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

**<u>Merger Agreement</u>**

On July 28, 2025, Volato Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Volato", "we", "us", "our" or 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 Volato ("Merger Sub"), and M2i Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("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 Volato (together with all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Merger"). The Merger is subject to approval by the Company's stockholders and other customary closing conditions. After careful consideration, each of the Volato and M2i Global boards of directors have approved the Merger Agreement and have determined that it is advisable to consummate the Merger and related transactions.

It is expected that, at the closing, (i) Matthew Liotta will resign as Chief Executive Officer of Volato and be appointed as president of the aviation technology business lines of Volato, and (ii) Major General (Ret.) Alberto Rosende will become the Chief Executive Officer of Volato. Mark Heinen will remain as Chief Financial Officer of Volato.

***Merger Consideration***

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of M2i Global ("M2i Global Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of Volato (the "Volato Common Stock") equal to 85% of the Common Stock on an as converted and fully diluted basis at the Effective Time, excluding shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding Volato warrants, and as may be adjusted in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Consideration"). The actual amount of the Merger Consideration will be determined at the Effective Time and is subject to change based on the fully diluted number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

The Company's stockholders will continue to own and hold their existing shares of the Company's common stock as of closing of the Merger.

***Representations and Warranties***

The Merger Agreement contains a number of customary representations and warranties made by each of the Company, Merger Sub, and M2i Global as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specified dates. Certain of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality and/or information provided in the disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants of each party set forth in the Merger Agreement have been made only for purposes of, and were and are solely for the benefit of the parties to, the Merger Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement. In addition, such representations and warranties were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement, or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties' public disclosures.

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement terminate as of, and do not survive, the closing.

***Covenants of the Parties***

 ****

The Merger Agreement contains a number of customary covenants made by each of the Company, Merger Sub, and M2i Global. Each of the parties has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Volato will distribute a proxy statement to seek the approval of its stockholders to, among other things, (i) adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger; (ii) appoint members of the post-closing board of directors; and (iii) approve such other matters as the parties mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Merger.

The parties agreed that the post-closing board of directors will consist of seven directors, comprised of (i) six directors designated prior to the closing by M2i Global, and (ii) Matthew Liotta, who will be designated as Class I director on the post-closing board of directors.

***Preparation of the Registration Statement***

Volato agreed to, as promptly as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, in cooperation with the Company, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), a registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") to effect the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") of the shares of Volato Common Stock that will be issued as Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger. Volato agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable after filing, including by responding to comments of the SEC.

***Closing Conditions***

The consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the board of directors and the requisite stockholders of the Company and M2i Global, (ii) the absence of any law or order by any governmental entity in effect that seeks to enjoin, make illegal, delay or otherwise restrain or prohibits the consummation of the Merger, (iii) the approval of the listing of the combined company on the NYSE American LLC ("NYSE American"), (iv) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and the compliance by each party with the covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, (v) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to each of Volato and M2i Global from the date of the Merger Agreement until the closing, (vi) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (vii) Volato having net debt of not more than $10,000,000 at the closing, and (viii) delivery of certain certificates and opinions as agreed to between the parties under the Merger Agreement.

***Termination***

 ****

The Merger Agreement provides certain termination rights for both the Company and M2i Global, including if the closing has not occurred on or prior to January 15, 2026; provided, that this right to terminate the Merger Agreement shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to comply with its obligations under the Merger Agreement or any of the other transaction documents has been the primary cause of, or has primarily resulted in, the failure of the closing to occur on or prior to such date.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

**<u>Stockholder Support Agreement</u>**

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, each of the Company's officers and directors and certain other significant stockholders, who collectively hold approximately 12% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock, entered into a stockholder voting and support agreement (the "Stockholder Support Agreement"). The Stockholder Support Agreement provides that, among other things, each of the parties thereto has agreed to vote or cause to be voted all of the shares of Company's common stock owned by such stockholder in favor of, among other things, the Merger Agreement, at a special or annual meeting of the Company's stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Stockholder Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Stockholder Support Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

On July 29, 2025, the Company and M2i Global issued a joint press release announcing, among other things, the execution of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

**<u>Forward Looking Statements</u>**

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain statements that may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within the federal securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange. 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. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, and statements regarding the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "ongoing," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," 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 subject to a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These risks include risks relating to agreements with third parties; the possibility that the proposed transactions do not close when expected or at all; our ability to raise funding in the future, as needed, and the terms of such funding, including potential dilution caused thereby; our ability to continue as a going concern; our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the NYSE American LLC; the outcome of any current legal proceedings or future legal proceedings that may be instituted against us; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to our business plan; and those risks detailed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the SEC.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise that occur after that date, except as otherwise provided by law.

