Negatives

• Jet.AI will not receive proceeds from the resale of shares by the selling stockholder.
• The resale of a large number of shares could negatively impact the stock price.
• The company is an emerging growth company, which means reduced public company reporting requirements.

Risks

• The company is an early-stage company with a limited operating history.
• The company may not be able to continue to operate its business if it is not successful in securing additional fundraising and, as a result, may not be able to continue as a going concern.
• The company may not be able to successfully implement its growth strategies.
• The companys operating results are expected to be difficult to predict based on a number of factors that also will affect its long-term performance.
• If the company cannot internally or externally finance its aircraft or generate sufficient funds to make payments to external financing sources, the company may not succeed.
• The company may not have enough capital as needed and may be required to raise more capital and the terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.
• The companys business and reputation rely on, and will continue to rely on, third parties.
• Demand for the companys products and services may decline due to factors beyond its control.
• The company faces a high level of competition with numerous market participants with greater financial resources and operating experience.
• Aviation businesses are often affected by factors beyond their control including: air traffic congestion at airports; airport slot restrictions; air traffic control inefficiencies; natural disasters; adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes or blizzards; increased and changing security measures; changing regulatory and governmental requirements; new or changing travel-related taxes; or the outbreak of disease; any of which could have a material adverse effect on the companys business, results of operations and financial condition.
• The companys business is primarily focused on certain targeted geographic regions, making it vulnerable to risks associated with having geographically concentrated operations.
• The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, and failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain and retain customers.
• The supply of pilots to the airline industry is limited and may negatively affect the companys operations and financial condition. Increases in labor costs may adversely affect the companys business, results of operations and financial condition.
• The company is exposed to operational disruptions due to maintenance.
• Significant increases in fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on the companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
• If efforts to continue to build a strong brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, the company may not be able to attract or retain members, and its operating results may be adversely affected.
• The demand for the companys services is subject to seasonal fluctuations.
• If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares, limit our ability to access existing liquidity facilities and make obtaining future financing more difficult for us.
• Stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest due to the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, especially since the Series B Preferred Stock has fluctuating conversion rates that are set at a discount to market prices of our shares of Common Stock during the period immediately following conversion.
• The issuances of additional shares of Common Stock under the Share Purchase Agreement and the GEM Warrant may result in dilution of future Jet.AI stockholders and have a negative impact on the market price of Common Stock.
• Certain existing stockholders purchased our securities at a price below the current trading price of such securities, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price.
• Sales of Common Stock, or the perception of such sales, by us or the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for Common Stock to decline and the Selling Stockholder still may receive significant proceeds.
• A significant portion of Jet.AIs total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale following the consummation of the Business Combination, but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of the Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Future Outlook

Jet.AI intends to use the net proceeds for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, and other general corporate purposes. The Company has not allocated specific amounts of net proceeds for any of these purposes.
