| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
As previously disclosed, on June 27, 2024, Jet.AI Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) announced its commencement of an exchange offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) pursuant to which the Company offered: (i) all holders of its outstanding redeemable warrants to purchase shares of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), which warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “JTAIW” (the “redeemable warrants”), and private placement warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “private placement warrants”), the opportunity to receive 0.3054 shares of common stock in exchange for each outstanding redeemable warrant or private placement warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the Offer; and (ii) all holders of its outstanding merger consideration warrants to purchase shares of common stock, which warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “JTAIZ” (the “merger consideration warrants”; together with the redeemable warrants and the private placement warrants, the “warrants”), the opportunity to receive 1.0133 shares of common stock in exchange for each outstanding merger consideration warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the Offer. As disclosed on July 30, 2024, the Company was advised that 8,930,344 redeemable warrants (approximately 90.6% of the outstanding redeemable warrants), 5,760,000 private placement warrants (100% of the outstanding private placement warrants), and 5,029,657 merger consideration warrants (approximately 67.7% of the outstanding merger consideration warrants) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and the Consent Solicitation, which occurred at11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 25, 2024.
As further previously disclosed, the Company also consummated the closing of the Consent Solicitation, pursuant to which the Company received the requisite approval to effect: (i) the amendment to that certain warrant agreement, dated August 21, 2021, by and between the Company (as successor to Oxbridge Acquisition Corp., our predecessor and a Cayman Islands exempted company) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”), as warrant agent (the “2021 Warrant Agreement Amendment”), which governed the terms and conditions of the redeemable warrants and the private placement warrants; and (ii) the amendment to that certain warrant agreement, dated August 10, 2023, by and between the Company and CST (the “2023 Warrant Agreement Amendment”), which governed the terms and conditions of the merger consideration warrants.
On August 21, 2024, the Company and CST entered into the 2021 Warrant Agreement Amendment and the 2023 Warrant Agreement Amendment, in accordance with which the Company exercised its right to exchange each warrant that was outstanding upon the closing of the Offer for 10% fewer shares of common stock than each such warrant would have been exchanged for pursuant to the applicable exchange ratio in the Offer (such exchange, the “Post-Offer Exchange”). Pursuant to the Post-Offer Exchange, each outstanding redeemable warrant will be mandatorily exchanged for 0.24741 shares of common stock, and each outstanding merger consideration warrant will be mandatorily exchanged for 0.9120 shares of common stock. The Company has fixed the date for the Post-Offer Exchange as September 9, 2024, and expects to issue approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock in connection therewith, after which no warrants will remain outstanding. In lieu of issuing fractional shares in the Post-Offer Exchange, with respect to any holder of warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares, the Company will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, round up to the nearest whole share of common stock and deliver to such holder a whole share in lieu of any fraction thereof.
The foregoing descriptions of the 2021 Warrant Agreement Amendment and the 2023 Warrant Agreement Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the 2021 Warrant Agreement Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the 2023 Warrant Agreement Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.2, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the expected timing of the Offer, the Consent Solicitation, and the Post-Offer Exchange. 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, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. 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 Current Report on Form 8-K, including, but not limited to those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed on July 11, 2024, as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated.
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 we 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. We do not give any assurance that we will achieve our expectations.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to exchange or the solicitation of an offer to exchange or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, nor shall there be any exchange or sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. A Registration Statement on Form S-4 relating to the securities issued or to be issued in the Offer was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 2024. The Offer and the Consent Solicitation were made only through the Schedule TO and Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, and the related letter of transmittal, and the complete terms and conditions of the Offer and the Consent Solicitation are set forth in the Schedule TO and Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, and the related letter of transmittal.

Exhibit 10.1
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO WARRANT AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) is made as of August 21, 2024, by and between Jet.AI Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), and constitutes an amendment to that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2021, between the Company (f/k/a Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“SPAC”)) and the Warrant Agent (the “Existing Warrant Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Existing Warrant Agreement.
WHEREAS, Section 9.8 of the Warrant Agreement provides that the Company and the Warrant Agent may amend, subject to certain conditions provided therein, the Existing Warrant Agreement (i) solely with respect to the Public Warrants with the vote or written consent of registered holders of at least a majority of the number of the then-outstanding Public Warrants, and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants or any provision of the Existing Agreement with respect to the Working Capital Warrants, the vote or written consent of a majority of the holders of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants or the Working Capital Warrants, as applicable.
WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Existing Warrant Agreement to provide the Company with the right to require the registered holders of the Warrants to exchange all of the outstanding Warrants for shares of Company common stock, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, in the exchange offer and consent solicitation undertaken by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the registered holders of more than 50% of the number of the then outstanding Public Warrants and more than 50% of the Private Placement Warrants have consented to and approved this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree to amend the Existing Warrant Agreement as set forth herein.
1. Amendment of Existing Warrant Agreement. The Existing Warrant Agreement is hereby amended by adding:
| (a) | the new Section 6A thereto: |
“6A. Mandatory Exchange.
6A.1. The Business Combination. On August 10, 2023, the Company domesticated as a Delaware corporation and changed its name to “Jet.AI Inc.” and completed its business combination with Jet Token Inc. (the “Business Combination”). In accordance with Section 4.4 of this Agreement, upon effectiveness of the Business Combination, the holders of the Warrants thereafter had the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of Ordinary Shares of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, an Alternative Issuance in shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Jet.AI Inc. (the “Common Shares”).
