Management remains focused on improving profitability and expanding margins by modernizing its fleet, leveraging partnership with Delta and delivering premium solutions for every customer journey
ATLANTA
, April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wheels Up Experience Inc. (NYSE: UP) ("Wheels Up") today announced that it received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on April 22, 2025 that the average closing price per share of its common stock did not exceed $1.00 over a 30 consecutive trading-day period, which is required for continued listing on the NYSE.
Wheels Up remains committed to executing its long-term, foundational improvements to its operations and commercial engine, and its objective to build a resilient business model to support sustainable future profitability. Key initiatives supporting this business transformation include modernizing its fleet through the addition of customer-preferred Embraer Phenom 300 series and Bombardier Challenger 300 series jets, leveraging its first-of-its-kind partnership with Delta Air Lines and delivering premium solutions for every customer journey. Wheels Up had approximately $316 million of liquidity (comprised of approximately $216 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and an undrawn $100 million commitment from Delta under its revolving credit facility) as of December 31, 2024. Receipt of the NYSE notice does not affect Wheels Up's commitment to executing on its strategic plan or its ability to serve its members and customers.
The NYSE's notification has no immediate effect on the listing of Wheels Up's common stock on the NYSE. Under the NYSE's rules, Wheels Up has six months from receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. Wheels Up intends to regain compliance with the NYSE's listing standards and has responded to the NYSE with respect to its intent to cure the deficiency by seeking approval at its upcoming annual meeting of stockholders on June 10, 2025 to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock and, unless it has already otherwise regained compliance, effecting such reverse stock split. Wheels Up may also consider various other available options to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement.
