ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $200,000,000. We have provided to you in this prospectus a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities under this shelf registration process, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of the offering. We may also add, update or change in the prospectus supplement or any “free writing prospectus” we may authorize to be delivered to you any of the information contained in this prospectus.

SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, including the information set forth under the heading Risk Factors and our financial statements and related notes and other information that we incorporate by reference herein, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

 

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this prospectus to the terms the Company, SHG Corporation, Registrant, we, us and our refer to the entity formerly named Yellowstone Acquisition Company, after giving effect to the Business Combination, and as renamed Sky Harbour Group Corporation. The terms Yellowstone and YAC are to our company prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

 

The Company

 

We are an aviation infrastructure development company building the first nationwide network of home basing hangar campuses for business aircraft. We develop, lease and manage general aviation hangars across the United States, targeting airfields in markets with significant aircraft populations and high hangar demand. Our home basing hangar campuses feature exclusive private hangars and a full suite of dedicated services specifically optimized for home-based, versus transient, aircraft.

 

The physical footprint of the U.S. business aviation fleet grew by almost 28 million square feet in the ten years preceding the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, with hangar supply lagging dramatically, especially in key growth markets. As the fleet of private jets in the United States continues to grow, with recent new aircraft deliveries exceeding retirements, demand for hangar space is at a premium in part because new jets require more square footage of hangar space and the pace of new hangar construction has lagged behind the demand. The cumulative square footage of the business aircraft fleet in the United States increased 50% between 2010 and 2021. Moreover, over that same period, there was an 81% increase in the square footage of larger private jets – those with greater than a 24-foot tail height. A recent study conducted by a business aircraft manufacturer forecasted that business aircraft will only continue to grow in the next ten years, with up to 8,500 new business jet deliveries worth over $275 billion expected to be delivered between 2024 and 2033, further supported by data from the major business aviation manufacturers that suggest the current order backlog for new business aviation aircraft is over $49 billion.

 

These larger footprint aircraft do not fit in much of the existing hangar infrastructure and impose stacking challenges and constraints in the traditional shared or community hangars operated by fixed-base operators (“FBO”). The addition of winglets (the vertical extensions on aircraft wingtips) on most modern business jets inhibits wing-over-wing storage. Aircraft hangars are in high demand and short supply, with some airports compiling waiting lists that can exceed several years.

 

We believe our scalable, real estate-centric business model is uniquely positioned to capture this market opportunity and address the increased imbalance between the supply and demand for private jet storage. We intend to capitalize on the existing hangar supply constraints at major U.S. airports by targeting high-end tenants in markets where there is a shortage of private and FBO hangar space, or where such hangars are or are becoming obsolete.

 

We expect to realize economies of scale in construction through a prototype hangar design replicated at home basing hangar campuses across the United States. This allows for centralized procurement, straightforward permitting processes, efficient development processes, and the best hangar in business aviation. Unlike a service company, our revenues are mostly derived from long-term rental agreements, offering stability and forward visibility of revenues and cash flows. This allows us to fund our development through the public bond market, providing capital efficiency and mitigating refinance risk.

 

In contrast with community hangars and other facilities provided by FBOs, the home basing hangar campuses we develop provide the following features and services:

 

 

private hangar space for exclusive use of the tenant;

 

adjoining configurable lounge and office suites;

 

line crews and services dedicated exclusively to tenants;

 

climate control to mitigate condensation and associated corrosion;

 

features to support in-hangar aircraft maintenance;

 

no-foam fire suppression; and

 

customized software to provide security, control access and monitor hangar space.

 

 

We use a standard set of proprietary prototype hangar designs, which are intended to deliver high quality business aviation facilities, lower construction costs, minimize development risk, expedite permit issuance, and facilitate the implementation of refinements across its portfolio. Hangar features include:

 

 

the ability to accommodate heavy business jets in single configuration, medium jets in twin or triplet configuration, or light jets in multi-configuration;

 

compliance with National Fire Protection Association 409 Group III fire code, eliminating foam fire protection systems, resulting in lower construction costs and operating expenses, as well as eliminating accidental foam discharges and the resultant negative effects on aircraft maintenance and resale value;

 

high-voltage capability, industrial drainage and impervious floors that support in-hangar maintenance and inspections; and

 

control through smartphone application.

