Insights

Sky Harbour's successful equity raise demonstrates strong investor confidence, securing $37.58 million at $9.50 per share with potential for an additional $37.58 million in December 2024. The upsized PIPE financing, combined with the planned $150 million private activity debt financing, creates a substantial $240 million war chest for expansion. This funding will support development of 6-7 new airport campuses, adding 800,000 rentable square feet to their existing million square feet portfolio.

The participation of existing investors like Altai Capital and Raga Partners, along with board member involvement through Boulderado, signals strong internal conviction in the company's growth strategy. The company's projection to expand to 22 airports by 2025 and transition to self-funded growth through cash flow by 2026 presents a clear path to scalability. The 60% increase in rentable space positions Sky Harbour to capitalize on the growing demand for private aviation infrastructure.

WEST HARRISON, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sky Harbour Group Corporation (NYSE American: SKYH, SKYH WS) (“SHG” or the “Company”), an aviation infrastructure company building the first nationwide network of Home-Basing campuses for business aircraft, announced it has completed the initial closing of its previously announced equity raise. The company issued 3,955,790 PIPE shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $37.58 million, on a net purchase price of $9.50 per share. This constitutes an increase of $5.7 million or 603,684 PIPE shares as the Company accepted additional subscriptions of existing and new long-term investors. A second closing of up to an additional $37.58 million is scheduled for December 20, 2024, with the final amount subject to the exercise of the rights granted as part of this initial closing.

The financing includes participation from investors in the Company’s November 2023 PIPE, including affiliates of Altai Capital and Raga Partners, as well as Boulderado, the family office of SHG Board member Alex Rozek.

The Company plans to leverage the potential proceeds of this PIPE financing from both closings, and other cash on hand, with the previously announced incremental $150 million in private activity debt financing, the latter expected to be issued in the first semester of 2025. The combined proceeds of approximately $240 million is intended to support the phase 1 development projects at approximately 6-7 new airport campuses (or approximately 800,000 additional rentable square feet), beyond the approximately one million rentable square feet already funded. As recently announced, the Company is forecasting to announce another eight ground leases by the end of 2025, bringing the portfolio to 22 airports.

Tal Keinan, Sky Harbour CEO, commented: “This capital funds Sky Harbour’s construction program through 2026, when cash flow will serve as an increasingly significant portion of the company’s development equity needs. We are very pleased that investors who have already contributed to Sky Harbour’s growth are increasing their positions. We welcome our new investors, and expect their contributions to further steepen our trajectory.”

Sky Harbour is also confirmed to present at the 2024 LD Micro Main Event XVII, which is being held October 28th-30th, at the Luxe Sunset Blvd Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. Sky Harbour's management team is scheduled to present on Tuesday October 29th at 3:30-3:55 pm Pacific Time (PT).
