Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 10, 2024, Volato Group, Inc. (the "Company") received notice from the Honda Aircraft Company LLC ("Honda Aircraft"), that the Fleet Purchase Agreement, dated May 5, 2023 (the "FPA") would be terminated, effective immediately. As previously disclosed, the FPA covered the acquisition from Honda Aircraft of twenty-three (23) HondaJet HA-420 aircraft for a total aggregate purchase price of $161.6 million for delivery between the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023 and the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the FPA, Honda Aircraft will retain the deposits that have been previously paid by the Company and the Company has to enter into individual purchase agreements for each aircraft for which a deposit had previously been paid.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing rule or Standard; Transfer of listing.

On September 9, 2024, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of NYSE Regulation (the “Staff”) of the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE” or “NYSE American”) indicating that the Staff has determined that the Company’s warrants, each warrant exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the “Warrants”), are no longer suitable for listing on the NYSE American based on “abnormally low” price levels, pursuant to Section 1001 of the NYSE American Company Guide. As a result, the Staff has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Warrants from the NYSE American.
The Company has a right to a review of this determination by the Listing Qualifications Panel of the NYSE. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Warrants upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the Staff’s decision. The Company does not currently intend to appeal the determination.

Effective September 10, trading in the Warrants on the NYSE American has been suspended while trading in the Company’s Class A Common Stock will continue on the NYSE American. The Warrants may be traded under the trading symbol "SOARW" on the pink sheets or any other available market.
