Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Mudrick Capital and affiliated funds report a significant stake in Vertical Aerospace Ltd., holding 101,021,846 ordinary shares and equivalents, representing 58.4% of the class as of March 30, 2026. This total includes common shares, Convertible Senior Secured Notes and multiple warrant series.

Vertical Aerospace announced a $50 million capital raise through an at-the-market share issuance program on March 30, 2026, which reduced the Mudrick group’s beneficial ownership by more than 1%. On the same date, Mudrick Capital Management agreed in principle to extend existing 10.00% / 12.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes from December 2028 to December 2030 and to provide a facility to purchase up to an additional $50 million of new convertible secured notes over 12 months, subject to definitive agreements and conditions.

Insights

Mudrick remains a controlling holder while backing a $50M equity and $50M debt financing package.

Mudrick Capital and affiliated funds disclose beneficial ownership of 101,021,846 Vertical Aerospace ordinary shares and equivalents, or 58.4% of the class as of March 30, 2026. This indicates continued control-level exposure combining equity, convertible notes and warrants.

Vertical Aerospace completed a $50 million at-the-market equity raise, which diluted Mudrick’s stake by more than 1%. On the same date, Mudrick agreed in principle to extend existing 10.00% / 12.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes from December 2028 to December 2030 and to provide a facility for up to $50 million of new convertible secured notes on the same terms.

These steps combine additional equity capital with longer-dated, high-coupon convertible debt capacity from the same sponsor group. Actual deployment of the new note facility and final terms depend on execution of definitive agreements and meeting stated conditions, so subsequent disclosures will clarify how much of this financing pathway is utilized.

Convertible Senior Secured Notes financial
"10.00% / 12.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes held by certain of the Reporting Persons"
A convertible senior secured note is a loan that a company issues which is backed by specific assets and gets paid before other debts if the company fails, while also giving lenders the option to convert the loan into the company’s shares. For investors this matters because the security and senior status reduce credit risk like a mortgage on a house, but the conversion feature can dilute existing shareholders and tie returns to the stock’s future performance.
at the market share issuance program financial
"issued under the Issuer's "at the market" share issuance program pursuant to the open market sale agreement"
beneficial ownership financial
"the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership decreased by more than 1% of the Issuer's outstanding equity securities"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
Rule 13d-5 regulatory
"may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act"
Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i) regulatory
"enter into agreements with a broker intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i) under the Act"
Convertible secured notes financial
"purchase up to $50 million of new additional convertible secured notes subject to certain conditions"
A convertible secured note is a loan a company takes that is backed by specific assets as collateral and carries an option for the lender to convert the debt into company shares instead of getting repaid in cash. For investors this matters because the collateral lowers the lender’s risk like a pledged asset on a loan, while the conversion feature can dilute existing owners and change future ownership and valuation, so it affects both downside protection and potential share value.
