Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported, on September 2, 2024, flyExclusive, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Aircraft Management Services Agreement (as amended, the “Volato Agreement”) with Volato Group, Inc. (“Volato”). Pursuant to the Volato Agreement, Volato engaged the Company as an independent contractor to provide certain aircraft management services and agreed that the Company will be the exclusive provider of such services to Volato. Under the terms of the Volato Agreement, the Company manages flight operations, sales, and expenses of Volato’s fleet. As part of the Volato Agreement, Volato granted the Company an option to acquire Volato via merger with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, subject to required consents and approvals by both Volato and the Company (the “Merger Option”). Additionally, Volato granted the Company the right to purchase from Volato certain aviation-related assets and assume certain obligations of Volato related to aviation-related assets (the “flyExclusive Option”), and the Company granted Volato the right to sell to the Company certain aviation-related assets and assign certain obligations of Volato (the “Volato Option,” and collectively with the flyExclusive Option, the “Asset Options”). A portion of the flyExclusive Option was previously exercised by the Company. The Volato Agreement had an original term of twelve months. Also as previously reported, on October 1, 2025, the term of the Volato Agreement was extended to the sooner of September 1, 2026, or the occurrence of other events, none of which has occurred. The Merger Option has since expired.
On September 1, 2026, the Company and Volato entered into a Sixth Amendment to Aircraft Management Services Agreement (the “Amendment”), effective as of August 31, 2026. Pursuant to the Amendment, the term of the Volato Agreement was extended to December 31, 2026. As such, the remaining Asset Options are in effect until the end of the term.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 10.1
SIXTH AMENDMENT TO AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT TO AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of August 31, 2026, by and among flyExclusive, Inc. (“Service Provider”) and Volato Group, Inc. (the “Company”).
RECITALS:
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, The Company and Service Provider hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINED TERMS; RECITALS. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement (as modified hereby). All of the Recitals stated above are true and accurate and by this reference are incorporated into and made a part of the body of this Amendment.
2. AMENDMENT TO AMS AGREEMENT.
2.1 Section 2(a) of the AMS Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(a) Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall begin on the Effective Date and shall expire at 5:00 pm E.T. on December 31, 2026.”
3. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT. Upon execution of this Amendment, all references to the AMS Agreement shall mean the AMS Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
4. PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION.
5.1 Entire Agreement; Costs and Expenses. This Amendment expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, negotiations, correspondence and agreements of the parties regarding such subject matter. Each party shall bear its own fees and cost incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Amendment.
5.2 Counterparts; Facsimile, Electronic Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Amendment may be delivered by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail, or by other electronic transmission, in portable document format (.pdf), or other electronic or facsimile format, and each such executed facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic record shall be considered an original executed counterpart for purposes of this Amendment. Each party to this Amendment (a) agrees that it will be bound by its own Electronic Signature (as such term is defined immediately below), (b) accepts the Electronic Signature of each other party to this Amendment, and (c) agrees that such Electronic Signatures shall be the legal equivalent of manual signatures. The term “Electronic Signature” means (i) the signing party’s manual signature on a signature page, converted by the signing party (or its agent) to facsimile or digital form (such as a .pdf file) and received from the customary email address or customary facsimile number of the signing party (or its counsel or representative), or other mutually agreed-upon authenticated source; or (ii) the signing party’s digital signature executed using a mutually agreed-upon digital signature service provider and digital signature process. The words “execution,” “executed”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this paragraph shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to include Electronic Signatures and the use and keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as manually executed signatures and the use of paper records and paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other similar state law.