**<u>Additional Information and Where to Find It</u>**

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Volato intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement"), which will include a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a substitute for the Registration Statement, the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus or any other document that Volato or M2i Global has filed or will file with the SEC or send to its stockholders or investors in connection with the proposed Merger. This document does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed Merger and other matters and is not intended to form the basis for any investment decision or any other decision in respect of such matters.

BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, VOLATO'S STOCKHOLDERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED BY VOLATO WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED MERGER OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE THEREIN IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED MERGER BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGER AND THE PARTIES TO THE PROPOSED MERGER.

After the Registration Statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement will be mailed to stockholders of Volato as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed Merger. Additionally, Volato will file other relevant materials with the SEC in connection with the proposed Merger. Copies of the Registration Statement, the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus and all other relevant materials for the proposed Merger filed or that will be filed with the SEC may be obtained, when available, free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Volato's stockholders may also obtain copies of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, when available, without charge, by directing a request to Volato at 1954 Airport Road, Suite 124, Chamblee, GA 30341, or by telephone at (844) 399-8998.

**<u>Participants in the Solicitation of Proxies</u>**

Volato and M2i Global and certain of their respective directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from Volato's stockholders in connection with the proposed Merger. Volato's stockholders and other interested persons may obtain, without charge, more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the proposed Merger of Volato's directors and officers in Volato's filings with the SEC, including Volato's annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to Volato's stockholders in connection with the proposed Merger and a description of their direct and indirect interests will be included in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed Merger when it becomes available. Stockholders, potential investors and other interested persons should read the proxy statement/prospectus carefully before making any voting or investment decisions. You may obtain free copies of these documents from the sources indicated above.

**<u>No Offer or Solicitation</u>**

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 Merger or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. The proposed Merger is expected to be implemented solely pursuant to the legally binding definitive agreement which will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K by Volato, and which contains the material terms and conditions of the proposed Merger. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) No later than five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date, Volato will deliver to the Company a schedule (the "**Volato Net Debt Schedule**") setting forth, in reasonable detail, Volato's good faith, estimated calculation of Volato Net Debt (the "**Volato Net Debt Calculation**") as of as of 11:59 p.m. on the last Business Day prior to the Anticipated Closing Date (the "**Net Debt Determination Time**") prepared and certified by Volato's chief financial officer (or if there is no chief financial officer at such time, the principal financial and accounting officer for Volato). Volato shall make available to the Company (electronically to the greatest extent possible), as reasonably requested by the Company, the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Volato Net Debt Schedule and, if reasonably requested by the Company, Volato's accountants at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No later than three (3) Business Days after the Net Debt Determination Time (the last day of such period, the "**Response Date**"), the Company shall have the right to dispute any part of the Volato Net Debt Calculation by delivering a written notice to that effect to Volato (a "**Debt Dispute Notice**"). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail and to the extent known the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the Volato Net Debt Calculation and will be accompanied by reasonably detailed materials supporting the basis for such revisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If, on or prior to the Response Date, the Company notifies Volato in writing that it has no objections to the Volato Net Debt Calculation or, if on the Response Date, the Company fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in <u>Section 2.11 (b)</u>, then the Volato Net Debt Calculation as set forth in the Volato Net Debt Calculation shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Volato Net Debt Calculation at the Net Debt Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Company delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of Volato and the Company shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Volato Closing Maximum Debt, which agreed upon the Volato Closing Maximum Debt amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Volato Closing Maximum Debt at the Net Debt Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If Representatives of Volato and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Volato Closing Maximum Debt as of the Net Debt Determination Time pursuant to <u>Section 2.8(d)</u> within three (3) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as Volato and the Company may mutually agree upon), then any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Volato Closing Maximum Debt shall be referred to an independent auditor of recognized national standing jointly selected by Volato and the Company. If the parties are unable to select an independent auditor within five (5) days, then either Volato or the Company may thereafter request that the New York City Office of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association ("**AAA**") make such selection (either the independent auditor jointly selected by both parties or such independent auditor selected by the AAA, the "**Accounting Firm**"). Volato and the Company shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Volato Debt Schedule and the Dispute Notice, and Volato and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within five (5) Business Days of accepting its selection. Volato and the Company shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; *<u>provided, however</u>*, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of Volato and the Company. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Volato Closing Maximum Debt made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to each of Volato and the Company, shall be final and binding on Volato and the Company and shall (absent manifest error) be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Volato Closing Maximum Debt at the Net Debt Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. The Parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this <u>Section 2.11(e)</u>. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Volato and the Company in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Volato Closing Maximum Debt that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Volato Net Debt amount. If this <u>Section 2.11(e)</u> applies as to the determination of the Volato Closing Maximum Debt at the Net Debt Determination Time, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this <u>Section 2.11(e)</u>, the Parties shall not be required to determine Volato Closing Maximum Debt again even though the Closing may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either Volato and the Company may request a redetermination of Volato Closing Maximum Debt if the Closing Date is more than thirty (30) days after the Anticipated Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.12. <u>Further Action</u>. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized, and shall use their and its commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of the Company, in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Surviving Corporation and otherwise) to take such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.13. <u>Intended Tax Treatment</u>. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, (i) the Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder to which Volato and the Company are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes, and the Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as, a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3 for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code (collectively, the "**Intended Tax Treatment**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.14. <u>Withholding</u>. Each of the Exchange Agent, Volato and the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct or withhold from such consideration under applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.15. <u>Appraisal Rights</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the NRS (collectively, the "**Dissenting Shares**") shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration described in <u>Section 2.5</u> attributable to such Dissenting Shares. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the NRS, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the NRS. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under the NRS (whether occurring before, at or after the Effective Time) shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, attributable to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in <u>Sections 2.6</u> and <u>2.9.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company shall give Volato prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company and any material correspondence received by the Company in connection with such demands, and Volato shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with Volato's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands or agree to do any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Except as set forth on <u>Section 3.1(a)</u> of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company has no Subsidiaries and the Company does not own any capital stock or membership interests of, or any equity, ownership or profit sharing interest of any nature in, or controls directly or indirectly, any other Entity.

