Global Crossing Airlines Announces Interim Order for Spin-Out of Canada Jetlines

By: Newsfile

Miami, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - May 25, 2021) -  Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (TSXV: JET) (OTCQB: JETMF) (the "Company" or "GlobalX") is pleased to announce the receipt of an Interim Order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Interim Order") in connection with their previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which GlobalX will spin-out the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. ("Jetlines") to its shareholders. Having obtained the Interim Order, GlobalX has posted an Information Notice on SEDAR at www.sedar.com that contains all of the details regarding the Arrangement.

Each shareholder of GlobalX, as of the record date for the Arrangement ("Record Date"), will receive one share of Jetlines for every two shares of GlobalX held on the Record Date. After distribution GlobalX will retain 25% of Jetlines shares, with 75% held by GlobalX shareholders as of the Record Date. GlobalX has determined that, subject to receipt of final approval from the Supreme Court of British Columbia the Record Date will be Thursday, June 24, 2021.

On the closing of the Arrangement, Jetlines and GlobalX will be operated as separate companies with separate management teams and Boards of Directors. For further details on the Arrangement and the business of Jetlines following the Arrangement, please refer to the Information Notice.

Additional Information

In order to comply with regulatory requirements for foreign control of a Canadian airline, Jetlines will establish a dual class share structure of Common Shares and Variable Voting Shares. Common Voting Shares carry one vote per share at meetings of shareholders of Jetlines. The number of votes for each Variable Voting Share is subject to adjustment in the event that foreign voting control limits are exceeded as prescribed by the Canada Transportation Agency. Common Voting Shares may only be owned or controlled by persons who are Canadians and Variable Voting Shares may only be owned or controlled by persons who are not Canadians. As a result Canadian shareholders of GlobalX will receive Common Voting Shares of Jetlines and non-Canadian shareholders of GlobalX will receive Variable Voting Shares of Jetlines. Going forward if additional Jetlines shares are purchased, such shares will be deemed to be automatically converted to Common Voting Shares when held by Canadians and to Variable Voting Shares when held by non-Canadians.

No fractional Jetlines shares will be distributed to ‎the shareholders of GlobalX and, as a result, all fractional amounts arising under the Arrangement will ‎be rounded down to the next whole number without any compensation therefor.

The completion of the Arrangement would not affect in any way the current shareholdings of shareholders in Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. The completion of the Arrangement and distribution of any securities to shareholders in the new proposed company is subject to a number of conditions including the final approval of the British Columbia Supreme Court. There is no certainty the transaction will be completed on the terms currently proposed or at all and the Board of GlobalX may determine to not proceed with the Arrangement should there be a change in market conditions or investor interest or should another opportunity arise that would similarly enhance value for shareholders.

The securities to be issued under the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from registration requirements. It is anticipated that any securities to be issued under the Arrangement will be offered and issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities.
