*Director Appointment* 

As an update to the previously announced chief executive officer succession plan of Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (the "Company"), on June 12, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), upon the recommendation of its Corporate Governance Committee, increased the size of the Board to seven and appointed Matthew J. Koscal as a director, effective June 15, 2026, to serve until the Company's 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and until the election and qualification of his successor, or earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. The commencement of Mr. Koscal's Board term coincides with his assumption of the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company's definitive [proxy statement](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/../../../ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/810332/000114036126014079/ny20066230x1_def14a.htm) for its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, dated April 9, 2026 (the "Proxy Statement"), contains further information regarding Mr. Koscal, including his biographical information, and such information is incorporated by reference herein. Additionally, Mr. Koscal was not appointed as a director pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any other person, and there are no transactions involving Mr. Koscal that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. As an executive director, Mr. Koscal will not receive separate compensation for his service on the Board, but the Company's Compensation Committee has approved revised compensatory terms in connection with his promotion, which are described in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed by the Company concurrently with this Current Report on Form 8-K.

*Compensation Updates for Named Executive Officers* 

<u>Chief Executive Officer Transition</u> 

On June 15, 2026, concurrent with Mr. Koscal's succession to the Chief Executive Officer role, David Grizzle, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer for a transitional period that commenced on July 1, 2025, resumed his position as non-executive Chairman of the Board and rejoined the Corporate Governance Committee. To support Mr. Grizzle's status as an independent director of the Board subsequent to cessation in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer, on June 11, 2026, the Compensation Committee approved the acceleration of payouts of Mr. Grizzle's compensatory arrangements related to his service as Chief Executive Officer, with each such action (including acceleration of vesting of equity awards) occurring as of June 15, 2026, notwithstanding the treatment of such compensatory arrangements as provided in Mr. Grizzle's Transitional CEO Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2025. The [Proxy Statement](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/../../../ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/810332/000114036126014079/ny20066230x1_def14a.htm) includes a summary of the terms of Mr. Grizzle's compensation arrangements, prior to modification, and such information is incorporated by reference herein, to the extent required. In exchange for the receipt of an aggregate cash payout of $3,695,156 and 311,802 shares of the Company's common stock (prior to any reduction for shares withheld to satisfy tax payments), Mr. Grizzle executed a release agreement in the form attached to his Transitional CEO Agreement.

The details of Mr. Grizzle's payout are set forth below:

• Accelerated base salary for the period from June 16, 2026 to June 30, 2027: $685,914

• Accelerated annual cash bonus for the period from January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027: $1,616,189

• Acceleration of long-term incentive awards:

• 2025 awards: $582,387 and 183,297 shares

• 2026 performance stock units: 128,505 shares

• 2027 awards (based on projected amount): $796,786

• Payout in lieu of twelve months of health insurance: $13,880

------

Furthermore, in light of the foregoing, Mr. Grizzle will not receive additional compensation as an independent director for his service through the Company's 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, subject to the Board's customary annual review of director compensation for 2027.

<u>Executive Vice President Promotion</u> 

In connection with the promotion of each of Mr. Joseph P. Allman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Paul K. Kinstedt, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, to the role of Executive Vice President, effective as of June 15, 2026, the Compensation Committee granted an additional equity award to each executive, with aggregate value of $500,000.

The awards granted to each of Messrs. Allman and Kinstedt consist of:

• 12,557 restricted stock units ("RSUs") with an aggregate value of $250,000, based on the volume-weighted average closing price of one share of common stock for the 30 trading days ended on June 15, 2026, rounded up to the nearest unit. The RSUs will vest in substantially equal annual increments on March 20, 2027, March 20, 2028 and March 20, 2029, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The material terms of the RSUs are set forth in the Form of Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice and Agreement under the Republic Airways Holdings Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