Any investigation conducted by either Volato or the Company pursuant to this <u>Section 5.3</u> shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the other Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this <u>Section 5.3</u>, no access or examination contemplated by this <u>Section 5.3</u> shall be permitted to the extent that it would require any Party or its Subsidiaries to waive the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product privilege, or violate any applicable Law; provided, that such Party or its Subsidiary (i) shall be entitled to withhold only such information that may not be provided without causing such violation or waiver, (ii) shall provide to the other Party all related information that may be provided without causing such violation or waiver (including, to the extent permitted, redacted versions of any such information) and (iii) shall enter into such effective and appropriate joint-defense agreements or other protective arrangements as may be reasonably requested by the other Party in order that all such information may be provided to the other Party without causing such violation or waiver.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4. <u>No Solicitation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each of Volato and the Company agrees that, during the Pre-Closing Period, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall it or any of its Subsidiaries authorize any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, induce or facilitate the communication, making or submission of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (ii) furnish any non-public information regarding Volato or the Company (as applicable) to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations (other than to inform any Person of the existence of the provisions of this Agreement) with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (except as provided in <u>Section 6.2</u> and <u>Section 6.3</u>), (v) execute or enter into any letter of intent or any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction (except as provided in <u>Section 6.2</u> and <u>Section 6.3</u>), or (vi) publicly propose, resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing (except as provided in <u>Section 6.2</u> and <u>Section 6.3</u>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any Party or any Representative of such Party receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then such Party shall promptly (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after such Party becomes aware of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry) advise the other Party orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and the terms thereof). Such Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any material modification or material proposed modification thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Party shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions, negotiations and communications with any Person that relate to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry as of the date of this Agreement and request the destruction or return of any nonpublic information provided to such Person.