 

Our product strategy aims to attract tenants with exclusive access to their aircraft, minimize the risk of damage to aircraft, provide increased access, security and control, facilitate maintenance, and improve pre-flight and post-flight convenience. We believe that with no transient traffic, our home basing hangar campuses offer a shorter time to wheels-up, even during periods of peak traffic. Our research has indicated our current and typical future tenants operate late model business jets that emit less noise than other based aircraft, leading to a decreased average noise footprint at our home basing hangar campuses.  

 

We believe demand for home basing hangar campuses will be driven broadly by the growing size of the business aviation fleet in the United States and the delivery of larger aircraft with taller tail heights. The discovery by first-time flyers in the convenience, control and comfort of general aviation has caused a shift in consumer behavior which we believe will also support increasing demand for home basing hangar campuses.

 

Background

 

The Company was originally known as Yellowstone Acquisition Company. On January 25, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), YAC consummated the business combination with Sky Harbour LLC (“Sky”) pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of August 1, 2021 between YAC and Sky (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, among other things, YAC changed its name to Sky Harbour Group Corporation and the Company was reorganized as an umbrella partnership-C corporation, or “Up-C”, structure in which substantially all of the operating assets of the Company are held by Sky and the Company’s only substantive assets are its equity interests in Sky. Sky was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification 805. While YAC was the legal acquirer of Sky in the Business Combination, because Sky was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Sky became the historical financial statements of the Company upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Corporate Information

 

YAC was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 25, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving YAC and one or more businesses. YAC completed its initial public offering on October 26, 2020. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we changed our name to Sky Harbour Group Corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 136 Tower Road, Suite 205, Westchester County Airport, White Plains, NY 10604. Our telephone number is (212) 554-5990. Our website address is www.skyharbour.group. Information contained on our website or connected thereto does not constitute part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part.

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Before you invest in our securities, in addition to the other information, documents or reports included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in any prospectus supplement as well as in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and in “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to such Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement in their entirety, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the market price of our shares and any other securities we may issue. Moreover, the risks and uncertainties discussed in the foregoing documents are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the market price of our shares and any other securities we may issue could be materially adversely affected by other matters that are not known to us or that we currently do not consider to be material risks to our business.

 

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, as well as the documents incorporated by reference therein, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “potential,” “projects,” “predicts,” “continue,” or “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to:

 

 

expectations regarding the Company’s strategies and future financial performance, including the Company’s future business plans or objectives, prospective performance and commercial opportunities and competitors, services, pricing, marketing plans, operating expenses, market trends, revenues, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and the Company’s ability to invest in growth initiatives;

 

the effects of general economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates levels, and availability of construction materials for our development projects;

 

our limited operating history makes it difficult to predict future revenues and operating results;

 

financial projections may not prove to be reflective of actual financial results;

 

our ability to implement our construction costs mitigation strategies;

 

changes in applicable laws or regulations;

 

the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors;

 

our financial performance; and

 

other risk factors included under “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. These risks and others described under “Risk Factors” may not be exhaustive.

 

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus. In addition, even if our results or operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

General Matters

 

Pursuant to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the total amount of our authorized capital stock is 260,000,000 shares, which consists of 200,000,000 shares of authorized Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), 50,000,000 shares of authorized Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and together with Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of March 18, 2024, we had outstanding 24,375,122 shares of Class A Common Stock, 42,046,356 shares of Class B Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock. As of March 18, 2024 we had approximately seven holders of record of our Class A Common Stock.