• 12,557 performance stock units ("PSUs") (at "target" performance") with an aggregate value of $250,000, based on the volume-weighted average closing price of one share of common stock for the 30 trading days ending on June 15, 2026, rounded up to the nearest unit. "Controllable Completion Factor" ("CCF") over the three-year period commencing on January 1, 2026 will determine the number of PSUs that vest, as certified subsequent to completion of the measurement period as set forth below. CCF means the percentage of completed scheduled flights over which the Company had control, excluding cancelled flights due to uncontrollable factors such as weather. The material terms of the PSUs are set forth in the Form of Performance Stock Unit Grant Notice and Agreement under the Republic Airways Holdings Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, filed as [Exhibit 10.2](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/810332/000162828026029330/rjet-formofemployeepsuawar.htm) to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and incorporated by reference.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units provided in the Grant Notice (with each Restricted Stock Unit representing an unfunded, unsecured right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock). The Company may make one or more additional grants of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement by providing the Participant with a new grant notice, which may also include any terms and conditions differing from this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to the extent provided therein. The Company reserves all rights with respect to the granting of additional Restricted Stock Units hereunder and makes no implied promise to grant additional Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Vesting**. Subject to the conditions contained herein and in the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest as provided in the Grant Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Settlement of Restricted Stock Units**. Subject to any election by the Committee pursuant to Section 8(d)(ii) of the Plan, the Company will deliver to the Participant, without charge, as soon as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within two and one-half (2.5) months) following the applicable vesting date, one (1) share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit (as adjusted under the Plan, as applicable) which becomes vested hereunder and such vested Restricted Stock Unit shall be cancelled upon such delivery. The Company shall either (a) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Participant a certificate or certificates therefor, registered in the Participant's name or (b) cause such shares of Common Stock to be credited to the Participant's account at the third party plan administrator. Notwithstanding anything in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock as contemplated by this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement unless and until such issuance or transfer complies with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares of Common Stock are listed for trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Treatment of Restricted Stock Units Upon Termination**. Subject to the Grant Notice, the provisions of Section 8(c)(ii) of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof; *provided*, *however*, that in the case of a Termination as a result of the Participant's death, unvested Restricted Stock Units will remain outstanding for one (1) month following the date of such Termination, but shall be eligible to vest only to the extent the Committee determines, during such one (1) month period, to accelerate the vesting of such unvested Restricted Stock Units, and if the Committee fails to make such determination, the unvested Restricted Stock Units will terminate without further action at the end of such period.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Company; Participant**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Whenever the word "Participant" is used in any provision of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the Restricted Stock Units may be transferred in accordance with Section 12(b) of the Plan, the word "Participant" shall be deemed to include such person or persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Non-Transferability**. The Restricted Stock Units are not transferable by the Participant except to Permitted Transferees in accordance with Section 12(b) of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, no assignment or transfer of the Restricted Stock Units, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Restricted Stock Units shall terminate and become of no further effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Rights as Shareholder**. Subject to any dividend equivalent payments to be provided to the Participant in accordance with the Grant Notice and Section 12(c)(iii) of the Plan, the Participant or a Permitted Transferee of the Restricted Stock Units shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any share of Common Stock underlying a Restricted Stock Unit unless and until the Participant shall have become the holder of record or the beneficial owner of such share of Common Stock, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of such share of Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date upon which the Participant shall become the holder of record or the beneficial owner thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Tax Withholding**. The provisions of Section 12(d) of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Notwithstanding the above, all notices and/or communications between the Participant and any third-party plan administrator shall be mailed, delivered, transmitted, or sent in accordance with the procedures established by such third-party plan administrator and communicated to the Participant from time to time.

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 11 of the Plan, any waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification of any of the terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by the parties hereto; *provided*, *however*, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification is consented to on the Company's behalf by the Committee. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Clawback/Forfeiture**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Plan, if the Participant has engaged in or engages in any Detrimental Activity, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, take actions permitted under the Plan, including: (a) canceling the Restricted Stock Units or (b) requiring that the Participant forfeit any gain realized on the disposition of any shares of Common Stock received upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and repay such gain to the Company within thirty (30) days following written notice from the Company. In addition, if the Participant receives any amount in excess of what the Participant should have received under the terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations, or other administrative error), then the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, all Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Governing Law**.