During the Pre-Closing Period, each of the Company, on the one hand, and Volato, on the other hand, shall promptly notify the other (and, if in writing, furnish copies of) if any of the following occurs: (a) any notice or other communication is received from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions, (b) any Legal Proceeding against or involving or otherwise affecting such Party or its Subsidiaries is commenced, or, to the Knowledge of such Party, threatened against such Party or, to the Knowledge of such Party, any director, officer or Volato Key Employee or Company Key Employee (as applicable) of such Party, (c) such Party becomes aware of any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by such Party in this Agreement or (d) the failure of such Party to comply with any covenant or obligation of such Party; in each case that could reasonably be expected to make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in <u>Section 7</u>, <u>Section 8</u> or <u>Section 9</u>, as applicable, impossible or materially less likely. No such notice shall be deemed to supplement or amend the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Volato Disclosure Schedule for the purpose of (x) determining the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement or (y) determining whether any condition set forth in <u>Section 7</u>, <u>Section 8</u> or <u>Section 9</u> has been satisfied. Any failure by either Party to provide notice pursuant to this <u>Section 5.5</u> shall not be deemed to be a breach for purposes of <u>Section 8.2</u> or <u>Section 9.2</u>, as applicable, unless such failure to provide such notice was knowing and intentional.

Section 6. <u>Additional Agreements of the Parties</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1. <u>Registration Statement, Proxy Statement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, (i) Volato, in cooperation with the Company, shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement relating to the Volato Stockholder Meeting to be held in connection with the Merger (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the "**Proxy Statement**") and (ii) Volato, in cooperation with the Company, shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the "**Form S-4**"), in which the Proxy Statement shall be included as a part (the Proxy Statement and the Form S-4, collectively, the "**Registration Statement**"), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Volato Common Stock to be issued by virtue of the Contemplated Transactions. Volato shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the Registration Statement to comply with applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, (ii) cause the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable, (iii) respond promptly to any comments or requests of the SEC or its staff related to the Registration Statement. Volato shall take all or any action required under any applicable federal, state, securities and other Laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Volato Common Stock pursuant to the Contemplated Transactions. Each of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party and furnish all information concerning itself and their Affiliates, as applicable, to the other Parties that is required by Law to be included in the Registration Statement as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Volato covenants and agrees that the Registration Statement (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith) will (i) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the DGCL as well as the SEC form requirements, and (ii) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company covenants and agrees that the information supplied by or on behalf of the Company to Volato for inclusion in the Registration Statement (including the Company Financial Statements) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party makes any covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Registration Statement (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), if any, based on information provided by the other Party or any of its Representatives regarding such other Party or its Affiliates for inclusion therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Volato shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to Volato's stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. If at any time before the Effective Time, (i) Volato, Merger Sub or the Company (A) become aware of any event or information that, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Proxy Statement, (B) receives notice of any SEC request for an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or for additional information related thereto, or (C) receives SEC comments on the Registration Statement, or (ii) the information provided in the Registration Statement has become "stale" and new information should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, as the case may be, then such Party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other Parties thereof and shall cooperate with such other Parties in Volato filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC (and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to the Volato stockholders) or otherwise addressing such SEC request or comments and each Party and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required. Volato shall promptly notify the Company if it becomes aware (1) that the Registration Statement has become effective, (2) of the issuance of any stop order or suspension of the qualification or registration of the Volato Common Stock issuable in connection with the Contemplated Transactions for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or (3) any order of the SEC related to the Registration Statement, and shall promptly provide to the Company copies of all written correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Registration Statement and all orders of the SEC relating to the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Volato and provide, and cause its Representatives to provide, Volato and its Representatives, with all true, correct and complete information regarding the Company that is required by Law to be included in the Registration Statement or reasonably requested by Volato to be included in the Registration Statement (collectively, the "**Company Required S-4 Information**"). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Volato a consent letter of the Company's independent accounting firm, dated no more than three (3) Business Days before the date on which the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC (and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Volato), that is customary in scope and substance for consent letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the Registration Statement. The Company and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and on the response to any comments of the SEC on the Registration Statement, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Volato may not file the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, without the prior consent of the Company, *<u>provided</u>* that Volato has included the Company Required S-4 Information in the Registration Statement in substantially the same form as it was provided to Volato by the Company pursuant to this <u>Section 6.1</u>; *<u>provided, further</u>*, that if the prior consent of the Company is not obtained then, notwithstanding anything else herein, the Company makes no covenant or representation regarding the portion of such information supplied by or on behalf of the Company to Volato for inclusion in such Registration Statement that the Company reasonably identifies prior to such filing of the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company will furnish to Volato (i) audited financial statements for each of its fiscal years required to be included in the Registration Statement along with auditor consent (the "**Company Audited Financial Statements**") and (ii) unaudited interim financial statements for each interim period completed prior to Closing that would be required to be included in the Registration Statement or any periodic report due prior to the Closing if the Company were subject to the periodic reporting requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the "**Company Interim Financial Statements**"). Each of the Company Audited Financial Statements and the Company Interim Financial Statements will be suitable for inclusion in the Registration Statement and prepared in accordance with GAAP as applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except in each case as described in the notes thereto) and on that basis will present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Company as of the dates of and for the periods referred to in the Company Audited Financial Statements or the Company Interim Financial Statements, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2. <u>Company Stockholder Written Consent</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Promptly after the Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event no later than sixty (60) days thereafter, the Company shall have obtained the approval by written consent from Company stockholders sufficient for the Required Company Stockholder Vote in lieu of a meeting pursuant to the applicable provisions of the NRS, for purposes of (i) adopting and approving this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) acknowledging that the approval given thereby is irrevocable and that such stockholder is aware of its rights to demand appraisal for its shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the NRS and (iii) acknowledging that by its approval of the Merger it is not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to its shares in connection with the Merger and thereby waives any rights to receive payment of the fair value of its capital stock under the NRS (the "**Company Stockholder Written Consents**").