 

The following summary of our capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by, our Certificate of Incorporation, our bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and our Description of Securities, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

Common Stock

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the stockholders for their vote or approval, except as required by applicable law. The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Shares of our Class A Common Stock are entitled to share equally in any dividends our board of directors may declare from legally available sources. Shares of our Class B Common Stock do not have any right to receive dividends other than stock dividends consisting of shares of Class B Common Stock, as applicable, in each case paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock. Our Class A Common Stock is traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “SKYH”. The section below entitled “Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and of the Company’s Charter and Bylaws” contains additional information regarding the rights and preferences of our Common Stock. The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company. 

 

Preferred Stock

 

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the Preferred Stock that we may offer under this prospectus.

 

Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix and determine the following terms of the preferred stock by resolution: variations in the designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights (including, without limitation, special voting rights, of conversion in Common Stock or other securities, redemption provisions or sinking fund provisions) as between series and between the Preferred Stock and any series thereof and the Common Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such rights, all as shall be stated in a resolution of the board of directors. Shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof may have full or limited voting powers, or be without voting powers, all as shall be stated in a resolution of the board of directors. 

 

Any or all of these rights may be greater than the rights of our Common Stock. We currently have no issued and outstanding Preferred Stock.

 

Our board of directors, without shareholder approval, can issue Preferred Stock with voting, conversion or other rights that could negatively affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. Preferred Stock could thus be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of the Company or to make it more difficult to remove the Company’s management. Additionally, the issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

 

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

 

Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that, subject to any special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock and except as otherwise required by applicable law, special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by or at the direction of the board of directors. Except as described above, stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require the board of directors to call a special meeting.

 

Advance Notice Procedures. The Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, and for stockholder nominations of persons for election to the board of directors to be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given the Company’s secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business or nomination before the meeting. Although the Bylaws do not give the board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, as applicable, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares. The Company’s authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to rules of the securities exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is listed. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions, and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of the Company’s common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation provide that the Company is not subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with an “interested stockholder” (which includes a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock) for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to any anti-takeover effects of Section 203.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

 

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the depositary shares that we may offer under this prospectus. The following statements with respect to the depositary shares and depositary receipts are summaries of, and subject to, the detailed provisions of a deposit agreement to be entered into by the Company and a depositary to be selected at the time of issue (the “depositary”) and the form of depositary receipt. The form of deposit agreement and the form of depositary receipt will be filed with the SEC.

 

General

 

We may, at our option, elect to issue fractional shares of Preferred Stock, rather than full shares of Preferred Stock. In the event such option is exercised, we may elect to have a depositary issue receipts for depositary shares, each receipt representing a fraction, to be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of Preferred Stock, of a share of a particular series of Preferred Stock as described below.

 

The shares of any series of Preferred Stock represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company that we select. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of Preferred Stock represented by such depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock represented by the depositary share, including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights.

 

Depositary Receipts

 

The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of an offering of the Preferred Stock.

 

Withdrawal of Preferred Stock

 

Upon surrender of depositary receipts at the office of the depositary and upon payment of the charges provided in the deposit agreement, a holder of depositary receipts may have the depositary deliver to the holder the whole shares of Preferred Stock relating to the surrendered depositary receipts. Holders of depositary shares may receive whole shares of the related series of Preferred Stock on the basis set forth in the related prospectus supplement for such series of Preferred Stock, but holders of such whole shares will not after the exchange be entitled to receive depositary shares for their whole shares. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares of the related series of Preferred Stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing such excess number of depositary shares.

 

Dividends and Other Distributions

 

The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received for the Preferred Stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to the Preferred Stock in proportion to the numbers of such depositary shares owned by such holders.

 

In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares entitled thereto, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make distribution of the property. In that case the depositary may, with our approval, sell such property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to such holders.

 

Redemption of Depositary Shares

 

If a series of Preferred Stock represented by depositary shares is subject to redemption, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the proceeds received by the depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of the series of Preferred Stock held by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the series of the Preferred Stock. Whenever we redeem shares of Preferred Stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing shares of Preferred Stock redeemed by us. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the depositary.

