Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 4, 2024, Volato Group, Inc. (the "Company”) entered into a Settlement Agreement and Stipulation (the "Settlement Agreement”) with Sunpeak Holdings Corporation ("SHC”), which became effective on November 6, 2024, to settle outstanding claims owed to SHC. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, SHC has agreed to purchase certain outstanding payables between the Company and designated vendors of the Company totaling approximately $4.7 million (the "Claims”) and will exchange such Claims for a settlement amount payable in shares of common stock of the Company (the "Settlement Shares”). The Settlement Shares shall be priced at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 4, 2024, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement. The Company shall also issue to SHC, on the issuance date(s), 100,000 freely trading shares pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act in accordance herewith as a Settlement Fee (the "Settlement Fee Shares”).
In the event the Company’s market price decreases to or below $0.05 per share or if at any time, or if at any time, the thirty day average volume of the trading of the Company’s Common Stock drops to at or below 50,000 shares per day, then either the Company or SHC may declare a default. SHC has agreed that it will not become the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of common stock of the Company at any point in time. The Settlement Agreement and the issuance of the Settlement Shares was approved by the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit Court for Manatee County, Florida (the "Court”) on November 6, 2024, 2024 (Case No. 2024 CA 1733). The Court entered an Order confirming the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement and the issuance of the Settlement Shares.
The issuance of the Settlement Shares and the Settlement Fee Shares is being made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which exempts from registration any securities issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities, claims or property interests where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved by a court of competent jurisdiction after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange have the right to appear.