For the avoidance of doubt, no statement that Volato is unable to take a position or is considering its position or a "stop, look and listen" communication shall constitute an Volato Board Adverse Recommendation Change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Volato's obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Volato Stockholder Meeting in accordance with <u>Section 6.3(a)</u> shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or Acquisition Proposal, or by any Volato Board Adverse Recommendation Change (unless this Agreement is terminated in connection therewith).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, M2i, Merger Sub and Volato, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as such agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, the "**<u>Merger Agreement</u>**"), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into M2i with M2i being the surviving entity, and M2i will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Volato.

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of such number and percentage of shares of Volato Common Stock as indicated in <u>Schedule A</u>.

WHEREAS, as an inducement to the willingness of M2i to enter into the Merger Agreement, M2i has required that Stockholder enter into this Agreement pursuant to which Stockholder has, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, agreed to vote all of their shares of capital stock of Volato: (a) to approve the Volato Stockholder Matters and (b) against any Acquisition Proposal.

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Certain Definitions</u>. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement. For all purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) "<u>Constructive Sale</u>" means, with respect to any security, a short sale with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a derivative contract with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a futures or forward contract to deliver such security or entering into any other hedging or other derivative transaction that has the effect of either directly or indirectly materially changing the economic benefits or risks of ownership of such security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) "<u>Shares</u>" means (i) all shares of Volato Common Stock owned, beneficially or of record, held by the Stockholder as of the date hereof on an as converted basis as set forth under <u>Schedule A</u>, and (ii) all additional shares of Volato Common Stock acquired by the Stockholder, beneficially or of record, during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) "<u>Transfer</u>" or "<u>Transferred</u>" means, with respect to any security, the direct or indirect assignment, sale, transfer, tender, exchange, pledge or hypothecation, or the grant, creation or suffrage of a lien, security interest or encumbrance in or upon, or the gift, grant or placement in trust, or the Constructive Sale or other disposition of such security (including transfers by testamentary or intestate succession, by domestic relations order or other court order, or otherwise by operation of law) or any right, title or interest therein (including any right or power to vote to which the holder thereof may be entitled, whether such right or power is granted by proxy or otherwise), or the record or beneficial ownership thereof, the offer to make such a sale, transfer, Constructive Sale or other disposition, and each agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Transfer and Voting Restrictions</u>. The Stockholder covenants to M2i and Volato as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) During the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date (as defined below), the Stockholder shall not Transfer any of the Stockholder's Shares, or publicly announce its intention to Transfer any of its Shares, in each case, including any Transfer by merger (including by conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by operation of law or otherwise), or either voluntarily or involuntarily, offer to Transfer or consent to any Transfer or enter into any contract, option or other agreement or understanding with respect to the Transfer of any or all of such Stockholder's Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or otherwise permitted or required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a Governmental Authority, the Stockholder will not commit any act that would restrict the Stockholder's legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Shares held by the Stockholder or otherwise prevent or disable the Stockholder from performing any of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, nor shall the Stockholder take any action or agree or commit to take any action that would make any representation or warranty of such Stockholder contained in this Agreement untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the Stockholder from or in performing its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for this Agreement and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Stockholder shall not enter into any voting agreement with any person or entity with respect to any of the Stockholder's Shares, grant any person or entity any proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any Shares in a voting trust or otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement with any person or entity limiting or affecting the Stockholder's legal power, authority or right to vote the Stockholder's Shares in favor of the Volato Stockholder Matters and against any Acquisition Proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Agreement to Vote Shares</u>. The Stockholder covenants to M2i and Volato as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Until the Expiration Date, at any meeting of the stockholders of Volato, however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of Volato with respect to the Volato Stockholder Matters, the Stockholder shall be present (in person or by proxy) and vote, or exercise its right to consent with respect to, all Shares held by the Stockholder (A) in favor of the Volato Stockholder Matters, (B) against any Acquisition Proposal, and (C) in favor of an adjournment of the meeting of the stockholders of Volato, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the Volato Stockholder Matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Stockholder is the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of Shares, the Stockholder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the record holder and any nominees to be present (in person or by proxy) and vote all the Stockholder's Shares in accordance with this <u>Section 3.