CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2024 / FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (TSXV:FLY)(OTCQX:FLYLF) (the "Company" or "FLYHT") is pleased to announce that the Company has executed an unsecured debenture in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the "Debenture") with Pinnacle Island II LP (the "Lender"), an unrelated third-party lender. The additional capital is expected to provide significant financial resources for the Company to pursue additional Supplemental Type (STC) certifications and to accelerate the commercialization efforts of its 5G aviation and weather solutions product lines.

"This loan arrangement raises significant capital for FLYHT to support our growth plans," said Kent Jacobs, President and Interim CEO. "Our team is pursuing a number of attractive large deals for Edge, Edge+, FLYHT-WVSS-II hardware and recurring software services. We will use the incremental capital to move swiftly to seize these opportunities and support their working capital requirements, while continuing to adhere to the strict cost discipline that has been producing year-over-year decreases in G&A across the rest of the organization. We appreciate the confidence in our future, and in particular the potential value of our AFIRS Edge product line."

The Debenture will carry a term of three years, with annual interest of 12% payable on a quarterly basis. Proceeds will be discounted by 5% (with such discount fee for the benefit of the Lender). On the closing date of the Debenture, as additional consideration for the loan, the Company will issue 2,000,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"), with each Warrant exercisable for a period of three (3) years into one common share for the exercise price equal to the higher of: (i) a 12.5% premium to the 20-day volume weighted average price at issuance on the Debenture closing date; or (ii) the closing price of the Company's common shares on the trading day immediately preceding the Debenture closing date.

Paradigm Capital Inc. acted as a financial advisor to FLYHT on this transaction and was paid a cash commission equal to 4% of the total loan amount.

The delivery of the Debenture and the issuance of the Warrants are subject to the final approval and acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. It is anticipated that closing will occur as soon as practical after the TSX Venture Exchange has approved the Debenture and its terms.
