subject to certain conditions, Delta is entitled to designate two members of Wheels Up’s board of directors at Closing, and to thereafter nominate (and if such director is not elected, to appoint, subject to certain limitations) two directors to Wheels Up’s board of directors, with one such individual to serve as a Class I director and the other to serve as a Class III director. Directors designated by Delta will not receive any compensation for their service as directors. Eric Phillips and Erik Snell are Delta’s director designees under the Delta Investor Rights Letter to serve as of Closing. If Delta ceases to own at least 50% of the shares of Wheels Up common stock that it owns as of the Closing, Delta will no longer have the right to nominate (or appoint, if applicable) one such director. If Delta ceases to own at least 25% of the shares of Common Stock that it owns as of the Closing, Delta will no longer have any nomination (or appointment) rights. WUP and Aspirational have agreed that, following the Closing, for so long as Delta continues to own at least 25% of the shares of Wheels Up common stock that it owns as of the Closing or has a designated representative serving on the Wheels Up board of directors, Wheels Up will not, without the consent of Delta, issue any equity or equity-linked securities to certain domestic commercial air carriers or any of their respective subsidiaries or parent entities. WUP and Aspirational have also agreed that, following the Closing, for so long as Delta continues to own at least 25% of the shares of Wheels Up common stock that it owns as of the Closing, Wheels Up will consult with Delta in hiring or terminating the employment of certain senior employees with responsibility for flight operations, safety, maintenance and quality control. If Wheels Up’s strategic partnership agreement with Delta is terminated by either party in accordance with its terms, Delta’s right to nominate (or appoint, if applicable) a second director, if applicable, and the right to consult with Wheels Up on the hiring and termination of certain employees with responsibility for flight operations, safety, maintenance and quality control will also terminate.

Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Surviving Entity

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, the existing limited liability company agreement of WUP will be amended and restated in the form of Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex J (the “A&R LLCA”). Under the A&R LLCA, the outstanding equity interests of WUP will consist of the following four classes of units: (i) a single class of common units that will be held by Wheels Up and Blocker Sub in an aggregate number equal to the aggregate number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is outstanding

TABLE OF CONTENTS

from time to time, (ii) a single class of restricted units (“Wheels Up RI Units”), all of which will be held by Wheels Up MIP RI LLC and will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding WUP Restricted Interest Awards immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) a single class of profits interests units (“Wheels Up PI Units”), all of which will be held by Wheels Up MIP LLC, will be subdivided into separate series designations which correspond to the respective series designations of WUP Profits Interests issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding WUP Profits Interests Awards immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iv) a single class of restricted units (“Wheels Up EO Units”), which will be held by Wheels Up MIP LLC and Wheels Up MIP RI LLC, and correspond to the pro rata amount of Earnout Shares that correspond to the holders of WUP Profits Interest Awards and WUP Restricted Interest Awards based on the number of such awards relative to the total outstanding interests of WUP as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the same terms and conditions upon issuance as are applicable to the corresponding WUP Profits Interest Awards and WUP Restricted Interest Awards, respectively.

In accordance with the terms of the A&R LLCA, vested Wheels Up RI Units, Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up EO Units will be exchangeable by the holder of the applicable WUP Profits Interests Award or WUP Restricted Interest Award (following a distribution to such holder of the appliable Wheels Up PI Unit or Wheels Up RI Unit, as applicable) for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as follows (each, an “exchange right”): (i) each vested Wheels Up RI Unit will be exchangeable for one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (ii) each vested Wheels Up PI Unit will be exchangeable for a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock having an aggregate value equal to the intrinsic value of such Wheels Up PI Unit as of such date, which intrinsic value equals the then-current value of the Wheels Up Class A common stock less the hurdle amount per share for the particular Wheels Up PI Unit, and (iii) each vested Wheels Up EO Unit will be exchangeable for its pro rata portion of the applicable Earnout Shares to which such Wheels Up EO Units relates, after giving effect to any forfeiture or cancellation of Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units through the date the applicable Earnout Shares vested and become issuable to the WUP equityholders, unless, in each case, Wheels Up elects to exercise a right to instead pay an amount in cash to the exchanging WUP award holder equal to the value of the Wheels Up Class A common stock that would otherwise have been delivered upon consummation of the applicable exchange. On the tenth anniversary of the Closing, all vested Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units will be exchanged for Wheels Up Class A common stock, to the extent not previously exchanged.

Organizational Structure

The following diagrams illustrate, in a simplified form, the ownership structure of WUP and Aspirational, respectively, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The following diagram illustrates, in a simplified form, the ownership structure of Wheels Up immediately following consummation of the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Summary — Ownership of Wheels Up Following Business Combination.”

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-fc_organiza3bw.jpg]

As shown above, following the consummation of the Business Combination, Wheels Up will incorporate an “Up-C” structure, which is sometimes used by partnerships and limited liability companies when they go public. Our use of such structure is limited only to the extent necessary to allow the continuation of the Wheels Up Profits Interests Awards in their current form rather than having them convert into shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock based on their intrinsic value in the Business Combination, as would have been necessary in the absence of such a structure. Wheels Up expects to benefit from the implementation and continuation of such structure both from the perspective of the performance incentive component the continuation of the WUP Profits Interests Awards in such form will have for applicable management members, and also from the tax benefits that will be derived from such a structure, all of which are being retained by Wheels Up. We do not believe that our Up-C organizational structure will give rise to any significant business or strategic benefit or detriment to us.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Ownership of Wheels Up Following Business Combination

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 29,968,290 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which includes the 5,993,658 founder shares held by the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) and the 23,974,632 public shares. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 12,521,494 warrants, which includes the 4,529,950 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor and the 7,991,544 public warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Aspirational Class A ordinary share and, following the Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination), the Aspirational fully diluted share capital would be 42,489,784.

It is anticipated that, following the Business Combination, (1) Aspirational’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 8.8% of the outstanding Wheels Up Class A common stock, (2) WUP equityholders (without taking into account any public shares held by WUP equityholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or participation in the PIPE Investment) are expected to own approximately 68.9% of the outstanding Wheels Up common stock, (3) the Sponsor and related parties (including the independent directors of Aspirational) are expected to collectively own approximately 2.2% of the outstanding Wheels Up common stock and (4) the PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 20.1% of the outstanding Wheels Up common stock. These percentages assume, as of immediately after the Business Combination, (i) none of Aspirational’s current public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) (A) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Restricted Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (B) the vesting and cashless net-exercise of all Wheels Up Options for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, (C) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on the basis of a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00 and (D) the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which, in the case of all shares described in clauses (A)-(D) hereof, in the aggregate equal 188,500,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) Wheels Up issues 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment. Such percentages exclude the possible future issuance of any Wheels Up Class A common stock as earnout shares and in connection with the exercise of any Wheels Up warrants. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, including if Wheels Up Options are cash exercised, or if due to appreciation of Wheels Up Class A common stock following the Business Combination, WUP Profits Interests become exchangeable for a greater amount of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, the percentage ownership retained by WUP’s existing shareholders in the combined company will be different. Assuming that all Wheels Up Options are cash exercised and assuming that all WUP Profits Interests were exchanged for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock without regard to any hurdle amounts, an additional 30,496,210 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock could be issued. Certain WUP equityholders are also PIPE Investors.

Date, Time and Place of Extraordinary General Meeting of Aspirational’s Shareholders

The extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of Aspirational will be held at , Eastern Time, on , 2021, at , or virtually via live webcast at , to consider and vote upon the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting, including if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the extraordinary general meeting, each of the Condition Precedent Proposals have not been approved.

Voting Power; Record Date

Aspirational shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned ordinary shares at the close of business on , 2021, which is the “record date” for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each ordinary share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially

TABLE OF CONTENTS

own are properly counted. Aspirational warrants do not have voting rights. As of the close of business on the record date, there were ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which were issued and outstanding public shares.

Quorum and Vote of Aspirational Shareholders

A quorum of Aspirational shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Aspirational extraordinary general meeting if a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or virtually or by proxy. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Broker non-votes will not be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum, as we believe all proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its ordinary shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

The proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting require the following votes:

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a public shareholder may request of Aspirational that Wheels Up redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is

TABLE OF CONTENTS

consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)

(a) hold public shares or (b) if you hold public shares through units, you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

(ii)

submit a written request to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, that Wheels Up redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

(iii)

deliver your public shares to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, Wheels Up will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of December 31, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption takes place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Aspirational — Redemption Rights” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote. Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor and each director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Holders of the warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

Appraisal Rights

Neither Aspirational shareholders nor Aspirational warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Aspirational has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the extraordinary general meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Aspirational — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of Aspirational’s board of directors in favor of approval of the BCA Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of Aspirational shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

Prior to Aspirational’s initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased 6,468,750 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, and transferred 25,000 of such shares to each of Leo Austin, Neil Jacobs and Frank Newman at their original per share purchase price. On October 2, 2020, as a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, 475,092 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. If Aspirational does not consummate a business combination by September 25, 2022 (or if such date is extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under the Cayman Islands Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares collectively owned by the Sponsor and three members of Aspirational’s board of directors (Leo Austin, Neil Jacobs and Frank Newman) would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, Aspirational would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account in respect of any Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and Aspirational Class B ordinary shares held by it or them, as applicable, if Aspirational fails to complete a business combination within the required period. Additionally, in such event, the 4,333,333 private placement warrants purchased by the Sponsor simultaneously with the consummation of Aspirational’s initial public offering and the additional 196,617 private placement warrants purchased by the Sponsor on October 2, 2020 in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, which were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $6.8 million, will also expire worthless. Certain of Aspirational’s directors and executive officers also have a direct or indirect economic interest in such private placement warrants and in the 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor. The 5,993,658 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock into which the 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares collectively held by the Sponsor and Messrs. Austin, Jacobs and Newman will automatically convert in connection with the Mergers (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $62,873,472 based upon the closing price of $10.49 per public share on the NYSE on March 12, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. However, given that such shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described above, Aspirational believes such shares have less value. The 4,529,950 Wheels Up warrants into which the 4,529,950 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Mergers (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $7,927,413 based upon the closing price of $1.75 per public warrant on the NYSE on March 12, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

The Sponsor (including its representatives and affiliates) and Aspirational’s directors and officers, are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to Aspirational. For example, Mr. Thakran, Mr. Bedingham and Ms. Myers, each of whom serves as an officer and/or director of Aspirational and/or may be considered an affiliate of the Sponsor, as applicable, have recently incorporated Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp. II (“ASPL II”), a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination. Mr. Thakran is the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of ASPL II, Mr. Bedingham is the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of ASPL II and Ms. Myers is the Co-President of ASPL II, and each owes fiduciary duties to ASPL II under Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and officers are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to Aspirational completing its initial business combination. Moreover, certain of Aspirational’s directors and officers have time and attention requirements for investment funds of which affiliates of the Sponsor are the investment managers. Aspirational’s directors and officers also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to Aspirational, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties, including ASPL II. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in Aspirational’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to Aspirational, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands Companies Act. Aspirational’s Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that Aspirational renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer of Aspirational unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Aspirational and it is an opportunity that Aspirational is able to complete on a reasonable basis.

•

Aspirational’s existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under Aspirational’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Mergers and pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

•

In the event that Aspirational fails to consummate a business combination within the prescribed time frame (pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents), or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the Business Combination, Aspirational will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Aspirational within the ten years following such redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in Aspirational’s trust account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Aspirational if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than Aspirational’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to Aspirational, or a prospective target business with which Aspirational has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of Aspirational’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

•

In connection with Aspirational’s initial public offering and the Business Combination, Connaught (UK) Limited acted as a financial advisor to Aspirational. Connaught (UK) Limited is an affiliate of an indirect minority member of the Sponsor but is not an affiliate of Aspirational or the Sponsor or any of their respective directors or officers.

consummates its initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the trust account to repay such advances and any other working capital advances made to us, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay such advances and any other working capital advances made to us, and such related party may not be able to recover the value it has loaned us and any other working capital advances it may make.

•

Aspirational’s officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Aspirational’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Aspirational fails to consummate a business combination by September 25, 2022, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Aspirational’s officers and directors, and their affiliates, expect to incur (or guaranty) approximately $20.5 million of transaction expenses (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions of $8.4 million being held in the trust account as of December 31, 2020). Accordingly, Aspirational may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination, is not completed by such date.

•

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor and Aspirational’s independent directors will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock and warrants held by such parties following the consummation of the Business Combination.

•

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation does not contain a provision expressly electing that Wheels Up will not be governed by Section 203 (Delaware’s “interested stockholder” statute) of the DGCL, and therefore, Wheels Up will be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote. Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, each of the Sponsor and the directors holding Aspirational ordinary shares has agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Aspirational.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Aspirational’s ordinary shares (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Aspirational will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Aspirational’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Aspirational’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “BCA Proposals — Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Interests of WUP’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

WUP’s executive officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Aspirational’s shareholders and warrant holders and of WUP’s equityholders generally. The members of the WUP board of directors were aware of and considered these interests to the extent that such interests existed at the time, among other matters, when they approved the Merger Agreement. These interests include, among other things, the following:

•

Some of the executive officers and directors of WUP have received options to purchase WUP common interests, WUP profits interests and WUP restricted interests. These options, profits interests and restricted interests will be treated as set forth elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Treatment of WUP Options, Profits Interests and Restricted Interests” for additional information.

•

The WUP board of directors has determined to partially accelerate the service-based vesting of all equity incentive awards that are outstanding under the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Option Plan and the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plans (including options to purchase WUP common interests, WUP profits interests and WUP restricted interests) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

•

Each service-based vesting tranche (excluding the “second vesting sub-condition” applicable to the WUP Restricted Interest Awards) will be rolled forward by 18 months, assuming the Closing occurs on April 30, 2021. If the Closing occurs after April 30, 2021, the foregoing roll-forward period will be reduced by the number of days from and including May 1, 2021 and the date the Closing occurs. As a result of this vesting acceleration, the applicable service-based vesting conditions (other than the “second vesting sub-condition” applicable to the WUP Restricted Interest Awards) that would otherwise have been deemed satisfied on or before October 31, 2022, will be deemed satisfied as of immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Business Combination. This partial acceleration would apply to all outstanding equity incentive awards, including those held by WUP’s directors and executive officers. See “BCA Proposal — Interests of WUP’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

•

WUP intends to forgive an outstanding loan with a principal amount of $5,000,000 made to Mr. Dichter, WUP’s founder and chief executive officer.

•

WUP’s directors and executive officers are entitled to continued indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage under the Merger Agreement.

•

Certain of WUP’s directors have subscribed for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in connection with the PIPE Investment. For additional information, see “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements — PIPE Subscription Agreements.”

See the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of WUP’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a discussion summarizing the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights, see the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Expected Accounting Treatment

The Domestication

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of Aspirational as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and consolidated financial statements of Wheels Up immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of Aspirational immediately prior to the Domestication.

The Business Combination

We expect the Business Combination to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, Aspirational is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination is expected to be reflected as the equivalent of WUP issuing stock for the net assets of Aspirational, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded. For financial reporting purposes, WUP will be presented as the predecessor to Aspirational.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the two filings of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. On February 16, 2021, Aspirational and WUP filed the required forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Business Combination with the Antitrust Division and the FTC and requested early termination.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding termination of the respective waiting periods under the HSR Act, the Department of Justice or the FTC, or any state or foreign governmental authority could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as such authority deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination, conditionally approving the Business Combination upon divestiture of assets, subjecting the completion of the Business Combination to regulatory conditions or seeking other remedies. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. Aspirational cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, Aspirational cannot assure you as to its result.

Neither Aspirational nor WUP is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions required by regulatory authorities for completion of the Business Combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions is required, such approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any approvals or actions, including any such additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

Emerging Growth Company

Aspirational is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in Aspirational’s periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. Aspirational has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, Aspirational, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of Aspirational’s financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (A) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of Aspirational’s initial public offering, (B) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (C) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which we have issued

TABLE OF CONTENTS

more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the Aspirational extraordinary general meeting, a shareholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

WUP may not be able to successfully implement its growth strategies.

•

WUP has a limited operating history and history of net losses, and it anticipates that it will experience net losses for the foreseeable future.

•

WUP’s operating results are expected to be difficult to predict based on a number of factors that also will affect WUP’s long-term performance.

•

WUP may not be able to grow its complementary products and service offerings through opportunistic acquisitions or otherwise as part of its growth strategy. Any failure to adequately integrate past and future acquisitions into WUP’s business could have a material adverse effect on it.

•

WUP is exposed to the risk of a decrease in demand for private aviation services.

•

The outbreak and global spread of COVID-19 has adversely impacted certain aspects of WUP’s business. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and similar public health threats that WUP may face in the future, could result in additional adverse effects on WUP’s business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

•

WUP is subject to certain restrictions on its business as a result of its participation in governmental programs under the CARES Act.

•

Delta may have the right to terminate its commercial agreements with WUP.

•

The supply of pilots to the airline industry is limited and may negatively affect WUP’s operations and financial condition. Increases in WUP’s labor costs, which constitute a substantial portion of its total operating costs, may adversely affect WUP’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

•

WUP may be subject to unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or increased labor costs and the unionization of WUP’s pilots and inflight crewmembers could result in increased labor costs.

•

Significant increases in fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on WUP’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

•

Some of WUP’s business is dependent on its third-party operators to provide flights for WUP’s customers. If such third-party operators do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with WUP, WUP’s costs may increase and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

•

If WUP’s efforts to continue to build its strong brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, WUP may not be able to attract or retain members, and WUP’s operating results may be adversely affected.

•

Any failure to offer high-quality customer support may harm WUP’s relationships with its customers and could adversely affect WUP’s reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

•

If WUP is unable to adequately protect its intellectual property interests or are found to be infringing on intellectual property interests of others, WUP may incur significant expense and its business may be adversely affected.

•

A delay or failure to identify and devise, invest in and implement certain important technology, business, and other initiatives could have a material impact on WUP’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

A failure in WUP’s technology or breaches of the security of WUP’s information technology infrastructure may adversely affect WUP’s business and financial condition and disrupt WUP’s customers’ businesses.

•

WUP’s obligations in connection with its indebtedness and other contractual obligations could impair its liquidity and thereby harm its business, results of operations and financial condition.

•

WUP is required to comply with certain ongoing financial and other covenants under certain credit facilities and leases, and if WUP fails to meet those covenants or otherwise suffers a default thereunder, WUP’s lenders and lessors may accelerate the payment of such obligations.

•

WUP’s ability to obtain financing or access capital markets may be limited.

•

WUP could suffer losses and adverse publicity stemming from any accident involving its aircraft models operated by WUP or third parties.

•

Terrorist activities or warnings have dramatically impacted the aviation industry and will likely continue to do so.

•

WUP is subject to significant governmental regulation.

•

WUP is subject to various environmental and noise laws and regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on WUP’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

•

Wheels Up’s Proposed Organizational Documents includes provisions limiting voting by non-U.S. Citizens.

•

Neither the Aspirational board of directors nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.

•

Since the Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and executive officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of its shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with WUP is appropriate as its initial business combination. Such interests include that Sponsor will lose its entire investment in Aspirational if its business combination is not completed.

•

The public shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of Wheels Up Class A common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, due to future issuances pursuant to the 2021 Plan, as part of the Earnout Shares, due to the cash exercise WUP Options and due to the exchange of any WUP Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a level above the intrinsic value of the profits interests immediately after Closing. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that Aspirational current stockholders have on the management of Wheels Up.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the “Summary Pro Forma Information”) gives effect to the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC Topic 805, Aspirational is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination is expected to be reflected as the equivalent of WUP issuing stock for the net assets of Aspirational, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or intangible assets are recorded. For financial reporting purposes, WUP will be presented as the predecessor to Aspirational. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.

The Summary Pro Forma Information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the post-combination company appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements and related notes of Aspirational and WUP for the applicable periods included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The Summary Pro Forma Information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the post-combination company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the Summary Pro Forma Information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the post-combination company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption by Aspirational’s public shareholders of shares of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing) in the trust account:

•

Assuming No Redemption: This presentation assumes that no public shareholders of Aspirational exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the trust account.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemption: This presentation assumes 11,974,632 of the public shares are redeemed for their pro rata share of the funds in Aspirational’s trust account. This scenario gives effect to Aspirational’s public shareholder redemptions of 11,974,632 shares for aggregate redemption payments of $119.7 million and is based on the Minimum Trust Condition that Aspirational will have a minimum of $120.0 million in cash comprising the cash held in the trust account after giving effect to Aspirational public shareholder redemptions (but prior to the payment of any (i) deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and (ii) transaction expenses of WUP or Aspirational) at or prior to the Closing Date. The Minimum Trust Condition is waivable by WUP, and if so, waived by WUP, the maximum amount of redemptions could exceed the 11,974,632 public share redemption scenario presented herein.

(1)

Includes the potential future exchange of the vested and unvested Wheels Up PI Units into which the WUP Profits Interests will be converted in the Business Combination for 10,755,592 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on an as-exchanged basis at a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00. In addition, there are 4,662,376 Wheels Up RI Units into which the WUP Restricted Interests will be converted upon consummation of the Business Combination that will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on a 1:1 basis, subject to vesting. The Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units will not represent legally issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock until such units are exchanged for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock. As such, the WUP Profits Interests and WUP Restricted Interests were excluded from the calculation of combined pro forma net loss per share.

(2)

Excludes the impact of vested and unvested WUP Options that will be converted into options to purchase 16,267,386 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as part of the Business Combination, and which would be exercisable for 4,057,729 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on a cashless basis assuming a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00. The shares underlying these WUP Options will not represent legally issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock until such options (as converted after the Business Combination) are exercised. As such, these underlying shares were excluded from the calculation of combined pro forma net loss per share.

(3)

For the purposes of applying the treasury stock method for calculating pro forma diluted net loss per share, it was assumed that all 12,521,494 outstanding warrants sold in the initial public offering and the private placement are exchanged for Class A Wheels Up common stock. However, since this results in anti-dilution, the effect of such exchange was not included in the calculation of combined pro forma diluted net loss per share.

(4)

The combined pro forma net loss per share excludes the impact of Earnout Shares, as the vesting conditions for Earnout Shares have not been met. Additionally, the inclusion of Earnout Shares would have been anti-dilutive; thus, the effect was not included in the calculation of combined pro forma diluted net loss per share.

The outstanding Wheels Up PI Units represent 10,755,952 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on an as-exchanged basis, using a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00. There are 4,662,376 Wheels Up RI Units outstanding that are subject to further vesting conditions but will be exchangeable on a 1:1 basis for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, subject to certain lock-up restrictions.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

The following table sets forth summary historical comparative share information for Aspirational and WUP and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

•

The pro forma book value information reflects the Business Combination as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020. The weighted average shares outstanding and net loss per share information reflect the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.

This information is only a summary and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Aspirational and WUP and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of Aspirational and WUP is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma combined net loss per share information below does not purport to represent the net loss per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the period presented, or net income (loss) per share for any future date or period. The unaudited combined pro forma book value per share information below does not purport to represent what the value of Aspirational and WUP would have been had the companies been combined during the period presented.

WUP Profits Interests and WUP Restricted Interests will convert into Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units in WUP and remain outstanding immediately after the Business Combination. The combined pro forma book value per share is presented assuming that all the existing holders of vested and unvested Wheels Up PI Units exchanged all such equity interests for 10,755,952 newly issued shares

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of Wheels Up Class A common stock on a value for value basis (based on the intrinsic value of such interests as of immediately after the closing of the Business Combination, using a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00). Assuming full appreciation of each Wheels Up PI Units after the closing of the Business Combination, without reference to the applicable threshold amounts, up to 29,042,505 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock could become issuable. The 4,662,376 Wheels Up RI Units are not included in this calculation because they are not fully vested as of the closing of the Business Combination.

(4)

Excludes the potential future exchange of Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock. The Wheels Up PI units and the Wheels Up RI Units will not represent legally issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock until such units are exchanged for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock. As such, the WUP Profits Interests and WUP Restricted Interests were excluded from the calculation of pro forma net loss per share.

(6)

For purposes of applying the treasury stock method to calculate pro forma diluted net loss per share, it was assumed that all 12,521,494 outstanding warrants sold in the initial public offering and the private placement are exchanged for Class A Wheels Up common stock. However, since this results in anti-dilution, the effect of such exchange was not included in the calculation of pro forma diluted net loss per share.

We may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategies.

Our growth strategies include, among other things, expanding our addressable market by opening up private aviation to non-members through our marketplace, expanding into new domestic and international markets and developing adjacent businesses. We face numerous challenges in implementing our growth strategies, including our ability to execute on market, business, product/service and geographic expansions. Our strategies for growth are dependent on, among other things, our ability to expand existing products and service offerings and launch new products and service offerings. Although we devote significant financial and other resources to the expansion of our products and service offerings, our efforts may not be commercially successful or achieve the desired results. Our financial results and our ability to maintain or improve our competitive position will depend on our ability to effectively gauge the direction of our key marketplaces and successfully identify, develop, market and sell new or improved products and services in these changing marketplaces. Our inability to successfully implement our growth strategies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and any assumptions underlying estimates of expected cost savings or expected revenues may be inaccurate.

We have a limited operating history and history of net losses, and we anticipate that we will experience net losses for the foreseeable future.

You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in their early stage of development. We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company and launched our business on July 1, 2013. Accordingly, we have limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects.

We have experienced significant net losses since our inception and, given the significant operating and capital expenditures associated with our business plan, anticipate continuing net losses for the foreseeable future. If we do achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain or increase such profitability. We incurred a net loss of approximately $85.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. We have not consistently generated positive cash flow from operations, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future. To achieve and sustain profitability, we must accomplish numerous objectives, including broadening and stabilizing our sources of revenue and increasing the number of paying members to our service. Accomplishing these objectives may require significant capital investments. We cannot be assured that we will be able to achieve these objectives.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our operating results are expected to be difficult to predict based on a number of factors that also will affect our long-term performance.

We expect our operating results to fluctuate significantly in the future based on a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control and difficult to predict. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indicator of our future or long-term performance. The following factors may affect us from period-to-period and may affect our long-term performance:

•

we may fail to successfully execute our business, marketing and other strategies;

•

our ability to grow complementary products and service offerings may be limited, which could negatively impact our growth rate and financial performance;

•

we may be unable to attract new customers and/or retain existing customers;

•

we may require additional capital to finance strategic investments and operations, pursue business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, and we cannot be sure that additional financing will be available;

•

our historical growth rates may not be reflective of our future growth;

•

our business and operating results may be significantly impacted by general economic conditions, the health of the U.S. aviation industry and risks associated with our aviation assets;

•

litigation or investigations involving us could result in material settlements, fines or penalties and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations;

•

existing or new adverse regulations or interpretations thereof applicable to our industry may restrict our ability to expand or to operate our business as we wish and may expose us to fines and other penalties;

•

the occurrence of geopolitical events such as war, terrorism, civil unrest, political instability, environmental or climatic factors, natural disaster, pandemic or epidemic outbreak, public health crisis and general economic conditions may have an adverse effect on our business;

•

some of our potential losses may not be covered by insurance, and we may be unable to obtain or maintain adequate insurance coverage; and

•

we are potentially subject to taxation-related risks in multiple jurisdictions, and changes in tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, results of operations or financial condition.

We may not be able to grow our complementary products and service offerings through opportunistic acquisitions or otherwise as part of our growth strategy. Any failure to adequately integrate past and future acquisitions into our business could have a material adverse effect on us.

From time to time, we may consider opportunities to acquire other companies, products or technologies that may enhance our products and service offerings or technology, expand the breadth of our markets or customer base, or advance our business strategies. Any such transaction could be material to our business and could take any number of forms, including mergers, joint ventures and the purchase of equity interests. The consideration for such transactions may include, among other things, cash, common stock or our equity interests, and in conjunction with a transaction we might incur additional indebtedness. If we elect to pursue an acquisition, our ability to successfully implement this transaction would depend on a variety of factors, including obtaining financing on acceptable terms and compliance with the restrictions contained in our debt agreements. If we need to obtain any lenders’ or third parties’ consent prior to an acquisition, they may refuse to provide such consent or condition their consent on our compliance with additional restrictive covenants that limit our operating flexibility.

Acquisition transactions involve risks, including, but not limited to:

•

insufficient revenue to offset liabilities assumed;

•

inadequate return of capital;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

regulatory or compliance issues, including securing and maintaining regulatory approvals;

•

unidentified issues not discovered in due diligence;

•

those associated with integrating the operations or (as applicable) separately maintaining the operations;

•

financial reporting;

•

managing geographically dispersed operations;

•

the diversion of management’s attention from current operations;

•

potential unknown risks associated with an acquisition;

•

unanticipated expenses related to acquired businesses or technologies and their integration into our existing business or technology;

•

the potential loss of key employees, customers or partners of an acquired business; or

•

the tax effects of any such acquisitions.

We may not successfully integrate our past acquisitions, including the recent acquisitions of Mountain Aviation, Gama, DPJ, Avianis and TMC, or future acquisitions and may not achieve anticipated revenue and cost benefits relating to any such transactions. Realizing the benefits of acquisitions depends in part on the integration of operations and personnel. If we do not complete an announced acquisition transaction or integrate an acquired business successfully and in a timely manner, we may not realize the benefits of the acquisition to the extent anticipated, and in certain circumstances an acquisition could harm our financial position. In addition, strategic transactions may be expensive, time consuming and may strain our resources. Such transactions may not be accretive to our earnings and may negatively impact our results of operations as a result of, among other things, the incurrence of debt, or the impairment or write-off of goodwill and intangible assets. Furthermore, strategic transactions that we may pursue could result in dilutive issuances of equity securities. As a result of the risks inherent in such transactions, we cannot guarantee that any future transaction will be completed successfully or that it will ultimately result in the realization of our anticipated benefits or that it will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we were to complete such an acquisition, investment or other strategic transaction, we may require additional debt financing that could result in a significant increase in our amount of debt and our debt service obligations.

We are exposed to the risk of a decrease in demand for private aviation services.

Historically, we have generally provided private aviation services through a membership-only program business model. Our membership program requires members to generally pay an up-front initiation fee and recurring annual dues. If demand for private aviation services were to decrease, this could result in slower new member growth, members declining to renew their memberships and/or reducing their aggregate flight utilization and spend, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, we have historically relied on the purchase of memberships and Prepaid Blocks by members as a source of capital to fund our ongoing operations. Changes in demand for our products and services by our members could result in a significant decrease in such Prepaid Blocks or an increase in the rate at which our members utilize their Prepaid Blocks. Such changes could unexpectedly accelerate our liquidity needs and require us to seek alternate sources of capital, including additional financings, which may not be available.

In addition, our customers may consider private air travel through our products and services to be a luxury item, especially when compared to commercial air travel. As a result, any general downturn in economic, business and financial conditions which has an adverse effect on our customers’ spending habits could cause them to travel less frequently and, to the extent they travel, to travel using commercial air carriers or other means considered to be more economical than our products and services. In addition, in cases where sufficient hours of private flight are needed, many of the companies and high-net-worth individuals to whom we provide products and services have the financial ability to purchase their own jets or operate their own corporate flight department should they elect to do so.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The private aviation industry is subject to competition.

Many of the markets in which we operate are competitive as a result of the expansion of existing private aircraft operators, expanding private aircraft ownership and alternatives such as luxury commercial airline service. We compete against a number of private aviation operators with different business models, and local and regional private charter operators. Factors that affect competition in our industry include price, reliability, safety, regulations, professional reputation, aircraft availability, equipment and quality, consistency and ease of service, willingness and ability to serve specific airports or regions, and investment requirements. There can be no assurance that our competitors will not be successful in capturing a share of our present or potential customer base. The materialization of any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The outbreak and global spread of COVID-19 has adversely impacted certain aspects of our business. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and similar public health threats that we may face in the future, could result in additional adverse effects on our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

The COVID-19 outbreak, along with the measures governments and private organizations worldwide have implemented in an attempt to contain the spread of this pandemic, resulted in an overall decline in demand for air travel, which decline was severe in late spring and early summer of 2020, and has continued to negatively impact demand for certain types of private air travel, including business travel, vacations and air travel associated with attendance at sporting and other live and in-person events. In addition, the initiatives and measures put in place to limit the spread of COVID-19 have added material costs to our business, including additional costs in connection with the implementation of our Wheels Up Safe Passage™ program of enhanced safety, cleanliness and health protocols and guidelines introduced in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. We anticipate that it may be necessary to continue to incur such costs, including supporting our pilots in receiving vaccinations, for the foreseeable future. In addition, while there has been a recovery in demand, driven in part by an influx of new flyers to the industry, certain types of travel that have historically been a material driver of flight revenue, including business, personal and family vacation and event-driven travel, have yet to return to pre-pandemic levels.

The spread of COVID-19 has also prevented us from offering members access to in-person “Wheels Down” experiential events, a key lifestyle component of our membership and a significant contributor to customer loyalty and retention. For example, we were forced to cancel all Wheels Down in-person events and experiences scheduled to occur from and after mid-March 2020, including our popular annual events held in Augusta, Georgia during the week of The Masters® golf tournament, our pop-up celebration in Miami, Florida during the week of Art Basel® and our Super Saturday Tailgate event prior to the Super Bowl®. We anticipate that we will be limited in our ability to provide such experiences for our members for the foreseeable future, which may impact our member retention, particularly with respect to our less frequent flyer members.

In response to the sharp decline in private air travel during late spring and early summer 2020, we availed ourselves of a government assistance grant in an aggregate amount of $76.4 million under the CARES Act Payroll Support Program administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) and implemented certain cost saving initiatives, including offering voluntary furloughs to our employees, implementing a mandatory reduction in all work schedules and delaying certain previously planned initiatives and internal investments. Such cost saving measures were largely discontinued in the fourth quarter of 2020, although certain general and administrative expenditures, such as travel and entertainment, and capital expenditures reductions related to our New York City headquarters’ office are expected to continue for the pendency of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain, there can be no assurance that these actions will be sufficient and that other similar measures may not be required during the pendency of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal, state, and local government authorities implemented directives, orders, and regulations intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and in response, we have modified our practices, policies, and procedures, as appropriate. For example, on January 12, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”) issued an order effective January 26, 2021 requiring that all passengers (2 years of age or older) traveling by air to the United States from a foreign country (i) obtain

TABLE OF CONTENTS

a COVID-19 test no more than three days before their flight departs and (ii) provide proof of a negative result (or documentation of having recovered from COVID-19) prior to boarding the flight. The CDC and the Transportation Security Administration (“U.S. TSA”) also issued orders effective February 1, 2021, mandating the wearing of face masks on flights, subject to certain limited exceptions. Such health requirements or standards, whether mandated by government agencies or voluntarily adopted by us, related to COVID-19 or otherwise intended to mitigate the spread of communicable diseases, may directly impact demand for air travel. In addition, COVID-19 and related restrictions may have a material and adverse impact on other aspects of our business, including enhanced risk of delays or defaults in payments by customers, delays and difficulties in completing maintenance work on certain aircraft, and delays or shortages in our supply chain.

The full extent of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our future operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, many of which are outside our control, including the severity, magnitude, duration and spread of COVID-19, including any recurrence of the pandemic, and related travel advisories, restrictions and future government action, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this time we are also not able to predict whether the COVID-19 pandemic will result in long-term changes to business practices and consumer behavior, with such changes including but not limited to a long-term reduction in travel as a result of increased usage of “virtual” and “teleconferencing” products or a general reluctance to travel by consumers.

In addition, an outbreak of another disease or similar public health threat, or fear of such an event, that affects travel demand, travel behavior or travel restrictions could adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results. Outbreaks of other diseases could also result in increased government restrictions and regulation, such as those actions described above or otherwise, which could adversely affect our operations.

We are subject to certain restrictions on our business as a result of our participation in governmental programs under the CARES Act.

We applied for government assistance under the Payroll Support Program maintained and administered by the Treasury as directed by the CARES Act and were awarded a total of $76.4 million to support ongoing operations, all of which has been received. In addition, Mountain Aviation had separately applied for assistance under the Payroll Support Program, and was awarded an aggregate of $2.4 million, all of which it received prior to our acquisition of such business in January 2021. Both awards are governed by the terms and conditions of the CARES Act and a separate payroll support agreement (“PSA”) with the Treasury. Neither we, nor Mountain Aviation, were required to issue equity or other form of security to the Treasury in connection with such awards.

As a recipient of such awards and pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act and the applicable PSAs, we are subject to certain restrictions and other requirements upon which the awards were conditioned, including a prohibition on us and our affiliates conducting any stock repurchase or paying any dividends through September 30, 2021, certain restrictions on executive and other employee compensation through March 24, 2022 and certain ongoing reporting obligations through March 24, 2022. The limits on executive and other compensation may negatively impact us and our ability to retain senior management and attract other key employees.

While we believe that we are fully compliant with all requirements of the CARES Act and the PSAs, including the requirement to use the awards only for payment of certain employment costs, if we were found to be not in compliance with such requirements, the Treasury has broad discretion to select potential remedies, including to require repayment of the awards. The imposition of any such remedy could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition.

Mountain Aviation also received a loan (the “PPP Loan”), dated as of April 14, 2020, from Zions Bancorporation N.A. dba Vectra Bank (“Vectra”) under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA’s”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP Loan is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act, which is subject to revisions and changes by the SBA and Congress. Given that Mountain Aviation received more than $2.0 million under its PPP Loan, we will be subject to an audit by the SBA. We believe that we satisfied all eligibility criteria for the PPP Loan, and that

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mountain Aviation’s receipt of the PPP Loan was consistent with the broad objectives of the PPP of the CARES Act. The certification regarding necessity described above did not at the time contain any objective criteria and continues to be subject to interpretation. If, despite our good-faith belief that Mountain Aviation satisfied all eligibility requirements for the PPP Loan, Mountain Aviation is later determined to have violated any of the laws or governmental regulations that apply to us in connection with the PPP Loan or it is otherwise determined that Mountain Aviation was ineligible to receive the PPP Loan, we could be subject to civil, criminal and administrative penalties or adverse publicity. Any such events could consume significant financial and management resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Delta may have the right to terminate its commercial agreements with us.

Our Commercial Cooperation Agreement (as amended) (the “CCA”) with Delta contemplates that we will work together with Delta each year to develop an annual joint marketing and communications plan that focuses on revenue and brand goals, influence/ambassador partnerships and co-branded event opportunities, and that Delta and we will provide certain benefits to the other’s customers and share certain data.

The CCA also contemplates that we will provide certain in-kind benefits to Delta, measured on an annual basis. Examples of such in-kind benefits include our members’ purchasing Delta products and services above a certain level and access for certain Delta customers to Wheels Down marketing activities, events and member experiences. We are required to use our commercially reasonable efforts to provide an unspecified amount of such benefits during 2021, and Delta is required to cooperate with such efforts. We have agreed with Delta that, by December 31, 2021, we will use reasonable best efforts to mutually agree upon minimum amounts of in-kind benefits that we are required to provide starting in 2022. Such minimum levels will be established taking into account the impact, if any, of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel demand and in-person gatherings and the pace of industry recovery therefrom, measured against minimum levels that Delta and we agreed to prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. If we are not able to provide the revised minimum amounts of in-kind benefits to Delta in any year starting in 2022, subject to any cure rights that we may agree with Delta, Delta will have the right to terminate the CCA and the other commercial agreements, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

The loss of key personnel upon whom we depend on to operate our business or the inability to attract additional qualified personnel could adversely affect our business.

We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to retain or attract highly qualified management, technical and other personnel, particularly our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kenny Dichter. We may not be successful in retaining key personnel or in attracting other highly qualified personnel. Any inability to retain or attract significant numbers of qualified management and other personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The supply of pilots to the airline industry is limited and may negatively affect our operations and financial condition. Increases in our labor costs, which constitute a substantial portion of our total operating costs, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our pilots are subject to stringent pilot qualification and crew member flight training standards (“FAA Qualification Standards”), which among other things require minimum flight time for pilots and mandate strict rules to minimize pilot fatigue. The existence of such requirements effectively limits the supply of qualified pilot candidates and increases pilot salaries and related labor costs. A shortage of pilots would require us to further increase our labor costs, which would result in a material reduction in our earnings. Such requirements also impact pilot scheduling, work hours and the number of pilots required to be employed for our operations.

In addition, our operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted if we are unable to train pilots in a timely manner. Due to an industry-wide shortage of qualified pilots, driven by the flight hours requirements under the FAA Qualification Standards and attrition resulting from the hiring needs of other industry participants, pilot training timelines have significantly increased and stressed the availability

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of flight simulators, instructors and related training equipment. As a result, the training of our pilots may not be accomplished in a cost-efficient manner or in a manner timely enough to support our operational needs.

Pilot attrition may negatively affect our operations and financial condition.

In recent years, we have experienced significant volatility in our attrition as a result of pilot wage and bonus increases at other industry participants, the growth of cargo, low-cost and ultra-low-cost airlines. In prior periods, these factors, at times, caused our pilot attrition rates to be higher than our ability to hire and retain replacement pilots. If our attrition rates are higher than our ability to hire and retain replacement pilots, our operations and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or increased labor costs and the unionization of our pilots, maintenance workers and inflight crewmembers could result in increased labor costs.

Our business is labor intensive and while our employees, particularly our pilots and our maintenance workers, are not currently represented by labor unions, we may, in the future, experience union organizing activities of our pilots, maintenance workers or other crewmembers. Such union organization activities could lead to work slowdowns or stoppages, which could result in loss of business. In addition, union activity could result in demands that may increase our operating expenses and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and competitive position. Any of the different crafts or classes of our crewmembers could unionize at any time, which would require us to negotiate in good faith with the crewmember group’s certified representative concerning a collective bargaining agreement. In addition, we may be subject to disruptions by unions protesting the non-union status of our other crewmembers. Any of these events would be disruptive to our operations and could harm our business.

The residual value of our owned aircraft may be less than estimated in our depreciation policies.

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $323.1 million of property and equipment and related assets, net of accumulated depreciation, of which $301.6 million relates to owned aircraft. In accounting for these long-lived assets, we make estimates about the expected useful lives of the assets, the expected residual values of certain of these assets, and the potential for impairment based on the fair value of the assets and the cash flows they generate. Factors indicating potential impairment include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market value of the long-lived assets, a significant change in the condition of the long lived assets and operating cash flow losses associated with the use of the long-lived assets. In the event the estimated residual value of any of our aircraft types is determined to be lower than the residual value assumptions used in our depreciation policies, the applicable aircraft type in our fleet may be impaired and may result in a material reduction in the book value of applicable aircraft types we operate or we may need to prospectively modify our depreciation policies. An impairment on any of the aircraft types we operate or an increased level of depreciation expense resulting from a change to our depreciation policies could result in a material negative impact to our financial results.

Significant reliance on Textron aircraft and spare parts poses risks to our business and prospects.

As part of our business strategy, we have historically flown primarily Textron aircraft. A majority of the aircraft we currently operate are the product of that single manufacturer. We have negotiated preferred rates with Textron for line maintenance services, certain component repair services and to purchase and exchange parts. Parts and services from Textron are subject to their product and workmanship warranties. If Textron fails to adequately fulfill its obligations towards us or experiences interruptions or disruptions in production or provision of services due to, for example, bankruptcy, natural disasters, labor strikes or disruption of its supply chain, we may experience a significant delay in the delivery of or fail to receive previously ordered aircraft and parts, which would adversely affect our revenue and results of operations and could jeopardize our ability to meet the demands of our program participants. Although we could choose to operate aircraft of other manufacturers or increase our reliance on third-party operators, such a change would involve substantial expense to us and could disrupt our business activities.

Significant reliance on Pratt and Whitney and Rolls Royce aircraft engines poses risks to our owned and leased aircraft.

As part of our business strategy, we have historically relied on Pratt and Whitney and Rolls Royce aircraft engines to power our owned and leased aircraft. If either Pratt and Whitney or Rolls Royce fail to adequately fulfill their obligations towards us or experience interruptions or disruptions in production or provision of services due to, for example, bankruptcy, natural disasters, labor strikes or disruption of its supply chain, we may experience a significant delay in the delivery of or fail to receive previously ordered aircraft engines and parts, which would adversely affect our revenue and profitability and could jeopardize our ability to meet the demands of our program participants.

We may incur substantial maintenance costs as part of our leased aircraft return obligations.

Our aircraft lease agreements may contain provisions that require us to return aircraft airframes and engines to the lessor in a specified condition or pay an amount to the lessor based on the actual return condition of the equipment. These lease return costs are recorded in the period in which they are incurred. We estimate the cost of maintenance lease return obligations and accrue such costs over the remaining lease term when the expense is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Any unexpected increase in maintenance return costs may negatively impact our financial position and results of operations.

We are exposed to operational disruptions due to maintenance.

Our fleet requires regular maintenance work, which may cause operational disruption. Our inability to perform timely maintenance and repairs can result in our aircraft being underutilized which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. On occasion, airframe manufacturers and/or regulatory authorities require mandatory or recommended modifications to be made across a particular fleet which may mean having to ground a particular type of aircraft. This may cause operational disruption to and impose significant costs on us. Furthermore, our operations in remote locations, where delivery of components and parts could take a significant period of time, could result in delays in our ability to maintain and repair our aircraft. Any such delays may pose a risk to our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, as our aircraft base increases, our maintenance costs could potentially increase.

Our transition to in-house maintenance, repair and overhaul activities could prove unsuccessful or impact key relationships.

We have recently acquired MRO facilities through our acquisitions of TMC, DPJ and Mountain Aviation, and our business strategy contemplates that certain of the MRO activities for which we have historically relied on third parties to perform would instead be handled at our facilities. We may be unsuccessful in such efforts, which could have an adverse effect on our future business and results of operations.

The successful execution of our MRO strategy could adversely affect our relationships with vendors historically providing MRO services to us, from whom we expect to continue to require maintenance and other services. In addition, performing such services in-house would internalize the risks and potential liability for the performance of such services. If maintenance is not performed properly this may lead to significant damage to aircraft, loss of life, negative publicity and legal claims against us.

Significant increases in fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fuel is essential to the operation of our aircraft and to our ability to carry out our transport services. Fuel costs are a key component of our operating expenses. A significant increase in fuel costs may negatively impact our revenue, margins, operating expenses and results of operations. Pursuant to our membership agreements, we are able to add a limited fuel surcharge to our guaranteed capped rates with specified prior notice, and to our members and customers without capped rate pricing directly by adjusting our pricing when needed. Given our contractual ability to pass on increased fuel costs, in whole or in part, to certain of our customers and mitigate the risk with others, we do not maintain hedging arrangements for the price of fuel.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

However, increased fuel surcharges may affect our revenue and retention if a prolonged period of high fuel costs occurs. To the extent there is a significant increase in fuel costs that affects the amount our customers choose to fly with us, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we face problems with any of our third-party service providers, our operations could be adversely affected.

Our reliance upon others to provide essential services on behalf of our operations may limit our ability to control the efficiency and timeliness of contract services. We have entered into agreements with OEMs and third-party contractors to provide various facilities and services required for our operations, including aircraft maintenance, ground facilities and IT services, and expect to enter into additional similar agreements in the future. In particular, we rely on OEMs, Textron and Hartzell Propeller, and third-party providers for procurement of replacement parts or to provide component exchange or repair services for our aircraft fleet. We also rely on Pratt & Whitney Canada and Rolls Royce to provide engine maintenance for their respective engine products. Our agreements with such OEMs, and other service providers, are subject to termination after notice. If our third-party service providers terminate their contracts with us, or do not provide timely or consistently high-quality service, we may not be able to replace them in a cost-efficient manner or in a manner timely enough to support our operational needs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our operations could be materially and adversely affected by the failure or inability of OEMs to provide sufficient parts or related maintenance and support services to us in a timely manner.

Some of our business is dependent on our third-party operators to provide flights for our customers. If such third-party operators do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

While we operate a significant portion of the flights for our customers, the transition to increased utilization of third-party operators is a key element of our go-forward, “asset right” fleet strategy. For the year ended December 31, 2020, approximately 25% of our flights were fulfilled by third-party aircraft operators on our behalf, a substantial majority of which were with our ten most frequently used partners. We face the risk that any of our third-party operators may not fulfill their contracts and deliver their services on a timely basis, or at all. The ability of our third-party operators to effectively satisfy our requirements could also be impacted by any such third-party operators’ financial difficulty or damage to their operations caused by fire, terrorist attack, natural disaster, pandemic, such as the current COVID-19 outbreak, or other events. The failure of any third-party operators to perform to our expectations could result in delayed or cancelled flights and harm the applicable portion of our business. Our reliance on third-party operators and our inability to fully control any operational difficulties with our third-party operators could have a material adverse effect on the portion of our business where we use third-party operators, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, due to our reliance on third parties to supplement our capabilities, we are subject to the risk of disruptions to their operations, which has in the past and may in the future result from many of the same risk factors disclosed in this “Risk Factors” section, such as the impact of adverse economic conditions and the inability of third parties to hire or retain skilled personnel, including pilots and mechanics. Several of these third-party operators provide significant capacity that we would be unable to replace in a short period of time should that operator fail to perform its obligations to us. Disruptions to capital markets, shortages of skilled personnel and adverse economic conditions in general, such as conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, have subjected certain of these third-party operators to significant financial and operational pressures, which have in the past and could result in future temporary or permanent cessation of their operations.

Although we do not believe that any of our significant third-party aircraft operators are currently experiencing workforce disruptions, we cannot predict the future actions of their workforce. Union strikes among airport workers or certain pilots of third-party aircraft operators may result in disruptions of our operations and thus could have a material adverse effect on some of our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any significant disruption to our operations as a result of problems with any of our third-party aircraft operators would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, we have entered into agreements with contractors to provide various facilities and services required for our operations. Because we rely on others to provide such services, our ability to control the efficiency and timeliness of such services is limited. Similar agreements may be entered into in any new markets we decide to serve. We are also at risk should one of these service providers cease operations, and there is no guarantee that we could replace these providers on a timely basis with comparably priced providers, or at all. Any material problems with the efficiency and timeliness of contract services, resulting from financial hardships or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, in the event potential competitors establish cooperative or strategic relationships with third-party aircraft operators in the markets we serve, offer to pay third-party aircraft operators more attractive rates or guarantee a higher volume of flights than we have historically offered, we may not have access to the necessary number of aircraft to achieve our planned growth. If our third-party aircraft operators are unable or unwilling to support our growth, or we are unable to add new operators, some of our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. As the private aviation market grows, we expect competition for third-party aircraft operators to increase. Further, we expect that as competition in the private aviation market grows, the use of exclusive contractual arrangements with third-party aircraft operators, sometimes requiring volume guarantees, may increase. This may require us to purchase or lease additional aircraft that may not be available or require us to incur significant capital or operating expenditures.

Our insurance may become too difficult or expensive to obtain. If we are unable to maintain sufficient insurance coverage, it may materially and adversely impact our results of operations and financial position.

Hazards are inherent in the aviation industry and may result in loss of life and property, potentially exposing us to substantial liability claims arising from the operation of aircraft. We carry insurance for aviation hull, aviation liability, premises, hangarkeepers, product, war risk, general liability, workers compensation, directors and officers, cyber and other insurance customary in the industry in which we operate. Insurance underwriters are required by various federal and state regulations to maintain minimum levels of reserves for known and expected claims. However, there can be no assurance that underwriters have established adequate reserves to fund existing and future claims. The number of accidents, as well as the number of insured losses within the aviation and aerospace industries, and the impact of general economic conditions on underwriters may result in increases in premiums above the rate of inflation. To the extent that our existing insurance carriers are unable or unwilling to provide us with sufficient insurance coverage, and if insurance coverage is not available from another source (for example, a government entity), our insurance costs may increase and may result in our being in breach of regulatory requirements or contractual arrangements requiring that specific insurance be maintained, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, incidents related to aircraft operation with respect to the portion of our business where we use third-party operators are covered by our third-party operators’ insurance. If our third-party aircraft operators’ insurance costs increase, such operators are likely to pass the increased costs to us, which could cause us to increase the prices paid by our customers. Such cost increases could adversely affect demand for our products and services and harm our business.

Our self-insurance programs may expose us to significant and unexpected costs and losses.

As of January 1, 2021, we maintain employee health insurance coverage on a self-insured basis. We do maintain stop loss coverage which sets a limit on our liability for both individual and aggregate claim costs. Prior to January 1, 2021, we maintained such coverage on a fully insured basis. We will record a liability for our estimated cost of claims incurred and unpaid as of each future balance sheet date. Our estimated liability will be recorded on an undiscounted basis and include a number of significant assumptions and factors, including historical trends, expected costs per claim, actuarial assumptions, and current economic conditions. Our history of claims activity for all lines of coverage has been and will be closely monitored, and liabilities will be adjusted as warranted based on changing circumstances. It is possible, however, that our actual liabilities may exceed our estimates of loss. We may also experience an unexpectedly large number of claims that result in costs or liabilities in excess of our projections, and therefore we may be required to record additional expenses. For these and other reasons, our self-insurance reserves could prove to be inadequate,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

resulting in liabilities in excess of our available insurance and self-insurance. If a successful claim is made against us and is not covered by our insurance or exceeds our policy limits, our business may be negatively and materially impacted.

If our efforts to continue to build our strong brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, we may not be able to attract or retain members, and our operating results may be adversely affected.

We must continue to build and maintain strong brand identity for our products and services, which have expanded over time. We believe that strong brand identity will continue to be important in attracting members. If our efforts to promote and maintain our brand are not successful, our operating results and our ability to attract members and other customers may be adversely affected. From time to time, our members and other customers may express dissatisfaction with our products and service offerings, in part due to factors that could be outside of our control, such as the timing and availability of aircraft and service interruptions driven by prevailing political, regulatory, or natural conditions. To the extent dissatisfaction with our products and services is widespread or not adequately addressed, our brand may be adversely impacted and our ability to attract and retain members may be adversely affected. With respect to our planned expansion into additional markets, we will also need to establish our brand and to the extent we are not successful, our business in new markets would be adversely impacted.

Any failure to offer high-quality customer support may harm our relationships with our customers and could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Through our marketing, advertising, and communications with our customers, we set the tone for our brand as aspirational but also within reach. We strive to create high levels of customer satisfaction through the experience provided by our team and representatives. The ease and reliability of our offerings, including our ability to provide high-quality customer support, helps us attract and retain customers. Customers depend on our Account Managers and Member Services team to resolve any issues relating to our products and services, such as scheduling changes and other updates to trip details and assistance with certain billing matters. Our ability to provide effective and timely support is largely dependent on our ability to attract and retain skilled employees who can support our customers and are sufficiently knowledgeable about our product and services. As we continue to grow our business and improve our platform, we will face challenges related to providing quality support at an increased scale. Any failure to provide efficient customer support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality support, could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property interests or are found to be infringing on intellectual property interests of others, we may incur significant expense and our business may be adversely affected.

Our intellectual property includes our trademarks, domain names, website, mobile and web applications, software (including our proprietary algorithms and data analytics engines), copyrights, trade secrets, and inventions (whether or not patentable). We believe that our intellectual property plays an important role in protecting our brand and the competitiveness of our business. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our brand and reputation may be adversely affected and our ability to compete effectively may be impaired.

We protect our intellectual property through a combination of trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, contracts, and policies. Our efforts may not be sufficient or effective. For example, we do not have any issued patents and have not registered any of our copyrights. Moreover, we have registered our trademarks and domain names that we currently use in certain countries, but we may not be able to register them in other territories in which we may operate now or in the future. Further, we may be unable to prevent competitors from acquiring trademarks or domain names that are similar to or diminish the value of our intellectual property. In addition, it may be possible for other parties to copy or reverse engineer our applications or other technology offerings. Moreover, our proprietary algorithms, data analytics engines, or other software or trade secrets may be compromised by third parties or our employees, which could cause us to lose any competitive advantage we may have from them.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, our business is subject to the risk of third parties infringing our intellectual property. We may not always be successful in securing protection for, or identifying or stopping infringements of, our intellectual property and we may need to resort to litigation in the future to enforce our rights in this regard. Any such litigation could result in significant costs and a diversion of resources. Further, such enforcement efforts may result in a ruling that our intellectual property rights are unenforceable.

Moreover, companies in the aviation and technology industries are frequently subject to litigation based on allegations of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violations. As we expand and raise our profile, the likelihood of intellectual property claims being asserted against us grows. Further, we may acquire or introduce new technology offerings, which may increase our exposure to patent and other intellectual property claims. Any intellectual property claims asserted against us, whether or not having any merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to settle or litigate. If we are unsuccessful in defending such a claim, we may be required to pay substantial damages or could be subject to an injunction or agree to a settlement that may prevent us from using our intellectual property or making our offerings available to customers. Some intellectual property claims may require us to seek a license to continue our operations, and those licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or may significantly increase our operating expenses. If we are unable to procure a license, we may be required to develop non-infringing technological alternatives, which could require significant time and expense. Any of these events could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operations.

A delay or failure to identify and devise, invest in and implement certain important technology, business, and other initiatives could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In order to operate our business, achieve our goals, and remain competitive, we continuously seek to identify and devise, invest in, implement and pursue technology, business and other important initiatives, such as those relating to aircraft fleet structuring, business processes, information technology, initiatives seeking to ensure high quality service experience, and others.

Our business and the aircraft we operate are characterized by changing technology, introductions and enhancements of models of aircraft and services and shifting customer demands, including technology preferences. Our future growth and financial performance will depend in part upon our ability to develop, market and integrate new services and to accommodate the latest technological advances and customer preferences. In addition, the introduction of new technologies or services that compete with our product and services could result in our revenues decreasing over time. If we are unable to upgrade our operations or fleet with the latest technological advances in a timely manner, or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

A failure in our technology or breaches of the security of our information technology infrastructure may adversely affect our business and financial condition and disrupt our customers’ businesses.

The performance and reliability of the technology that we and our third-party operators use is critical to our ability to compete effectively. A significant internal technological error or failure or large-scale external interruption in the technological infrastructures on which we and our third-party operators depend, such as power, telecommunications or the Internet, may disrupt our internal network. Any substantial, sustained or repeated failure of the technology that we or our third-party operators use could impact our ability to conduct our business, lower the utilization of our aircraft, and result in increased costs. Our and our third-party operators’ technological systems and related data may be vulnerable to a variety of sources of interruption due to events beyond our control, including natural disasters, terrorist attacks, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hackers and other security issues.

In addition, as a part of our ordinary business operations, we collect and store sensitive data, including personally identifiable information of our employees and customers. Our information systems are subject to an increasing threat of continually evolving cybersecurity risks, as evidenced by a recent incident in which a cloud-based data storage system we maintain for customers was accessed by an intruder. On December 6, 2020, an unauthorized actor located outside of the United States gained access to certain files in the cloud-based storage system where certain of our flight management system customers (aircraft owners/operators) upload documents related to flights. Some of those documents contained personally identifiable information regarding flight passengers. We responded immediately to the incident by implementing our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

incident response plan, remediating the vulnerability that enabled the data security breach, and engaging both internal resources as well as outside experts for ongoing mitigation of any adverse impact. Nevertheless, it is possible that individuals whose personal information was included in the documents involved could be subject to identity theft if their information is misused, which could trigger complaints and potential liability, including through class action litigation.

Methods used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, and may be difficult to anticipate or to detect for long periods of time. We may not be able to prevent future data security breaches or unauthorized uses of data. A compromise of the technology systems we use resulting in the loss, disclosure, misappropriation of, or access to, employees’ or business partners’ information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties under laws protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information, disruption to our operations and damage to our reputation, any or all of which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We rely on third-party Internet, mobile, and other products and services to deliver our mobile and web applications and flight management system offerings to our customers, and any disruption of, or interference with, our use of those services could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and customers.

Our platform’s continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to our success. That platform is dependent on the performance and reliability of Internet, mobile, and other infrastructure services that are not under our control. For example, we currently host our platform, including our mobile and web-based applications and the Avianis flight management system, and support our operations using a third-party provider of cloud infrastructure services. While we have engaged reputable vendors to provide these products or services, we do not have control over the operations of the facilities or systems used by our third-party providers. These facilities and systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, cybersecurity attacks, human error, terrorist attacks, power outages, pandemics, and similar events or acts of misconduct. In addition, any changes in one of our third-party service provider’s service levels may adversely affect our ability to meet the requirements of our customers. While we believe we have implemented reasonable backup and disaster recovery plans, we have experienced, and expect that in the future we will experience, interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions, capacity constraints, or external factors beyond our control. Sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our offerings and could disrupt our customers’ businesses. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times, as we expand our products and service offerings. Any negative publicity or user dissatisfaction arising from these disruptions could harm our reputation and brand, may adversely affect the usage of our offerings, and could harm our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We rely on third parties maintaining open marketplaces to distribute our mobile and web applications and to provide the software we use in certain of our products and offerings, including the provision of our flight management system. If such third parties interfere with the distribution of our products or offerings, with our use of such software, or with the interoperability of our platform with such software, our business would be adversely affected.

Our platform’s mobile applications rely on third parties maintaining open marketplaces, including the Apple App Store and Google Play, which make applications available for download. We cannot be assured that the marketplaces through which we distribute our applications will maintain their current structures or that such marketplaces will not charge us fees to list our applications for download.

We rely upon certain third-party software and integrations with certain third-party applications, including Salesforce.com, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle and others, to provide our platform and products and service offerings. As our offerings expand and evolve, we may use additional third-party software or have an increasing number of integrations with other third-party applications, software, products and services. Third-party applications, software, products and services are constantly evolving, and we may not be able to maintain or modify our platform, including our mobile and web-based applications and the Avianis flight management system, to ensure its compatibility with third-party offerings following development changes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Moreover, some of our competitors or technology partners may take actions which disrupt the interoperability of our offerings with their own products or services, or exert strong business influence on our ability to, and the terms on which we, operate our platform and provide our products and service offerings to customers. In addition, if any of our third-party providers cease to provide access to the third-party software that we use, do not provide access to such software on terms that we believe to be attractive or reasonable, do not provide us with the most current version of such software, modify their products, standards or terms of use in a manner that degrades the functionality or performance of our platform or is otherwise unsatisfactory to us or gives preferential treatment to competitive products or services, we may be required to seek comparable software from other sources, which may be more expensive or inferior, or may not be available at all. Any of these events could adversely affect business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because our software could be used to collect and store personal information, privacy concerns in the territories in which we operate could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our software.

The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Many government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information and breach notification procedures. We are also required to comply with laws, rules and regulations relating to data security. Interpretation of these laws, rules and regulations and their application to our software and professional services in applicable jurisdictions is ongoing and cannot be fully determined at this time.

In the United States, these include rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) and other state and federal laws relating to privacy and data security. By way of example, the CCPA requires covered businesses to provide new disclosures to California residents, provide them new ways to opt-out of certain disclosures of personal information, and allows for a new cause of action for data breaches. It includes a framework that includes potential statutory damages and private rights of action. There is some uncertainty as to how the CCPA, and similar privacy laws emerging in other states, could impact our business as it depends on how such laws will be interpreted. As we expand our operations, compliance with privacy laws may increase our operating costs.

Our obligations in connection with our indebtedness and other contractual obligations could impair our liquidity and thereby harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $211.1 million in total long-term debt outstanding (including current maturities of $62.7 million). The majority of our long-term debt was incurred in connection with the acquisition of aircraft, and the remainder incurred in connection with the acquisition of Gama during early 2020. The Closing will require us to repay the entire outstanding principal of the promissory notes issued in connection with the Gama acquisition, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, at that date. During the year ended December 31, 2020, our principal payments of long-term debt totaled $63.5 million.

We also have significant long-term lease obligations primarily relating to our aircraft fleet. On December 31, 2020, we had 45 aircraft under operating leases, with an average remaining lease term of approximately 2.8 years. As of December 31, 2020, future minimum lease payments due under all long-term operating leases were approximately $102.4 million.

Our existing indebtedness, non-investment grade credit ratings and the availability of our assets as collateral for future loans or other indebtedness, which available collateral would be reduced under other future liquidity-raising transactions, may make it difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are required to meet our liquidity needs on acceptable terms, or at all.

Although our cash flows from operations and our available capital, including the proceeds from financing transactions, have been sufficient to meet our obligations and commitments to date, our liquidity has been, and may in the future be, negatively affected by the risk factors discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus. If our liquidity is materially diminished, our cash flow available to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and business development efforts may be materially and adversely affected.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We cannot be assured that our operations will generate sufficient cash flow to make any required payments, or that we will be able to obtain financing to make capital expenditures that we believe are necessary to fulfill our strategic directives. Our ability to pay our contractual obligations will depend on our operating performance, cash flow and our ability to secure adequate financing, which will in turn depend on, among other things, the success of our current business strategy, U.S. and global economic conditions, the availability and cost of financing, as well as general economic and political conditions and other factors that are, to some extent, beyond our control. The amount of our fixed obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The degree to which we are leveraged could have important consequences to holders of our securities, including the following:

•

we must dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on applicable indebtedness, which, in turn, reduces funds available for operations and capital expenditures;

•

our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the markets in which we compete may be limited;

•

we may be at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors with less indebtedness;

•

we are rendered more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•

we are exposed to increased interest rate risk given that a portion of our indebtedness obligations are at variable interest rates; and

•

our credit ratings may be reduced and our debt and equity securities may significantly decrease in market value.

Our ability to obtain financing or access capital markets may be limited.

There are a number of factors that may limit our ability to raise financing or access capital markets in the future, including our existing debt and future contractual obligations, our liquidity and credit status, our operating cash flows, the market conditions in the aviation industry, U.S. and global economic conditions, the general state of the capital markets and the financial position of the major providers of aircraft and other aviation industry financing. We also may not, without the consent of Delta, issue any equity or equity-linked securities to certain domestic commercial air carriers. See the section entitled “BCA Proposal —Related Agreements — Delta Investor Rights Letter” for additional information. We cannot assure you that we will be able to source external financing for our capital needs, and if we are unable to source financing on acceptable terms, or unable to source financing at all, our business could be materially adversely affected. To the extent we finance our activities with additional debt, we may become subject to financial and other covenants that may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategy or otherwise constrain our growth and operations.

We face a concentration of credit risk.

We maintain our cash and cash equivalent balances at financial or other intermediary institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage of $250,000 per depositor, and, as a result, we face a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. As of December 31, 2020, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalent balances held at financial institutions exceeded FDIC insured limits. Any event that would cause a material portion of our cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions to be uninsured by the FDIC could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Aviation businesses are often affected by factors beyond their control including: air traffic congestion at airports; airport slot restrictions; air traffic control inefficiencies; natural disasters; adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes or blizzards; increased and changing security measures; changing regulatory and governmental requirements; new or changing travel-related taxes; or the outbreak of disease; any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Like other aviation companies, our business is affected by factors beyond our control, including air traffic congestion at airports, airport slot restrictions, air traffic control inefficiencies, natural disasters,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

adverse weather conditions, increased and changing security measures, changing regulatory and governmental requirements, new or changing travel-related taxes, or the outbreak of disease. Factors that cause flight delays frustrate passengers and increase operating costs and decrease revenues, which in turn could adversely affect profitability. In the United States, the federal government singularly controls all U.S. airspace, and aviation operators are completely dependent on the FAA to operate that airspace in a safe, efficient and affordable manner. The future expansion of our business into international markets would result in a greater degree of interaction with the regulatory authorities of the foreign countries in which we may operate. The 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 aviation operators to fly inefficient, indirect routes resulting in delays and increased operational cost. In addition, there are currently proposals before Congress that could potentially lead to the privatization of the United States’ air traffic control system, which could adversely affect our business. Further, implementation of the Next Generation Air Transport System by the FAA would result in changes to aircraft routings and flight paths that could lead to increased noise complaints and lawsuits, resulting in increased costs.

Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, winter snowstorms or earthquakes, can cause flight cancellations or significant delays. Cancellations or delays due to adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, air traffic control problems or inefficiencies, breaches in security or other factors may affect us to a greater degree than our competitors who may be able to recover more quickly from these events, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition to a greater degree than other air carriers. Any general reduction in passenger traffic could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business is primarily focused on certain targeted geographic regions making us vulnerable to risks associated with having geographically concentrated operations.

Our customer base is primarily concentrated in certain geographic regions of the United States, including the northeast, southeast, southwestern and western regions. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations are susceptible to regional economic downturns and other regional factors, including state regulations and budget constraints and severe weather conditions, catastrophic events or other disruptions. As we seek to expand in our existing markets, opportunities for growth within these regions will become more limited and the geographic concentration of our business may increase.

The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, and failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain and retain customers.

The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, including catastrophic disasters, crashes, mechanical failures and collisions, which may result in loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property and equipment. We may experience accidents in the future. These risks could endanger the safety of our customers, our personnel, third parties, equipment, cargo and other property (both ours and that of third parties), as well as the environment. If any of these events were to occur, we could experience loss of revenue, termination of customer contracts, higher insurance rates, litigation, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions (including potential grounding of our fleet and suspension or revocation of our operating authorities) and damage to our reputation and customer relationships. In addition, to the extent an accident occurs with an aircraft we operate or charter, we could be held liable for resulting damages, which may involve claims from injured passengers and survivors of deceased passengers. There can be no assurance that the amount of our insurance coverage available in the event of such losses would be adequate to cover such losses, or that we would not be forced to bear substantial losses from such events, regardless of our insurance cover. Moreover, any aircraft accident or incident, even if fully insured, and whether involving us or other private aircraft operators, could create a public perception that we are less safe or reliable than other private aircraft operators, which could cause our customers to lose confidence in us and switch to other private aircraft operators or other means of transportation. In addition, any aircraft accident or incident, whether involving us or other private aircraft operators, could also affect the public’s view of industry safety, which may reduce the amount of trust by our customers.

We incur considerable costs to maintain the quality of (i) our safety program, (ii) our training programs and (iii) our fleet of aircraft. We cannot guarantee that these costs will not increase. Likewise, we cannot

TABLE OF CONTENTS

guarantee that our efforts will provide an adequate level of safety or an acceptable safety record. If we are unable to maintain an acceptable safety record, we may not be able to retain existing customers or attract new customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements related to the maintenance of our aircraft and associated operations may result in enforcement actions, including revocation or suspension of our operating authorities in the United States and potentially other countries.

We could suffer losses and adverse publicity stemming from any accident involving our aircraft models operated by third parties.

Certain aircraft models that we operate have experienced accidents while operated by third parties. If other operators experience accidents with aircraft models that we operate, obligating us to take such aircraft out of service until the cause of the accident is determined and rectified, we might lose revenues and might lose customers. It is also possible that the FAA or other regulatory body in another country could ground the aircraft and restrict it from flying. In addition, safety issues experienced by a particular model of aircraft could result in customers refusing to use that particular aircraft model or a regulatory body grounding that particular aircraft model. The value of the aircraft model might also be permanently reduced in the secondary market if the model were to be considered less desirable for future service. Such accidents or safety issues related to aircraft models that we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Terrorist activities or warnings have dramatically impacted the aviation industry and will likely continue to do so.

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and their aftermath have negatively impacted the aviation business in general. If additional terrorist attacks are launched against the aviation industry, there will be lasting consequences of the attacks, which may include loss of life, property damage, increased security and insurance costs, increased concerns about future terrorist attacks, increased government regulation and airport delays due to heightened security. We cannot provide any assurance that these events will not harm the aviation industry generally or our operations or financial condition in particular.

We are subject to significant governmental regulation.

All interstate air carriers, including us, are subject to regulation by the Department of Transportation (the “DOT”), the FAA and other governmental agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), the U.S. TSA, Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) and others, as described in the section entitled “Information About WUP — Government Regulation.” We cannot predict whether we will be able to comply with all present and future laws, rules, regulations and certification requirements or that the cost of continued compliance will not have a material adverse effect on our operations. We incur substantial costs in maintaining our current certifications and otherwise complying with the laws, rules and regulations to which we are subject. A decision by the FAA to ground, or require time consuming inspections of or maintenance on, all or any of our aircraft for any reason may have a material adverse effect on our operations.

In addition, as described in the section entitled “ Risk Factors — Risk Relating to the Consummattion of the Domestication — Delaware law and Wheels Up’s Proposed to Organizational Documents contain certain provisions,including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable,” we are also subject to restrictions imposed by federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines and oversight by the DOT in maintaining our status as a U.S. Citizen, as that term is defined herein. A failure to comply with or changes to these restrictions may materially adversely affect our business.

Revocation of licenses and permits.

