Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On June 15, 2017, Baltia Air Lines, Inc. dba USGlobal Airways (the “Company”) entered into a non-binding letter of intent with AerLine Holdings LLC (the “LOI”) for the exclusive right to acquire of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Songbird Airways, Inc. (“Songbird”) for an aggregate purchase price of $6,200,000 (the “Acquisition”). Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, at the time of closing, Songbird shall be debt free, it shall hold a valid and current air carrier certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”), and it shall hold a valid certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the Department of Transportation (the “DOT”) to conduct interstate and foreign charter air transportation with up to ten large aircraft. As of June 23, 2017, the Company has made a good-faith deposit of $1,000,000 with a third party escrow agent, which funds shall be fully refundable to the Company in the event that the Company and Songbird do not enter into a formal, definitive purchase agreement.

 

The Company is currently in the process of conducting its due diligence review of Songbird and has already confirmed the current status of Songbird’s FAA and DOT certificates. Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the closing of the Acquisition shall be no later than 90 days from the date of execution of the LOI. Each of the parties will bear its own costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Acquisition documents.

 

There can be no assurances that the Company will enter into a definitive agreement with Songbird, and even if the Company does enter into such agreement, we may not consummate this purchase at all or on the terms discussed in the LOI.
