Pursuant to the share subscription facility, upon the terms of and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, Surf Air Mobility will have the right from time to time at its option to direct GGY to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of Surf Air Mobility common stock, up to a maximum aggregate purchase price of $400 million, over a specified term. After the initial advance of $7.5 million, Surf Air Mobility may request advances of up to $25 million each under the share subscription facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million. Any drawn advance will reduce the amount that Surf Air can request for future draw downs.

If all the registered shares are not utilized at this time, they will remain available for future advances under the share purchase facility, to the extent such advances are requested by Surf Air Mobility. Surf Air Mobility intends to request such advances as needed and in increments aligned to the long-term growth of its business. The Form S-1 registration statement does not represent the full amount of shares that could be issued and sold to GGY under the share subscription facility.