Our business also requires a variety of national, state and local permits and licenses. Our business depends on the maintenance of such permits and licenses, which may be prohibited or restricted. Our business is subject to regulations and permit requirements and may be adversely affected if we are unable to comply with existing regulations or requirements or if changes in applicable regulations or requirements occur.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are subject to various environmental and noise laws and regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to increasingly stringent federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment and noise, including those relating to emissions to the air, discharges (including storm water discharges) to surface and subsurface waters, safe drinking water and the use, management, disposal and release of, and exposure to, hazardous substances, oils and waste materials. We are or may be subject to new or proposed laws and regulations that may have a direct effect (or indirect effect through our third-party specialists or airport facilities at which we operate) on our operations. In addition, U.S. airport authorities are exploring ways to limit de-icing fluid discharges. Any such existing, future, new or potential laws and regulations could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Similarly, we are 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.

The issuance of operating restrictions applicable to one of the fleet types we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our owned and leased fleet is comprised of a limited number of aircraft types, including the King Air 350i, Hawker 400XP, Citation Excel/XLS and Citation X aircraft. The issuance of FAA or manufacturer directives restricting or prohibiting the use of any one or more of the aircraft types we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

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

From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including employment, commercial, product liability, class action, whistleblower and other litigation and claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability and/or require us to change our business practices. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating to the Business Combination and Aspirational

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” refer to Aspirational prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Aspirational’s public shareholders vote.

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and each director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by that certain Support Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2021 by and among the Sponsor, Aspirational, each director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares and WUP, as amended and modified from time to time, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B (the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Sponsor Support Agreement”). As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Neither the Aspirational board of directors nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.

Neither the Aspirational board of directors nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion that the price that we are paying for WUP is fair to us from a financial point of view. Neither the Aspirational board of directors nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in connection with the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the Aspirational board of directors and management conducted due diligence on WUP. The Aspirational board of directors reviewed comparisons of selected financial data of WUP with its peers in the industry and the financial terms set forth in the Merger Agreement and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of Aspirational’s shareholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Aspirational board of directors and management in valuing WUP, and the Aspirational board of directors and management may not have properly valued such businesses. The lack of a third-party valuation may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the Business Combination.

We may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we determined it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest.

Our public shareholders are protected from a material adverse event of WUP arising between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing primarily by (i) the right to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account established at the consummation of Aspirational’s initial public offering at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and maintained by Continental, acting as trustee (the “trust account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting and (ii) the closing condition that there be no material adverse effect on WUP.

However, if we do not obtain shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting, WUP can continually obligate us to hold additional extraordinary general meetings to vote on the Condition Precedent Proposals until the earlier of such shareholder approval being obtained and three business days prior to the Agreement End Date. We are also restricted from seeking, soliciting, negotiating or consummating any alternative business combination while the Merger Agreement is still in effect.

Since the Sponsor’s and Aspirational’s directors and executive officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with WUP is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.

When you consider the recommendation of Aspirational’s board of directors in favor of approval of the BCA Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of Aspirational shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

each case to its obligations under the Cayman Islands Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares collectively owned by the Sponsor and three members of Aspirational’s board of directors (Leo Austin, Neil Jacobs and Frank Newman) would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, Aspirational would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account in respect of any Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and Aspirational Class B ordinary shares held by it or them, as applicable, if Aspirational fails to complete a business combination within the required period. Additionally, in such event, the 4,333,333 private placement warrants purchased by the Sponsor simultaneously with the consummation of Aspirational’s initial public offering and the additional 196,617 private placement warrants purchased by the Sponsor on October 2, 2020 in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, which were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $6.8 million, will also expire worthless. Certain of Aspirational’s directors and executive officers also have a direct or indirect economic interest in such private placement warrants and in the 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor. The 5,993,658 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock into which the 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares collectively held by the Sponsor and Messrs. Austin, Jacobs and Newman will automatically convert in connection with the Mergers (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $62,873,472 based upon the closing price of $10.49 per public share on the NYSE on March 12, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. However, given that such shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described above, Aspirational believes such shares have less value. The 4,529,950 Wheels Up warrants into which the 4,529,950 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Mergers (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $7,927,413 based upon the closing price of $1.75 per public warrant on the NYSE on March 12, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Sponsor (including its representatives and affiliates) and Aspirational’s directors and officers, are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to Aspirational. For example, Mr. Thakran, Mr. Bedingham and Ms. Myers, each of whom serves as an officer and/or director of Aspirational and/or may be considered an affiliate of the Sponsor, as applicable, have recently incorporated ASPL II, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination. Mr. Thakran is the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of ASPL II, Mr. Bedingham is the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of ASPL II and Ms. Myers is the Co-President of ASPL II, and each owes fiduciary duties to ASPL II under Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and officers are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to Aspirational completing its initial business combination. Moreover, certain of Aspirational’s directors and officers have time and attention requirements for investment funds of which affiliates of the Sponsor are the investment managers. Aspirational’s directors and officers also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to Aspirational, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties, including ASPL II. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in Aspirational’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to Aspirational, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands Companies Act. Aspirational’s Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that Aspirational renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer of Aspirational unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Aspirational and it is an opportunity that Aspirational is able to complete on a reasonable basis.

Parties related to our Sponsor and certain of our officers and directors have advanced funds to us for working capital purposes, including $100,000 as of March 8, 2021. These outstanding advances have been documented in the Promissory Note, dated as of March 8, 2021, issued by Aspirational to the Sponsor, pursuant to which Aspirational borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 from the Sponsor. The Promissory Note will bear interest at a rate equal to 2.75% per annum and is unsecured and due and payable in full on the earlier of September 25, 2022 and the date Aspirational consummates its initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the trust account to repay such advances and any other working capital advances made to us, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay such advances and any other working capital advances made to us, and such related party may not be able to recover the value it has loaned us and any other working capital advances it may make.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor, Aspirational’s independent directors will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock and warrants held by such parties following the consummation of the Business Combination.

•

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Aspirational’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Aspirational’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsor as well as Aspirational’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting WUP as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with WUP and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of Aspirational’s board of directors to vote for the proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

The exercise of Aspirational’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Aspirational’s shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require Aspirational to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by WUP or to waive rights that Aspirational is entitled to under the Merger Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of WUP’s businesses or a request by WUP to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Aspirational’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for Aspirational and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Aspirational does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Aspirational’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the BCA Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, Aspirational will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit Aspirational’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the BCA Proposal.

We and WUP will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

We and WUP have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. We and WUP may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement (including the Business Combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid out of the proceeds of the Business Combination or by Wheels Up following the closing of the Business Combination.

The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt WUP’s relationships with its members, business partners and others.

Whether or not the Business Combination and related transactions are ultimately consummated, as a result of uncertainty related to the proposed transactions, risks relating to the impact of the announcement of the Business Combination on WUP’s business include the following:

•

its employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect WUP’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and other employees; and

•

members, business partners and other parties with which WUP maintains business relationships may experience uncertainty about its future and seek alternative relationships with third parties, seek to alter their business relationships with WUP or fail to renew or extend an existing relationship with WUP.

If either of the aforementioned risks were to materialize, they could lead to significant costs which may impact WUP’s results of operations and cash available to fund its businesses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Subsequent to consummation of the Business Combination, we may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

We cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to WUP has identified all material issues or risks associated with WUP, its business or the industry in which it competes. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that factors outside of WUP’s and our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be exposed to liabilities and incur additional costs and expenses and we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about our securities or WUP. Additionally, we have no indemnification rights against WUP equityholders under the Merger Agreement and all of the purchase price consideration will be delivered at the Closing.

Accordingly, any shareholders or warrant holders of Aspirational who choose to remain Wheels Up stockholders or warrant holders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares and warrants. Such shareholders or warrant holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our directors or officers of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the registration statement or proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

The historical financial results of WUP and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what Wheels Up’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The historical financial results of WUP included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows Wheels Up would have achieved as a combined company during the periods presented or those Wheels Up will achieve in the future. This is primarily the result of the following factors: (i) Wheels Up will incur additional ongoing costs as a result of the Business Combination, including costs related to public company reporting, investor relations and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and (ii) Wheels Up’s capital structure will be different from that reflected in WUP’s historical financial statements. Wheels Up’s financial condition and future results of operations could be materially different from amounts reflected in its historical financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare Wheels Up’s future results to historical results or to evaluate its relative performance or trends in its business.

Similarly, the unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, Aspirational being treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes in the Business Combination, the total debt obligations and the cash and cash equivalents of WUP on the date on which the Closing actually occurs (the “Closing Date”) and the number of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of Wheels Up’s future operating or financial performance and Wheels Up’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from Wheels Up’s pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

We have a specified maximum redemption threshold. This redemption threshold may make it more difficult for us to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Merger Agreement provides that WUP’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, the amount of cash available in the trust account into which substantially all of the proceeds of our initial public offering and private placements of our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

warrants have been deposited for the benefit of Aspirational, certain of our public shareholders and the underwriters of our initial public offering, after deducting the amount required to satisfy our obligations to our shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their Aspirational Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (but prior to payment of (i) any deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and (ii) any transaction expenses of Aspirational or its affiliates) (the “Trust Amount”) is at least equal to $120 million (the “Minimum Remaining Trust Amount”) (such condition, the “Minimum Trust Condition”).

If the Trust Amount is equal to or greater than the Minimum Remaining Trust Amount, then the Minimum Trust Condition will be deemed to have been satisfied. This condition is for the sole benefit of WUP. There is also a mutual condition that the PIPE Investment Amount be at least $360 million. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will Aspirational redeem public shares in an amount that would cause Wheels Up’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

There can be no assurance that WUP could and would waive the Minimum Trust Condition. Furthermore, as provided in the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If WUP waives the Minimum Trust Condition, the related additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of our public shareholders may make us unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize the capital structure of Wheels Up after consummation of the Business Combination, and to execute our strategies and desired operational plans, including potential acquisitions and other cash-intensive strategic initiatives.

The Sponsor may elect to purchase shares or warrants from public shareholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our securities.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or Aspirational’s securities, the Sponsor, WUP or their respective directors, officers, advisors or affiliates may purchase public shares or warrants from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares or warrants from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or warrants or vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of Aspirational’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, WUP or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (i) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the BCA Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (ii) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals, (iii) satisfaction of the Minimum Trust Condition, (iv) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (v) Aspirational’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001. The purpose of such purchases of public warrants would be to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ordinary shares (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares or warrants at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares or warrants by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

We are not registering the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time, and such registration may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise warrants, thus precluding such investor from being able to exercise its warrants and causing such warrants to expire worthless.

We are not registering the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time. However, under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we have agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance of such shares, and we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of our initial business combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so if, for example, any facts or events arise which represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement or prospectus, the financial statements contained or incorporated by reference therein are not current, complete or correct or the SEC issues a stop order. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the above requirements, we will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, in which case, the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that you will receive upon cashless exercise will be based on a formula subject to a maximum amount of shares equal to 0.361 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment). However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if the Wheels Up Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant, or issue securities or other compensation in exchange for the warrants in the event that we are unable to register or qualify the shares underlying the warrants under applicable state securities laws and no exemption is available. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In such event, holders who acquired their warrants as part of a purchase of units will have paid the full unit purchase price solely for the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock included in the units. There may be a circumstance where an exemption from registration exists for holders of our private placement warrants to exercise their warrants while a corresponding exemption does not exist for holders of the public warrants. In such an instance, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees (which may include our directors and executive officers) would be able to exercise their warrants and sell the ordinary shares underlying their warrants while holders of our public warrants would not be able to exercise their warrants and sell the underlying ordinary shares. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our

redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the warrants as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise their warrants.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per unit in our initial public offering).

Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver only if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we have not completed our business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per public share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations, and therefore, no funds are currently set aside to cover any such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our directors or officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, Aspirational files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing it and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable insolvency law and may be included in our liquidation estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any liquidation claims deplete the trust account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it were proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover part of or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

The public shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of Wheels Up Class A common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment and due to future issuances pursuant to the 2021 Plan, as part of the Earnout Shares, due to the cash exercise WUP Options and due to the exchange of any WUP Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a level above the intrinsic value of the profits interests immediately after Closing. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of Wheels Up.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Wheels Up Class A common stock at a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, (C) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on the basis of a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00 and (D) the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which, in the case of all shares described in clauses (A)-(D) hereof, in the aggregate equal 188,500,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) Wheels Up issues 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment. Such percentages exclude the possible future issuance of any Wheels Up Class A common stock as earnout shares and in connection with the exercise of any Wheels Up warrants. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, including if Wheels Up Options are cash exercised, or if due to appreciation of Wheels Up Class A common stock following the Business Combination, WUP Profits Interests become exchangeable for a greater amount of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, the percentage ownership retained by WUP’s existing shareholders in the combined company will be different. Assuming that all Wheels Up Options are cash exercised and assuming that all WUP Profits Interests were exchanged for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock without regard to any hurdle amounts, an additional 30,496,210 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock could be issued. Certain WUP equityholders are also PIPE Investors.

In addition, WUP employees and consultants hold, and after Business Combination, are expected to be granted, equity awards under the 2021 Plan. You will experience additional dilution when those equity awards and purchase rights become vested and settled or exercisable, as applicable, for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock.

The issuance of additional common stock will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing holders of Aspirational securities and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, public shares or public warrants.

Warrants will become exercisable for Wheels Up Class A common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

Outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,521,494 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock will become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement governing those securities. These warrants will become exercisable at any time commencing on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and 12 months from the closing of our public offering. The exercise price of these warrants will be $11.50 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of Wheels Up Class A common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of Wheels Up Class A common stock. However, there is no guarantee that the public warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless. See the section entitled “— Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the public warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment” below.

Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the public warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Aspirational. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

increase the exercise price of the warrants, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem the outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant if, among other things, the last reported sale price of Wheels Up Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the warrants as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise the warrants. Redemption of the outstanding warrants as described above could force you to: (i) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants; or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, we expect would to be substantially less than the market value of your warrants.

None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us (subject to limited exceptions) so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Wheels Up does not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

In addition, we have the ability to redeem the outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.10 per warrant if, among other things, the last reported sale price of our Wheels Up Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). In such a case, the holders will be able to exercise their warrants prior to redemption for a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Wheels Up Class A common stock. The value received upon exercise of the warrants (i) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had exercised their warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (ii) may not compensate the holders for the value of the warrants, including because the number of ordinary shares received is capped at 0.361 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment) irrespective of the remaining life of the warrants.

Following the Business Combination, Wheels Up currently intends to retain its future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of its business and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of Wheels Up’s board of directors and will depend on its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as its board of directors deems relevant.

The NYSE may not list Wheels Up’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Wheels Up’s securities and subject Wheels Up to additional trading restrictions.

In connection with the Business Combination, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on the NYSE, we will be required to demonstrate compliance with the NYSE’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than the NYSE’s continued listing requirements. We will apply to have Wheels Up’s securities listed on the NYSE, to be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet all initial listing requirements. Even if Wheels Up’s securities are listed on the NYSE, Wheels Up may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If Wheels Up fails to meet the initial listing requirements and the NYSE does not list its securities on its exchange, WUP would not be required to consummate the Business Combination. In the event that WUP elected to waive this condition, and the Business Combination was consummated without Wheels Up’s securities being listed on the NYSE or on another national securities exchange, Wheels Up could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for Wheels Up’s securities;

•

reduced liquidity for Wheels Up’s securities;

•

a determination that Wheels Up Class A common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in Wheels Up Class A common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Wheels Up’s securities;

•

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” If Wheels Up’s securities were not listed on the NYSE, such securities would not qualify as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities because states are not preempted from regulating the sale of securities that are not covered securities.

Aspirational’s and WUP’s ability to consummate the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected by COVID-19.

The parties will be required to consummate the Business Combination even if WUP, its business, financial condition and results of operations are materially affected by COVID-19. The disruptions posed by COVID-19 have continued, and other matters of global concern may continue, for an extensive period of time, and if WUP is unable to recover from business disruptions due to COVID-19 or other matters of global concern on a timely basis, WUP’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and Wheels Up’s financial condition and results of operations following the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected. Each of WUP and Wheels Up may also incur additional costs due to delays caused by COVID-19, which could adversely affect Wheels Up’s financial condition and results of operations.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations in the event the business combination is not consummated.

In connection with an audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Specifically, the material weakness was due to a lack of controls to identify and record expenses that require accrual to ensure liabilities in the financial statements are reported completely and accurately.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. While we do not believe the material weakness described above resulted in any misstatement of our financial statements, we intend to implement additional communication and documentation procedures, among other steps, as part of our internal controls to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be successful in remediating the material weakness.

If the Business Combination is not consummated and we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim

TABLE OF CONTENTS

financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. If the Business Combination is not consummated, we cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses. If the Business Combination is consummated, Wheels Up’s internal controls and procedures over financial reporting will instead be established and maintained following Closing.

Additional Risks Related to Ownership of Wheels Up Common Stock Following the Business Combination and Wheels Up Operating as a Public Company

The price of Wheels Up’s common stock and warrants may be volatile.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the price of Wheels Up Class A common stock as well as Wheels Up warrants may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:

•

changes in the industries in which Wheels Up and its customers operate;

•

developments involving Wheels Up’s competitors;

•

changes in laws and regulations affecting its business;

•

variations in its operating performance and the performance of its competitors in general;

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in Wheels Up’s quarterly or annual operating results;

•

publication of research reports by securities analysts about Wheels Up or its competitors or its industry;

•

the public’s reaction to Wheels Up’s press releases, its other public announcements and its filings with the SEC;

•

actions by stockholders, including the sale by the PIPE Investors of any of their shares of our common stock;

•

additions and departures of key personnel;

•

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the combined company;

•

changes in its capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

the volume of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock available for public sale; and

•

general economic and political conditions, such as the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, recessions, interest rates, local and national elections, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, corruption, political instability and acts of war or terrorism.

These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of Wheels Up Class A common stock and warrants regardless of the operating performance of Wheels Up.

Wheels Up does not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Following the Business Combination, Wheels Up currently intends to retain its future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of its business and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of Wheels Up’s board of directors and will depend on its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as its board of directors deems relevant.

If analysts do not publish research about Wheels Up’s business or if they publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, Wheels Up’s stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for the common stock of Wheels Up will depend in part on the research and reports that analysts publish about its business. WUP does not have any control over these analysts. If one

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or more of the analysts who cover Wheels Up downgrade its common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, the price of its common stock would likely decline. If few analysts cover Wheels Up, demand for its common stock could decrease and its common stock price and trading volume may decline. Similar results may occur if one or more of these analysts stop covering Wheels Up in the future or fail to publish reports on it regularly.

Wheels Up may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

The market price of Wheels Up’s common stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. Wheels Up may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against Wheels Up could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm its business.

Future resales of common stock after the consummation of the Business Combination may cause the market price of Wheels Up’s securities to drop significantly, even if Wheels Up’s business is doing well.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, after the consummation of the Business Combination and subject to certain exceptions, the Sponsor, Aspirational’s independent directors and certain WUP equityholders will be contractually restricted from selling or transferring any of its shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock (and any equity securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock) held by the Sponsor and the applicable former WUP equityholders immediately following the Closing and the Earnout Shares and Wheels Up EO Units (but not including shares purchased in the public market or in the PIPE Investment) (the “Lock-up Shares”), in each case until the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date and (ii) (a) for 33.33% of the Lock-up Shares held by each of the parties thereto (and their respective permitted transferees), the date which the VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of Wheels Up Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (subject to adjustment) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after the Closing Date and (b) for an additional 50% of the Lock-up Shares held by each of the parties thereto (and their respective permitted transferees), the date which the VWAP of Wheels Up Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after the Closing Date. The lock-up provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement supersede the lock-up provisions set forth in Section 7 of that certain letter agreement, dated as of September 22, 2020, by and among Aspirational, the Sponsor, and each of the other parties thereto (the “Insider Letter”) which provisions in Section 7 of the Insider Letter shall be of no further force or effect as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.

However, following the expiration of such lock-up, the Sponsor, Aspirational’s independent directors and the applicable WUP equityholders will not be restricted from selling the Lock-Up Shares held by them, other than by applicable securities laws. Additionally, the PIPE Investors will not be restricted from selling any of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock acquired in the PIPE Investment following the closing of the Business Combination, and the WUP equityholders that are not subject to lock-up restrictions will not be restricted from selling any of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock acquired in the Business Combination, in each case other than by applicable securities laws. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of Wheels Up Class A common stock. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Sponsor and the applicable WUP equityholders (not including the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issued in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreements and including the WUP equity interests reserved in respect of WUP Awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on Wheels Up Class A common stock) that are subject to lock-up restrictions will collectively own approximately 43% of the outstanding shares of Wheels Up common stock, assuming that no public shareholders redeem their public shares in connection with the Business Combination and based on the other assumptions described under the section entitled “— The public shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of Wheels Up Class A common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment and due to future issuances pursuant to the 2021 Plan. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that our current stockholders have on the management of Wheels Up” above. Assuming redemption of approximately 49.9% public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, in the aggregate, the ownership of the Sponsor and the applicable WUP equityholders would rise to 45% of the outstanding shares of Wheels Up common stock (not including the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issued in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreements and including the WUP equity interests reserved in respect of WUP Awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on Wheels Up Class A common stock).

The shares held by Sponsor, Aspirational’s independent directors and the WUP equityholders that are subject to lock-up restrictions may be sold after the expiration of the applicable lock-up period under the Registration Rights Agreement. As restrictions on resale end and registration statements (filed after the Closing to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time) are available for use, the sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in Wheels Up’s share price or the market price of Wheels Up Class A common stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate the Business Combination, require substantial financial and management resources and increase the time and costs of completing a business combination.

The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because WUP is not currently subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of WUP as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to Wheels Up after the Business Combination. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404, including any additional requirements once we are no longer an emerging growth company, in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of Wheels Up Class A common stock. Additionally, once we are no longer an emerging growth company, we may be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting.

The obligations associated with being a public company will involve significant expenses and will require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from Wheels Up’s business operations.

As a public company, Wheels Up will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires the filing of annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to a public company’s business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that a public company establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. As a result, Wheels Up will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that WUP did not previously incur. Wheels Up’s entire management team and many of its other employees will need to devote substantial time to compliance and may not effectively or efficiently manage its transition into a public company.

These rules and regulations will result in Wheels Up incurring substantial legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations will likely make it more difficult and more expensive for Wheels Up to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be difficult for Wheels Up to attract and retain qualified people to serve on its board of directors, its board committees or as executive officers.

We are currently an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and to the extent we have taken advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

We are currently an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

If we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will no longer be able to take advantage of certain exemptions from reporting, and, absent other exemptions or relief available from the SEC, we will also be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will incur additional expenses in connection with such compliance and our management will need to devote additional time and effort to implement and comply with such requirements.

Risks Relating to the Consummation of the Domestication

The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for holders of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and warrants.

U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a result of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. Additionally, non-U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below) may become subject to withholding tax on any amounts treated as dividends paid on Wheels Up Class A common stock after the Domestication.

A U.S. Holder who on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually or constructively) Aspirational Class A ordinary shares with a fair market value of less than $50,000 will not recognize any gain or loss and will not be required to include any part of our earnings in income pursuant to the Domestication. A U.S. Holder who on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually or constructively) Aspirational Class A ordinary shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more, but less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Aspirational stock entitled to vote and less than 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Aspirational stock, will generally recognize gain (but not loss) in respect of the Domestication as if such U.S. Holder exchanged its Aspirational Class A ordinary shares for Wheels Up Class A common stock in a taxable transaction, unless such U.S. Holder elects in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations to include in income as a deemed dividend “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to the Aspirational Class A ordinary shares held directly by such U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder who on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting

TABLE OF CONTENTS

power of all classes of Aspirational stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Aspirational stock, will generally be required to include in income as a deemed dividend “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations) attributable to the Aspirational Class A ordinary shares held directly by such U.S. Holder.

Additionally, proposed Treasury Regulations with a retroactive effective date have been promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code, which generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (which, for this purpose, includes exchanging warrants for newly issued warrants in the Domestication) must recognize gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of such PFIC stock over its adjusted tax basis, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Because we are a blank check company with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that Aspirational is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares to recognize gain on the exchange of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares for Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Aspirational Class A ordinary shares. Proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would also apply to a U.S. Holder who exchanges Aspirational warrants for newly issued Wheels Up warrants; currently, however, the election mentioned above is not available with respect to Aspirational warrants (for discussion regarding the unclear application of the PFIC rules to Aspirational warrants, see the section entitled “U.S. Federal income Tax Considerations — PFIC Considerations”). Any gain recognized from the application of the PFIC rules described above would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of Aspirational. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of Wheels Up Class A common stock arising under the DGCL as well as Proposed Organizational Documents will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares arising under the Cayman Islands Companies Act as well as our current memorandum and articles of association.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of Wheels Up Class A common stock will arise under the Proposed Organizational Documents as well as the DGCL. Those new organizational documents and the DGCL contain provisions that differ in some respects from those in our current memorandum and articles of association and the Cayman Islands Companies Act and, therefore, some rights of holders of Wheels Up Class A common stock could differ from the rights that holders of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands Companies Act, such actions are generally available under the DGCL. This change could increase the likelihood that Wheels Up becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on Wheels Up.

In addition, there are differences between the new organizational documents of Wheels Up and the current constitutional documents of Aspirational. For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of Wheels Up Class A common stock and how they may differ from the rights of holders of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, see the section entitled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” The forms of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws of Wheels Up are attached as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus and we urge you to read them.

Delaware law and Wheels Up’s Proposed Organizational Documents contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

The Proposed Organizational Documents that will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, and the DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, and therefore depress the trading price of Wheels Up Class A common stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of Wheels Up’s board of directors or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. Among other things, the Proposed Organizational Documents include provisions regarding:

•

providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms;

•

the ability of Wheels Up’s board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

•

the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation prohibits cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

•

the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, Wheels Up’s directors and officers;

•

the ability of Wheels Up’s board of directors to amend the bylaws, which may allow Wheels Up’s board of directors to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

•

advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to Wheels Up’s board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in Wheels Up’s board of directors and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Wheels Up. These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in Wheels Up’s board of directors or management.

The provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation requiring exclusive forum in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for certain types of lawsuits may have the effect of discouraging certain lawsuits, including derivative lawsuits and lawsuits against our directors and officers, by limiting plaintiffs’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable.

Wheels Up’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless Wheels Up consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that such court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for any claims made by any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on Wheels Up’s behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of Wheels Up to Wheels Up or Wheels Up’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against Wheels Up, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Bylaws or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation (as either may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action asserting a claim against Wheels Up, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine or (v) any action asserting an “internal corporate claim” as that term is defined in Section 115 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Similarly, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

These provisions may have the effect of discouraging certain lawsuits, including derivative lawsuits and lawsuits against the directors and officers of Wheels Up, by limiting plaintiffs’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other

TABLE OF CONTENTS

companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against Wheels Up, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in the proposed certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

Wheels Up’s Proposed Organizational Documents include provisions limiting voting by non-U.S. Citizens.

To comply with restrictions imposed by federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws restrict voting of shares of Wheels Up capital stock by non-U.S. Citizens. The restrictions imposed by federal law currently require that no more than 25% of Wheels Up’s stock be voted, directly or indirectly, by persons who are not U.S. Citizens, and that Wheels Up’s chief executive officer, president, at least two-thirds of Wheels Up’s officers and at least two-thirds of the members of the Wheels Up board of directors be U.S. Citizens. The Proposed Bylaws provide that if the number of shares of capital stock owned or controlled by non-U.S. Citizens exceed 25% of the voting power of Wheels Up capital stock (the “Ownership Threshold”), the voting rights of the capital stock owned or controlled by non-U.S. Citizens and not registered on a separate stock record (the “Foreign Stock Record”) at the time of any vote or action will be suspended. The suspension of voting power will be terminated upon the earlier of (i) the shares are transferred to a U.S. Citizen and (ii) the registration of the shares on the Foreign Stock Record.

The Foreign Stock Record will be maintained by Wheels Up’s transfer agent. It will be the duty of each stockholder that is not a U.S. Citizen to register his, her or its shares of capital stock as a non-U.S. Citizen. Wheels Up and its transfer agent will not permit the number of shares entered on the Foreign Stock Exchange to exceed the Ownership Threshold. If the number of shares on the Foreign Stock Record exceeds the Ownership Threshold, each stockholder with capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record will have their voting rights suspended on a pro rata basis such that the voting rights afforded to the stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record is equal to the Ownership Threshold. The voting rights will be reinstated once the voting rights of the capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record does not exceed the Ownership Threshold, not taking into consideration the pro rata reduction.

Risks if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination and the Domestication, our board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and, therefore, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

Our board of directors is seeking approval to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates if, at the extraordinary general meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, our board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Risks if the Domestication and the Business Combination are not Consummated

If we are not able to complete the Business Combination with WUP by September 25, 2022 nor able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be further extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our Class A ordinary shares and liquidate the trust account, in which case our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

Our ability to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 continues to grow in the United States and, while the extent of the impact of the outbreak on Aspirational will depend on future developments, it could limit our ability to complete our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

initial business combination, including as a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquidity and third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all.

If Aspirational is not able to complete the Business Combination with WUP by September 25, 2022, nor able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to Aspirational’s Cayman Constitutional Documents, Aspirational will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Aspirational’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your public shares and/or public warrants, potentially at a loss.

Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of (i) our completion of an initial business combination (including the Closing), and then only in connection with those public shares that such public shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to certain limitations; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents to (A) modify the substance and timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if we do not complete a business combination by September 25, 2022 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of the public shares if we have not completed an initial business combination by September 25, 2022, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Holders of public warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the public warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares and/or public warrants, potentially at a loss.

If we have not completed our initial business combination, our public shareholders may be forced to wait until after September 25, 2022 before redemption from the trust account.

If we have not completed our initial business combination by September 25, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (less up to $100,000 of the net interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any redemption of public shareholders from the trust account shall be affected automatically by function of the Cayman Constitutional Documents prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to wind-up, liquidate the trust account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond September 25, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), before the redemption proceeds of the trust account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from the trust account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless, prior thereto, we consummate our initial business combination or amend certain provisions of our Cayman Constitutional Documents and only then in cases where investors have properly sought to redeem their public shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will

TABLE OF CONTENTS

public shareholders be entitled to distributions if we have not completed our initial business combination within the required time period and do not amend certain provisions of our Cayman Constitutional Documents prior thereto.

If the net proceeds of our initial public offering not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate through to September 25, 2022 and we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination, in which case our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and our warrants will expire worthless.

As of December 31, 2020, Aspirational had cash of $719,926 held outside the trust account, which is available for use by us to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating a business combination and other general corporate uses. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, Aspirational had total current liabilities of $1,192,364.

The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate until September 25, 2022, assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business.

If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from the Sponsor, members of our management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither the members of our management team nor any of their affiliates are under any further obligation to advance funds to Aspirational in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share on our redemption of the public shares and the public warrants will expire worthless.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF ASPIRATIONAL

General

Aspirational is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to our shareholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the extraordinary general meeting of Aspirational to be held on , 2021, and at any adjournment thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to our shareholders on or about , 2021 in connection with the vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. This proxy statement/prospectus provides our shareholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The extraordinary general meeting will be held on , 2021, at , Eastern Time, at , or virtually via live webcast at , or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the proposals.

Purpose of the Aspirational Extraordinary General Meeting

At the extraordinary general meeting, Aspirational is asking holders of ordinary shares to:

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus statement as Annex A, pursuant to which, among other things, following the Domestication of Aspirational to the State of Delaware, (i) the Blockers will simultaneously merge with and into the respective Blocker Merger Subs, with the Blockers surviving each merger as wholly owned subsidiaries of Aspirational, (ii) thereafter, the surviving Blockers will simultaneously merge with and into Blocker Sub, with Blocker Sub surviving each merger, and (iii) thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into WUP, with WUP surviving the merger, with Aspirational as its managing member, in each case in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus (the “BCA Proposal”);

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by special resolution, assuming the BCA Proposal is approved and adopted, the change of Aspirational’s jurisdiction by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication Proposal”);

•

consider and vote upon the following four separate proposals (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”) to approve by special resolution, assuming the BCA Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are approved and adopted, the following material differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents:

(A)

to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of Aspirational from 500,000,000 Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 Aspirational preferred shares to 2,500,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and 25,000,000 shares of Wheels Up preferred stock (“Organizational Documents Proposal A”);

(B)

(C)

to provide that the board of directors of Wheels Up be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term (“Organizational Documents Proposal C”); and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(D)

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resosultion, to elect 11 directors of Wheels Up (the “Director Election Proposal”);

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to (i) the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (ii) the WUP equityholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”);

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) (the “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal” and, collectively with the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposal, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”);

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting (we refer to this as the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Recommendation of Aspirational Board of Directors

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

Aspirational shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned ordinary shares at the close of business on , 2021, which is the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“record date” for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each ordinary share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Aspirational warrants do not have voting rights. As of the close of business on the record date, there were ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which were issued and outstanding public shares.

The Sponsor and each director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any ordinary shares held by them. The ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Quorum

A quorum of Aspirational shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters, but they will not be treated as shares voted on the matter. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction and there will not be any broker non-votes at the extraordinary general meeting. Proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to Aspirational but marked by brokers as “not voted” will not be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters and they will not be treated as shares voted on the matter.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the BCA Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the BCA Proposal. Therefore, if the BCA Proposal is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Organizational Documents Proposals is conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the BCA Proposal. Therefore, if the BCA Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposals will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the BCA Proposal and the Domestication Proposal. Therefore, if the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals are not approved, the Director Election Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Stock Issuance Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Director Election Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals. Therefore, if the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Director Election Proposal are not approved, the Stock Issuance Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Director Election Proposal. Therefore, if the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposal are not approved, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

Voting Your Shares

Each Aspirational ordinary share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of ordinary shares that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your ordinary shares at the extraordinary general meeting:

•

You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by Aspirational’s board of directors “FOR” the BCA Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the extraordinary general meeting will not be counted.

•

You can attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person. You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a valid legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Aspirational can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a Aspirational shareholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

•

you may send another proxy card with a later date; you may notify Aspirational’s Chief Executive Officer in writing before the extraordinary general meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•

you may attend the extraordinary general meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person or online, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your ordinary shares, you may call Morrow, Aspirational’s proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200 or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing ASPL.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a public shareholder may request of Aspirational that Wheels Up redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

•

(i) hold public shares, or (ii) if you hold public shares through units, you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

•

submit a written request to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, that Wheels Up redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

•

deliver your public shares to Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Therefore, the election to exercise redemption rights occurs prior to the Domestication and the redemption is with respect to the Wheels Up public shares that an electing public shareholder holds after the Domestication. For the purposes of Article 49.3 of Aspirational’s memorandum and articles of association and the Cayman Islands Companies Act, the exercise of redemption rights shall be treated as an election to have such public shares repurchased for cash and references in this proxy statement/prospectus to “redemption” or “redeeming” shall be interpreted accordingly. Immediately following the Domestication and the consummation of the Business Combination, Wheels Up shall satisfy the exercise of redemption rights by redeeming the corresponding public shares issued to the public shareholders that validly exercised their redemption rights.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

as of December 31, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption takes place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination.

If you hold the shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Wheels Up public shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through DTC’s DWAC (deposit withdrawal at custodian) system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the proposed business combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Continental, Aspirational’s transfer agent, prior to the vote taken on the BCA Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s public shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental, Aspirational’s agent, at least two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 (d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor and each director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any ordinary shares held by them. The ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Holders of the warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

The closing price of public shares on March 12, 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, was $10.49 per share. As of December 31, 2020, funds in the trust account totaled $239,795,125 and were comprised entirely of U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, or approximately $10.00 per issued and outstanding public share.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, public shareholders should verify the market price of the public shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their public shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Aspirational cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their public shares in the open market,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares.

Appraisal Rights

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Aspirational is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Aspirational and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Aspirational will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Aspirational has hired Morrow to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Aspirational will pay that firm a fee of $25,000 plus disbursements. Such fee will be paid with non-trust account funds.

Aspirational will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Aspirational will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Aspirational Initial Shareholders

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 29,968,290 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which include the 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor and Messrs. Austin, Jacobs and Newman and the 23,974,632 public shares. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 12,521,494 warrants, which includes the 4,529,950 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor and the 7,991,544 public warrants.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the existing equityholders of WUP or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares, (ii) execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or (iii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals or not redeem their public shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of Aspirational’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing equityholders of WUP or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (i) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (ii) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals, (iii) satisfaction of the Minimum Trust Condition, (iv) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (v) Wheels Up’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ordinary shares (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such

TABLE OF CONTENTS

investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination).

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BCA PROPOSAL

Aspirational is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Merger Agreement. Aspirational shareholders should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the subsection entitled “The Merger Agreement” below for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to carefully read the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because Aspirational is holding a shareholder vote on the Mergers, Aspirational may consummate the Mergers only if they are approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of ordinary shares that are voted at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Merger Agreement

This subsection of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Mergers.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure letters (the “disclosure letters”), which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the disclosure letters contain information that is material to an investment decision. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Merger Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Aspirational, WUP or the other parties thereto or any other matter.

Structure of the Business Combination

On February 1, 2021, Aspirational entered into the Merger Agreement with WUP, Merger Sub, Blocker Sub, the Blocker Merger Subs and the Blockers, pursuant to which, among other things, following the Domestication (as defined below):

(i)

each of the Blocker Merger Subs will simultaneously merge with and into the respective Blockers, the separate corporate existence of each Blocker Merger Sub will cease and each Blocker will survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of Aspirational (the “First Step Blocker Mergers”);

(ii)

the surviving Blocker entities will thereafter simultaneously merge with and into Blocker Sub, the separate corporate existence of each Blocker will cease and Blocker Sub will be the surviving entity (the “Second Step Blocker Mergers,” and together with the First Step Blocker Mergers, the “Blocker Mergers”);

(iii)

Merger Sub will thereafter merge with and into WUP, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and WUP will be the surviving entity (the “Surviving Entity”), with Aspirational as its managing member (the “Company Merger,” and together with the Blocker Mergers, the “Mergers”);

(iv)

at the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Effective Time”), Blocker Sub will receive an amount of Wheels Up Common Units (as defined below) equal to the WUP preferred interests held

TABLE OF CONTENTS

by Blocker Sub multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the “Blocker Sub Initial Held Interests”), into which such WUP preferred interests will convert;

(v)

promptly following the Effective Time, Wheels Up will contribute an amount in cash to the Surviving Entity (the “Cash Contribution”) as a capital contribution in respect of a number of Wheels Up Common Units equal to (A) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as of the Effective Time (after giving effect to the consummation of the PIPE Investment and any share redemptions by Aspirational’s shareholders), minus (B) the Blocker Sub Initial Held Interests; and

(vi)

Aspirational will be renamed “Wheels Up Experience Inc.”

Prior to and as a condition of the Mergers Aspirational will change its jurisdiction by effecting a deregistration under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision) and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL (the “Domestication”), pursuant to which Aspirational’s jurisdiction will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. For more information, see the section entitled “The Domestication Proposal.”

At the Effective Time, the Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of WUP will be amended and restated, a copy of such amended and restated limited liability company agreement is attached as Annex J to this proxy statement/prospectus (the “Wheels Up LLC Agreement”), which, among other things, sets forth the rights, powers and duties applicable to the equity interests of the Surviving Entity, including: (i) a single class of common units (the “Wheels Up Common Units”), (ii) a single class of PI Units (the “Wheels Up PI Units”), which will be subdivided into separate series designations which correspond to the respective series designations of WUP Profits Interests issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) a single class of RI Units (the “Wheels Up RI Units”) and (iv) a single class of EO Units (the “Wheels Up EO Units”). In addition, Wheels Up MIP LLC and Wheels Up MIP RI LLC, two existing single purpose entities formed in 2014 and 2019, respectively, for the purpose of administering and effectuating the WUP Profits Interests Awards and WUP Restricted Interests Awards, respectively, will survive the Closing and will be the initial record holders of the Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units, respectively, in addition to the Wheels Up EO Units received pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. See also the sections entitled “— Related Agreements — Wheels Up LLC Agreement,” “— Consideration — Aggregate Merger Consideration,” “— Consideration — Treatment of WUP Options, Profits Interests and Restricted Interests” and “— Consideration — Earnout” below.

The diagrams below depict simplified versions of the current organizational structures of Aspirational and WUP, respectively.

Pre-Closing Aspirational Organizational Structure

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pre-Closing WUP Organizational Structure

The diagram below depicts a simplified version of the Wheels Up organizational structure immediately following the completion of the Business Combination.

As shown above, following the consummation of the Business Combination, Wheels Up will incorporate an “Up-C” structure, which is sometimes used by partnerships and limited liability companies when they go public. Our use of such structure is limited only to the extent necessary to allow the continuation of the Wheels Up Profits Interests Awards in their current form rather than having them convert into shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock based on their intrinsic value in the Business Combination, as would have been necessary in the absence of such a structure. Wheels Up expects to benefit from the implementation and continuation of such structure both from the perspective of the performance incentive component the continuation of the WUP Profits Interests Awards in such form will have for applicable management members, and also from the tax benefits that will be derived from such a structure, all of which are being retained by WUP. We do not believe that our Up-C organizational structure will give rise to any significant business or strategic benefit or detriment to us.

Consideration

Aggregate Merger Consideration

As a result of the Mergers, among other things, the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests, capital stock or other equity interests of each respective Blocker (the “Blocker Equity Interests”) immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time (the “First Step Blocker Effective Time”) (other than any Cancelled Blocker Equity Interests (as defined below)) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate (i) a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the aggregate number of WUP preferred interests held by each such Blocker as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time, and (ii) Earnout Shares (as defined below), to the extent due and issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Blocker Equity Interests held in treasury or owned by any Blocker immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time (the “Cancelled Blocker Equity Interests”) will be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment will be made with respect thereto.

Further, each issued and outstanding WUP common interest and preferred interest (other than any WUP common interests subject to the WUP awards discussed below and any WUP preferred interests held by Blocker Sub) immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (i) a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio and (ii) any Earnout Shares that may be due and issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Each WUP preferred interest held by Blocker Sub will be converted into a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is equal to the Exchange Ratio.

The aggregate merger consideration payable at the Closing (as defined below) pursuant to the foregoing two paragraphs will be, in all cases, equal to $1,885,000,000, inclusive of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock reserved in respect of the WUP equity awards described below. However, after the Closing, an additional number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock may be issued to existing WUP equityholders (i) if any WUP Options (as defined below) are cash exercised, (ii) due to the conversion of any Wheels Up Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a level above the intrinsic value of such profits interests immediately after Closing and (iii) to the extent Earnout Shares become due and issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

In addition, 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock will also be purchased (at a price of $10.00 per share) at the Closing by certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), for an aggregate purchase price equal to $550,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). The proceeds of the PIPE Investment, together with the amounts remaining in Aspirational trust account as of immediately following the Effective Time, will be retained by Wheels Up following the Closing. No fractional shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock will be issued in the Mergers.

Exchange Ratio

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 188,500,000 by (ii) (A) the aggregate number of equity interests of WUP (including WUP common interests, WUP preferred interests, WUP Profits Interests and WUP restricted interests) that are (1) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time, taking into consideration WUP Profits Interests in a number equal to the aggregate number of such WUP Profits Interests multiplied by the Profits Interest Proceeds Ratio (as defined below), or (2) issuable upon, or subject to, the settlement of WUP Options (whether or not then vested or exercisable) that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, minus (B) a number of shares equal to the aggregate exercise price of the WUP Options described in clause (2) above divided by the product obtained by multiplying the Exchange Ratio by $10.00 (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). The Profits Interest Proceeds Ratio means (x) the intrinsic value of a WUP Profits Interest assuming a hypothetical liquidation of WUP upon the Closing for $1,885,000,000, after taking into consideration the relevant participation threshold of each such WUP Profits Interest and any distribution preferences applicable to other WUP equity interests in accordance with the WUP limited liability company agreement (as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement without further amendment), divided by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Treatment of WUP Options, Profits Interests and Restricted Interests

Promptly following the Cash Contribution, each option to purchase WUP common interests (each, a “WUP Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive an option relating to the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such WUP Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, a “Rollover Option”), except that such Rollover Option will relate to the whole number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the number of WUP common interests subject to such WUP Option multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per share for each Rollover Option will be equal to the exercise price per share of such WUP Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest full cent. In connection with the Business Combination, the WUP board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of each of WUP and the holders of WUP Options to partially accelerate the service-based vesting schedule of each outstanding and unexercised WUP Option such that each service-based vesting tranche will be rolled forward by 18 months, assuming the Closing occurs on April 30, 2021. If the Closing occurs after April 30, 2021, the foregoing roll-forward period will be reduced by the number of days from and including May 1, 2021 and the date the Closing occurs. As a result of this vesting acceleration, the portion of the WUP Option that would have otherwise vested on or before October 31, 2022, will vest as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. For more information on the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Option Plan and general terms and conditions relating to the WUP Options granted thereunder, see the section entitled “WUP Executive and Director Compensation — Wheels Up Option Plan.”

Each award of WUP profits interests, including any profits interests granted to Wheels Up MIP LLC that corresponds to a profits interest in Wheels Up MIP LLC granted to an eligible service provider of WUP or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan (each, a “WUP Profits Interest Award”), that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive (i) an award of Wheels Up PI Units and (ii) a number of Wheels Up EO Units, as follows:

•

Wheels Up PI Units: Each WUP Profits Interests Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into an award of Wheels Up PI Units with substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such WUP Profits Interests Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the same vesting and termination-related provisions (each, a “Rollover Profits Interests Award”). Each Rollover Profits Interests Award will relate to a number of Wheels Up PI Units equal to the product of (i) the number of WUP Profits Interests subject to such WUP Profits Interests Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, with the participation threshold (or “hurdle amount”) related to each such Wheels Up PI Unit adjusted to maintain the intrinsic value of the WUP Profits Interests Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, each Wheels Up PI Unit that is or becomes fully vested under the applicable Rollover Profits Interest Award and otherwise becomes exchangeable for Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the Wheels Up LLC Agreement, subject to any applicable transfer restrictions, will be exchangeable for no greater than one share of Wheels Up class A common stock, based on the intrinsic value of a Wheels Up PI Unit at the time of exchange as provided in the Wheels Up LLC Agreement (for each series of Wheels Up PI Unit). In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, the WUP board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of each of WUP and the holders of WUP Profits Interest Awards to partially accelerate the service-based vesting schedule of each outstanding WUP Profits Interest Award such that each service-based vesting tranche will be rolled forward by 18 months, assuming the Closing occurs on April 30, 2021. If the Closing occurs after April 30, 2021, the foregoing roll-forward period will be reduced by the number of days from and including May 1, 2021 and the date the Closing occurs. As a result of this vesting acceleration, the portion of the WUP Profits interest Award that would have otherwise vested on or before October 31, 2022, will vest as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. For more information on the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan and general terms and conditions relating to the WUP Profits Interest Awards granted thereunder, see the section entitled “WUP Executive and Director Compensation — Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Wheels Up EO Units: Each WUP Profits Interests Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will also be converted into a number of Wheels Up EO Units equal to the product of (i) the quotient of (x) the number of WUP Profits Interests subject to such WUP Profits Interests Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the aggregate number of WUP equity interests on a fully diluted basis (and assuming that all awards are fully vested) immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time (the “WUP Fully Diluted Shares”), multiplied by (ii) 9,000,000. Each such Wheels Up EO Unit will be subject to vesting as provided in the Wheels Up LLC Agreement and to such other terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such WUP Profits Interests Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions.

Each award of WUP restricted interests, including any restricted interests granted to Wheels Up MIP RI LLC that corresponds to a restricted interest in Wheels Up MIP RI LLC granted to an eligible service provider of WUP or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan (each, a “WUP Restricted Interest Award”), that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into (i) an award of Wheels Up RI Units (as defined in the Wheels Up LLC Agreement) and (ii) a number of Wheels Up EO Units, each as follows:

•

Wheels Up RI Units: Each WUP Restricted Interest Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into an award of Wheels Up RI Units with substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such WUP Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the same vesting and termination-related provisions (each, a Rollover Restricted Interest Award”). Each such Rollover Restricted Interest Award will relate to a number of Wheels Up RI Units equal to (i) the number of WUP restricted interests subject to such WUP Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. After the Effective Time, each Wheels Up RI Unit that is or becomes fully vested under the applicable Rollover Restricted Interest Award and otherwise becomes exchangeable for Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the Wheels Up LLC Agreement, subject to any applicable transfer restrictions, will be exchangeable for one share of Wheels Up class A common stock, as provided in the Wheels Up LLC Agreement. In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, the WUP board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of each of WUP and the holders of WUP Restricted Interest Awards to partially accelerate the service-based vesting component of each outstanding WUP Restricted Interest Award such that each service-based vesting tranche will be rolled forward by 18 months, assuming the Closing occurs on April 30, 2021. Each service-based vesting tranche (excluding the “second vesting sub-condition,” as discussed below) will be rolled forward by 18 months, assuming the Closing occurs on April 30, 2021. If the Closing occurs after April 30, 2021, the foregoing roll-forward period will be reduced by the number of days from and including May 1, 2021 and the date the Closing occurs. As a result of this vesting acceleration, the applicable service-based vesting condition that would otherwise have been deemed satisfied on or before October 31, 2022, will be deemed satisfied as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The WUP Restricted Interest Awards will remain subject to the “second vesting sub-condition” (as defined in the applicable award agreement) that requires the holder’s continued employment through the later to occur of (x) six months after the Closing and (y) 30 days after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period. For more information on the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan and general terms and conditions relating to the WUP Restricted Interest Awards granted thereunder, see the section entitled “WUP Executive and Director Compensation — Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan.”

•

Wheels Up EO Units: Each WUP Restricted Interest Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will also be converted into a number of Wheels Up EO Units equal to the product of (i) the quotient of (A) the number of WUP restricted interests subject to each such WUP Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the WUP Fully Diluted Shares, multiplied by (ii) 9,000,000. Each such Wheels Up EO Unit will be subject to vesting as provided in the Wheels Up LLC Agreement and to such other terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such WUP Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions.

Earnout

As a result of the Mergers, the owners of the Blockers (the “Blocker Owners”) and existing WUP equityholders as of the immediately prior to the Effective Time will have the right to receive up to an additional 9,000,000 shares (the “Earnout Shares”) of Wheels Up Class A common stock (including, with respect to holders of WUP Profits Interest Awards and WUP Restricted Interest Awards, but excluding holders of WUP Options, as of immediately prior to the Closing, through the issuance of Wheels Up EO Units that upon vesting may become exchangeable for Wheels Up Class A common stock), in three equal tranches, which are issuable upon the achievement of three respective share price thresholds and, with respect to Wheels Up EO Units, subject to the satisfaction of certain time-based vesting requirements related to the underlying WUP Profits Interest Awards and WUP Restricted Interest Awards. If at any time during the five years following the Closing, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $12.50, $15.00 or $17.50, respectively, for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days, or (ii) there is a Change of Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the price paid per Wheels Up Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $12.50, $15.00 or $17.50, respectively, then, at each such date:

•

Wheels Up will issue to each Blocker Owner a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the quotient of (A) the aggregate number of WUP preferred interests held by the respective Blocker as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time, divided by (ii) the sum of the number of common interests, preferred interests, profits interests and restricted interests of WUP issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time (in each case on a fully vested basis) (the “Effective Time WUP Fully Diluted Shares”), less the number of profits interests and restricted interests of WUP corresponding to any respective forfeiture of Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units between the Effective Time and the respective earnout achievement date, multiplied by (2) 3,000,000.

•

Wheels Up will issue to each holder of WUP common interests and WUP preferred interests outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Blocker Sub) a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the quotient of (A) the aggregate number of WUP common interests and WUP preferred interests held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Effective Time WUP Fully Diluted Shares, less the number of WUP Profits Interests and restricted interests corresponding to any respective forfeiture of Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units between the Effective Time and the respective earnout achievement date, multiplied by (ii) 3,000,000.

•

A portion of the Wheels Up EO Units issued in connection with the conversion of WUP Profits Interest Awards and WUP Restricted Interest Awards (as described above) will be eligible to vest (up to an aggregate number of Wheels Up EO Units that are exchangeable for 3,000,000 shares of Wheels Up class A common stock) to each holder thereof, subject to the subject to the satisfaction of certain time-based vesting requirements related to the underlying WUP Profits Interest Awards and WUP Restricted Interest Awards.

Closing

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date that is the third business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), unless another time or date is mutually agreed to in writing by the parties. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of Aspirational, Merger Sub, Blocker Sub, the Blocker Merger Subs, the Blockers and WUP, certain of which are qualified by materiality and material adverse effect (as defined below) standards and may be further modified and limited by the disclosure letters. See the section entitled “— Material Adverse Effect” below. The representations and warranties of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Sub or the Blocker Merger Subs to enter into and perform their obligations under the Merger Agreement standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a material adverse effect with respect to WUP (“WUP Material Adverse Effect”) means any event, state of facts, development, circumstance, occurrence or effect (collectively, “Events”) that (i) has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, results of operations or financial condition of WUP and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (ii) does or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent the ability of WUP to consummate the Company Merger.

However, in no event would any of the following, alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a WUP Material Adverse Effect:

(a)

any change in applicable laws or GAAP or any interpretation thereof following the date of the Merger Agreement;

(b)

any change in interest rates or economic, political, business or financial market conditions generally;

(c)

the taking of any action required by the Merger Agreement;

(d)

any natural disaster (including hurricanes, storms, tornados, flooding, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or similar occurrences), pandemic or change in climate;

(e)

any acts of terrorism or war, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, geopolitical conditions, local, national or international political conditions;

(f)

any failure of WUP to meet any projections or forecasts (provided that this clause will not prevent a determination that any Event not otherwise excluded from this definition of WUP Material Adverse Effect underlying such failure to meet projections or forecasts has resulted in a WUP Material Adverse Effect);

(g)

any Events generally applicable to the industries or markets in which WUP and its subsidiaries operate (including increases in the cost of products, supplies, materials or other goods purchased from third party suppliers);

(h)

the announcement of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including any termination of, reduction in or similar adverse impact (but in each case only to the extent attributable to such announcement or consummation) on relationships, contractual or otherwise, with any landlords, customers, suppliers, distributors, partners or employees of WUP and its subsidiaries (it being understood that this clause (h) will be disregarded for purposes of the representation and warranties in Section 4.4 of the Merger Agreement and the corresponding condition to Closing);

(i)

any matter set forth on WUP’s disclosure letter;

(j)

any Events to the extent actually known by certain individuals identified in Aspirational’s disclosure letter on or prior to the date of the Merger Agreement; or

(k)

any action taken by, or at the request of, Aspirational, Merger Sub, Blocker Sub or the Blocker Merger Subs.

Any Event referred to in clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) or (g) above may be taken into account in determining if a WUP Material Adverse Effect has occurred to the extent it has a disproportionate and adverse effect on the business, assets, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of WUP and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to similarly situated companies in the industry in which WUP and its subsidiaries conduct their respective operations (which will include the aviation industries generally), but only to the extent of the incremental disproportionate effect on WUP and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to similarly situated companies in the industry in which WUP and its subsidiaries conduct their respective operations.

The Merger Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing that is executed in the same manner as the Merger Agreement and which makes reference to the Merger Agreement.

Fees and Expenses

If the Closing does not occur, each party to the Merger Agreement will be responsible for and pay its own expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees of its legal counsel, financial advisers and accountants. If the Closing occurs, Wheels Up will, upon the consummation of the Mergers and release of proceeds from the trust account, pay or cause to be paid all accrued and unpaid transaction expenses of WUP and pay or cause to be paid all accrued transaction expenses of Aspirational or its affiliates (including the Sponsor).

109

TABLE OF CONTENTS

director of Aspirational holding Aspirational ordinary shares agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement.

The Sponsor Support Agreement will terminate in its entirety, and be of no further force or effect, upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Expiration Time (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) and (b) the written agreement of the parties thereto. Upon such termination of the Sponsor Support Agreement, all obligations of the parties under the Sponsor Support Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party thereto to any person in respect thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no party thereto will have any claim against another (and no person will have any rights against such party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter thereof; provided, however, that the termination of the Sponsor Support Agreement will not relieve any party thereto from liability arising in respect of any breach of the Sponsor Support Agreement prior to such termination.

WUP Holders Support Agreement

Pursuant to WUP Holders Support Agreement, certain WUP equityholders also agreed to, among other things, deliver a duly executed copy of the Registration Rights Agreement at the Closing.

The WUP Holders Support Agreement will terminate in its entirety, and be of no further force or effect, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Expiration Time (as defined in WUP Holders Support Agreement) and (ii) the written agreement of the parties thereto. Upon such termination of WUP Holders Support Agreement, all obligations of the parties under WUP Holders Support Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party thereto to any person in respect thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no party thereto will have any claim against another (and no person will have any rights against such party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter thereof; provided, however, that the termination of WUP Holders Support Agreement will not relieve any party thereto from liability arising in respect of any breach of WUP Holders Support Agreement prior to such termination.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, Wheels Up, the Sponsor, certain WUP equityholders, Leo Austin, Neil Jacobs, Frank Newman and the other parties thereto will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Wheels Up will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock and other equity securities of Wheels Up that are held by the parties thereto from time to time, subject to the restrictions on transfer therein.

Additionally, the Registration Rights Agreement contains certain restrictions on transfer with respect to the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock (and any equity securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock) held by the Sponsor and the applicable former WUP equityholders immediately following the Closing and the Earnout Shares and Wheels Up EO Units (but not including shares purchased in the public market or in the PIPE Investment) (the “Lock-up Shares”), in each case until the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date and (ii) (a) for 33.33% of the Lock-up Shares held by each of the parties thereto (and their respective permitted transferees), the date which the VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of Wheels Up Class A common stock

110

TABLE OF CONTENTS

equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (subject to adjustment) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after the Closing Date and (b) for an additional 50% of the Lock-up Shares held by each of the parties thereto (and their respective permitted transferees), the date which the VWAP of Wheels Up Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after the Closing Date. The lock-up provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement supersede the lock-up provisions set forth in Section 7 of the Insider Letter which provisions in Section 7 of the Insider Letter shall be of no further force or effect as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Registration Rights Agreement amends and restates the registration rights agreement that was entered into by Aspirational, Sponsor and the other parties thereto in connection with Aspirational’s initial public offering. The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) with respect to any party thereto (other than Wheels Up), on the date that such party no longer holds any Registrable Securities (as defined therein).

PIPE Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Aspirational entered into subscription agreements with the PIPE Investors (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”), a copy of the form of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $550,000,000. The obligation of the parties to consummate the purchase and sale of the shares covered by the PIPE Subscription Agreement is conditioned upon (i) there not being in force any injunction or order enjoining or prohibiting the issuance and sale of the shares covered by the PIPE Subscription Agreement, (ii) there not being any amendment or modification of the terms of the Merger Agreement in a manner that is materially adverse to the PIPE Investor (in its capacity as such), (iii) a customary bringdown of the representations and warranties of the PIPE Investor and Aspirational in the PIPE Subscription Agreement, (iv) the prior or substantially concurrent consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (v) solely with respect to Aspirational’s obligation to close, the Investor executing an investor representation letter addressed to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. The closings under the PIPE Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the Closing.

The PIPE Subscription Agreements provide that, solely with respect to subscriptions by third-party investors (which investors are not party to the Registration Rights Agreement), Aspirational is required to file with the SEC, within 30 days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to be issued to any such third-party investor and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (if Aspirational is eligible to use a Form S-3 shelf registration) declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies Aspirational that it will “review” such registration statement and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Aspirational is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Non-Disclosure Agreement

On November 10, 2020, Aspirational entered into a non-disclosure agreement (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”) with WUP, the provisions of which agreement survived the execution of the Merger Agreement and will automatically terminate on November 10, 2022. The Non-Disclosure Agreement provides for, among other things, certain confidentiality obligations mutually owed by Aspirational and WUP in relation to certain information disclosed by or on behalf of either party in connection with the consideration of a possible transaction or business relationship between the parties.

Delta Investor Rights Letter

On February 1, 2021, WUP, Aspirational and Delta entered into the Delta Investor Rights Letter providing Delta with certain governance rights relating to Wheels Up post-Closing. The Delta Investor Rights Letter becomes effective upon the Closing. Pursuant to the Delta Investor Rights Letter, subject to certain conditions, Delta is entitled to designate two members of Wheels Up’s board of directors at Closing, and to thereafter nominate (and if such director is not elected, to appoint, subject to certain limitations) two directors to Wheels Up’s board of directors, with one such individual to serve as a Class I director and the other to serve as a Class III director. Directors designated by Delta will not receive any compensation for their service as directors. Eric Phillips and Erik Snell are Delta’s director designees under the Delta Investor Rights Letter to serve as of Closing. If Delta ceases to own at least 50% of the shares of Wheels Up common stock that it owns as of the Closing, Delta will no longer have the right to nominate (or appoint, if applicable) one such director. If Delta ceases to own at least 25% of the shares of Common Stock that it owns as of the Closing, Delta will no longer have any nomination (or appointment) rights. WUP and Aspirational have agreed that, following the Closing, for so long as Delta continues to own at least 25% of the shares of Wheels Up common stock that it owns as of the Closing or has a designated representative serving on the Wheels Up board of directors, Wheels Up will not, without the consent of Delta, issue any equity or equity-linked securities to certain domestic commercial air carriers or any of their respective subsidiaries or parent entities. WUP and Aspirational have also agreed that, following the Closing, for so long as Delta continues to own at least 25% of the shares of Wheels Up common stock that it owns as of the Closing, Wheels Up will consult with Delta in hiring or terminating the employment of certain senior employees with responsibility for flight operations, safety, maintenance and quality control. If Wheels Up’s strategic partnership agreement with Delta is terminated by either party in accordance with its terms, Delta’s right to nominate (or appoint, if applicable) a second director, if applicable, and the right to consult with Wheels Up on the hiring and termination of certain employees with responsibility for flight operations, safety, maintenance and quality control will also terminate.

Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Surviving Entity

Concurrently with the completion of the Business Combination, the existing Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of WUP will be amended and restated in its entirety to become the Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, in substantially the form attached as Annex J to this proxy statement/prospectus (the “A&R LLCA”). We refer to the unitholders of WUP after the Business Combination as the “unitholders.” The unitholders will initially include Wheels Up, Wheels Up Blocker Sub, Wheels Up MIP LLC and Wheels Up MIP RI LLC.

Units

Under the A&R LLCA, at the Effective Time, the outstanding equity interests of WUP will consist of (i) a single class of common units (the “Surviving Entity Common Units”), (ii) a single class of PI Units (the “Wheels Up PI Units”), which will be subdivided into separate series designations which correspond to the respective series designations of WUP Profits Interests issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) a single class of RI Units (the “Wheels Up RI Units”) and (iv) a single class of EO Units (the “Wheels Up EO Units”).

Following the Business Combination, the Surviving Entity Common Units will be held entirely by Wheels Up and Wheels Up Blocker Sub, in an aggregate number equal to the aggregate number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that is outstanding from time to time. The Wheels Up RI Units will be held entirely by Wheels Up MIP RI LLC, and will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions

112

TABLE OF CONTENTS

as were applicable to the WUP Restricted Interest Awards immediately prior to the Effective Time that were converted into such units in connection with the Business Combination. The Wheels Up PI Units will be held entirely by Wheels Up MIP LLC, and will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the WUP Profits Interest Awards immediately prior to the Effective Time that were converted into such units in connection with the Business Combination. Each Wheels Up PI Unit shall have a participation threshold (or “hurdle amount”) applicable to it that was determined on a basis to maintain the intrinsic value of related WUP Profits Interests Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. Wheels Up EO Units will be held by Wheels Up MIP LLC and Wheels Up MIP RI LLC, and correspond to the pro rata amount of Earnout Shares that correspond to the holders of WUP Profits Interest Awards and WUP Restricted Interest Awards based on the number of such awards relative to the total outstanding interests of WUP as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the same terms and conditions upon issuance as are applicable to the corresponding WUP Profits Interest Awards and WUP Restricted Interest Awards, respectively.

Exchange Rights

In accordance with the terms of the A&R LLCA, vested Wheels Up RI Units, Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up EO Units will be exchangeable by by the holder of the applicable WUP Profits Interests Award or WUP Restricted Interest Award (following a distribution to such holder of the appliable Wheels Up PI Unit or Wheels Up RI Unit, as applicable) for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as follows (each, an “exchange right”): (i) each vested Wheels Up RI Unit will be exchangeable for one share of Wheels UP Class A common stock, (ii) each vested Wheels Up PI Unit will be exchangeable for a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock having an aggregate value equal to the intrinsic value of such Wheels Up PI Unit as of such date, which intrinsic value equals the then-current value of the Class A common stock less the hurdle amount per share for the particular Wheels Up PI Unit and (iii) each vested Wheels Up EO Unit will be exchangeable for its pro rata portion of the applicable Earnout Shares to which such Wheels Up EO Units relates, after giving effect to any forfeiture or cancellation of Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units through the date the applicable Earnout Shares vested and become issuable to the WUP equityholders, unless, in each case, Wheels Up elects to exercise a right to instead pay an amount in cash to exchanging WUP award holders equal to the value of the Wheels Up Class A common stock that would otherwise have been delivered upon consummation of the applicable exchange. On the tenth anniversary of the Closing, all vested Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units will be exchanged for Wheels Up Class A common stock, to the extent not previously exchanged.

Wheels Up is obligated to facilitate an exercise of an exchange right with respect to any vested Wheels Up PI Units, Wheels Up RI Units or Wheels Up EO units by contributing to WUP Wheels Up Class A common stock or cash to be used to acquire the tendered units.

The holders of WUP Profits Interests Awards and WUP Restricted Interest Awards will be permitted to exercise their exchange rights at any time and from time to time, subject to applicable vesting requirements and lock-up restrictions. In addition, the exchange rights will be subject to certain limitations and restrictions intended to ensure that WUP will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including certain limitations that will only be applicable during the remainder of 2021.

Management

WUP will be managed by Wheels Up, as its managing member, which shall have full and complete charge of all affairs of WUP. As managing member, Wheels Up may appoint officers of WUP.

Transfer of Securities

Except in connection with the exercise of an exchange right, no unitholder will be permitted to transfer its units in WUP without the prior written consent of Wheels Up, as WUP’s managing member.

Distributions and Allocations

Under the A&R LLCA, we have the right to determine when distributions will be made to the unitholders and the amount of any such distributions. Following this offering, if we authorize a distribution,

113

TABLE OF CONTENTS

such distribution will generally be made to the unitholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective number of units they hold, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances to take into account the hurdle rates applicable to then-outstanding Wheels Up PI Units.

WUP will allocate its net income or net loss for each year to the unitholders pursuant to the terms of the Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, and its unitholders, including Wheels Up, will generally incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their share of any taxable income of WUP. Net income and losses of WUP generally will be allocated to unitholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective number of units they hold, subject to requirements under U.S. federal income tax law that certain items of income, gain, loss or deduction be allocated disproportionately in certain circumstances. To the extent WUP has available cash and subject to the terms of Wheels Up’s credit agreements and any other debt instruments, we intend to cause WUP to make generally pro rata distributions to its unitholders in an amount generally intended to allow the WUP unitholders to satisfy their respective income tax liabilities with respect to their allocable share of the income of WUP, based on certain assumptions and conventions, provided that the distribution will be sufficient to allow them to satisfy their respective actual tax liabilities.

Issuance of Equity

The A&R LLCA will provide that at any time Wheels Up issues a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock or any other equity security, the net proceeds received by Wheels Up with respect to such issuance, if any, will be concurrently invested in WUP, and WUP will issue to Wheels Up one common unit or other economically equivalent equity interest. Conversely, if at any time, any shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by us, WUP will redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire an equal number of common units held by Wheels Up, upon the same terms and for the same price, as the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired.

Wheels Up and MIP LLCs Expenses

Pursuant to the A&R LLCA, WUP is required to pay, or cause to be paid, all costs, fees, operating expenses and other expenses of Wheels Up (including the costs, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants or other professionals and the compensation of all personnel providing services to the Company) incurred in pursuing and conducting, or otherwise related to, its activities, including in its capacity as managing member of WUP. In addition, WUP or Wheels Up will be responsible for the ordinary and reasonable expenses incurred by Wheels Up MIP LLC and Wheels Up MIP RI LLC in connection with their continued existence and administration.

Dissolution

WUP will be dissolved only upon the first to occur of (i) an election by us to dissolve WUP, which election shall require the written consent of the holders of a majority of the profits interests then outstanding in Wheels Up MIP LLC and the written consent of the holders of a majority of the equity interests then outstanding in Wheels Up MIP RI LLC, (ii) WUP ceases to have any remaining members and (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution.

Background to the Business Combination

Aspirational is a blank check company incorporated on July 7, 2020, as a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The proposed Business Combination was the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction using the network, investing and operating experience of our management team, including our board of directors. The terms of the Merger Agreement were the result of extensive negotiations between Aspirational and WUP. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the proposed Business Combination and related transactions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On September 25, 2020, Aspirational completed its initial public offering of 22,500,000 Aspirational units which included the issuance of 22,500,000 Aspirational units at a price of $10.00 per unit, and on September 29, 2020, the underwriter of Aspirational’s initial public offering partially exercised its over-allotment option, and on October 2, 2020, purchased an additional 1,474,632 Aspirational units from Aspirational (the “Over-Allotment Purchase”), generating in the aggregate gross proceeds of $239,746,320 before transaction costs (including deferred underwriting expenses to be paid upon the completion of Aspirational’s initial business combination). Each Aspirational unit consisted of one Aspirational Class A ordinary share and one-third of one public warrant. Each public warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Aspirational Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering and the Over-Allotment Purchase, Aspirational completed the private sale of 4,333,333 and 196,617 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, respectively, to the Sponsor. The private placement warrants are the same as the public warrants, except that the private placement warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable by Aspirational so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the private placement warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by Aspirational and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants. In addition, the private placement warrants and their underlying securities will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the consummation of Aspirational’s initial business combination, subject to limited exceptions. In connection with Aspirational’s initial public offering, Connaught (UK) Limited (“Connaught”) acted as financial advisor to Aspirational, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) acted as capital markets advisor to Aspirational, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (“Skadden”) acted as U.S. legal advisor to Aspirational and Maples and Calder (“Maples”) acted as Cayman Islands legal advisor to Aspirational. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, Connaught and Credit Suisse acted as financial advisors to Aspirational. Connaught and Credit Suisse were not engaged to render, and did not render, a fairness opinion with respect to the Business Combination. Connaught and Credit Suisse each has not performed any services for WUP, and has not received any compensation from WUP, in each case, in the two-year period preceding the date that Aspirational and WUP entered into the Merger Agreement.

Since the completion of its initial public offering, Aspirational considered numerous potential target businesses with the objective of consummating its initial business combination. Representatives of Aspirational contacted and were contacted by numerous individuals and entities who presented ideas for business combination opportunities, including financial advisors and companies in the consumer and retail sectors, with a particular focus on luxury brands, wine & spirits, food & beverage, experiential retail, wellness and hospitality. Aspirational considered businesses that it believed had attractive long-term growth potential, were well-positioned within their industry and would benefit from the substantial intellectual capital, operational experience, and network of Aspirational’s management team. In the process that led to identifying WUP as an attractive investment opportunity, Aspirational’s management team reviewed over 100 potential business combination targets and made contact with representatives of more than 50 such potential combination targets to discuss the potential for a business combination transaction.

Beginning on September 30, 2020 and concluding on December 1, 2020, weekly meetings via video teleconference were held among members of Aspirational’s management team (including Ravi Thakran, Chief Executive Officer of Aspirational and Chairman of the Aspirational board of directors, Mark Bedingham, Vice Chairman of the Aspirational board of directors and Lisa Myers, President of Aspirational), certain of Aspirational’s advisors, and those of Aspirational’s directors who were able to attend such calls on any given occasion, as applicable, in order to discuss matters relating to Aspirational’s initial business combination. Such meetings were intended to allow Aspirational management and certain of Aspirational’s advisors to provide updates regarding the status of the evaluation of, and outreach to, potential business combination targets. Beginning on December 1, 2020, with the execution of the LOI (as defined below), and concluding on February 1, 2021, with the announcement of the business combination with WUP, regular phone calls and video teleconference meetings were held among Aspirational management and certain of Aspirational’s advisors in order to provide updates regarding the status of the potential business combination transaction with WUP, including with respect to the negotiation of definitive transaction documents, the due diligence review being conducted by Aspirational and its advisors, the status of the PIPE Investment and other related matters.

