Joint Venture with XTI Aircraft

Effective May 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Joint Venture with XTI Aircraft Company (“XTI”), named Eco-Aero, LLC, with the purpose of completing the preliminary design review (“PDR”) of XTI’s eVTOL fixed wing aircraft. XTI and the Company each own 50 percent of the XTI JV, and it is managed by a management committee consisting of five members, three appointed by the Company and two by XTI.

On May 31, 2023, the joint venture was terminated according to an Acceleration Event, which was twenty-four (24) months from the start of the joint venture.  On June 5, 2023, after suspecting that the obligations under the Letter Agreement were possibly being evaded, the Company transmitted a formal demand letter to XTI requesting compliance with the provisions outlined in the Letter Agreement, and in accordance with section 8 of the