 

 

Voting the Preferred Stock

 

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in such notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to such Preferred Stock. Each record holder of such depositary shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the Preferred Stock, will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of the Preferred Stock represented by such holder’s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote the amount of the Preferred Stock represented by such depositary shares in accordance with such instructions, and we will agree to take all action which may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary will not vote the Preferred Stock to the extent it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of depositary shares representing such Preferred Stock.

 

Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement

 

We and the depositary at any time may amend the form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement. However, any amendment which materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless such amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. We or the depositary may terminate the deposit agreement only if all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed, or there has been a final distribution in respect of the Preferred Stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and such distribution has been distributed to the holders of depositary receipts.

 

Charges of Depositary

 

We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary receipts will pay other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.

 

Miscellaneous

 

The depositary will forward to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to such Preferred Stock all reports and communications from us which are delivered to the depositary.

 

Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if either one is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond their control in performing the obligations under the deposit agreement. The obligations of the Company and the depositary under the deposit agreement will be limited to performance in good faith of their duties thereunder, and they will not be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. The depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or information provided by persons presenting Preferred Stock for deposit, holders of depositary receipts or other persons believed to be competent and on documents believed to be genuine.

 

Resignation and Removal of Depositary

 

The depositary may resign at any time by delivering to us notice of its election to do so, and we may at any time remove the depositary, any such resignation or removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment. Such successor depositary must be appointed within sixty (60) days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus and the related warrant agreements and warrant certificates. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we indicate in the prospectus supplement, the terms of any warrants offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Specific warrant agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

General

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of Common Stock or Preferred Stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities.

 

We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into a warrant agreement with a warrant agent. If we engage a warrant agent, each warrant agent will be a bank that we select which has its principal office in the United States. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants.

 

Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including the right to receive dividends, if any, or, payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any.

 

Additional Information

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants, including:

 

 

the offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered;

 

the currency for which the warrants may be purchased;

 

if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;

 

in the case of warrants to purchase Common Stock or Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise;

 

the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;

 

the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;

 

any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;

 

the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire;

 

the manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified;

 

a discussion on any material or special United States federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants;

 

the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and

 

any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants.

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to 5 p.m., Eastern time, on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

 

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.

 

 

Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants

 

Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date. The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:

 

 

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

 

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units;

 

the terms of the unit agreement governing the units;

 

United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the units; and

 

whether the units will be issued in fully registered global form.

 

This summary of certain general terms of units and any summary description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to all provisions of the applicable unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units. The forms of the unit agreements and other documents relating to a particular issue of units will be filed with the SEC each time we issue units, and you should read those documents for provisions that may be important to you.

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities through underwriters or dealers, through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. The accompanying prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including:

 

 

the name or names of any underwriters;

 

the purchase price of the securities being offered and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;

 

any over-allotment options pursuant to which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;

 

any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;

 

any public offering price;

 

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

 

any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of the sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. We may change from time to time the public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe such relationships in the prospectus supplement naming the underwriter and the nature of any such relationship.

 

We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of the securities, and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

We may engage in “at the market offerings” of our equity securities, which are offerings into an existing trading market, at other than a fixed price, on or through the facilities of a national securities exchange or to or through a market maker otherwise than on an exchange.

 

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common shares, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of common shares. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment to this registration statement.

 

Our Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are listed on the NYSE American. All securities we offer other than Class A Common Stock or Public Warrants will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

 

We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities related to this offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

 

Rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters to bid for or purchase securities before the distribution of the securities is completed. However, underwriters may engage in the following activities in accordance with the rules:

 

 

Stabilizing transactions — Underwriters may make bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the shares, so long as stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

 

 

 

Over-allotments and syndicate covering transactions — Underwriters may sell more shares of our Common Stock than the number of shares that they have committed to purchase in any underwritten offering. This over-allotment creates a short position for the underwriters. This short position may involve either “covered” short sales or “naked” short sales. Covered short sales are short sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares in any underwritten offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their over-allotment option or by purchasing shares in the open market. To determine how they will close the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market, as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Naked short sales are short sales in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that, in the open market after pricing, there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares that could adversely affect investors who purchase shares in the offering.