On October 26, 2020, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman”), acting as financial advisor to WUP and on behalf of WUP, contacted representatives of Aspirational regarding a potential business combination transaction with WUP.

On November 3, 2020, representatives of WUP management and Aspirational management held a meeting via video teleconference during which representatives of WUP management provided an initial management presentation regarding WUP and its business operations.

On November 10, 2020, Aspirational entered into a non-disclosure agreement with WUP. See the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements — Non-Disclosure Agreement” for additional information.

On November 11, 2020, representatives of Goldman, on behalf of WUP, e-mailed to representatives of Aspirational an initial form of non-binding draft term sheet in connection with a competitive process involving several special purpose acquisition companies and requested proposals with respect to a potential transaction.

On November 13, 2020, representatives of Connaught, on behalf of Aspirational, and representatives of Goldman, on behalf of WUP, held a meeting via teleconference to discuss the initial draft term sheet and valuation benchmarks, after which Goldman provided certain additional financial information related to WUP.

On November 16, 2020, representatives of Connaught, on behalf of Aspirational, e-mailed to representatives of Goldman, on behalf of WUP, a proposed non-binding term sheet setting forth the key terms with respect to the potential business combination. This proposed non-binding term sheet included a proposed pre-transaction equity valuation of $1.785 billion. The initial equity valuation with respect to the WUP business reflected in this initial non-binding term sheet was consistent with Aspirational management’s evaluation of the business, which was based on Aspirational management’s analysis of the projected revenue and earnings/losses to be generated by the business, as projected by WUP’s management, comparable companies in analogous markets and the business plan and other materials provided by WUP’s management (as further described below). The value of this opening non-binding proposal implied valuation multiples at a discount to those of comparable traded companies, but Aspirational management determined that it would be the starting point further negotiations.

On November 19, 2020, Scott A. Dahnke and Mr. Dichter held a meeting via teleconference to discuss, among other things, the reasons for a potential business combination between Aspirational and WUP.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

increased pre-transaction equity valuation of $1.885 billion, which remained consistent with Aspirational management’s evaluation of the business, and (ii) an earnout in favor of WUP equityholders consisting of up to 9,000,000 shares in three equal tranches to be issuable upon the achievement of share price thresholds of $12.50, $15.00 and $17.50, respectively. Mr. Dichter, Mr. Thakran and Mr. Dahnke subsequently held a call on the same day to discuss, among other things, WUP’s feedback on the proposed revised key terms and determined to proceed with a non-binding letter of intent.

On November 25, 2020, representatives of Connaught, on behalf of Aspirational, and representatives of Goldman, on behalf of WUP, held a meeting via teleconference to discuss process and timeline related to the non-binding letter of intent.

On November 25, 2020, representatives of Connaught, on behalf of Aspirational, e-mailed to representatives of Goldman, on behalf of WUP, a draft non-binding letter of intent (addressed to Mr. Dichter in his capacity as Founder and Chief Executive Officer of WUP), which included, subject to further due diligence, an initial pre-transaction equity value for the WUP business of $1.885 billion. This draft non-binding letter of intent also contemplated a PIPE Investment of up to $300 million, in the aggregate, with a right for WUP to increase the size of the PIPE Investment in its sole discretion.

From November 25, 2020 through December 1, 2020, representatives of Aspirational and WUP continued to discuss matters relating to the non-binding letter of intent, pursuant to multiple telephone conversations and e-mail exchanges between the parties, and multiple drafts of the non-binding letter of intent were exchanged.

During the meeting, members of Aspirational’s management team, including Mr. Thakran and Ms. Myers, supported by certain of Aspirational’s advisors, (i) provided the members of the Aspirational board of directors with additional background regarding WUP and its business, (ii) discussed the proposed terms of a potential business combination transaction involving Aspirational and WUP as expected to be reflected in a proposed final non-binding letter of intent, and reviewed the reasons for exploring a proposed transaction with WUP upon the terms set forth in the non-binding letter of intent, and (iii) reviewed the proposed valuation reflected in the non-binding letter of intent (which remained subject to due diligence), including the methodology used and the other considerations and assumptions underlying such valuation. Mr. Thakran also solicited questions and other feedback thereupon from the Aspirational board of directors (including with respect to proposed valuation and related considerations). After discussion, the Aspirational board of directors authorized the entering into of the proposed non-binding letter of intent with WUP.

On December 1, 2020, Mr. Thakran, on behalf of Aspirational, and Jason Horowitz, on behalf of WUP, executed the agreed final version of the non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) regarding a potential business combination transaction (subject to due diligence and negotiation of definitive agreements) involving Aspirational and WUP, which reflected a pre-transaction equity value for WUP of $1.885 billion, with no adjustment for WUP’s cash or debt (such amount, the “Base Purchase Price”), and which contemplated the aforementioned earnout structure. The total merger consideration would consist of a number of shares of newly issued common shares of Aspirational valued at $10.00 per share (consistent with Aspirational’s initial public offering price of $10.00 per share), equal to the Base Purchase Price divided by $10.00. In addition, the LOI contemplated that the structure of the transaction would be mutually agreed by the parties based on further tax structuring analysis and discussion and that Aspirational would re-domicile as a Delaware corporation prior to the consummation of the potential business combination transaction.

Pursuant to the LOI, the total size of the PIPE Investment was contemplated to be $360 million (subject to WUP’s unilateral right to increase), and each of Aspirational and WUP agreed to be subject to an exclusivity period from the date of the LOI until the earliest of (i) the parties’ mutual agreement in writing to terminate the obligations contained in the LOI and (ii) January 31, 2021 (with an agreement to

Also on January 14, 2021, representatives of A&P, on behalf of WUP, e-mailed to representatives of Skadden, on behalf of Aspirational, an initial draft of the WUP Holders Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, certain equityholders of WUP (collectively representing an amount of such types and classes of WUP equity securities sufficient to satisfy the approval requirements for the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement under WUP’s applicable governing documents) would agree to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding WUP equity interests held by them, adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Over the course of the following weeks, the parties continued to negotiate the terms of the WUP Holders Support Agreement, exchanging multiple drafts before an agreed final version of the WUP Holders Support Agreement was executed by the parties thereto on February 1, 2021. See “— Related Agreements — WUP Holders Support Agreement” for additional information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On January 27, 2021, representatives of Skadden, on behalf of Aspirational, and representatives of A&P, on behalf of WUP, held a meeting via teleconference to discuss certain other changes reflected in the most recent draft Merger Agreement circulated by Skadden.

On January 28, 2021, Aspirational’s board of directors held a meeting via video teleconference and representatives of Aspirational management, Skadden, Connaught and Credit Suisse joined the meeting. At this meeting, the Aspirational management provided an overview of the proposed business combination and WUP as the proposed business combination target (including the rationale for the combined business and the expected ownership structure of the combined company following the Closing), updated Aspirational’s board of directors regarding the substantially final negotiations of the terms of the proposed business combination and answered any questions from the board of directors. Aspirational’s board of directors, with the assistance of Skadden, discussed and reviewed the proposed business combination, including WUP as the proposed business combination target, the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the key ancillary agreements, the potential benefits of, and risks relating to the proposed business combination and the reasons for entering into the Merger Agreement and the proposed timeline for finalizing the definitive transaction agreements and announcing the proposed business combination.

On January 28, 2021, representatives of Skadden, on behalf of Aspirational, and representatives of A&P, on behalf of WUP, held a meeting via teleconference during which A&P previewed certain changes that would be reflected in the next draft of Merger Agreement circulated by A&P.

in advance of the meeting), the potential benefits of, and risks relating to the proposed business combination and the reasons for entering into the Merger Agreement. See “— Aspirational’s Board of Directors Reasons for the Business Combination” for additional information related to the factors considered by Aspirational’s board of directors in approving the Business Combination. Following additional discussion on these and related matters, Aspirational’s board of directors unanimously determined, among other things, that the BCA Proposal is fair to, advisable and in the best interests of Aspirational and recommended that its shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal.

On January 31, 2021, representatives of Skadden, on behalf of Aspirational, representatives of A&P, on behalf of WUP, and the legal advisors to certain of the Blockers, on behalf of such Blockers, held a meeting via teleconference to discuss the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, as reflected by the most recently circulated draft.

On January 31, 2021, representatives of WUP management and representatives of Aspirational management and Connaught held several meetings via teleconference to discuss the final terms of certain equity awards and transaction bonuses.

On February 1, 2021, Aspirational, WUP, Merger Sub, Blocker Sub, the Blocker Merger Subs and the Blockers executed the Merger Agreement. Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Aspirational also entered into the WUP Holders Support Agreement, the Sponsor Support Agreement, the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Delta Investor Rights Letter, in each case, with the applicable other parties thereto. See “— Related Agreements” for additional information.

On February 1, 2021, Aspirational and WUP issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement, which it filed with a Current Report on Form 8-K along with an investor presentation prepared by members of Aspirational’s and WUP’s management team and used in connection with meetings with the PIPE Investors as well as with existing Aspirational shareholders and other persons regarding WUP and the Business Combination.

Aspirational’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination

On January 31, 2021, the Aspirational board of directors (i) approved the Merger Agreement and related transaction agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) determined that the Business Combination is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and (iii) recommended that Aspirational’s shareholders approve and adopt the Business Combination. In evaluating the Business Combination and making these determinations and this recommendation, the Aspirational board of directors consulted with Aspirational’s senior management and considered a number of factors.

The Aspirational board of directors and management also considered the general criteria and guidelines that Aspirational believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses as described in the prospectus for Aspirational’s initial public offering. The Aspirational board of directors also considered that they could enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet those criteria and guidelines. In the prospectus for its initial public offering, Aspirational stated that it intended to focus primarily on acquiring one or more businesses with the following criteria and guidelines in part:

(i)

have a high quality and aspirational brand with an established consumer base and a leading presence in the markets in which they operate;

(ii)

are fundamentally sound but are underperforming their potential;

(iii)

are at an inflection point, such as requiring additional capital or expertise, where we believe we can drive improved financial performance;

(iv)

offer opportunities to enhance financial performance through organic initiatives and/or inorganic growth opportunities that we identify in our analysis and due diligence;

(v)

have the potential to further improve their performance from our management team’s knowledge of the target’s industry, proven operational strategies, and past experiences in scaling businesses;

124

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(vi)

have an international expansion plan as part of their overall growth strategy and can leverage our management team’s operational experience in global markets; and

(vii)

offer an attractive potential return for our shareholders, weighing potential growth opportunities and operational improvements in the target business against any identified downside risks.

In considering the Business Combination, the Aspirational board of directors determined that the Business Combination was an attractive business opportunity that met the vast majority of the criteria and guidelines above, although not weighted or in any order of significance.

Aspirational’s board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with their respective evaluations of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, Aspirational’s board of directors as a whole did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching their respective decisions. Individual members of Aspirational’s board of directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of Aspirational’s reasons for the board of directors’ approval of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In particular, the Aspirational board of directors considered the following factors:

•

WUP and the Business Combination. The Aspirational board of directors considered the following factors related to WUP and the Business Combination:

WUP’s Large and Expandable Addressable Market. The Aspirational board of directors believes that the private aviation market is ripe for disruption due to a number of factors. The industry was worth approximately $31 billion in 2020 and, through WUP’s technology-driven platform and efforts to democratize private aviation, the Aspirational board of directors believes the industry can expand to $80 billion by 2025. The average private aircraft remains idle 97% of the time, and the Aspirational board of directors believes that the shared economy will increase private aircraft asset utilization. As of 2020, experiences account for over 65% of individuals’ discretionary spending, and an estimated 90% of people who can afford to fly privately do not. The Aspirational board of directors believes that the growth in the experience economy will continue to increase consumer demand for private aviation and that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will increasingly validate private aviation as a smart means of travel as businesses and high-net-worth individuals emphasize wellness over cost.

125

TABLE OF CONTENTS

approach, consisting of (i) owned and leased, (ii) managed and (iii) third party network aircraft, to support the fulfillment of scaling demand. Further, the Aspirational board of directors believes WUP’s Avianis flight management system revolutionizes operators’ business through its cloud-based operating system and highly granular inventory management system. To meet the needs of the expanding consumer base, the Aspirational board of directors believes the Wheels Up App will provide an intuitive, powerful tool for managing customer experience, along with proprietary algorithms and data engines to benefit both operators and users. The Aspirational board of directors believes this technology-driven approach uniquely positions WUP as the most significant private aviation solution for both operators and consumers.

•

Best Available Opportunity. The Aspirational board of directors determined, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Aspirational, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for Aspirational based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and the Aspirational board of directors’ belief that such processes had not presented a better alternative.

•

Continued Ownership By Sellers. The Aspirational board of directors considered that WUP’s existing equityholders would be receiving a significant amount of Wheels Up Class A common stock in the proposed Business Combination and that 100% of the existing WUP equityholders are “rolling over” their existing equity interests of WUP into equity interests in Wheels Up. The existing WUP equityholders are expected to hold approximately 68.9% of the pro forma ownership of the combined company after Closing, assuming, as of immediately after the Business Combination, (i) none of Aspirational’s current public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) (A) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Restricted Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (B) the vesting and cashless net-exercise of all Wheels Up Options for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, (C) the vesting and exchange of all WUP

126

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on the basis of a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00 and (D) the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which, in the case of all shares described in clauses (A)-(D) hereof, in the aggregate equal 188,500,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, and (iii) Wheels Up issues 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment. Such percentages exclude the possible future issuance of any Wheels Up Class A common stock as earnout shares and in connection with the exercise of any Wheels Up warrants. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, including if Wheels Up Options are cash exercised, or if due to appreciation of Wheels Up Class A common stock following the Business Combination, WUP Profits Interests become exchangeable for a greater amount of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, the percentage ownership retained by WUP’s existing shareholders in the combined company will be different. Assuming that all Wheels Up Options are cash exercised and assuming that all WUP Profits Interests were exchanged for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock without regard to any hurdle amounts, an additional 30,496,210 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock could be issued. Certain WUP equityholders are also PIPE Investors.

Further, all of the proceeds to be delivered to the combined company in connection with the Business Combination (including from Aspirational’s trust account and from the PIPE Investment), are expected to remain on the balance sheet of the combined company after Closing in order to fund WUP’s existing operations and support new and existing growth initiatives. The Aspirational board of directors considered this as a strong sign of confidence in Wheels Up following the Business Combination and the benefits to be realized as a result of the Business Combination.

•

Investment by Third Parties. The Aspirational board of directors considered that certain third parties, including top-tier institutional investors, are also investing an additional $550.0 million in the combined company, in each case, pursuant to their participation in the PIPE Investment. The Aspirational board of directors considered this another strong sign of confidence in Wheels Up following the Business Combination and the benefits to be realized as a result of the Business Combination.

•

Results of Due Diligence. The Aspirational board of directors considered the scope of the due diligence investigation conducted by Aspirational’s senior management and outside advisors and evaluated the results thereof and information available to it related to WUP, including:

extensive virtual meetings and calls with WUP’s management team regarding its operations, projections and the proposed transaction; and

review of materials related to WUP and its business, made available by WUP, including consolidated financial statements, material contracts, key operating metrics and performance indicators, benefit plans, employee compensation and labor matters, intellectual property matters, real property matters, information technology, privacy and personal data, litigation information, private aviation matters and other regulatory and compliance matters and other legal and business diligence.

•

Terms of the Merger Agreement. The Aspirational board of directors reviewed and considered the terms of the Merger Agreement and the related agreements including the parties’ conditions to their respective obligations to complete the transactions contemplated therein and their ability to terminate such agreements under the circumstances described therein. See the section entitled “BCA Proposal” for detailed discussions of the terms and conditions of these agreements.

•

The Role of the Independent Directors. In connection with the Business Combination, Aspirational’s independent directors, Leo Austin, Neil Jacobs and Frank Newman, evaluated the proposed terms of the Business Combination, including the Merger Agreement and the related agreements, and unanimously approved, as members of the Aspirational board of directors, the Merger Agreement and the related agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination.

The Aspirational board of directors also identified and considered the following factors and risks weighing negatively against pursuing the Business Combination, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

127

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Potential Inability to Complete the Mergers. The Aspirational board of directors considered the possibility that the Business Combination may not be completed and the potential adverse consequences to Aspirational if the Business Combination is not completed, in particular the expenditure of time and resources in pursuit of the Business Combination and the loss of the opportunity to participate in the transaction. They considered the uncertainty related to the Closing, including due to closing conditions primarily outside of the control of the parties to the transaction (such as the need for shareholder approval and antitrust and any other applicable regulatory approval). The Merger Agreement and the Sponsor Support Agreement each also include exclusivity provisions that prohibit Aspirational, the Sponsor and certain of their respective affiliates from soliciting other business combination proposals on behalf of Aspirational, which restricts Aspirational’s ability to consider other potential business combinations until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Business Combination.

In addition, the Aspirational board of directors considered the risk that the current public shareholders of Aspirational would redeem their public shares for cash in connection with consummation of the Business Combination, thereby reducing the amount of cash available to Wheels Up following the consummation of the Business Combination and potentially requiring WUP to waive certain conditions under the Merger Agreement in order for the Business Combination to be consummated. The consummation of the Mergers is conditioned upon satisfaction of the Minimum Trust Condition, which is for the sole benefit of WUP. As of September 30, 2020, without giving effect to any future redemptions that may occur, the trust account had approximately $239.8 million in cash and investments. In September 2020, Aspirational invested the cash held in the trust account in Treasury securities and money market funds. Further, the Aspirational board of directors considered the risk that current public shareholders would exercise their redemption rights is mitigated because WUP will be acquired at an attractive aggregate purchase price.

•

WUP’s Business Risks. The Aspirational board of directors considered that Aspirational shareholders would be subject to the execution risks associated with Wheels Up if they retained their public shares following the Closing, which were different from the risks related to holding public shares of Aspirational prior to the Closing. In this regard, the Aspirational board of directors considered that there were risks associated with successful implementation of Wheels Up’s long-term business plan and strategy and Wheels Up realizing the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination on the timeline expected or at all, including due to factors outside of the parties’ control, such as the potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related macroeconomic uncertainty. The Aspirational board of directors considered that the failure of any of these activities to be completed successfully may decrease the actual benefits of the Business Combination and that Aspirational shareholders may not fully realize these benefits to the extent that they expected to retain the public shares following the completion of the Business Combination. For additional description of these risks, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

•

Post-Business Combination Corporate Governance. The Aspirational board of directors considered the corporate governance provisions of the Merger Agreement and the Proposed Organizational Documents and the effect of those provisions on the governance of the Company following the Closing.

Given that the existing equityholders of WUP will collectively control shares representing a majority of Wheels Up’s total outstanding shares of common stock upon completion of the Business Combination, and that the board of directors of Wheels Up will be classified following the Closing pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Organizational Documents, the existing equityholders of WUP may be able to elect future directors and make other decisions (including approving certain transactions involving Wheels Up and other corporate actions) without the consent or approval of any of Aspirational’s current shareholders, directors or management team. See the section entitled “Organizational Documents Proposals” for detailed discussions of the terms and conditions of the Proposed Organizational Documents.

•

Limitations of Review. The Aspirational board of directors considered that they were not obtaining an opinion from any independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price

128

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Aspirational is paying to acquire WUP is fair to Aspirational or its shareholders from a financial point of view. In addition, the Aspirational senior management and Aspirational’s outside counsel reviewed only certain materials in connection with their due diligence review of WUP. Accordingly, the Aspirational board of directors considered that Aspirational may not have properly valued such business.

•

No Survival of Remedies for Breach of Representations, Warranties or Covenants of WUP. The Aspirational board of directors considered that the terms of the Merger Agreement provide that Aspirational will not have any surviving remedies against WUP or its equityholders after the Closing to recover for losses as a result of any inaccuracies or breaches of the representations, warranties or covenants of WUP set forth in the Merger Agreement. As a result, Aspirational shareholders could be adversely affected by, among other things, a decrease in the financial performance or worsening of financial condition of WUP prior to the Closing, whether determined before or after the Closing, without any ability to reduce the number of shares to be issued in the Business Combination or recover for the amount of any damages. The Aspirational board of directors determined that this structure was appropriate and customary in light of the fact that several similar transactions include similar terms and the current equityholders of WUP will be, collectively, the majority equityholders in Wheels Up.

•

Litigation. The Aspirational board of directors considered the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

•

Fees and Expenses. The Aspirational board of directors considered the fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

•

Diversion of Management. The Aspirational board of directors considered the potential for diversion of management and employee attention during the period prior to the completion of the Business Combination, and the potential negative effects on WUP’s business.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Aspirational board of directors also considered that:

•

Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers. Aspirational’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and may be different from, the interests of Aspirational’s shareholders, as described in the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination.” However, Aspirational’s board of directors concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for Aspirational’s initial public offering and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Aspirational with any other target business or businesses, and (iii) a significant portion of the consideration to Aspirational’s directors and executive officers was structured to be realized based on the future performance of Wheels Up’s common stock. In addition, Aspirational’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during their evaluation of the Business Combination and in unanimously approving, as members of the Aspirational board of directors, the Merger Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination.

Based on its review of the forgoing considerations, the Aspirational board of directors concluded that the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination were outweighed by the potential benefits that it expects Aspirational shareholders will receive as a result of the Business Combination. The Aspirational board of directors realized that there can be no assurance about future results, including results considered or expected as disclosed in the foregoing reasons.

The preceding discussion of the information and factors considered by the Aspirational board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material factors considered by the Aspirational board of directors. In view of the complexity and wide variety of factors considered by the Aspirational board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Aspirational board of

129

TABLE OF CONTENTS

directors did not consider it practical to, nor did it attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the different factors that it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, in considering the factors described above, individual members of the Aspirational board of directors may have given different weight to different factors. The Aspirational board of directors considered this information as a whole and overall considered the information and factors to be favorable to, and in support of, its determinations and recommendations.

This explanation of the Aspirational board of directors’ reasons for its approval of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of WUP

WUP does not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections as to future revenue, earnings, financial condition, Active Members, Active Users, Live Flight Legs or other results. However, WUP’s senior management prepared and provided to WUP’s board of directors, WUP’s financial advisors and Aspirational certain internal, unaudited prospective financial information in connection with the evaluation of the business combination. WUP’s senior management prepared such financial information based on WUP’s senior management’s judgement and assumptions regarding the future financial performance of WUP. These financial projections were prepared solely for internal use in conjunction with bonus program target achievement determinations, strategic internal planning, annual budgeting, allocating resources, making operating decisions and other management purposes, and are therefore subjective in many respects and susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments, and were not intended for third party use, including by investors or holders. The inclusion of the below key elements of the forecasts provided to Aspirational should not be regarded as an indication that WUP, Aspirational, their respective boards of directors or their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives, or any other recipient of this information, considered — or now considers — such financial projections necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or to support or fail to support your decision whether to vote for or against the BCA Proposal.

The unaudited prospective financial information is subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the prospective results will be realized or that actual results will not be materially higher or lower than estimated. Since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, that information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.

WUP believes the assumptions in the prospective financial information were reasonable at the time the financial information was prepared, given the information WUP had at the time. While presented in this proxy statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the information set forth in the summary below reflects numerous estimates and assumptions including assumptions with respect to general business, economic, market, industry, regulatory and financial conditions and various other future events and factors, as well as matters specific to WUP’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond WUP’s and Aspirational’s control. The projections are forward-looking statements that are based on growth assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, as well as, among other things, matters related specifically to the recent operational performance and anticipated development of WUP’s business, many of which are beyond WUP’s control. The various risks and uncertainties include those set forth in the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, respectively.

The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. The unaudited prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for the preparation and presentation of financial forecasts but, in the view of WUP’s management, was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgments, and presents, to the best of WUP’s management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of WUP. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and

130

TABLE OF CONTENTS

readers of this proxy statement/prospectus, including investors or holders, are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information. You are cautioned not to rely on the projections in making a decision regarding the transaction, as the projections may be materially different than actual results. The financial projections should be evaluated, if at all, in conjunction with the historical financial statements and other information regarding WUP and Aspirational included in this proxy statement/prospectus and in Aspirational’s other filings with the SEC. The projections reflect the consistent application of accounting policies of WUP and should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies included in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of WUP included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The financial projections were requested by, and disclosed to, Aspirational for use as a component in its overall evaluation of WUP and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus on that account. WUP has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the financial projections to anyone, including Aspirational. None of WUP, Aspirational or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or other representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of WUP compared to the information contained in the financial projections, and none of them intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect the circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error. Accordingly, the financial projections should not be looked at as “guidance” of any sort. WUP and Aspirational will not refer back to these forecasts in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

Certain of the measures included in the prospective financial information may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as used by WUP may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. Financial measures provided to a financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures and therefore are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, WUP has not provided a reconciliation of the financial measures included in the prospective financial information to the relevant GAAP financial measures.

Furthermore, the prospective financial information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date that information was prepared. None of WUP’s independent registered public accounting firm, Aspirational’s independent registered public accounting firm or any other independent accountants, have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying prospective financial information and, accordingly, none of WUP, Aspirational or any of their independent auditors express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. The audit reports included in this proxy statement/prospectus relate to historical financial information. They do not extend to the prospective financial information and should not be read to do so. Nonetheless, a summary of the financial projections is provided in this proxy statement/prospectus because they were made available to Aspirational and the Aspirational board of directors in connection with their review of the proposed transaction.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, BY INCLUDING IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS A SUMMARY OF THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS FOR WUP, EACH OF ASPIRATIONAL AND WUP UNDERTAKES NO OBLIGATIONS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE OR REVISE, OR PUBLICLY DISCLOSE ANY UPDATE OR REVISION TO, THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS, INCLUDING UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OR THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR OR CHANGE.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the NYSE listing requirements that any business acquired by Aspirational have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the financial analysis of WUP generally used to approve the transaction and the pre-transaction equity valuation of $1.885 billion

132

TABLE OF CONTENTS

for WUP compared to the approximately $239.8 million in the trust account, the Aspirational board of directors determined that this requirement was met. The Aspirational board of directors determined that the consideration being paid in the Business Combination, which amount was negotiated at arms-length, were fair to and in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and appropriately reflected WUP’s value. In reaching this determination, the Aspirational board of directors concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation in part on qualitative factors such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, customer relationships, and technical skills, as well as quantitative factors such as its potential for future growth in revenue and profits. Aspirational’s board of directors believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition of WUP met this requirement.

The Sponsor (including its representatives and affiliates) and Aspirational’s directors and officers, are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to Aspirational. For example, Mr. Thakran, Mr. Bedingham and Ms. Myers, each of whom serves as an officer and/or director of Aspirational and/or may be considered an affiliate of the Sponsor, as applicable, have recently incorporated ASPL II, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination. Mr. Thakran is the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of ASPL II, Mr. Bedingham is the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of ASPL II and Ms. Myers is the Co-President of ASPL II, and each owes fiduciary duties to ASPL II under Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and officers are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to Aspirational completing its initial business combination. Moreover, certain of Aspirational’s directors and officers have time and attention requirements for investment funds of which affiliates of the Sponsor are the investment managers. Aspirational’s directors and officers also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to Aspirational, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties, including ASPL II. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in Aspirational’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to Aspirational, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands Companies Act. Aspirational’s Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that Aspirational renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer of Aspirational unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Aspirational and it is an opportunity that Aspirational is able to complete on a reasonable basis.

from the Sponsor. The Promissory Note will bear interest at a rate equal to 2.75% per annum and is unsecured and due and payable in full on the earlier of September 25, 2022 and the date Aspirational consummates its initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the trust account to repay such advances and any other working capital advances made to us, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay such advances and any other working capital advances made to us, and such related party may not be able to recover the value it has loaned us and any other working capital advances it may make.

•

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote. Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor and all of Aspirational’s directors holding Aspirational ordinary shares have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20.0% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Aspirational.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on our common stock (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or

135

TABLE OF CONTENTS

holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Aspirational will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Aspirational’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Aspirational’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

Interests of WUP’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

WUP’s executive officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Aspirational’s shareholders and warrant holders and of WUP’s holders generally. The members of the WUP board of directors were aware of and considered these interests to the extent that such interests existed at the time, among other matters, when they approved the Merger Agreement. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

WUP intends to forgive an outstanding loan with a principal amount of $5,000,000 made to Mr. Dichter, WUP’s founder and chief executive officer.

•

WUP’s directors and executive officers are entitled to continued indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage under the Merger Agreement.

•

Certain of WUP’s directors have subscribed for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in connection with the PIPE Investment. For additional information, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements — PIPE Subscription Agreements” and for more information regarding these directors’ individual subscriptions, see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — WUP — PIPE Investment.”

Equity-Based Compensation

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, equity incentive awards held by WUP’s directors and executive officers as of the Effective Time of the Business Combination will be treated as set forth in “— The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Treatment of WUP Options, Profits Interests and Restricted Interests” above. For more information regarding equity incentive awards held by certain executive officers and the non-employee directors of WUP, see “WUP Executive and Director Compensation.”

Accelerated Vesting of Equity Incentive Awards

In connection with the Business Combination, WUP’s board of directors has determined it to be advisable to partially accelerate the vesting of the service-based component of each equity incentive award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time such that each service-based vesting tranche (excluding the “second vesting sub-condition” applicable to the WUP Restricted Interest Awards) shall be rolled forward by 18 months, assuming the Closing occurs on April 30, 2021. If the Closing occurs after April 30, 2021, the foregoing roll-forward period will be reduced by the number of days from and including May 1, 2021 and the date the Closing occurs. As a result of this vesting acceleration, the applicable service-based vesting conditions (other than the “second vesting sub-condition” applicable to the WUP Restricted Interest Awards) that would otherwise have been deemed satisfied on or before October 31, 2022, will be deemed satisfied as of immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Business Combination. This accelerated vesting is being applied across-the-board with respect to all outstanding equity incentive awards and is intended to benefit all equity incentive award holders of WUP. After giving effect to the acceleration of service-based vesting, the other terms and conditions governing each such equity incentive award will continue to apply, including, without limitation, the “second vesting sub-condition” applicable to the WUP Restricted Interest Awards that are held by certain executive officers of WUP. This accelerated treatment will result in the following aggregate number and total value of equity incentive awards held by WUP’s directors and executive officers vesting upon the Closing (except for WUP Restricted Interest Awards, which will continue to be subject to the holder’s continued employment through the later to occur of (x) six months after the Closing and (y) 30 days after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period the (“second vesting sub-condition”)), assuming (a) Closing occurs on April 30, 2021, (b) a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock equal to $10.00 and (c) an exchange ratio of 0.4604 as of such date:

	WUP Options #/$	WUP Profits Interests #/$	WUP Restricted Interests #/$
Directors	275,000 / 309,079	150,000 / 182,116	N/A
Executive Officers	1,975,000 / 1,992,249	6,297,707 / 7,700,542	2,471,741 / 11,379,706

Executive Loan Forgiveness

In 2016, the WUP board of directors determined to incentivize Mr. Dichter, WUP’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, with additional equity in connection with his continued retention as Chief Executive Officer of WUP. Rather than provide newly issued equity interests which would have been dilutive to WUP’s equityholders, the WUP board of directors approved a loan to Mr. Dichter to fund the purchase of outstanding equity interests from a founding exeutive who was departing WUP. On January 20, 2016, WUP loaned Mr. Dichter the principal amount of $5,000,000. Prior to the Closing Date of the Business Combination, WUP will forgive the amount of the principal and accrued interest on the loan. WUP anticipates that the amount of forgiveness will result in Mr. Dichter recognizing approximately $5.5 million of compensation, and Mr. Dichter will, at the time of such forgiveness, pay to WUP approximately $2.5 million so that it may satisfy its tax withholding obligations with respect to such compensation. For additional information, see “WUP Executive and Director Compensation — Executive Loan.”

Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, Wheels Up will indemnify certain persons, including WUP’s directors and executive officers. In addition, for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time, Wheels Up will maintain an insurance policy for the benefit of

137

TABLE OF CONTENTS

certain persons, including WUP’s directors and executive officers. For additional information, see “— The Merger Agreement — Covenants and Agreements — Covenants of Aspirational” above.

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Aspirational will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of WUP issuing stock for the net assets of Aspirational, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Aspirational will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. For financial reporting purposes, WUP will be presented as the predecessor to Aspirational.

WUP has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:

•

WUP equityholders will have the largest voting interest in the post-combination company;

•

The board of directors of the post-combination company will have 11 members, and WUP will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors;

•

WUP management will hold executive management roles (including Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, among others) for the post-combination company and be responsible for the day-to-day operations;

•

The post-combination company will assume the “Wheels Up” name; and

•

The intended strategy of the post-combination entity will continue WUP’s current strategy of being a leader in the private aviation industry.

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC, certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the two filings of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. On February 16, 2021 Aspirational and WUP filed the required forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Business Combination with the Antitrust Division and the FTC and requested early termination.

vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Broker non-votes will not be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum, as we believe all proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary, and will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The BCA Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the BCA Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2021 by and among Aspirational, WUP, Merger Sub, Blocker Sub, the Blocker Merger Subs and the Blockers, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, pursuant to which, among other things, following the Domestication of Aspirational to the State of Delaware, (i) the Blockers will simultaneously merge with and into the respective Blocker Merger Subs, with the Blockers surviving each merger as wholly owned subsidiaries of Aspirational, (ii) thereafter, the surviving Blockers will simultaneously merge with and into Blocker Sub, with Blocker Sub surviving each merger, and (iii) thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into WUP, with WUP surviving the merger, with Aspirational as its managing member, in each case in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement be approved and ratified in all respects.”

Recommendation of Aspirational’s Board of Directors

THE ASPIRATIONAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE ASPIRATIONAL SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BCA PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Aspirational’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Aspirational’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

139

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

Overview

Following the Business Combination, Wheels Up may not be owned by an entity domiciled outside of the United States consistent with federal laws relating to foreign ownership of U.S. air carriers. Accordingly, it would not be possible to consummate the Business Combination consistent with such laws unless Aspirational were to change its domicile to a State within the United States prior to or concurrently with the consummation of the transaction. The Merger Agreement provides that Aspirational will change its domicile to Delaware as a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, if the BCA Proposal is approved, then Aspirational is asking its shareholders to approve the Domestication Proposal. Under the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Mergers. If, however, the Domestication Proposal is approved, but the BCA Proposal is not approved, then neither the Domestication nor the Mergers will be consummated.

As a condition to Closing the Mergers, the board of directors of Aspirational has unanimously approved a change of Aspirational’s jurisdiction by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. In accordance with Aspirational’s Plan of Domestication (included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part), to effect the Domestication, Aspirational will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which Aspirational will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding Aspirational warrant will convert automatically into a Wheels Up warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, and (iv) each of the then issued and outstanding units of Aspirational that have not been previously separated into the underlying Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and underlying Aspirational warrants upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock and one-third of one Wheels Up warrant.

The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will approve a change of Aspirational’s jurisdiction from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while Aspirational is currently governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act, upon the Domestication, Wheels Up will be governed by the DGCL. We encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under the section entitled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” Additionally, we note that if the Domestication Proposal is approved, then Aspirational will also ask its shareholders to approve the Organizational Documents Proposals (as discussed below), which, if approved, will replace Aspirational’s current memorandum and articles of association under the Cayman Islands Companies Act with a new certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Wheels Up under the DGCL. The Proposed Organizational Documents differ in certain material respects from the Cayman Constitutional Documents and we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under the section entitled “Organizational Documents Proposals,” the Cayman Constitutional Documents of Aspirational, attached hereto as Annex K and the Proposed Organizational Documents of Wheels Up, attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D.

Reasons for the Domestication

Our board of directors believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of our domicile to Delaware. Further, our board of directors believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation.

140

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The board of directors of Aspirational believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders. As explained in more detail below, these reasons can be summarized as follows:

•

Prominence, Predictability, and Flexibility of Delaware Law. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as ours.

•

Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance. There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a company’s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. We believe such clarity would be advantageous to Wheels Up, its board of directors and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for Wheels Up’s stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

•

Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors. Reincorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers, and stockholders alike. Wheels Up’s incorporation in Delaware may make Wheels Up more attractive to future candidates for our board of directors, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experience. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates’ familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws — especially those relating to director indemnification (as discussed below) — draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. Our board of directors therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable Wheels Up to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for our stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, we believe that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman law on matters regarding a company’s ability to limit director liability. As a result, we believe that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable the surviving corporation to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Domestication

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and financial statements of Wheels Up immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of Aspirational immediately prior to the Domestication.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Broker non-votes will not be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum, as we believe all proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary, and will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that the Company be de-registered in the Cayman Islands pursuant to Article 47 of the Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company (as amended) and be registered by way of continuation as a corporation in the State of Delaware.”

Recommendation of the Aspirational Board of Directors

THE ASPIRATIONAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ASPIRATIONAL SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Aspirational’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Aspirational’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS

If the Domestication Proposal is approved and the Business Combination is to be consummated, Aspirational will replace the current amended and restated memorandum of association of Aspirational under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (the “Existing Memorandum”) and the current articles of association of Aspirational (as may be amended from time to time) (the “Existing Articles” and, together with the Existing Memorandum, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”), in each case, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, with a proposed new certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Certificate of Incorporation”) and proposed new bylaws (the “Proposed Bylaws” and, together with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the “Proposed Organizational Documents”) of Wheels Up, in each case, under the DGCL.

Aspirational’s shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to approve by special resolution four separate proposals (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”) in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents. The Organizational Documents Proposals are conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposals will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The Proposed Organizational Documents differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents. The following table sets forth a summary of the principal changes proposed between the Existing Memorandum and the Existing Articles and the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws for Wheels Up. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Cayman Constitutional Documents of Aspirational, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex K, the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and the complete text of the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. All shareholders are encouraged to read each of the Proposed Organizational Documents in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. Additionally, as the Cayman Constitutional Documents are governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the Proposed Organizational Documents are governed by the DGCL, we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out under the section entitled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL A — APPROVAL OF AUTHORIZATION OF CHANGE TO AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK, AS SET FORTH IN THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal A — to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of Aspirational from (i) 500,000,000 Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Aspirational (the “Aspirational preferred shares”) to (ii) 2,500,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Wheels Up preferred stock.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are (i) 23,974,632 Aspirational Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, (ii) 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding and (iii) no Aspirational preferred shares issued and outstanding. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is an aggregate of (x) 7,991,544 public warrants and 4,529,950 private placement warrants of Aspirational, in each case, issued and outstanding. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, the Aspirational warrants will be exercisable after giving effect to the Business Combination for one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. No Aspirational warrants are exercisable until 30 days after the Closing.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (and exclusive of any participation in the PIPE Investment), Wheels Up will issue to WUP equityholders 188,500,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock assuming (i) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Restricted Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (ii) the vesting and cashless net-exercise of all Wheels Up Options for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, (iii) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Profits Interests for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock and (iv) the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock as the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the PIPE Investment, Wheels Up will issue 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors. Assuming that all Wheels Up Options are cash exercised and assuming that all WUP Profits Interests were exchanged for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock without regard to any hurdle amounts, an additional 30,496,210 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock could be issued.

In order to ensure that Wheels Up has sufficient authorized capital for future issuances, Aspirational’s board of directors has approved, subject to stockholder approval, that the Proposed Organizational Documents of Wheels Up change the authorized capital stock of Aspirational from (i) 500,000,000 Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 Aspirational preferred shares to (ii) 2,500,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Wheels Up preferred stock.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively. All stockholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for the Amendments

The principal purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized capital structure of Wheels Up that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by the DGCL. Our board of directors believes that it is important for us to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support our growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Organizational Documents Proposal A requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general

meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Organizational Documents Proposal A is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal A will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL B — APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL REGARDING ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK OF WHEELS UP AT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ SOLE DISCRETION, AS SET FORTH IN THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal B — to authorize the board of directors of Wheels Up to issue any or all shares of Wheels Up preferred stock in one or more classes or series, with such terms and conditions as may be expressly determined by Wheels Up’s board of directors and as may be permitted by the DGCL.

Assuming each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is approved, our shareholders are also being asked to approve Organizational Documents Proposal B, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of Wheels Up after the Business Combination.

If Organizational Documents Proposal A is approved, the number of authorized shares of preferred stock of Wheels Up will be 25,000,000 shares. Approval of this Organizational Documents Proposal B will allow for the issuance of any or all of these shares of preferred stock from time to time at the discretion of the board of directors, as may be permitted by the DGCL, and without further stockholder action. The shares of preferred stock would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans, pursuant to which we may provide equity incentives to employees, officers and directors, and in certain instances may be used as an antitakeover defense.

Reasons for the Amendments

Our board of directors believes that these additional shares will provide us with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future in a timely manner and under circumstances we consider favorable without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

Authorized but unissued preferred stock may enable the board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Wheels Up and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of Wheels Up and its securities. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, the board of directors was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interests of Wheels Up, such preferred stock could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. Allowing Wheels Up’s board of directors to issue the authorized preferred stock on its own volition will enable Wheels Up to have the flexibility to issue such preferred stock in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. Wheels Up currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized stock for such purposes.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Organizational Documents Proposal B requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL C — APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL REGARDING ESTABLISHMENT OF A CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AS SET FORTH IN THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal C — to provide that Wheels Up’s board of directors be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term.

Assuming each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is approved, our shareholders are also being asked to approve Organizational Documents Proposal C, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of Wheels Up after the Business Combination.

If Organizational Documents Proposal C is approved, Wheels Up’s board of directors would reclassify. The term of office of the Class I directors will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the board of directors and Class I directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification, the term of office of the Class II directors will expire and Class II directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification, the term of office of the Class III directors will expire and Class III directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors, any vacancy occurring in Wheels Up for any reason, and any newly created directorship resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, will, unless (i) Wheels Up’s board of directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders or (ii) as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders.

Reasons for the Amendments

Our board of directors believes that a classified board of directors in the best interest of Wheels Up because it is designed to assure the continuity and stability of Wheels Up’s leadership and policies by ensuring that at any given time a majority of the directors will have prior experience with Wheels Up and, therefore, will be familiar with our business and operations. Our board of directors also believes that this classification will assist Wheels Up in protecting the interests of our stockholders in the event of an unsolicited offer for Wheels Up by encouraging any potential acquirer to negotiate directly with Wheels Up’s board of directors.

This proposal may increase the amount of time required for a takeover bidder to obtain control of Wheels Up without the cooperation of Wheels Up’s board of directors, even if the takeover bidder were to acquire a majority of the voting power of Wheels Up’s outstanding voting stock. Without the ability to obtain immediate control of Wheels Up’s board of directors, a takeover bidder will not be able to take action to remove other impediments to its acquisition of Wheels Up. Thus, this amendment could discourage certain takeover attempts, perhaps including some takeovers that stockholders may feel would be in their best interests. Further, this amendment will make it more difficult for stockholders to change the majority composition of Wheels Up’s board of directors, even if the stockholders believe such a change would be desirable. Because of the additional time required to change the control of Wheels Up’s board of directors, this amendment could be viewed as tending to perpetuate present management.

Although this proposal could make it more difficult for a hostile bidder to acquire control over Wheels Up, our board of directors believes that by forcing potential bidders to negotiate with Wheels Up’s board of

150

TABLE OF CONTENTS

directors for a change of control transaction, Wheels Up’s board of directors will be better able to maximize stockholder value in any change of control transaction.

Our board of directors is not aware of any present or threatened third-party plans to gain control of Wheels Up, and this proposal is not being recommended in response to any such plan or threat. Rather, our board of directors is recommending this proposal as part of its review of Wheels Up’s key governance mechanisms in connection with the Business Combination and to assist in assuring fair and equitable treatment for all of Wheels Up’s stockholders in hostile takeover situations. The Aspirational board of directors has no present intention of soliciting a stockholder vote on any other proposals relating to a possible takeover of Wheels Up.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Organizational Documents Proposal C requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Organizational Documents Proposal C is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal C will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL D — APPROVAL OF OTHER CHANGES IN CONNECTION WITH ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal D — to authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively), including (i) changing the corporate name from “Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp.” to “Wheels Up Experience Inc.” in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) making Wheels Up’s corporate existence perpetual, (iii) adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation, (iv) restricting the ability of persons that are not “Citizens of the United States” to own more than 25% of the voting power of Wheels Up, (v) being subject to the provisions of Section 203 of DGCL and (vi) removing certain provisions related to Aspirational’s status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination, all of which Aspirational’s board of directors believes is necessary to adequately address the needs of Wheels Up after the Business Combination.

Assuming each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is approved, our shareholders are also being asked to approve Organizational Documents Proposal D, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of Wheels Up after the Business Combination.

The Proposed Organizational Documents stipulate that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless Wheels Up consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that such court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for any claims made by any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on Wheels Up’s behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of Wheels Up to Wheels Up or Wheels Up’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against Wheels Up, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Bylaws or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation (as either may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action asserting a claim against Wheels Up, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine or (v) any action asserting an “internal corporate claim” as that term is defined in Section 115 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Similarly, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

The Proposed Organizational Documents restrict the voting of shares of Wheels Up capital stock by non-U.S. Citizens. The restrictions imposed by federal law currently require that no more than 25% of Wheels Up stock be voted, directly or indirectly, by persons who are not U.S. Citizens. The Proposed Bylaws provide that if the number of shares of capital stock owned or controlled by non-U.S. Citizens exceed 25% of the voting power of Wheels Up capital stock (the “Ownership Threshold”), the voting rights of the capital stock owned or controlled by non-U.S. Citizens and not registered on a separate stock record (the “Foreign Stock Record”) at the time of any vote or action will be suspended. The suspension of voting power will be terminated upon the earlier of (a) the shares are transferred to a U.S. Citizen and (b) the registration of the shares on the Foreign Stock Record. It will be the duty of each Wheels Up stockholder that is not a U.S. Citizen to register his, her or its shares of capital stock as a non-U.S. Citizen. If the number of shares on the Foreign Stock Record exceeds the Ownership Threshold, each stockholder with capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record will have their voting rights suspended on a pro rata basis such that the voting rights afforded to the stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record is equal to the Ownership Threshold. The voting rights will be reinstated once the voting rights of the capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record does not exceed the Ownership Threshold, not taking into consideration the pro rata reduction.

152

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Proposed Organizational Documents do not contain provisions related to a blank check company (including those related to operation of the trust account, winding up of Aspirational’s operations should Aspirational not complete a business combination by a specified date, and other such blank check-specific provisions as are present in the Cayman Constitutional Documents) because following the consummation of the Business Combination, Wheels Up will not be a blank check company.

Approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, assuming approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals, will result, upon the Domestication, in the wholesale replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with Wheels Up’s Proposed Organizational Documents. While certain material changes between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents have been unbundled into distinct organizational documents proposals or otherwise identified in this Organizational Documents Proposal D, there are other differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and Proposed Organizational Documents (arising from, among other things, differences between the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the DGCL and the typical form of organizational documents under each such body of law) that will be approved (subject to the approval of the aforementioned related proposals and consummation of the Business Combination) if our shareholders approve this Organizational Documents Proposal D. Accordingly, we encourage shareholders to carefully review the terms of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws, attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, as well as the information provided in the “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Reasons for the Amendments

Corporate Name

Our board of directors believes that changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp.” to “Wheels Up Experience Inc.” is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with WUP and to clearly identify Wheels Up as the publicly traded entity.

Perpetual Existence

Our board of directors believes that making Wheels Up’s corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect the Business Combination. Additionally, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and our board of directors believes that it is the most appropriate period for Wheels Up following the Business Combination.

Exclusive Forum

Adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation is intended to assist Wheels Up in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. Our board of directors believes that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that after the Domestication, Wheels Up will be incorporated in Delaware. Delaware law generally applies to such matters and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes, which help provide relatively quick decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware’s corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This provides stockholders and the post-combination company with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions; provided that these exclusive forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

153

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, this amendment would promote judicial fairness and avoid conflicting results, as well as make the post-combination company’s defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery.

Restrictions on Non-U.S. Ownership

Wheels Up will be subject to U.S. federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines. The restrictions imposed by federal law currently require that no more than 25% of Wheels Up stock be voted, directly or indirectly, by persons who are not U.S. Citizens, and that the chief executive officer, president, at least two-thirds of the officers of Wheels Up and at least two-thirds of the members of the board of directors of Wheels Up be U.S. Citizens. In order to comply with such federal law, the Proposed Organizational Documents restrict the ability of shares of Wheels Up stock to be voted by or at the direction of non-U.S. Citizens unless such shares are registered on the Foreign Stock Record. If the number of shares on the Foreign Stock Record exceeds 25%, each stockholder with capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record will have their voting rights suspended on a pro rata basis such that the voting rights afforded to the capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record is equal to 25% of the total voting power of Wheels Up capital stock. The voting rights will be reinstated once the voting rights of the capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record does not exceed 25% of the total voting power of Wheels Up capital stock, not taking into consideration the pro rata reduction. Our board of directors has determined that including such restrictions in the Proposed Organizational Documents is necessary to comply with U.S. federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines.

DGCL 203

Wheels Up will be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. Section 203 is a default provision of the DGCL that prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with “interested stockholders” (a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock) for three years following the date that person becomes an interested stockholder, unless: (i) before such stockholder becomes an “interested stockholder,” the board of directors approves the Business Combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time of the transaction (excluding stock owned by certain persons); or (iii) at the time or after the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the board of directors and at least two-thirds of the disinterested outstanding voting stock of the corporation approves the transaction. While Section 203 is the default provision under the DGCL, the DGCL allows companies to opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL by including a provision in their certificate of incorporation expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. Our board of directors has determined to be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL.

Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company

The elimination of certain provisions related to Aspirational’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, the Proposed Organizational Documents do not include the requirement to dissolve Wheels Up and allows it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and Aspirational’s board of directors believes it is the most appropriate period for Wheels Up following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in Aspirational’s current certificate require that proceeds from Aspirational’s initial public offering be held in the trust account until a business combination or liquidation of Aspirational has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Proposed Organizational Documents.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Organizational Documents Proposal D requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares

represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Organizational Documents Proposal D is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals.

Recommendation of the Aspirational Board of Directors

THE ASPIRATIONAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ASPIRATIONAL SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Aspirational’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Aspirational and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Aspirational’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as an Aspirational shareholder.

STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

Overview

The Stock Issuance Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, assuming the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Director Election Proposal are approved, for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Section 312.03 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to (a) the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (b) the WUP Equityholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement (we refer to this proposal as the “Stock Issuance Proposal”).

Assuming the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Director Election Proposal are approved, Aspirational’s shareholders are also being asked to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Stock Issuance Proposal.

Reasons for the Approval for Purposes of the NYSE Listing Rule 312.03

Pursuant to Section 312.03(c) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in any transaction or series of related transactions if: (i) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the common stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. Additionally, under Section 312.03(d) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant. Upon the consummation of the Mergers, Aspirational expects to issue up to an estimated 227,996,210 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in connection with the Business Combination and 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in connection with the PIPE Investment. For further details, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Aggregate Merger Consideration.”

Accordingly, the aggregate number of shares of Wheels Up common stock that Aspirational will issue in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment will exceed 20% of both the voting power and the shares of Wheels Up common stock outstanding before such issuance and may result in a change of control of the registrant under Section 312.03(d) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, and for these reasons, Aspirational is seeking the approval of Aspirational shareholders for the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment.

In the event that this proposal is not approved by Aspirational shareholders, the Business Combination cannot be consummated. In the event that this proposal is approved by Aspirational shareholders, but the Merger Agreement is terminated (without the Business Combination being consummated) prior to the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the PIPE Investment, such shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock will not be issued.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Broker non-votes will not be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum, as we believe all proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary, and will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Stock Issuance Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Stock Issuance Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

The Equity Incentive Plan Proposal — Aspirational is asking its shareholders to approve the 2021 Plan. The Aspirational board of directors adopted the 2021 Plan on January 31, 2021, subject to the approval from its shareholders. Aspirational is seeking approval of the 2021 Plan (i) in order for incentive stock options to meet the requirements of the Code and (ii) in order to comply with the NYSE listing rules. If approved, the 2021 Plan will become effective upon the Closing and will be used by Wheels Up following the Business Combination.

The 2021 Plan is intended to be a vital component of Wheels Up’s compensation program following the consummation of the Business Combination and the primary equity plan Wheels Up uses to grant equity-based incentive awards to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The board of directors of Aspirational believes that granting equity awards under the 2021 Plan will serve to align the interests of the key service providers of Wheels Up and its subsidiaries with Wheels Up’s stockholders, and that it would be in the best interests of Wheels Up and its stockholders to make such grants.

The statements made in this proposal concerning the terms and provisions of the 2021 Plan are summaries and do not purport to be a complete recitation of the 2021 Plan provisions. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by express reference to the full text of the 2021 Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex E and is incorporated herein by reference.

Key Provisions of the 2021 Plan

•

The 2021 Plan will continue in effect for a term of ten years from the date the Aspirational board of directors adopted the 2021 Plan and will terminate on January 31, 2031 unless earlier terminated by the Wheels Up board of directors or stockholders.

•

The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive options, nonstatutory options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, performance awards, cash awards or any combination of the foregoing.

•

The 2021 Plan may be administered by Wheels Up’s board of directors, its compensation committee or a similar committee comprised of at least two non-employee directors.

Summary of the Material Terms of the 2021 Plan

Purpose

The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to enhance long-term profitability and stockholder value by offering Wheels Up Class A common stock and common stock-based and other performance incentives to those employees, directors and consultants who are key to Wheels Up’s growth and success. Aspirational also views the 2021 Plan as a vehicle to attract and retain experienced employees and to align employees’ economic incentives with those of Wheels Up’s stockholders.

Administration of the 2021 Plan

The 2021 Plan may be administered by Wheels Up’s board of directors, its compensation committee or a similar committee comprised of at least two non-employee directors (in each case, the “Administrator”). The Administrator has exclusive authority to grant awards under the 2021 Plan and to make all interpretations and determinations affecting the 2021 Plan. The Administrator will have the discretion to determine the individuals to whom awards are granted, the amount of each award, any applicable vesting schedule and other terms of any award.

160

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Eligible Participants

Participation in the 2021 Plan is limited to Wheels Up’s employees, consultants, advisors, independent contractors and directors. The Administrator will select the employees, consultants, advisors, independent contractors and directors who will be granted awards under the 2021 Plan in its discretion on the basis of and as consideration for their service to Wheels Up and Wheels Up’s eligible affiliates, as applicable. Following the Closing, Wheels Up is expected to have approximately 2,161 employees, 95 consultants, advisors and independent contractors and 10 non-employee directors.

Number of Shares Available for Issuance

The maximum number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock initially reserved and available for issuance under the 2021 Plan is equal to 27,346,829 shares, all of which are available for issuance pursuant to incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code or as other types of awards. If any stock award under the 2021 Plan is forfeited, expires or otherwise terminates, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full (or vested in the case of restricted stock or restricted stock units), the stock not acquired under such stock award reverts to and again becomes available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, common stock that is withheld from an award to pay the exercise price with respect to such award or to pay a participant’s tax obligations with respect to an award shall not again be available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, the closing price of Aspirational Class A common stock as reported on the NYSE was $ per share.

Award Limitations on Non-Employee Director Awards

The maximum number of shares subject to awards granted to a non-employee director during a single calendar year, taken together with any cash fees or other compensation paid during the calendar year to the non-employee director in respect of the director’s service as a member of the Wheels Up board of directors, will not exceed $375,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the grant date fair value of such awards for financial reporting purposes).

Change in Control Provisions

The 2021 Plan provides that Wheels Up may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the timing of the exercise or vesting provisions of any award in the event of (i) the adoption of a plan of merger or consolidation under which a majority of the shares of common stock would be converted into or exercised for cash or securities of any other corporation or entity, or (ii) a sale or exchange of all or any portion of Wheels Up’s assets or equity securities.

Alternatively, Wheels Up may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of participants, provide for one or more of the following in the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, sale of all or any portion of Wheels Up’s assets or capital stock, including, but not limited to, a “going-private” transaction: (i) the assumption of the 2021 Plan and outstanding awards by the surviving entity; (ii) the substitution by the surviving entity of awards with substantially the same terms for such outstanding awards; (iii) notice to the holders of vested and exercisable stock options and stock appreciation rights of their ability to exercise such vested and exercisable awards prior to the transaction, followed by the cancellation of all unexercised awards (whether or not then vested and exercisable); (iv) settlement of the intrinsic value of outstanding vested awards in cash or cash equivalents or equity followed by the cancellation of all such awards (whether or not then vested or exercisable); and (v) cancellation of all unvested or unexercisable awards. However, in the event that awards are either assumed or substituted, the awards will continue to vest or become exercisable pursuant to the terms of the original award, except to the extent such terms are otherwise rendered inoperative.

Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.

The 2021 Plan requires the Administrator to make any appropriate adjustments to the 2021 Plan and to any outstanding awards to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, extraordinary cash dividends and similar events, including, but not limited to, appropriate adjustments to the number, class and price of shares that are subject to outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan.

161

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amendment to the 2021 Plan and Awards

Wheels Up’s board of directors at any time, and from time to time, may amend the 2021 Plan. However, no amendment will be effective unless approved by Wheels Up’s stockholders to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Code, any federal or state law or regulation or any securities exchange listing requirements. Further, no award under the 2021 Plan may be amended or cancelled for the purpose of repricing, replacing or regranting such award with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original award unless otherwise approved by stockholders.

Termination of the 2021 Plan

Wheels Up board of directors or stockholders may terminate the 2021 Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the 2021 Plan currently terminates on January 31, 2031. No stock awards may be granted under the 2021 Plan after it is terminated.

Clawback/Recovery

Unless an award agreement specifies otherwise, the Administrator may cancel any unexpired, unpaid, unexercised or deferred award at any time if the participant is not in compliance with the applicable provisions of the award agreement and the 2021 Plan, including certain restrictive covenants. Furthermore, the Administrator may require a participant to return to and/or reimburse Wheels Up for an award and/or shares issued under an award, and any proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of shares issued under an award, pursuant to the terms of Wheels Up’s “clawback” or similar policy as necessary or appropriate to comply with the regulations or listing standards adopted pursuant to Section 10D of the Exchange Act that may be in effect from time to time.

Types of Awards

Stock Options

A stock option is the right to purchase shares of common stock at a fixed exercise price for a fixed period of time. The 2021 Plan permits the granting of (i) options to purchase common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and (ii) options that do not so qualify. Stock options granted under the 2021 Plan will be non-statutory stock options if they fail to qualify as incentive stock options or exceed the annual limit on incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of Wheels Up and its subsidiaries. Non-statutory stock options may be granted to any persons eligible to receive incentive stock options and to non-employee directors and consultants. The Administrator determines the exercise price and additional terms of stock options. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by the Administrator but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Fair market value for this purpose will be the last reported closing sales price of the shares of Wheels Up’s common stock on the NYSE on the valuation date, or, if none, the closing sales price on the most recent trade date immediately prior to the valuation date. The exercise price of a stock option may not be reduced after the date of the stock option grant, other than to appropriately reflect changes in Wheels Up’s capital structure.

The term of each stock option will be fixed by the Administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The Administrator will determine at what time or times each stock option may be exercised. Stock options may be made exercisable in installments and the exercisability of options may be accelerated by the Administrator. Upon exercise of stock options, the option exercise price must be paid in full in such form as the Administrator will provide (or as permitted by Section 422 of the Code in the case of incentive stock options). To qualify as incentive stock options, stock options must meet additional federal tax requirements, including a $100,000 limit on the value of shares subject to incentive stock options that first become exercisable by a participant in any one calendar year.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

The Administrator has the authority to grant awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units pursuant to the terms of an award agreement. Each award agreement will be in such form and will contain

162

TABLE OF CONTENTS

such terms and conditions as the Administrator will deem appropriate. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with Wheels Up through a specified restricted period. During the vesting period, awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units may be credited with dividend equivalent rights, but dividend equivalents payable with respect to awards with vesting tied to the attainment of performance criteria shall not be paid unless and until such performance conditions are attained.

Performance Awards

These awards may be denominated in either cash or shares and are subject to the achievement of performance goals set over performance periods, as established by the Administrator.

Other Awards

In addition, the 2021 Plan provides for awards in the form of stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards and cash awards.

Pilot Award Program

Following the Closing, subject to applicable securities laws requirements, it is expected that the Wheels Up board of directors will implement a special pilot award program, pursuant to which a special one-time equity grant will be made under the 2021 Plan to pilots flying the Wheels Up controlled fleet of aircraft (inclusive of all Wheels Up operating subsidiaries) who are full-time employees at the time of the grant.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards

The following is general summary as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus of the federal income tax consequences to Wheels Up and to U.S. participants for awards granted under the 2021 Plan. The summary does not purport to be legal or tax advice. The federal tax laws may change and the federal, state and local tax consequences for any participant will depend upon his or her individual circumstances. Tax consequences for any particular individual may be different.

Incentive Stock Options

For federal income tax purposes, the holder of an incentive stock option receives no taxable income at the time of the grant or exercise of the incentive stock option. If such person retains the common stock for a period equal to the longer of at least two years after the option is granted and one year after the option is exercised, any gain upon the subsequent sale of the common stock will be taxed as a long-term capital gain. A participant who disposes of shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option prior to the expiration of two years after the option is granted or one year after the option is exercised will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price and fair market value of the share on the exercise date (or, if less, the excess of the amount realized on the disposition of the shares over the exercise price). If the amount realized on the disposition of the common stock is greater than the common stock’s fair market value on the date of exercise and the capital gain holding period has been satisfied, the excess of the gain will be subject to long-term capital gain treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date of an incentive stock option is an adjustment in computing the holder’s alternative minimum taxable income and may be subject to an alternative minimum tax which is paid if such tax exceeds the regular tax for the year.

Non-Statutory Stock Options

A participant who receives a non-statutory stock option with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date generally will not realize taxable income on the grant of such option but will realize ordinary income at the time of exercise of the option equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of shares would be capital gain or loss. Any taxable income

163

TABLE OF CONTENTS

recognized in connection with an option exercise by an employee or former employee of the company is subject to tax withholding by Wheels Up.

Restricted Stock

A restricted stock award is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code to the extent the award will be forfeited in the event that the participant ceases to provide services to Wheels Up. As a result of this substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will not recognize ordinary income at the time of award. Instead, the participant will recognize ordinary income on the dates when the stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or when the stock becomes transferable, if earlier. The participant’s ordinary income is measured as the difference between the amount paid for the stock, if any, and the fair market value of the stock on the date the stock is no longer subject to forfeiture. The participant may accelerate his or her recognition of ordinary income, if any, and begin his or her capital gains holding period by timely filing an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to a restricted stock award. In such event, the ordinary income recognized, if any, is measured as the difference between the amount paid for the stock, if any, and the fair market value of the stock on the date of award, and the capital gain holding period commences on such date. The ordinary income recognized by an employee or former employee will be subject to tax withholding by Wheels Up.

Restricted Stock Units

There are generally no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of restricted stock units under the 2021 Plan. A participant who is awarded restricted stock units will generally be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of shares issued to such participant at the end of the restriction period or, if later, the payment date, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Section 409A

Section 409A of the Code provides that non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements must meet certain requirements to avoid additional income taxes for those deferring compensation, including providing that distributions must be made on or following the occurrence of certain events (e.g., the individual’s separation from service, a predetermined date, or the individual’s death). Awards granted under the 2021 Plan are intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A; however, Wheels Up makes no representations or warranties to that effect.

New Plan Benefits

As of the date hereof, no awards have been granted under the 2021 Plan, and because the grant of awards under the 2021 Plan is within the discretion of the Administrator, Wheels Up cannot determine the dollar value or number of shares of Wheels Up’s common stock that will in the future be received by or allocated to any participant in the 2021 Plan. The value of future grants under the 2021 Plan will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of Wheels Up Class A common stock on future dates, the exercise decisions made by the participants and the extent to which any applicable performance goals necessary for vesting or payment are achieved.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

As of December 31, 2020, Aspirational had no compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which equity securities of Wheels Up were authorized for issuance.

Registration with the SEC

If the 2021 Plan is approved by Aspirational’s shareholders and becomes effective, Wheels Up intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan as soon as reasonably practicable after Wheels Up becomes eligible to use such form.

Vote Required for Approval

If the BCA Proposal is not approved, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Aspirational common stock, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which quorum is present at the Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote at the Special Meeting and broker non-votes will have no effect on the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal. Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will have no effect on the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.

Resolution

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal allows Aspirational’s board of directors to submit a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to permit further solicitation of proxies and votes and to provide additional time for the Sponsor and WUP and their respective stockholders to make purchases of ordinary shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting. See the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination.”

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented to the extraordinary general meeting and is not approved by the shareholders, Aspirational’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Broker non-votes will not be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum, as we believe all proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary, and will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon any other proposal.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting be approved.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to Aspirational shareholders of Class A ordinary shares and warrants of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights. This section applies only to Aspirational shareholders that hold their Class A ordinary shares or warrants as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or status including:

•

financial institutions or financial services entities;

•

broker-dealers;

•

taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules;

•

tax-exempt entities;

•

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

•

insurance companies;

•

regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

•

expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

•

persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares or five percent or more of the total value of all classes of our shares, except as specifically discussed under the caption heading “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders”;

•

persons that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

•

persons that hold our securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

•

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•

controlled foreign corporations; or

•

passive foreign investment companies.

This discussion is based on the Code, proposed, temporary and final Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. This discussion does not address U.S. federal taxes other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation.

We have not and do not intend to seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the Domestication or an exercise of redemption rights. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our securities through such entities. If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or warrants, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding any Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or warrants and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication and an exercise of redemption rights to them.

167

TABLE OF CONTENTS

U.S. HOLDERS

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or warrants who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation (or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•

a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.

Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication will depend primarily upon whether the domestication qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a reorganization is a “mere change in identity, form, or place of organization of one corporation, however effected” (an “F Reorganization”). Pursuant to the Domestication, Aspirational will change its jurisdiction from the Cayman Islands to Delaware.

It is intended that the Domestication qualify as an F Reorganization. Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, U.S. Holders of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or warrants generally should not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the Domestication, except as provided below under the caption headings “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders” and “— PFIC Considerations,” and the Domestication should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if Aspirational (i) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to Wheels Up in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock and warrants of Wheels Up; and (ii) then distributed the common stock and warrants of Wheels Up the holders of securities of Aspirational in liquidation of Aspirational. The taxable year of Aspirational will be deemed to end on the date of the Domestication.

Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to any redemption of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of U.S. Holders’ redemption rights, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. All holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to their public shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights.

Basis and Holding Period Considerations

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization: (i) the tax basis of a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrant received by a U.S. Holder in the Domestication will equal the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Aspirational Class A ordinary share or warrant surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder as a result of Section 367 of the Code (as discussed below) and (ii) the holding period for a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrant received by a U.S. Holder will include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Aspirational Class A ordinary share or warrant surrendered in exchange therefor.

Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders

Section 367 of the Code applies to certain transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in an F Reorganization. Section 367 of the Code imposes U.S. federal income tax on certain U.S. persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-free. Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders on the date of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to any redemption of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares

168

TABLE OF CONTENTS

pursuant to the exercise of U.S. Holders’ redemption rights, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Domestication.

“U.S. Shareholders” of Aspirational

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Aspirational stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Aspirational stock (a “U.S. Shareholder”) must include in income as a dividend “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the Aspirational Class A ordinary shares it directly owns, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code. A U.S. Holder’s ownership of Aspirational warrants will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a U.S. Shareholder. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder is a U.S. Shareholder and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A U.S. Shareholder’s all earnings and profits amount with respect to its Aspirational Class A ordinary shares is the net positive earnings and profits of Aspirational (as determined under Treasury Regulations under Section 367) attributable to such Aspirational Class A ordinary shares (as determined under Treasury Regulations under Section 367) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such Aspirational Class A ordinary shares. Treasury Regulations under Section 367 provide that all earnings and profits amount attributable to a shareholder’s stock is determined according to the principles of Section 1248 of the Code. In general, Section 1248 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder provide that the amount of earnings and profits attributable to a block of stock (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1248 of the Code) in a foreign corporation is the ratably allocated portion of the foreign corporation’s earnings and profits generated during the period the shareholder held the block of stock.

Aspirational does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative net earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication. If Aspirational’s cumulative net earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication is less than or equal to zero, then a U.S. Holder should not be required to include in gross income an all earnings and profits amount with respect to its Aspirational Class A ordinary shares. It is possible, however, that the amount of Aspirational’s cumulative net earnings and profits may be greater than expected through the date of the Domestication, in which case a U.S. Shareholder would be required to include all of its all earnings and profits amount in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulations under Section 367 as a result of the Domestication.

U.S. Holders that Own Less Than 10% of Aspirational

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a U.S. Shareholder and who beneficially owns (actually or constructively) Aspirational Class A ordinary shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its Class A ordinary shares in the Domestication or, in the alternative, may elect to recognize all earnings and profits amount (described above) attributable to such holder’s Aspirational Class A ordinary shares.

Unless a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits election” as described below, such U.S. Holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to Wheels Up Class A common stock received in the Domestication in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such Wheels Up Class A common stock over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Aspirational Class A ordinary shares deemed surrendered in exchange therefor.

In lieu of recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income all earnings and profits amount attributable to its Aspirational Class A ordinary shares under Section 367(b). There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

(i)

a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange (within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations);

(ii)

a complete description of the Domestication;

169

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(iii)

a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

(iv)

a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(v)

a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from Aspirational establishing and substantiating the U.S. Holder’s all earnings and profits amount with respect to the U.S. Holder’s Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified Aspirational (or Wheels Up) that the U.S. Holder is making the election; and

(vi)

certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations.

In addition, the election must be attached by an electing U.S. Holder to such U.S. Holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the year of the Domestication, and the U.S. Holder must send notice of the election to Aspirational or Wheels Up no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, Aspirational intends to provide each U.S. Holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding Aspirational’s earnings and profits upon request.

Aspirational does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication and if that proves to be the case, U.S. Holders who make this election are not expected to have a significant income inclusion under Section 367(b) of the Code, provided that the U.S. Holder properly executes the election and complies with the applicable notice requirements. However, as noted above, if it were determined that Aspirational had positive earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, a U.S. Holder that makes the election described herein could have an all earnings and profits amount with respect to its Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, and thus could be required to include that amount in income as a deemed dividend under applicable Treasury Regulations as a result of the Domestication.

U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THIS ELECTION AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO AN ELECTION.

U.S. Holders that Own Aspirational Class A Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively) Aspirational Class A ordinary shares with a fair market value less than $50,000 should not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication, and generally should not be required to include any part of all earnings and profits amount in income.

Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders of Warrants

Subject to the considerations described above relating to a U.S. Holder’s ownership of warrants being taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a U.S. Shareholder for purposes of Section 367(b) of the Code, and the considerations described below relating to PFIC considerations, a U.S. Holder of warrants should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the exchange of warrants for newly issued warrants in the Domestication.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE EFFECT OF SECTION 367 OF THE CODE TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

PFIC Considerations

In addition to the discussion under the heading “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders” above, the Domestication could be a taxable event to U.S. Holders under the PFIC provisions of the Code.

170

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Definition of a PFIC

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (generally determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year) are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. For purposes of these rules, interest income earned by Aspirational would be considered passive income and cash held by Aspirational would be considered a passive asset.

PFIC Status of Aspirational

Based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, Aspirational believes that it will likely be considered a PFIC for its current taxable year.

