| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On September 11, 2023, Jet.AI Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a binding term sheet (“Bridge Agreement”) with eight investors to provide the Company $500,000 of short-term bridge financing pending its receipt of funds from its other existing financing arrangements. During the month of September, the Company had engaged in discussions with numerous third parties to secure short-term bridge funding but was not offered terms it found acceptable. Rather, certain related parties of the Company and other parties agreed to provide the Company this financing on substantially better material terms than it had received from unaffiliated third parties.
The Bridge Agreement was entered into with, and funding was provided by, Michael Winston, the Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer, Wrendon Timothy, a member of the Board and all three Committees of the Board, William Yankus, a member of the Board and two of its Committees, and Oxbridge RE Holdings Limited, a significant shareholder of the Company for which Mr. Timothy serves as a director and officer, as well as the four other investors named in the Bridge Agreement attached hereto.
Given Mr. Winston’s dual role as a participant in the negotiations with third parties and his participation in the bridge financing itself, for avoidance of doubt, he has agreed to waive any right to receive accrued interest on the principal amount of his Note, as well as any redemption premium or any increase in the principal amount of his Note in connection with an event of default.
The Company’s Audit Committee pursuant to its Charter and the full Board, including a majority of disinterested directors, unanimously approved the Agreement, in each case finding that the Agreement was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
The Bridge Agreement provides for the issuance of Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $625,000, reflecting a 20% original issue discount. The Notes bear interest at 5% per annum and mature on March 11, 2024. The Company is required to redeem the Notes with 100% of the proceeds of any equity or debt financing at a redemption premium of 110% of the principal amount of the Notes. The Company anticipates redeeming the Notes in full with proceeds expected to be received over the next several months from existing financing arrangements.
An event of default under the Notes includes failing to redeem the Notes as provided above and other typical bankruptcy events of the Company. In an event of default, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes will increase by 120%, and each investor may convert its Note into shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion price set forth in the Bridge Agreement attached hereto, with registration rights associated with those shares.
A copy of the Bridge Agreement and the Waiver are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, and the foregoing descriptions of the Bridge Agreement and the Waiver are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this prospectus, regarding the proposed the Company’s future financial performance and the Company’s strategy, expansion plans, future operations, future operating results, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company that may cause the Company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