 

Penalty bids — If underwriters purchase shares in the open market in a stabilizing transaction or syndicate covering transaction, they may reclaim a selling concession from other underwriters and selling group members who sold those shares as part of the offering.

 

Similar to other purchase transactions, an underwriter’s purchases to cover the syndicate short sales or to stabilize the market price of our securities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or mitigating a decline in the market price of our securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of shares if it discourages resales of the securities.

 

If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

 

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of the issuance of the securities described herein has been passed upon for us by Morrison & Foerster LLP. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us or any underwriters, dealers or agents, by counsel that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Under the shelf registration process, we may offer shares of our Class A Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000 from time to time under this prospectus at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time of offering.

 

We provide information to you about this offering of shares of our Class A Common Stock in two separate documents that are bound together: (1) this prospectus, which describes the specific details regarding this offering, and (2) the accompanying base prospectus, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this “prospectus,” we are referring to both documents combined. If information in this sales agreement prospectus is inconsistent with the accompanying base prospectus, you should rely on this sales agreement prospectus.

 

You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering before making an investment decision. You should also read and consider the information in the documents referred to in the sections of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”

 

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it.

 

We are not making an offer to sell the securities covered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

The information appearing in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering is accurate only as of its respective date, regardless of the time of delivery of the respective document or of any sale of securities covered by this prospectus. You should not assume that the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, is accurate as of any date other than the respective dates thereof. Any statement made in this prospectus and in any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus will be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement in this prospectus or in any other subsequently filed document that is also incorporated by reference in this prospectus modifies or supersedes that statement.

 

In this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms the “Company,” “SHG Corporation,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us” and “our” and similar terms refer to the entity formerly named Yellowstone Acquisition Company, after giving effect to the Business Combination, and as renamed Sky Harbour Group Corporation.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, including the information set forth under the heading Risk Factors and our financial statements and related notes and other information that we incorporate by reference herein, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

 

The Company

 

We are an aviation infrastructure development company building the first nationwide network of home basing hangar campuses for business aircraft. We develop, lease and manage general aviation hangars across the United States, targeting airfields in markets with significant aircraft populations and high hangar demand. Our home basing hangar campuses feature exclusive private hangars and a full suite of dedicated services specifically optimized for home-based, versus transient, aircraft.

 

The physical footprint of the U.S. business aviation fleet grew by almost 28 million square feet in the ten years preceding the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, with hangar supply lagging dramatically, especially in key growth markets. As the fleet of private jets in the United States continues to grow, with recent new aircraft deliveries exceeding retirements, demand for hangar space is at a premium in part because new jets require more square footage of hangar space and the pace of new hangar construction has lagged behind the demand. The cumulative square footage of the business aircraft fleet in the United States increased 50% between 2010 and 2021. Moreover, over that same period, there was an 81% increase in the square footage of larger private jets – those with greater than a 24-foot tail height. A recent study conducted by a business aircraft manufacturer forecasted that business aircraft will only continue to grow in the next ten years, with up to 8,500 new business jet deliveries worth over $275 billion expected to be delivered between 2024 and 2033, further supported by data from the major business aviation manufacturers that suggest the current order backlog for new business aviation aircraft is over $49 billion.

 

These larger footprint aircraft do not fit in much of the existing hangar infrastructure and impose stacking challenges and constraints in the traditional shared or community hangars operated by fixed-base operators (“FBO”). The addition of winglets (the vertical extensions on aircraft wingtips) on most modern business jets inhibits wing-over-wing storage. Aircraft hangars are in high demand and short supply, with some airports compiling waiting lists that can exceed several years.

 

We believe our scalable, real estate-centric business model is uniquely positioned to capture this market opportunity and address the increased imbalance between the supply and demand for private jet storage. We intend to capitalize on the existing hangar supply constraints at major U.S. airports by targeting high-end tenants in markets where there is a shortage of private and FBO hangar space, or where such hangars are or are becoming obsolete.