Effects of PFIC Rules on the Domestication

As discussed above, Aspirational believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (which, for this purpose, includes exchanging warrants for newly issued warrants in the Domestication) recognizes gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. However, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code have been promulgated with a retroactive effective date. If finalized in their current form, those proposed Treasury Regulations may require U.S. Holders to recognize gain on their Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and warrants upon the Domestication if:

(i)

Aspirational were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in such Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or warrants, and

(ii)

the U.S. Holder had not timely made (a) a QEF Election (as defined below) for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder owned such Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or in which Aspirational was a PFIC, whichever is later (or a QEF Election along with a purging election), or (b) a mark-to-market election (as defined below) with respect to such Aspirational Class A ordinary shares. Generally, regulations provide that neither election is available with respect to warrants. The tax on any such recognized gain would be imposed based on a complex set of computational rules designed to offset the tax deferral with respect to the undistributed earnings of Aspirational.

Under these rules:

•

the U.S. Holder’s gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such U.S. Holder’s Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or warrants;

•

the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which Aspirational was a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

•

the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s holding period would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

•

an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of such U.S. Holder.

Any all earnings and profits amount included in income by a U.S. Holder as a result of the Domestication (discussed under the heading “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders” above) generally would be treated as gain subject to these rules.

171

TABLE OF CONTENTS

It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply. Therefore, U.S. Holders of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares that have not made a timely QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or a mark-to-market election (each as defined below) may, pursuant to the proposed Treasury Regulations, be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules on the Domestication with respect to their Aspirational Class A ordinary shares and warrants under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above. An Electing Shareholder (as defined below) generally would not be subject to the adverse PFIC rules discussed above with respect to their Aspirational Class A ordinary shares but rather would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of Aspirational, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed.

The application of the PFIC rules to Aspirational warrants is unclear. A proposed Treasury Regulation issued under the PFIC rules generally treats an “option” (which would include an Aspirational warrant) to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, while a final Treasury Regulation issued under the PFIC rules provides that neither the QEF Election nor the mark-to-market election (as defined below) is currently available with respect to options. Therefore, it is possible that the proposed Treasury Regulations if finalized in their current form would apply to cause gain recognition on the exchange of Aspirational warrants for Wheels Up warrants pursuant to the Domestication.

Any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares or warrants as a result of the Domestication pursuant to PFIC rules would be taxable income to such U.S. Holder, taxed under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above, with no corresponding receipt of cash.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF THE PFIC RULES ON THE DOMESTICATION, INCLUDING THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL TREASURY REGULATIONS.

QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares (but not warrants) will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat Aspirational as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares during which Aspirational qualified as a PFIC (a “QEF Election”) or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. Holder made a QEF Election along with a purging election. One type of purging election creates a deemed sale of the U.S. Holder’s Aspirational Class A ordinary shares at their then fair market value, and subjects any gain recognized pursuant to this election to the special PFIC tax and interest charge rules described above. As a result of this election, the U.S. Holder would have additional basis (to the extent of any gain recognized in the deemed sale) and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, a new holding period in its Aspirational Class A ordinary shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances (including a separate “deemed dividend” purging election that may be available if we are a controlled foreign corporation). A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) with respect to Aspirational is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by Aspirational of a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” to such U.S. Holder. We will endeavor to provide such information to a U.S. Holder of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares, upon request, with respect to its taxable year that ended on December 31, 2020, and in the future. There is no assurance, however, that Aspirational will timely provide such information. A U.S. Holder that made a QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) is referred to herein as an “Electing Shareholder” and a U.S. Holder that did not make a QEF Election is referred to herein as a “Non-Electing Shareholder.” As discussed further above, a U.S. Holder is not able to make a QEF Election with respect to Aspirational warrants.

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares may also depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made an election under Section 1296 of the Code. U.S. Holders who hold (actually or constructively) stock of a foreign corporation that is classified as a PFIC may annually elect to mark such stock to its market value if such stock is “marketable stock,” generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including the NYSE, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price

172

TABLE OF CONTENTS

represents a legitimate and sound fair market value (a “mark-to-market election”). No assurance can be given that the Aspirational Class A ordinary shares are considered to be marketable stock for purposes of the mark-to-market election or that the other requirements of this election are satisfied. If such an election is available and has been made, such U.S. Holders will generally not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed herein. However, if the mark-to-market election is made by a Non-Electing Shareholder after the beginning of its holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to Class A ordinary shares. A mark-to-market election is not available with respect to warrants.

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION (OR A QEF ELECTION ALONG WITH A PURGING ELECTION), A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION, AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares (which were exchanged for Wheels Up Class A common stock in the Domestication) that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for all or a portion of its Wheels Up Class A common stock will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Wheels Up Class A common stock redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of such U.S. Holder’s Wheels Up Class A common stock redeemed, such U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or capital loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Wheels Up Class A common stock redeemed.

The redemption of Wheels Up Class A common stock will generally qualify as a sale of the Wheels Up Class A common stock redeemed if such redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the redeeming U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of such U.S. Holder’s interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to such U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

For purposes of such tests, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only Wheels Up Class A common stock actually owned by such U.S. Holder, but also shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that are constructively owned by such U.S. Holder. A redeeming U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to Wheels Up Class A common stock owned directly, Wheels Up Class A common stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which such U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any Wheels Up Class A common stock such U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Wheels Up Class A common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

The redemption of Wheels Up Class A common stock will generally be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a redeeming U.S. Holder if the percentage of Wheels Up outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owns immediately after the redemption is less than 80% of the percentage of Wheels Up outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owned immediately before the redemption. Prior to our initial business combination the Class A ordinary shares may not be treated as voting shares for this purpose and, consequently, this substantially disproportionate test may not be applicable. There will be a complete termination of such U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the Wheels Up Class A common stock actually or constructively owned by such U.S. Holder is redeemed or (ii) all of the Wheels Up Class A common stock actually owned by such U.S. Holder is redeemed and such U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of the Wheels Up Class A common stock owned by certain family members and such U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other Wheels Up shares. The redemption of Wheels Up Class A common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of

173

TABLE OF CONTENTS

such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Wheels Up. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances applicable to it. The IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the above tests is satisfied, a redemption will be treated as a distribution with respect to the Wheels Up Class A common stock. Such distribution will generally be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of Wheels Up’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of any such earnings and profits will generally be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its other Wheels Up Class A common stock (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such redeemed shares. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the Wheels Up Class A common stock redeemed will generally be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Wheels Up Class A common stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other Wheels Up Class A common stock constructively owned by such U.S. Holder.

Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Domestication (discussed further above).

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF A REDEMPTION OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR WHEELS UP CLASS A COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

NON-U.S. HOLDERS

As used herein, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of public shares or warrants that is not a U.S. Holder.

Effects of the Domestication to Non-U.S. Holders

We do not expect the Domestication to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. Holders of Wheels Up Class A common stock and warrants.

The following describes U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of Wheels Up Class A common stock and warrants by a non-U.S. Holder after the Domestication.

Distributions

In general, any distributions made to a non-U.S. Holder with respect to Wheels Up Class A common stock, to the extent paid out of Wheels Up’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder), will be subject to withholding tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Wheels Up Class A common stock and then, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of such Wheels Up Class A common stock, which will be treated as described under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Wheels Up Common Stock and Warrants” below.

Dividends paid by Wheels Up to a non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder)

174

TABLE OF CONTENTS

will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders. If the non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Wheels Up Class A common stock and Warrants

A non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on a sale or other disposition of Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrants unless:

(i)

such non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition and certain other requirements are met, in which case any gain realized will generally be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax;

(ii)

the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of such non-U.S. Holder in the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder), in which case such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders, and any such gain of a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty); or

(iii)

Wheels Up is or has been a U.S. real property holding corporation at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period and either (A) the Wheels Up Class A common stock has ceased to be regularly traded on an established securities market or (B) such non-U.S. Holder has owned or is deemed to have owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period, more than 5% of outstanding Wheels Up Class A common stock.

If the third bullet point above applies to a non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such non-U.S. holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrants will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of such Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrants from a non-U.S. Holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. We will be classified as a U.S. real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests and our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Wheels Up does not expect to be classified as a U.S. real property holding corporation immediately following the Business Combination. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change and no assurance can be provided as to whether Wheels Up will be a U.S. real property holding corporation with respect to a non-U.S. holder following the Business Combination or at any future time.

Effects to Non-U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a non-U.S. Holder of Wheels Up Class A common stock that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for all or a portion of its Wheels Up Class A common stock will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Wheels Up Class A common stock redeemed, as described above under “U.S. Holders — Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights.” If such a redemption qualifies as a sale of Wheels Up Class A common stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the non-U.S. Holder will be as described above under “Non-U.S. Holders — Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Wheels Up Class A common stock and Warrants.” If such a redemption does not qualify as a sale of Wheels Up Class A common stock, the non-U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described above under “Non-U.S. Holders — Distributions.” Because the treatment of a redemption may not be certain or determinable at the time of redemption, redeemed non-U.S. Holders may be subject to

175

TABLE OF CONTENTS

withholding tax on the gross amount received in such redemption. Non-U.S. Holders may be exempt from such withholding tax if they are able to properly certify that they meet the requirements of an applicable exemption (e.g., because such non-U.S. Holders are not treated as receiving a dividend under the Section 302 tests described above under “U.S. Holders — Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights”).

Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends on and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Wheels Up Class A common stock. A non-U.S. Holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise establish an exemption in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements or to claim a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a non-U.S. Holder will generally be allowed as a credit against such non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished by such non-U.S. Holder to the IRS in a timely manner.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of securities (including Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrants) which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrants are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrants held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the Treasury. All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in Wheels Up Class A common stock or warrants.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Aspirational is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

Aspirational is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Aspirational was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 7, 2020. On September 25, 2020, Aspirational consummated its initial public offering of 23,974,632 units, inclusive of 1,474,632 units sold to the underwriters’ on October 2, 2020 upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $239.7 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, Aspirational consummated the sale of 4,333,333 private placement warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant generating gross proceeds of $6.5 million. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 196,617 Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $0.3 million.

The proceeds from the initial public offering and the private placement with the Sponsor has been deposited in the trust account and invested in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) having a maturity of 185 days or less in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. As of December 31, 2020, there was approximately $239.8 million held in the trust account. Aspirational has 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering (by September 25, 2022) to complete a business combination.

WUP is a Delaware limited liability company formed on July 1, 2013. WUP and its consolidated subsidiaries operate a leading private aviation business that strives to deliver a total private aviation solution.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 combines the historical balance sheet of Aspirational and the historical balance sheet of WUP on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical statements of operations of Aspirational and WUP for the period on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented:

•

the merger of Merger Sub with and into WUP, with WUP surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aspirational;

•

the issuance and sale of 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at $10.00 per share in the PIPE Investment;

•

the conversion of all issued and outstanding WUP preferred interests and WUP common interests, into Wheels Up Class A common stock as well as shares underlying WUP Options that will roll over into the post-combination company totaling 188,500,000 shares; and,

•

the issued and outstanding WUP Profit Interests and WUP Restricted Interests that are recapitalized in connection with the Business Combination as Rollover Profits Interests Awards and Rollover Restricted Interest Awards, respectively, and can be exchanged on a value-for-value basis for Wheels Up Class A common stock subject to vesting. As of the time of the Business Combination, the value relating to the Rollover Profits Interests Awards and Rollover Restricted Interest Awards represents 15,418,327 shares if the exchange rights were fully exercised using a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the post-combination company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

The historical financial information of Aspirational was derived from the audited financial statements of Aspirational as of December 31, 2020, and for the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of WUP was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of WUP as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with Aspirational’s and WUP’s audited financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “Aspirational’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “WUP’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, Aspirational is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of WUP issuing stock for the net assets of Aspirational, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or intangible assets are recorded. For financial reporting purposes, WUP will be presented as the predecessor to Aspirational.

WUP has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:

•

WUP equityholders will have the largest voting interest in the post-combination company;

•

The board of directors of the post-combination company will have 11 members, and WUP will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors;

•

WUP management will hold executive management roles (including Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, among others) for the post-combination company and be responsible for the day-to-day operations;

•

The post-combination company will assume the WUP name as Wheels Up Experience Inc.; and,

•

The intended strategy of the post-combination entity will continue WUP’s current strategy of being a leader in the private aviation industry.

(A)

(B)

Assuming Maximum Redemption: This presentation assumes 11,974,632 of the public shares are redeemed for their pro rata share of the funds in the trust account. This scenario gives effect to Aspirational’s public shareholder redemptions of 11,974,632 shares for aggregate redemption payments of $119.7 million and is based on the Minimum Trust Condition that Aspirational will have a minimum of $120.0 million in cash comprising the cash held in the trust account after giving effect to Aspirational public shareholder redemptions (but prior to the payment of any (i) deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and (ii) transaction expenses of WUP or Aspirational) at or prior to the Closing Date. The Minimum Trust Condition is waivable by WUP, and if so, waived by WUP, the maximum amount of redemptions could exceed the 11,974,632 public share redemption scenario presented herein.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Description of the Business Combination

The aggregate consideration for the Business Combination will be $1.9 billion based on the pre-money equity value of WUP, payable in the form of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock and the conversion of existing equity awards into corresponding equity awards of Wheels Up and WUP, as applicable.

The following summarizes the consideration in both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios (in thousands, except for share and per share data):

Shares transferred at Closing(1)		188,500
Value per share	$	10.00
Total share consideration(2)	$	1,885,000

(1)

Includes (i) 169,023,943 shares expected to be issued to existing holders of WUP common interests and WUP preferred interests, (ii) 4,057,729 shares underlying the Wheels Up Options that are included as part of the consideration assuming a cashless net-exercise of all Wheels Up Options for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, (iii) 10,755,952 shares underlying the Wheels Up PI Units assuming such units convert at their intrinsic value to shares immediately after the Business Combination at a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, and (iv) 4,662,376 shares underlying the Wheels Up RI Units.

(2)

Share Consideration is calculated using a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00. Actual total share consideration will be dependent on the value of Wheels Up Class A ordinary shares at Closing.

Holders of WUP equity interests will receive shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in an amount determined by application of the Exchange Ratio of 0.4604, which is based on WUP’s implied price per share prior to the Business Combination.

The following summarizes the pro forma combined common stock ownership as of immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination under each scenario (in thousands):

	Assuming No Redemption		%		Assuming Maximum Redemption		%
WUP equityholders(1)(2)		173,082		63.3%		173,082		66.2%
Non-controlling interest(3)		10,756		3.9%		10,756		4.1%
WUP restricted interests(4)		4,662		1.7%		4,662		1.8%
Aspirational’s public shareholders(5)		23,975		8.8%		12,000		4.6%
Sponsor & related parties		5,994		2.2%		5,994		2.3%
PIPE Investors		55,000		20.1%		55,000		21.0%
Pro forma Wheels Up Class A common stock at Closing		273,469		100.0%		261,494		100.0%

(1)

Includes 169,023,943 shares expected to be issued to existing holders of WUP common interests and WUP preferred interests. Also, includes 4,057,729 shares underlying the Wheels Up Options that are included as part of the consideration assuming a cashless net-exercise of all Wheels Up Options for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00.

(2)

The number of outstanding shares held by WUP equityholders excludes 9,000,000 of Earnout Shares. After the consummation of the Business Combination, WUP equityholders, other than in respect of WUP Options, will have the contingent right to receive Earnout Shares. The aggregate number of Earnout Shares is up to 9,000,000 additional shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock. Earnout shares vest in three equal tranches which are issuable upon the achievement of share price thresholds for Wheels Up Class A common stock of $12.50, $15.00 and $17.50, respectively. The issuance of any

179

TABLE OF CONTENTS

such Earnout Shares would further increase the common stock ownership percentage of WUP equityholders and would dilute the common stock ownership of all other shareholders.

(3)

Includes 10,755,952 shares that would be issuable to existing WUP Profits Interests holders upon the exchange of all such interests for Wheels Up Class A common stock at a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00.

(4)

Includes 4,662,376 shares that would be issuable to existing WUP Restricted Interests holders upon the exchange of all such interests for Wheels Up Class A common stock at a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00.

(5)

The number of outstanding shares held by Aspirational’s public shareholders excludes 12,521,494 warrants sold in the initial public offering and the private placement. The warrants would further increase the common stock ownership percentage of Aspirational’s public shareholders and would dilute the common stock ownership of all other shareholders.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available, and assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

1. Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, Aspirational is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of WUP issuing stock for the net assets of Aspirational, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or intangible assets are recorded. For financial reporting purposes, WUP will be presented as the predecessor to Aspirational.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflects the pro forma effect of the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2020. These periods are presented on the basis of WUP as the accounting acquirer.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

Aspirational’s historical audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and the related notes for the period ended December 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•

WUP’s historical audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

Aspirational’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•

WUP’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Aspirational has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Aspirational believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Aspirational believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations

or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Aspirational and WUP.

2. Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two companies’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the post-combination company. Based on initial analysis, management has identified differences on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and recorded the necessary adjustments.

3. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The historical audited consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to reflect the transaction in accordance with GAAP and give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Business Combination, and (ii) factually supportable. WUP and Aspirational have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the post-combination company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are based upon the number of the post-combination company’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2020.

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:

(A)

Reflects the reclassification of $239.8 million of marketable securities held in the trust account at the balance sheet date that becomes available to fund expenses in connection with the Business Combination or future cash needs of the post-combination company, assuming no redemptions.

(B)

Represents the gross proceeds from the private placement of 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at $10.00 per share pursuant to the PIPE Investment.

(C)

Reflects the payment of $8.4 million of deferred underwriting fees. The fees are expected to be paid at Closing out of the trust account.

(D)

Represents acquisition-related transaction costs totaling $58.4 million (all of which is expected to be classified as equity issuance costs). The transaction costs are $20.5 million for Aspirational and $37.9 million for WUP. The total amount of transaction costs may vary if additional agreements are entered into prior to the Closing. With respect to Aspirational, the transaction costs exclude any deferred underwriting fees and accrued offering costs.

(E)

Reflects the reclassification of 22,620,218 Aspirational Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to Wheels Up Class A common stock in permanent equity.

(F)

Represents the recapitalization of WUP common interests (excluding WUP common interests subject to WUP awards), WUP preferred interests, WUP Options and WUP Restricted Interests in connection with the Business Combination, including the merger consideration of 189,953,705 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to be received by the holders of such interests and

185

TABLE OF CONTENTS

options, assuming (i) the vesting and exchange of all WUP Restricted Interest for shares of Wheels Up class A common stock and (ii) the vesting and cash exercise of all Wheels Up Options for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00.

(G)

Reflects the conversion of Aspirational Class B ordinary shares held by the initial shareholders to Aspirational Class A ordinary shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, all Aspirational Class B ordinary shares outstanding prior to the Domestication will be converted into shares of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares at the Closing. All of the Aspirational Class B ordinary shares converted into Aspirational Class A ordinary shares will no longer be outstanding and will cease to exist, and each holder of such Aspirational Class B ordinary shares will thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities.

(H)

Reflects the elimination of Aspirational’s historical accumulated deficit with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in-capital.

(I)

Reflects the redemption of 11,974,632 public shares for aggregate redemption payments of $119.7 million allocated to Wheels Up Class A common stock and additional paid-in capital using par value $0.0001 per share and at a redemption price of $10.00 per share. The actual redemption amount could exceed the 11,974,632 public shares if WUP waives the Minimum Trust Condition.

(J)

Reflects WUP Profits Interests, after conversion into Wheels Up PI Units initially held by MIP LLC, regardless of whether all such WUP Profits Interests are vested as of the Closing, with substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such interests immediately prior to the Effective Time. Wheels Up PI Units once fully vested, will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, subject to certain lock-up restrictions. Assuming a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00, the Wheels Up PI Units as of immediately following the Business Combination will be exchangeable for 10,755,952 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock.

(K)

Represents adjustments to reflect applicable deferred income taxes. The deferred taxes are primarily related to the difference between the financial statement carrying amount and tax basis in the WUP partnership interest but also includes tax attributes (including net operating losses and charitable contribution carryforwards) inherited from the Blockers. This basis difference primarily results from: (i) the Business Combination where Wheels Up will record a carryover tax basis in the WUP partnership interest and (ii) certain pre-transaction financial statement and tax differences in various items including depreciation, amortization and deferred revenue.

The $73.7 million (or $72.8 million assuming maximum redemptions) adjustment related to the deferred tax asset is assuming: (1) the GAAP balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 adjusted for the pro forma entries described herein, (2) estimated tax basis as of December 31, 2020 adjusted for the pro forma entries described herein, and (3) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 4.2%. Based on the weight of all positive and negative evidence, it was determined that the deferred tax asset is not more-likely-than-not to be realized. As such, a full valuation allowance was recorded under both redemption scenarios.

WUP files as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. However, WUP is subject to the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax, which is an entity level income-based tax. As a result, a deferred tax liability of $0.1 million is recorded at the WUP level as of December 31, 2020, based on the expected future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and tax basis of the assets and liabilities of the partnership, as measured at currently enacted tax rates.

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

(AA)

Elimination of interest income and unrealized losses from trust account investments.

186

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(BB)

Does not reflect a pro forma adjustment to income tax expense as WUP has historically been in a net loss position. In addition, WUP is a limited liability company that files as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. As such, each member is responsible for reporting income or loss to the extent required by federal and state income tax regulations, based upon their respective share of WUP income and expenses.

(CC)

Represents the non-controlling interest allocation for the portion of WUP net loss attributable to MIP LLC for the year ended December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

Pro forma loss before income taxes
Assuming no redemption	$	(88,180)
Assuming maximum redemption	$	(88,180)
Pro forma loss attributable to non-controlling interest
Assuming no redemption (3.9%)	$	(3,468)
Assuming maximum redemption (4.1%)	$	(3,627)

4. Adjustments to Historical Information of WUP for the year ended December 31, 2020

DPJ was acquired by WUP on January 17, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes the pre-acquisition period of DPJ from January 1, 2020 to January 17, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not include transaction accounting adjustments for DPJ as any such adjustments are not material.

5. Net Loss per Share

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. Holders of WUP equity interests will receive shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in an amount determined by application of the Exchange Ratio. In the maximum redemption scenario, this calculation eliminates 11,974,632 of the public shares for the entire period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of redemption by Aspirational’s public shareholders of shares of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing) in the trust account for the year ended December 31, 2020 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

	Assuming No Redemption			Assuming Maximum Redemption
Pro forma net loss			(88,180)			(88,180)
Weighted average shares outstanding of common stock			253,992,233			242,017,601
Net loss per share (basic and diluted) attributable to common shareholders (1)(2)(3)(4)		$	(0.35)		$	(0.36)

(1)

Includes the potential future exchange of the vested and unvested Wheels Up PI Units into which the WUP Profits Interests will be converted in the Business Combination for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a reference price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock of $10.00. In addition, there are 4,662,376 Wheels Up RI Units into which the WUP Restricted Interests will be converted upon consummation of the Business Combination that will be exchangeable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on a 1:1 basis, subject to vesting. The Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units will not represent legally issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common

stock until such units are exchanged for share of Wheels Up Class A common stock. As such, the Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units were excluded from the calculation of combined pro forma net loss per share.

INFORMATION ABOUT ASPIRATIONAL

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Aspirational prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

General

Aspirational is a blank check company incorporated on July 7, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. Although Aspirational is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a business combination, Aspirational focuses on businesses with premium brands that offer an aspirational lifestyle experience to consumers, which we refer to throughout this proxy statement/prospectus as the aspirational lifestyle space. Aspirational has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on Aspirational’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

On September 25, 2020, Aspirational consummated its initial public offering of 22,500,000 units, with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. On September 29, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option, and on October 2, 2020, purchased an additional 1,474,632 units from the Company, and forfeited the remainder of the option. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, Aspirational completed the private sale of 4,333,333 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds to us of $6.5 million. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 196,617 private placement warrants, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $294,926. The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in Aspirational’s initial public offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per share equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)); (ii) they (including the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of Aspirational’s initial business combination; (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (iv) they (including the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.

Following the closing of Aspirational’s initial public offering, inclusive of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, a total of $239.7 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from its initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants were placed in the trust account. The proceeds held in the trust account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in Treasury securities and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As of December 31, 2020, funds in the trust account totaled $239,795,125. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (i) the completion of a business combination (including the Closing), (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents to modify the substance or timing of Aspirational’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if it does not complete a business combination by September 25, 2022 and (iii) the redemption of all of the public shares if Aspirational is unable to complete a business combination by September 25, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), subject to applicable law.

Effecting Aspirational’s Initial Business Combination

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The rules of the NYSE require that Aspirational’s Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (net of amounts disbursed to management for the payment of taxes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust). Aspirational’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

189

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shareholder Approval of Business Combination

Aspirational is seeking stockholder approval of the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting, at which shareholders may elect to redeem their shares, regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal, into their pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable). Aspirational will consummate the Business Combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor and each director of Aspirational who hold Aspirational ordinary shares have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any ordinary shares held by them. The ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (including Aspirational’s independent directors) owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or Aspirational’s securities, the Sponsor, Wheels Up or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of Aspirational’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, Wheels Up or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (i) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the BCA Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (ii) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals, (iii) satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, (iv) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (v) Wheels Up’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a5 1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

If Aspirational has not completed the Business Combination with WUP by September 25, 2022 and has not completed another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to Aspirational’s Cayman Constitutional Documents, Aspirational will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the 23,974,632 public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued

190

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Aspirational’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Our initial shareholders have entered into a letter agreement with Aspirational, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their Aspirational Class B ordinary shares if Aspirational fails to complete its business combination within the required time period. However, if Sponsor owns any public shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if Aspirational fails to complete its business combination within the allotted time period.

The Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and officers have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with Aspirational, that they will not propose any amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (i) to modify the substance or timing of Aspirational’s obligation to allow for redemption in connection with Aspirational’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete its business combination by September 25, 2022 or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless Aspirational provides its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. However, Aspirational may not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions.

Aspirational expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts held outside the trust account, although it cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing Aspirational’s plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay taxes, Aspirational may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of Aspirational’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of Aspirational’s public shareholders. Aspirational cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Business Combination and Aspirational — If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in our initial public offering)” and other risk factors contained herein. While Aspirational intend to pay such amounts, if any, Aspirational cannot assure you that Aspirational will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although Aspirational will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than Aspirational’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which Aspirational does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of Aspirational’s public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against Aspirational’s assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, Aspirational’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver only if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where Aspirational may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to

191

TABLE OF CONTENTS

execute a waiver or in cases where Aspirational is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of Aspirational’s public shares, if Aspirational has not completed Aspirational’s initial business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with Aspirational’s initial business combination, Aspirational will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than Aspirational’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which Aspirational has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under Aspirational’s indemnity of the underwriters of Aspirational’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. Aspirational has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and Aspirational believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Aspirational and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of Aspirational’s other directors or officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Aspirational’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Aspirational currently expects that Aspirational’s independent directors would take legal action on Aspirational’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that Aspirational’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, Aspirational cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be substantially less than $10.00 per share. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Business Combination and Aspirational — If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in our initial public offering)” and other risk factors contained herein.

Aspirational will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than Aspirational’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which Aspirational does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under Aspirational’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

If Aspirational files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable insolvency law and may be included in Aspirational’s insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Aspirational’s shareholders. To the extent any insolvency claims deplete the trust account, Aspirational cannot assure you Aspirational will be able to return $10.00 per share to Aspirational’s public shareholders. Additionally, if Aspirational files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts

192

TABLE OF CONTENTS

received by Aspirational’s shareholders. Furthermore, Aspirational’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to Aspirational’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Aspirational cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Business Combination and Aspirational — If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, Aspirational files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.”

Aspirational’s public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (i) Aspirational’s completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those Aspirational Class A ordinary shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of Aspirational’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with Aspirational’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if Aspirational does not complete Aspirational’s initial business combination by September 25, 2022 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of the public shares if Aspirational has not completed an initial business combination by September 25, 2022, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Holders of Aspirational warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the Aspirational warrants.

Facilities

Aspirational currently maintains its executive offices at 1 Kim Seng Promenade, #18-07/12 Great World City, Singapore 237994. The cost for this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee that Aspirational pays the Sponsor for office space and administrative and support services. Aspirational considers its current office space adequate for Aspirational’s current operations.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the principal executive offices of Wheels Up will be located at 601 West 26th Street, New York, New York, 10001.

Employees

Aspirational currently has two officers. Members of Aspirational’s management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Aspirational’s matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to Aspirational’s affairs until Aspirational has completed Aspirational’s initial business combination. The amount of time that any members of Aspirational’s management team will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for Aspirational’s business combination and the current stage of the Business Combination process.

Competition

If Aspirational succeeds in effecting the Business Combination, there will be, in all likelihood, significant competition from WUP’s competitors. Aspirational cannot assure you that, subsequent to the Business Combination, WUP will have the resources or ability to compete effectively. Information regarding Wheels Up’s competition is set forth in the section entitled “Information about WUP — Our Competition.”

Number, Terms of Office and Appointment of Directors and Officers

Aspirational’s board of directors consists of five members. These provisions of our Cayman Constitutional Documents may only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting, or by a unanimous written resolution of all of our shareholders. Each of Aspirational’s directors hold office for a two-year term. Subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on Aspirational’s board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of Aspirational’s board of directors or by a majority of the holders of Aspirational’s ordinary shares.

Aspirational’s officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Aspirational’s board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in the Cayman Constitutional Documents, as it deems appropriate. The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that Aspirational’s officers may consist of a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Director Independence

The rules of the NYSE require that a majority of Aspirational’s board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person that, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).

Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and the listing standards of the NYSE. In addition, members of Aspirational’s compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth under the listing standards of the NYSE.

Aspirational’s board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Austin, Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Newman is an “independent director” as defined in the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

Aspirational’s independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of Aspirational’s directors or executive officers has received any cash compensation for services rendered to Aspirational. However, upon the successful completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, Aspirational will pay each of the independent directors $3,125 per month in the aggregate for each month of his or her services to Aspirational. Commencing on November 12, 2020 through the earlier of the consummation of Aspirational’s business combination and Aspirational’s liquidation, Aspirational accrues an obligation to (i) the Sponsor for a total of $10,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services and (ii) an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer for a total of $10,000 per month for

196

TABLE OF CONTENTS

support services, including accounting, book and record keeping and cash management services. The Sponsor, directors and executive officers or any of their respective affiliates are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Aspirational’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by Aspirational to the Sponsor, directors, executive officers or Aspirational or any of their respective affiliates. On September 2, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 founder shares to each of Mr. Austin, Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Newman at their original per-share purchase price.

Aspirational is not party to any agreements with its directors or officers that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence Aspirational’s management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business and Aspirational does not believe that the ability of its management to remain with it after the consummation of its business combination should be a determining factor in its decision to proceed with any business combination.

For more information about the interests of the Sponsor and Aspirational’s directors and officers in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of Aspirational’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination.”

Legal Proceedings

There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending or to Aspirational’s knowledge, threatened against us or any members of Aspirational’s management team in their capacity as such.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

Aspirational has registered its securities under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, Aspirational’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by Aspirational’s independent registered public accounting firm. Aspirational has filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K covering the year ended December 31, 2020.

ASPIRATIONAL’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “we,” “us,” “our, “ the “Company” or “Aspirational” refer to Aspirational prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The following discussion and analysis of Aspirational’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Aspirational’s consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Aspirational’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Please see the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 7, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our initial business combination. We reviewed a number of opportunities to enter into a business combination with an operating business, and entered into the Merger Agreement on February 1, 2021. We intend to finance the Business Combination entirely through shares of Wheels Up common stock issued to WUP equityholders and the PIPE Investors.

The issuance of additional shares in a business combination:

•

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Aspirational Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Aspirational Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Aspirational Class B ordinary shares;

•

may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if preferred shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our ordinary shares;

•

could cause a change of control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present directors and officers;

•

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us;

•

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, ordinary shares and/or warrants; and

•

may not result in adjustment to the exercise price of our warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness (in a business combination other than the Business Combination with WUP), it could result in:

•

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

•

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

•

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;

•

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;

•

our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares;

198

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our ordinary shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

•

limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

•

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

•

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes; and

•

other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

We have incurred, and expect to incur, significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful, or should the Business Combination not proceed for any reason, any other business combination.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering, as described below, and the search for a target company for a Business Combination, including the potential acquisition of WUP. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We have generated and expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account. We have incurred and expect to incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a business combination.

For the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $1,554,342, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $1,603,147 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our trust account of $785, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $49,590.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the initial public offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.

On September 25, 2020, we consummated the initial public offering of 22,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $225,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 4,333,333 private placement warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant generating gross proceeds of $6,500,000.

On October 2, 2020, in connection with the underwriter’s election to partially exercise its over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional 1,474,632 units and the sale of an additional 196,617 private placement warrants, generating total gross proceeds of $15,041,246.

Following the initial public offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters and the sale of the private placement warrants, a total of $239.7 million was placed in the trust account, and we had $1,861,552 of cash held outside of the trust account, after payment of costs related to the initial public offering, available for working capital purposes. We incurred $12,952,619 in transaction costs, including $4.5 million of underwriting fees paid to Credit Suisse (of which 10% was reimbursed to cover the financial advisory fee paid to Connaught), $8.391 million of deferred underwriting fees payable to Credit Suisse (of which 10% will be reimbursed to cover the deferred financial advisory fee payable to Connaught) and $577,619 of other costs. Credit Suisse, Connaught and their respective affiliates have engaged in, or may in the future engage in, as applicable, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course

199

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of business with us, our affiliates or WUP. They have received, or may in the future receive, as applicable, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

For the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $1,084,845. Net loss of $1,554,342 was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities of $49,590, unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our trust account of $785 and formation costs paid by Sponsor in exchange for issuance of Aspirational Class B ordinary shares of $15,092. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $503,210 of cash from operating activities.

At December 31, 2020, we had marketable securities held in the trust account of $239,795,125. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account, to complete the business combination, including to pay deferred underwriting commission. We may withdraw interest from the trust account to pay our taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

At December 31, 2020, we had cash of $719,926 held outside of the trust account. The primary uses of the funds held outside the trust account were to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to (other than pursuant to the Promissory Note), loan us additional funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment.

On March 8, 2021, Aspirational issued the Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which Aspirational borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $100,000.

We may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our officers, directors and the Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative

200

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and support services, provided to Aspirational. Such agreement was assigned from the Sponsor to Turmeric Capital Singapore Pte Ltd, an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, on December 31, 2020. We began incurring these fees on September 23, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

We have agreed, commencing on September 23, 2020, to pay Turmeric Capital Singapore Pte Ltd, an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, $10,000 per month for support services, including accounting, book and record keeping and cash management services. Upon completion of the Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, or $8,391,121 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that we complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

Net Loss per Ordinary Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. We have not considered the effect of the public warrants and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,521,494 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Our statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for our redeemable Class A ordinary shares in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for our redeemable Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the trust account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.

Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for our non-redeemable Class A and Class B ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to our redeemable class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

Our non-redeemable Class A and Class B ordinary shares include our founder shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares as these shares do not have any redemption features. Our non-redeemable Class A and Class B

201

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ordinary shares participate in the income or loss on marketable securities based on such non-redeemable ordinary shares’ proportionate interest.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of December 31, 2020, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our initial public offering, the net proceeds of our initial public offering, including amounts in the trust account, have been invested in certain U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 185 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Our Marketplace Strategy

In recent years, digitally enabled marketplaces have driven a seismic shift across many industries, and travel in particular, by facilitating efficient matching of supply and demand. Whether Airbnb for lodging, Uber for mobility or booking.com for hotels, each of these companies has introduced a revolutionary platform that connects consumers to providers at scale, fundamentally changing consumer behavior and driving significant addressable market expansion. These shifts, characterized by increased accessibility, pricing transparency and improved asset utilization, have yet to occur in our industry. For much of the private

204

TABLE OF CONTENTS

aviation market today, the process of discovering and booking a private flight remains complex, time consuming, opaque and primarily offline. We believe this leaves consumers dissatisfied and inhibits demand. On the supply side, aircraft owners and operators, reliant on brokers or agents to drive customer utilization, suffer from scheduling inefficiencies and challenged economics.

Benefits to Flyers:

•

Access and Ease of Use: A simple digital interface offering real-time price discovery and instant booking capabilities based on real-time availability and feasibility.

•

More Options: Expansive network of safety-vetted and verified-available aircraft.

•

Transparent and Dynamic Pricing: Advanced algorithms, machine learning and predictive analytics drive real-time trustworthy market-driven trip-by-trip pricing.

•

Reduced Cost of Flying: Network efficiencies, scale and productization of empty repositioning legs and shared flight options that together drive lower costs to consumers.

•

Benefits to Aircraft Owners and Third-Party Operators:

•

Increased Asset Utilization: More flight opportunities driven by one of the largest pools of consistent, premium demand.

•

Leading Flight Management Software: Access to a leading cloud-based solution to efficiently manage all aspects of daily operations (i.e., billing, passenger manifests, crew, ground, etc.).

•

Fleet Optimization: Capability to optimize fleet within a scaled visible demand network, reducing empty repositioning legs and generating incremental flight revenue.

•

Future Profitability: Reduce reliance on inefficient and often costly third-party broker or sales model.

•

Reduced Cost of Ownership: Access to Wheels Up charter demand drives shared revenue that defrays cost of ownership.

History of Innovation and Market Expansion

Wheels Up was founded in 2013 by industry pioneer Kenny Dichter to provide a cost-efficient, accessible and transparent option that addressed the needs of the modern private flyer.

Wheels Up introduced the industry’s first membership-based private aviation offering, providing access to an owned and leased fleet of premium aircraft for a reasonable initiation fee, annual dues and a pay-as-you-fly model. With this new model, Wheels Up reduced the entry cost of private aviation and expanded the universe of potential flyers. To service this offering, we invested in a fleet of new King Air 350i aircraft, an aircraft that most cost effectively addresses 70% of typical flights in the United States: those under two hours. This investment enabled us to secure initial fleet format exclusivity from the OEM, Textron Aviation, creating a differentiated product that gave us a strong foothold in a competitive market. We also focused on building a best-in-class team, a reliable and customer-centric experience supported by innovative technology and a trusted lifestyle brand.

Industry and Market Opportunity

The U.S. Private Aviation Industry Is Large and Growing

The private aviation industry has historically served high-net-worth individuals and corporate customers, allowing flyers to maximize productivity and minimize overall travel time. We believe the private aviation market in the United States represents a massive market opportunity, with an estimated $31 billion of annual spending on passenger charter flights and whole and fractional aircraft. We believe our addressable market is considerably greater, just north of $50 billion today. We calculate this market opportunity on a bottom-up basis based on our addressable population, which is comprised of individuals with net worth greater than $1 million and corporations with annual revenue greater than $20 million (see chart below). Based on expected growth in global high-net-worth populations and assuming a minor increase in the weighted average penetration rate across the relevant demographics driven by digitization, optimization of supply and demand and simplification of a complex environment, we believe the addressable market can grow to $80 billion by 2025.

Proprietary Technology, Algorithms and Data Ecosystem

We have invested significantly in extending our technology platform to support a growing end-to-end aviation marketplace. Our marketplace platform comprises three main elements: intuitive digital front — end interfaces, a middle tier supported by data-driven optimization and pricing algorithms, and a back-end featuring a comprehensive flight operations platform, with connectivity to a network of third-party operators, supported by our Avianis flight management system. Each of the elements of our marketplace platform relies upon and fuels a powerful data ecosystem containing data generated from within our systems, as well as from external industry sources.

Our Consumer-Facing Digital Products Support “Search, Book and Fly” Experience

Our front-end consumer facing applications include our highly-rated mobile app on iOS and Android, a website for our members, and, shortly, APIs for third-party partner plug-ins to our marketplace. The core functionality of each of these solutions is our “Single Search” interface, which delivers dynamically priced flight options across multiple aircraft categories, in near real-time, available for instant booking. Our proprietary mobile app can distinguish all member and non-member criteria and retain personal preferences to ensure an elevated personalized travel experience. We believe the simplicity of the Wheels Up App, with transparent pricing and instant booking capabilities, provides a frictionless experience enabling us to expand our offering to non-members.

An Advanced Pricing Engine, with Matching and Optimization Algorithms, Drive Efficiency and Higher Utilization

211

TABLE OF CONTENTS

With algorithms that forecast demand by asset class and at a regional or local level, we can drive pricing that favors trips based on a variety of variables that bring efficiency to the network, such as improving asset utilization by shifting demand to lower volume days. With our proprietary optimization software, we are able to optimize our daily schedule across our full network to reduce repositioning costs, drive network efficiency and maximize asset utilization. We believe these technologies, and our proprietary pricing and optimization algorithms in particular, provide a competitive advantage relative to other competitors, many of whom rely on pricing and scheduling functions that are highly analog and manual.

Avianis FMS Provides Integrated Fleet Management and Will Connect Supply to our Marketplace

Avianis is a cloud-based SaaS subscription FMS that enables aircraft owners/operators to run critical elements of their day-to-day business (e.g., fleet scheduling, inventory management, flight planning, crew and maintenance scheduling, etc.) with integrations to third party trip service providers (e.g., ground transportation, catering, lodging, etc.). Approximately 100 aircraft owners/operators, with close to 2,000 aircraft currently manage their fleet operations on the Avianis FMS, including several of our largest third-party operators. Certain of our owned, leased and managed fleets are already operating the Avianis FMS, and we expect to convert our remaining fleets by the end of 2021.

Our Growth Opportunities

Expand TAM with Introduction of Digitally Enabled Non-Member Access

We are at an important phase of our evolution as we aim to make private aviation more accessible and significantly expand our total addressable market. For the first time since our inception, we are opening our marketplace to include non-members using the Wheels Up App. We believe a user-friendly, transparent “search, book and fly” digital experience will remove friction points for new entrants to private aviation as well as appeal to those who currently use more analog and opaque competitive options. We also believe that many of these customers, once exposed to the Wheels Up experience and brand ecosystem, will, over time, become an important part of our member community. Our members will always be a critical component of our business and brand and we remain committed to continuing to deliver for them on our promise of value, service and experience. We believe the additional demand driven by non-members should provide benefits to our members that include improved pricing driven by broader network effects and more flight sharing options, among others.

Expand Flight Sharing Opportunities that Reduce Costs and Expand TAM

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 led to economic and business uncertainties resulting from governmental restrictions on air travel, the implementation of quarantine and shelter-in-place orders, the cancellation of large public events, businesses suspending in-person meetings and the closure of popular tourist destinations. These circumstances have resulted in a reduced demand for air travel — including a decrease in private flight operations.

In order to provide the safest experience while meeting our customers’ essential transportation needs, we developed and implemented Wheels Up Safe Passage™ — a suite of enhanced cleaning and operational protocols to help ensure the safety of our passengers and pilots through best-available sanitization practices and adherence with up-to-date health guidelines. In addition, in order to minimize the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating costs and cash flows we took a number of temporary actions, including a voluntary employee leave of absence program, reduced work schedules, departmental hiring freezes, reduced salaries for certain executives, a cutback in capital expenditures, removing some of our aircraft from service, and implementation of stringent, essential-only expense management policies.

As a result of the pandemic, we experienced a decline in occupied flight hours and a corresponding reduction in flight revenue from normal historical activity, primarily during the second and third quarters of 2020. During this period, Wheels Up applied to Treasury for assistance under the Payroll Support Program as established by the CARES Act. We were awarded a total of $74.2 million to support ongoing operations, which was fully received by September 30, 2020. Subsequent to this award, we were granted an additional $2.2 million in accordance with a notification that, based on funding availability, recipients that were currently in compliance with signed payroll support program agreements would receive an approximate 3% increase in their award amount. This additional amount was received in October 2020. We utilized the entire $76.4 million in grant proceeds to offset payroll expenses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2020.

215

TABLE OF CONTENTS

After the significant drop-off in demand in April, flight volumes began to return in May 2020 and continued to improve throughout the year, though remained down, on a year over year pro forma basis each month except December. In December 2020, Congress authorized an additional $15 billion in financial assistance for the aviation industry as part of a $900 billion COVID-19 relief stimulus package included within the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. Given the recovery in our business in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2020 compared to the initial quarters following the onset of COVID-19, we did not apply for a second round of funding.

Moving forward, we believe COVID-19 has created significant opportunities for our business’ growth as flying privately helps to ensure social distancing imperatives by providing for fewer points of contact. These potential opportunities are mitigated in part by the decline of certain types of travel that have historically been a material driver of flight revenue, including business and event-driven travel, which we anticipate may not in the near-term return to pre-pandemic levels. In addition, the spread of COVID-19 has also prevented us from offering members access to in-person “Wheels Down” experiential events, an important lifestyle component of our membership that we believe contributes to customer loyalty and retention.

Our Members

We provide private aviation services through our industry-first membership program. Our membership model offers a simplified on-ramp to private flying with less complexity and lower up-front cost compared to traditional competitive private aviation programs. As of December 31, 2020, we had over 9,200 Active Members across all membership categories.

We offer three tiers of membership — Connect, Core and Business — which are collectively designed to address a spectrum of private aviation consumers from those with occasional usage to the most frequent of flyers.

[MISSING IMAGE: tm215741d1-tb_wheel4c.jpg]

Connect Membership

Our Connect membership, which was introduced in 2019, is a relatively low-barrier-to-entry membership tier requiring an initiation fee of $2,995 and annual dues of $2,495 beginning in year two of the membership. These fees may be discounted at times, or accompanied by flight credits, in accordance with special promotional and/or partnership offers. The Connect membership offers variable dynamic pricing on a per trip basis and is designed for the consumer with less frequent needs or more flexibility in their schedule.

Core Membership

Our Core membership, which has been offered since our inception in 2013, is designed for private flyers who place a premium on the convenience and flexibility of guaranteed aircraft availability on all aircraft types

216

TABLE OF CONTENTS

on short notice, want price protection through capped hourly rates on the busiest industry days and want to participate in an enhanced lifestyle program of events, experiences and member benefits. Subject to special promotional and partnership offers, which may include flight credits, Core membership requires an initiation fee of $17,500 and annual dues of $8,500 beginning in year two of the membership.

Business Membership

Our Business membership, which has also been offered since our inception, is designed to serve a broad spectrum of demands from our business members, including those for whom we are the primary provider of private flights, and others for whom we may be a supplementary solution to their own aircraft operations. Business membership requires an initiation fee of $29,500 and annual dues of $14,500 beginning in year two of the membership, though as with Connect and Core, these fees may be discounted at times, or accompanied by bonus flight credits. As with Core members, Business members receive guaranteed aircraft availability on all aircraft types on short notice and price protection through capped hourly rates on the busiest industry days.

Member Flight Booking

In addition to their initiation fee and annual dues, members pay for their flights based on a fixed quoted amount at time of booking. Depending on membership type and method of payment (see “Information About WUP — Prepayment for Flights — Fund Programs and Pay-As-You-Fly”), the cost of a flight is generally either dynamically priced or based on a capped hourly rate that provides qualifying members with price protection on our busiest, high demand days.

Members can request flights through the Wheels Up App, the member website or directly through our Member Services team. Flight requests are fulfilled on our owned, leased or managed aircraft, operated by one of our certificated operating subsidiaries, or on aircraft operated by a network of safety-vetted and verified third party operators. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Our Fleet.”

Dynamic Pricing and Capped Hourly Rate Protection

Wheels Up member flights are dynamically priced by our proprietary pricing engine, which utilizes advanced algorithms, machine learning and predictive analytics to drive real-time trustworthy market-driven trip-by-trip pricing. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Proprietary Technology, Algorithms and Data Warehouse.”

For our Core and Business members, this dynamic pricing is coupled with price protection through capped hourly rates for our highest demand days, referred to as Peak Travel Days. Capped hourly rate protection provides our Core and Business members with the best of both worlds, reduced costs on slower demand days and protection against market pricing surges on the industry’s busiest days. This combination of dynamic pricing with capped rate protection is unique in our industry. We believe it provides a competitive advantage as against other providers who either charge a fixed rate at all times, offering no reductions when demand is lower, or are fully dynamic, offering no price protection against significant price surges at busy times. The number of days with capped rate protection starts at 300 for our Core members and 330 for our Business members, and in each case can increase up to 365 with the purchase of a Fund Program. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Pre-Payment for Flights — Fund Programs and Connect Funds.”

For trips that are charged based on a capped hourly rate, the cost of the trip is calculated by multiplying the applicable capped hourly rate (based on cabin class) by the estimated flight time plus one-tenth of an hour of taxi time for each of take-off and landing. This provides another differentiation against our fixed-rate competitors who charge for actual flight time after the fact, rather than estimated flight time up front, as we do, which provides cost transparency.

The cost of flights for our Connect members is dynamically priced at time of booking, with the proviso that Connect members who purchase Connect Funds receive capped hourly rate protection with respect to the King Air 350i on 300 days a year. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Prepayment for Flights — Fund Programs and Connect Funds”.

217

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Transcontinental and Other Pricing

From time to time, we introduce special pricing with respect to certain identified travel routes. Most recently, we leveraged our newly expanded fleet of Citation X Super-Midsize aircraft to introduce special fixed cost pricing on transcontinental flights that qualify based on a number of factors, including region of departure, region of arrival, date and time of travel and advance booking notice.

Prepayment for Flights — Fund Programs and Connect Funds

Core and Business members can prepay for future flights with the purchase of a Fund Program. A Fund Program is a pre-purchased amount of dollar-denominated credits that can be applied to future costs incurred by members, including flight services, annual dues, and other incidental costs such as catering and ground transportation. We offer standard Fund Programs in increments ranging from $50,000 to $400,000 with customized terms for amounts in excess of $400,000.

Fund Programs afford members with preferential terms and conditions that may include greater aircraft availability, access across cabin class categories, extended capped rate price protection, and other member benefits such as Delta Medallion® status issued at the time of Fund Program purchase. The preferential terms are offered for periods of 12 to 30 months, increasing with the amount of the Fund Program. When a preference period expires, a member has continued access to the funds in their purchased Fund Program for so long as their membership remains active, but without the preferential terms. Approximately 45% of our Core and Business members have purchased Fund Programs in recent years.

We offer a similar pre-payment option to our Connect members, called Connect Funds, in increments of $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000. We incent the purchase of Connect Funds with a reduction in membership initiation fee or annual dues (depending when purchased), flight credits and guaranteed availability with capped rate pricing on the King Air 350i on 300 days a year.

Pay as you Fly

Core and Business members who elect not to purchase a Fund Program “pay as they fly” by paying for their flights at the time of booking. The primary difference between these members and those with a Fund Program is they have fewer number of days with guaranteed availability and no capped rate price protection. These members may also earn Delta Medallion Status as and when they exceed certain pre-established thresholds on annual flight spend.

Connect members without Connect Funds also pay for flights at the time of booking.

Non-Member Flyers

Non-Member Marketplace Customers

We have recently added a non-membership offering to expand flyer participation in our marketplace. Non-member flyers can sign up, ask questions, and shop and book charter flights completely digitally using the Wheels Up App. These flyers are not required to purchase a membership, but may pay additional transaction fees not applicable to members. They also do not receive membership benefits. In addition, non-member flyers do not have the same aircraft availability guarantees as members and flights are priced dynamically. We believe that this offering will provide an additional avenue for membership growth as non-members elect to upgrade to one of our membership options. Over time, we intend to add additional features to our non-member offering, including participation in our flight sharing features, including our Shared Flights offering and a by-the-seat scheduled shuttle product. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Overview — Our Growth Opportunities — Expand TAM with Introduction of Digitally Enabled Non-Member Access.”

Wholesale Customers

In addition to our retail offerings, we provide wholesale charter services to customers such as charter flight brokers and third-party operators. Our wholesale customers typically pay us an agreed fixed rate for a

218

TABLE OF CONTENTS

private air flight, which varies based on factors such as the aircraft type and date of the flight, and in turn sell the flight to their own retail customers.

Jet Card Customers

Through our acquisition of DPJ, we inherited the legacy Delta Private Cards (“Jet Cards”), which allow customers to pre-purchase dollar-denominated credits that are redeemed for future flights on our WUPJ consolidated subsidiary. Jet Cards are purchased at tiered dollar amounts ranging from $75,000 to more than $1,000,000 and provide customers guaranteed availability and fixed rate all-inclusive hourly pricing. During 2020, we began the process of converting Jet Card holders to Wheels Up memberships and as of December 31, 2020, we do not generally offer new Jet Cards.

Our Fleet

Through our combination of ownership, long-term leases, management, and partnerships with third-party operators, we believe that we have access to one of the largest and most diverse mix of aircraft in the U.S. private aviation industry to meet the demands of our members and non-member flyers. See “Information About WUP — “Asset-Right” Network of Aircraft.”

Wheels Up Owned and Leased Aircraft

We currently have 170 owned and long-term leased aircraft in our fleet, including 85 Turboprops, 28 Light jets, 16 Midsize jets, 38 Super-Midsize jets and 3 Large Cabin jets. Of our owned and leased aircraft, 72 King Air 350i twin turboprops, 15 Citation Excel/XLS Midsize jets and 8 Citation X Super-Midsize jets are painted in blue and white Wheels Up livery with the UP insignia painted on the tail.

Through certain of our subsidiaries, we are the Part 135 operator for our owned and leased fleet. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Flight Operations” and “Government Regulation — Principal Domestic Regulatory Authorities.”

Our owned and leased aircraft operate as a “floating fleet,” meaning that they do not return to a home base. This allows us to keep our aircraft positioned to most efficiently address our member flight requests, ensuring broad geographic coverage with the fleet and eliminating costly repositioning flights. Lower repositioning costs provide Wheels Up with a meaningful cost advantage on one-way and multi-city itineraries.

Managed Aircraft

As of December 31, 2020, our managed fleet was comprised of 170 aircraft under management, including Light, Midsize, Super-Midsize, and Large Cabin jets. Under the terms of our management agreements, managed fleet aircraft may generally be used to fulfill Wheels Up member and non-member flights in addition to use by the aircraft owners. Aircraft owners pay us a monthly management fee for services, including pilot hiring, flight operations, aircraft maintenance management and other administrative services. With respect to the use of these aircraft to fulfill member flights, the owner of the aircraft receives either a revenue share (typically approximately 85% of the charter cost) or a fixed hourly rate for all hours as payment.

Through certain of our subsidiaries, we are the Part 91 operator for aircraft owner flights and Part 135 operator for charter flights for our managed fleet. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Flight Operations” and “— Government Regulation — Principal Domestic Regulatory Authorities.”

Our managed aircraft each have a designated home base at airports across the country depending on the location preferred by the aircraft owner. After completing a flight, these aircraft return to their home base or are positioned to another location for their next revenue flight.

Third Party Network Aircraft

We have access to over 1,200 aircraft in all cabin classes through our network of safety vetted and verified third-party operators. To qualify to participate in the Wheels Up program, aircraft operators must

219

TABLE OF CONTENTS

satisfy our rigorous and stringent safety standards for aircraft, crew and operations. To become approved for use, the operator must complete a three-step assessment process that culminates with an on-site assessment to verify compliance with our standards. Additionally, the approved operator is subject to recurring on-site assessments every two years. As a final step, we verify compliance with our crew and aircraft standards using a safety database system for every flight. Under the terms of our agreements with our approved third-party operators, they provide service to Wheels Up members and non-member flyers subject to continued compliance with Wheels Up flight standards. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Flight Operations — Safety.” We contract with operators to participate in our network for periods ranging from a single flight up to 30 days with compensation to the operator based on the cabin class or other unique characteristics of the aircraft.

Technology, Data and Analytics

Technology and data science are at the foundation of all of our operations and strategic decision making. We have assembled a team of engineers, data scientists, designers and product managers whose expertise spans a broad range of technical areas to build our proprietary technology to support our marketplace platform and the day-to-day operations of our business. We use technological innovations where possible to increase efficiency and scale our business. In addition to our proprietary technology, we use third-party cloud computing services to allow us to quickly and efficiently scale up our services without incurring significant additional upfront infrastructure costs.

In an industry that historically used intuition and basic industry-wide data to drive strategy and decision-making, we are moving from intuition to algorithm. We are expanding and continuously improving our access to data, using data science and machine learning across our business, to enhance our member experience, inform product development, increase the effectiveness of our marketing and brand awareness initiatives, analyze market dynamics, optimize our pricing, bring efficiencies to our operations and accelerate our sales velocity. See the section entitled “— Information About WUP — Our Competitive Strengths — Proprietary Technology, Algorithms and Data Warehouse.”

Our Brand

We have built an industry-leading brand that creates broad consumer awareness, attracts new customers and allows us to generate deep engagement with our current members and non-member flyers. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Our Competitive Strengths — Aspirational Lifestyle Brand.”

Marketing

Our marketing strategy utilizes a variety of owned, earned, and paid media channels, with a focus on both attracting new customers and retaining existing ones. We attempt to target our marketing to consumers who have reasonably predictable demographic or lifestyle attributes similar to those of our current members that are indicative of potential or current private flyers. We utilize targeted, digital marketing to reach new customers and drive awareness. In addition to our targeted marketing efforts, we also invest in certain marketing opportunities that we believe provide high visibility and enable us to connect our brand to programs and events popular with our target customers, with a goal of creating a “halo effect” on the Wheels Up brand. Examples of this include our sponsorship of American Pharaoh and Justified during each of their Triple Crown winning runs at the Belmont Stakes, our activation with ESPN’s College GameDay each weekend during the college football season and our sponsorships of each of the Capital One’s “The Match” golf tournaments in 2018, 2019 and 2020 featuring famous athletes including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Charles Barkley and Stephen Curry.

We recently launched open non-member access to our marketplace through the Wheels Up App. We expect to go out more broadly with our marketing efforts to potential flyers in conjunction with an in-development redesign of the Wheels Up App, currently scheduled to go live in 2021.

Sales and Account Management

We have developed a sales organization to capitalize on the various lead generation efforts and customer acquisition channels of our business. Our sales organization includes the following teams: sales

220

TABLE OF CONTENTS

operations, sales directors, centralized inside sales, field sales, strategic enterprise sales, aircraft management sales, whole aircraft sales, corporate sales and charter sales.

We also have a Wheels Up Account Management team that provides regular contact for our members and educates members on the benefits of Wheels Up membership. Account Managers serve as dedicated private aviation consultants for members with respect to evaluating options for specific flights and their overall Wheels Up relationship. In this capacity, our Account Management team plays a material role in driving membership renewals and the purchase of Fund Programs. This team also assists members in activating their Delta and other partner benefits.

With respect to our aircraft management business, we have a dedicated account management team that is responsible for the day-to-day management of our managed aircraft accounts and owner relationships.

Member Experience

Retention of our existing members is essential to the growth of our business. We attempt to drive retention by taking a holistic view of the member journey, from onboarding through a member’s flight and extending to each and every moment of member engagement thereafter. We believe each of these touchpoints is an essential element of the overall member experience. Our member experience group, working cross-functionally across our organization, is tasked with monitoring member engagement and ensuring high member satisfaction and low churn. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Our Competitive Strengths — Membership Model.”

Wheels Down Lifestyle Program

Wheels Up provides its members with a lifestyle program that enhances the member experience beyond our core aviation offerings. Our events include celebrations around popular sports and cultural events, as well as more intimate gatherings hosted by our Wheels Up Ambassadors. Popular examples of Wheels Down events include our members-only hospitality house in Augusta, Georgia during the week of The Masters® golf championship, our Super Saturday Tailgate before the Super Bowl®, and our pop-up celebration during Art Basel®, among many others. Partnerships with certain of the world’s top lifestyle brands provide our members with benefits and special offers in the areas of fashion, travel, leisure, fitness and more. Core and Business members also receive complimentary access to a full-service concierge through our partnership with Four HundredTM, and a complimentary year of membership in Inspirato®, a subscription-based luxury vacation platform.

Most recently, our benefits platform has been enhanced through our partnership with Delta. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Our Competitive Strengths — Strategic Relationship with Delta.”

Member Insights and Analytics

Wheels Up collects, analyzes and develops actionable insights from various member and customer data sources including proprietary data, market research, external data and predictive analytics. We are continuously seeking to improve our member experience by studying and understanding points of member interaction and how our members engage with the various elements of our offering. Our Member Experience team uses these data-driven insights to develop member engagement programs designed to improve member/customer satisfaction and retention.

We use direct marketing to our existing members, largely through email and digital marketing efforts, to increase frequency of travel, solicit feedback and promote new offers and benefits associated with a Wheels Up membership.

Loyalty

Rewarding customer engagement and in particular flight activity, has been proven to be a powerful driver of retention for customers and economic value for organizations. In many instances, the value of the

loyalty/affinity programs for the major commercial airlines has been viewed as a significant contributor to the overall value of the airlines themselves. We plan to introduce a member loyalty program, which will provide members with additional exclusive benefits and reinforce Wheels Up as a leading lifestyle and experiential brand. We expect to introduce this new program by the end of 2021.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Our success will require the inclusion of ALL — we strive to empower, engage, and celebrate diversity, authenticity and inclusion, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, identity, age, religion or culture. Our goal is to maximize the impact of the Wheels Up team by attracting, engaging, and retaining the most talented, dedicated, and passionate people in the marketplace. As a result, we are focused on expanding customer acquisition and maximizing corporate growth through the development and execution of an inclusive strategy that amplifies values, while prioritizing cultural sensitivity across a diverse target audience (i.e., female, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and other minority groups).

We are also developing our diversity, equity and inclusion “Guiding Principles” to help formalize our internal and external programs/processes through a multi-year plan. Our current efforts include amplifying our pro-active recruiting efforts to diversify our candidate pipeline, as well as developing a progressive approach in the provision of comprehensive benefits and strategic partnerships including:

•

The prioritization of partnerships with external organizations that will help us diversify our candidate pipeline include Women Aviation International, National Gay Pilot Association, Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals and the U.S. Military.

•

The creation of comprehensive benefits offerings that support employees and their families’ medical, emotional and financial well-being.

•

Work Life Balance Employee Assistance program, which includes supporting employees and their families with childcare, eldercare and legal issues.

•

Parental Leave for full time employees who become a parent through the birth or adoption of a child.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Beechcraft King Air 350i aircraft; each plane, active in our fleet and flying members daily, serves as a flying symbol of awareness for a specific cause. Our Wheels Up Cares fleet currently consists of five aircraft:

•

The Camouflage Plane was added to honor those in the military who serve and have served and benefits the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), a national organization that offers compassionate care to all those grieving the loss of a military loved one.

•

The Pink Plane supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month and benefits the Dubin Breast Center of the Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai in New York City, one of the world’s most renowned and advanced facilities for breast cancer treatment and research.

•

The Red Plane raises awareness for American Heart Month and benefits the American Heart Association’s Life is Why We Give TM fundraising campaign. We also participate as company team in the American Heart Association Heart Walk each year.

•

The Teal Plane supports Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and benefits related causes each September.

•

The Orange Plane, inspired by our Meals Up partnership with Feeding America (see below), was launched in partnership with Textron Aviation and in honor of Feeding America’s Hunger Action Month TM in September 2020. The Orange Plane is a flying symbol to raise awareness of food insecurity and pay tribute to the frontline workers at the 200-member food banks across the nation.

Meals Up Partnership with Feeding America

Our Meals Up initiative was created in March 2020 in partnership with Feeding America to help support the growing levels of food insecurity in the United States during the COVID-19 crisis. This effort has already raised and inspired the equivalent of more than 50 million meals for Feeding America, with participation from Wheels Up team members and ambassadors including Russell Wilson, Ciara, Tom Brady, JJ Watt, Alex Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez, and Joey Logano. The Orange Plane is part of the ongoing Wheels Up Cares and Meals Up initiatives.

Flight Operations

Our Flight Operations group consists of safety, member and client services, maintenance and maintenance control, aircraft management, scheduling and special missions teams. These teams operate nationwide and are primarily based out of Columbus, Ohio, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Shelton, Connecticut, Elkhart, Indiana, and Broomfield, Colorado (BJC).

Air Carrier Operations

Wheels Up provides its passenger air carrier services through five Part 135 certificates across its consolidated subsidiaries.

WUPJ is a Part 135 operator and additionally holds a Part 145 repair station certificate. WUPJ provides aircraft management services, private aircraft charter services, charter membership programs, FBO and MRO services. It operates tech service centers located at CVG and FLL, which provide comprehensive MRO facilities and services for aircraft operated by Wheels Up’s consolidated subsidiaries and third parties.

Gama is a Part 135 operator, providing flight services through three Part 135 certificates. Gama is the exclusive Part 135 operator for Wheels Up branded aircraft, operates the largest fleet of managed business jets in the United States and provides aircraft management services, private aircraft charter services, and maintenance support to customers and partners nationwide.

TMC is the largest wholesale-focused Part 135 operator of light jets in the United States. TMC’s wholesale fleet supports channel partners and businesses, including numerous third-party air carriers, across the private aviation industry.

Mountain Aviation’s primary operating base is at BJC and it has operational bases in Alaska, Idaho, Texas, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. It is a Part 135 operator and additionally holds a Part 145 repair station

certificate. It provides private aircraft charter, aircraft management, and special mission services, including International Long-Range operations, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations, airdrop and low-cost, low-altitude operations, medevac/casevac and domestic flight operations.

Safety

Safety is a cornerstone of our culture. We view compliance with FAA regulations as a minimum baseline for our commitment to safety. We go beyond FAA minimum requirements by setting higher safety standards in areas of pilot experience, certification (licensing), training, safety programs and many others.

Wheels Up has implemented Safety Management Systems, or SMS, that goes beyond FAA regulatory requirements, across its operating certificates. SMS is a means to identify hazards, mitigate the risk associated with those hazards, collect safety data and act on that data to improve the safety of the operation. Each SMS is managed by our Director of Safety and a team of dedicated professionals trained on the elements of SMS. A key component of a SMS is the Aviation Safety Action Program (“ASAP”). ASAP is a non-punitive safety program that enables employees such as pilots, maintenance technicians and dispatchers to report safety related events for review by WUP and the FAA with the purpose of implementing corrective actions. Additional non-punitive safety reporting programs are in place for employees that are not covered by an ASAP.

In addition to our internal safety management efforts, the Wheels Up operating entities are voluntary participants in audits from a number of third-party safety organizations, including the Air Charter Safety Foundation, Wyvern, ARGUS, IS-BAO, and independent audits by some of our corporate clients. These audits are opportunities to have outside experts review and contribute to the continuous improvement of our SMS.

See “— Third Party Network Aircraft” for information regarding our safety standards and protocols for third party operators and aircraft to qualify to participate in our program.

See also “— Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic” for additional information regarding our implementation of Wheels Up Safe Passage™ in response to COVID-19.

Our Pilots

Every Wheels Up flight is under the command of two captain-rated pilots that meet our own training and flight-hour requirements, which are in excess of the FAA’s requirements and training criteria as outlined in the Federal Aviation Regulations. Each pilot is required to hold current FAA Airline Transport Pilot and First-Class Medical Certificates and is required to be FAA Pilot-in-Command Type-Rated in the aircraft they fly. Our pilot selection process screens all candidates for background, motivation and safety record. This screening process includes in-person technical interviews and written examinations, as well as a flight simulator assessment.

Our pilots must also complete mandatory advanced aircraft ground and flight training in a full-motion simulator, as well as recurrent training.

Revenue Management and Scheduling

Our revenue management team works closely with our data science and scheduling teams, leveraging the power of our proprietary optimization and pricing engines, to continually improve utilization of the aircraft in our fleet and to maximize profitability across our network. In addition to flight and program pricing, our revenue management team supports our product development and membership sales efforts.

Aircraft Maintenance and Repairs

We maintain, service and repair our owned, leased and managed aircraft to ensure the safety of our passengers and to keep the FAA airworthiness certificate of each aircraft in good standing at all times. Aircraft maintenance and repairs consists of routine and non-routine maintenance divided into three general categories consisting of line-maintenance, scheduled maintenance and component service.

224

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Line maintenance consists of daily and weekly scheduled maintenance inspections, including pre-flight, daily, weekly and overnight checks, diagnostics, routine repairs and any unscheduled items on an as needed basis.

Scheduled airframe maintenance inspections typically take one to four weeks and are performed every 6-12 months, with frequency dictated by utilization hours and cycles. Scheduled engine overhauls are performed every 1-3 years, with frequency also dictated by utilization hours and cycles.

We operate two MROs, with one additional satellite facility in the United States and we regularly assess our need for additional MRO facilities. Additionally, we have multiple Mobile Service Units, or MSUs, located throughout the United States to perform line-maintenance work. We continue to use third-party maintenance providers to supplement our internal capabilities for line-maintenance and to perform substantially all scheduled engine maintenance work. Third-party services for airframe and line-maintenance work are billed on a time and materials basis. We have entered into flight hour agreements with Pratt & Whitney Canada, Corp. and Rolls Royce for engine maintenance and engine overhauls.

Key Vendors

We have entered into agreements with certain airframe manufacturers to provide parts and technician labor related to maintenance for our aircraft at agreed upon pricing and rates. In addition to these arrangements, we also have flight hour agreements in place with certain airframe and engine manufacturers whereby the third party provides maintenance services for various aircraft on our certificates. These maintenance services primarily relate to scheduled airframe maintenance inspections, engine inspections and/or engine overhauls in exchange for an hourly rate per flight hour.

We have pricing agreements with various fuel providers located across the United States, pursuant to which we receive agreed upon pricing for fuel and handling/facility fees at each location.

We have entered into agreements with multiple, industry leading third party suppliers to provide factory authorized training for our pilots. These agreements provide training availability to Wheels Up throughout the year for both initial and recurrent pilot training in exchange for a fixed price per training slot.

Special Missions — Government, Defense, and Emergency and Medical Transport

Our special missions business consists of state and federal contracts for the operation of passenger, cargo and specialized aircraft used for U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) exercise and testing support. Our subsidiary, Mountain Aviation, is an approved DOD Commercial Airlift Review Board operator conducting regular passenger and cargo operations for U.S. Transportation Command. In addition to government services, our special missions activities have included providing air support at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic for the State of Florida, including the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the Florida National Guard, and the transportation of COVID-19 testing kits, medications and testing samples and, unrelated to COVID-19, the transportation of other medical equipment and supplies. These activities do not currently contribute significantly to our revenue. With the investments we have made, the teams we have assembled and based on our success with respect to our initial efforts in these areas, we believe these activities could begin to contribute more meaningfully to overall revenue in the future.

Whole Aircraft Acquisitions and Sales

In 2020, we introduced our whole aircraft and acquisitions group, which acts as a broker for individuals and corporations seeking to acquire or dispose of a new or used aircraft. Since inception, a number of our members have utilized Wheels Up as a complementary or supplemental solution, side-by-side with their owned aircraft. We believe the addition of this group brings added value for members who may be looking to purchase or sell an owned aircraft. We also believe these activities further diversify our business and acts as a complement to, and potential source of additional aircraft for, our managed fleet.

Industry

Introduction to the Private Aviation Market

The global private jet market is dominated by customers in North America, the largest market for private aviation globally. 24,521 aircraft in North America out of the total global market’s 38,448 aircraft,

225

TABLE OF CONTENTS

represent 64% market share. We believe the U.S. private aviation market is a large market with an estimated $31 billion of annual spending on passenger charter flights and whole and fractional aircraft. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Industry and Market Opportunity.”

COVID-19 and the Resiliency of the Private Aviation Market in A Downturn

Private aviation operators felt the material disruption in flight volumes and revenues resulting from COVID-19. Despite the significant reduction in flight volumes in March through June 2020, private aviation flight volumes have recovered materially faster than commercial aviation. While total year-over-year private aviation flight hours remained down by 14.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019, due to COVID-19, charter hours were up 7.7% for the month of December 2020 compared to November 2020, indicating ongoing near-term recovery. This contrasts to December 2020 commercial traffic revenue passenger kilometers which were reported 70% below 2019 levels.

A recent shift to more “asset-light” business models that utilize leased aircraft or third-party operator fleets has reduced risk for operators that previously owned aircraft and carried debt associated with aircraft ownership. Additionally, new business models that offer greater access to private flying across industries and levels of individual wealth have resulted in greater user diversification and increased utilization on a per aircraft basis for operators such as Wheels Up. We believe these changes created a private aviation market that was better positioned to handle the impact of an economic downturn in 2020 than in previous cycles.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Whole aircraft ownership: Requires the largest capital outlay.

•

Fractional ownership: Requires capital outlay along with hourly cost and monthly management fees to cover crewing, maintenance and management.

•

Long-term charter contract: Contracts with fixed or dynamic pricing where customers commit to flying 50+ annual flight hours, typically in a “take-or-pay” contract structure.

•

Jet card: No asset risk while still maintaining guaranteed availability through the pre-purchase of 25-hour jet cards with fixed or dynamic hourly rates.