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the capital stock of Volato by reason of any split-up, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, reincorporation, exchange of shares or the like, the term "Shares" shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Action in Stockholder Capacity Only</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in the Stockholder's capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner, as applicable, of its Shares and not in the Stockholder's capacity as a director or officer of Volato, and this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect the actions or inactions of any Affiliate, representative or designee of the Stockholder or any of its Affiliates in his or her capacity, if applicable, as an officer or director of any other Person. Nothing herein shall limit or affect the Stockholder's ability to act as a director of Volato in the taking of any actions (or failure to act) in his or her capacity as a director of Volato if such action (or failure to act) would be inconsistent with the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director of Volato.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Irrevocable Proxy</u>. The Stockholder hereby revokes (or agrees to cause to be revoked) any proxies that the Stockholder has heretofore granted with respect to its Shares. In the event and to the extent that the Stockholder fails to vote the Shares in accordance with <u>Section 3</u> at any applicable meeting of the stockholders of Volato or pursuant to any applicable written consent of the stockholders of Volato, the Stockholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably granted to, and appointed, Volato, and any individual designated in writing by Volato, and each of them individually, as his, her or its proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in its name, place and stead, to vote his, her or its Shares in any action by written consent of Volato stockholders or at any meeting of the Volato stockholders called with respect to any of the matters specified in, and in accordance and consistent with, <u>Section 3</u> of this Agreement. Volato agrees not to exercise the proxy granted herein for any purpose other than the purposes described in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked and that such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the irrevocable proxy granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>No Solicitation</u>. From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under such Stockholder's control to, take any action that Volato is prohibited from taking pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Documentation and Information</u>. The Stockholder shall permit and hereby authorizes Volato and M2i to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Volato or M2i reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with the Merger and any of the Contemplated Transactions, a copy of this Agreement, the Stockholder's identity and ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Stockholder's commitments and obligations under this Agreement. Each of Volato and M2i is an intended third-party beneficiary of this <u>Section 7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>No Exercise of Appraisal Rights; Waivers</u>. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) waives, and agrees to cause to be waived and to prevent the exercise of, any rights of appraisal, any dissenters' rights and any similar rights (including any notice requirements related thereto) relating to the Merger that Stockholder may have by virtue of, or with respect to, any Shares (including all rights under the DGCL) and (b) agrees that the Stockholder will not bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntarily aid or participate in any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any Governmental Authority, which (i) challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement or (ii) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder, or the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Volato Board, breaches any fiduciary duty of the Volato Board or any member thereof; <u>provided</u>, that the Stockholder may defend against, contest or settle any such action, claim, suit or cause of action brought against the Stockholder that relates solely to the Stockholder's capacity as a director, officer or securityholder of Volato.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder</u>. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to M2i and Volato as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) (i) The Stockholder is the beneficial or record owner of the shares of Volato Common Stock indicated in <u>Schedule A</u> (each of which shall be deemed to be "held" by the Stockholder for purposes of <u>Section 3</u> unless otherwise expressly stated with respect to any shares in <u>Appendix A</u>), free and clear of any and all Encumbrances (except for any Encumbrance that may be imposed pursuant to this Agreement or any lock-up agreement entered into by and between the Stockholder, M2i and Volato); and (ii) the Stockholder does not beneficially own any securities of Volato other than the shares of Volato Common Stock and rights to purchase shares Volato Common Stock set forth in <u>Schedule A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to any Stockholder that is an entity, the Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and is qualified to conduct its business in those jurisdictions necessary to perform this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Stockholder has full power, legal capacity and authority to (i) make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and (ii) vote all of its Shares in the manner set forth in this Agreement without the consent or approval of, or any other action on the part of, any other person or entity (including any Governmental Authority). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder has not entered into any voting agreement (other than this Agreement) with any person with respect to any of the Stockholder's Shares, granted any person any proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney with respect to any of the Stockholder's Shares, deposited any of the Stockholder's Shares in a voting trust or entered into any arrangement or agreement with any person limiting or affecting the Stockholder's legal power, authority or right to vote the Stockholder's Shares on any matter contemplated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder and the performance by the Stockholder of the agreements and obligations hereunder will not result in any breach or violation of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term of any Contract or if applicable any provision of an organizational document (including a certificate of incorporation) to or by which the Stockholder is a party or bound, or any applicable Law to which the Stockholder (or any of the Stockholder's assets) is subject or bound, except for any such breach, violation, conflict or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair or adversely affect the Stockholder's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except for any such consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, has not and would not materially impair the Stockholder's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder will not contravene, conflict with or result in (i) a violation of any of the provisions of the Stockholder's organizational documents, (ii) any Law or any Order by which the Stockholder, or any of the assets owned or used by the Stockholder, is subject; (iii) a violation or breach of, or result in a default under, any provision of any contract to which the Stockholder is a party; or (iv) result in the imposition or creation of any Encumbrance upon or with respect to any asset owned or used by the Stockholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Stockholder has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement and this Agreement with counsel of the Stockholder's own choosing. The Stockholder has had an opportunity to review with its own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions. The Stockholder understands that it must rely solely on its advisors and not on any statements or representations made by Volato, M2i, Merger Sub or any of their respective agents or representatives with respect to the tax consequences of the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions. The Stockholder understands that such Stockholder (and not Volato, M2i, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation) shall be responsible for such Stockholder's tax liability that may arise as a result of the Merger or the Contemplated Transactions. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that M2i, Volato and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder's execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) With respect to the Stockholder, as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against, the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder's properties or assets (including the Shares) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Termination</u>. This Agreement shall terminate and shall cease to be of any further force or effect as of the earlier of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, or (b) the Effective Time (the "<u>Expiration Date</u>"); <u>provided</u>*,* <u>however</u>*,* that (i) <u>Section 11</u> shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from any liability for fraud or for any material and willful breach of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Further Assurances</u>. Each Stockholder shall, from time to time, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional or further consents, documents and other instruments as M2i or Volato may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Miscellaneous Provisions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Amendments</u>. No amendment of this Agreement shall be effective against any party unless it shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Electronic Transmission</u>. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by all parties by electronic transmission in PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Applicable Law; Jurisdiction.</u> This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Federal or State court sitting in the District of Nevada, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in accordance with clause (a) of this <u>Section 12(c)</u>, (iii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (iv) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party, (v) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with <u>Section 12(h)</u> of this Agreement and (vi) irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to trial by jury.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Assignment</u>.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Volato Enters $320 Billion Critical Minerals Market<sup>i</sup> with Execution of Definitive Agreement to Acquire M2i Global**

