The transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”
The purpose of this Supplement is to supplement the disclosure in the Proxy Statement by describing a new senior secured note transaction entered into by LGM on December 1, 2023.

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.

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 EGA’s registration statement on Form S-1, the Proxy Statement, and other documents filed by EGA 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 EGA 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 EGA gives any assurance that either LGM or EGA or the combined company will achieve its expectations.
EGA cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. EGA cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of EGA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Under the Note, LGM can make voluntary prepayments, subject to a make-whole fee equal to the Interest Rate multiplied by the prepayment amount and calculated from the date of prepayment to December 1, 2024 (the “Make-Whole Fee”). However, no such Make-Whole Fee will be applied to certain prepayments resulting from the disposition of certain property, including the aircraft constituting collateral for the Note obligations or fractional shares in such aircraft.
The Note contains certain covenants limiting, among other things, LGM’s or Jet Share’s ability to sell or otherwise transfer to any third party any of their ownership of the collateral securing the Note, or LGM’s or Jet Share’s ability to incur certain other debt or incur certain liens.
The payment and performance of the obligations of the Note are secured on a first lien basis by the membership interests of Jet Share and a mortgage and security agreement with Jet Share for specified aircraft held by Jet Share.
The Note also provides for certain events of default, including, among other things, any change of control of LGM or Jet Share (other than on account of the Business Combination), a failure to pay any amounts due under the Note, a breach of any representation or warranty made by an Obligor, a failure to comply with the covenants set forth in the Note and certain security documents entered into by the Obligors or any material inaccuracy of the representations in such documents, the occurrence of any event of default or similar event under any agreement(s) evidencing or relating to debt of any Obligor or any subsidiary, which debt has an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $2,500,000, and certain events of insolvency/reorganization/liquidation of an Obligor.
The Note will mature on December 1, 2024, at which time, the outstanding principal amount, the back-end cash fee and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due.
