**Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

**Amendment** 

As previously disclosed, on July 28, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with Volato Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and M2i Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation specializing in the development and execution of a complete global value supply chain for critical minerals ("M2i Global"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into M2i Global, with M2i Global surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (together with all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "M2i Global Merger"). The M2i Global Merger is subject to approval by the Company's stockholders and other customary closing conditions.

On January 19, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Amendment") with M2i Global, Inc. The Amendment modifies the End Date of the Agreement, extending the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to March 31, 2026, representing a measured and prudent adjustment that enhances the probability of successful completion while maintaining the substantive terms and mutual protections of the original Merger Agreement. The extension reflects sound business judgment and demonstrates both parties' ongoing commitment to the strategic transaction.

This communication is restricted by law; it is not intended for distribution to, or use by any person in, any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulation.

RECITALS 1. Volato, Merger Sub, and Company are parties to the Agreement; and 2. Volato Merger Sub, and Company desire to modify the Agreement in certain respects as described herein. AGREEMENT ARTICLE I AMENDMENTS 1.1 Section 10.1(b Termination).

ARTICLE II MISCELLANEOUS 2.1 Effect of Amendment. (a) Except as set forth in Article I above, nothing herein or arising in connection with or relating to any discussion regarding these matters shall constitute a waiver of any rights under the Agreement. (b) Except as amended in Article I above, the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect, and this Amendment shall be governed by and subject to the terms of the Agreement, as amended hereby. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all references in this Amendment to "Section," "Subsection," "Article," "Exhibit," shall be deemed to be references to a section, subsection, article, exhibit or annex to the Agreement.

any rights hereunder, and no partial or single exercise thereof, will constitute a waiver of such rights or of any other rights hereunder. 2.3 Governing Law. This Amendment is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of Nevada to the rights and duties of the parties. 2.4 Severability.