•

On-demand charter: On-demand charter requires the lowest level of customer commitment with no expenses or contractual obligation beyond each individual flight.

The emergence of new business models such as jet card, membership and branded charter programs has created alternatives to whole aircraft or fractional ownership, with flyers now capable of accessing similar services without residual value risk and with significantly less upfront required investment. The industry has also moved away from long-term commitments and contracts and has instead moved towards an on-demand economy, with private aviation providers offering greater price transparency and flexibility. Offerings such as Wheels Up allow flyers to select a specific aircraft class for each individual flight, with transparent pricing, consistent service and safety standards, providing the benefits of aircraft ownership without the associated risks. The introduction of Wheels Up and other branded charter providers have resulted in a democratization of private aviation, allowing more people to fly private with a reduction of total capital outlay required versus legacy ownership models.

Competitive Landscape

The private aviation industry is highly fragmented. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Industry and Market Opportunity.” Because we offer products and services that address the needs of most private flyers, we compete with providers across all of the incumbent categories, including fractional programs, jet card providers and charter brokers. In addition, with respect to aircraft management, we compete with other companies that provide aircraft management services.

Government Regulation

We are subject to government regulation at local, state, national, and international levels. The scope of these regulations is exceedingly broad, covering a wide range of subjects that includes, but is not limited to, those summarized below.

Rules and regulations promulgated by government agencies are aimed at promoting or discouraging desirable or undesirable behaviors. Such rules and regulations may sometimes address broad or only partially defined objectives or requirements. Accordingly, regulated parties must actively interpret applicable rules and regulations on an ongoing basis, and where such interpretation is necessary, it often is the case that reasonable interpreters will have differing opinions as to the meaning or application of the rule. As a result, the conduct of our business will always include a measure of risk.

Finally, no regulated party can predict or control how new regulations might be written, interpreted, or enforced. This is especially true of industries such as civil aviation that have a high degree of public visibility in matters of safety, security, consumer protection, customs, immigration, and public health.

Principal Domestic Regulatory Authorities

The following paragraphs summarize the roles of some of the most prominent domestic regulators of our business. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of every regulator or of every rule overseen by these regulators.

DOT is the principal regulator of economic matters in the aviation industry. As applied to our business, under Part 298 (14 C.F.R. Part 298, referred to herein as “Part 298”), DOT oversees the operations of our subsidiaries that operate as air taxis (i.e., on-demand operators of small aircraft). This includes economic authority to conduct business as a type of air carrier, as well as consumer protection and insurance

228

TABLE OF CONTENTS

requirements that are applied to the conduct of such business. In Part 380 of its economic regulations (14 C.F.R. Part 380, referred to herein as “Part 380”), DOT also oversees the registration and performance of public charters that may be arranged by a non-air carrier, like our membership program, for the purpose of offering to the public charter flights that will be performed by an identified air carrier at a predetermined date and time (in contrast to the on-demand, or as-needed/where-needed, character of our air taxi operations).

DOT also oversees and regulates how we advertise and hold out services. In Part 295 (14 C.F.R. Part 295, referred to herein as “Part 295”), DOT oversees the sale, holding out and arrangement of single entity charter air transportation (or the entire capacity of an aircraft, in contrast to public charter flights which are sold by the seat). We are subject to DOT jurisdiction as a statutorily-defined “ticket agent” and as an “air charter broker” under Part 295 in offering and selling our membership program for single entity charters and in acting as an agent for members in arranging flights. In every aspect of our business subject to DOT’s jurisdiction, we are subject to DOT’s statutory and regulatory authorities to prohibit and enforce against engaging in “unfair” or “deceptive” practices. DOT also promulgates and enforces consumer protection regulations to which we are subject, including requirements related to the equal access to air transportation for disabled passengers, data reporting, recordkeeping, advertising, and ticket sales, among others.

Importantly, DOT also enforces U.S. laws governing the citizenship of air carriers. For our air carrier subsidiaries to maintain their registrations and hold out services, we must ensure that our entire business structure satisfies DOT’s citizenship requirements. This means we must be under the actual control of U.S. citizens, and we must satisfy certain other requirements, including that our president/chief executive officer and at least two-thirds of our board of directors and other managing officers must be U.S. citizens, and that at least seventy-five percent of our voting stock must be owned and controlled, directly and indirectly, by U.S. citizens. The amount of non-voting stock that may be owned or controlled by non-U.S. citizens is strictly limited as well.

The FAA is the principal regulator of safety matters in the aviation industry. The FAA’s regulations touch on many aspects of civil aviation, such as:

•

the design and manufacturing of aircraft, engines, propellers, avionics, and other key components (collectively the “aircraft,” as used below), including engine noise and other environmental standards;

•

the inspection, maintenance, repair and registration of aircraft;

•

the training, licensing or authorizing, and performance of duties by pilots, flight attendants, and maintenance technicians;

•

the testing of safety-sensitive personnel for prohibited drug use or alcohol consumption;

•

the design, construction, and maintenance of runways and other airport facilities;

•

the operation of air traffic control systems, including the management of complex air traffic at busy airport facilities;

•

the certification and oversight of air carriers;

•

the establishment and use of Safety Management Systems by air carriers;

•

the promotion of voluntary systems to encourage the disclosure of data that may aid in enhancing safety; and

•

the oversight and operational control of air carriers by their accountable managers, directors of operations, and directors of maintenance, and other key personnel.

There are several portions of FAA regulations that are mentioned throughout this S-4. They include the following Parts found in Title 14 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations.

“Part 91” contains the general rules for flight safety. These rules govern all flight operations, including private and commercial operations, except to the extent that the commercial operations are subject to additional rules found in other parts of the FAA regulations.

229

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Part 135” contains additional rules that apply to commercial “on-demand” operations. “On-demand” operations are flights for which the departure location, departure time, and arrival location are specifically negotiated with the customer or the customer’s representative. They stand in contrast to scheduled air carrier services for which the operator advertises specific departure and origin airports for a flight as well as a specific departure time.

“Part 145” contains the rules that govern the performance of aircraft inspection and maintenance activity at certificated repair stations. There are requirements for the quality of the facility, the qualifications of personnel, and what type of repair or inspection work is authorized for performance there.

As the operator of our nation’s air traffic control system, the FAA has an especially important role to play in the management of air traffic, including congestion at the busiest airports and in the busiest air corridors. Also, in the case of a security threat, unusual environmental risk, or other emergency, the FAA has power to shut down segments of airspace or even the entire U.S. airspace to civilian use, as occurred on September 11, 2001.

As an agency of the DHS, the U.S. TSA is the principal regulator of security matters in the aviation industry. Among other things, the U.S. TSA regulates the standard security programs in use by U.S. airports and by air carriers. These programs include elements relating to the training of flight crews, checking the identity and screening of passengers, application of security watchlists, and cooperation in threat assessments and responses.

CBP, also an agency of DHS, is the principal regulator of customs and immigration and enforcer of certain public health matters affecting the aviation industry. Whenever our air carrier operations include an international flight segment, we must provide CBP with an advance disclosure of passenger information, facilitate its inspection of baggage including inspections for prohibited substances or invasive species of plants or animals, and help ensure the proper disposal of any foreign-originating refuse on the aircraft.

The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) is the principal environmental regulator. In January 2021, the EPA promulgated new rules relating to the greenhouse emissions from carbon fuels used in aircraft engines. This will bring about a change in future aircraft engine designs and approvals and eventually lead to a turnover in which engines may remain in use in future years. This area of regulation is not yet settled. It still is subject to change based on domestic and international pressures to address the perceived needs of our global environment, making it impossible to say with any degree of certainty how such developments might impact our business in the future.

The vast majority of airports where we fly are owned and operated by state and local government entities. These airport authorities have the right to impose certain safety, security, and other regulations so long as they do not conflict with federal law. As the owners of the land on which the airport facilities are built, airport authorities also have extensive property rights that empower them to impose conditions on leasing and using airport facilities. The terms on which an airport authority might lease or allow use of its property can, at times, be on terms less favorable than would be customary for real estate transactions outside of an airport environment.

These regulatory authorities have the ability to stop a part or all of our business and flight operations such as by suspending or revoking our certifications or other authorizations. They also have the ability to impose monetary fines and other civil penalties and to make referrals for criminal prosecution. These actions may occur with or without a meaningful opportunity to be heard in our defense before action is taken by the regulator. Even if our position is potentially reasonable, we might nevertheless not prevail in an appeal because such tremendous discretion is given to the regulators in the first instance and because the regulator’s own interpretation or understanding of the facts and law may be given large deference by higher authorities during the appeal.

Foreign Regulatory Authorities

Most foreign countries have their own regulatory authorities that parallel those found in the United States. The complexity of interaction with the foreign regulators can be magnified by differences in language, culture, legal and social norms, tax and budgetary practices, and perspective on economic development and competition.

Privacy and Data Protection

There are many requirements regarding the collection, use, transfer, security, storage, destruction, and other processing of personally identifiable information and other data relating to individuals. Because our technology platform is an integral aspect of our business, compliance with laws governing the use, collection, and processing of personal data is necessary for us to achieve our objective of continuously enhancing the user experience of our mobile application and marketing site.

We receive collect, store, process, transmit, share and use personal information, and other customer data, including health information, and we rely in part on third parties that are not directly under our control to manage certain of these operations and to receive, collect, store, process, transmit, share, and use such personal information, including payment information. A variety of federal, state, local, municipal, and foreign laws and regulations, as well as industry standards (such as the payment card industry standards) govern the collection, storage, processing, sharing, use, retention and security of this information.

The CCPA establishes a privacy framework for covered businesses regarding data privacy rights for California residents. Covered businesses must provide certain disclosures to California residents, respond to certain requests by California residents for disclosures regarding their personal information, as well as offer California residents the right to opt out of sales of personal information. The CCPA contains a severe statutory damages framework of up to $2,500 per violation, or up to $7,500 per each intentional violation, and provides for private rights of action for certain breaches of personal information resulting from a covered business’s failure to implement reasonable security procedures and practices. Moreover, the California Privacy Rights Act, which takes effect on January 1, 2023, will expand California residents’ rights under the CCPA. We believe that the personal information we collect from California residents that use our app, the air transportation services we have offered in California in the past and direct marketing to California residents for those services, as well as our plans to offer future services in California, have made and in the future will make Wheels Up subject to compliance with California’s privacy laws.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Wheels Up and its affiliates have not had a work stoppage and none of our employees are represented by a labor organization or under any collective bargaining agreements. Wheels Up considers its employee relations to be good. Wheels Up strives to recruit from amongst the best talent in the industry and trains and rewards them appropriately to deliver quality service through our membership and flight services.

Intellectual Property

The protection of our technology and other intellectual property is an important aspect of our business. We seek to protect our intellectual property (including our technology and confidential information) through a combination of trademarks and trade secret protections, as well as contractual commitments and security procedures. We generally require our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality agreements and certain third parties to enter into nondisclosure agreements. We regularly review our technology development efforts and branding strategy to identify and assess the protection of new intellectual property. We own certain trademarks important to our business, such as the “Wheels Up” word and design marks.

We currently own certain Internet domain names, including “wheelsup.com”. The regulation of domain names in the United States is subject to change. Regulatory bodies could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we may not be able to acquire or maintain all domain names that use the name “Wheels Up” or are otherwise relevant to or descriptive of our business.

While software can be protected under copyright law, we have chosen to rely primarily on trade secret law in order to protect our proprietary software and have chosen not to register any copyrights in these works. In the United States, copyrights must be registered in order to bring a claim for infringement and to obtain certain types of remedies. Even if we decide to register a copyright in our software to bring an infringement action, the remedies and damages available to us for unauthorized use of our software may be limited.

Intellectual property laws, contractual commitments and security procedures provide only limited protection, and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated. Further, trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary materials may be independently developed by our competitors or revealed to the public or our competitors and no longer provide protection for the related intellectual property. In addition, intellectual property laws vary from country to country, and we have not sought trademark registrations outside of the United States. We may therefore be unable to protect certain of our proprietary technology, brands or other intellectual property in other jurisdictions.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We believe these actions are a normal incident of the nature and kind of business in which we are engaged. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, we do not believe that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Locations

Our corporate headquarters is located in New York, New York. We use this facility for executive management, finance and accounting, legal, human resource management, technology, marketing, sales and other administrative functions. We also have locations in California, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area, Colorado, Ohio, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Overview of Our Business

WUP was formed as a limited liability company in Delaware on July 1, 2013. Our mission is to democratize private aviation by delivering innovative, accessible, travel through cutting edge and simple-to-use proprietary technology and mobile applications. We have become a recognized market leader and are looking to redefine private flying by leveraging our unique digital platform. We connect flyers to private aircraft, and to one another, creating memorable lifestyle experiences.

We have a diversified and evolving business model generating revenue through flights, membership fees, management of aircraft, and other services. We operate under one reportable segment, which is private aviation services.

Flight revenue includes both retail and wholesale charter. WUP has one of the largest and most diverse mix of available aircraft in the industry. We have nearly 100 WUP branded aircraft in our fleet of owned and leased aircraft, which includes Turboprops, Light jets, Midsize jets, and Super-Midsize jets. We also have a managed fleet across all cabin classes of approximately 170 aircraft and an extensive network of third-party operators available in our program fleet where we can access over 1,200 additional safety vetted and verified partner aircraft in all cabin classes.

Members pay a fixed quoted amount for flights plus certain incidental or additional costs, if applicable. The quoted amount can be based on a contractual capped hourly rate or dynamically priced based on a number of variables at time of booking. Wholesale customers, such as charter flight brokers and third-party operators, primarily pay a fixed rate for flights. Members are also able to purchase Prepaid Blocks, which are dollar-denominated credits that can be applied to future costs incurred by members, including annual dues, flight services, and other incidental costs such as catering and ground transportation. Prepaid Block sales allow us to have a certain amount of revenue visibility into future flight and travel demand. Members who elect not to purchase a Fund Program “pay as they fly” by paying for their flights at the time of booking or after their flights.

Membership revenue is generated from initiation and annual renewal fees across three different annual subscription tiers — Connect, Core and Business — each of which is designed to provide the varying services required across a range of existing and potential private flyers. Core membership is ideal for the more frequent individual private flyer who wants guaranteed availability, high-touch account management and values ultimate convenience and flexibility. The Business membership is best suited for companies of any size that want a broader group of individuals in their organization to be able to book and fly, while also requiring maximum flexibility to meet their business needs. Our Business customers include companies that fully-outsource their private travel solution to WUP, including but not necessarily managing their privately-owned aircraft, and those that use WUP to serve or supplement their in-house flight desks. We have offered Core and Business memberships with guaranteed aircraft availability and fixed or capped rate pricing since our inception. During 2019, we launched Connect, our introductory membership tier. The Connect membership offers variable rate pricing on a per trip basis and is designed for the consumer with less frequent flight needs or who has more flexibility in their schedule. All membership options provide access through the Wheels Up App to on-demand charter flights, dynamic pricing, a variety of Shared Flights, empty-leg Hot Flights, Shuttles, and The Community, an online platform of members-only forums to facilitate flight sharing, enabling members to reduce their cost of flying private.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have recently added a non-membership offering to create a larger addressable market and expand flyer participation in our marketplace. Non-members now have access to a full-scale marketplace of private aircraft through the Wheels Up App where they can view the real-time dynamic pricing for available aircraft classes, making it possible to instantaneously search, book and fly. These flyers are not required to purchase a membership but may pay additional transaction fees not applicable to members and do not receive membership benefits. In addition, non-member flyers do not have aircraft availability guarantees as do members and flights are priced dynamically at a rate that are not capped.

The asset-light technology-driven marketplace we have developed continues to evolve and complement our existing membership model revenue stream. We anticipate the number of Active Users on the platform will continue to grow as more people become aware of and experience the intuitive, digital ease and seamless control of the WUP app.

We manage aircraft for owners in exchange for a recurring contractual fee. Under the terms of many of our management agreements, in addition to owners utilizing their own aircraft, the managed aircraft may be used to fulfill member and non-member flights. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes the recovery of owner incurred expenses as well as recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs.

In addition, we earn revenue from FBO and MRO ground services, flight management software subscriptions, sponsorship and partnership fees, and aircraft sales.

We have continued to make significant investments to support our mission and business, both organically by continuing to invest in pricing and scheduling optimization technology and in our people, and through highly strategic and complementary acquisitions. See “— Acquisitions” below for information on our recent operational and technological acquisitions that include further revenue streams and partnerships.

Financial highlights for 2020 include:

•

We generated revenue of $695.0 million, representing 81% year-over-year growth, including growth resulting from acquisitions consummated during 2020;

•

As of December 31, 2020, we had 9,212 Active Members and 11,345 Active Users, representing 59.0% and 96.0% year-over-year growth;

•

We had 44,579 Live Flight Legs, representing 16.2%, year-over-year growth;

•

We incurred a net loss of $85.4 million; and,

•

Our Adjusted EBITDA was $(52.4) million.

See “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA, information regarding our use of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, see “— Key Operating Metrics” for definitions of Active Members, Active Users and Live Flight Legs.

Key Factors Affecting Results of Operations

We believe that the following factors have affected our financial condition and results of operations and are expected to continue to have a significant effect:

Market Competition

We compete for market share in the private aviation industry, which consists of a highly fragmented group of companies providing varying types of services. The industry is customer driven, and highly competitive. Our ability to retain members is a key factor in our ability to generate revenue. We are impacted by current trends in both how technology is used to book charter trips and how new business models are expanding the types and variety of flight services offered. Options include a mix of whole aircraft ownership, fractional ownership, jet card ownership, membership models and other forms of access. We believe our business model differentiates us within the industry by striving to reduce the upfront cost of flying private while also providing more flexibility and availability compared to traditional competitive private aviation programs.

234

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Costs and Expense Management

Our operating results are impacted by our ability to manage costs and expenses and achieving a balance between investing in appropriate resources to grow revenue with a focus on driving decreased losses and eventual profitability. We are working on finding opportunities to enhance profit margins and operate more efficiently, including bringing routine airframe, engine maintenance and periodic inspections in-house and away from third-party vendors to help reduce costs. We believe this will increase the availability of our aircraft and lower the cost of providing our services. In addition, we have invested significant time and resources into developing sophisticated pricing and scheduling algorithms and data optimization engines to help optimize the utility and efficiency of our fleet. Our operations, data science and revenue management teams collectively use data and technology to focus on pricing accuracy, as well as to manage our flight costs to help drive our financial results.

Economic Conditions

The private aviation industry is volatile and affected by economic cycles and trends. On-demand flying is typically discretionary for members and customers and may be affected by negative trends in the economy. Consumer confidence, fluctuations in fuel prices, changes in governmental regulations, safety concerns, and other factors all could negatively impact our business. Typically, the larger cabin classes of aircraft are more sensitive to and affected by economic cycles.

Pilot Availability and Attrition

In recent years, we have experienced increased competition for qualified pilots that are eligible for hire due to our more stringent pilot qualifications and flight training standards. If the supply of qualified pilots is reduced or our actual pilot attrition rates are materially different than our projections, our operations and financial results could be adversely affected.

Acquisitions

Travel Management Company, LLC

On May 31, 2019, we invested in the expansion of our Light jet offering with the targeted acquisition of TMC, which has a fleet of 26 Hawker 400XP aircraft and is the largest wholesale floating fleet operator of Light jets in the United States. We acquired all the outstanding equity of TMC for $29.8 million in cash.

Avianis Systems LLC

On September 27, 2019, we acquired Avianis, the leading comprehensive and cloud-based flight management system. We entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of Avianis for 2,011,495 common interests in WUP and $14.4 million in cash. The Avianis digital platform allows for the management of aircraft operations and its software can also be used as a back-end flight aggregation tool for the Wheels Up App as well as power third-party operators. Avianis is being integrated with our existing technology and will be the common platform that we use to manage our fleets across our operating certificates.

Delta Private Jets, LLC

On January 17, 2020, we acquired all the outstanding equity of DPJ, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta, for 112,949,305 Class E preferred interests in WUP, which constituted 26.1% of the fully-diluted equity of WUP as of the time of issuance. DPJ provided management of aircraft on behalf of third-party owners and provides full service and in-house maintenance capabilities. As part of the acquisition, we also executed an exclusive long-term commercial cooperation agreement with Delta, which we believe was the first strategic partnership agreement of its kind in the private aviation industry. The Delta strategic relationship provides high value co-marketing products, features and benefits to WUP members and Delta customers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Gama Aviation LLC

On March 2, 2020, we acquired all the outstanding equity of Gama for 1,724,138 common interests in WUP, $41.3 million in cash and the issuance of two promissory notes with an aggregate initial principal amount of $27.5 million payable to certain affiliated parties of Gama. Prior to the acquisition date, Gama exclusively operated our Wheels Up branded aircraft as an independent third-party operator. Gama provides flight operations and aircraft management services, which includes the management of aircraft on behalf of third-party owners. In connection with the closing of the Gama acquisition, we also issued a promissory note to an affiliate of Signature Aviation in the initial principal amount of $0.8 million in satisfaction of certain pre-existing obligations owed by WUP to such entity.

Mountain Aviation, LLC

On January 5, 2021, we acquired all the outstanding equity of Mountain Aviation for 8,620,690 common interests in WUP and $10.0 million in cash. In addition, there is a potential incremental cash earnout of up to $15.0 million based on achieving certain financial performance metrics in specified business lines, which would be payable in the second quarter of 2023 to the extent achieved. Mountain Aviation adds to our Super-Midsize jet fleet and operations, provides full-service in-house maintenance capabilities, expands our presence in the Western U.S. and enhances our on-demand transcontinental charter flight capabilities.

Business Impact of COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 led to economic and business uncertainties resulting from governmental restrictions on air travel, cancellation of large public events, businesses suspending in-person meetings and the closure of popular tourist destinations. The uncertainty, restrictions and risks arising from the COVID-19 pandemic led to reduced demand for domestic passenger air travel — including a decrease in our private flight operations particularly in the second quarter and to a lesser extent in the third quarter of 2020.

See the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Information About WUP — Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic” for more information related to COVID-19.

Air Carrier Payroll Support Program

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act is a relief package intended to assist many aspects of the American economy. The CARES Act provides aid in the form of loans, grants, tax credits and other forms of government assistance. Specifically, the CARES Act provided the airline industry with up to $25.0 billion in grants with assurances the support is to be used exclusively for employee salaries, wages and benefits. The CARES Act also provided for up to $25.0 billion in secured loans to the airline industry.

WUP applied for government assistance under the Payroll Support Program from the Treasury as directed by the CARES Act. We were awarded a total of $74.2 million to support ongoing operations through payroll funding, which was fully received by September 30, 2020. In September 2020, we were notified that, based on funding availability, recipients that were currently in compliance with signed Payroll Support Program agreements would receive an approximate 3% increase in their award amount. As a result, we were granted an additional $2.2 million for a total grant of $76.4 million, which was received in October 2020. We utilized all of these proceeds to offset payroll expenses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2020. In August 2020, we were deemed eligible by the Treasury for a secured loan under the CARES Act, but elected not to apply for such funds. In December 2020, Congress authorized an additional $15.0 billion in financial assistance for the aviation industry as part of a $900.0 billion COVID-19 relief stimulus package included within the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. Given the recovery in our business in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the second and third quarters following the onset of COVID-19, we did not apply for a second round of funding.

The support payments were conditioned on our agreement to refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through September 30, 2020. Other conditions include continuing essential

air service as directed by DOT, a prohibition on conducting any stock repurchase or paying any dividends through September 30, 2021, certain restrictions on executive and other employee compensation through March 24, 2022 and certain ongoing reporting obligations through March 24, 2022. Based on the amount received, we were not required to provide financial protection, such as issuing a warrant, other equity interest or debt instrument, to the Treasury in conjunction with the payroll support obtained.

Our recently acquired Mountain Aviation subsidiary also applied for and received a grant under the CARES Act Payroll Support Program, which was received prior to our acquisition of the company in January 2021. The terms and conditions applicable to such grant were identical to the terms and condition of the WUP grant. Mountain Aviation also received the PPP Loan on April 14, 2020 from Zions Bancorporation N.A. dba Vectra Bank (“Vectra”) under the SBA’s PPP enacted as part of the CARES Act in the principal amount of $3.2 million. In connection with this acquisition, a portion of the purchase price otherwise payable by us to Mountain Aviation’s former equity owner in an amount equal to the principal and interest then outstanding on this loan was placed in an escrow account at Vectra, to be paid to Vectra if and to the extent the PPP Loan were not to be forgiven by the SBA under the PPP. Mountain Aviation’s former equity owner has agreed to pay any amounts owing under the PPP Loan in excess of the amount in escrow and has agreed to indemnify us for any obligations we incur under the PPP Loan to the extent not satisfied from the escrow account.

Seasonality

Our results of operations for any specific period are not necessarily indicative of those for an entire year since the private aviation industry is subject to seasonal fluctuations and general economic conditions. Our operations are somewhat favorably affected by increased utilization of our aircraft in the summer months. Also, in 2020, we were negatively affected in the second and third quarters of the year by the impact of COVID-19.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results of operations below, we report certain key financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors, about WUP. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents, including that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in WUP’s financial measures. In addition, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for (i) interest income (expense), (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) equity-based compensation expense, (iv) acquisition, integration, and capital raise related expenses, (v) public company readiness related expenses and (vi) other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including the CARES Act grant and COVID-19 response initiatives for 2020. We include Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure for assessing operating performance and for the following:

•

Used in conjunction with bonus program target achievement determinations, strategic internal planning, annual budgeting, allocating resources and making operating decisions; and,

Key Operating Metrics

In addition to financial measures, we regularly review certain key operating metrics to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of resources and make decisions regarding business strategies. We believe that these metrics can be useful for understanding the underlying trends in our business.

The following table summarizes our key operating metrics:

	2020		2019		2018
Active Members		9,212		5,787		4,667
Active Users		11,345		5,787		4,667
Live Flight Legs		44,579		38,363		33,333

Active Members

We define Active Members as the number of Connect, Core and Business membership accounts that generated membership revenue in a given period. We use Active Members to assess the adoption of our premium offerings which is a key factor in our penetration of the market in which we operate and a key driver of membership and flight revenue.

Active Users

We define Active Users as Active Members and legacy WUPJ jet card holders as of the reporting date plus unique non-member consumers who completed a revenue generating flight at least once in a given period and excluding wholesale flight activity. While a unique consumer can complete multiple revenue generating flights on our platform in a given period, that unique user is counted as only one Active User. We use Active Users to assess the adoption of our platform and frequency of transactions, which are key factors in our penetration of the market in which we operate and our growth in revenue.

Live Flight Legs

We define Live Flight Legs as the number of completed one-way revenue generating flight legs in a given period. The metric excludes empty repositioning legs and owner legs related to aircraft under management. We believe Live Flight Legs are a useful metric to measure the scale and usage of our platform, and our growth in flight revenue.

Component of Results of Our Operations

The key components of our results of operations include:

Revenue

Revenue is derived from flight, membership, aircraft management, and other services.

Flight revenue consists of retail, wholesale and special mission flights. Members can either pay as they fly or prepay for flights when they purchase a Prepaid Block.

239

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Membership revenue is comprised of a one-time initiation fee paid at the commencement of a membership and recurring annual dues. In the first year of membership, a portion of the initiation fee is applied to annual dues. The remainder of the initiation fee, less any flight credits, is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated duration of the customer relationship period, which is currently estimated to be three years. Members are charged recurring annual dues to maintain their membership. Revenue related to the annual dues are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the related contractual period. If a customer qualifies to earn Delta miles in the SkyMiles Program as part of their membership, then a portion of the membership fee is allocated at contract inception.

Aircraft management revenue consists of contractual monthly management fees charged to aircraft owners, recovery of owner incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, and recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees and parking. We pass recovery and recharge amounts back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin.

Other revenue primarily consists of (i) ground services derived from aircraft customers that use our FBO and MRO facilities, and (ii) flight-related services. In addition, other revenue includes subscription fees from third-party operators for access to the Avianis flight software, fees we may receive from third-party sponsorships and partnerships, and whole aircraft sales.

Costs and Expenses

Costs and expenses, consist of the following components:

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of direct expenses incurred to provide flight services and facilitate operations, including aircraft lease costs, fuel, crew travel, maintenance and third-party flight costs. Cost of revenue also consists of compensation expenses, including equity-based compensation and related benefits for employees that directly facilitate flight operations. In addition, cost of revenue includes aircraft owner expenses incurred such as maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, and certain aircraft operating costs such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees and parking.

Other Operating Expenses

Technology and Development Expense

Technology and development expenses primarily consists of compensation expenses for engineering, product development and design employees, including equity-based compensation, expenses associated with ongoing improvements to, and maintenance of, our platform offerings and other technology. Technology and development expenses also includes software expenses and technology consulting fees.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consists of compensation expenses in support of sales and marketing such as commissions, salaries, equity-based compensation and related benefits. Sales and marketing expense also includes expenses associated with advertising, promotions of our services, member experience, account management and brand-building.

General and administrative expense also include corporate office rent expense, third-party professional fees, acquisition and integration related expenses, public company readiness expenses and any other cost or expense incurred not deemed to be related to cost of revenue, sales and marketing expense or technology and development expense.

240

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consists of depreciation of capitalized aircraft. Depreciation and amortization also includes amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired finite-lived intangible assets.

We allocate overhead such as facility costs and telecommunications charges, based on department headcount, as we believe this to be the most accurate measure. As a result, a portion of general overhead expenses are reflected in each operating expense category.

Interest Income

Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on cash equivalents in money market funds and investments in commercial paper.

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily consists of interest paid or payable and the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs on our credit facilities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Revenue

Revenue increased by $310.1 million, or 81%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the following changes in flight revenue, membership revenue, aircraft management revenue and other revenue (in thousands, except percentages):

	Year Ended December 31,						Change in
	2020			2019			$			%
Flight		$	495,419		$	334,263		$	161,156		48%
Membership			54,622			45,868			8,754		19%
Aircraft management			132,729			—			132,729		N/A

Total		$	694,981		$	384,912		$	310,069		81%

The increase in flight revenue was driven by a 16% increase in Live Flight Legs and a 28% increase in revenue per leg. The increase in membership revenue was driven by a 59% increase in Active Members. The increase in aircraft management revenue and other revenue was from our acquisitions of WUPJ and Gama. Revenue growth was partially offset by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, particularly in the second quarter and to a lesser extent in the third quarter of the year.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased by $294.1 million, or 86%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in cost of revenue is primarily attributable to increased Live Flight Legs and cost of revenue associated with aircraft management, which is in line with the increase in revenue.

Contribution Margin decreased 2.8% compared to the prior year, largely due to the impact of COVID-19, particularly during the second quarter and to a lesser extent in the third quarter of 2020. See “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for a definition of Contribution Margin, information regarding our use of Contribution Margin and a reconciliation of gross margin to Contribution Margin.

Other Operating Expenses

Technology and Development Expense

Technology and development expenses increased by $7.0 million, or 50%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in technology and development expenses was primarily attributable to an increase of $2.7 million in costs associated with technology equipment and headcount growth as a result of our acquisitions. In addition, software expenses increased $2.1 million as we continue to invest in building out the WUP Marketplace and related technology capabilities. Third-party consultant fees also increased $3.2 million, which was partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in capitalized costs related to internal use software.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $14.5 million, or 36%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in sales and marketing was primarily attributable to a $10.7 million increase in sales commissions due to growth in memberships and flight revenue. In addition, headcount and related compensation costs increased as a result of our acquisitions of WUPJ and Gama, which was partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in event spending.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $36.5 million, or 128%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to a $17.1 million increase in personnel expenses, including equity-based compensation, due to headcount growth as a result of our acquisitions. During 2020, we also incurred a credit loss of $5.4 million on an outstanding loan to a senior executive that is expected be forgiven as part of the Business Combination. In addition, third-party professional fees including services associated with acquisitions and for public company readiness increased $6.3 million, and rent and related office costs increased $3.6 million. We changed our corporate headquarters in New York during 2020, taking on additional space and incurring overlapping costs with our prior office space primarily during the first half of the year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $19.2 million, or 49%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase in depreciation and amortization expenses was primarily attributable to a $16.7 million increase in intangible amortization expense related to acquisitions and a $2.2 million increase in amortization of software development costs.

CARES Act Grant

Reflects government assistance received under the Payroll Support Program as directed by the CARES Act. During 2020, as a result of the negative impact of COVID-19, we were awarded a total grant of $76.4 million from the Treasury to support ongoing operations through payroll funding. Due to the improving performance of our business in the latter half of 2020, we elected to not participate in the second round of funding for the Payroll Support Program.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $0.1 million, or 11%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to our depositing cash into money market funds during the period and not to investments in commercial paper that have a higher rate of interest. In addition, while our cash and cash equivalents balance is higher than prior year most of the amount held as of December 31, 2020 can be attributed primarily to Prepaid Blocks received in the fourth quarter of the year, with approximately $218.9 million in Prepaid Blocks received in December 2020 alone.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $6.4 million, or 22%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to a reduction in principal outstanding on our credit facilities due in part to a prepayment of $20.5 million and scheduled payments of $43.0 million, which resulted in a $3.4 million benefit, and a reduction in the comparative average LIBOR rate on our variable rate credit facilities that resulted in a $2.4 million benefit.

Revenue

Revenue increased by $52.8 million, or 16%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the following changes in flight revenue, membership revenue, and other revenue (in thousands, except percentages):

	Year Ended December 31,				Change in
	2019		2018		$		%
Flight		334,263		284,660		49,603		17%
Membership		45,868		43,043		2,825		7%
Other		4,781		4,441		340		8%
Total		384,912		332,144		52,768		16%

The increase in flight revenue was driven by a 15% increase in Live Flight Legs. The increase in membership revenue was driven by a 24% increase in Active Members.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased by $57.4 million, or 20%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to increased Live Flight Legs and is in line with the increase in revenue.

Contribution Margin decreased 3.2% compared to the prior year, due largely to increased third-party maintenance costs on our owned and leased fleet. See “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for a definition of Contribution Margin, information regarding our use of Contribution Margin and a reconciliation of gross margin to Contribution Margin.

Other Operating Expenses

Technology and Development Expense

Technology and development expenses increased by $5.8 million, or 70%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in technology and development expenses was primarily attributable to increased personnel and related costs of $4.3 million due to headcount growth and the acquisition of Avianis as we invested in building the WUP Marketplace and related technology capabilities, partially offset by capitalized costs related to internal use software.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.4 million, or 3%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in sales and marketing was primarily attributable to a $2.3 million decrease in event costs related to the Wheels Down lifestyle program and a $0.4 million decrease in advertising expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $12.5 million, or 79%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to a $5.2 million increase in personnel expenses, including equity-based compensation, due to headcount growth as a result of the acquisition of TMC and a $7.0 million increase in third-party professional fees, primarily related to acquisitions, as well as public company readiness expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $4.1 million, or 12%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses was primarily attributable to a $3.2 million increase in depreciation of property and equipment and a $0.6 million increase in amortization of software development costs.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $0.3 million, or 34%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to depositing a higher percentage of cash into money market funds during the period rather than investments in commercial paper that have a higher rate of interest.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $2.3 million. or 7%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to a $35.8 million decrease in the outstanding principal balance of long-term debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically consisted of financing activities, including proceeds from the issuance of preferred interests and borrowings under our credit facilities, and operating activities, primarily from the increase in deferred revenue associated with Prepaid Blocks. As of December 31, 2020, we had $312.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, which were primarily invested in money market funds, $12.1 million of restricted cash and no amounts available for future borrowings under our credit facilities.

Since inception, we have consistently maintained a working capital deficit, in which our current liabilities exceed our current assets. This is common within the private aviation industry and is due to the nature of our deferred revenue, primarily related to members unused Prepaid Blocks, which are performance obligations generally for future flights. Our primary needs for liquidity are to fund working capital,

245

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acquisitions, debt service requirements, lease and purchase obligations, capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. Our cash needs vary from period to period primarily based on the timing and costs of aircraft engine overhauls, repairs, and maintenance and the timing of any acquisitions and any aircraft purchases.

We believe factors that could affect our liquidity include our rate of revenue growth, changes in demand for our services, competitive pricing pressures, the timing and extent of spending on software development and other growth initiatives, our ability to achieve further reductions in operating expenses, and overall economic conditions. To the extent that our current liquidity is insufficient to fund future activities, we may need to raise additional funds. In the future, we may attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or through debt financing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the ownership of existing shareholders will be diluted. The incurrence of additional debt financing would result in debt service obligations, and any future instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that could restrict our operations. In the event that additional funds are required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all.

We have incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and significant losses from operations in the past. We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, along with proceeds upon consummation of the Business Combination, will be sufficient to meet our projected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

246

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $81.6 million. In 2020, the cash inflow from investing activities was primarily attributable to $97.1 million from the acquisitions of WUPJ and Gama including cash acquired.

Sources of Liquidity

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through issuance of preferred interests, cash from operations, borrowings of long-term debt, and promissory notes.

Credit Facilities

1st Credit Facility

In November 2013, we entered into a secured credit facility (the “1st Facility”) that provided up to $100.0 million of financing from various lenders to acquire up to 22 King Air 350i aircraft. The 1st Facility initially had an A-1 class (the “A-1”) consisting of $60.0 million of borrowing capacity and an A-2 class (the “A-2”) consisting of $40.0 million of borrowing capacity, which were borrowed ratably as aircraft were purchased.

Amended 1st Credit Facility

In August 2014, we increased the availability under the 1st Facility to a total of $175.4 million by entering into an amended and restated secured credit agreement (the “Amended 1st Facility”). The Amended 1st Facility (i) afforded the ability to finance the acquisition of an additional 13 aircraft under the First Firm Order, and (ii) increased the amount available to be borrowed against each aircraft through a second lien applied on a retroactive basis against already purchased aircraft and on a prospective basis as each additional aircraft is purchased.

247

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition to the A-1 and the A-2, the Amended 1st Facility added an A-3 class (the “A-3”) in an amount up to $57.9 million. The second lien referenced above, the B class (the “B”), was also added to allow us to borrow a total of $17.5 million against the 35 total aircraft in the Amended 1st Facility.

In April 2016, we obtained a waiver under the Amended 1st Facility to incur an additional indebtedness to finance additional King Air 350i aircraft under a 2nd Facility (as defined below). As part of obtaining this waiver, we (i) paid a fee to the consenting lenders and (ii) were required to deposit $10.0 million in cash in a restricted account.

In June 2017, we obtained another waiver under the Amended 1st Facility to (a) incur additional indebtedness to finance additional King Air 350i aircraft under a 3rd Facility (as defined below) and (b) refinance or prepay the B in the future. As part of obtaining this particular waiver, (i) we paid a fee to the consenting lenders and (ii) Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC was required to contribute $70.0 million in cash to Wheels Up Partners LLC to incur the new indebtedness.

In September 2020, we made a $20.5 million prepayment of the principal outstanding on the Amended 1st Facility, which released 11 purchased aircraft from the Amended 1st Facility.

As of December 31, 2020, there are 24 aircraft purchased with financing from the Amended 1st Facility that serve as collateral for the Amended 1st Facility.

2nd Credit Facility

In May 2016, we formed WU Leasing I LLC (“WUL I”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to enter into a second secured credit facility (the “2nd Facility”) with various lenders, which provided up to $120.8 million to finance up to 23 King Air 350i aircraft. The 2nd Facility has an A class (the “2nd Facility A”) of lenders, which committed to lend $86.3 million, and a B class (the “2nd Facility B”) of lenders, which committed to lend $34.5 million.

The 2nd Facility is structured as a bankruptcy-remote financing structure, which is a common financing structure designed to offer lenders added protection by using a special purpose entity to hold assets financed by a loan. A special purpose entity is a subsidiary company with an asset and liability structure that makes its obligations secure even if the parent company experiences a bankruptcy event. As part of the bankruptcy-remote financing structure, the aircraft assets are required to be held in an owner trust. In our structure, WUL I is the special purpose entity, and it holds the aircraft assets through an owner trust (the “WUL I Trust”), which was established by WUL I pursuant to a trust agreement (the “2nd Facility Trust Agreement”) dated May 27, 2016, between WUL I, as trustor, and Bank of Utah, as owner trustee. The WUL I Trust is the owner of the aircraft financed by the 2nd Facility and WUL I is the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the WUL I Trust. So long as no event of default has occurred, WUL I has access to the 2nd Facility aircraft through the 2nd Facility Trust Agreement. Once all payments are made under the 2nd Facility, WUL I may direct the owner trustee to distribute the aircraft assets to another entity.

In June 2017, we obtained a waiver under the 2nd Facility in order to (a) incur an additional indebtedness to finance additional King Air 350i aircraft under a 3rd Facility and (b) refinance or prepay the B in the future. As part of obtaining this waiver, (i) we paid a fee to certain consenting lenders and (ii) Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC was required to contribute $70.0 million in cash to Wheels Up Partners LLC in order to incur the new indebtedness. All 23 aircraft purchased with financing from the 2nd Facility serve as collateral for the 2nd Facility.

3rd Credit Facility

In June 2017, we formed WU Leasing II LLC (“WUL II”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to enter into a third secured credit facility (the “3rd Facility”) with various lenders, which provided up to $89.3 million to finance up to 17 King Air 350i aircraft. The 3rd Facility only has a Class A (the “3rd Facility A”) of lenders, which committed to lend up to $89.3 million.

248

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The 3rd Facility is also structured as a bankruptcy-remote financing structure identical to the 2nd Facility structure. In this 3rd Facility structure, the aircraft assets are held in an owner trust (the “WUL II Trust”) established by WUL II pursuant to a trust agreement (the “3rd Facility Trust Agreement”) dated June 30, 2017, between WUL II, as trustor, and Bank of Utah, as owner trustee. The WUL II Trust is the owner of the aircraft financed by the 3rd Facility and WUL II is the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the WUL II Trust. So long as no event of default has occurred, WUL II has access to the 3rd Facility aircraft through the 3rd Facility Trust Agreement. Once all payments are made under the 3rd Facility, WUL II may direct the owner trustee to distribute the aircraft assets to another entity. All 14 aircraft purchased with financing from the 3rd Facility serve as collateral for the 3rd Facility.

The Amended 1st Facility, 2nd Facility and 3rd Facility require principal and interest payments on a quarterly basis based on a fixed amortization schedule per aircraft over 28 quarters from each aircraft’s acquisition date, with a balloon payment due in the 28th quarter. The Amended 1st Facility, 2nd Facility and 3rd Facility also require additional principal payments of $300 dollars per hour if an aircraft is flown over a level of 1,200 hours per year on an annual cumulative basis. As of December 31, 2020, no aircraft has flown over a level of 1,200 hours per year on an annual cumulative basis and we have not made any additional principal payments as a result.

Interest payments are due quarterly for all classes of the Amended 1st Facility (A-1, A-2, A-3, B) and are based on a stated rate (the “Spread”) in excess of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, except in the case of the B, which following the December 2017 refinancing, has a fixed rate of 12.00%. The Spreads on the A-1, the A-2, and the A-3 are 8.55%.

Interest payments are due quarterly for all classes of the 2nd Facility (2nd Facility A, 2nd Facility B) and are based on the Spread plus LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The Spreads for the 2nd Facility A and 2nd Facility B are 6.50% and 8.50%, respectively.

Interest payments are due quarterly for all classes of the 3rd Facility (3rd Facility A) and are based on LIBOR plus 7.10%.

As of December 31, 2020, there were no amounts available for future borrowings under any of our credit facilities.

The credit facilities contain customary restrictive covenants including, certain limitations on: incurrence of additional debt and guarantees of indebtedness; creation of liens; mergers, consolidations or sales of substantially all of our assets; sales or other dispositions of assets other than in the normal course of business; distributions or dividends and repurchases of common stock; restricted payments, including without limitation, certain restricted investments; engaging in transactions with affiliates; and, sale and leaseback transactions. The credit facilities also contain certain financial covenants that if not met would be considered an event of default that could result in acceleration of the obligations under the agreement.

Promissory Notes

On March 2, 2020, as part of the acquisition of Gama, we executed (i) a promissory note to Gama Group Inc. (the “Gama Note”), (ii) a promissory note to Signature Flight Support, LLC (the “Signature Flight Support Note”), and (iii) a settlement note to Signature Flight Support, LLC (the “Settlement Note”, and together with the Signature Flight Support Note and Gama Note, the “Notes”). The maturity date of the Notes is March 2, 2024. The interest rates on the Notes are 4.26% per annum through March 2, 2022, 7.50% per annum through March 2, 2023 and 8.50% per annum through March 2, 2024, which is due and payable quarterly. In addition, we are required to make a mandatory prepayment on the Notes following the consummation of a capital raise. The prepayment amount is equal to the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest. The closing of the Business Combination will require us to repay the entire outstanding principal of the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, at that date.

For further information on the credit facilities and promissory notes, see Note 9 “Long-term debt” of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our principal commitments consist of contractual cash obligations under our credit facilities, the Notes and operating leases for certain controlled aircraft, corporate headquarters, and operational facilities, including aircraft hangars. Our obligations under our credit facilities and the Notes are described in “— Liquidity and Capital Resources” above. For further information on leases see Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies” and Note 12 “Leases” of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations is based on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain amounts included in or affecting the consolidated financial statements presented in this proxy statement/prospectus and related disclosure must be estimated, requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Management believes that the accounting policies set forth below comprise the most important “critical accounting policies” for the company. A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that involves difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management evaluates such policies on an ongoing basis, based upon historical results and experience, consultation with experts and other methods that management considers reasonable in the particular circumstances under which the judgments and estimates are made, as well as management’s forecasts as to the manner in which such circumstances may change in the future.

Revenue Recognition

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

•

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.

•

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.

•

Determination of the transaction price.

•

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and,

•

Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.

There are some contracts which have additional performance obligations, such as allowing upgrades to a different aircraft or providing discounts on prepaid flights. For contracts that include additional performance obligations, we account for individual performance obligations if they are distinct. If there is a group of performance obligations bundled in a contract, the transaction price is required to be allocated based upon the relative standalone selling prices of the promised services underlying each performance obligation. We generally determine the standalone selling price based on the prices charged to customers. If there are services included in the transaction price for which the standalone selling price is not directly observable, then we would first apply the standalone selling price for those services that are known, such as the flight hourly rate, and then allocate the total consideration proportionately to the other performance obligations in the contract.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised service is transferred to our member or the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those

250

TABLE OF CONTENTS

services. Our revenue is reported net of discounts and incentives. We generally do not issue refunds for flights unless there is a failure to meet our service obligations. Refunded amounts for initiation fees and annual dues are granted to some customers that no longer wish to remain members following their first flight. We generally do not have contracts that include variable terms.

Deferred revenue is an obligation to transfer services for which we have already received consideration. Upon receipt of a prepayment for all or a portion of the transaction price, we initially recognize a contract liability. The contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized, when we satisfy our performance obligation at a future date. Deferred revenue primarily consists of flights, Prepaid Blocks, jet card deposits, initiation fees including credits, and annual dues payments received in advance for future spend with WUP.

We utilize registered independent third-party air carriers in the performance of a portion of our flights. We evaluate whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another party, as the agent, using a control model. The nature of the flight services we provide to members is similar regardless of which third-party air carrier is involved. WUP directs third-party air carriers to provide an aircraft to a member or customer. Based on evaluation of the control model, it was determined that WUP acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue arrangements, other than when acting as an intermediary ticketing agent for travel on Delta and when managed aircraft owners charter their own aircraft, as we have the authority to direct the key components of the service on behalf of the member or customer regardless of which third-party is used. If WUP has primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation, then the revenue and the associated costs are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations.

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

We account for business combinations and asset acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. For acquisitions meeting the definition of a business combination in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the excess of the purchase price over the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred for business combinations. For acquisitions meeting the definition of an asset acquisition, the fair value of the consideration transferred, including transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. No goodwill is recognized in an asset acquisition. All of our acquisitions to date have met the definition of a business combination, excluding Avianis, which was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

The acquisition method of accounting requires us to exercise judgment and make estimates and assumptions regarding fair values using the information available as of the date of acquisition. We may also refine these estimates over a one-year measurement period, to reflect any new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. If we are required to retroactively adjust provisional amounts that we have recorded for the fair value of assets and liabilities in connection with an acquisition, these adjustments could materially impact our financial position and results of operations. Assumptions that we make in estimating the fair value of acquired developed technology, trade names, customer relationships and other identifiable intangible assets include future cash flows that we expect to generate from the acquired assets. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, we could record impairment charges. In addition, we have estimated the useful lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If our estimates of the useful lives change, depreciation or amortization expense could be accelerated or slowed, which could materially impact our results of operations.

251

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. The carrying value of goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred (i.e., a triggering event). Our annual goodwill impairment testing date is October 1st. We are required to test goodwill on a reporting unit basis. We determined private aviation services is our one reporting unit to which the entire amount of goodwill is allocated.

Goodwill impairment is the amount by which our reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. We use both qualitative and quantitative approaches when testing goodwill for impairment. Our qualitative approach evaluates various events including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, changes in the business environment in which we operate and other specific facts and circumstances. If, after assessing qualitative factors, we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of our reporting unit is greater than the carrying value, then performing a quantitative impairment assessment is unnecessary and our goodwill is not considered to be impaired. However, if based on the qualitative assessment we conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, or if we elect to skip the optional qualitative assessment approach, we proceed with performing the quantitative impairment assessment, to quantify the amount of impairment, if any.

We primarily determine the fair value of our reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model, or income approach. The completion of the discounted cash flow model requires that we make a number of significant estimates and assumptions, which include projections of future revenue, costs and expenses, capital expenditures and working capital changes, as well as assumptions about the estimated weighted average cost of capital and other relevant variables. We base our estimates and assumptions on our recent performance, our expectations of future performance, economic or market conditions and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Actual future results may differ from those estimates.

Intangible assets, other than goodwill, acquired in a business combination are recognized at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which was determined based on management’s estimate of the period over which the asset will contribute to our future cash flows. We periodically reassess the useful lives of our definite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that useful lives have significantly changed from the previous estimate.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include aircraft, property and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets. We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The circumstances that would indicate potential impairment may include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the manner in which an asset is being used or losses associated with the use of an asset. We review long-lived assets for impairment at the individual asset or the asset group level for which the lowest level of independent cash flows can be identified and measured. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is determined not to be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized and a write-down to fair value is recorded.

Equity-Based Compensation

We issue equity-based compensation awards to employees and consultants, including stock options, profits interests and restricted interests, under a stock option plan and management incentive plan. Equity-based compensation awards are measured at the date of grant based on the estimated fair value of the respective award and the resulting compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the respective award, which is generally a vesting period of four years. Certain awards have a performance condition that provide for accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of a change in control or an initial public offering including consummation of a transaction with a special-purpose

252

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acquisition company. For performance-based awards, the grant date fair value of the award is expensed over the vesting period when the performance condition is considered probable of being achieved. We account for forfeitures of awards as they occur.

Fair value of equity-based compensation awards is determined using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of the grant date fair value of awards issued is affected by a number of variables, including the fair value of our underlying common interest, expected trading volatility over the term of the award, the expected term of the award, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield.

•

Expected Volatility. As our common interests are not actively traded, we use the average volatility of a mix of several unrelated publicly traded companies within the airline industry and certain travel technology companies, which we consider to be comparable to our business, over a period equivalent to the expected term of the awards.

•

Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our equity-based awards are expected to be outstanding. We determine the expected term using the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term of the award due to us having insufficient historical exercise data.

•

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The interest rates used are based on the implied yield available for zero-coupon Treasury notes at the time of grant with maturities approximately equal to the expected term of the award.

•

Expected Dividend Yield. The dividend rate used is zero as we have never paid any cash dividends on our common interests and do not currently anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

We evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on each grant date. In the absence of a public trading market, the grant date fair value of our common interests was determined by our board of directors, with input from management and the assistance of an independent third-party valuation specialist. Our board of directors intended all stock options granted to have an exercise price per share not less than the per share fair value of our common interests on the date of grant. The valuations of our common interests were determined in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Practice Series, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.

The assumptions we use in the valuation models were based on future expectations combined with management judgment, and considering a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common interests as of the date of each stock option grant, including the following:

•

the nature and history of our business;

•

the economic outlook in general and the outlook of our industry;

•

our stage of development and the competitive environment;

•

our historical and forecasted operating results;

•

our overall financial position;

•

the rights and preferences of our preferred interests relative to our common interests;

•

the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale based on current conditions;

•

any adjustment necessary to recognize a discount for lack of marketability; and,

•

the market performance of comparable publicly-traded companies.

In valuing our equity-based awards, we determined the total equity value of our business considering various valuation approaches including the income approach and market approach. Based on our facts and circumstances, we primarily used a discounted cash flow method, or the income approach, to approximate the fair value of our total equity on the grant date of a respective award.

As described above, the income approach involves applying appropriate discount rates to estimated cash flows that are based on forecasts of revenue, costs, and capital expenditures, which are then discounted

253

TABLE OF CONTENTS

back to the present value using a rate of return derived from companies of similar type and risk profile. The discount rate reflects the risks inherent in the cash flows and the market rates of return available from alternative investments of similar type and quality as of the valuation date. Our assumptions underlying the estimates were consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage the business. The risks associated with achieving our forecasts were assessed in selecting the appropriate discount rates. As there have not been enough transactions with available market data involving similar companies, we considered but did not apply the market approach.

We then used the option pricing method to allocate the equity value and determine the estimated fair value of our common interests. The option pricing method allocates values to each equity class based on the liquidation preferences, participation rights, and exercise prices of the equity class. We also include a discount to recognize the risk associated with the lack of marketability and liquidity of our equity. The discount adjustment is applied to account for the fact holders of private company interests do not have access to trading markets similar to those enjoyed by stockholders of public companies.

Application of these approaches involves the development of significant estimates, judgment, and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, costs and expenses, and cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable companies, and weighting the probability of certain future events. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions or the relationships between those assumptions impact our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the fair value recorded for our common interests and ultimately how much equity-based compensation expense is recognized.

The grant date fair value calculated using the methodology discussed above is also utilized with respect to profit interests and restricted interests. Restricted interests have a performance condition, as well as a service condition to vest. As a result, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance condition has been satisfied. Subsequent to satisfaction the performance condition, compensation expense is recognized to the extent the requisite service period has been completed and compensation expense thereafter is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For further information on recent accounting standards, see Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the ordinary course of operating our business, we are exposed to market risks. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position or results of operations due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our principal market risks are related to interest rates and aircraft fuel.

Interest Rates

We are subject to market risk associated with changing interest rates on certain of our credit facilities, which are variable rate debt. The variable interest rates are based on LIBOR. Interest rates applicable to our variable rate debt could potentially rise and increase the amount of interest expense incurred. We do not purchase or hold any derivative instruments to protect against the effects of changes in interest rates.

As of December 31, 2020, we had $181.1 million of variable rate debt including current maturities. A hypothetical 100-basis points increase in market interest rates for the period would have resulted in approximately $2.1 million of additional interest expense in our consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Aircraft Fuel

We are subject to market risk associated with changes in the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Aircraft fuel expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 represented 12.0% of our total cost of revenue. Based on our 2020 fuel consumption, a hypothetical 10.0% increase in the average price per gallon of aircraft

254

TABLE OF CONTENTS

fuel would have increased fuel expense by approximately $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. We do not purchase or hold any derivative instruments to protect against the effects of changes in fuel. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Wheels Up’s Business and Industry — Significant increases in fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.” for additional information.

None of Wheels Up’s executive officers has served as a director or member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity, other than WUP, that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of Wheels Up’s board of directors.

Compensation of Directors and Officers

Overview

Following the Closing, Wheels Up’s executive compensation program is expected to be consistent with WUP’s existing compensation policies and philosophies, which are designed to:

•

attract, retain and motivate senior management leaders who are capable of advancing our mission and strategy and ultimately, creating and maintaining our long-term equity value. Such leaders must engage in a collaborative approach and possess the ability to execute Wheels Up’s business strategy in an industry characterized by competitiveness and growth;

•

reward senior management in a manner aligned with financial performance; and

•

align senior management’s interests with Wheels Up’s equity owners’ long-term interests through equity participation and ownership.

Following the Closing, decisions with respect to the compensation of Wheels Up’s executive officers, including its named executive officers, will be made by the compensation committee of Wheels Up’s board of directors. The following discussion is based on the present expectations as to the compensation of the named executive officers and directors of Wheels Up following the Business Combination. The actual compensation of Wheels Up’s named executive officers will depend on the judgment of the members of the compensation committee and may differ from that set forth in the following discussion.

It is anticipated that compensation for Wheels Up’s executive officers will have the following components: base salary, cash bonus opportunities, long-term incentive compensation, broad-based employee benefits and severance benefits. Base salaries, broad-based employee benefit, and severance benefits will be designed to attract and retain senior management talent. Wheels Up will also use annual cash bonuses and long-term equity awards to promote performance-based pay that aligns the interests of the named executive officers with the long-term interests of Wheels Up’s equity-owners and to enhance executive retention.

Base Salary

It is expected that the base salary for each named executive officer of Wheels Up that is currently in effect will continue following the Business Combination, subject to the terms of each named executive officer’s employment agreement and any adjustments made in connection with the compensation committee’s annual review of the named executive officers’ base salaries.

Annual Incentive Bonuses

It is expected that Wheels Up will continue to use annual cash incentive bonuses for the named executive offices to motivate their achievement of short-term performance goals and to tie a portion of their cash compensation to performance. Near the beginning of each calendar year, the compensation committee will select the performance targets, target amounts, target award opportunities and other terms

261

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and conditions of annual cash bonuses for the named executive officers, subject to the terms of their employment agreements. Following the end of each year, the compensation committee will determine the extent to which the performance targets were achieved and the amount of the award that is payable to the named executive officers.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

Wheels Up is expected to use stock-based awards in future years to promote its interests by providing its named executive officers with the opportunity to acquire equity interests as an incentive for their remaining in Wheels Up’s service and aligning the named executive officers’ interests with those of Wheels Up’s equity holders. Stock-based awards will be awarded in future years under the 2021 Plan, which has been adopted by Aspirational’s board of directors and is being submitted to Aspirational’s shareholders for approval at the special meeting. For a description of the 2021 Plan, see the section entitled “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.”

Other Compensation

It is expected that Wheels Up will continue to maintain various employee benefit plans currently maintained by WUP, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance and 401(k) plans, paid vacation, sick leave and holidays, flight hours and employee assistance program benefits in which the named executive officers will participate.

Director Compensation

Following the Business Combination, non-employee directors will receive varying levels of compensation for their services as directors and members of committees of Wheels Up’s board of directors. Wheels Up anticipates determining director compensation in accordance with industry practice and standards.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Compensation Philosophy

Hiring and retaining officers and other key employees has been critically important to ensuring continuity and stability in order to grow the WUP business. In the evolving and competitive business environment, WUP must continually develop and refine its service while identifying and capitalizing on potential business opportunities. WUP recognizes that its success is in large part dependent on its ability to attract and retain talented employees. Therefore, the WUP executive compensation and benefits program has been designed to attract, retain and incentivize a highly talented and committed team of executive officers who share the WUP vision and desire to work toward its goals. The WUP board of directors historically has determined compensation for the executive officers, considering economic and business conditions, experience, internal pay equity and individual negotiations.

Primary Elements of Compensation

Base Salary. Each named executive officer’s base salary is a fixed component of annual compensation for performing specific duties and functions and has been established by the WUP board of directors considering each individual’s role, responsibilities, skills and experience.

Annual Incentive Bonuses. The WUP annual cash bonus program is intended to reward the named executive officers for meeting objective or subjective performance goals for a fiscal year.

Long-Term Equity Incentives. The WUP equity grant program is intended to align the interest of the named executive officers with those of its equity holders to motivate them to make important contributions to the performance of WUP. For more information regarding the existing equity grant plans of WUP, see “— Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan” and “— Wheels Up Option Plan” below. In addition, subject to the

264

TABLE OF CONTENTS

approval of the 2021 Plan pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal included herein entitled “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal,” the named executive officers will be entitled to receive equity incentive awards following the consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plan.

Retirement and Other Benefits. The named executive officers and key employees are eligible to participate in the WUP employee benefit plans provided for other employees, such as a 401(k) plan, life insurance, group health insurance and short- and long-term disability insurance. WUP does not have a defined benefit retirement plan.

CARES Act Compensation Limitation

As discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, WUP applied for government assistance under the Payroll Support Program from the Treasury as directed by the CARES Act. In connection with this Payroll Support Program assistance, WUP agreed to limit the compensation that it pays to certain of its highly compensated employees, including the named executive officers, during any 12-consecutive month period prior to March 24, 2022. The maximum amount that may be paid to each named executive officer during the rolling 12-month period is approximately $9,571,474 for Mr. Dichter, approximately $4,561,229 for Mr. Jacobs and approximately $3,411,977 for Mr. Horowitz; since Mr. Applbaum was hired after the receipt of CARES Act assistance, he is not subject to any such limitation. WUP monitors compliance with this limitation by reference to the amount of compensation WUP pays to the executive each calendar month that WUP would report in the summary compensation table for such month. No named executive officer exceeded his 12 consecutive month compensation limit during the prior fiscal year, or as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Aircraft Use

WUP’s executive officers use its aircraft for flights that are integrally and directly related to their business duties. Given the nature of its business, WUP also expects its executive officers to utilize its aircraft for personal benefit, as a way to help promote, increase and maintain the WUP brand. Accordingly, WUP allocates to its executive officers and members of its board of directors a specified number of hours per calendar year of flight time. Executives and members of the WUP board of directors all are required to pay the WUP initiation fee to join the Wheels Up Core membership and must remain a member in good standing, including payment of annual dues, in order to utilize the aforementioned hours of flight time. Flight time not utilized in the calendar year in which granted may be carried over to subsequent years so long as the executive or director remains a member of Wheels Up in good standing. For the last completed fiscal year, the aggregate incremental cost to the company of WUP’s CEO’s personal use of its aircraft was $717,562. In addition, the aggregate incremental cost for the other named executive officers was $120,547. WUP determines the incremental cost of the personal use of its corporate aircraft based on the variable operating costs to the company, which includes: (i) landing, ramp and parking fees and expenses; (ii) crew travel expenses; (iii) supplies and catering; (iv) aircraft fuel and oil expenses per hour of flight; (v) any customs, foreign permit and similar fees; (vi) crew travel; and (vii) passenger ground transportation. Because the aircraft are used primarily for business purposes, this methodology excludes fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as the salaries of pilots and crew, purchase or lease costs of aircraft, and costs of maintenance and upkeep. On occasion, WUP executive officers may have family members and other guests accompany them on the aircraft when traveling for WUP business; there is no incremental cost to WUP for guests accompanying such executive officers on the aircraft for business travel. The executive officers incur taxable income for usage of their granted flight time, calculated in accordance with the tax Standard Industry Fare Level. WUP does not grant bonuses to cover, reimburse or otherwise “gross-up” any income tax owed for personal travel on its aircraft. The executive officer may also pay for any personal travel in excess of the executive’s allotted hours, based on discounted hourly rates that have been approved by WUP’s board of directors and that cover the incremental costs to WUP.

Employment Agreements

WUP previously entered into employment agreements with each of its named executive officers. All such employment agreements provide for “at will” employment. Certain of the compensation paid to the

265

Kenny Dichter. Pursuant to his employment agreement, dated April 17, 2020, Mr. Dichter is entitled to receive a base salary equal to $950,000, which was increased from the initial rate of $925,000, and which is subject to annual review and further periodic increase by the WUP board of directors.

Upon execution of his employment agreement in April 2020, Mr. Dichter was also entitled to a signing bonus in a lump-sum amount of $175,000 and also received a grant of profits interests. Mr. Dichter voluntarily forfeited 888,475 of such profits interests to WUP on December 30, 2020, so that the number of interests subject to such awards could be granted to other key employees of the company.

Mr. Dichter’s employment agreement provides that, in the event his employment is terminated by WUP without “Cause” or by Mr. Dichter for “Good Reason” (as each such term is defined below), he will be entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits: (i) an amount equal to two times the sum of (A) his then-current base salary (the “Base Salary Severance”) and (B) his target annual bonus (the “Severance Bonus”); and (ii) if Mr. Dichter elects to continue health care continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or elects coverage under a different health plan, reimbursement for the lesser of (A) the cost of continuation coverage under COBRA and (B) the cost of coverage under a different health plan.

In addition, Mr. Dichter will also be allocated 200 flight hours per year during the 24-month period following his termination. All such payments and benefits are conditioned upon Mr. Dichter’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in WUP’s favor within 60 days following his termination of employment.

For purposes of Mr. Dichter’s employment agreement, the term “Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following, which is not cured by Mr. Dichter (if capable of cure) within 30 days after his receipt of written notice from WUP: (i) material dishonesty in the performance of Mr. Dichter’s duties or the failure, whether willful, intentional or grossly negligent, to perform his duties; (ii) willful misconduct in the connection with the performance of his duties; (iii) Mr. Dichter’s conviction of, or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a crime that constitutes a felony or with respect to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (iv) a material breach by Mr. Dichter of any material covenant or provision contained in his employment agreement or the “Employee Confidentiality Agreement and Restrictive Covenants” executed concurrently with the employment agreement; (v) WUP, after reasonable investigation, finds that Mr. Dichter has violated any material policies of WUP; (vi) a willful failure or refusal by Mr. Dichter to comply with a written directive from the WUP board of directors; or (vii) a confirmed positive illegal drug test for Mr. Dichter.

In the event that Mr. Dichter’s employment is terminated by WUP without Cause or by Mr. Dichter for Good Reason, in either case, within the six months preceding or 12 months following a “Change in

266

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Control” of WUP (as defined below), the aggregate Base Salary Severance and the Severance Bonus payments will be increased to three times the sum of his then-current base salary and target annual bonus, and such payments will be made over a period of 36 months instead of 24. All such payments and benefits are likewise conditioned upon Mr. Dichter’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in WUP’s favor. Under Mr. Dichter’s employment agreement, a “Change in Control” has the meaning ascribed to such term under WUP’s current limited liability company agreement. The Business Combination is not expected to constitute a Change in Control.

If Mr. Dichter’s employment with WUP is terminated due to death or “Disability” (as defined below), WUP will pay to him or his legal representative, as applicable, in addition to any other accrued or vested payments or benefits, (i) base salary for three months following termination, (ii) a pro-rated annual bonus based on the number of days Mr. Dichter was employed during the applicable fiscal year and (iii) in the case of termination due to Disability, and to the extent permissible under the terms of WUP’s benefit plans, either (A) the provision of all employee benefits that Mr. Dichter was receiving prior to termination for a period of 12 months after the date of termination or (B) reimbursement for the cost of COBRA health continuation coverage under COBRA. Under Mr. Dichter’s employment agreement, the term “Disability” is defined as any physical or mental disability where Mr. Dichter, in the good faith judgment of the WUP board of directors, is unable substantially and competently to perform his duties for a period of 90 consecutive days or for 90 non-consecutive days during any six-month period.

In addition, Mr. Dichter has entered an Employee Confidentiality Agreement and Restrictive Covenants with WUP that contains, among other things, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that apply during the term of Mr. Dichter’s employment and for 24 months thereafter.

Eric Jacobs. Pursuant to his employment agreement, dated April 5, 2018, Mr. Jacobs is entitled to receive a base salary equal to $475,000, which was increased from the initial rate of $425,000, and which is subject to annual review and further periodic increase by the WUP board of directors.

Such payments and benefits will be payable to Mr. Jacobs as follows: (i) the Base Salary Severance will be payable as salary continuation over the 12-month period following termination; (ii) the Severance Bonus will commence upon the determination of executive bonuses by the WUP board of directors for the year in which Mr. Jacobs is terminated and will be payable in installments for such period that runs concurrently with the remaining period that Mr. Jacobs is receiving the Base Salary Severance; and (iii) the health care reimbursement amount will be payable over the 12-month period following termination. All such payments and benefits are conditioned upon Mr. Jacob’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in WUP’s favor within 60 days following his termination of employment. The terms “Cause” and “Good Reason” each have the same definitions under Mr. Jacobs’ agreement as those described above with respect to Mr. Dichter’s employment agreement.

Executive Loan

In 2016, the WUP board of directors determined to incentivize Mr. Dichter with additional equity in connection with his continued retention as Chief Executive Officer of WUP. Rather than provide newly issued equity interests, which would have been dilutive to WUP’s equityholders, the WUP board of directors approved a loan to fund Mr. Dichter’s purchase of outstanding equity interests from a founding executive who was departing WUP. The unpaid principal amount of the loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal

269

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to 1.81%. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the loan has accrued $466,385 of interest. Prior to the Closing Date of the Business Combination, WUP will forgive the amount of the principal and accrued interest on the loan. WUP anticipates that the amount of forgiveness will result in Mr. Dichter recognizing approximately $5.5 million of compensation, and Mr. Dichter will, at the time of such forgiveness, pay to WUP approximately $2.5 million so that the company may satisfy its tax withholding obligations with respect to such compensation.

Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan

WUP adopted the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan in 2015 (the “Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan”), of which the last amended and restated version thereof (the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan VIII) was adopted in April 2020. The Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan has a term of 10 years from the date of adoption. Effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination, the WUP board of directors has determined not to make any further awards under the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan, but all outstanding awards will continue to be governed by their existing terms, subject to any adjustments required in connection with the Business Combination.

The Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of (i) membership interests in the form of “profits interests” in Wheels Up MIP LLC (“Wheels Up MIP LLC”), a single-purpose entity formed for the purpose of administering and effectuating the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan, (ii) membership interests in the form of restricted interests in Wheels Up MIP RI LLC (“Wheels Up MIP RI LLC”), another single-purpose entity formed for the purpose of administering and effectuating the plan, or (iii) membership interests or other equity or equity-based awards in WUP, including without limitation, profits interests, restricted interests, options or phantom equity.

The Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan is currently administered by the WUP board of directors and its compensation committee, which has the authority to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards may be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan. The board of directors also has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan; provided that no such action affects or materially impairs the rights of a participant under an outstanding equity award without the consent of such participant. Employees, directors and consultants of WUP are eligible to participate in the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan.

With respect to profits interest awards granted to eligible participants under the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan, such equity awards consist of membership interests in Wheels Up MIP LLC, which provide the participant with the right to participate in distributions to the extent such distributions are attributable to income and growth of the value of Wheels Up MIP LLC, and indirectly attributable to income and growth of the value of WUP, after the date of issuance. With respect to such profits interest awards, the threshold value of WUP, above which the participant shall have the right to participate (the “Participation Threshold”), is equal to the equity value of WUP as of the date of issuance of such profits interests, as determined by the WUP board of directors. Concurrently with the issuance of such profits interest award to an eligible participant, WUP issues to Wheels Up MIP LLC common interests in WUP that have been designated as “profits interests” in WUP (and therefore only represent the right to participate in distributions attributable to the income and growth of WUP over the Participation Threshold for such Wheels Up MIP LLC profits interest). Each profits interest award agreement sets forth the vesting schedule of the profits interest award and other applicable terms and conditions. The treatment of outstanding WUP Profits Interest Awards under the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan in the Business Combination is described above in “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Treatment of WUP Options, Profits Interests and Restricted Interests.” For more information regarding profits interest awards held by the named executive officers, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of WUP’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

Similar to the profits interest awards, restricted interest awards granted to participants under the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan are comprised of restricted interests in Wheels Up MIP RI LLC, and concurrently with such issuance, WUP issues to Wheels Up MIP RI LLC common interests in WUP that have been designated as “restricted interests.” Each restricted interest award agreement sets forth the vesting schedule of the restricted interest award (including both service- and performance-based vesting criteria),

270

TABLE OF CONTENTS

as well as other applicable terms and conditions. The treatment of outstanding WUP Restricted Interest Awards under the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan in the Business Combination is described above in “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Treatment of WUP Options, Profits Interests and Restricted Interests.” For more information regarding restricted interest awards held by the named executive officers, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Interests of WUP’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

All awards granted under the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan are subject to the terms and conditions of the WUP limited liability company agreement, as well as the limited liability company agreement of Wheels Up MIP LLC or Wheels Up MIP RI LLC, as applicable, to which each recipient of an award must become a party as a condition of receipt of a profits interest or restricted interest award. Such agreements govern the treatment of awards under events such as a change of control, initial public offering (including the Business Combination), liquidation or dissolution of WUP and contain certain other terms related to distributions and other payment mechanics affecting each such award.

