Insights

The $2 million share repurchase program signals management's confidence in the company's valuation and financial position. The decision to withdraw the S-1 registration statement and cancel a planned offering demonstrates strategic flexibility and consideration for shareholder value. This move, combined with the recent warrant exchange, indicates a simplified capital structure and improved financial outlook.

The buyback represents approximately 23% of the company's market cap, which is significant. The extended timeline through December 2025 provides flexibility in execution. The withdrawal of dilutive financing plans and focus on share repurchases should support stock price stability. The expected compliance with NASDAQ's listing requirements without additional financing removes a key regulatory overhang.

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jet.AI Inc. (Jet.AI” or the Company”) (NASDAQ: JTAI), an innovative private aviation and artificial intelligence company, announced today that its board of directors has approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $2 million of its common stock through December 31st, 2025.

Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may buy back its common stock from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and federal and state laws governing such transactions, through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, purchases through 10b5-1 trading plans, or by any combination of such methods. The repurchase program does not oblige the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, discontinued, or suspended at any time.

In connection with this, Jet.AI has decided to withdraw a S-1 registration statement (SEC File No. 333-281911) for a prospective offering that the Company was previously pursuing. After careful consideration, the Company determined that the offering terms contemplated within that S-1 were no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and are not aligned with the Company’s current strategic objectives and growth plans. Jet.AI expects to return to compliance with the NASDAQ’s listing rule related to stockholders’ equity in the absence of the offering contemplated by theS-1 ,and further expects to file a moot notice with Nasdaq in advance of the November 26th deadline the exchange imposed on the Company to regain compliance.

“This share repurchase program allows the company to buy shares when we view them as undervalued – particularly in periods of market dislocation,” said Jet.AI Chairman and CEO Mike Winston. “Additionally, because we recently succeeded in exchanging our publicly held warrants for stock to simplify the capital structure - we’re glad to pull this previously contemplated warrant heavy transaction, which is no longer necessary given the company’s position.”
