Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 17, 2024, flyExclusive, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide because the Company did not timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE. The Notice informed the Company that, pursuant to NYSE rules, the Company has six months from April 16, 2024 to regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards by filing the Form 10-K with the SEC. If the Company fails to file the Form 10-K within the six-month period, the NYSE may grant, in its sole discretion, an extension of up to six additional months for the Company to regain compliance, depending on the specific circumstances. The Notice also notes that the NYSE may nevertheless commence delisting proceedings at any time if it believes, in its sole discretion, that continued listing and trading of the Company’s securities on NYSE is inadvisable or unwarranted.
As previously reported by the Company in the Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on April 2, 2024, the Company was unable to file the Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. Subsequent to filing the Form 12b-25, the Company continued to dedicate significant resources to the completion of the Form 10-K but was unable to file by April 16, 2024, the end of the extension period provided by the Form 12b-25. As a newly public company and having become a taxable corporation in December 2023, the Company requires additional time to complete the financial reporting and close procedures for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.
The Company is working diligently to complete the necessary work to file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable and intends to regain compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards. The Company currently expects to do so by the end of April, although there can be no assurance of that timing, nor that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable Exchange listing standards. Until the Company files the Form 10-K, the Company’s common stock and warrants will remain listed on the NYSE under the symbols “FLYX” and “FLYXWS,” respectively, and will be assigned a “LF” indicator to signify late filing status.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 22, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is included herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