***Proposed Business Combination Will Create a Public Company that Aligns with U.S. Mineral Independence Strategy***

 

**Atlanta, GA and Reno, NV – July 29, 2025 (Globe Newswire) – Volato Group, Inc. ("Volato") (NYSE American: SOAR), a technology-driven private aviation company and M2i Global, Inc. ("M2i Global") (OTCQB: MTWO)**, a company specializing in the development and execution of a complete global value supply chain for critical minerals, today announced the signing of a definitive business combination agreement in which Volato will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common and preferred stock of M2i Global. The proposed transaction was previously announced on June 12, 2025 following the signing of a non-binding letter of intent.

Volato will expand into a diversified industrial platform serving a range of sectors—from aviation technology and software to the global supply chain for critical minerals essential to U.S. national defense, advanced technologies, and infrastructure.

The Board of Directors, for both Volato and M2i Global, support this combination transaction and have recommended shareholders approve the transaction. Volato will not be required to make any cash payment to M2i Global or its security holders in connection with the transaction. Volato expects to file an initial Registration Statement on Form S-4 in the next several weeks, which will include a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus related to the proposed transaction.

Upon completion of the acquisition, M2i Global will receive common shares of Volato stock such that the current shareholders of M2i Global will own approximately 85% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Volato and the current shareholders of Volato will own approximately 15% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Volato common stock. Based on current market prices, this structure represents an increase in value for Volato shareholders while enabling M2i Global to obtain an NYSE American listing and access the public markets.

It is expected that, at the closing, Matt Liotta will resign as Chief Executive Officer of Volato and be appointed as president of the aviation technology business lines of Volato consolidated in the reorganization as part of the transaction, and Major General (Ret.) Alberto Rosende will become the Chief Executive Officer of Volato. Mark Heinen will remain as Chief Financial Officer of Volato, and Mike Prachar will continue with Volato as Chief Operating Officer

With deep experience in regulated operations and enterprise software, Volato offers a strong foundation of disciplined execution and scalable systems. The company grew from startup to public company by deploying technology to streamline logistics, ensure compliance, and enhance the customer experience—all while maintaining an asset-light model.<br>M2i Global's ecosystem provides partners with access to turnkey solutions, facilitating expanded business opportunities, securing offtake agreements, influencing strategic government policy, and engaging with aligned NGOs and trusted laboratories. M2i Global specializes in the development and execution of a complete global value supply chain for critical minerals, including the creation of a U.S. Strategic Mineral Reserve, a Public/Private/Partnership to collaborate with the U.S. government. Together, these businesses offer differentiated revenue streams, a diversified capital base, and unique optionality in both federal and commercial markets.

"Volato was built to scale—combining disciplined execution, robust systems, and a team experienced in operating under public market scrutiny," said Matt Liotta, Chief Executive Officer of Volato. "We've developed technology, built processes, and delivered results in a complex, regulated industry. This transaction brings those capabilities to a new platform with significant upside, and we're confident in our ability to help accelerate growth and deliver value in the public markets."

"This transaction is a transformative step forward for M2i Global," said Major General (Ret.) Alberto Rosende, Chief Executive Officer of M2i Global. "We've built a powerful ecosystem of over 40 partners across industry and government to advance U.S. access to critical minerals—an issue now at the forefront of national strategy. With recent Executive Orders and continued geopolitical pressure on supply chains, demand for domestic sourcing and processing has never been more urgent. Combining with Volato positions M2i Global to capitalize on this moment—with public market access, seasoned leadership, and the infrastructure to move fast and deliver value."

The combined company will be led by a seasoned team with a strong track record in the public markets and regulated industries. Volato's leadership brings operational discipline, enterprise systems, and experience scaling a public company. M2i Global's team adds deep expertise across government and private sector channels, with a focus on advancing U.S. critical mineral independence. Together, the team is positioned to consolidate key business lines while preserving management continuity and accelerating the next phase of growth.

Volato Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Matt Liotta will continue to provide strategic guidance as a member of the combined company's board of directors and serve as President of its aviation and software operating unit. He brings over 25 years of leadership experience across a diverse range of technology and operations-focused companies.

Volato's Chief Financial Officer Mark Heinen brings over 30 years of finance and accounting experience, serving in leadership positions in both publicly traded and private technology companies. He began his career in public accounting at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Volato's Chief Operating Officer Michael Prachar brings deep operational and strategic experience across telecom, enterprise technology, and aviation. He previously built the Microsoft cloud business at Big Green IT, later acquired by Sourcepass, and was instrumental in growing Volato from a startup to a public company with nearly 300 employees.

M2i Global Executive Chairman Doug Cole previously led the pivot/turnaround at American Battery Technology by securing lithium land assets in Nevada, bringing in ex-Tesla personnel and ultimately building a lithium-ion battery metal recycling facility, which all led to a run from $20M to $2B market cap valuation. Many of the same key people are involved in M2i Global.

M2i Global Chief Executive Officer is Major General (Ret.) Alberto Rosende, a results-focused and transformational senior leader. He has over 37 years of command and operational experience in the Army, and 30 years of experience in the global payments industry, where he worked for two of the largest global payment brands, consulting directly with client banks and payment processors in the Latin America and Caribbean Region.
