Beginning on December 19, 2022, LGM Enterprises, LLC (d/b/a flyExclusive, Inc.) (“LGM”) intends to make the following communication available to its pilots:
WRITTEN COMMUNICATION TO PILOTS (TO BE SENT VIA EMAIL WEEK OF 12/19):
Dear [INSERT NAME],
Late last week, flyExclusive shared that it made the difficult decision to let approximately 50 of our employees go. Those impacted were team members found in client services, HR, dispatch support, and MRO. This decision was not easy and was done after a long and careful review of our options as a growing company with a bright future.
Please know this is not a reflection of demand or growth trajectory for flyExclusive but rather it is about realignment of resources, of which you are all a key part. Management maintains as much, if not more, conviction in the company’s ability to grow in both the near and long term.
And, as the business grows, new positions will be created and opened. With this most recent decision, we are reorganizing ourselves to better accommodate that growth and allow for more hires in the right departments and positions moving forward. This includes our ongoing investment in hiring and training of flight crew and technicians.
I know this is difficult and as a company it will take some time to adjust to our leaner – but more efficient—model, but also please remember that this decision was not made lightly and was done to position us to be stronger and more effective for years to come.
Thank you for your time and dedication. If you have any questions, please contact XX.
Sincerely,
[INSERT NAME]
Additional Information

EG’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement, any amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement in connection with EG’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting to be held to approve the Business Combination as these materials will contain important information about LGM and EG and the proposed Business Combination. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to the stockholders of EG as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. Such stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy statement, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of EG’s securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by EG’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by EG, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the approval by the stockholders of EG and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the transaction, (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Equity Purchase Agreement, (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on LGM’s business relationships, operating results and business generally, (vii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of LGM and potential difficulties in LGM employee retention as a result of the transaction, (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against LGM or against EG related to the Equity Purchase Agreement or the transaction, (ix) the ability to maintain the listing of the EG’s securities on a national securities exchange, (x) the price of EG’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which EG plans to operate or LGM operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting EG’s or LGM’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities, and (xii) the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive aviation industry. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of EG’s registration on Form S-1, the proxy statement that will be filed as discussed herein and other documents filed by EG from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and LGM and EG assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. LGM nor EG gives any assurance that either LGM or EG or the combined company will achieve its expectations.
