On August 1, 2021, Sky Harbour LLC (“SHG” or “Sky”), a Delaware limited liability company, and Yellowstone Acquisition Company (“Yellowstone”) entered into a definitive equity purchase agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), which was subsequently announced on August 2, 2021 (the "Business Combination"). Immediately thereafter, BOC YAC Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BOC YAC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Boston Omaha Corporation (“Boston Omaha”), entered into a Series B Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Series B Purchase Agreement”) with SHG, which was also subsequently announced. As part of the transaction, BOC YAC has subsequently invested $55 million directly into SHG simultaneously with Sky's closing of a $166.6 million private activity bond offering. Upon the successful consummation of the Business Combination between SHG and Yellowstone, Boston Omaha's $55 million investment will convert into 5,500,000 shares of the post-combination public company’s Class A Common Stock, valued at $10.00 per share.
Item 8.01 Other Information.
Sky has been selected by the Town of Addison, Texas, to establish a new private hangar complex at its Dallas-area airport (KADS). KADS will be Sky's sixth project in the U.S. Its campus at Houston-area Sugar Land Regional Airport, consisting of 13 NFPA Group 3 modular hangars ranging from 8,000 to 16,000 square feet each, is now operational, while construction is underway on facilities at Nashville International and Florida’s Miami Opa-Locka Executive Airports. Those locations are expected to begin opening in the second half of 2022. Additional hangar groupings at Denver Centennial and Phoenix Deer Valley airports are currently in the site-development stage. At KADS, Sky is planning to build six hangars on the east side of the runway for an approximate total of 110,000 square feet of aircraft storage space, as well as add another 2.3 acres of ramp. A timeline for construction has not yet been established.
In addition, Sky has entered into a preliminary non-binding letter of intent to acquire an existing operating multi-hangar facility, including additional developable land, located in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Terms of the transaction are subject to a confidentiality agreement until such time as a definitive agreement is executed and the acquisition is subject to approvals from the owner of the land on which the hangars are leased. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into a definitive agreement or receive all necessary approvals required to consummate the transaction. . t

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact contained in this communication including, without limitation, statements regarding Boston Omaha’s, Yellowstone’s or Sky’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations; anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination; the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination; and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available.
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Boston Omaha’s, Yellowstone’s and Sky’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Equity Purchase Agreement or could otherwise cause the Business Combination to fail to close; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Yellowstone and Sky following the execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement and the Business Combination; (iii) any inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Yellowstone or other conditions to closing in the Equity Purchase Agreement; (iv) Sky’s ability to successfully develop and construct a new private hangar complex at KADS and commence operations at KADS; (v) Sky’s ability to successfully build six hangars at KADS for an approximate total of 110,000 square feet of aircraft storage space, as well as adding 2.3 acres of ramp; (vi) Sky’s ability to successfully complete construction and commence operations by the second half of 2022 at its Nashville International and Florida’s Miami Opa-Locka Executive Airport locations; (vii) Sky’s ability to successfully complete its current development stage additional hangar groupings at Denver Centennial and Phoenix Deer Valley airports; (viii) Sky's ability to complete the acquisition of the St. Louis facility and to build out additional hangar facilities on the leased St. Louis site; (ix) the inability to maintain the listing of the shares of common stock of the post-acquisition company on The Nasdaq Stock Market following the Business Combination; (x) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (xi) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (xii) costs related to the Business Combination; (xiii) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (xiv) the possibility that Sky or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (xv) potential future dilution to stockholders in their equity holdings in Sky, and (xvi) other risks and uncertainties indicated in the proxy statement, including those under the section entitled “Risk Factors”, and in Boston Omaha’s and Yellowstone’s other filings with the SEC.
Yellowstone cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Yellowstone cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of Yellowstone's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as amended and filed with the SEC. Yellowstone's securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, Yellowstone disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The bond offering discussed herein was made through a Preliminary Offering Statement (“POS”), which contains a number of disclosures regarding SH Capital and the Obligated Group for such bonds. The POS disclosure includes projections regarding the future business obligations of the Obligated Group and other disclosure pertaining to the Obligated Group. Because the POS disclosure has been drafted to convey information concerning only the Obligated Group, such disclosure should not be relied upon in making an investment decision regarding Yellowstone or Boston Omaha.
Yellowstone has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the proposed Business Combination, Yellowstone will mail the definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders. This communication does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the Business Combination. It is not intended to provide the basis for any investment decision or any other decision in respect to the proposed Business Combination.