6A.2. Company Election to Exchange. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all (and not less than all) of the outstanding Warrants may be exchanged, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the registered holders of the then outstanding Warrants, as described in Section 6A.3 below, for Common Shares (or any Alternative Issuance pursuant to Section 4.4), at the exchange rate of 0.2749 Common Shares (or any Alternative Issuance pursuant to Section 4.4) for each Warrant held by the registered holder thereof (the “Consideration”) (subject to equitable adjustment by the Company in the event of any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transaction with respect to the Common Shares). In lieu of issuing fractional shares, with respect to any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares as Consideration, the Company will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, round up to the nearest whole Common Share and deliver to such holder a whole share in lieu of any fraction thereof.
6A.3. Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Exchange. In the event that the Company elects to exchange all of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for the exchange (the “Exchange Date”). Notice of exchange shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Exchange Date to the registered holders at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. The Company will make a public announcement of its election through a press release following the mailing of such notice.
6A.4. Exercise After Notice of Exchange. The Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with subsection 3.3.1(c) of this Agreement) at any time after notice of exchange shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6A.3 hereof and prior to the Exchange Date (the last day of the Exercise Period of the Warrants, as adjusted, to terminate on the Exchange Date, the “Adjusted Expiration Date”). After the Adjusted Expiration Date, the registered holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to exercise the Warrants) except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the Consideration.”
2. Miscellaneous Provisions.
2.1. Severability. This Amendment shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Amendment or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Amendment a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.
2.2. Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Amendment and of the Warrants shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Amendment shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The Company hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
2.3. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication) and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Amendment, if any, shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf,” “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.
2.4. Effect of Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.
2.5. Entire Agreement. The Existing Warrant Agreement, as modified by this Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Amendment. If any provision of this Amendment is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any such determination, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Amendment to fulfill as closely as possible the original intent and purpose of this Amendment.

Exhibit 99.1
Jet.AI Announces Entry Into Warrant Amendments After Successful Warrant Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation
LAS VEGAS, August 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jet.AI Inc. (“Jet.AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: JTAI), an innovative private aviation and artificial intelligence company, announced its entry with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company on August 21, 2024 into: (i) the 2021 Warrant Agreement Amendment, which governs the terms and conditions of the Company’s redeemable warrants to purchase shares of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), which warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “JTAIW” (the “redeemable warrants”), and the Company’s private placement warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “private placement warrants”); and (ii) the 2023 Warrant Agreement Amendment, which governs the terms and conditions of the Company’s merger consideration warrants to purchase shares of common stock, which warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “JTAIZ” (the “merger consideration warrants”; together with the redeemable warrants and the private placement warrants, the “warrants”).
The Company entered into the 2021 Warrant Agreement Amendment and the 2023 Warrant Agreement Amendment following the expiration of its previously announced exchange offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”), which commenced on June 27, 2024, and expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 25, 2024. As disclosed on July 30, 2024, the Company was advised that 8,930,344 redeemable warrants (approximately 90.6% of the outstanding redeemable warrants), 5,760,000 private placement warrants (100% of the outstanding private placement warrants), and 5,029,657 merger consideration warrants (approximately 67.7% of the outstanding merger consideration warrants) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and the Consent Solicitation.
In accordance with the Company’s entry into the 2021 Warrant Agreement Amendment and the 2023 Warrant Agreement Amendment, the Company has exercised its right to exchange each warrant that was outstanding upon the closing of the Offer for 10% fewer shares of common stock than each such warrant would have been exchanged for pursuant to the applicable exchange ratio in the Offer (such exchange, the “Post-Offer Exchange”). Pursuant to the Post-Offer Exchange, each outstanding redeemable warrant will be mandatorily exchanged for 0.24741 shares of common stock, and each outstanding merger consideration warrant will be mandatorily exchanged for 0.9120 shares of common stock.
The Company has fixed the date for the Post-Offer Exchange as September 9, 2024, and expects to issue approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock in connection therewith, after which no warrants will remain outstanding. In lieu of issuing fractional shares in the Post-Offer Exchange, with respect to any holder of warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares, the Company will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, round up to the nearest whole share of common stock and deliver to such holder a whole share in lieu of any fraction thereof.
Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Company issued an aggregate of approximately 9.5 million shares of common stock in exchange for the warrants tendered in the Offer, bringing the total shares outstanding to 24,576,880 shares as of July 30, 2024 (an increase of approximately 75.5% from prior to the closing of the Offer). Following the completion of the Post-Offer Exchange, there will be approximately 27,054,217 shares of common stock outstanding (an increase of approximately 93.2% from prior to the closing of the Offer and the Post-Offer Exchange). Upon the completion of the Post-Offer Exchange, no warrants will remain outstanding. Accordingly, the redeemable warrants and the merger consideration warrants will be suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market and will be de-listed following the completion of the Post-Offer Exchange. The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “JTAI.”
Morrow Sodali LLC served as the Information Agent for the Offer and the Consent Solicitation and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company served as the Exchange Agent.
No Offer or Solicitation
This press release shall not constitute an offer to exchange or the solicitation of an offer to exchange or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, nor shall there be any exchange or sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. A registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the securities issued, or to be issued in the Offer was declared effective on July 22, 2024. The Offer and the Consent Solicitation were made only through the Schedule TO and Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, and related letter of transmittal, and the complete terms and conditions of the Offer and the Consent Solicitation are set forth in the Schedule TO and Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, and related letter of transmittal.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the expected timing of the Offer, the Consent Solicitation, and the Post-Offer Exchange. 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, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. 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 Current Report on Form 8-K, including, but not limited to those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed June 27, 2024, as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this press release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated.
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 we 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. We do not give any assurance that we will achieve our expectations.
