LAS VEGAS, NV, June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jet.AI Inc. (NASDAQ: JTAI) (the “Company” or “Jet.AI”), an emerging provider of high-performance GPU infrastructure and AI cloud services, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a distribution of the shares of Jet.AI SpinCo, Inc. (“SpinCo”) and established June 15, 2026 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to participate in the distribution in connection with the proposed transaction with flyExclusive, Inc. (“flyExclusive”).
Stockholders of record of Jet.AI common stock as of June 15, 2026 will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all outstanding shares of SpinCo immediately prior to the completion of the merger between FlyX Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive, and SpinCo. Delivery of the SpinCo shares will occur immediately prior to the merger. Upon completion of the merger, the SpinCo shares distributed to Jet.AI stockholders will convert into the right to receive shares of flyExclusive Class A common stock, subject to the terms of the merger agreement.
The completion of the distribution and merger remains subject to stockholder approval and the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
Vote “FOR” the Transaction
As this transaction requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Jet.AI common stock entitled to vote on this proposal, not voting has the same exact effect as voting “AGAINST” the deal.
The Company believes voting “FOR” the transaction offers compelling upside for stockholders and the potential to enhance long-term stockholder value. Upon the successful closure of the transaction, eligible stockholders will receive shares of flyExclusive, providing continued equity exposure to a vertically integrated U.S. private aviation business. At the same time, stockholders will retain 100% of their existing Jet.AI shares, preserving full exposure in Jet.AI’s AI infrastructure and data center business.
The transaction is intended to position Jet.AI to more efficiently dedicate its time, capital, and resources exclusively to advancing its growing AI infrastructure and data center strategy, while removing the overhang of the aviation assets and enabling stockholders to benefit from exposure to two distinct business opportunities.
Further supporting the transaction, Glass, Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”), a leading independent provider of global proxy research and corporate governance advisory services, has recommended that Jet.AI stockholders vote “FOR” the proposed transaction.

This communication is for information purposes only and is not intended to and does not constitute, or form part of, an offer, invitation or the solicitation of an offer or invitation to purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of any securities, or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction, pursuant to the proposed transactions or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the products and services offered by Jet.AI and the markets in which it operates, Jet.AI’s projected future results, and Jet.AI’s perception of market conditions, including the expected timing of the closing and the future business strategy of Jet.AI. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance or future financial condition. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our Company, our industry, our beliefs and our assumptions. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results, including the failure to obtain stockholder approval, the failure to satisfy closing conditions, and broader market conditions. As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Jet.AI assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as provided by law.
