Surf Air Mobility Has Filed to Shorten Its Form S-1 Registration Period

Surf Air Mobility Inc. (the “Registrant”) (NYSE: SRFM), a regional air mobility platform aiming to sustainably connect the world’s communities, today announced that it has filed its previously announced post-effective amendment to shorten the Form S-1 registration period (the “Post-Effective Amendment”). This filing comes after the company announced last week that it would take this action in order to facilitate investor outreach and effectively lock up affiliate shares, as further described below.

The Post-Effective Amendment , on the date it is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), will deregister all securities remaining unsold on the Registration Statement on Form S-1 or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-272403) (the “Registration Statement”), which was initially publicly filed with the SEC on June 5, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on July 25, 2023. The Registrant anticipates requesting the Post-Effective Amendment to be declared effective by the SEC on September 1, 2023, which amendment is subject to review by the SEC.

The Registrant is filing the Post-Effective Amendment in order to shorten the effective period of the Registration Statement from October 23, 2023, the end date originally contemplated by the Registrant, to the date the Post-Effective Amendment is declared effective, which the Registrant anticipates to be September 1, 2023 (the “Effective Period”). The Registrant has determined to shorten the Effective Period in order to facilitate management engagement with institutional investors shortly following the end of the Effective Period.

The Registration Statement registered, among other securities, the resale of certain shares held by the Registrant’s affiliates. The shortening of the Effective Period means that the affiliate shares, 6,606,845 of which remain unsold, will not be freely tradeable until the Registrant files a new registration statement for the resale of such shares or they otherwise become eligible to rely on Rule 144 of the Securities Act or another exemption from registration. The Registrant anticipates these affiliate shares will be effectively locked-up, as they will be subject to stop transfer instructions with the Registrant’s transfer agent and registrar, until at least January 31, 2024, which is the earliest date the Registrant anticipates filing a new registration statement for the resale of affiliate shares. Additionally, the lock-up provisions in the Registrant’s charter documents and as described in the Registration Statement will continue to apply.

In connection with the foregoing, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement will be terminated upon the effectiveness of the Post-Effective Amendment. In accordance with undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities that were registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date of the effectiveness of the Post-Effective Amendment.
