PART III - NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Wheels Up Experience Inc. (the “Company” or “Wheels Up”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date.

 

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 23, 2023, the Company is working with a number of advisors and industry participants around securing new strategic investments, raising capital, and executing previously disclosed strategic divestitures. On August 8, 2023 the Company entered into a short-term capital infusion in the form of a secured promissory note with Delta Air Lines, Inc. These efforts have involved significant resources and have been a priority for management, thereby diverting significant management time and internal resources from the Company’s processes to review and complete its financial statements and related disclosures in a manner that would permit a timely filing of the Form 10-Q. For this reason, the Company will be unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to complete and file the Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period.

 

The potential investments and/or capital raise described above are subject to market and other conditions that are not within the Company’s control. Absent the ability of the Company to obtain this additional funding in the near-term, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for any meaningful period of time after the filing of this Form 12b-25.

 

The Company is endeavoring to complete its financial close process and file its Form 10-Q on or before Monday, August 14, 2023, which is within the five-calendar day extension provided by Rule 12b-25.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 12b-25 contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. 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 known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside of the control of Wheels Up that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies of Wheels Up regarding the future. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “endeavor,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found in Wheels Up’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 and Wheels Up’s other filings with the SEC. Moreover, Wheels Up operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and Wheels Up undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in expectations, future events or otherwise. Although Wheels Up believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, Wheels Up cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, Wheels Up does not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.