Wheels Up Option Plan

WUP adopted the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Option Plan in 2016 (the “Wheels Up Option Plan”), which was last amended in December 2020. The Wheels Up Option Plan has a term of 10 years from the date of adoption. Effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination, the WUP board of directors has determined not to make any further awards under the Wheels Up Option Plan, but all outstanding awards will continue to be governed by their existing terms, subject to any adjustments required in connection with the Business Combination. Any future awards will be granted under the 2021 Plan.For more information regarding the treatment of outstanding WUP Option awards under the Wheels Up Option Plan in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Treatment of WUP Options, Profits Interests and Restricted Interests” above.

The Wheels Up Option Plan is currently administered by the WUP board of directors and its compensation committee, which has the authority to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards may be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the Wheels Up Option Plan. The board of directors also has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the Wheels Up Option Plan; provided that no such action affects or materially impairs the rights of a participant under an outstanding option award without the consent of such participant. Employees, directors and consultants of WUP are eligible to participate in the Wheels Up Option Plan.

The Wheels Up Option Plan provides for the award of options to purchase common interests in WUP. The exercise price for each option award under the Wheels Up Option Plan is no less than the fair market value of a common interest of WUP as of the date of grant. Each option award agreement sets forth the vesting schedule of the option and other applicable terms and conditions, including the extent to which a vested option may be exercisable following termination of the recipient’s service relationship with WUP. In the event of certain changes in WUP’s corporate structure (such as a stock split, recapitalization, merger or reorganization), the board of directors may also make appropriate adjustments to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits under the Wheels Up Option Plan, including adjusting the aggregate number of common interests reserved for issuance thereunder, common interests subject to outstanding options and exercise prices of outstanding options. In the event of a transaction such as a merger or sale of all or substantially all of WUP’s assets, WUP’s board of directors may take any number of actions, including, (i) the assumption or substitution of outstanding awards by the surviving entity, (ii) immediate exercisability of outstanding options and (iii) settlement of the intrinsic value of outstanding vested options in cash or cash equivalents or equity followed by the cancellation of all such options (whether or not then vested or exercisable).

Retirement Plans

WUP has established the Wheels Up Partners LLC Retirement Savings Plan, a tax-qualified Section 401(k) retirement savings plan for all employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Under this plan, participants may elect to make pre-tax contributions to the plan of up to a certain portion of their current compensation, not to exceed the applicable statutory tax limitation. WUP intends for the plan to

271

qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, such that contributions to the plan, and income earned on those contributions, are not taxable to participants until withdrawn from the plan.

The vesting commencement date for the service-based vesting component of all restricted interest awards granted to Messrs. Dichter and Jacobs, along with 1,500,000 restricted interests granted to Mr. Horowitz, was December 11, 2019, with 25% of restricted interests vesting with respect to the service-based vesting component on December 11, 2020, and the remaining 75% of such interests scheduled to vest with respect to the service-based vesting component in three equal installments on December 11, 2021, 2022 and 2023, subject to continued service through each such vesting date and any additional accelerated vesting granted by the WUP board of directors in connection with the Business Combination.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

The employment agreements with each of the named executive officers provide for certain severance payments and benefits upon a termination by WUP without “Cause,” by the named executive officer for “Good Reason” or due to death or “Disability” (as each such term is defined in the applicable employment agreement). For more information regarding these severance payments and benefits, see “— Employment Agreements” above.

Under the terms of each named executive officer’s option, profits interest and restricted interest awards granted under the Wheels Up Option Plan or the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan, as applicable, the named

273

TABLE OF CONTENTS

executive officer is entitled to accelerated vesting in connection with certain qualifying terminations of employment. Pursuant to the award agreements governing each of the options and the profits interests awards held by the named executive officers, in the event such named executive officer is terminated by WUP without “Cause” (as defined in the applicable option or profits interest award agreement), any options or profits interests that are scheduled to vest within six months following the date of such termination will vest as if no such termination has occurred. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a “Change of Control” of WUP, all options or profits interests that are unvested at such time will become fully vested and exercisable, as applicable, upon such Change of Control if (i) the named executive officer is performing services for WUP at all times from the grant date through the Change of Control or (ii) the named executive officer was terminated by WUP without Cause following the announcement of a Change of Control and such transaction closes within six months following the date of termination.

Pursuant to the terms of the restricted interest award agreements with Messrs. Dichter, Jacobs and Horowitz, upon a “Change of Control” of WUP (as defined in the restricted interest award agreement), any then-unvested restricted interests will accelerate, and the service-based vesting component will be deemed satisfied to the extent the named executive officer has remained employed with WUP at all times from the grant date though such Change of Control. In addition, if a named executive officer’s employment is terminated at any time by WUP without “Cause,” by the named executive for “Good Reason” or due to death or “Disability” (as each such term is defined in the restricted interest award agreement), any restricted interests that would have otherwise become vested with respect to the service-based vesting component within 24 months following the date of termination had the named executive remained employed through such period shall accelerate and become vested upon the date of termination. To the extent that the performance-based vesting component has already been satisfied, then the restricted interests will therefore be deemed fully vested as of such date of termination. To the extent that the performance-based vesting condition has not been satisfied as of the effective date of termination, then the accelerated interests will continue to remain outstanding for a period of seven years following termination, and, upon the satisfaction of the performance-based vesting condition at any time during such seven-year period, will thereafter be deemed fully vested. If the performance-based vesting condition is not satisfied within the seven-year period following termination, however, all restricted interests (including any accelerated portion thereof) will automatically be forfeited for no consideration on the seventh anniversary of the effective date of the named executive officer’s termination of employment.

Director Compensation

The following table provides information concerning the compensation of each director of the WUP board of directors who did not serve as a named executive officer of WUP during fiscal year 2020 (pre-Business Combination). None of the non-employee directors received cash fees for their service on the WUP board of directors. In addition, directors designated by Delta did not receive any compensation for their service as directors.

Each option was awarded to the applicable director on October 13, 2020 and is scheduled to vest in four equal annual installments on October 13, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, subject to continued service through each such vesting date. As of December 31, 2020, the directors held the following equity awards under the Wheels Up Equity Incentive Plan or Wheels Up Option Plan, as applicable: David Adelman, 375,000 profits interests and 150,000 options; Timothy Armstrong, 75,000 profits interests and 100,000 options; Chih Cheung, 250,000 profits interests and 100,000 options; Alan Goldfarb, 250,000 profits interests and 100,000 options; and Brian Radecki, 275,000 profits interests and 175,000 options. Messrs. Phillips and Snell held no equity awards in WUP as of such date. The information presented herein does not give effect to any exchange or conversion of outstanding equity awards that will occur at the Effective Time of the Business Combination, nor any contemplated acceleration of service-based vesting. For more information, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Treatment of WUP Options, Profits Interests and Restricted Interests” above.

Messrs. Adelman and Radecki were awarded 30 hours of flight time on WUP aircraft in calendar year 2020 and Messrs. Armstrong, Cheung and Goldfarb were awarded 25 hours of flight time on WUP aircraft in calendar year 2020. Messrs. Phillips and Snell were not awarded any flight time on WUP aircraft in calendar year 2020. Accordingly, the amounts presented represent the incremental cost to the company with respect to each director’s use of flight time in the applicable calendar year. Any hours not utilized in the year in which granted may be carried over to subsequent years so long as the director remains a paid member in good standing of the WUP membership program. Mr. Adelman also purchased $400,000 worth of discounted flight time during 2020. For more information, see “— Aircraft Use” above.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the beneficial ownership of Aspirational ordinary shares as of February 28, 2021 and (ii) the expected beneficial ownership of shares of Wheels Up common stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination (assuming a “no redemption” scenario and assuming a “redemption” scenario as described below) by:

•

each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Aspirational ordinary shares and/or is expected to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of shares of Wheels Up common stock post-Business Combination;

•

each of Aspirational’s current executive officers and directors;

•

each person who will become a named executive officer or director of Wheels Up post-Business Combination; and

•

all executive officers and directors of Aspirational as a group pre-Business Combination, and all executive officers and directors of Wheels Up as a group post-Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

The beneficial ownership of Aspirational ordinary shares pre-Business Combination is based on 29,968,290 Aspirational ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of February 28, 2021, which includes an aggregate of 5,993,658 Aspirational Class B ordinary shares outstanding as of such date.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of Wheels Up common stock post-Business Combination assumes two scenarios:

(i) a “no redemption” scenario where (i) no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) Wheels Up issues 169,023,943 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement in respect of all of the WUP common interests and WUP preferred interests outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (excluding equity incentive awards); and

(ii) a “maximum redemption” scenario where (i) 11,974,632 of Aspirational’s outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) Wheels Up issues 169,023,943 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement in respect of all of the WUP common interests and WUP preferred interests outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (excluding equity incentive awards).

Based on the foregoing assumptions, and including the 55,000,000 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issued in connection with the PIPE Investment, we estimate that there would be 253,992,233 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “no redemption” scenario, and 242,017,601 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “redemption” scenario. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in the combined company and the columns under Post-Business Combination in the table that follows will be different.

The following table does not reflect record of beneficial ownership of any shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of public warrants or private placement warrants, as such securities are not exercisable or convertible within 60 days of February 28, 2021.

Unless otherwise indicated, Aspirational believes that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the voting securities beneficially owned by them.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp.

Founder Shares

These founder shares are identical to the Aspirational Class A ordinary shares included in the units sold in Aspirational’s initial public offering, except that (i) the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, (ii) the holders of the founder shares have agreed pursuant to a letter agreement to waive (x) their redemption rights with respect to the founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of a business combination, (y) their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 25, 2022 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (z) their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to the founder shares if Aspirational fails to complete a business combination by September 25, 2022, (iii) the founder shares are automatically convertible into Aspirational Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial business combination and (v) the founder shares are entitled to registration rights.

In connection with the Business Combination, upon the Domestication, 5,993,658 founder shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Wheels Up Class A common stock. For additional information, see the section entitled “Domestication Proposal.”

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering of Aspirational, the Sponsor purchased 4,333,333 warrants to purchase one Aspirational Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “private placement warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per warrant, or $6.5 million in the aggregate, in a private placement. On October 2, 2020, as a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option on October 2, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 196,617 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, bringing the aggregate purchase price for the founder private placement warrants to $6.8 million. Each private placement warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Aspirational Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in the trust account of Aspirational. The private placement warrants may not be redeemed by Aspirational so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees other than pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement and only if the Reference Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) is equal to or exceeds $18.00 per share. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units that were sold as part of the initial public offering of Aspirational. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis.

The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the initial public offering of Aspirational except that the private placement warrants: (i) are not redeemable by Aspirational other than pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreement and only if the Reference Value is equal to or exceeds $18.00 per share, (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees and (iii) are entitled to registration rights (including

281

the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants). Additionally, the purchasers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private placement warrants, including the Aspirational Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants (except to certain permitted transferees), until 30 days after the completion of Aspirational’s initial business combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, upon the Domestication, each of the 4,529,950 private placement warrants will convert automatically into a warrant to acquire one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement. For additional information, see the section entitled “Domestication Proposal.”

Registration Rights

The holders of the founder shares, private placement warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any (and any Aspirational Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the working capital loans and upon conversion of the founder shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed September 25, 2020 requiring Aspirational to register such securities for resale (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion to Aspirational Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that Aspirational register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of Aspirational’s initial business combination and rights to require Aspirational to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Aspirational will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

In connection with the Business Combination, the registration rights agreement will be amended and restated. For additional information, see the section entitled “BCA Proposal — Related Agreements — Registration Rights Agreement.”

Related Party Note and Advances

On July 15, 2020, Aspirational issued a promissory note (the “IPO Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which Aspirational could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The IPO Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 and (ii) the completion of the initial public offering. The outstanding balance under the IPO Promissory Note of $100,349 was repaid at the closing of the initial public offering on September 25, 2020.

On March 8, 2021, Aspirational issued the Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which Aspirational borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $100,000. The Promissory Note is unsecured, bears interest at a rate equal to 2.75% per annum and is payable on the earlier of (i) September 25, 2022 and (ii) the completion of the Business Combination.

Prior to Aspirational’s initial business combination, Aspirational’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on Aspirational’s behalf, although no such reimbursements will be made from the proceeds of Aspirational’s initial public offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of Aspirational’s initial business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of Aspirational’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Aspirational additional funds as may be required. If Aspirational completes a business combination, Aspirational may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to Aspirational. In the event that a business combination does not close, Aspirational may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment. Aspirational does not expect to seek loans

282

TABLE OF CONTENTS

from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as Aspirational does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account.

Aspirational is not prohibited from pursuing a business combination with a company that is affiliated with the Sponsor, or Aspirational’s officers or directors or making the acquisition through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with the Sponsor, or Aspirational’s officers or directors. In the event Aspirational seeks to complete a business combination with a target that is affiliated with the Sponsor, or Aspirational’s officers or directors, Aspirational, or a committee of independent and disinterested directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from an independent accounting firm, that such an initial business combination is fair to Aspirational from a financial point of view. Aspirational is not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.

Administrative Services Agreement

Aspirational has agreed, commencing on September 23, 2020, to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Such Administrative Services Agreement was assigned from the Sponsor to Turmeric Capital Singapore Pte Ltd on December 31, 2020. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

Support Services Agreement

Aspirational has agreed, commencing on September 23, 2020, to pay Turmeric Capital Singapore Pte Ltd, an affiliate of Aspirational’s Chief Executive Officer, $10,000 per month for support services, including accounting, book and record keeping and cash management services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Aspirational will cease paying these monthly fees.

Financial Advisor Related to Public Offering and the Business Combination

Related Party Deferred Payments

Upon the successful completion of a Business Combination or Aspirational’s liquidation, Aspirational will also pay each of its independent directors $3,125 per month in the aggregate for his or her service to Aspirational. The fees are deferred and become payable only upon Aspirational’s consummation of a Business Combination or Aspirational’s liquidation. The independent directors have waived their rights against the trust account with respect to such payment.

WUP

Delta Equity Purchase Agreement

On January 17, 2020, WUP acquired DPJ from Delta pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2019 (the “DPJ Purchase Agreement”). WUP acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of DPJ in exchange for the issuance to Delta of Class E Preferred Interests to Delta constituting 26.1% of the fully-diluted equity of WUP as of the time of issuance. The DPJ Purchase Agreement included a customary post-closing working capital and net cash adjustment. It also included customary representations and warranties and provided for indemnification by each party of certain identified fundamental representations and warranties, and Delta agreed to indemnify WUP for losses arising out of certain known incidents and pending litigation matters in existence prior to the acquisition. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of DPJ, WUP amended and restated WUP’s organizational documents to provide Delta with representation on WUP’s board of directors and certain other governance rights.

283

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Commercial Arrangements with Delta

In connection with the closing of the acquisition of DPJ, WUP entered into a series of agreements constituting WUP’s strategic partnership relationship with Delta. See the section entitled “Information About WUP — Our Competitive Strengths — Strategic Relationship with Delta” for a description of the benefits provided to WUP’s customers through such relationship.

WUP’s strategic partnership relationship with Delta is set forth in the following agreements: (i) the CCA, (ii) the Program Participation Agreement (the “PPA”) and (iii) the Corporate Agreement (the “CA”).

The CCA contemplates that WUP will work together with Delta each year to develop an annual joint marketing and communications plan that focuses on mutual revenue and brand goals, influence/ambassador partnerships and co-branded event opportunities, and that Delta and WUP will provide certain benefits to the other’s customers and share certain data.

The CCA also contemplates that WUP will provide certain in-kind benefits to Delta, measured on an annual basis. Examples of such in-kind benefits include WUP members’ purchasing Delta products and services above a certain level and access for certain Delta customers to Wheels Down marketing activities, events and member experiences. WUP is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide an unspecified amount of such benefits during 2021, and Delta is required to cooperate with such efforts. WUP has agreed with Delta that, by December 31, 2021, they will use reasonable best efforts to mutually agree upon minimum amounts of in-kind benefits that WUP is required to provide starting in 2022. Such minimum levels will be established taking into account the impact, if any, of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel demand and in-person gatherings and the pace of industry recovery therefrom, measured against minimum levels to which WUP and Delta agreed to prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Subject to certain termination rights, the initial term of the CCA extends until January 2027 and automatically renews for two successive three-year terms unless either party notifies the other of its intent not to renew at least one year prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

Under the PPA, WUP purchases miles in the SkyMiles Program from Delta to offer to WUP’s customers as incentives, and Delta offers its SkyMiles Program members the opportunity to redeem miles for Wheels Up memberships and other Wheels Up products and services, which are paid for by Delta. Delta also provides complimentary Medallion status in its SkyMiles Program or, in certain cases, points in Delta’s SkyBonus® Program, to WUP’s members that spend a certain minimum amount on WUP’s products and services during a given calendar year. WUP offers Delta SkyMiles 360 and certain other elite status SkyMiles Program members certain free and discounted Wheels Up memberships. During the term of the PPA and in certain cases for six months thereafter, WUP is not permitted to enter into a marketing or enhanced benefits agreement or relationship with certain other commercial air carriers and Delta is not permitted to enter into a marketing or enhanced benefits agreement or relationship with any other U.S. private jet charter provider operating aircraft using 19 or fewer seats. The PPA will terminate upon the termination or expiration of the CCA, and WUP may reduce or eliminate its obligation to provide SkyMiles to WUP’s customers beginning in January 2023.

Pursuant to the CA, Delta provides WUP with a corporate incentive program under which WUP may purchase tickets at a discounted rate for certain flights operated by Delta and its codeshare partners for use by WUP’s pilots and employees who are traveling for Wheels Up business. WUP is required to provide Delta with corporate travel data that Delta may use to determine the terms of the discounts and to perform its obligations under the CA. Delta is permitted to modify the discounted rates on an annual basis by providing WUP with notice. If WUP rejects any such modifications, WUP can terminate the CA. The CA will automatically terminate upon the termination or expiration of the CCA.

In connection with the closing of the DPJ Purchase Agreement, WUP also entered into an Executive Benefits Letter Agreement (the “Benefits Letter”) and a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”).

Under the Benefits Letter, certain persons currently and previously affiliated with Delta may purchase flights from WUP at the incremental cost of the flights. In addition, Delta provides certain WUP executives and employees with Delta 360 and SkyMiles Medallion benefits.

284

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under the TSA, Delta provides WUPJ with certain services that were previously provided by Delta when it owned WUPJ on a transitional basis for a limited period following the acquisition of DPJ by WUP. These services include information technology transition, human resources, payroll, sales and marketing and operational support services, the provision of certain no cost business travel to WUPJ leadership and pilots based on the number of segments flown for such purposes during 2019, and continuation of leisure travel flight privileges to legacy DPJ employees. All services provided pursuant to the TSA are or were to be provided for a period up to six, 12 or 24 months following the closing of the DPJ acquisition. Other than the following services, all services that were provided pursuant to the TSA have expired: (i) access to the system utilized for scheduling travel for WUPJ pilots, (ii) certain human resources and payroll services and (iii) the provision of certain business travel for WUPJ pilots. All services provided pursuant to the TSA are provided by Delta free of charge, except that WUPJ is responsible for certain third-party costs that it has historically paid.

Delta Subleases

WUPJ is party to two sublease agreements with Delta relating to the properties at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Under the subleases, WUPJ pays Delta monthly rental fees, monthly utilities fees and certain other fees. The term of the sublease at 82 Comair Boulevard continues until December 31, 2021, and the term of the sublease at 87 Comair Boulevard continues until September 29, 2030.

Delta Investor Rights Letter

Reimbursement of Blocker-Related Expenses

In connection with the issuance of its Class B preferred interests, WUP entered into expense reimbursement letters with each of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe”) and certain investment funds managed Fidelity (collectively, “Fidelity”) pursuant to which it agreed to reimburse each of T. Rowe and Fidelity for reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including legal fees, incurred by them in connection with the administration, compliance and maintenance of their respective Blockers, on an annual basis. The Blockers maintained by T. Rowe and Fidelity will cease to exist following the Business Combination as a result of the Blocker Mergers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Kenny Dichter Loan

In 2016, the WUP board of directors determined to incentivize Mr. Dichter, WUP’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, with additional equity in connection with his continued retention as Chief Executive Officer of WUP. Rather than provide newly issued equity interests which would have been dilutive to WUP’s equityholders, the WUP board of directors approved a loan to Mr. Dichter to fund Mr. Dichter’s purchase of outstanding equity interests from a founding executive who was departing WUP. Pursuant to a Secured Promissory Note, dated January 20, 2016, WUP loaned Mr. Dichter the principal sum of $5,000,000. Prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, WUP will forgive the amount of the principal and accrued interest on the loan. For additional information, see the section entitled “WUP Executive and Director Compensation — Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table — Executive Loan.”

WUP allocates to its executive officers and members of its board of directors a specified number of hours per calendar year of flight time.

Director and Officer Indemnification

WUP’s existing LLC Agreement provides for indemnification and advancement of expenses for its directors and officers, subject to certain limited exceptions. Following the Business Combination, WUP intends to enter into customary indemnification agreements with each of WUP’s executive officers and directors that provide them, in general, with customary indemnification in connection with their service to WUP or on WUP’s behalf. For additional information, see the section entitled “Description of Wheels Up’s Securities — Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors.”

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the board of directors of Wheels Up will adopt a written related person transaction policy that will set forth the following policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. A “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the post-combination company or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “related person” means:

•

any person who is known by the post-combination company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Wheels Up voting stock;

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS

Aspirational is an exempted company incorporated under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Cayman Islands Companies Act and the Cayman Constitutional Documents govern the rights of its shareholders. The Cayman Islands Companies Act differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the Cayman Constitutional Documents will differ in certain material respects from the Proposed Organizational Documents. As a result, when you become a stockholder of Wheels Up, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of Aspirational.

Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of Aspirational and Wheels Up according to applicable law or the organizational documents of Aspirational and Wheels Up.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Cayman Constitutional Documents of Aspirational, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex K, the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and the complete text of the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. You should review each of the Proposed Organizational Documents, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Islands Companies Act, to understand how these laws apply to Wheels Up and Aspirational, respectively.

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Stockholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations	Mergers generally require approval of a majority of all outstanding shares. Mergers in which less than 20% of the acquirer’s stock is issued generally do not require acquirer stockholder approval. Mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders.	Mergers require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent. All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval — there is no exception for smaller mergers. Where a bidder has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder. A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by a Cayman Islands court and approved by 50%+1 in number and 75% in value of shareholders in attendance and voting at a shareholders’ meeting.
Stockholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters	Generally, approval of routine corporate matters that are put to a stockholder vote require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or	Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act and Aspirational’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, routine

Appraisal Rights	Generally, a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger.	Minority shareholders that dissent from a merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.
Inspection of Books and Records	Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.	Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits	A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements (including adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum as per Organizational Documents Proposal D).	In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances.
Fiduciary Duties of Directors	Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders.	A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole. In addition to fiduciary duties, directors of Aspirational owe a duty of care, diligence and skill. Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed direct to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers	A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers acting in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.	A Cayman Islands company generally may indemnify its directors or officers except with regard to fraud or willful default.
Limited Liability of Directors	Permits limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit.	Liability of directors may be unlimited, except with regard to their own fraud or willful default.

			Delaware			Cayman Islands
Business Combination or Antitakeover Statutes			Section 203 is a default provision of the DGCL that prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with “interested stockholders” (a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock) for three years following the date that person becomes an interested stockholder, unless: (i) before such stockholder becomes an “interested stockholder,” the board of directors approves the Business Combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time of the transaction (excluding stock owned by certain persons); or (iii) at the time or after the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the board of directors and at least two-thirds of the disinterested outstanding voting stock of the corporation approves the transaction. Wheels Up has not opted out of the protections of Section 203 of the DGCL. As a result, the statute applies to Wheels Up.			There are none.

In addition to the differences outlined in the summary chart above, the Proposed Organizational Documents restrict the voting of shares of Wheels Up capital stock by non-U.S. Citizens. The restrictions imposed by federal law currently require that no more than 25% of Wheels Up stock be voted, directly or indirectly, by persons who are not U.S. Citizens and that the chief executive officer, president, at least two-thirds of the officers of Wheels Up and at least two-thirds of the members of the board of directors of Wheels Up be U.S. Citizens. The Proposed Bylaws provide that if the number of shares of capital stock owned or controlled by non-U.S. Citizens exceed 25% of the voting power of Wheels Up capital stock (the “Ownership Threshold”), the voting rights of the capital stock owned or controlled by non-U.S. Citizens and not registered on the Foreign Stock Record at the time of any vote or action will be suspended. The suspension of voting power will be terminated upon the earlier of (a) the shares are transferred to a U.S. Citizen and (b) the registration of the shares on the Foreign Stock Record. It will be the duty of each Wheels Up stockholder that is not a U.S. Citizen to register his, her or its shares of capital stock as a non-U.S. Citizen. If the number of shares on the Foreign Stock Record exceeds the Ownership Threshold, each stockholder with capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record will have their voting rights suspended

on a pro rata basis such that the voting rights afforded to the stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record is equal to the Ownership Threshold. The voting rights will be reinstated once the voting rights of the capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record does not exceed the Ownership Threshold, not taking into consideration the pro rata reduction. Our board of directors has determined that including such restrictions in the Proposed Organizational Documents is necessary to comply with U.S. federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF WHEELS UP SECURITIES

The following summary of the material terms of Wheels Up’s securities following the Closing is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. The full text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws are attached as Annex C and Annex D hereto, respectively. Shareholders are urged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of Wheels Up securities following the Closing.

Capital Stock

General

The total amount of Wheels Up’s authorized capital stock will consist of 2,500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Wheels Up will have approximately 253,992,233 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issued and outstanding after the Closing. These numbers do not include shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of Wheels Up Options, upon the exchange of the Wheels Up PI Units, the Wheels Up RI Units or the Wheels Up EO Units or upon exercise of any warrants or shares that may become issuable if the earnout is achieved.

The following summary describes the material provisions of Wheels Up’s capital stock. Wheels Up urges you to read the Proposed Organizational Documents.

Preferred Stock

Wheels Up’s board of directors will have authority to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to fix for each such series such voting rights, designations, powers, preferences and relative participating, optional, special and other rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences for the issue of such series all to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Wheels Up’s board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Class A common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Wheels Up and may adversely affect the market price of Wheels Up Class A common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders thereof. There are no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Class A Common Stock

Holders of Wheels Up Class A common stock are not entitled to preemptive or other similar subscription rights to purchase any of Wheels Up’s securities. Wheels Up Class A common stock is neither convertible nor redeemable. Unless the Wheels Up board of directors determines otherwise, Wheels Up will issue all of our capital stock in uncertificated form.

Voting Rights

Each holder of Wheels Up Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, as provided in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation. The Proposed Bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of the capital issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business. However, when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast will be required to take action, unless otherwise specified by law the Proposed Bylaws or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, and except for the election of directors, which is determined by a plurality vote.

292

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dividend Rights

Each holder of Wheels Up capital stock will be entitled to the payment of dividends and other distributions as may be declared by the Wheels Up board of directors from time to time out of Wheels Up’s assets or funds legally available for dividends or other distributions. These rights will be subject to the preferential rights of the holders of Wheels Up preferred stock, if any, and any contractual limitations on Wheels Up’s ability to declare and pay dividends.

Liquidation Rights

If Wheels Up is involved in voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Wheels Up’s affairs, or a similar event, each holder of Wheels Up Class A common stock will participate pro rata in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of Wheels Up preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.

Redeemable Warrants

Public Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the Closing, except as described below. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. The warrants will expire five years after the Closing, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Wheels Up will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Wheels Up Class A common stock shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is available, subject to Wheels Up satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available, including in connection with a cashless exercise permitted as a result of a notice of redemption described below under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00”. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and Wheels Up will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Wheels Up Class A common stock underlying such unit.

Wheels Up is not registering the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, Wheels Up has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the Closing, Wheels Up will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and Wheels Up will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the Closing and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, Wheels Up may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event Wheels Up so elects, Wheels Up will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the

293

TABLE OF CONTENTS

exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock equal to the lesser of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (ii) 0.361 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock per warrant. The “fair market value” as used in the preceding sentence shall mean the volume weighted average price of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent. The date the warrant agent receives notice of a “cashless exercise” will be determined by the warrant agent.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, Wheels Up may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock for any twenty trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (which is referred to as the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant described under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments”).

Wheels Up will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of the Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by Wheels Up, Wheels Up may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Wheels Up has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and Wheels Up issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments”) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock (as defined below) except as otherwise described below;

•

if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments”); and

•

if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments”), the private placement warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.

294

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During the period beginning on the date the notice of redemption is given, holders may elect to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The numbers in the table below represent the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock that a warrant holder will receive upon such cashless exercise in connection with a redemption by Wheels Up pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined for these purposes based on volume weighted average price of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below. Wheels Up will provide warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the 10-trading day period described above ends.

The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant or the exercise of a warrant or the exercise price of a warrant is adjusted as set forth under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments” below. If the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant. If the exercise price of a warrant is adjusted, (i) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the fifth paragraph under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price as set forth under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments” and the denominator of which is $10.00 and (ii) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price less the decrease in the exercise price of a warrant pursuant to such exercise price adjustment.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to be issued for each warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume weighted average price of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.277 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.298 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock for each whole warrant. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment). Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by Wheels Up pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock.

This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in many other blank check offerings, which typically only provide for a redemption of warrants for cash (other than the private placement warrants) when the trading price for the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock exceeds $18.00 per share for a specified period of time. This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of

296

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the outstanding warrants to be redeemed when the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock are trading at or above $10.00 per share, which may be at a time when the trading price of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock is below the exercise price of the warrants. Wheels Up has established this redemption feature to provide it with the flexibility to redeem the warrants without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00.” Holders choosing to exercise their warrants in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their warrants based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input as of the date of this prospectus. This redemption right provides us with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, and therefore have certainty as to our capital structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed. Wheels Up will be required to pay the applicable redemption price to warrant holders if it chooses to exercise this redemption right and it will allow Wheels Up to quickly proceed with a redemption of the warrants if it determines it is in Wheels Up’s and its other stockholders’ best interest to do so. As such, Wheels Up would redeem the warrants in this manner when it believes it is in Wheels Up’s and its other stockholders’ best interest to update its capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption price to the warrant holders.

As stated above, Wheels Up can redeem the warrants when the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to Wheels Up’s capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If Wheels Up chooses to redeem the warrants when the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock are trading at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock if and when such shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50.

No fractional shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, Wheels Up will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the warrants may be exercised for such security. At such time as the warrants become exercisable for a security other than the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, Wheels Up will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

Redemption procedures. A holder of a warrant may notify Wheels Up in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Anti-dilution Adjustments. If the number of issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock is increased by a capitalization or share dividend payable in shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, or by a split-up of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock. A rights offering made to all or substantially all of the holders of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at a price less than the “historical fair market value” (as defined below) will be deemed a share dividend of a number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities

convertible into or exercisable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, in determining the price payable for shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “historical fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if Wheels Up, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays to all or substantially all of the holders of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock on account of such shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (i) as described above or (ii) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.50 (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50 per share, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Wheels Up Class A common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division or reclassification of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of Wheels Up with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which Wheels Up is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of Wheels Up as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which Wheels Up is dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares, stock or other equity securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such merger or consolidation, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such merger or consolidation that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such

298

TABLE OF CONTENTS

maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock, the holder of a warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such warrant holder had exercised the warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustment (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in the Warrant Agreement. Additionally, if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of ordinary shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the per share consideration minus Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the warrant.

The warrants have been issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Aspirational. You should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The Warrant Agreement provides that (i) the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (A) curing any ambiguity or correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the Warrant Agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the Warrant Agreement set forth in this prospectus, or defective provision or (B) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Warrant Agreement as the parties to the Warrant Agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the warrants and (ii) all other modifications or amendments require the vote or written consent of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants; provided, that any amendment that solely affects the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the Warrant Agreement solely with respect to the private placement warrants will also require at least 65% of the then outstanding private placement warrants.

The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

Subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against Wheels Up arising out of or relating in any way to the Warrant Agreement will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and Wheels Up has irrevocably submitted to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. This provision applies to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States are the sole and exclusive forum.

Private Placement Warrants

The private placement warrants (including the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will generally not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the Closing and they will not be redeemable by Wheels Up (except as described above under “— Public Warrants — Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00”) so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis and have certain registration rights described herein. Otherwise, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. If the private placement warrants are

299

TABLE OF CONTENTS

held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by Wheels Up in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants.

Except as described above under “— Public Warrants — Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Wheels Up Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00,” if holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of the number of shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “sponsor fair market value” (as defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (ii) the sponsor fair market value. For these purposes, the “sponsor fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that Wheels Up has agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor and its permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with Wheels Up following the Closing. If they remain affiliated with Wheels Up, their ability to sell Wheels Up’s securities in the open market will be significantly limited. Wheels Up expects to have policies in place that restrict insiders from selling its securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell Wheels Up securities, an insider cannot trade in Wheels Up’s securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public shareholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, Wheels Up believes that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws contain and the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, which are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of Wheels Up’s board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of Wheels Up. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce Wheels Up’s vulnerability to a hostile change of control or other unsolicited acquisition proposal, and enhance the ability of Wheels Up’s board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire Wheels Up. However, these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a merger or acquisition of Wheels Up by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock.

Special Meetings of Stockholders

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the (i) Chairperson of the Wheels Up board of directors, (ii) Wheels Up’s Chief Executive Officer or (iii) the Wheels Up board of directors, provided that such special meeting may be postponed or cancelled by the Wheels Up board of directors.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Meetings, Nominations and Proposals

The Proposed Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Wheels Up board of directors or a committee of the Wheels Up board of directors. For any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder has to comply with advance notice requirements and provide Wheels Up with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (for the purposes of the first

300

TABLE OF CONTENTS

annual meeting of Wheels Up stockholders following the adoption of the Proposed Bylaws, the date of the preceding annual meeting will be deemed to be ). The Proposed Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. The Proposed Bylaws allow the presiding officer at a meeting of the stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of Wheels Up.

Action by Written Consent

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and may not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting, except that holders of one or more series of preferred stock, if such series are expressly permitted to do so by the certificate of designation relating to such series, may take any action by written consent if such action permitted to be taken by such holders and the written consent is signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant class or series having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of the NYSE, which would apply if and so long as the Class A common stock remains listed on the NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of Class A common stock. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may be to enable the Wheels Up board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Wheels Up by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Wheels Up Class A common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes cumulative voting. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting.

Limited Voting by Foreign Owners

To comply with restrictions imposed by federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws restrict voting of shares of our capital stock by non-U.S. Citizens. The restrictions imposed by federal law currently require that no more than 25% or our voting stock be voted, directly or indirectly, by persons who are not U.S. Citizens, and that our chief executive officer, president, at least two-thirds of our officers and at least two-thirds of our board of directors be U.S. Citizens. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that no shares of our capital stock may be voted by or at the direction of non-U.S. Citizens unless such shares are registered on the Foreign Stock Record. If the number of shares on the Foreign Stock Record exceeds 25%, each stockholder with capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record will have their voting rights suspended on a pro rata basis such that the voting rights afforded to the capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record is equal to 25% of the total voting power of our capital stock. The voting rights will be reinstated once the voting rights of the capital stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record does not exceed 25% of the total voting power of our capital stock, not taking into consideration the pro rata reduction.

301

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Election of Directors and Vacancies

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Wheels Up board of directors will determine the number of directors who will serve on the Wheels Up board of directors. Under the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Wheels Up board of directors will be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing. Class II and Class III directors initially serve for a term expiring at the second and third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing, respectively. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting of the stockholders. There is no limit on the number of terms a director may serve on the Wheels Up board of directors.

In addition, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that any vacancy on the Wheels Up board of directors, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy that results from the removal of a director with cause, may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director will serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Wheels Up board of directors will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Removal of Directors

Subject to the issuance of any of Wheels Up preferred stock, the Wheels Up board of directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of Wheels Up’s voting stock entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with such corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of such corporation’s voting stock, unless: (i) the board of directors of such corporation approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder, (ii) the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans), or (iii) the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and at a meeting of stockholders, not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

While Section 203 is the default provision under the DGCL, the DGCL allows companies to opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL by including a provision in their certificate of incorporation expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. Wheels Up will not have opted out of Section 203. Under certain circumstances, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with us for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring Wheels Up to negotiate in advance with Wheels Up’s board of directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if Wheels Up’s board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in Wheels Up’s board of directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Quorum

The Proposed Bylaws provide that at any meeting of Wheels Up’s board of directors, a majority of the total number of directors then in office constitutes a quorum for all purposes.

302

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of Wheels Up and its stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including (under current law) breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. Under current law, exculpation would not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.

The Proposed Bylaws provide that Wheels Up must indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. Wheels Up is also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for its directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. Wheels Up believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the Organizational Documents Proposals may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.

These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit Wheels Up and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent Wheels Up pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving Wheels Up’s directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in Wheels Up’s name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty, any provision of the DGCL, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed Bylaws and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of the State of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the exclusive jurisdiction provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and (ii) service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Similarly, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Although Wheels Up believes this provision benefits Wheels Up by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against Wheels Up’s directors and officers.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent and warrant agent for Wheels Up Class A common stock and Wheels Up warrants, respectively, will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The transfer agent’s and warrant agent’s address is One State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF WHEELS UP SECURITIES

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted Wheels Up Class A common stock or Wheels Up warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of Wheels Up at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) Wheels Up is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as Wheels Up was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted Wheels Up Class A common stock shares or Wheels Up warrants for at least six months but who are affiliates of Wheels Up at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

•

1% of the total number of Wheels Up Class A common stock then outstanding; or

•

the average weekly reported trading volume of Wheels Up common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by affiliates of Wheels Up under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about Wheels Up.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

•

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

•

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, the Sponsor will be able to sell their founder shares and private placement warrants, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after Aspirational has completed Aspirational’s initial business combination.

Aspirational anticipates that following the consummation of the Business Combination, Wheels Up will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Aspirational and services that it employs to deliver communications to its shareholders are permitted to deliver to two or more shareholders sharing the same address a single copy of each of Aspirational’s annual report to shareholders and Aspirational’s proxy statement. Upon written or oral request, Aspirational will deliver a separate copy of the annual report to shareholders or proxy statement to any shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of each document was delivered and who wishes to receive separate copies of such documents.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

Aspirational is a Cayman Islands exempted company. If Aspirational does not change its jurisdiction from the Cayman Islands to Delaware by effecting the Domestication, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon Aspirational. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against Aspirational in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws. However, Aspirational may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against Aspirational arising out of or in connection with violation of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of Aspirational’s securities by serving Aspirational’s U.S. agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2020 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our 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 audit 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 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 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 7, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of completing a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on businesses with premium brands that offer an aspirational lifestyle experience to consumers. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combination, and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Wheels Up”) (see Note 9).

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 22, 2020. On September 25, 2020 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 22,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $225,000,000 which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,333,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,500,000, which is described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 25, 2020, an amount of $225,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.

On September 29, 2020, the underwriters notified the Company of their intent to partially exercise their over-allotment option for settlement on October 2, 2020. As such, on October 2, 2020, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,474,632 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, and the sale of an additional 196,617 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $15,041,246. A total of $14,746,320 of the net proceeds was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account on October 2, 2020 to $239,746,320.

Transaction costs amounted to $13,763,667, consisting of $4,794,926 of underwriting fees, $8,391,121 of deferred underwriting fees and $577,620 of other offering costs.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete its initial Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets

with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 following any related share redemptions and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Share.

ASPIRATIONAL CONSUMER LIFESTYLE CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

The Company will have until September 25, 2022 (as such period may be extended pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the “Combination Period”) to complete a Business Combination. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $719,926 in its operating bank accounts, $239,795,125 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $155,767. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $50,000 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ASPIRATIONAL CONSUMER LIFESTYLE CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risk and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2020, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury securities.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $13,763,667 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States.

Net Loss per Ordinary Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 12,521,494 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for Redeemable Class A Common Stock in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for Redeemable Class A Common Stock is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.

Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for Non-Redeemable Class A and Class B Common Stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to Redeemable Class A Common Stock, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period.

Non-Redeemable Class A and Class B Common Stock includes Founder Shares and non-redeemable shares of common stock as these shares do not have any redemption features. Non-Redeemable Class A

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 23,974,632 Units, inclusive of 1,474,632 Units sold to the underwriters on October 2, 2020 upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share

and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,333,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,500,000. On October 2, 2020, in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 196,617 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $294,926. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On July 15, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering and formation costs of the Company in consideration for 6,468,750 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 843,750 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option on October 2, 2020, 475,092 Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 5,993,658 Founder Shares issued and outstanding as of October 2, 2020, none of which are currently subject to forfeiture.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company has agreed, commencing on September 23, 2020 to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $30,000, in fees for these services, of which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.

Support Services Agreement

The Company has agreed, commencing on September 23, 2020, to pay Turmeric Capital Singapore Pte Ltd, an affiliate of its Chief Executive Officer, $10,000 per month for support services, including accounting,

book and record keeping and cash management services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, the Company incurred and paid $30,000, in fees for these services.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On July 15, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 and (ii) the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of $100,349 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 25, 2020.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on September 25, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,391,121, upon the partial exercise of the over-allotment on October 2, 2020, in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Advisory Fee

Connaught (UK) Limited (“Connaught”), acted as the Company’s independent financial advisor in connection with the Initial Public Offering, for which it will receive customary fees. The Company has

F-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ASPIRATIONAL CONSUMER LIFESTYLE CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

agreed to pay Connaught a fee in an amount equal to 10% of the underwriting commission payable to the underwriters. The fee to Connaught was paid in part at the closing of Initial Public Offering and will be paid in part at the closing of a Business Combination, in the same proportion as the non-deferred and deferred underwriting commission payable to the underwriters. The underwriters have agreed to reimburse the Company for the fee to Connaught as it becomes payable out of the underwriting commission.

Upon the successful completion of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will also pay each of its independent directors $3,125 per month in the aggregate for his or her service to the Company. The fees will be deferred and become payable only upon the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. The independent directors have waived their rights against the Trust Account with respect to such payment.

NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001. The Company’s Board of Directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The Board of Directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preferred shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the ordinary shares and could have anti-takeover effects. At December 31, 2020, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2020, there were 1,354,414 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 22,620,218 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2020, there were 5,993,658 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders except as otherwise required by law.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination.

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder and

•

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares; and

•

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company send the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of its Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset

F-18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ASPIRATIONAL CONSUMER LIFESTYLE CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2020

or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Upon Closing, (i) each option to purchase Wheels Up common interest shall be converted into an option of the Company, (ii) each award of profit interests of Wheels Up shall be converted into an award of profits interests of the Company which, upon vesting and, for members of senior management, subject to the expiration of a lock-up period, such interests will be exchangeable for shares of Company Class A common stock, and (iii) each award of Wheels Up restricted interests shall be converted into an award of restricted

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Committee
Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “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, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. 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 U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the 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.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Wheels Up”, “our”, “we”, and “us”) is a limited liability company (“LLC”) organized under the laws of the state of Delaware and was formed on July 1, 2013. Wheels Up is a leading brand in private aviation that strives to deliver a total private aviation solution.

Wheels Up provides private aviation services through membership subscriptions in the Wheels Up program, which requires members to generally pay an up-front initiation fee and recurring annual dues. We offer three tiers of membership — Connect, Core, and Business — that allow members to fly principally throughout, as well as to and from, the United States. Many of these options can be booked instantly through our innovative Wheels Up app, which was opened up to non-members to book, as well. Members can request flights directly through the member website or by contacting our Member Services team. In addition, members have the ability to explore popular features such as a variety of Shared Flights, empty-leg Hot Flights, Shuttles, and The Community, an online platform of members-only forums to facilitate flight sharing, enabling members to reduce their cost of flying private.

Wheels Up gives members access to one of the largest owned and leased fleet of aircraft. We also have a managed fleet of diverse aircraft, and a program fleet, which includes a network of safety-vetted and verified third-party aircraft, across the Turboprop, Light jet, Midsize jet, Super-Midsize jet, and Large-Cabin jet categories. Under the terms of our management agreements, managed fleet aircraft may be used to meet member and customer flights in addition to use by the aircraft owners. Furthermore, we provide wholesale charter services, through certain of our subsidiaries, to customers such as charter flight brokers and third-party operators.

During 2020, as a result of the acquisition of Delta Private Jets, LLC now known as Wheels Up Private Jets LLC (“WUPJ”), Wheels Up became a fixed-base operator (“FBO”) at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (“CVG”). We also operate tech service centers located at CVG and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (“FLL”), which provide comprehensive maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) facilities and services for aircraft operated by Wheels Up and third-parties (see Note 5). We have also developed into an industry leading provider of flight management software to third-party operators and recently launched a whole aircraft acquisitions and sales service.

In addition to private aviation, as part of the Wheels Down Lifestyle Program, members receive access to world-class lifestyle and event experiences that include exclusive offerings around major sporting events, intimate concerts, the arts, and business. Members also have access to commercial aviation benefits through a partnership with Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”).

Wheels Up leases certain of our owned and leased aircraft to Gama Aviation LLC (“Gama”), a Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) licensed and Department of Transportation (“DOT”) registered air carrier to operate our aircraft. FAA licensed and DOT registered air carriers participate in the program and exercise full operational control of program aircraft. As of March 2, 2020, Gama was no longer a third-party independent operator as the business was acquired by Wheels Up (see Note 5).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of

F-27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”). The most significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the useful lives and residual values of purchased aircraft, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, acquired intangible assets, goodwill, contingent consideration, and other assets and liabilities, sales and use tax, the estimated life of member relationships, the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the use of the effective interest method to amortize debt discounts and deferred financing costs, impairment assessments, and the incremental borrowing rate for leases.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, deferred revenue, accounts payable and long-term debt approximate fair value due to either the short-term nature of such instruments or the fact that the interest rate of the long-term debt is based upon current market rates.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated willing market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available and activity in the markets used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Level 1 —

Quoted prices, unadjusted, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date.

Level 2 —

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 —

Unobservable inputs developed using our own estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. When developing fair value estimates, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When available, the estimated fair value of financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets that are available on the measurement date. If quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination of estimated fair value is based on standard market valuation methodologies, giving priority to observable inputs.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:

•

Cash equivalents and investments — The carrying amount of money market funds approximates fair value and is classified within Level 1 because we determined the fair value through quoted market prices. The carrying amount of commercial paper approximates fair value and is classified within Level 2 because we utilized observable inputs in non-active markets to determine the fair value.

•

Long-term debt — The carrying amount approximates fair value based on the interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. We utilized Level 2 inputs to determine the fair value.

Certain non-financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of an impairment.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash. We consider securities with initial maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

F-28

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Investments

Investments consist of highly liquid investment grade commercial paper issued by major corporations and financial institutions with initial maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year from the date of purchase. All investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and realized gains or losses are recorded using the specific identification method. We classify investments as available-for-sale securities as they represent investments available to support current operations and may be sold prior to their stated maturities for strategic or operational reasons. There were no unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Changes in market value, excluding other-than-temporary impairments, are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until realized. In determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists, we consider: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer of the securities; and (iii) the intent and ability to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. There were no other-than-temporary impairment losses identified for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Accounts and Other Receivables

Accounts receivable, net, primarily consists of contractual amounts we expect to collect from members and customers related to membership subscriptions and flights, including amounts currently due from credit card companies. We record accounts receivable at the original invoiced amount. There is approximately $1.4 million and $0.2 million of membership fees and prepaid flight time included in both accounts receivable and deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

We monitor exposure for losses and maintain an allowance for credit losses for any receivables that may be uncollectible. Historically, we used an incurred loss model to calculate the allowance for credit losses. Upon the adoption of the new credit loss standard on January 1, 2020, we shifted to a current expected credit loss model. We estimate uncollectible receivables based on the receivable’s age, customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, changes in payment terms, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. When it is determined that the amounts are not recoverable, the receivable is written off against the allowance. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the allowance for credit losses was $2.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Other receivables primarily consist of tax credits for Federal Excise Tax paid on aircraft fuel and, earned, but unbilled revenue.

Parts and Supplies Inventories

Inventories are used in operations and are generally not for sale. Inventories are comprised of spare aircraft parts, materials, and supplies, which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories are determined using the specific identification method. We determine, based on the evidence that exists, whether or not it is appropriate to maintain a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. The reserve is based on historical experience related to the disposal of inventory due to damage, physical deterioration, obsolescence, or other causes. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the reserve was $29 thousand and $21 thousand, respectively. Storage costs and indirect administrative overhead costs related to inventories are expensed as incurred.

Segment Reporting

We identify operating segments as components of Wheels Up for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. We determined that Wheels Up operates in a single operating and reportable segment, private aviation services, as the chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue, for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. Substantially all of the long-lived assets are located in the United States and revenue from private aviation services is substantially earned from flights throughout the United States.

F-29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Acquisitions

For acquisitions meeting the definition of an asset acquisition, the fair value of the consideration transferred, including transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. No goodwill is recognized in an asset acquisition (see Note 5).

Goodwill

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets other than goodwill primarily consists of acquired finite-lived trade names, customer relationships and developed technology. At initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which was determined based on management’s estimate of the period over which the asset will contribute to our future cash flows (see Note 6).

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for all property and equipment are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Residual values estimated for aircraft are approximately 50% of the original purchase price. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are principally as follows: aircraft — seven years, furniture and fixtures — three years, vehicles — five years, building and improvements — 27 years, computer equipment — three years, and

F-30

TABLE OF CONTENTS

tooling — ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease (see Note 3).

Software Development Costs

We incur costs related to developing the Wheels Up website, mobile application, and other internal use software. In addition, we incur costs related to the development of our flight management software. The amounts capitalized include materials, employees’ payroll and payroll-related costs including equity-based compensation directly associated with the development activities, as well as external direct costs of services used in developing the software. We amortize capitalized costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, which is currently three years, beginning when the software is ready for its intended use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. We perform periodic reviews to ensure that unamortized software development costs remain recoverable from future revenue (see Note 3).

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception on an individual contract basis. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current, and operating lease liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in our leases is not readily determinable to discount lease payments. As a result, for all leases we use an incremental borrowing rate that is based on the estimated rate of interest for a collateralized borrowing of a similar asset, using a similar term as the lease payments at the commencement date.

The operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities include any lease payments made, including any variable amounts that are based on an index or rate, and exclude lease incentives. Variability that is not due to an index or rate, such as payments made based on hourly rates, are excluded from the lease liability. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal option periods are included within the lease term and the associated payments are recognized in the measurement of the operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability when they are at our discretion and considered reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on our consolidated balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease. For real estate leases, we have elected the practical expedient to account for both the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component and not allocate the consideration in the contract. Certain real estate leases contain fixed lease payments that include real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and are included in the operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. For non-real estate leases, including aircraft, we have separated the lease and non-lease components. The non-lease components of aircraft leases are typically for maintenance services and insurance that are expensed as incurred (see Note 12).

During a portion of 2020 and all of 2019 and 2018, we were the sublessor of certain aircraft leases to Gama, due to government regulations. The underlying aircraft assets from these subleases are presented on the consolidated balance sheets. Sublease income is presented in cost of revenue net of the lease cost in the consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets consist of aircraft, property and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets. We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where

F-31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. We determined the initial negative effect and uncertainty related to COVID-19 was a potential indicator that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. As a result, we performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis of our long-lived assets for potential impairment as of April 30, 2020, and based on the analysis, it was determined that there was no impairment to our long-lived assets. In addition, there were no other indicators of impairment of long-lived assets identified after April 30, 2020 through December 31, 2020, and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Restricted Cash

We have restricted cash of $12.1 million and $12.4 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of which $10.0 million relates to amounts held by third-party lenders to collateralize the Amended 1st Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9). The remaining balance relates to amounts held by financial institutions to establish a standby letter of credit required by the lessor of certain corporate office space. We classify restricted cash as current or non-current based on the remaining term of the restriction.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets includes security deposits, which relate primarily to contractual prepayments to third-parties for future services, the current portion of capitalized costs related to sales commissions and referral fees, and insurance claims receivable.

Other Current Liabilities

Other current liabilities consist of deposits from owners for managed aircraft. Deposits are collected at the inception of the contract with each owner and returned on the contract termination date, to the extent there are no outstanding payments due at such time.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs include various incremental fees and commissions paid to third-parties in connection with the issuance of debt. Deferred financing costs are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt and subsequently amortized to interest expense over the related period of the obligation using the effective interest method (see Note 9).

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that may potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and receivables. We place cash and cash equivalents with multiple high credit quality financial institutions. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain limits and although deposits are held with multiple financial institutions, deposits at times may exceed the federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Accounts receivable are spread over many members and customers. We monitor credit quality on an ongoing basis and maintain reserves for estimated credit losses.

There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018. There was one customer that accounted for 16.2% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019, and none over 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020.

Equity-Based Compensation

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in control or an initial public offering. For performance-based awards, the grant date fair value of the award is expensed over the vesting period when the performance condition is considered probable of being achieved. We account for forfeitures of awards as they occur (see Note 14).

Aircraft Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance for owned and leased aircraft are expensed as incurred unless covered by a third-party, long-term flight hour service agreement. We have separate service agreements in place covering scheduled and unscheduled repairs of certain aircraft components, as well as the engines for certain owned and leased aircraft in our fleet. Certain of these agreements, whose original terms generally range from 10 to 15 years, require monthly payments at rates based either on the number of cycles each aircraft was operated during each month or the number of flight hours each engine was operated during each month, subject to annual escalations. These power-by-the-hour agreements transfer certain risks, including cost risks, to the third-party service providers. They generally fix the amount we pay per flight hour or number of cycles in exchange for maintenance and repairs under a predefined maintenance program, which are representative of the time and materials that would be consumed. These costs are expensed as the related flight hours or cycles are incurred.

Revenue

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

•

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.

•

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.

•

Determination of the transaction price.

•

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and,

•

Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) memberships, (ii) flights, (iii) aircraft management, and (iv) other.

Wheels Up membership agreements are signed by each member. Wheels Up membership agreements together with the terms and conditions in the flight services agreement govern the use of the Wheels Up membership. We account for a contract when both parties have approved and are committed to perform their obligations, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. In addition to retail flights, we also have flight service agreements to sell wholesale flights to customers that are non-members and do not pay annual dues or initiation fees.

Revenue is recorded net of discounts on standard pricing and incentive offerings including special pricing agreements and certain promotions.

Deferred revenue is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which we have already received consideration. Upon receipt of a prepayment from a customer for all or a portion of the transaction price, we initially recognize a contract liability. The contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized, when we satisfy our performance obligation to the customer at a future date.

We utilize registered independent third-party air carriers in the performance of a portion of our flights. We evaluate whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another party, as the agent, using a control model. The nature of the flight services we provide to members is similar regardless of which third-party air carrier is involved. Wheels Up directs third-party air carriers to provide an aircraft to a member or customer. Based on evaluation of the control model, it was determined that Wheels Up acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue arrangements, other than when acting as an intermediary ticketing agent for travel on Delta and when managed aircraft owners charter their own aircraft, as we have the authority to direct the key components of the service on behalf of the member or customer regardless of which third-party is used. If Wheels Up has

F-33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation, then the revenue and the associated costs are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations.

(i) Memberships

New members are typically charged a one-time initiation fee at the commencement of their membership, which is generally non-refundable. In the first year of membership, a portion of the initiation fee is applied to their annual dues. The remainder of the initiation fee, less any flight credits, is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated duration of the customer relationship period, which is estimated to be approximately three years. Members are charged recurring annual dues to maintain their membership. Revenue related to the annual dues are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the related contractual period, which is generally but not always 12 months. If a customer qualifies to earn SkyMiles (as defined below) as part of their membership, then a portion of the transaction price is allocated to this performance obligation at contract inception. The amount of the allocation is determined based on our contractual cost for SkyMiles purchases with Delta. If at any time the membership is terminated, any previously unrecognized amounts are recognized in the period of termination.

(ii) Flights

Flights and flight-related services, along with the related costs of the flights, are earned and recognized as revenue at the point in time in which the service is provided. For round trip flights, revenue is recognized upon arrival at the destination for each flight segment.

Members pay a fixed quoted amount for flights. The amount can be based on a contractual capped hourly rate or dynamically priced based on market demand at time of booking. Wholesale customers primarily pay a fixed rate for flights. In addition, flight costs can be paid by members through the purchase of Fund Programs (“Blocks”), which are generally dollar-denominated credits for future spend with Wheels Up. Blocks are deferred and recognized as revenue when the member completes a flight segment. Blocks also can generally be used to purchase commercial flights on Delta. Wheels Up, acting in the capacity of an agent, charges the member a ticketing fee to use their commingled funds on a flight provided by Delta, which is recorded on a net basis at the time of booking.

Through our acquisition of WUPJ, we inherited the legacy WUPJ jet cards. WUPJ jet cards allow a customer to pre-purchase dollar-denominated credits at agreement inception that are redeemed for future flights on WUPJ, are refundable for a termination fee, and are generally effective for a term of 24 months. Customers are also able to reload funds on their jet card periodically throughout the term. The jet card values are purchased at tiered dollar amounts and entitle customers to fixed rate all-inclusive hourly pricing and guaranteed availability. During 2020, we began the process of converting WUPJ jet card holders to Wheels Up memberships and as of December 31, 2020, we generally do not offer new jet cards.

In addition, Wheels Up continued and expanded a customary WUPJ business practice of providing Medallion Status (“Status”) in Delta’s SkyMiles Program (“SkyMiles”) for purchases of Blocks and jet cards. A member is granted Status free of charge for use during the term of the contract and may assign the Status to any designated individual. A member can use their SkyMiles for purchases of Blocks but they do not earn SkyMiles on Wheels Up flights. Any members that meet the designated spend thresholds for Blocks and jet cards or the designated dollar-denominated flight spend thresholds during the year receive the same Status. Additionally, we do not owe Delta any consideration for the grant of each Status provided. Status is not a material right at contract inception and does not give rise to a separate performance obligation. The provided Status is not recognized as revenue but instead is considered a marketing incentive related to future purchases on Delta.

The amount of flight breakage was not material for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

(iii) Aircraft Management

We manage aircraft for owners in exchange for a contractual fee. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes the recovery of owner incurred expenses including maintenance

F-34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

coordination, cabin crew, and pilots, as well as recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs and expenses such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees, parking, and other related operating costs. We pass the recovery and recharge costs back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin.

Aircraft management related revenue contains two performance obligations. One performance obligation is to provide management services over the contract period. Revenue earned from management services is recognized over the contractual term, on a monthly basis. The second performance obligation is the cost to operate and maintain the aircraft, which is recognized as revenue at the point in time such services are completed.

(iv) Other

Ground Services (FBO and MRO)

FBO ground services are provided for aircraft customers that use our facility at CVG. FBO ground services are comprised of a single performance obligation for aircraft facility services such as fueling, parking, ground power, and cleaning. FBO related revenue is recognized at the point in time each service is provided.

We also separately provide MRO ground services for aircraft owners and operators at certain of our facilities. MRO ground services are comprised of a single performance obligation for aircraft maintenance services such as modifications, repairs, and inspections. MRO related revenue is recognized over time based on the cost of inventory consumed and labor hours worked for each service provided.

Flight-Related Services

As part of each flight, there is the option to request flight-related services such as catering or ground transportation for an additional charge. Flight-related services, which are passed through at either cost or a predetermined margin, were $1.4 million, $1.5 million, and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Software Subscriptions

Subscription revenue consists of fees earned, typically monthly, from third-party operators and other businesses in the private aviation industry for web-based access to a collaborative suite of flight software tools that we offer through our acquisition of Avianis (see Note 5). Our subscription services provide users software licenses and related support and updates during the term of the arrangement to enable management of flight operations. Revenue is generally recognized from such subscription contracts on a straight-line basis over the contract period. Contracts for related professional services, such as customized training or implementation programs, are either on a time and materials or fixed fee basis. Professional services revenue is generally recognized at the point in time the services are performed.

Other revenue also consists of fees we may receive from third-party sponsorships and partnerships as part of lifestyle and event experience programs for members and whole aircraft acquisition and sales fees, which are each recognized at the point in time the service is provided.

Income Taxes

Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC files as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. As such, each member is responsible for reporting income or loss to the extent required by federal and state income tax regulations, based upon their respective share of our income and expenses. Wheels Up is subject to the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax and the California, Tennessee, and Texas Franchise Tax which are entity level taxes. Since we incurred a loss in each year presented, the entity level state taxes consist of minimum taxes, fees, and capital taxes, which are included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include a provision for federal and state income taxes.

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement

F-35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by current enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. We have a temporary difference related to the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax resulting in a cumulative deferred tax asset of approximately $0.8 million and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Based on the available objective evidence, including our history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, we provided for a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset and no benefit for income taxes has been recorded as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions relating to deductions, transactions and other matters involving uncertainty as to the proper tax treatment based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained following an audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Once it is determined that the position meets the recognition threshold, the second step requires us to estimate and measure the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The difference between the amount of recognizable tax benefit and the total amount of tax benefit from positions filed or to be filed with the tax authorities is recorded as a liability for uncertain tax benefits. Uncertain tax positions are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets in accrued expenses. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there are no material uncertain tax positions.

We recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. There are no interest and penalties recognized for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. We are subject to taxation by authorities in the United States and various states. As of December 31, 2020, Wheels Up is no longer subject to federal examination for years prior to 2017 and state examinations for years prior to 2016.

Advertising Costs

We expense the cost of advertising and promoting our services as incurred. Such amounts are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $7.2 million, $5.0 million, and $5.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820). This standard adds, removes, and modifies certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. We adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment is now the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. We adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

F-36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This standard requires a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivable, and other financial instruments. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and no cumulative-effect adjustment to members’ equity (deficit) was recorded.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASC 740). This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by (i) eliminating certain exceptions within ASC 740 and (ii) clarifying and amending the existing guidance to enable consistent application of ASC 740. This new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASC 848). The FASB issued a subsequent amendment to the initial guidance in January 2021 with ASU 2021-01. This standard provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to accounting guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer and is the basis of revenue recognition. We have elected to apply the portfolio approach to contracts with similar performance obligations. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts, we used judgment to evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a portfolio and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. There are some contracts which have additional performance obligations that require allocation of the transaction price, such as allowing upgrades to a different aircraft or providing discounts on prepaid flights. The amount of reallocations was not material for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. During 2019, we started to sell flights to wholesale customers that are not members as a result of our acquisition of Travel Management Company (see Note 5).

Transaction Price

The transaction prices for each of our primary revenue streams are as follows:

•

Flights — The fixed quoted amount including any flight credits.

•

Memberships — The initiation fee, less any flight credits, when signing up and annual dues for all years thereafter.

•

Ground services (FBO and MRO) — Time and materials incurred for the work performed or services rendered; and,

•

Aircraft management — The fixed monthly fee to manage the aircraft over the contractual term plus the recovery of owner-incurred expenses and recharge costs that are based on the expenses we incur to operate and maintain the aircraft.

If there is a group of performance obligations bundled in a contract, the transaction price is allocated based upon the relative standalone selling prices of the promised services underlying each performance obligation. If there are services included in the transaction price for which the standalone selling price is not directly observable, then we would first apply the standalone selling price for those services that are known, such as the flight hourly rate, and then allocate the total consideration proportionately to the other performance obligations in the contract.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Payment Terms

Under standard payment terms, the member or customer agrees to pay the full stated price in the contract and financing of the transaction is not provided. Revenue in the consolidated statements of operations is presented net of discounts and incentives of $9.5 million, $11.3 million, and $13.8 million, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We generally do not issue refunds for flights unless there is a failure to meet a service obligation with respect to such flight. Refunded amounts for initiation fees and annual dues are granted to some customers that no longer wish to remain members following their first flight and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Contract Balances

Receivables from member and customer contracts are included within accounts receivable, net. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, receivables from members and customers were $36.3 million and $13.5 million, respectively.

Contract liabilities represent obligations to transfer services to a member or customer for which we have already received consideration. Purchases of flights, Blocks, jet card deposits, initiation fees including flight credits, and annual dues payments are received up front in advance of performance under the contract and initially deferred as a liability. Prepaid flights, Blocks and flight credits are recognized as revenue and the deferred revenue liability is reduced at the point in time a flight segment is taken. The initiation fee is recognized upon acquisition of the contract on a straight-line basis over the estimated customer relationship period, which approximates three years. The initial annual dues are recognized upon acquisition of the contract on a straight-line basis for a specified length of time, usually 12 months. Any subsequent recurring contract renewals are recognized on a straight-line basis over an estimated period of 12 months from the date the contract is renewed.

The balance classified as non-current deferred revenue includes the portion of initiation fees that were estimated to be satisfied in service periods beyond 12 months following the balance sheet date. Classification of prepaid flights and flight credits between current and non-current deferred revenue can be difficult to determine, as members or customers could choose to fly any time at a future date. The deferred revenue recorded as a current liability relates to prepaid flights and flight credits estimated based on historical utilization patterns.

Deferred revenue consists of the following (in thousands):

	December 31,
	2020			2019
Flights – Blocks and jet cards		$	609,490		$	219,839

Costs to Obtain a Contract

Commissions are granted to certain employees and consultants separately for the initial sales of memberships, additional subsequent contract renewals, flights, or when a member purchases Blocks on their account. Commissions are also granted for the execution of aircraft management agreements, additional subsequent contract renewals, and performance over the contractual term. In addition, members are eligible to receive a credit if they refer a new customer who signs up for membership in the Wheels Up program. The cost of commissions and referral fees are capitalized as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets as these are incremental amounts directly related to attaining a contract with a member. Capitalized costs related to sales commissions and referral fees was $6.3 million, $9.4 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, capitalized sales commissions and referral fees of $5.0 million and $6.6 million are in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.8 million and $1.1 million are in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Amounts capitalized for certain costs incurred to obtain a contract are periodically reviewed for impairment and amortized on a straight-line basis concurrently over the same period of benefit in which the associated contract revenue is recognized. Amortization expense related to capitalized sales commissions and referral fees included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations was $7.4 million, $7.0 million, and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. No impairments of these capitalized contract costs were identified for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Any costs that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are expensed as incurred.

ACQUISITIONS

Delta Private Jets, LLC Acquisition

On January 17, 2020, we acquired all the outstanding equity of Delta Private Jets, LLC now known as Wheels Up Private Jets LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, of Delta for a total purchase price of $427.0 million, which was paid in Wheels Up Class E preferred interests. We acquired WUPJ because it provides management of aircraft on behalf of third-party owners and provides full service and in-house maintenance capabilities. As part of the acquisition, we also executed an exclusive long-term commercial cooperation agreement with Delta. The commercial cooperation agreement has an initial seven year term and two subsequent renewal periods of three years. The Delta strategic relationship provides high value co-marketing products, features, and benefits to Wheels Up members and Delta customers. Acquisition-related costs for WUPJ of $2.8 million and $1.4 million were included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The acquisition of WUPJ was determined to be a business combination.

F-40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of the date of acquisition, the total purchase price allocated to the WUPJ assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to their estimated fair values were as follows (in thousands):

Current assets	$	147,440

Net assets acquired	$	427,007

Current assets of WUPJ included $136.0 million of cash and $3.3 million of accounts receivable.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets. The allocated value of goodwill primarily relates to anticipated benefits from the Delta partnership. The acquired goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The amounts allocated to acquired WUPJ intangible assets and liabilities, and their associated weighted-average amortization periods, were determined based on the period the assets and liabilities are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our cash flows, consists of the following:

	Amount (In thousands)			Weighted- Average Amortization Period (Years)
Status		$	80,000		10.0
Customer relationships			60,000		10.0
Trade name			10,000		10.0
Total acquired intangible assets		$	150,000		10.0
Total acquired intangible liabilities		$	20,000		10.0

The results of WUPJ were included in the consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition. Revenue for WUPJ was $136.4 million and loss from operations was $16.6 million from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2020. Included in loss from operations was income of $13.3 million related to the CARES Act grant.

Gama Aviation LLC

On March 2, 2020, we acquired all the outstanding equity of Gama Aviation LLC for a total purchase price of $73.9 million consisting of $5.1 million in Wheels Up common interests, $41.3 million in cash and the issuance of promissory notes with an aggregate initial principal amount of $27.5 million payable to certain affiliated parties of Gama. Prior to the date of acquisition, Gama exclusively operated our Wheels Up branded aircraft as an independent third-party operator. We acquired Gama because it provides flight operations and aircraft management services, which includes the management of aircraft on behalf of third-party owners. In connection with the closing of the Gama acquisition, we also issued a promissory note to an affiliate of Signature Aviation in the initial principal amount of $0.8 million in satisfaction of certain pre-existing obligations owed by Wheels Up to such entity. Acquisition-related costs for Gama of $2.4 million and $0.4 million were included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The acquisition of Gama was determined to be a business combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of the date of acquisition, the total purchase price allocated to the Gama assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to their estimated fair values were as follows (in thousands):

Current assets	$	50,316
Property and equipment		696
Intangible assets		13,000
Goodwill		54,757
Other assets		5,866

Net assets acquired	$	73,930

Current assets of Gama included $4.7 million of cash and $43.3 million of accounts receivable including $18.2 million owed from Wheels Up that was eliminated in consolidation upon acquisition.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets. The allocated value of goodwill primarily relates to anticipated synergies from future growth using Gama’s aircraft under management and Gama’s existing business processes. The acquired goodwill is predominately deductible for tax purposes.

The amounts allocated to acquired intangible assets, and their associated weighted-average amortization periods, were determined based on the period the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our cash flows, consists of the following:

	Amount (In thousands)			Weighted- Average Amortization Period (Years)
Customer relationships		$	10,000		10.0
Trade name			3,000		2.0
Total acquired intangible assets		$	13,000		8.2

The results of Gama were included in the consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition. Revenue for Gama was $122.1 million, net of intercompany eliminations, and income from operations was $39.8 million from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2020. Included in income from operations was $36.1 million related to the CARES Act grant.

Travel Management Company, LLC Acquisition

On May 31, 2019, we acquired all the outstanding equity of Travel Management Company, LLC (“TMC”) for a total purchase price of $29.8 million, which was paid in cash. We acquired TMC because it is the largest wholesale floating fleet operator of Light jets in North America. The Light jet is an aircraft that our customers demand and adds to our overall product offering. Acquisition-related costs for TMC of $3.1 million were included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. The acquisition of TMC was determined to be a business combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of the date of acquisition, the total purchase price allocated to the TMC assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to their estimated fair values were as follows (in thousands):

Current assets	$	3,468
Property and equipment		27,198

Goodwill		3,732
Other assets		3,774
Total assets acquired		40,272
Total liabilities assumed		(10,492)
Net assets acquired	$	29,780

Current assets of TMC included $1.5 million of cash and $0.8 million of accounts receivable.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets. The allocated value of goodwill primarily relates to anticipated synergies from future growth using TMC’s aircraft, technology, and existing processes. The acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The amounts allocated to acquired TMC intangible assets, and their associated weighted-average amortization periods, were determined based on the period the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our cash flows, consists of the following:

	Amount (In thousands)			Weighted- Average Amortization Period (Years)
Non-competition agreement		$	100		1.0
Trade name			900		5.0

Total acquired intangible assets		$	2,100		11.1

The results of TMC were included in the consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition. Revenue for TMC was $30.4 million and loss from operations was $4.9 million from the date of acquisition through the year ended December 31, 2019.

Avianis Systems LLC Acquisition

On September 27, 2019, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of Avianis Systems LLC (“Avianis”) for a total purchase price of $18.2 million, consisting of $3.8 million in Wheels Up common interests and $14.4 million in cash. We acquired Avianis because it is a comprehensive cloud-based technology platform that allows for the management of aircraft operations and its software can also be used as a back-end flight aggregation tool for our WUP App as well as power third-party operators. The acquisition of Avianis did not meet the definition of a business combination and was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Acquisition-related costs for Avianis of $0.7 million were capitalized and included in the allocated purchase consideration.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During 2020, due to the initial negative effect of COVID-19 on overall travel demand and our business, as well as the uncertainty in anticipated versus actual rates of recovery, in addition to our annual goodwill impairment assessment on October 1st, we deemed it necessary to perform an interim quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill on April 30, 2020, using the estimated future discounted cash flows of our reporting unit, which did not result in impairment to goodwill.

We performed a qualitative annual assessment on October 1, 2020, as the estimated fair value of our reporting unit significantly exceeded the carrying value on April 30, 2020. Our qualitative assessment did not result in an indication that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than the carrying value.

Air Carrier Payroll Support Program

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides aid in the form of loans, grants, tax credits, and other forms of government assistance. Specifically, the CARES Act provided the airline industry with up to $25.0 billion in grants with assurances the support was to be used exclusively for employee salaries, wages, and benefits.

Wheels Up applied for government assistance under the Payroll Support Program from the U.S. Department of the Treasury as directed by the CARES Act. We were awarded a total grant of $76.4 million

F-46

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to support ongoing operations through payroll funding, which was all received by October 2020. We utilized all of the proceeds to offset payroll expenses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The support payments were conditioned on our agreement to refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through September 30, 2020. Other conditions include continuing essential air service as directed by DOT and certain limitations on executive compensation. Based on the amount received, we were not required to provide financial protection to the U.S. Department of the Treasury in conjunction with the payroll support obtained.

The CARES Act also provides for deferred payment of the employer portion of social security taxes through the end of 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2020, the total amount of deferred payments outstanding was $6.8 million. The amount due December 31, 2021 of $3.4 million was recorded in other current liabilities and the amount due December 31, 2022 of $3.4 million was recorded in other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

LONG-TERM DEBT

1st Credit Facility

The 1st Facility initially had an A-1 class (the “A-1”) consisting of $60.0 million of borrowing capacity and an A-2 class (the “A-2”) consisting of $40.0 million of borrowing capacity, which were borrowed ratably as aircraft were purchased. As of December 31, 2020, there were no amounts available for future borrowings under the 1st Facility.

Amended 1st Credit Facility

In August 2014, we increased the available capacity under the 1st Facility to a total of $175.4 million by entering into an amended and restated secured credit agreement (the “Amended 1st Facility”). The Amended 1st Facility (i) afforded the ability to finance the acquisition of an additional 13 aircraft under the First Firm Order (as defined in Note 11), and (ii) increased the amount available to be borrowed against each aircraft through a second lien applied on a retroactive basis against already purchased aircraft and on a prospective basis as each additional aircraft is purchased.

In addition to the A-1 and the A-2, the Amended 1st Facility added an A-3 class (the “A-3”) in an amount up to $57.9 million. The second lien referenced above, the B class (the “B”), was also added to allow us to borrow an additional $0.5 million per aircraft for a total of $17.5 million against the 35 total

TABLE OF CONTENTS

aircraft in the Amended 1st Facility. As of December 31, 2020, there were no amounts available for future borrowings under the Amended 1st Facility.

The Amended 1st Facility contains customary restrictive covenants for facilities and transactions of this type, including, among others, certain limitations on: incurrence of additional debt and guarantees of indebtedness; creation of liens; mergers, consolidations or sales of substantially all of our assets; sales or other dispositions of assets other than in the normal course of business; distributions or dividends and repurchases of common stock; restricted payments, including without limitation, certain restricted investments; engaging in transactions with affiliates; and, sale and leaseback transactions. The credit facilities also contain certain financial covenants that if not met would be considered an event of default that could result in acceleration of the obligations under the agreement. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants.

In April 2016, we obtained a waiver of the debt incurrence test under the Amended 1st Facility to incur additional indebtedness to finance additional King Air 350i aircraft under a 2nd Facility (as defined below). As part of obtaining this waiver, (i) we paid a fee to the consenting lenders of $0.4 million representing 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the consenting lenders’ loans as of April 1, 2016; and (ii) were required to deposit $10.0 million in cash in a restricted pledged securities collateral account. This account will become unrestricted upon us satisfying certain debt coverage ratios as set forth in the Amended 1st Facility.

In June 2017, we obtained another waiver of the debt incurrence test under the Amended 1st Facility to (a) incur additional indebtedness to finance additional King Air 350i aircraft under a 3rd Facility (as defined below); and (b) refinance or prepay the B in the future, which was refinanced in December 2017, as described below. As part of obtaining this particular waiver, (i) we paid a fee to the consenting lenders of $0.3 million representing 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of such lenders’ loans as of June 29, 2017; and (ii) Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC was required to contribute $70.0 million in cash to Wheels Up Partners LLC to incur the new indebtedness.

In December 2017, we amended the Amended 1st Facility to refinance the B and borrow an additional $6.4 million in B loans for a total of $20.0 million in B loans against the 35 aircraft financed by the Amended 1st Facility. The rationale was to move from a variable interest rate, which started at 12.75% plus LIBOR in 2014 stepping up by 1% per annum to a maximum of 18.00%, to a 12.00% fixed rate and upsize the debt to $20.0 million for additional liquidity of $6.4 million. As a result of a change in lenders, the refinancing was considered a debt extinguishment. There were no unamortized fees associated with the B and $0.5 million of fees related to the refinancing have been capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the loan, which ends in July 2022.

In September 2020, we made a $20.5 million prepayment of the principal outstanding on the Amended 1st Facility, which released 11 purchased aircraft from the Amended 1st Facility.

As of December 31, 2020, there are 24 aircraft purchased with financing from the Amended 1st Facility that serve as collateral for the Amended 1st Facility.

2nd Credit Facility

In May 2016, we formed WU Leasing I LLC (“WUL I”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to enter into a second secured credit facility (the “2nd Facility”) with various lenders, which provided up to $120.8 million to finance up to 23 King Air 350i aircraft (consisting of up to 18 aircraft delivered under the Second Firm Order and five aircraft delivered under the Additional Firm Order).

The 2nd Facility has an A class (the “2nd Facility A”) of lenders, which committed to lend $86.3 million, and a B class (the “2nd Facility B”) of lenders, which committed to lend $34.5 million. As of December 31, 2020, there were no amounts available for future borrowings under the 2nd Facility.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the bankruptcy-remote financing structure, the aircraft assets are required to be held in an owner trust. In our structure, WUL I is the special purpose entity, and it holds the aircraft assets through an owner trust (the “WUL I Trust”), which was established by WUL I pursuant to a trust agreement (the “2nd Facility Trust Agreement”) dated May 27, 2016, between WUL I, as trustor, and Bank of Utah, as owner trustee. The WUL I Trust is the owner of the aircraft financed by the 2nd Facility and WUL I is the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the WUL I Trust. So long as no event of default has occurred, WUL I has access to the 2nd Facility aircraft through the 2nd Facility Trust Agreement. Once all payments are made under the 2nd Facility, WUL I may direct the owner trustee to distribute the aircraft assets to another entity.

In June 2017, we obtained a waiver of the debt incurrence test under the 2nd Facility in order to (a) incur an additional indebtedness to finance additional King Air 350i aircraft under a 3rd Facility; and (b) refinance or prepay the B in the future. As part of obtaining this waiver, (i) we paid a fee to the certain consenting lenders of $0.2 million representing 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of such lenders’ loans as of June 29, 2017; and certain other consenting lenders of $0.3 million representing 0.75% of the outstanding principal amount of such lenders’ loans as of June 29, 2017; and (ii) Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC was required to contribute $70.0 million in cash to Wheels Up Partners LLC in order to incur the new indebtedness.

All 23 aircraft purchased with financing from the 2nd Facility serve as collateral for the 2nd Facility.

3rd Credit Facility

The 3rd Facility only has a Class A (the “3rd Facility A”) of lenders, which committed to lend up to $89.3 million. As of December 31, 2020, there were no amounts available for future borrowings under the 3rd Facility.

All 14 aircraft purchased with financing from the 3rd Facility serve as collateral for the 3rd Facility.

Principal and Interest Obligations

Interest payments for all classes of the Amended 1st Facility (A-1, A-2, A-3, B) are due on the fifteenth day of each calendar quarter, based on a stated rate (the “Spread”) in excess of LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, except in the case of the B, which following the December 2017 refinancing, has a fixed rate of 12.00%. The Spreads on the A-1, the A-2, and the A-3 are 8.55%.

Interest payments for all classes of the 2nd Facility (2nd Facility A, 2nd Facility B) are due on the first day of each of the months of March, June, September, and December, based on the Spread plus LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The Spreads for the 2nd Facility A and 2nd Facility B are 6.50% and 8.50%, respectively.

F-49

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest payments for all classes of the 3rd Facility (3rd Facility A) are due on the first day of each of the months of March, June, September, and December and based on LIBOR plus 7.10%.

Debt Discounts

On the date each additional aircraft is purchased, we are required to pay as a discount (i) 1.00% of the A-2, the A-3, and the B loans outstanding to the respective lenders for the Amended 1st Facility, (ii) pay 1.00% of the A loans to the respective lenders for the 2nd Facility and (iii) pay 1.00% of the A loans to the respective lenders for the 3rd Facility.

Promissory Notes

In March 2020, as part of the acquisition of Gama (see Note 5), we executed a promissory note to Gama Group Inc. and two promissory notes to Signature Flight Support, LLC (the “Notes”). The maturity dates of the Notes are March 2, 2024. The interest rates on the Notes are 4.26% per annum through March 2, 2022, 7.50% per annum through March 2, 2023 and 8.50% per annum through March 2, 2024, which is payable quarterly. In addition, we are required to make a mandatory prepayment on the Notes following the consummation of a capital raise. The prepayment amount is equal to the outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest. As of December 31, 2020, the total amount outstanding on the Notes were $24.6 million, of which $7.3 million and $17.3 million were recorded in current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. Interest accrued and paid on the Notes of $0.6 million were recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

NONMONETARY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, we enter into various barter arrangements with third-parties in which there is an agreement to provide a specified amount of flight time, valued in either hours or dollars, in exchange for media advertising, marketing credits or other activities that promote brand awareness. We record these nonmonetary transactions at the estimated fair value of the flights provided using the stand-alone selling price.

As third-parties utilize flight time that we provide in barter arrangements, we recognize revenue in the period in which the flight services are provided. As we use the advertising or marketing credits in the arrangements, an expense is recognized in the period in which the credits are consumed. The difference between flight services to be provided and advertising or marketing credits to be consumed is recognized, on an agreement-by-agreement basis, as an asset or liability, as appropriate. If we consume the credits, prior to delivering the flight services to the member, a liability and an expense is recorded; and if we deliver the flight services to the member prior to receiving the credits, an asset and revenue is recorded. We assess the recoverability of barter credits periodically. Factors considered in evaluating the recoverability include management’s plans with respect to how the advertising or other marketing credits can be used. Any impairment losses are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations during the period in which it is determined. There were no impairments of barter credits identified for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Revenue recognized as a result of nonmonetary transactions was $2.9 million, $3.1 million, and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, while expenses included in sales and marketing in the consolidated statements of operations as a result of the same barter arrangements were $2.8 million, $2.9 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. The balances for flight revenue and advertising or other marketing credits that have yet to be consumed are included in accrued expenses and prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the accrued expenses associated with these barter transactions was $3.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and the prepaid expenses and other current assets were $0 and $0, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of any of these pending actions will have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. As such, there can be no assurance that any pending legal action, which we currently believe to be immaterial, does not become material in the future.

Purchase Commitments

In July 2013, we entered into an aircraft purchase agreement (the “Aircraft Purchase Agreement”) with Textron Aviation Inc. (“Textron”), formerly known as Beechcraft Corporation, for a firm order of 35 King

F-52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Air 350i aircraft (the “First Firm Order”). As of December 31, 2019, we had purchased all 35 King Air 350i aircraft under the First Firm Order.

In May 2015, we exercised the first option under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement for an order of 35 additional King Air 350i aircraft (the “Second Firm Order”). As of December 31, 2018, we had purchased 32 of the 35 King Air 350i aircraft under the Second Firm Order. In December 2018, Textron and Wheels Up agreed to cancel the order for the remaining three King Air 350i aircraft under the Second Firm Order.

In September 2015, we entered into an amendment to the Aircraft Purchase Agreement for an additional firm order of five King Air 350i aircraft (the “Additional Firm Order”). As of December 31, 2019, we had purchased all five King Air 350i aircraft under the Additional Firm Order.

The Aircraft Purchase Agreement contains certain exclusivity provisions in our favor that restrict and/or limit Textron’s ability to sell, lease, dispose or otherwise transfer a fleet of three or more King Air aircraft to any competing person or company. The exclusivity provisions expire in May 2021.

Agreements with Third-Party Operators

To ensure compliance with FAA and DOT regulations, we arranged to lease Gama certain of our owned and leased aircraft. Gama was a third-party independent operator through March 2, 2020, which is the date we executed a purchase agreement to acquire their business (see Note 5). The aircraft leased to Gama are operating leases. The leases are arranged on a per aircraft basis and have a term of three to five years. Gama makes fixed monthly payments of $45 thousand per leased King Air 350i aircraft, $30 thousand per leased Citation Excel/XLS aircraft and $28 thousand per leased Citation X aircraft, as well as additional rent payments on a per hour basis on all aircraft covered under the arrangement. Prior to the acquisition of Gama, we recognized the lease payments from Gama as a reduction of cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to the acquisition, the lease payments from Gama are eliminated in consolidation.

In September 2013, we entered into a charter aircraft services agreement with Gama, specific to the operation of our owned King Air 350i aircraft purchased under the 1st Facility and the Amended 1st Facility. Each charter aircraft services agreement is hereinafter referred to as an operator agreement. In June 2014, we entered into a second operator agreement with Gama specific to the operation of our leased Citation Excel/XLS aircraft (as described below). In December 2015, we entered into a third operator agreement with Gama specific to the operation of five aircraft leased by Gama from a related party. The aircraft leased by Gama were purchased by us, using proceeds available under the 2nd Facility, thereby terminating the leases between Gama and the third-party and the related operator agreement. In April 2016, we entered into a fourth operator agreement with Gama specific to the operation of four of our owned King Air 350i aircraft financed under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement. These four aircraft were subsequently refinanced using proceeds available under the 2nd Facility and the related operator agreement was terminated. In May 2016, we entered into a fifth operator agreement with Gama, specific to the operation of our owned King Air 350i aircraft purchased under the 2nd Facility. In June 2017, we entered into a sixth operator agreement with Gama specific to the operation of our owned King Air 350i aircraft purchased under the 3rd Facility. In June 2018, we entered into a seventh operator agreement with Gama specific to the operation of our leased Citation X aircraft.

Pursuant to each operator agreement, Gama provides flight services and operates the aircraft leased to Gama by us for the exclusive benefit of Wheels Up members. We are obligated to utilize Gama for all flight operations on the aircraft covered by the operator agreements. The operator agreements have terms of no less than five years with options to extend the terms for mutually agreed upon time periods. Pursuant to the terms of each operator agreement, we are obligated to provide Gama with minimum guaranteed payments of approximately $15 thousand per aircraft, per month. The guarantee is reduced, on a per aircraft basis, by actual flight hours utilized by us at the standard contractual cost per hour.

Gama invoices us for member flights on a per flight basis. Costs were subject to annual increases starting January 1, 2015 indexed by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers and applicable taxes. The total amount of fees, net of lease payments from Gama, was $25.7 million, $160.1 million and

F-53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

$163.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

8760 Membership Program

In December 2015, we entered into an agreement with a vendor for charter brokerage services, whereby the parties agreed to equally share the revenue and expenses related to selling memberships in a membership program called 8760 (the “8760 Program”). In April 2018, we agreed to terminate the 8760 Program. Our portion of the 8760 Program losses were $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. We incurred a $0.5 million loss related to the termination, which is included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Brand Ambassador Program

We enter into various agreements with third-parties in which Wheels Up agrees to provide a specified amount of flight time to certain individuals and in exchange the individuals serve as brand ambassadors for Wheels Up. The ambassador program focuses on athletes and celebrities who are members that receive discounted hourly rates, bonus hours or flight credits for activities designed to promote our brand, which may include wearing a Wheels Up logo, photo and video shoots for commercial and promotional usage, social media posts or hosting and or making appearances at Wheels Up events. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, we determined certain commitments to brand ambassadors were not probable of payment and therefore have not recorded an accrual as of each such date. We estimate the aggregate potential future liability under these arrangements is approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Sales and Use Tax Liability

We regularly provide services to members in various states within the continental United States, which may create sales and use tax nexus via temporary presence, potentially requiring the payment of these taxes. We determined that there is uncertainty as to what constitutes nexus in respective states for a state to levy taxes, fees, and surcharges relating to our activity. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, we estimate the potential exposure to such tax liability to be $6.6 million, $6.0 million, and $4.5 million, the expense for which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets and cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

12.

LEASES

Leases primarily pertain to certain controlled aircraft, corporate headquarters, and operational facilities, including aircraft hangars, which are all accounted for as operating leases. We sublease the corporate headquarters and aircraft hangar at CVG from Delta. Certain of these operating leases have renewal options to further extend for additional time periods at our discretion.

Our leases do not contain residual value guarantees, covenants, or other associated restrictions. As a result of our acquisition of WUPJ, we have certain variable lease agreements with aircraft owners that contain payment terms based on an hourly lease rate multiplied by the number of flight hours during a month. Variable lease payments are not included in the right-of-use asset and lease liability balances but rather are expensed as incurred. Variable lease payments were $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Members are not personally liable for any debt or obligation of Wheels Up and they are not required to make additional capital contributions in excess of their respective initial capital contribution. Members are not required to cure any deficit balance in such member’s capital account.

The business and affairs of Wheels Up are managed by a board of directors. The common interests are entitled to appoint two directors (the “Common Directors”) and the Common Directors name an independent director. A fourth director is appointed by an individual that is a member of an investment group that invested in Class A preferred interests (the “Class A Preferred Director”). The Class A Preferred Director proposes a fifth director that is independent and reasonably acceptable to T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”), the lead institutional investor in the Class B preferred interests. The sixth director is an independent director that is mutually acceptable to the Common Directors and T. Rowe Price. The seventh and eighth directors are appointed by Delta. The ability to appoint directors is contingent upon minimum ownership levels being maintained as dictated by the current limited liability company agreement. As of December 31, 2020, the board consisted of eight directors.

Non-liquidating distributions are allocated whereby amounts will be distributed first, to Class A preferred interests, Class B preferred interests, Class C preferred interests, Class D preferred interests and Class E preferred interests at a rate as designated in the current limited liability company agreement on a weighted pro rata based on their relative capital contributions and to the common interests at a rate as

F-56

designated in the current limited liability company agreement until cumulative distributions have been made in respect of each Class A preferred interests, Class B preferred interests, Class C preferred interests, Class D preferred interests and Class E preferred interests in an amount equal to their liquidation preferences; second, to the common interests until the total cumulative distributions including those received in the first instance are equal to the amount received by the Class A preferred interests; third, to the Class A preferred interests and common interests until cumulative distributions are equal to the distribution received by the Class B preferred interests; and fourth, to all Class A preferred interests, Class B preferred interests and common interests in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

A liquidation preference exists such that upon a liquidation or change of control, Wheels Up assets will be distributed first, to the Class A preferred interests, Class B preferred interests, Class C preferred interests, Class D preferred interests and Class E preferred interests on a weighted pro rata basis until an amount equal to the capital contributed per interest is distributed, after taking into account any prior non-liquidating distributions; second, to the common interests pro rata until cumulative distributions per interest equal the distributions made to the Class A preferred interests, after taking into account any prior non-liquidating distributions; third, to the Class A preferred interests and common interests pro rata based on their percentage ownership thereof, until such cumulative distributions per interest equals the cumulative distributions made in respect of the Class B preferred interests, after taking into account any prior non-liquidating distributions; and fourth, to the Class A preferred interests, Class B preferred interests and common interests pro rata based on their percentage ownership thereof. Class A preferred interests and Class B preferred interests have customary, weighted-average, anti-dilution protection in respect to subsequent capital raises. The holders of two thirds of the combined Class A preferred interests and Class B preferred interests have the right to demand an initial public offering on or after May 11, 2021.

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Wheels Up limited liability company agreement has historically allowed for the issuance of equity interests of Wheels Up to its employees. Currently, we have nine equity-based employee compensation plans, the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan (“MIP Plan”), the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan II (“MIP Plan II”), the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan III (“MIP Plan III”), the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan IV (“MIP Plan IV”), the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan V (“MIP Plan V”), the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan VI (“MIP Plan VI”), the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan VII (“MIP Plan VII”) and the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Equity Incentive Plan VIII (“MIP Plan VIII”), which is the management incentive plan and Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Option Plan, which is the stock option plan. No further grants can be made under MIP Plan, MIP Plan II, MIP Plan III, MIP Plan IV, MIP Plan V, MIP Plan VI, and MIP Plan VII. There is an aggregate of 18.2 million shares authorized for issuance under MIP Plan VIII. As of December 31, 2020, there are no shares available for future issuance.

Management Incentive Plan

In March 2014, we established a management incentive plan, which provides for the issuance of profits interests, restricted or unrestricted, to employees, consultants and other qualified persons. As of December 31, 2020, the board of directors had authorized various issuances at various dates of up to an aggregate of approximately 68.0 million profits interests under the management incentive plan. The issuance of profits interests dilutes the ownership of each class of common and preferred interest holders above the participation threshold value at which the said interest holders were granted.

Wheels Up employees, consultants, and other qualified persons were granted profits interests in Wheels Up MIP LLC (“MIP LLC”) in each year between 2014 and 2020, excluding 2017. MIP LLC is a special purpose entity formed specifically to issue profits interests and to allow qualified individuals to share in the income and equity growth of Wheels Up. Each time MIP LLC issues a profits interest to a qualified individual, we issue a related profits interest in Wheels Up to MIP LLC so that the value of each MIP LLC profits interest mirrors that of its related Wheels Up profits interest. The related Wheels Up interests in MIP LLC consist of common interests in Wheels Up that have been designated as profits interests, so that the MIP LLC interest holders share in the growth of Wheels Up along with our common and preferred interest holders.

F-57

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Holders of the profits interests have the right to participate in distributions attributable to the income and growth of Wheels Up above a value at various participation thresholds based on the fair market value of the interests on the date of grant as determined by the board of directors. Generally, the profits interests granted vest over a four-year service period, though vesting may be determined by the board of directors on a grant-by-grant basis.

The following table summarizes the profits interests authorized and issued in MIP LLC and the related participation thresholds (in thousands):

In December 2019, under MIP Plan VII, certain members of the Wheels Up senior executive team were granted 9.4 million restricted interests in Wheels Up MIP RI LLC (“MIP RI LLC”). In November 2020, under MIP Plan VIII, there was an additional grant to certain Wheels Up senior executives of 0.7 million restricted interests. As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate number of restricted interests authorized and issued in MIP RI LLC by the board of directors under the management incentive plan was 10.1 million. MIP RI LLC is a special purpose entity formed specifically to issue restricted interests and to allow qualified individuals to share in the income and equity growth of Wheels Up. Each time MIP RI LLC issues a restricted interest to a qualified individual, we issue a related restricted interest in Wheels Up to MIP RI LLC so that the value of each MIP RI LLC restricted interest mirrors that of its related Wheels Up restricted interest. The related Wheels Up interests in MIP RI LLC consist of common interests in Wheels Up that have been designated as restricted interests, so that the MIP RI LLC interest holders share in the growth of Wheels Up along with our common and preferred interest holders.

Holders of the restricted interests have the right to participate in distributions attributable to the income and growth of Wheels Up. The purchase price of the restricted interests is $0 and there is no participation threshold. The restricted interests granted vest when both of the following conditions exist: (i) ratably over a four-year service period and (ii) upon the first to occur of (A) a change of control and (B) the later to occur of (1) six months after an initial public offering and (2) 30 days after the expiration of any applicable lock-up period in connection with an initial public offering. The ability for restricted interests to also vest if Wheels Up has an initial public offering is different from stock options and profits interests. The board of directors has determined that for purposes of vesting of the restricted interests, an initial public offering would include the consummation of a transaction with a publicly listed and traded special-purpose acquisition company following which the equity interests of Wheels Up would become listed on a stock exchange or otherwise become publicly traded.

Stock Option Plan

In December 2016, we established a stock option plan, which provides for the issuance of stock options to purchase common interests in Wheels Up at an exercise price based on the fair market value of

F-58

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the interests on the date of grant as established by the board of directors. Generally, stock options granted vest over a four-year service period and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. As of December 31, 2020, the number of stock options authorized and issued in aggregate by the board of directors under the stock option plan was 38.1 million.

Fair Value Estimates

We estimate fair value to measure compensation cost of the profits interests, restricted interests, and stock options on the date of grant using techniques that are considered to be consistent with the objective of measuring fair value. In selecting the appropriate technique, management considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies, and the expected means of settlement. We generally use the Black Scholes option-pricing model, that embodies all of the requisite assumptions, including expected trading volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield, necessary to fair value an award.

Estimating fair values of the profits interests, restricted interests and stock options requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external factors. In addition, option-pricing models are highly volatile and sensitive to changes.

The following table summarizes the profits interests activity under the Wheels Up management incentive plan as of December 31, 2020:

	Number of Profits Interests		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value

The total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested profits interests was $3.3 million as of December 31, 2020 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of profits interests granted was $0.19, $0.03, and $0.02 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The total fair value of vested profits interests amounted to $0.7 million, $1.0 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted interests was $18.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted interests granted was $2.25, $1.80 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The total fair value of vested restricted interests amounted to $0 for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Restricted interests are time and performance-based awards that vest with a change in control or initial public offering. We determined the performance condition for these awards is not probable of being achieved until a change in control or initial public offering actually occurs. As a result, we have not recorded any compensation cost related to restricted interests.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The weighted-average remaining contractual term as of December 31, 2020 for stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was approximately 8.8 years and 7.5 years, respectively.

The following table summarizes the status of non-vested stock options as of December 31, 2020:

	Number of Stock Options		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(in thousands)
Non-vested stock options as of January 1, 2020		15,454		$	0.33
Granted		14,740			0.84
Vested		(4,933)			0.36
Forfeited		(1,421)			0.29
Non-vested stock options as of December 31, 2020		23,840		$	0.64

The total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $14.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted was $0.84, $0.36, and $0.27 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested approximated $1.8 million, $0.9 million, and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The following table summarizes the significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value on the date of grant:

	2020	2019	2018
Expected term (in years)	7	7		7
Expected volatility	44% – 47%	32% – 35%		32%
Weighted-average volatility	46%	35%		32%
Risk-free rate	0.4% – 0.7%	1.4% – 2.8%		2.8%
Expected dividend rate	0%	0%		0%

The profits interests, restricted interests and stock options valuation was determined using Level 3 inputs. The expected seven-year term was estimated using the midpoint of the four-year service period and the ten-year contractual term of the awards, due to our non-public company history. As our common interests are not actively traded, expected volatility was estimated based on the historical volatilities of publicly traded companies within the airline industry and certain comparable travel technology companies. We use the published yields for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes to determine the risk-free interest rate. The expected dividend yield is zero as we have never paid and do not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends.

The exercise price is based on the stated participation threshold for the profits interests and not less than the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of equity-based compensation and consequently, the related amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Compensation expense for profits interests recognized in the consolidated statements of operations was $1.1 million, $0.9 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Compensation expense for restricted interests recognized in the consolidated statements of operations was $0 for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Compensation expense for stock options recognized in the consolidated statements of operations was $2.2 million, $1.0 million, and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

RELATED PARTIES

We engage in transactions with certain equity investors who are also members, ambassadors or customers. Such transactions primarily relate to their membership in the Wheels Up program, flights, and flight-related services.

We also paid amounts for equity placement and debt advisory fees to an investor that is a Class A preferred interest, Class B preferred interest and Class C preferred interest holder. The equity placement fees were incurred in connection with the 2016 Class B preferred interest and 2017 Class C preferred interest equity raises and were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds in the members’ equity (deficit) section of the consolidated balance sheets. Debt advisory fees related to credit facilities were capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized over the term of each respective borrowed amount. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, a Class A preferred interest, Class B preferred interest and Class C preferred interest investor held a portion of the debt outstanding under our credit facilities.

Amounts included on the consolidated balance sheets and in the consolidated statements of operations with respect to these equity investor transactions are as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019			2018
Revenue derived from equity investors		$	14,939		$	18,332		$	18,541
Deferred revenue from equity investors		$	14,132		$	10,994		$	11,044
Accounts receivable due from equity investors		$	3,881		$	2,071		$	1,135

During 2020, we recorded expenses in cost of revenue of $4.2 million from transactions related to a commercial cooperation agreement with Delta, our Class E preferred interest investor of which $3.0 million is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. In addition, we provided $2.1 million of flights to certain persons currently and previously affiliated with Delta at a discount to our retail pricing. Delta provided Wheels Up pilots airfare for business travel at no cost during the year.

We incurred expenses of $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, with the company of a Class A preferred interest investor for consultation services on employee benefits. We incurred expenses of $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, with a company in which a Wheels Up executive and a member of the board of directors holds an ownership interest. During 2020, we incurred expenses of $0.2 million for an immediate family member of a Wheels Up executive and a member of the board of directors that was hired as a full-time employee.

During 2018, we provided a member of the board of directors with flight hours in exchange for consulting services as part of a consulting agreement that terminated on December 15, 2018. We paid a consulting service fee in the amount of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to a member of the board of directors, pursuant to a consulting agreement that terminated on December 31, 2018.

Employee Loans Receivable

In January 2016, a senior executive of Wheels Up borrowed $5.0 million from Wheels Up. In August 2016, another employee of Wheels Up borrowed $13 thousand from Wheels Up. Each borrower

F-62

TABLE OF CONTENTS

executed an interest bearing secured promissory note with a maturity date of January 17, 2025, and February 15, 2019, respectively. The interest rates on the loans are 1.81% per annum and 0.56% per annum, respectively, which are payable upon the maturity date. Interest income from employee loans of $0.1 million is included in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The August 2016 employee loan was fully repaid in February 2019.

Based on our anticipation that the board of directors will decide to ultimately forgive the senior executive loan, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a full reserve on the amount outstanding. The $5.4 million reserve is recorded within employee loans receivable on the consolidated balance sheet and in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

As of December 31, 2020, a Gama senior executive had borrowed $0.1 million that was fully repaid in January 2021.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

We sponsor the Wheels Up Partners LLC Retirement Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”). The Savings Plan qualifies for the deferral of employee compensation under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and provides for a discretionary employer match. Under the Savings Plan, participating employees may contribute eligible compensation not to exceed the limit of elective deferrals as defined by the applicable regulations. During 2020, we started making matching contributions and the match was 50% per dollar of participant deferral, up to 6% of the total compensation for each participant. Our contribution vests with the employee after the employee completes three years of service. Employer-funded 401(k) contribution expense was $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. We did not make any matching contributions to the Savings Plan for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

17.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We evaluated events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2020, through March 5, 2021, the date on which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, for potential recognition and disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The following summarizes the subsequent events that require disclosure:

As of January 1, 2021, we maintain employee health insurance coverage on a self-insured basis. Prior to January 1, 2021, we maintained such coverage on a fully-insured basis.

On January 5, 2021, we executed an equity purchase agreement to acquire Mountain Aviation, LLC (“Mountain Aviation”) for a total purchase price of 8,620,690 Wheels Up common interests and $10.0 million in cash. In addition, there is a potential incremental cash earn-out of up to $15.0 million based on achieving certain financial performance metrics in specified business lines, which would be payable in the second quarter of 2023 to the extent achieved. Mountain Aviation adds to our Super-Midsize jet fleet and operations, provides full-service in-house maintenance capabilities, expands our presence in the Western United States and enhances our on-demand transcontinental charter flight capabilities. This acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination, and given the recent date of the acquisition, we have not finalized the determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

On February 1, 2021, Wheels Up entered into a merger agreement with a special purpose acquisition company called Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp. Upon completion of the merger, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2021, Wheels Up will be the operating company and our stock will trade publicly.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

The financial statements represent the historical accounts of Delta Private Jets, Inc. (DPJ or the Company), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (Delta or the Parent). DPJ provides aircraft charter services, aircraft management, and distinctive products and services, including the Delta Private Jets Card (Jet Card) and Sky Access membership. DPJ does not own any of the aircraft used in flight operations. The Company’s fleet is comprised of aircraft subject to agreements with owners. DPJ determined certain of the owner agreements are leases. DPJ is a fixed-base operator (FBO) at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). The Company also operates tech service centers located at CVG and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), which provide comprehensive maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities and services for aircraft operated by DPJ and third-parties. On January 17, 2020, Delta entered into a definitive acquisition agreement with Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, Wheels Up), where Wheels Up acquired the DPJ business from Delta (see Note 10).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Throughout the period included in these financial statements, DPJ operated as part of Delta and not as a separate stand-alone entity. The financial statements and accompanying notes of DPJ have been prepared from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Delta to represent the financial position and performance of DPJ as if it had existed on a stand-alone basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

These financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenue and certain expenses that were specifically identifiable or attributable to DPJ. Transactions and balances between Delta and its subsidiaries and DPJ are reflected as related party transactions. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the statement of cash flows as a financing activity and in the statement of shareholder’s equity as a net parent investment.

These financial statements include an allocation of expenses related to certain Delta shared service activities and corporate functions, including executive management, legal, human resources, tax, information technology, professional services, compliance, insurance, procurement and facilities. These expenses have been charged to DPJ primarily on the basis of direct usage. Delta’s management considers the expense allocation methodology and results to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services or the benefit received. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred if DPJ operated as an independent company or the costs DPJ will incur in the future (see Note 5).

Delta maintains employee benefit and incentive-based compensation programs at a corporate level. Certain employees at DPJ historically participated in those programs, and as such, DPJ was charged a portion of the expenses associated with these programs. However, the balance sheet does not include any amounts related to the incentive-based compensation programs. Any benefit plan liabilities that are DPJ’s direct obligation, such as certain performance-based bonus plans, are reflected in the balance sheet, as well as within DPJ’s costs and expenses (see Note 9).

Use of Estimates

Preparing the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include, but are not limited to, allocation of expenses, the useful lives of property and equipment, the estimated life of customer relationships, the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, impairment assessments, and the incremental borrowing rate for leases.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash. DPJ considers securities with initial maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents held as of December 31, 2019.

F-69

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of contractual amounts DPJ expects to collect from customers primarily related to the sale of Sky Access memberships, flights, ground services, and aircraft management fees, including amounts currently due from credit card companies. DPJ records accounts receivable at the original invoiced amount. DPJ monitors exposure for losses and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for any receivables that may be uncollectible. DPJ estimates uncollectible receivables based on the receivables’ age, customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, changes in customer payment terms, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. When it is determined that the amounts are not recoverable, the receivable is written off against the allowance. As of December 31, 2019, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Parts and Supplies Inventories

Inventories are used in operations and are not for sale. Inventories are comprised of spare aircraft parts, materials, and supplies, which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories are determined using the first-in, first-out method. DPJ determines, based on the evidence that exists, whether or not it is appropriate to maintain a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. The reserve is based on historical experience related to the disposal of inventory due to damage, physical deterioration, obsolescence or other causes. As of December 31, 2019, there was no reserve. Storage costs and indirect administrative overhead costs related to inventories are expensed as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for all property and equipment are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are principally as follows: computer equipment — three years, furniture and fixtures — five years, tooling and rotables — 10 years, and vehicles — five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease (see Note 3).

Software Development Costs

DPJ incurs costs related to developing a website, mobile application and other internal use software. The amounts capitalized include materials, employees’ payroll and payroll-related costs directly associated with the development activities, as well as external direct costs of services used in developing the software. DPJ amortizes capitalized costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, which is currently three years, beginning when the software is ready for its intended use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. DPJ performs periodic reviews to ensure that unamortized software development costs remain recoverable from future revenue (see Note 3).

Leases

DPJ determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception on an individual contract basis. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current, and operating lease liabilities, non-current on the balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in the DPJ leases is not readily determinable to discount the lease payments. As a result, for all leases DPJ uses an incremental borrowing rate that is based on the Delta estimated rate of interest for a collateralized borrowing of a similar asset, using a similar term as the lease payments at the commencement date.

F-70

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that is not due to an index or rate, such as payments made based on hourly rates, are excluded from the lease liability. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal option periods are included within the lease term and the associated payments are recognized in the measurement of the operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability when they are at the discretion of DPJ and considered reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

DPJ has elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease. For real estate leases, DPJ has elected the practical expedient to account for both the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component and not allocate the consideration in the contract. Certain real estate leases contain fixed lease payments that include real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and included in the operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. For non-real estate leases, including aircraft, DPJ has separated the lease and non-lease components. The non-lease components of aircraft leases are typically for maintenance services and insurance that are expensed as incurred (see Note 7).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets consist of property, and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets. DPJ reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based on the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets. There were no impairments of long-lived assets identified in 2019.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that may potentially expose DPJ to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and receivables. DPJ sweeps cash to Delta or places it with high credit quality financial institutions. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain limits, and these deposits, at times may exceed the federally insured limits. DPJ has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Accounts receivable are spread over many customers. DPJ monitors customer credit quality on an ongoing basis and maintains reserves for estimated credit losses.

There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of net revenue in 2019. There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019.

Aircraft Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance for aircraft are expensed as incurred unless covered by a third-party, long-term flight hour service agreement. DPJ has separate service agreements in place covering scheduled and unscheduled repairs of certain aircraft components, as well as the engines in the fleet. Certain of these agreements require monthly payments at rates based either on the number of cycles each aircraft was operated during each month or the number of flight hours each engine was operated during each month, subject to annual escalations. These power-by-the-hour agreements transfer certain risks, including cost risks, to the third-party service providers. They generally fix the amount paid per flight hour or number of cycles in exchange for maintenance and repairs under a predefined maintenance program, which are representative of the time and materials that would be consumed. These costs are expensed as the related flight hours or cycles are incurred.

F-71

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Revenue

DPJ determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

•

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

•

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

•

Determination of the transaction price

•

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

•

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied

Revenue is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) Jet Cards and Flights, (ii) Sky Access memberships, (iii) ground services, and (iv) aircraft management. Contracts are signed by each customer that set forth the terms and conditions for the provision of services. DPJ accounts for a contract when both parties have approved and are committed to perform their obligations, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.

Deferred revenue is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which DPJ has already received consideration. Upon receipt of a prepayment from a customer for all or a portion of the transaction price, DPJ initially recognizes a contract liability. The contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized, when DPJ satisfies its performance obligation to the customer at a future date.

U.S. GAAP requires DPJ to evaluate whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another party, as the agent, using a control model. Based on evaluation of the U.S. GAAP control model, it was determined that DPJ acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue arrangements, other than as the intermediary for travel on Delta and when managed aircraft owners charter their own aircraft. If DPJ has primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation then the revenue and associated costs are reported on a gross basis within the statement of operations.

Revenue is recorded net of discounts on standard pricing and concessions.

DPJ has elected the practical expedient to exclude amounts collected for all sales and other similar taxes in the measurement of the transaction price.

(i)

Jet Cards and Flights

DPJ sells Jet Cards, which allows a customer to pre-purchase dollar-denominated credits at agreement inception that are redeemed for future flights, are refundable for a termination fee, and are generally effective for a term of 24 months. Customers can also reload funds on their Jet Card periodically throughout the term. The Jet Card values are purchased at tiered dollar amounts and entitle customers to all-inclusive hourly pricing and guaranteed flight availability. Additionally, funds can be used to purchase commercial flights on Delta. DPJ, acting in the capacity of an agent, charges the customer a ticketing fee to use their commingled funds on a flight provided by Delta which is recorded on a net basis at the time of booking. There is no membership fee associated with the Jet Card. Jet Card funds are deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer completes a flight. Jet Card breakage is estimated based on historical patterns and recognized concurrent with Jet Card spend during the term of the contract.

In addition, DPJ has a customary business practice of providing Diamond Medallion Status (Status) in Delta’s SkyMiles Program (SkyMiles) for Jet Card purchases. The customer is granted Status free of charge for use during the term of the contract and may assign the Status to any designated individual. Customers do not earn SkyMiles on DPJ flights but can use SkyMiles to purchase Jet Cards. All Jet Card customers that meet designated dollar-denominated flight spend thresholds during the year receive the same Status. Additionally, DPJ does not owe Delta any consideration for the grant of each Status provided. Status is not a material right at contract inception and does not give rise to a separate performance obligation. The provided Status is not recognized as revenue but instead is considered a marketing incentive related to future purchases on Delta.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Owner charter revenue is presented on a net basis for the margin DPJ receives. The owner sources the charter flight and sets the price for each of these trips. DPJ acts as an agent to operate the aircraft on their behalf.

As part of each flight, there is the option to request flight-related services such as catering or ground transportation for an additional charge. Flight-related services, which are passed through at cost or a predetermined margin, were $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Sky Access Memberships

DPJ sells Sky Access memberships, which allows the customer to fly unlimited empty legs on DPJ flights on an annual basis. New customers are typically charged a one-time initiation fee at the commencement of their membership, which is generally non-refundable. In the first year of membership a portion of the initiation fee is applied to their annual dues. The remainder of the initiation fee is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated duration of the customer relationship period, which is estimated to be approximately two years. Customers are charged recurring annual dues to maintain their membership. Revenue related to the initial annual dues, as well as any subsequent renewals, are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the related contractual period, which is generally but not always 12 months. If at any time the membership is terminated, any previously unrecognized amounts are recognized in the period of termination.

There are generally two separate performance obligations for Sky Access. The first performance obligation is for membership services that are recognized over the contract period. The second performance obligation is for future flight and flight-related services.

(iii) Ground Services

DPJ provides FBO ground services for aircraft customers that use the DPJ facility at CVG. FBO is comprised of a single performance obligation for aircraft facility services such as fueling, parking, ground power, and cleaning. FBO revenue is recognized at the point in time each service is provided.

DPJ also separately provides MRO ground services for aircraft customers from the DPJ facilities at CVG and FLL. MRO is comprised of a single performance obligation for aircraft maintenance services such as modifications, repairs, and inspections. MRO revenue is recognized over time based on the cost of inventory consumed and labor hours worked for each service provided.

(iv)

Aircraft Management

DPJ manages aircraft for owners in exchange for a contractual fee. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes recovery of owner incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew, and pilots, as well as recharging of aircraft incurred expenses such as fuel, landing fees, parking, and other related operating costs. DPJ passes the recovery and recharge costs back to owners at zero margin.

Aircraft Management revenue contains two performance obligations. One performance obligation is to provide management services over the contract period. Revenue earned from management services is recognized over the contractual term, on a monthly basis. The second performance obligation is the cost to operate and maintain the aircraft, which is recognized as revenue at the point in time such services are completed.

Owners are also provided Status based on the number of aircraft that are managed by DPJ, which is treated as a marketing incentive as described above.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes current and deferred income taxes and related tax expenses. The income tax provision is calculated as if

F-73

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DPJ filed separate federal and state tax returns and was operating as a stand-alone business apart from Delta. As a stand-alone entity DPJ’s deferred taxes and effective tax rate may differ significantly from those in the historical periods.

Deferred income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by current enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. In making this determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered and certain assumptions are made. DPJ considers, among other things, projected future taxable income, the overall business environment, historical financial results, and tax planning strategies (see Note 8).

DPJ recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained following an audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Once it is determined that the position meets the recognition threshold, the second step requires DPJ to estimate and measure the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The difference between the amount of recognizable tax benefit and the total amount of tax benefit from positions filed or to be filed with the tax authorities is recorded as a liability for uncertain tax benefits. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as DPJ has to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. Uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded on the balance sheet in accrued taxes. As of December 31, 2019, there are no material uncertain tax positions.

DPJ recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as a component of interest expense in the statement of operations. There are no accruals of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2019.

Advertising Costs

DPJ expenses the cost of advertising and promoting services as incurred. Such amounts are included in sales and marketing in the statement of operations and totaled $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in July 2018 with ASU 2018-10, in August 2018 with ASU 2018-11, and in December 2018 with ASU 2018-20. This standard requires companies that lease assets such as aircraft, real estate, and equipment to recognize on their balance sheets the assets and liabilities generated by contracts longer than 12 months. The standard also requires companies to disclose in the footnotes to their financial statements more transparency and information about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of the payments they make for the lease agreements. DPJ adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. DPJ did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning shareholder’s equity balance that needed to be recorded as part of the adoption ASC 842.

In order to simplify the transition, ASC 842 provides a package of three practical expedients, which must be elected together and applied consistently to all leases. DPJ elected the transition package permitted within the standard under which DPJ did not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the classification of any expired or existing leases, or the initial direct costs for any existing leases. DPJ did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient when determining lease term and assessing impairment of right-of-use assets as part of the transition to ASC 842. The adoption on January 1, 2019, resulted in the recognition of $34.4 million of right-of-use assets with a corresponding liability on the balance

sheet, which represents the present value of DPJ future minimum lease payments related to operating leases, primarily aircraft and real estate.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in November 2018 with ASU 2018-19. This standard replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This standard requires companies to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivable, and other financial instruments. This new standard is effective for private companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to shareholder’s equity as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. DPJ is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, including accounting policies, processes, and systems and believes the adoption will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer, and is the basis of revenue recognition in accordance with U.S. GAAP. DPJ has elected the practical expedient to apply the portfolio approach to contracts (or performance obligations) with similar characteristics. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts, DPJ used judgment to evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a portfolio and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. There are some contracts which have additional performance obligations that require allocation of the transaction price, such as providing discounts on memberships or prepaid flights. The amount of reallocations was not material for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Transaction Price

The transaction prices for each DPJ revenue stream are as follows:

•

Flights — The fixed hourly rate times the number of allocated hours per flight segment.

•

Sky Access memberships — The initiation fee when signing up, and the annual dues for all years thereafter.

•

Ground services — Time and materials incurred for the work performed.

•

Aircraft management — The fixed monthly fee to manage the aircraft over the contractual term plus the recovery of owner-incurred expenses and recharge costs that are based on the fixed expenses DPJ incurs to operate and maintain the aircraft.

If there is a group of performance obligations bundled in a contract, the transaction price is allocated based upon the relative standalone selling prices of the promised services underlying each performance obligation. If there are services included in the transaction price for which the standalone selling price is not directly observable, then DPJ would first apply the standalone selling price for those services that are known, such as the flight hourly rate, and then allocate the total consideration proportionately to any other performance obligations in the contract.

Payment Terms

Under standard payment terms, the customer agrees to pay the full stated price in the contract and financing of the transaction is not provided. Revenue in the statement of operations is presented net of discounts of $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. DPJ generally does not issue refunds for flights unless there is a failure to meet a service obligation with respect to such flight. Refunded amounts were not material for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Contract Balances

Receivables from customer contracts are included within accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019 receivables from customers were $5.3 million.

Contract liabilities represent obligations to transfer services to a customer for which DPJ has already received consideration. Jet Card and charter deposits, initiation fees, and annual dues payments are received up front in advance of performance under the contract and initially deferred as a liability. Jet Card and charter funds are recognized as revenue and the deferred revenue liability is reduced at the point in time a flight segment is taken. The initiation fee is recognized upon acquisition of the contract on a straight-line basis over the estimated customer relationship period, which approximates two years. The initial annual dues are recognized upon acquisition of the contract on a straight-line basis for a specified length of time, usually 12 months. Any subsequent recurring contract renewals are recognized on a straight-line basis over an estimated period of 12 months from the date the contract is renewed. Aircraft management contracts require owners to maintain a security deposit with DPJ. Upon termination of the contract, security deposits are paid back to the owner.

The balance classified as non-current deferred revenue includes the portion of Sky Access initiation fees that were estimated to be satisfied in service periods beyond 12 months following the balance sheet

date. Non-current deferred revenue also includes the portion of Jet Card funds that are expected to be used for flights beyond 12 months following the balance sheet date. Recognition of revenue associated with prepaid flights can be difficult to predict, as customers could choose to fly any time at a future date. The deferred revenue recorded as a current liability relates to prepaid flights estimated based on historical utilization patterns.

Deferred revenue consists of the following as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Flights – Jet Card deposits	$	185,580
Aircraft management – security deposits		1,999
Flights – charter deposits		998
Sky Access memberships – fees and dues		793
Other		130
Deferred revenue, total		189,500
Less: Deferred revenue, current		136,554
Deferred revenue, non-current	$	52,946

A rollforward of the amounts included in deferred revenue consists of the following as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Deferred revenue – beginning balance	$	185,900
Amounts deferred during the period		192,456
Revenue recognized from amounts included in the deferred revenue beginning balance		(120,601)
Revenue from current period sales		(68,255)
Deferred revenue – ending balance	$	189,500

Revenue expected to be recognized in future periods for performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of December 31, 2019 approximates $136.6 million and $52.9 million for 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Costs to Obtain a Contract

Commissions are granted to certain employees separately for the initial sale of a Jet Card, additional subsequent contract renewals or when a customer purchases additional funds on their Jet Card. Commissions are also granted for the execution of aircraft management agreements, additional subsequent contract renewals, and performance over the contractual term. Customers are eligible to receive a credit if they refer a new customer who signs up for a Jet Card or Sky Access membership. Commission expense was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. There are no costs to obtain a contract recorded as an asset on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Any costs that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are expensed as incurred.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

DPJ is a party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While DPJ does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any of these pending actions will have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. As such, there can be no assurance that any pending legal action, which DPJ currently believes to be immaterial, does not become material in the future.

As of December 31, 2019, DPJ accrued $350 thousand for a legal matter that was settled in 2020.

LEASES

Leases primarily pertain to certain controlled aircraft, corporate headquarters, and operational facilities, including aircraft hangars, which are all accounted for as operating leases. DPJ subleases the corporate headquarters and aircraft hangar at CVG from Delta. Certain of these operating leases have renewal options to further extend for additional time periods at the discretion of Delta or DPJ.

DPJ leases do not contain residual value guarantees, covenants or other associated restrictions. DPJ has certain Variable Lease agreements with owners that contain payment terms based on an hourly lease rate multiplied by the number of DPJ flight hours during a month. Variable Lease payments are not included in the right of use asset and lease liability balances but rather are expensed as incurred. Variable Lease payments were $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Accordingly, we provided for a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets and no benefit for income taxes has been recorded as of December 31, 2019.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Delta sponsors a defined contribution plan for its employees, which DPJ employees have historically participated in. The defined contribution plan, qualifies for the deferral of employee compensation under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, and provides for a discretionary employer match. During 2019, this match was 70% per dollar of participant deferral, up to 5% of the total compensation for each participant. Employer-funded 401(k) contribution expense was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. 401(k) expenses recognized in the financial statements includes all of the compensation expenses directly attributable to DPJ employees.

(b) Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall send or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, (i) to each Blocker Owner as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time, whose Blocker Equity Interests are to be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a), a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each such equity interest to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange (each, a “Blocker Letter of Transmittal”), and (ii) to each record holder of Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whose Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests (as applicable) were converted pursuant to Section 3.1(d) into the right to receive a portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each share to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”).

(c) Each Blocker Owner, and each record holder of Company Common Interests and Company Preferred Interests, in each case that have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration, pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.1(d), respectively, shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) or, in the case of any Blocker Equity Interests or Company Preferred Interests that are certificated, upon the delivery by the record holder thereof to the Exchange Agent of all certificates for such Blocker Equity Interests or Company Preferred Interests (or a duly completed

affidavit of loss (in a customary form reasonably acceptable to the Exchange Agent) with respect to any lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate), together with a duly completed and validly executed Blocker Letter of Transmittal or Letter of Transmittal, as applicable, and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share.

(d) Following the Second Step Blocker Effective Time or the Effective Time, as the case may be, pending the delivery and surrender to the Exchange Agent of the certificates representing any Blocker Equity Interest or Company Preferred Interest, such certificate(s) shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence the corresponding Blocker Owner’s or Company Equityholder’s right to receive the portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration into which the Blocker Equity Interests or Company Preferred Interests formerly represented thereby shall have been converted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Acquiror all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Acquiror, and any Person that was a holder of Blocker Equity Interests or Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests as of immediately prior to the First Step Blocker Effective Time or Effective Time, respectively, that has not exchanged such Blocker Equity Interests or Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests for an applicable portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, may transfer such Blocker Equity Interests to Acquiror, or such Company Common Interests and/or Company Preferred Interests to Acquiror, and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Acquiror shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Acquiror, Merger Sub, Blocker Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Distributable Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such equity interests shall not have not been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company (in respect of Company Common Interests, Company Preferred Interests and Blocker Equity Interests), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.3. Treatment of Company Options, Profits Interests and Restricted Interests.

(a) Promptly following the Cash Contribution, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive, (i) an option relating to shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, a “Rollover Option”) except that (A) such Rollover Option shall relate to that whole number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of Company Common Interests subject to such Company Option, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (B) the exercise price per share for each such Rollover Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent); provided, however, that the conversion of the Company Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a “modification” of such Company Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(b) As of the Effective Time, each Profits Interest Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into (i) an award of Wheels Up PI Units (a “Rollover Profits Interest Award”) with substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Profits

After the Effective Time, each Wheels Up PI Unit that is or becomes fully vested under the applicable Rollover Profits Interest Award and otherwise becomes exchangeable for Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock pursuant to the A&R LLC Agreement, subject to any applicable transfer restrictions, shall be exchangeable for no greater than one (1) share of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock, based on the intrinsic value of a Wheels Up PI Unit at the time of exchange as provided in the A&R LLC Agreement (for each series of Wheels Up PI Unit). For the avoidance of doubt, MIP LLC shall be the initial record holder of all Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up EO Units received pursuant to this Section 3.3(b).

(c) As of the Effective Time, in respect of each Restricted Interest Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the corresponding Restricted Interest shall be converted into (i) an award of Wheels Up RI Units (a “Rollover Restricted Interest Award”) with substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the same vesting and termination-related provisions, except that such Rollover Restricted Interest Award shall relate to a number of Wheels Up RI Units equal to the product of (1) the number of Restricted Interests subject to such Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) a number of Wheels Up EO Units equal to the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the number of Restricted Interests subject to such Restricted Interest Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Effective Time Company Fully Diluted Shares, multiplied by (2) 9,000,000, which such Wheels Up EO Units shall be subject to vesting as provided in Section 3.4 and the A&R LLC Agreement and to such other terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Restricted Interests Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions. After the Effective Time, each Wheels Up RI Unit that is or becomes fully vested under the applicable Rollover Restricted Interest Award and otherwise becomes exchangeable for Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock pursuant to the A&R LLC Agreement, subject to any applicable transfer restrictions, shall be exchangeable for one (1) share of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock, as provided in the A&R LLC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, MIP RI LLC shall be the initial record holder of all Wheels Up RI Units and Wheels Up EO Units received pursuant to this Section 3.3(c).

(d) The Company shall take all necessary actions to effect the treatment of Company Options, Profit Interest Awards and Restricted Interest Awards pursuant to Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b) and 3.3(c) in accordance with the Company Incentive Plans and the applicable award agreements, including obtaining any necessary approvals and consents, and to ensure that no Rollover Option may be exercised, and no Wheels Up PI Unit or Wheels Up RI Unit may be exchanged for a share of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock, prior to the effective date of an applicable registration on Form S-8 (or other applicable form, including Form S-1 or Form S-4) of Acquiror. The Board of Directors of the Company shall amend the Company Incentive Plans and take all other necessary actions, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, in order to provide that no new Company Awards will be granted under the Company Incentive Plans or in respect of any equity reserve provided thereunder.

For and in consideration of Acquiror entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Blockers hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Acquiror; provided, that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the right of each the Company or the Blockers to pursue a claim against Acquiror for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for Acquiror to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Acquiror Share Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Acquiror’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Acquiror Share Redemptions, or for fraud and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that each of the Company or the Blockers may have in the future against Acquiror’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

(d) Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock an amount equal to the number of then-outstanding PI Units, RI Units and EO Units (or any Common Units into which such PI Units, RI Units or EO Units have been converted) subject to Exchange (each of the “PI Units”, “RI Units”, “EO Units”, “Common Units” and “Exchange” as defined in the Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, dated as of [•], 2021).

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 5.1 Board Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, this Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be further amended from time to time, or the By-Laws of the Corporation (as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, the “By-Laws”), the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL and this Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 5.2 Number, Election and Term.

(a) The number of directors of the Corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board.

(b) Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, the Board shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III. The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, beginning with the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation, each of the successors elected to replace the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, if the number of directors that constitute the Board is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board remove, or shorten the term of, any incumbent director. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The Board is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions thereof, to assign members of the Board already in office to the aforesaid classes at the time this Certificate of Incorporation (and therefore such classification) becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 5.5 Preferred Stock — Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to this Article V unless expressly provided by such terms.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board shall have the power and is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-Laws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-Laws without the assent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Certificate of Incorporation. The By-Laws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders; provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-Laws; and provided further, however, that no By-Laws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such By-Laws had not been adopted.

ARTICLE VII
SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS; ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

Section 7.1 Special Meetings. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, in each case, in accordance with the By-Laws, and may not be called by any other person or persons. The ability of the stockholders of the Corporation to call a special meeting is hereby specifically denied.

Section 7.2 Advance Notice. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the By-Laws. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes identified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto).

Section 7.3 Action by Written Consent. Except as may be otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) relating to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action required or expressly permitted by any Preferred Stock Designation to be taken by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other

C-4

such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant class or series having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

ARTICLE VIII
LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Limitation of Director Liability. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Section 8.2 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers, employees and agents of this Corporation (and any other persons to which applicable law permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through the By-Laws, agreements with such persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by applicable law. If applicable law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VIII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director to the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as so amended. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VIII that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

ARTICLE IX
CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY

Section 9.1 To the extent allowed by law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Certificate of Incorporation or in the future, and the Corporation renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of the Corporation will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to the Corporation, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation with respect to a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and (i) such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to the Corporation without violating any legal obligation.

Section 9.2 Neither the alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Article IX, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) inconsistent with this Article IX, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article IX in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article IX, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition, repeal or adoption. This Article IX shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws or applicable law.

STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS

Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 10.5(a) hereof and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time (the “DGCL”). At each annual meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall elect those directors of the Corporation to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of such annual meeting and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 2.2. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”), and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, and may not be called by any other person. The ability of the stockholders of the Corporation to call a special meeting is hereby specifically denied. Special meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 10.5(a) hereof.

Section 2.3. Notices. Written notice of each stockholders meeting stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 10.3 hereof to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by the Corporation not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting unless otherwise required by the DGCL. If said notice is for a stockholders meeting other than an annual meeting, it shall in addition state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be postponed, and any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be cancelled, by the Board upon public announcement (as defined in Section 2.7(c) hereof) given before the date previously scheduled for such meeting.

Section 2.4. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), or these By-Laws, the presence, in person or by proxy, at a stockholders meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the chairperson of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.6 hereof until a quorum shall attend. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation to vote shares held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 2.5. Voting of Shares.

(a) Voting Lists. The Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) shall prepare, or shall cause the officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation to prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If a meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of remote communication as permitted by Section 10.5(a), the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

(b) Manner of Voting. At any stockholders meeting, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. If authorized by the Board, the voting by stockholders or proxy holders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 10.3), provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder. The Board, in its discretion, or the chairperson of the meeting of stockholders, in such person’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c) Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies need not be filed with the Secretary until the meeting is called to order, but shall be filed with the Secretary before being voted. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority. No stockholder shall have cumulative voting rights.

(i) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

(ii) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(d) Required Vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, at all meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.

(e) Inspectors of Election. The Board may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at such meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may appoint one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspectors of election or alternates are appointed by the Board, the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of outstanding shares and the voting power of each; determine the number of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and report the results; determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors.

Section 2.6. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the chairperson of the meeting, from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, to reconvene at the same or some other place. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time, and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the stockholders, or the holders of any class or series of stock entitled to vote separately as a class, as the case may be, may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If, after the adjournment, a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 10.2, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 2.7. Advance Notice for Business.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (x) who is a stockholder of record entitled to vote at such annual meeting on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.7(a) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (y) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7(a) to the contrary, only persons nominated for election as a director to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of the annual meeting pursuant to Section 3.4 will be considered for election at such meeting.

(i) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business (other than nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. Subject to Section 2.7(a)(iii), a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary with respect to such business, to be timely, must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (which, in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date (as defined in the Certification of Incorporation), the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting shall be deemed to be May [•], 2021) (the “First Annual meeting”); provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date (other than in connection with the First Annual Meeting), notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Corporation. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 2.7(a).

(ii) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary with respect to any business (other than nominations) must set forth as to each such matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event such business includes a proposal to amend these By-Laws, the language of the proposed amendment) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (B) the name and record address of such stockholder and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (C) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record

D-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

by such stockholder and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (D) stockholder description of all agreements, arrangements or understandings (including any contract to purchase or sell, acquisition or grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell swap or other instrument), (E) any material interest of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business and (F) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

(iii) The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder as to any proposal (other than nominations) if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of such stockholder’s intention to present such proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such stockholder has complied with the requirements of such Rule for inclusion of such proposal in a proxy statement prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a); provided, however, that once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business.

Section 2.9. No Consents in Lieu of Meeting. Except as may be otherwise provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders of the Corporation. To the extent an action by one or more classes or series of stockholders of the Corporation is permitted to be taken by written consent pursuant to the terms and limitations set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, the provisions of this Section 2.9 shall apply. All consents properly delivered in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation as required by the DGCL, written consents signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consents of the stockholders shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date has been fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required by the DGCL, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board and prior action

Section 7.4. Consideration and Payment for Shares.

(a) Subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation, shares of stock may be issued for such consideration, having in the case of shares with par value a value not less than the par value thereof, and to such persons, as determined from time to time by the Board. The consideration may consist of any tangible or intangible property or any benefit to the Corporation including cash, promissory notes, services performed, contracts for services to be performed or other securities, or any combination thereof.

(b) Subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation, shares may not be issued until the full amount of the consideration has been paid, unless upon the face or back of each certificate issued to represent any partly paid shares of capital stock or upon the books and records of the Corporation in the case of partly paid uncertificated shares, there shall have been set forth the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon up to and including the time said certificate representing certificated shares or said uncertificated shares are issued.

Section 7.5. Lost, Destroyed or Wrongfully Taken Certificates.

(a) If an owner of a certificate representing shares claims that such certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form if the owner: (i) requests such a new certificate before the Corporation has notice that the certificate representing such shares has been acquired by a protected purchaser; (ii) if requested by the Corporation, delivers to the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, wrongful taking or destruction of such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares; and (iii) satisfies other reasonable requirements imposed by the Corporation.

(b) If a certificate representing shares has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, and the owner fails to notify the Corporation of that fact within a reasonable time after the owner has notice of such loss, apparent destruction or wrongful taking and the Corporation registers a transfer of such shares before receiving notification, the owner shall be precluded from asserting against the Corporation any claim for registering such transfer or a claim to a new certificate representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form.

Section 7.6. Transfer of Stock.

(a) If a certificate representing shares of the Corporation is presented to the Corporation with an endorsement requesting the registration of transfer of such shares or an instruction is presented to the Corporation requesting the registration of transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall register the transfer as requested if:

(i) in the case of certificated shares, the certificate representing such shares has been surrendered;

(ii) (A) with respect to certificated shares, the endorsement is made by the person specified by the certificate as entitled to such shares; (B) with respect to uncertificated shares, an instruction is made by the registered owner of such uncertificated shares; or (C) with respect to certificated shares or uncertificated shares, the endorsement or instruction is made by any other appropriate person or by an agent who has actual authority to act on behalf of the appropriate person;

(iii) the Corporation has received a guarantee of signature of the person signing such endorsement or instruction or such other reasonable assurance that the endorsement or instruction is genuine and authorized as the Corporation may request;

(iv) the transfer does not violate any restriction on transfer imposed by the Corporation that is enforceable in accordance with Section 7.8(a); and

(v) such other conditions for such transfer as shall be provided for under applicable law have been satisfied.

D-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b) Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security and not absolutely, the Corporation shall so record such fact in the entry of transfer if, when the certificate for such shares is presented to the Corporation for transfer or, if such shares are uncertificated, when the instruction for registration of transfer thereof is presented to the Corporation, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.

Section 7.7. Registered Stockholders. Before due presentment for registration of transfer of a certificate representing shares of the Corporation or of an instruction requesting registration of transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to inspect for any proper purpose the stock ledger and the other books and records of the Corporation, vote such shares, receive dividends or notifications with respect to such shares and otherwise exercise all the rights and powers of the owner of such shares, except that a person who is the beneficial owner of such shares (if held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person) may, upon providing documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of such shares and satisfying such other conditions as are provided under applicable law, may also so inspect the books and records of the Corporation.

Section 7.8. Effect of the Corporation’s Restriction on Transfer.

(a) A written restriction on the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of the Corporation or on the amount of shares of the Corporation that may be owned by any person or group of persons, if permitted by the DGCL and noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares or, in the case of uncertificated shares, contained in a notice, offering circular or prospectus sent by the Corporation to the registered owner of such shares within a reasonable time prior to or after the issuance or transfer of such shares, may be enforced against the holder of such shares or any successor or transferee of the holder including an executor, administrator, trustee, guardian or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of the holder.

(b) A restriction imposed by the Corporation on the transfer or the registration of shares of the Corporation or on the amount of shares of the Corporation that may be owned by any person or group of persons, even if otherwise lawful, is ineffective against a person without actual knowledge of such restriction unless: (i) the shares are certificated and such restriction is noted conspicuously on the certificate; or (ii) the shares are uncertificated and such restriction was contained in a notice, offering circular or prospectus sent by the Corporation to the registered owner of such shares within a reasonable time prior to or after the issuance or transfer of such shares.

Section 7.9. Regulations. The Board shall have power and authority to make such additional rules and regulations, subject to any applicable requirement of law, as the Board may deem necessary and appropriate with respect to the issue, transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock or certificates representing shares. The Board may appoint one or more transfer agents or registrars and may require for the validity thereof that certificates representing shares bear the signature of any transfer agent or registrar so appointed.

ARTICLE VIII
LIMITATIONS OF OWNERSHIP BY NON-CITIZENS

Section 8.1. Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) “Act” shall mean Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States Code, as amended, or as the same may be from time to time amended.

(b) “Beneficial Ownership”, “Beneficially Owned” or “Owned Beneficially” refers to beneficial ownership as defined in Rule 13d-3 (without regard to the 60-day provision in paragraph (d)(1)(i) thereof) under the Exchange Act.

(d) “Non-Citizen” shall mean any person or entity who is not a “citizen of the United States” (as defined in Section 41102 of the Act and administrative interpretations thereof issued by the Department

D-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of Transportation or its predecessor or successors, or as the same may be from time to time amended), including any agent, trustee or representative of a Non-Citizen.

(e) “Own or Control” or “Owned or Controlled” shall mean (i) ownership of record, (ii) beneficial ownership or (iii) the power to direct, by agreement, agency or in any other manner, the voting of Stock. Any determination by the Board of Directors as to whether Stock is Owned or Controlled by a Non-Citizen shall be final.

(f) “Permitted Percentage” shall mean 25% of the voting power of the Stock.

(g) “Stock” shall mean the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote; provided, however, that for the purpose of determining the voting power of Stock that shall at any time constitute the Permitted Percentage, the voting power of Stock outstanding shall not be adjusted downward solely because shares of Stock may not be entitled to vote by reason of any provision of this Article VIII.

Section 8.2. Limitations on Ownership. It is the policy of the Corporation that, consistent with the requirements of the Act, Non-Citizens shall not Own and/or Control more than the Permitted Percentage and, if Non-Citizens nonetheless at any time Own and/or Control more than the Permitted Percentage, the voting rights of the Stock in excess of the Permitted Percentage shall be automatically suspended in accordance with Sections 8.3 and 8.4 below.

Section 8.3. Foreign Stock Record. The Corporation or any transfer agent designated by it shall maintain a separate stock record (the “Foreign Stock Record”) in which shall be registered Stock known to the Corporation to be Owned and/or Controlled by Non-Citizens. It shall be the duty of each stockholder to register his, her or its Stock if such stockholder is a Non-Citizen. A Non-Citizen may, at its option, register any Stock to be purchased pursuant to an agreement entered into with the Corporation, as if Owned or Controlled by it, upon execution of a definitive agreement. Such Non-Citizen shall register his, her or its Stock by sending a written request to the Corporation, noting both the execution of a definitive agreement for the purchase of Stock and the anticipated closing date of such transaction. Within 10 days of such closing date, the Non-Citizen shall send to the Corporation a written notice confirming that such closing occurred. Failure to send such confirmatory notice shall result in the removal of such Stock from the Foreign Stock Record. For the avoidance of doubt, any Stock registered as a result of execution of a definitive agreement shall not have any voting or other ownership rights until the closing of that transaction. In the event that the sale pursuant to such definitive agreement is not consummated in accordance with such agreement (as may be amended), such Stock shall be removed from the Foreign Stock Record without further action by the Corporation. The Foreign Stock Record shall include (i) the name and nationality of each such Non-Citizen and (ii) the date of registration of such shares in the Foreign Stock Record. In no event shall shares in excess of the Permitted Percentage be entered on the Foreign Stock Record. In the event that the Corporation shall determine that Stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record exceeds the Permitted Percentage, the voting rights of the owners of the Stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record shall be suspended on a pro rata basis among all such owners (and not in reverse chronological order) so that the aggregate voting rights afforded to all of the Stock registered on the Foreign Stock Registry, taken together (without duplication), are equal to the Permitted Percentage, until such time as, absent such pro rata suspension, the voting rights of all of the Stock registered on the Foreign Stock Registry, taken together (without duplication), would not exceed the Permitted Percentage.

Section 8.4. Suspension of Voting Rights. If at any time the number of shares of Stock known to the Corporation to be Owned and/or Controlled by Non-Citizens exceeds the Permitted Percentage, the voting rights of Stock Owned and/or Controlled by Non-Citizens and not registered on the Foreign Stock Record at the time of any vote or action of the stockholders of the Corporation shall, without further action by the Corporation, be suspended. Such suspension of voting rights shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of the (i) transfer of such shares to a person or entity who is not a Non-Citizen, or (ii) registration of such shares on the Foreign Stock Record, subject to the last two sentences of Section 8.3 above.

Section 8.5. Certificate of Citizenship.

(a) The Corporation may by notice in writing (which may be included in the form of proxy or ballot distributed to stockholders in connection with the annual meeting or any special meeting of the

D-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stockholders of the Corporation, or otherwise) require a person that is a holder of record of Stock or that the Corporation knows to have, or has reasonable cause to believe has, Beneficial Ownership of Stock to certify in such manner as the Corporation shall deem appropriate (including by way of execution of any form of proxy or ballot of such person) that, to the knowledge of such person:

(i) all Stock as to which such person has record ownership or Beneficial Ownership is Owned and Controlled only by citizens of the United States; or

(ii) the number and class or series of Stock owned of record or Beneficially Owned by such person that is Owned and/or Controlled by Non-Citizens is as set forth in such certificate.

(b) With respect to any Stock identified in response to Section 8.5(a)(ii) above, the Corporation may require such person to provide such further information as the Corporation may reasonably require in order to implement the provisions of this Article VIII.

(c) For purposes of applying the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to any Stock, in the event of the failure of any person to provide the certificate or other information to which the Corporation is entitled pursuant to this Section 8.5, the Corporation shall presume that the Stock in question is Owned and/or Controlled by Non-Citizens.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative or any other type whatsoever (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; except as provided in Section 9.3 below with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses or with respect to any compulsory counterclaim brought by such indemnitee, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

Section 9.2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 9.1 above, an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in appearing at, participating in or defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition or in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article IX (which shall be governed by Section 9.3 below of this Article IV) (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if (x) the DGCL requires or (y) in the case of an advance made in a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made solely upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined after final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article IX or otherwise.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 9.3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 9.1 or 9.2 above is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) 60 days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation or (ii) 20 days after a claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if the indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense of the Corporation that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article IX or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

Section 9.4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

(a) The provision of indemnification to or the advancement of expenses and costs to any indemnitee under this Article IX, or the entitlement of any indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs under this Article IX, shall not limit or restrict in any way the power of the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses and costs to such indemnitee in any other way permitted by law or be deemed exclusive of, or invalidate, any right to which any indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnitee’s capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation and as to action in any other capacity.

(b) Given that certain jointly indemnifiable claims (as defined below) may arise due to the service of the indemnitee as a director and/or officer of the Corporation or as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of the indemnitee-related entities (as defined below), the Corporation shall be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with any such jointly indemnifiable claims, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Article IX, irrespective of any right of recovery the indemnitee may have from the indemnitee-related entities. Under no circumstance shall the Corporation be entitled to any right of subrogation against or contribution by the indemnitee-related entities and no right of advancement, indemnification or recovery the indemnitee may have from the indemnitee-related entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the indemnitee or the obligations of the Corporation under this Article IX. In the event that any of the indemnitee-related entities shall make any payment to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to any jointly indemnifiable claim, the indemnitee-related entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee against the Corporation, and the indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the indemnitee-related entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Each of the

D-18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

indemnitee-related entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 9.4(b), entitled to enforce this Section 9.4(b).

Section 9.5. Certain Definitions. For purposes of Section 9.4(b) above, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) The term “indemnitee-related entities” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Corporation or any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which the indemnitee has agreed, on behalf of the Corporation or at the Corporation’s request, to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent and which service is covered by the indemnity described herein) from whom an indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Corporation may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.

(b) The term “jointly indemnifiable claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding for which the indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses from both the indemnitee-related entities and the Corporation pursuant to applicable law, any agreement, certificate of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or comparable organizational documents of the Corporation or the indemnitee-related entities, as applicable.

Section 9.6. Contract Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article IX shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article IV that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 9.7. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Section 9.8. Indemnification of Other Persons. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

Section 9.9. Amendments. Any repeal or amendment of this Article IX by the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provision of these By-Laws inconsistent with this Article IX, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in applicable law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights to Indemnitees on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision; provided, however, that amendments or repeals of this Article IX shall require the affirmative vote of the stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

Section 9.10. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article IX shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article IX shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, each such portion of this Article IX containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 10.1. Place of Meetings. If the place of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or committee of the Board for which notice is required under these By-Laws is not designated in the notice of such meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation; provided, however, if the Board has, in its sole discretion, determined that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 10.5 hereof, then such meeting shall not be held at any place.

Section 10.2. Fixing Record Dates.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2(a) at the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 10.3. Means of Giving Notice.

(a) Notice to Directors. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws notice is required to be given to any director, such notice shall be given either (i) in writing and sent by mail, or by a nationally recognized delivery service, (ii) by means of electronic mail, facsimile telecommunication or other form of electronic transmission, or (iii) by oral notice given personally or by telephone. A notice to a director will be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iv) if sent by facsimile telecommunication, when sent to the facsimile transmission number for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, (v) if sent by electronic mail, when sent to the electronic mail address for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, or (vi) if sent by any other form of electronic transmission, when sent to the address, location or number (as applicable) for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation.

(b) Notice to Stockholders. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws notice is required to be given to any stockholder, such notice may be given (i) in

D-20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

writing and sent either by hand delivery, through the United States mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next day delivery, or (ii) by means of a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder, to the extent permitted by, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 232 of the DGCL. A notice to a stockholder shall be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, when actually received by the stockholder, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation, and (iv) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, (A) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (B) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (C) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specified posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice, and (D) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent to receiving notice by means of electronic communication by giving written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or to the Corporation’s transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

(c) Electronic Transmission. “Electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process, including but not limited to transmission by telex, facsimile telecommunication, electronic mail, telegram and cablegram.

(d) Notice to Stockholders Sharing Same Address. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively by the Corporation to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send such a single written notice shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

(e) Exceptions to Notice Requirements. Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

Whenever notice is required to be given by the Corporation, under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, to any stockholder to whom (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings of stockholders and all notices of stockholder meetings or of the taking of action by written consent of stockholders without a meeting to such stockholder during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (2) all, and at least two payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12-month period, have been mailed addressed to such stockholder at such

Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to such stockholder shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such stockholder’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such stockholder shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to Section 230(b) of the DGCL. The exception in subsection (1) of the first sentence of this paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given by electronic transmission.

Section 10.4. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws, a written waiver of such notice, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to such required notice.

(b) Board Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.

Each Option shall be set forth in an Award Agreement, duly executed on behalf of the Company and by the Participant to whom such Option is granted.

Each such Award Agreement shall be subject to at least the following terms and conditions:

Option Price

In the case of an Incentive Option granted to a Participant that owns, directly or by reason of the applicable attribution rules, ten percent (10%) or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, and in the case of a Nonstatutory Option, the Option price per share of the Shares covered by each such Incentive Option or Nonstatutory Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of the grant of the Option. In all other cases of Incentive Options, the Option price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant.

Number of Shares

Each Option shall state the number of Shares to which it pertains.

Term of Option

Each Incentive Option shall terminate not more than ten (10) years from the date of the grant thereof, or at such earlier time as the Award Agreement may provide, and shall be subject to earlier termination as herein provided, except that if the Option price is required under Paragraph A of this Article VII to be at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of Fair Market Value, each such Incentive Option shall terminate not more than five (5) years from the date of the grant thereof, and shall be subject to earlier termination as herein provided. The Committee shall determine the time at which a Nonstatutory Option shall terminate.

Date of Exercise

Upon the authorization of the grant of an Option, or at any time thereafter, the Committee may, subject to the provisions of Paragraph C of this Article VII, prescribe the date or dates on which the Option becomes exercisable, and may provide that the Option rights become exercisable in installments over a

E-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

period of years, and/or upon the attainment of stated goals. Unless the Committee otherwise provides in writing, or unless otherwise required by law (including, if applicable, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act), the date or dates on which the Option becomes exercisable shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. It is expressly understood that Options hereunder shall, unless otherwise provided for in writing by the Committee, be granted in contemplation of, and earned by the Participant through the completion of, future employment or service with the Company.

Medium of Payment

The Option price shall be payable upon the exercise of the Option, as set forth in Paragraph I. It shall be payable in such form (permitted by Section 422 of the Code in the case of Incentive Options) as the Committee shall, either by rules promulgated pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of the Plan, or in the particular Award Agreement, provide.

Termination of Employment

1. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, a Participant who ceases to be an employee or Key Non-Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate for any reason other than death, Disability or termination for Cause, may exercise any Option granted to such Participant, to the extent that the right to purchase Shares thereunder has become exercisable by the date of such termination, but only within three (3) months (or such other period of time as the Committee may determine, with such determination in the case of an Incentive Option being made at the time of the grant of the Option and not exceeding three (3) months) after such date, or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option, and subject to the conditions that (i) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the term of the Option and (ii) unless the Committee otherwise provides, no Option that has not become exercisable by the date of such termination shall at any time thereafter be or become exercisable. A Participant’s employment shall not be deemed terminated by reason of a transfer to another employer that is the Company or an Affiliate or in the event a Participant’s status changes from full-time employee to part-time employee or Consultant.

2. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, a Participant who ceases to be an employee or Key Non-Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate for Cause shall, upon such termination, cease to have any right to exercise any Option.

3. Except as the Committee may otherwise expressly provide or determine (consistent with Section 422 of the Code, if applicable), a Participant who is absent from work with the Company or an Affiliate because of temporary disability (any disability other than a Disability), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose permitted by the Company or by any authoritative interpretation (i.e., regulation, ruling, case law, etc.) of Section 422 of the Code, shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated his or her employment or relationship with the Company or with an Affiliate. For purposes of Incentive Options, no leave of absence may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract (or the Committee approves such longer leave of absence, in which event the Incentive Option held by the Participant shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Option on the date that is six (6) months following the first day of such leave).

4. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, Paragraph F(1) shall control and fix the rights of a Participant who ceases to be an employee or Key Non-Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate for any reason other than Disability, death or termination for Cause, and who subsequently becomes Disabled or dies. Nothing in Paragraphs G and H of this Article VII shall be applicable in any such case except that, in the event of such a subsequent Disability or death within the three (3)-month period after the termination of employment or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option, the Participant or the Participant’s estate or personal representative may exercise the Option permitted by this Paragraph F, in the event of Disability, within twelve (12) months after the date that the Participant ceased to be an employee or Key Non-Employee of the Company or an Affiliate, or, in the event of death, within twelve (12) months after the date of death of such Participant.

A Participant who ceases to be an employee or Key Non-Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability may exercise any Option granted to such Participant to the extent that the right to purchase Shares thereunder has become exercisable on or before the date such Participant becomes Disabled, as determined by the Committee.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, a Disabled Participant, or his estate or personal representative, shall exercise such rights, if at all, only within a period of not more than twelve (12) months after the date that the Participant became Disabled as determined by the Committee (notwithstanding that the Participant might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if the Participant had not become Disabled) or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.

Death

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, in the event that a Participant to whom an Option has been granted ceases to be an employee or Key Non-Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of such Participant’s death, such Option, to the extent that the right is exercisable but not exercised on the date of death, may be exercised by the Participant’s estate or personal representative within twelve (12) months after the date of death of such Participant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option, notwithstanding that the decedent might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if the Participant were alive and had continued to be an employee or Key Non-Employee of the Company or of an Affiliate.

Exercise of Option and Issuance of Stock

Options shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company. Such written notice shall: (i) be signed by the person exercising the Option, (ii) state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and (iii) specify a date (other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday) not more than ten (10) days after the date of such written notice, as the date on which the Shares will be purchased. Such tender and conveyance shall take place at the principal office of the Company during ordinary business hours, or at such other hour and place agreed upon by the Company and the person or persons exercising the Option. On the date specified in such written notice (which date may be extended by the Company in order to comply with any blackout limitations, or with laws or regulations that require the Company to take any action with respect to the Option Shares prior to the issuance thereof), the Company shall accept payment for the Option Shares in cash, by bank or certified check, by wire transfer, or by such other means as may be approved by the Committee. In the event of any failure to pay for the number of Shares specified in such written notice on the date set forth therein (or on the extended date as above provided), the right to exercise the Option shall terminate with respect to such number of Shares, but shall continue with respect to the remaining Shares covered by the Option and not yet acquired pursuant thereto.

If approved in advance by the Committee, and subject to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the requirements of any applicable securities laws, payment in full or in part also may be made: (i) by delivering Shares, or by attestation of Shares, which have a total Fair Market Value on the date of such delivery equal to the Option price and provided that accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company; (ii) by the execution and delivery of a note or other evidence of indebtedness (and any security agreement thereunder) satisfactory to the Committee; (iii) by authorizing the Company to retain Shares that otherwise would be issuable upon exercise of the Option having a total Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the Option price; (iv) by the delivery of cash or the extension of credit by a broker-dealer to whom the Participant has submitted a notice of exercise or otherwise indicated an intent to exercise an Option (in accordance with part 220, Chapter II, Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, a so-called “cashless” exercise); or (v) by any combination of the foregoing.

Rights as a Stockholder

No Participant to whom an Option has been granted shall have rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by such Option except as to such Shares as have been registered in the Company’s share register in the name of such Participant upon the due exercise of the Option and tender of the full Option price.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Assignability and Transferability of Option

Unless otherwise permitted by the Code or by Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, if applicable, and approved in advance by the Committee, an Option granted to a Participant shall not be transferable by the Participant and shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by such Participant or, in the event of the Participant’s incapacity, his guardian or legal representative. Except as otherwise permitted herein, such Option shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process and any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of any Option or of any rights granted thereunder contrary to the provisions of this Paragraph K, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an Option or such rights, shall be null and void.

Other Provisions

The Award Agreement for an Incentive Option shall contain such limitations and restrictions upon the exercise of the Option as shall be necessary in order that such Option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Further, the Award Agreements authorized under the Plan shall be subject to such other terms and conditions including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Option, as the Committee shall deem advisable and which, in the case of Incentive Options, are not inconsistent with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.

VIII.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

A. The Committee may from time to time grant an Award in Shares of Common Stock or grant an Award denominated in units of Common Stock, for such consideration as the Committee deems appropriate (which amount may be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the Award), and subject to such restrictions and conditions and other terms as the Committee may determine at the time of the Award (including, but not limited to, continuous service with the Company or its Affiliates, achievement of specific business objectives, increases in specified indices, attainment of growth rates and/or other measurements of Company or Affiliate performance), and subject further to the general provisions of the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, and the following specific rules.

B. If Shares of Restricted Stock are awarded, such Shares cannot be assigned, sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated prior to the lapse of the restrictions applicable thereto, and, in no event, absent Committee approval, prior to six (6) months from the date of the Award.

C. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units issued to a Participant under the Plan shall be governed by an Award Agreement that shall specify whether Shares of Common Stock are awarded to the Participant, or whether the Award shall be one not of Shares of Common Stock but one denominated in units of Common Stock, any consideration required thereto, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.

D. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs B and E hereof and the restrictions set forth in the related Award Agreement, the Participant receiving an Award of Shares of Restricted Stock shall thereupon be a stockholder with respect to all of such Shares and shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote such Shares and to receive dividends and other distributions made with respect to such Shares. All Common Stock received by a Participant as the result of any dividend on the Shares of Restricted Stock, or as the result of any stock split, stock distribution or combination of the Shares affecting Restricted Stock, shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in the related Award Agreement.

E. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units awarded to a Participant pursuant to the Plan will be forfeited, and any Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units sold to a Participant pursuant to the Plan may, at the Company’s option, be resold to the Company for an amount equal to the price paid therefor, and, in either case, such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall revert to the Company, if the Company so determines in accordance with Article XV or any other condition set forth in the Award Agreement, or, alternatively, if the Participant’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates terminates, other than for reasons set forth in Article XIV, prior to the expiration of the forfeiture or restriction provisions set forth in the Award Agreement.

E-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

F. The Committee, in its discretion, shall have the power to accelerate the date on which the restrictions contained in the Award Agreement shall lapse with respect to any or all Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units awarded under the Plan.

G. Any Restricted Stock Units, if not previously forfeited, shall be payable in accordance with Article XVI at the time set forth in the Award Agreement.

H. The Committee may prescribe such other restrictions, conditions and terms applicable to Restricted Stock issued or Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant under the Plan that are neither inconsistent with nor prohibited by the Plan or the Award Agreement, including, without limitation, terms providing for a lapse of the restrictions of this Article or any Award Agreement in installments.

IX.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

If deemed by the Committee to be in the best interests of the Company, a Participant may be granted a Right. Each Right shall be granted subject to such restrictions and conditions and other terms as the Committee may specify in the Award Agreement at the time the Right is granted, subject to the general provisions of the Plan, and the following specific rules.

A. Rights may be granted, if at all, either singly, in combination with another Award, or in tandem with another Award. At the time of grant of a Right, the Committee shall specify the base price of Common Stock to be used in connection with the calculation described in Paragraph B below, provided that the base price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock on the date of grant, unless approved by the Board.

B. Upon exercise of a Right, which shall, absent Committee approval, be not less than six (6) months from the date of the grant, the Participant shall be entitled to receive in accordance with Article XVI, and as soon as practicable after exercise, the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the base price specified in such Right, multiplied by the number of Shares of Common Stock then subject to the Right, or the portion thereof being exercised.

C. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Award granted to a Participant allows him or her to elect to cancel all or any portion of an unexercised Option by exercising an additional or tandem Right, then the Option price per Share of Common Stock shall be used as the base price specified in Paragraph A to determine the value of the Right upon such exercise and, in the event of the exercise of such Right, the Company’s obligation with respect to such Option or portion thereof shall be discharged by payment of the Right so exercised. In the event of such a cancellation, the number of Shares as to which such Option was canceled shall become available for use under the Plan, less the number of Shares, if any, received by the Participant upon such cancellation in accordance with Article XVI.

D. A Right may be exercised only by the Participant (or, if applicable under Article XIV, by a legatee or legatees of such Right, or by the Participant’s executors, personal representatives or distributees).

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

A Participant may be granted an Award in the form of Dividend Equivalents. Such an Award shall entitle the Participant to receive cash, Shares, other Awards or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified number of Shares. Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares, Awards or other investment vehicles, and subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify.

XI.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Awards of Shares and/or Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, Shares or on the Fair Market Value thereof (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive, or vest with respect to, one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a

E-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the number of Shares to be awarded to a Participant under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards and all other terms and conditions of such Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable).

XII.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS

A. A Participant may be granted an Award that is subject to performance conditions specified by the Committee. The Committee may use business criteria and/or other measures of performance as it deems appropriate in establishing any performance conditions (including, but not limited to, continuous service with the Company or its Affiliates, achievement of specific business objectives, increases in specified indices, attainment of growth rates and/or other measurements of Company or Affiliate performance), and may exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under any Award subject to performance conditions.

B. Any Performance Award will be forfeited if the Company so determines in accordance with Article XV or any other condition set forth in the Award Agreement, or, alternatively, if the Participant’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates terminates, other than for reasons set forth in Article XIV, prior to the expiration of the time period over which the performance conditions are to be measured.

C. Achievement of performance goals in respect of such Performance Awards shall be measured over such periods as may be specified by the Committee.

D. Settlement of Performance Awards may be in cash or Shares or other property, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce or increase the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Performance Award.

XIII.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CASH AWARDS

A. The Committee may from time to time authorize the award of cash payments under the Plan to Participants, subject to such restrictions and conditions and other terms as the Committee may determine at the time of authorization (including, but not limited to, continuous service with the Company or its Affiliates, achievement of specific business objectives, increases in specified indices, attainment of growth rates and/or other measurements of Company or Affiliate performance), and subject to the general provisions of the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, and the following specific rules.

B. Any Cash Award will be forfeited if the Company so determines in accordance with Article XV or any other condition set forth in the Award Agreement, or, alternatively, if the Participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or its Affiliates terminates, other than for reasons set forth in Article XIV, prior to the attainment of any goals set forth in the Award Agreement or prior to the expiration of the forfeiture or restriction provisions set forth in the Award Agreement, whichever is applicable.

C. The Committee, in its discretion, shall have the power to change the date on which the restrictions contained in the Award Agreement shall lapse, or the date on which goals are to be measured, with respect to any Cash Award.

D. Any Cash Award, if not previously forfeited, shall be payable in accordance with Article XVI on or about March 15 of the fiscal year immediately following the fiscal year during which the goals are attained, and in no event later than December 31 of such year.

E. The Committee may prescribe such other restrictions, conditions and terms applicable to the Cash Awards issued to a Participant under the Plan that are neither inconsistent with nor prohibited by the Plan or the Award Agreement, including, without limitation, terms providing for a lapse of the restrictions, or a measurement of the goals, in installments.

XIV.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE

Except as may otherwise be (i) provided in Article VII for Options, (ii) provided for under the Award Agreement or (iii) permitted pursuant to Paragraphs A through C of this Article XIV (subject to the

E-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

limitations under the Code for Incentive Options), if the employment or service of a Participant terminates, all unexpired, unpaid, unexercised or deferred Awards shall be canceled immediately.

Retirement under a Company or Affiliate Retirement Plan

When a Participant’s employment or service terminates as a result of retirement as defined under a Company or Affiliate tax-qualified retirement plan, the Committee may permit Awards to continue in effect beyond the date of retirement in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement, and/or the exercisability and vesting of any Award may be accelerated.

Termination in the Best Interests of the Company or an Affiliate

When a Participant’s employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate terminates and, in the judgment of the chief executive officer or other senior officer designated by the Committee, the acceleration and/or continuation of outstanding Awards would be in the best interests of the Company, the Committee may (i) authorize, where appropriate, the acceleration and/or continuation of all or any part of Awards granted prior to such termination and/or (ii) permit the exercise, vesting and payment of such Awards for such period as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, subject to earlier cancellation pursuant to Article XV or at such time as the Committee shall deem the continuation of all or any part of the Participant’s Awards are not in the Company’s or its Affiliate’s best interests.

Death or Disability of a Participant

In the event of a Participant’s death, the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries shall have a period up to the earlier of (i) the expiration date specified in the Award Agreement, or (ii) the expiration date specified in Paragraph H of Article VII, within which to receive or exercise any outstanding Awards held by the Participant under such terms as may be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Rights to any such outstanding Awards shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the following order: (a) to beneficiaries so designated by the Participant; (b) to a legal representative of the Participant; or (c) to the persons entitled thereto as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Awards so passing shall be paid and/or may be exercised at such times and in such manner as if the Participant were living.

1. In the event a Participant is determined by the Company to be Disabled, and subject to the limitations of Paragraph G of Article VII, Awards may be paid to, or exercised by, the Participant, if legally competent, or by a legally designated guardian or other representative if the Participant is legally incompetent by virtue of such Disability.

2. After the death or Disability of a Participant, the Committee may in its sole discretion at any time (i) terminate restrictions in Award Agreements, (ii) accelerate any or all installments and rights and/or (iii) instruct the Company to pay the total of any accelerated payments in a lump sum to the Participant, the Participant’s estate, beneficiaries or representative, notwithstanding that, in the absence of such termination of restrictions or acceleration of payments, any or all of the payments due under the Awards ultimately might have become payable to other beneficiaries.

XV.

CANCELLATION AND RESCISSION OF AWARDS

Unless the Award Agreement specifies otherwise, the Committee may cancel any unexpired, unpaid, unexercised or deferred Awards at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement, the Plan, or with the following conditions:

A. A Participant shall not breach any restrictive covenant, employment, consulting or other agreement entered into between him or her and the Company or any Affiliates, or render services for any organization or engage directly or indirectly in any business which, in the judgment of the Committee or a senior officer designated by the Committee, is or becomes competitive with the Company, or which organization or business, or the rendering of services to such organization or business, is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company. For a Participant whose employment or engagement has terminated, the judgment of the Committee shall be based on the terms of the restrictive covenant agreement, if applicable, or on the Participant’s position and responsibilities while employed or engaged by the Company or its Affiliates, the Participant’s post-employment/engagement responsibilities and position with the other organization or business, the extent of past, current and potential competition or conflict

E-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

between the Company and the other organization or business, the effect of the Participant’s assuming the post-employment/engagement position on the Company’s or its Affiliate’s customers, suppliers, investors and competitors, and such other considerations as are deemed relevant given the applicable facts and circumstances. A Participant may, however, purchase as an investment or otherwise, stock or other securities of any organization or business so long as they are listed upon a recognized securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, and such investment does not represent a substantial investment to the Participant or a greater than one percent (1%) equity interest in the organization or business.

B. A Participant shall not, without prior written authorization from the Company, disclose to anyone outside the Company or its Affiliates, or use in other than the Company’s or Affiliate’s business, any confidential information or materials relating to the business of the Company or its Affiliates, acquired by the Participant either during or after his or her employment or engagement with the Company or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Participant is hereby notified, in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, that the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. The Participants are further notified that if they file a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the Company’s trade secrets to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Participant (a) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (b) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

C. A Participant shall disclose promptly and assign to the Company all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the Participant during employment or engagement with the Company or an Affiliate, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business, research or development work of the Company or its Affiliates, and shall do anything reasonably necessary to enable the Company or its Affiliates to secure a patent, trademark, copyright or other protectable interest where appropriate in the United States and in foreign countries.

Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to an Award, the Participant shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that he or she is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the provisions of Paragraphs A, B and C of this Article XV. Failure to comply with the provisions of Paragraphs A, B and C of this Article XV at any time prior to, or during the one (1) year period after, the date Participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or any Affiliate terminates shall cause any exercise, payment or delivery which occurred during the two (2) year period prior to the breach of Paragraph A, B or C of this Article XV to be rescinded. The Company shall notify the Participant in writing of any such rescission within one (1) year of the date it acquires actual knowledge of such breach. Within ten (10) days after receiving such a notice from the Company, the Participant shall pay to the Company the amount of any gain realized or payment received as a result of the exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to the Award. Such payment shall be made either in cash or by returning to the Company the number of Shares of Common Stock that the Participant received in connection with the rescinded exercise, payment or delivery. The Company’s rights of rescission hereunder shall be in addition to any and all other remedies that may be available to the Company at law or in equity in such event, including, without limitation, the right to request any court of competent jurisdiction to issue a decree of specific performance or issue a temporary and permanent injunction, without the necessity of the Company posting bond or furnishing other security and without proving special damages or irreparable injury, enjoining and restricting the breach, or threatened breach, of any such covenant.

XVI.

PAYMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK, RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS, RIGHTS, OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS, PERFORMANCE AWARDS AND CASH AWARDS

Payment of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Rights, Other Stock-Based Awards, Performance Awards and Cash Awards may be made, as the Committee shall specify, in the form of cash, Shares of Common Stock, or combinations thereof; provided, however, that a fractional Share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the fractional Share of Common Stock at the time of payment.

WITHHOLDING

Except as otherwise provided by the Committee,

A. the Company shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any grant, exercise or payment made under or as a result of this Plan; and

B. in the case of payments of Awards, or upon any other taxable event hereunder, a Participant may elect, subject to the approval in advance by the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, if any, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be transferred to the Participant having a Fair Market Value, on the date the tax is to be determined, equal to the marginal tax that could be imposed on the transaction (up to the Participant’s maximum required tax withholding rate or such other lesser rate that will not cause an adverse accounting consequence or cost). All elections shall be made in writing and signed by the Participant.

XVIII.

SAVINGS CLAUSE; CODE SECTION 409A

This Plan is intended to comply in all respects with applicable law and regulations, including, (i) with respect to those Participants who are officers or directors for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if applicable, (ii) Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (iii) Section 409A of the Code (or be exempt therefrom). The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes, interest or penalties incurred under Section 409A and in no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on a Participant by Section 409A of the Code or damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Plan shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In case any one or more provisions of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law and regulation (including Rule 16b-3 and Section 409A of the Code), the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed null and void; provided, however, to the extent permitted by law, any provision that could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Plan to be construed in compliance with all applicable law (including Rule 16b-3 and Section 409A of the Code) so as to foster the intent of this Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to Participants who are officers and directors for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, if applicable, and if required to comply with rules promulgated thereunder, no grant of, or Option to purchase, Shares shall permit unrestricted ownership of Shares by the Participant for at least six (6) months from the date of grant or Option, unless the Board determines that the grant of, or Option to purchase, Shares otherwise satisfies the then current Rule 16b-3 requirements.

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee” at the time of the Participant’s “separation from service” (as determined under Section 409A of the Code) then, to the extent necessary to comply with, and avoid imposition on such Participant of any tax penalty imposed under, Section 409A of the Code, any payment required to be made to a Participant hereunder upon or following his or her separation from service that would result in such a tax penalty shall be delayed until the first to occur of (i) the six (6)-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service and (ii) the Participant’s death. Should payments be delayed in accordance with the preceding sentence, the accumulated payment that would have been made but for the period of the delay shall be paid in a single lump sum during the ten (10) day period following the lapsing of the delay period. No provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement shall be construed to indemnify any Participant for any taxes incurred by reason of Section 409A (or timing of incurrence thereof), other than an express indemnification provision therefor.

XIX.

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION; CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS

If the outstanding Shares of the Company are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another entity by reason of any reorganization, merger

E-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or consolidation, or if a change is made to the Common Stock of the Company by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, change in par value, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or dividends payable in capital stock, or the like, the Company shall make adjustments to such Awards (including, by way of example and not by way of limitation, the grant of substitute Awards under the Plan or under the plan of such other entity or the suspension of the right to exercise an Award for a specified period of time in connection with a corporate transaction) as it may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances, and, in addition, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares or securities and in the option price per share or security subject to outstanding Awards under the Plan or under the plan of such successor entity. The foregoing notwithstanding, unless the Committee otherwise determines, no such adjustment shall be made to an Option which shall, within the meaning of Sections 424 and 409A of the Code, as applicable, constitute such a modification, extension or renewal of an option as to cause it to be considered as the grant of a new option.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the timing of the exercise provisions of any Award in the event of (i) the adoption of a plan of merger or consolidation under which a majority of the Shares of the Company would be converted into or exercised for cash or securities of any other corporation or entity or (ii) a sale or exchange of all or any portion of the Company’s assets or equity securities. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participants, provide for one or more of the following in the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, sale of all or any portion of the Company’s assets or capital stock, including but not limited to a “going-private” transaction: (i) the assumption of the Plan and outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent; (ii) the substitution by the surviving entity or its parent of awards with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Awards; (iii) notice to the holders of vested and exercisable Options and Rights of their ability to exercise vested and exercisable Options and Rights effective contingent upon and immediately prior to such transaction followed by the cancellation of all unexercised Options and Rights (whether or not then vested and exercisable); (iv) settlement of the intrinsic value of the outstanding vested Options and Rights in cash or cash equivalents or equity followed by the cancellation of all Options and Rights (whether or not then vested or exercisable); and (v) cancellation of all unvested or unexercisable Awards; provided, however, that in connection with an assumption or substitution of Awards under subsections (i) or (ii) above, the Awards so assumed or substituted shall continue to vest or become exercisable pursuant to the terms of the original Award, except to the extent such terms are otherwise rendered inoperative. In connection with any such transaction, each Participant shall, to the extent so provided under the definitive transaction agreement, (i) be subject to any earn-outs, purchase price adjustments, holdbacks, escrows and other contingent payments on the terms set forth in the definitive transaction agreement, (ii) be subject to all indemnification and other obligations of the Company’s equityholders in connection with such transaction, (iii) be bound by the appointment of any equityholder representative who shall represent the Company’s equityholders under the definitive transaction agreement as the representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for the Participant, with the power and authority to act on the Participant’s behalf with respect to the definitive transaction agreement, and (iv) execute such additional agreements or documentation, if any, as may be required under the definitive transaction agreement to reflect the foregoing or the treatment of the Participant’s Awards, including without limitation, letters of transmittal or cash-out agreements.

Upon a business combination by the Company or any of its Affiliates with any corporation or other entity through the adoption of a plan of merger or consolidation or a share exchange or through the purchase of all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of such other corporation or entity, the Board or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Options pursuant hereto to all or any persons who, on the effective date of such transaction, hold outstanding options to purchase securities of such other corporation or entity and who, on and after the effective date of such transaction, will become employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or its Affiliates. The number of Shares subject to such substitute Options shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the transaction by which the business combination is effectuated. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Plan, the other terms of such substitute Options shall be substantially the same as or economically equivalent to the terms of the options for which such Options are substituted, all as determined by the Board or by the Committee, as the case may be. Upon the grant of substitute Options pursuant hereto, the options to purchase securities of such other corporation or entity for which such Options are substituted shall be canceled immediately.

DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY

Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company other than in connection with a transaction to which Article XIX is applicable, all Awards granted hereunder shall terminate and become null and void; provided, however, that if the rights of a Participant under the applicable Award have not otherwise terminated and expired, the Participant may, if the Committee, in its sole discretion, so permits, have the right immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise any Award granted hereunder to the extent that the right thereunder has become exercisable as of the date immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation.

XXI.

TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

The Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the earlier of the date of its adoption by the Board or the date of its approval by the stockholders. The Plan may be terminated at an earlier date by vote of the stockholders or the Board; provided, however, that any such earlier termination shall not affect any Award Agreements executed prior to the effective date of such termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any Options granted prior to the effective date of the Plan’s termination may be exercised until the earlier of (i) the date set forth in the Award Agreement, or (ii) in the case of an Incentive Option, ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted; and the provisions of the Plan with respect to the full and final authority of the Committee under the Plan shall continue to control.

The Plan may be amended by the Board and such amendment shall become effective upon adoption by the Board; provided, however, that any amendment shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company at or before the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company if such stockholder approval is required by the Code, any federal or state law or regulation, the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares may be listed or quoted, or if the Board, in its discretion, determines to submit such changes to the Plan to its stockholders for approval.

The Board may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall (a) materially impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent or (b) except for adjustments made pursuant to Article XIX, reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or Rights or cancel or amend outstanding Options or Rights for the purpose of repricing, replacing or regranting such Options or Rights with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or Rights or cancel or amend outstanding Options or Rights with an exercise price that is greater than the Fair Market Value of a Share for the purpose of exchanging such Options or Rights for cash or any other Awards without stockholder approval. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted if the Board, in its discretion, determines that such amendment is necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation systems on which the Shares may be listed or traded or changes in tax or other applicable laws or regulatory requirements.

XXIII.

EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent the Company or an Affiliate from terminating the employment of a Participant, nor to prevent a Participant from terminating the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate, unless otherwise limited by an agreement between the Company (or an Affiliate) and the Participant.

XXIV.

INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE

In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as directors or as members of the Committee, the members of the Committee shall, to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken by them as directors or members of the Committee and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the Board) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any

E-18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that the director or Committee member is liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his or her duties. To receive such indemnification, a director or Committee member must first offer in writing to the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to defend any such action, suit or proceeding.

XXV.

UNFUNDED PLAN

Insofar as it provides for payments in cash in accordance with Article XVI, or otherwise, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are entitled to cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under the Plan, any such accounts shall be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by cash, Common Stock or rights thereto, nor shall the Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company, the Board or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of any cash, Common Stock or rights thereto to be granted under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any Participant with respect to a grant of cash, Common Stock or rights thereto under the Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by the Plan and any Award Agreement; no such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Board nor the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by the Plan.

XXVI.

MITIGATION OF EXCISE TAX

Unless otherwise provided for in the Award Agreement or in any other agreement between the Company (or an Affiliate) and the Participant, if any payment or right accruing to a Participant under this Plan (without the application of this Article XXVI), either alone or together with other payments or rights accruing to the Participant from the Company or an Affiliate, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code and regulations thereunder), such payment or right shall be reduced to the largest amount or greatest right that will result in no portion of the amount payable or right accruing under the Plan being subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or being disallowed as a deduction under Section 280G of the Code. The determination of whether any reduction in the rights or payments under this Plan is necessary shall be made by the Company. The Participant shall cooperate in good faith with the Company in making such determination and providing any necessary information for this purpose.

XXVII.

EFFECTIVE DATE

This Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board, provided that the adoption of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company if such stockholder approval is required by the Code, any federal or state law or regulations, the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares may be listed or quoted, or if the Board, in its discretion, desires to submit the Plan to its stockholders for approval.

XXVIII. RECOVERY

If the Company is or becomes subject to regulations or listing standards adopted pursuant to Section 10D of the Exchange Act, then each Award granted pursuant to the Plan, each Share acquired pursuant to the Plan, and all proceeds in respect of any such Awards or Shares shall be subject to any “clawback” or similar policy of the Company adopted pursuant to such regulations or listing standards that may be in effect from time to time, whether before or after the grant, exercise or settlement of such Awards or Shares.

XXIX.

FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS

To the extent the Committee determines that the restrictions imposed by the Plan preclude the achievement of the material purposes of the Plan in jurisdictions outside the United States of America, the Committee in its discretion may modify those restrictions as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to applicable requirements or practices of jurisdictions outside of the United States of America.

DEFERRAL OF AWARDS

At the time of the grant of an Award, the Company may permit a Participant to elect to:

(a)

have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Award credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books;

(b)

have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Award converted into an equal number of Rights; or

(c)

have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Award converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date on which they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant.

A deferred compensation account established under this Article XXX may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee and shall be subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is permitted or required, the Committee may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Article XXX.

XXXI.

GOVERNING LAW

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

The Committee will furnish each Participant with a statement of his or her vested Options/shares of Stock at least annually. The Participant should review this statement for accuracy.

Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC
601 West 26th Street, Suite 900
New York, NY 10001
Attention: Chief Business Officer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) is by and among Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Delta Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Investor”), and, effective at the Effective Time and expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing, Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Acquiror”). The Company and the Investor, and at the Effective Time and subject to the occurrence of the Closing, Acquiror, are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”

Concurrently herewith, the Company is entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among Acquiror, KittyHawk Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Merger Sub”), Wheels Up Blocker Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Blocker Sub”), the Company and certain other parties thereto. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Board Representation

The Company agrees that it will exercise its right to designate the initial directors of Acquiror under Section 8.6(a)(i) of the Merger Agreement in a manner such that those directors will include two director nominees identified by the Investor as provided herein, with one of such directors designated to serve as a Class III Director under Acquiror’s Governing Documents and the other designated to serve as a Class I Director under Acquiror’s Governing Documents, subject to all legal requirements regarding service and election or appointment as a director of Acquiror and to Section 1(f) hereof (collectively, the “Qualification Requirements”; a director nominee designated by the Investor meeting such requirements, an “Investor Board Representative”), in each case so long as the Investor, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, continues to hold of record and beneficially in the aggregate at least 50% of the Class E Preferred Interests as of the Effective Time (the “50% Threshold”); provided, however, that, subject to Section 4 of this Letter Agreement, if the Investor, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, holds of record and beneficially less than 50% but more than 25% of the Class E Preferred Interests as of the Effective Time (the “Intermediate Threshold”), then the Investor shall only have the right to designate one Investor Board Representative who shall be a Class III Director; provided, further, however, that if the Investor, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, holds of record and beneficially less than 25% of the Class E Preferred Interests as of the Effective Time (the “Minimum Threshold”), the Investor shall have no rights under this Section 1 to designate an Investor Board Representative. The Investor will notify the Company in writing of the director nominees designated pursuant to this Section 1 no later than five business days prior to the Company’s expected filing of the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement (the “Deadline”), and provide such information as the Company and/or Acquiror may reasonably request with respect to such director nominees in connection with such filing; provided that, the Company has notified the Investor in writing of the date of the Deadline at least five business days prior to the Deadline.

For so long as the Investor continues to satisfy (i) the 50% Threshold, upon the expiration of the term of any Investor Board Representative designated or nominated pursuant to this Agreement, Acquiror agrees, to, subject to applicable Law and the requirements of any applicable stock exchange (it being understood that the Investor Board Representatives will not be independent),

F-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to nominate and recommend to its stockholders the election of an Investor Board Representative at any special meeting or annual meeting of Acquiror’s stockholders called for the purpose of the election of Class I or Class III directors, as applicable to such expiring Investor Board Representative, subject to satisfaction of the Qualification Requirements or (ii) the Intermediate Threshold (but not the 50% Threshold), upon the expiration of the term of the Investor Board Representative designated or nominated pursuant to this Agreement, Acquiror agrees, to, subject to applicable Law and the requirements of any applicable stock exchange (it being understood that the Investor Board Representative will not be independent), to nominate and recommend to its stockholders the election of an Investor Board Representative at any special meeting or annual meeting of Acquiror’s stockholders called for the purpose of the election of Class I or Class III directors, as applicable to the expiring Investor Board Representative, subject to satisfaction of the Qualification Requirements. With respect to any Investor Board Representative nominated by the Investor under this Section 1(b), Acquiror will include such nominee in its proxy materials for the applicable annual or special meeting together with the other nominees recommended by Acquiror and will treat such nominee in such materials a manner consistent with its other nominees.

Upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal from office as a member of the Board of Directors of any Investor Board Representative, the Investor shall have the right, subject to applicable Law and the requirements of any applicable stock exchange (it being understood that the Investor Board Representative will not be independent), to designate the replacement for such Investor Board Representative, which replacement must also satisfy the Qualification Requirements; provided that Investor shall only have replacement rights for two Investor Board Representatives for so long as Investor continues to satisfy the 50% Threshold; provided, further, that Investor shall have replacement rights for one Investor Board Representative in the event that Investor continues to satisfy the Intermediate Threshold (but not the 50% Threshold); provided, further, that Investor shall have no replacement rights if Investor does not satisfy the Minimum Threshold. Acquiror shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such person, including if applicable, to nominate such individual to fill the resulting vacancy on the same basis as provided in Section 1(b), in each case to the extent consistent with applicable Law and the requirements of any applicable stock exchange (it being understood that the Investor Board Representative will not be independent).

If any Investor Board Representative is nominated by Acquiror for election to the Board of Directors, but fails to be elected, then Acquiror shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, subject to applicable Law and stock exchange requirements (it being understood that the Investor Board Representative will not be independent), and provided that such an action would not result in a “withhold” or “no” vote with respect to director elections at the next annual meeting at which such a vote may be cast for any other directors as a matter of policy by ISS, Glass-Lewis or other major proxy advisory firm, increase the size of its board of directors and appoint an individual designated in writing by the Investor who is reasonably acceptable to Acquiror and meets the Qualification Requirements to be an Investor Board Representative (such individual to be different from the individual who was not elected) to the Board of Directors of Acquiror.

To the same extent offered to other members of the Board of Directors, the Investor Board Representatives shall be entitled to indemnification, expense reimbursement and insurance coverage in connection with his or her role as a director of Acquiror, as applicable, but shall not be entitled to receive any compensation therefor.

Each Investor Board Representative must be “a citizen of the United States,” as defined in Title 49, United States Code, Section 40102 and administrative interpretations thereof issued by the Department of Transportation or its predecessor or successors, or as the same may be from time to time amended, unless otherwise agreed by the Company in its sole discretion.

For purposes of this Agreement, following the Effective Time, references to the 50% Threshold, the Intermediate Threshold and the 25% Threshold shall refer to the shares of Acquiror Common Stock into which the Class E Preferred Interests are converted by virtue of the Mergers.

F-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Investor will promptly provide to the Company and Acquiror such information regarding its Investor Board Representatives and nominees as may be reasonably requested by either of them in connection the making of any filing with any Governmental Authority (whether before or after the Effective Time), and may disclose such information in connection with such filings.

Promptly following the date upon which the Investor no longer satisfies either the 50% Threshold or the Intermediate Threshold (or if applicable, both), the Investor will promptly cause one (or if applicable, both) of its Investor Board Representatives then serving of the Board of Directors to offer to resign from such service (unless, at such time the Investor is entitled to cause the appointment of an Investor Board Representative under Sections 1(c) or 1(d) and such appointment is pending, in which case the process thereof shall automatically be withdrawn and discontinued). For the avoidance of doubt, no failure of the Board of Directors to accept such resignation, or subsequent voluntary nomination by the Company of any director nominee suggested by the Investor who is no longer an Investor Board Representative thereafter following such time shall be construed to provide the Investor with any rights hereunder with respect to the continuation of such director nominee.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall obligate Acquiror to maintain a classified Board of Directors structure, and it may elect to discontinue such structure at any time (subject to its Governing Documents and applicable Law). Any such discontinuation of Acquiror’s classified Board of Directors structure shall have no effect on the Investor’s rights hereunder except that any references to an Investor Board Representative being of any particular Class of director shall thereafter be disregarded and of no further force and effect.

Sale of New Securities

After the Effective Time, for so long as the Investor continues to satisfy the Minimum Threshold, or has an Investor Board Representative on the Board of Directors, if at any time Acquiror makes any public or nonpublic offering or sale of any equity (including Common Stock and preferred stock), or any securities, warrants, rights, options or debt that is convertible or exchangeable into equity or that includes an equity component (such as, an “equity kicker”) (including any hybrid security) (any such security, a “New Security”), then in each such instance, Acquiror shall not, without the prior written consent of the Investor, issue any New Securities to American Airlines Group, Inc., United Airlines Holdings, Inc., Southwest Airlines Co., Alaska Air Group, Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corporation, or any of their respective subsidiaries or parent entities (collectively, the “Prohibited Investors”).

Consultation on Hiring

After the Effective Time, for so long as the Investor satisfies the Minimum Threshold, Acquiror shall, and Acquiror shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) reasonably consult with the Investor prior to terminating or appointing a replacement, or filling any vacancy for, the senior most officer at each of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries that is an operating company who has primary responsibility for the following areas: flight operations, safety, maintenance and quality control, which reasonable consultation shall include reviewing search criteria and any potential replacement candidates with Investor and reasonably considering potential candidates suggested by Investor and (b) in any event will provide the Investor with not less than 3 business days’ notice prior to making any such appointment. This obligation shall be deemed to be satisfied in the event that the Investor has been so consulted with respect to the termination or appointment of the Company’s Executive Vice President of Flight Operations or a substantially equivalent successor position (regardless of whether there is a termination or vacancy filled at any position at any operating company Subsidiary of the Company).

Commercial Cooperation Agreement

If the Commercial Cooperation Agreement, dated as of January 17, 2020, by and among the Investor, the Company and Wheels Up Partners LLC (as amended from time to time, the “Commercial Cooperation Agreement”) is terminated by either party in accordance with its terms, (a) the rights and obligations set forth in Section 3 of this Letter Agreement shall terminate with immediate effect and (b) the number of Investor Board Representatives that the Investor has the right to nominate and/or designate under Section 1

Within forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to or file with the Commission a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), if the Company is then eligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf, in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such submission or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the filing date thereof if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement and (b) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.5.

2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.5, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities.

Subject to Section 3.5, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of the Sponsor, a Wheels Up Holder or a Director Holder, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, any then available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of the Sponsor, the Wheels Up Holders and the Director Holders.

2.1.4 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. Subject to Section 3.5, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, the Sponsor or a Wheels Up Holder (any of the Sponsor or a Wheels Up Holder being in such case, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $100 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to Section 2.4.4, the Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Sponsor and a Wheels Up Holder may each demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.1.6 Withdrawal. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that the Sponsor or a Wheels Up

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Holder may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Sponsor, the Wheels Up Holders or any of their respective Permitted Transferees, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless either (i) such Demanding Holder has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) such Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown); provided that, if the Sponsor or a Wheels Up Holder elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Sponsor or such Wheels Up Holder, as applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred (i) in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6 and (ii) following a Withdrawal Notice if the Sponsor or a Wheels Up Holder elects to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown as set forth above.

The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering.

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration (subject to such broker, placement agent or sales agent providing such certification or representation reasonably requested by the Company’s independent registered public accountants and the Company’s counsel) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters for a transaction of its type as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, to the extent customary for a transaction of its type, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the broker, placement agents or sales agent, if any and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, broker, placement agent, sales agent or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters;

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, statement of operations covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule then in effect);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Stock Distributions. In connection with any Shelf or Shelf Takedown, if the Company shall receive a request from a Holder of Registrable Securities to effectuate a pro rata in-kind distribution or other similar transfer for no consideration of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration to its members, partners, stockholders, as the case may be, then the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the transfer agent and registrar for the Registrable Securities an opinion of counsel to the Company reasonably acceptable to such transfer agent and registrar that any legend referring to the Act may be removed upon such distribution or other transfer of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration, provided that the distributee or transferee of such Registrable Securities is not and has not been for the preceding ninety (90) days an affiliate of Parent (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Act). The Company’s obligations hereunder are conditioned upon the receipt of a representation letter reasonably acceptable to the Company from such Holder regarding such proposed pro rata in-kind distribution or other similar transfer for no consideration of such Registrable Securities.

3.4 Requirements for Participation in Registration Statement in Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable

G-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person or entity may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person or entity (i) agrees to sell such person’s or entity’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements approved in good faith by the Company subject to its obligations in Section 3.1.13 and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.4 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.5 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

3.5.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice and that the Company shall be responsible for Registration Expenses in connection with correcting the Misstatement), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

3.5.2 Subject to Section 3.5.4, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board such Registration, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.5.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.

3.5.3 Subject to Section 3.5.4, (a) during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or 2.4.

3.5.4 The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.5.2 or a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.5.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, for not more than seventy-five (75) consecutive calendar days or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case, during any twelve (12)-month period.

3.6 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly

G-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.6. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person or entity who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or (b) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the

G-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1.5. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant rights to register any Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) pursuant to the Securities Act that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder (such rights “Competing Registration Rights”) without (a) the prior written consent of (i) the Sponsor (for so long as the Sponsor and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), (ii) upon a transfer by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 6.2.2(y), a majority-in-interest of such Permitted Transferees of the Sponsor (so long as such Permitted Transferees of the Sponsor hold any Registrable Securities), and (iii) each Wheels Up Holder which, together with its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, shares of Common Stock, Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units, which together represent on an as-converted basis, at least one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or (b) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and conditions. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

6.8 Term. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (b) with respect to any Holder, on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 3.6 and Article IV shall survive any termination.

6.9 Holder Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder.

6.10 Additional Holders; Joinder. In addition to persons or entities who may become Holders pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, subject to the prior written consent of each of the Sponsor, and each Wheels Up Holder (in each case, so long as such Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, taking into account any Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units held by such Holder and its affiliates on an as-converted basis), the Company may make any person or entity who acquires Common Stock, Wheels Up PI Units or Wheels Up RI Units, or rights to acquire Common Stock, Wheels Up PI Units or Wheels Up RI Units after the date hereof a party to this Agreement (each such person or entity, an “Additional Holder”) by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Additional Holder in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Such Joinder shall specify the rights and obligations of the applicable Additional Holder under this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery and subject to the terms of a Joinder by such Additional Holder, the Common Stock, Wheels Up PI Units and Wheels Up RI Units then owned, or underlying any rights then owned, by such Additional Holder (the “Additional Holder Common Stock”) shall

be Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein and therein and such Additional Holder shall be a Holder under this Agreement with respect to such Additional Holder Common Stock.

6.11 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.12 Entire Agreement; Restatement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. Upon the Closing, the Original RRA shall no longer be of any force or effect.

6.13 Adjustments. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Registrable Securities by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or sale, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to the Registrable Securities as so changed.

Annex H

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into on February 1, 2021, by and between Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ASPL”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”).

WHEREAS, this Subscription Agreement is being entered into in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among ASPL, Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), KittyHawk Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of ASPL (“ASPL Merger Sub”), Wheels Up Blocker Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of ASPL (“WUP Blocker Sub”), the Blocker Merger Subs (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) and the Blockers (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things, the Blockers will simultaneously merge with and into the Blocker Merger Subs, with the Blockers surviving each merger as wholly owned subsidiaries of ASPL, followed by a simultaneous merger of the Blockers with and into WUP Blocker Sub, with WUP Blocker Sub surviving each merger, followed by a merger of ASPL Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a subsidiary of ASPL, and ASPL will change its name to “Wheels Up Experience Inc.”, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein (such mergers, collectively, the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, prior to the closing of the Transaction (and as more fully described in the Transaction Agreement), ASPL will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020 Revision) (the “Domestication”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, ASPL is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase, following the Domestication and prior to the closing of the Transaction, shares of ASPL’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share, as such shares will exist as Class A common stock following the Domestication (the “Shares”), in a private placement for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Subscription Price”);

WHEREAS, the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount”; and

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, ASPL is entering into: (a) separate subscription agreements with certain other investors that are existing directors or officers of the Company with an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000 (collectively, the “Insider PIPE Investors” and, such investment, the “Insider PIPE Investment”); and (b) separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “Other Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (other than the Insider PIPE Investors) (the “Other Investors”) with an aggregate purchase price of $547,500,000 (inclusive of the Subscription Amount) (the “PIPE Investment”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and ASPL acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from ASPL the number of Shares set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on a closing date (the “Closing Date”) specified in the Closing Notice (as defined below), and be conditioned upon the prior or substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction (the closing date of the Transaction, the “Transaction Closing Date”). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) ASPL

H-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that ASPL reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on an expected Transaction Closing Date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver the Subscription Amount three (3) business days prior to the expected Closing Date by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by ASPL in the Closing Notice. On the Closing Date, ASPL shall issue the Shares to the Investor and subsequently cause the Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor on ASPL share register and will provide to the Investor, upon request by the Investor, evidence of such issuance from ASPL’s transfer agent. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York or governmental authorities in the Cayman Islands (for so long as ASPL remains domiciled in Cayman Islands) are authorized or required by law to close. Prior to or at the Closing, Investor shall deliver to ASPL a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. In the event the Transaction Closing Date does not occur within two (2) business days after the Closing Date under this Subscription Agreement, ASPL shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) return the Subscription Amount to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor, and any book-entries for the Shares shall be deemed repurchased and cancelled; provided that, unless this Subscription Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 8 hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or relieve the Investor of its obligation to purchase the Shares at the Closing in the event ASPL delivers a subsequent Closing Notice in accordance with this Section 2.

3. Closing Conditions. The obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement is subject to the following conditions: (a) there shall not be in force any injunction or order enjoining or prohibiting the issuance and sale of the Shares under this Subscription Agreement; (b) the terms of the Transaction Agreement (including the conditions thereto) shall not have been amended or waived in a manner that is materially adverse to the Investor (in its capacity as such); (c)(i) solely with respect to the Investor’s obligation to close, the representations and warranties made by ASPL, and (ii) solely with respect to the ASPL’s obligation to close, the representations and warranties made by the Investor, in each case, in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date other than (x) those representations and warranties qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date and (y) those representations and warranties expressly made as of an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification, all respects) as of such date, in each case without giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions; and (d) solely with respect to ASPL’s obligation to close, the Investor shall have delivered to the Placement Agents (as defined below) a signed copy of the investor representation letter addressed to the Placement Agents in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto and dated as of the Closing Date.

4. Further Assurances. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

5. ASPL Representations and Warranties. ASPL represents and warrants to the Investor that:

(a) ASPL is an exempted company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (to the extent such concept exists in such jurisdiction). ASPL has all power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement. As of the Closing Date, following the Domestication, ASPL will be duly incorporated, validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b) As of the Closing Date, the Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under ASPL’s organizational documents (as in effect at such time of issuance) or under the Delaware General Corporation Law or laws of the Cayman Islands, as the case may be.

H-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by ASPL and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Investor, this Subscription Agreement is enforceable against ASPL in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

(d) The issuance and sale by ASPL of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of ASPL or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which ASPL or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which ASPL or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of ASPL is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of ASPL and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”), or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of ASPL to comply in all material respects with its obligations under this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of ASPL; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over ASPL or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of ASPL to comply in all material respects with its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

(e) As of their respective filing dates, all reports required to be filed by ASPL with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since September 25, 2020 (the “SEC Reports”) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. None of the SEC Reports filed under the Exchange Act included, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that ASPL makes no such representation or warranty with respect to any registration statement or any proxy statement/prospectus to be filed by ASPL with respect to the Transaction or any other information relating to the Company or any of its affiliates included in any SEC Report or filed as an exhibit thereto. ASPL has timely filed with the SEC each SEC Report that ASPL was required to file with the SEC. As of the date hereof, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by ASPL from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports.

(f) ASPL is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, other than (i) filings with the SEC, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) the filings required in accordance with Section 12 of this Subscription Agreement; (iv) those required by the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, including with respect to obtaining approval of ASPL’s stockholders, and (v) the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) As of the date hereof, ASPL has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that ASPL is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by ASPL to the Investor.

H-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(i) Neither ASPL nor any person acting on its behalf has offered or sold the Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising in violation of the Securities Act.

(j) As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares of ASPL are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the NYSE. Following the Domestication, the Shares are expected to be registered under the Exchange Act and to be listed for trading on the NYSE. There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of ASPL, threatened against ASPL by the NYSE or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Shares or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Shares on the NYSE, excluding, for the purposes of clarity, the customary ongoing review by NYSE in connection with the Transaction and any action in connection with the pre-Domestication Class A ordinary shares of ASPL in connection with the Domestication. ASPL has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act prior to the Closing.

(k) ASPL is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or commission in connection with the sale of the Shares other than to the Placement Agents (as defined below).

(l) The Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same Per Share Subscription Price and other terms with respect to the purchase of the Shares that are no more favorable to such subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement, other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such subscriber or its affiliates or related funds that are mutual funds or are otherwise subject to regulations related to the timing of funding and the issuance of the related Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5(l) shall not apply to any document entered into in connection with the Insider PIPE Investment; provided, however, that such Insider PIPE Investment shall be with respect to the same class of common stock being acquired by the Investor hereunder and at the same Per Share Subscription Price.

(m) ASPL acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged by Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Shares hereunder, and Investor effecting a pledge of Shares shall not be required to provide ASPL with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to ASPL pursuant to this Agreement. ASPL hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Shares to such pledgee by Investor.

6. Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to ASPL that:

(a) The Investor (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Investor is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, the Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A). The Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares and is an “institutional account” as defined by FINRA Rule 4512(c).

(b) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and that ASPL is not required to register the Shares except as set forth in Section 7 of this Subscription Agreement. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to ASPL or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, in each case, in accordance with any applicable

securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions, and that any certificates or book entries representing the Shares shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will be subject to the foregoing transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and that the provisions of Rule 144(i) will apply to the Shares. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal, tax and accounting prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Shares.

(c) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is purchasing the Shares from ASPL. The Investor further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Investor by or on behalf of ASPL, the Company, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of ASPL expressly set forth in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement.

(d) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including, with respect to ASPL, the Transaction and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed ASPL’s filings with the SEC. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor and such Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.

(e) The Investor became aware of this offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and ASPL, the Company or a representative of ASPL or the Company, and the Shares were offered to the Investor solely by direct contact between the Investor and ASPL, the Company or a representative of ASPL or the Company. The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means. The Investor acknowledges that the Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, ASPL, the Company, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of ASPL contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in ASPL.

(f) The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in ASPL’s filings with the SEC. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The Investor acknowledges that Investor shall be responsible for any of the Investor’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and that neither ASPL nor the Company has provided any tax advice or any other representation or guarantee regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement.

(g) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in ASPL. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(h) In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor and the representations and warranties of ASPL in Section 5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning ASPL, the Company, the Transaction, the Transaction Agreement, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Shares or the offer and sale of the Shares.

(i) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

The signature of the Investor on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of ASPL, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

(l) Neither the Investor nor any of its officers, directors, managers, managing members, general partners or any other person acting in a similar capacity or carrying out a similar function, is (i) a person named on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, the Sectoral Sanctions Identification List, or any other similar list of sanctioned persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), or any similar list of sanctioned persons administered by the European Union or any individual European Union member state, including the United Kingdom (collectively, “Sanctions Lists”); (ii) directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons on a Sanctions List; (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located or resident, or a citizen, national, or the government, including any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, the Crimea region of Ukraine, or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, the European Union or any individual European Union member state, including the United Kingdom; (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515; or (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”).

(the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. The Investor also represents that it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with sanctions administered by the United States, the European Union, or any individual European Union member state, including the United Kingdom, to the extent applicable to it.

(n) The Investor is not a foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244).

7. Registration Rights.

(a) ASPL agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), ASPL will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (if ASPL is then eligible to use a Form S-3 shelf registration) (the “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement which are eligible for registration (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such submission or filing) (the “Registrable Shares”) and ASPL shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies ASPL that it will “review” the Registration Statement and (ii) the 10th business day after the date ASPL is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that ASPL’s obligations to include the Registrable Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Investor furnishing in writing to ASPL such information regarding Investor or its permitted assigns, the securities of ASPL held by Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by ASPL to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares, and Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as ASPL may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing

H-7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that ASPL shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, as permitted hereunder; provided that Investor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Shares. For as long as the Investor holds Shares, ASPL will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor). Any failure by ASPL to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve ASPL of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7.

(b) At its expense ASPL shall:

(i) except for such times as ASPL is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which ASPL determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Shares, (B) the date all Registrable Shares held by Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for ASPL to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (C) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which ASPL is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;

(ii) during the Registration Period, advise Investor, as expeditiously as possible:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;

(2) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(3) of the receipt by ASPL of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(4) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, ASPL shall not, when so advising Investor of such events, provide Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding ASPL other than to the extent that providing notice to Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding ASPL;

(iii) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7(b)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as ASPL is permitted hereunder to suspend, and

H-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, ASPL shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the shares of Class A common stock issued by ASPL have been listed;

(vi) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Investor to review disclosure regarding the Investor in the Registration Statement; and

(vii) during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, ASPL shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Registration Statement if it determines that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (i) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by ASPL or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event ASPL’s board of directors reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by ASPL in the Registration Statement of material information that ASPL has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of ASPL’s board of directors to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that ASPL may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from ASPL of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which ASPL agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by ASPL that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by ASPL unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by ASPL, Investor will deliver to ASPL or, in Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares in Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(d) Indemnification.

(i) ASPL agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, agents and each person who controls Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one law firm) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to ASPL by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein.

(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to ASPL in writing such information and affidavits as ASPL reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify ASPL, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls ASPL (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of such Investor shall be several and not joint with any other investor and shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

H-10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) If the Shares acquired hereunder are either eligible to be sold (i) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (ii) without restriction under, and without ASPL being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then at the Subscriber’s request, ASPL will reasonably cooperate with ASPL’s transfer agent, such that any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such Shares will be removed in connection with a sale of such shares.

8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied at, or are not capable of being satisfied on or prior to, the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be or are not consummated at the Closing and (d) July 31, 2021 if the closing of the Transaction has not occurred on or before such date; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. ASPL shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, any monies paid by the Investor to ASPL in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within one business day after such termination) returned to the Investor.

9. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that ASPL is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving ASPL and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in ASPL’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated September 22, 2020 (the “IPO Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of ASPL’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of ASPL’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of ASPL, its public shareholders and the underwriter of ASPL’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to ASPL to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus. For and in consideration of ASPL entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or

H-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Investor’s record or beneficial ownership of Class A ordinary shares of ASPL acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned, other than an assignment to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Investor or an affiliate thereof, subject to, if such transfer or assignment is prior to the Closing, such transferee or assignee, as applicable, executing a joinder to this Subscription Agreement or a separate subscription agreement in substantially the same form as this Subscription Agreement, including with respect to the Subscription Amount and other terms and conditions, provided, that, in the case of any such transfer or assignment, the initial party to this Subscription Agreement shall remain bound by its obligations under this Subscription Agreement in the event that the transferee or assignee, as applicable, does not comply with its obligations to consummate the purchase of Shares contemplated hereby. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to ASPL hereunder or any of ASPL’s obligations may be transferred or assigned other than pursuant to the Transaction.

(b) ASPL may request from the Investor such additional information as ASPL may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares and in connection with the inclusion of the Shares in the Registration Statement, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures. The Investor acknowledges that ASPL may file a form of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of ASPL.

(c) The Investor acknowledges that ASPL and the Placement Agents (as third party beneficiaries with the right to enforce Section 4, Section 5, Section 6, Section 10, and Section 11 hereof on their own behalf and not, for the avoidance of doubt, on behalf of ASPL) will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify ASPL and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor set forth herein are no longer accurate.

(d) ASPL, the Placement Agents and the Investor are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(e) All of the representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. All of the covenants and agreements made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto and, to the extent required by the Transaction Agreement, the Company. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

(g) This Subscription Agreement (including the schedule hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 7(d),

For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose, the Directors may, after notice has been given by advertisement in an appointed newspaper or any other newspaper or by any other means in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed forty days.

Subject to the terms of the Articles, any Member may transfer all or any of his Shares by an instrument of transfer provided that such transfer complies with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. If the Shares in question were issued in conjunction with rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Articles on terms that one cannot be transferred without the other, the Directors shall refuse to register the transfer of any such Share without evidence satisfactory to them of the like transfer of such option or warrant.

7.2

The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law or in any other form approved by the Directors and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the Directors so require, signed by or on behalf of the transferee) and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a Clearing House or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Directors may approve from time to time. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members.

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares

8.1

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of such Shares, except Public Shares, shall be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of such Shares.

K-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member.

Variation of Rights of Shares

10.1

Subject to Article 3.1, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class (other than with respect to a waiver of the provisions of the Class B Share Conversion Article hereof, which as stated therein shall only require the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that class), or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

10.2

For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

10.3

The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or Shares issued with preferred or other rights.

Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

Non Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise

K-9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

Lien on Shares

13.1

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

13.2

The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

13.3

To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

13.4

The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

Call on Shares

14.1

Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

14.2

A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

14.3

The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

14.4

If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

14.5

An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

K-10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

14.6

The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

14.7

The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

14.8

No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

Forfeiture of Shares

15.1

If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

15.2

If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

15.3

A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

15.4

A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

15.5

A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or Officer that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

15.6

The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

Transmission of Shares

16.1

If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder), or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

K-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

16.2

Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

16.3

A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles), the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

Class B Share Conversion

17.1

The rights attaching to all Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects, and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters (subject to the Variation of Rights of Shares Article) with the exception that the holder of a Class B Share shall have the Conversion Rights referred to in this Article.

17.2

Class B Shares shall automatically convert into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”): (a) at any time and from time to time at the option of the holders thereof, and (b) automatically on the day of the closing of a Business Combination.

17.3

Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional Class A Shares or any other Equity-linked Securities, are issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, all Class B Shares in issue shall automatically convert into Class A Shares at the time of the closing of a Business Combination at a ratio for which the Class B Shares shall convert into Class A Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the Class B Shares in issue agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20 per cent of the sum of all Class A Shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Article), including the total number of Class A Shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any Equity-linked Securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the Business Combination, excluding any Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, Officers or Directors upon conversion of working capital loans.

17.4

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the Class B Shares then in issue consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class in the manner provided in the Variation of Rights of Shares Article hereof.

K-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

17.5

The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share split, subdivision, exchange, capitalisation, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by reverse share split, share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class A Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the original filing of the Articles without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class B Shares in issue.

17.6

Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares pursuant to this Article. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the Class B Shares in issue shall be converted pursuant to this Article and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Shares in issue at the time of conversion.

17.7

References in this Article to “converted”, “conversion” or “exchange” shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.

17.8

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, in no event may any Class B Share convert into Class A Shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.

If, prior to a Business Combination, a notice is issued in respect of a general meeting and the Directors, in their absolute discretion, consider that it is impractical or undesirable for any reason to hold that general meeting at the place, the day and the hour specified in the notice calling such general meeting, the Directors may postpone the general meeting to another place, day and/or hour provided that notice of the place, the day and the hour of the rearranged general meeting is promptly given to all Members.

23.7

A Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed.

An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.

24.5

Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

Corporate Members

25.1

Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of such Shares held by the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)).

31.9

A Director may be represented at any meetings of the board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by him. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director.

33.5

The Company may have for use in any place or places outside the Cayman Islands a duplicate Seal or Seals each of which shall be a facsimile of the common Seal of the Company and, if the Directors so determine, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used.

38.3

A Director or Officer, representative or attorney of the Company may without further authority of the Directors affix the Seal over his signature alone to any document of the Company required to be authenticated by him under seal or to be filed with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere wheresoever.

Dividends, Distributions and Reserve

39.1

Subject to the Statute and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to

K-21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any Shares, the Directors may resolve to pay Dividends and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Directors resolve to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend. No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by law.

39.2

Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.

39.3

The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

39.4

The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.

39.5

Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

39.6

The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.

39.7

Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

39.8

No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

39.9

Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

Capitalisation

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have

K-22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

Books of Account

41.1

The Directors shall cause proper books of account (including, where applicable, material underlying documentation including contracts and invoices) to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

41.2

The Directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

41.3

The Directors may cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law.

Audit

42.1

The Directors may appoint an Auditor of the Company who shall hold office on such terms as the Directors determine.

42.2

Without prejudice to the freedom of the Directors to establish any other committee, if the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, and if required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Directors shall establish and maintain an Audit Committee as a committee of the Directors and shall adopt a formal written Audit Committee charter and review and assess the adequacy of the formal written charter on an annual basis. The composition and responsibilities of the Audit Committee shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law.

42.3

If the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Company shall conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis and shall utilise the Audit Committee for the review and approval of potential conflicts of interest.

42.4

The remuneration of the Auditor shall be fixed by the Audit Committee (if one exists).

42.5

If the office of Auditor becomes vacant by resignation or death of the Auditor, or by his becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness or other disability at a time when his services are required, the Directors shall fill the vacancy and determine the remuneration of such Auditor.

K-23

TABLE OF CONTENTS

42.6

Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and Officers such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.

42.7

Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members.

43.1

Notices shall be in writing and may be given by the Company to any Member either personally or by sending it by courier, post, cable, telex, fax or e-mail to him or to his address as shown in the Register of Members (or where the notice is given by e-mail by sending it to the e-mail address provided by such Member). Notice may also be served by Electronic Communication in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or by placing it on the Company’s Website.

43.2

Where a notice is sent by:

(b)

43.3

A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under the Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

43.4

Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every holder of Shares carrying an entitlement to receive such notice on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a

K-24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Member where the Member but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

Winding Up

44.1

If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:

(a)

if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

(b)

if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

44.2

If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the approval of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other approval required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like approval, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

Indemnity and Insurance

45.1

Every Director and Officer (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former Officer (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

45.2

The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

K-25

TABLE OF CONTENTS

45.3

The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or Officer against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

Financial Year

Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31st December in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1st January in each year.

Transfer by Way of Continuation

If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it shall, subject to the provisions of the Statute and with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to register by way of continuation as a body corporate under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands and to be deregistered in the Cayman Islands.

Mergers and Consolidations

The Company shall have the power to merge or consolidate with one or more other constituent companies (as defined in the Statute) upon such terms as the Directors may determine and (to the extent required by the Statute) with the approval of a Special Resolution.

Business Combination

49.1

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles, this Article shall apply during the period commencing upon the adoption of the Articles and terminating upon the first to occur of the consummation of a Business Combination and the full distribution of the Trust Account pursuant to this Article. In the event of a conflict between this Article and any other Articles, the provisions of this Article shall prevail.

49.2

Prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall either:

(a)

submit such Business Combination to its Members for approval; or

(b)

provide Members with the opportunity to have their Shares repurchased by means of a tender offer for a per-Share repurchase price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes paid or payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued Public Shares, provided that the Company shall not repurchase Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such repurchases.

49.3

If the Company initiates any tender offer in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act in connection with a proposed Business Combination, it shall file tender offer documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to completing such Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about such Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. If, alternatively, the Company holds general meeting to approve a proposed Business Combination, the Company will conduct any redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and file proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

49.4

At a general meeting called for the purposes of approving a Business Combination pursuant to this Article, in the event that such Business Combination is approved by Ordinary Resolution, the Company shall be authorised to consummate such Business Combination, provided that the Company shall not consummate such Business Combination unless the Company has net tangible

K-26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

assets of at least US$5,000,001 following the redemptions described below, or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to, such Business Combination.

49.5

Any Member holding Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director may, in connection with any vote on a Business Combination, elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash in accordance with any applicable requirements provided for in the related proxy materials (the “IPO Redemption”), provided that no such Member acting together with any Affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purposes of acquiring, holding, or disposing of Shares may exercise this redemption right with respect to more than 15 per cent of the Public Shares in the aggregate without the prior consent of the Company. If so demanded, the Company shall pay any such redeeming Member, regardless of whether he votes on such proposed Business Combination, and if he does vote, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed Business Combination, a per-Share redemption price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then issued Public Shares (such redemption price being referred to herein as the “Redemption Price”). The Company shall not redeem Public Shares that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such redemptions(the “Redemption Limitation”).

49.6

A Member may not withdraw a Redemption Notice following the deadline for such Redemption Notice unless the Directors determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part).

49.7

In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by 24 months from the consummation of the IPO, or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with the Articles, the Company shall:

(a)

cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;

(b)

as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the holders of Public Shares as Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and

(c)

as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve,

subject in each case, to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of Applicable Law.

49.8

In the event that any amendment is made to the Articles:

(a)

to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or redeem 100 per cent of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the consummation of the IPO; or

(b)

with respect to any other provision relating to Members’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity,

the Company shall provide the holders of Public Shares with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval of any such amendment at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously

K-27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. The Company’s ability to provide such redemption in this Article is subject to the Redemption Limitation.

49.9

A holder of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of an IPO Redemption, a repurchase of Shares by means of a tender offer pursuant to this Article, or a distribution of the Trust Account pursuant to this Article. In no other circumstance shall a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account.

49.10

After the issue of Public Shares, and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to:

(a)

receive funds from the Trust Account; or

(b)

vote as a class with Public Shares on a Business Combination.

49.11

The uninterested Independent Directors shall approve any transaction or transactions between the Company and any of the following parties:

(a)

any Member owning an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives such Member a significant influence over the Company; and

(b)

any Director or Officer and any Affiliate of such Director or Officer.

49.12

A Director may vote in respect of a Business Combination in which such Director has a conflict of interest with respect to the evaluation of such Business Combination. Such Director must disclose such interest or conflict to the other Directors.

49.13

As long as the Company’s securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company must complete the Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80 per cent of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of signing the agreement to enter into the Business Combination. A Business Combination must not be effectuated solely with another blank cheque company or a similar company with nominal operations

49.14

The Company may enter into a Business Combination with a target business that is Affiliated with the Sponsor, a Founder, a Director or an Officer. In the event the Company seeks to complete a Business Combination with a target that is Affiliated with the Sponsor, a Founder, a Director or an Officer, the Company, or a committee of Independent Directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of the United States Financial Industry Regulatory Authority of from an independent accounting firm that such a Business Combination is fair to the Company from a financial point of view.

Business Opportunities

50.1

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no individual serving as a Director or an Officer (“Management”) shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for Management, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Management shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, Director and/or Officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

50.2

Except as provided elsewhere in this Article, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and Management, about which a Director and/or Officer who is also a member of Management acquires knowledge.

50.3

To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Article to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Aspirational’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provided for indemnification of Aspirational’s officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

Aspirational has entered into agreements with Aspirational’s officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in Aspirational’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Aspirational has purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures Aspirational’s officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against Aspirational’s obligations to indemnify Aspirational’s officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Aspirational has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; and

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, will be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such

TABLE OF CONTENTS

indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