 

We expect to realize economies of scale in construction through a prototype hangar design replicated at home basing hangar campuses across the United States. This allows for centralized procurement, straightforward permitting processes, efficient development processes, and the best hangar in business aviation. Unlike a service company, our revenues are mostly derived from long-term rental agreements, offering stability and forward visibility of revenues and cash flows. This allows us to fund our development through the public bond market, providing capital efficiency and mitigating refinance risk.

 

In contrast with community hangars and other facilities provided by FBOs, the home basing hangar campuses we develop provide the following features and services:

 

 

private hangar space for exclusive use of the tenant;

 

adjoining configurable lounge and office suites;

 

line crews and services dedicated exclusively to tenants;

 

climate control to mitigate condensation and associated corrosion;

 

features to support in-hangar aircraft maintenance;

 

no-foam fire suppression; and

 

customized software to provide security, control access and monitor hangar space.

 

 

We use a standard set of proprietary prototype hangar designs, which are intended to deliver high quality business aviation facilities, lower construction costs, minimize development risk, expedite permit issuance, and facilitate the implementation of refinements across its portfolio. Hangar features include:

 

 

the ability to accommodate heavy business jets in single configuration, medium jets in twin or triplet configuration, or light jets in multi-configuration;

 

compliance with National Fire Protection Association 409 Group III fire code, eliminating foam fire protection systems, resulting in lower construction costs and operating expenses, as well as eliminating accidental foam discharges and the resultant negative effects on aircraft maintenance and resale value;

 

high-voltage capability, industrial drainage and impervious floors that support in-hangar maintenance and inspections; and

 

control through smartphone application.

 

Our product strategy aims to attract tenants with exclusive access to their aircraft, minimize the risk of damage to aircraft, provide increased access, security and control, facilitate maintenance, and improve pre-flight and post-flight convenience. We believe that with no transient traffic, our home basing hangar campuses offer a shorter time to wheels-up, even during periods of peak traffic. Our research has indicated our current and typical future tenants operate late model business jets that emit less noise than other based aircraft, leading to a decreased average noise footprint at our home basing hangar campuses.  

 

We believe demand for home basing hangar campuses will be driven broadly by the growing size of the business aviation fleet in the United States and the delivery of larger aircraft with taller tail heights. The discovery by first-time flyers in the convenience, control and comfort of general aviation has caused a shift in consumer behavior which we believe will also support increasing demand for home basing hangar campuses.

 

Background

 

The Company was originally known as Yellowstone Acquisition Company. On January 25, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), YAC consummated the business combination with Sky Harbour LLC (“Sky”) pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of August 1, 2021 between YAC and Sky (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, among other things, YAC changed its name to Sky Harbour Group Corporation and the Company was reorganized as an umbrella partnership-C corporation, or “Up-C”, structure in which substantially all of the operating assets of the Company are held by Sky and the Company’s only substantive assets are its equity interests in Sky. Sky was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification 805. While YAC was the legal acquirer of Sky in the Business Combination, because Sky was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Sky became the historical financial statements of the Company upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Corporate Information

 

YAC was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 25, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving YAC and one or more businesses. YAC completed its initial public offering on October 26, 2020. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we changed our name to Sky Harbour Group Corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 136 Tower Road, Suite 205, Westchester County Airport, White Plains, NY 10604. Our telephone number is (212) 554-5990. Our website address is www.skyharbour.group. Information contained on our website or connected thereto does not constitute part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in shares of our Class A Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before purchasing shares of our Class A Common Stock, you should carefully consider the following risk factors as well as those discussed under the section entitled Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and in any free writing prospectus we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. Each of these risk factors, either alone or taken together, could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in shares of our Class A Common Stock. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know of or that we currently believe are immaterial which could also impair our business and financial position. If any of the events described below were to occur, our financial condition, our ability to access capital resources, our results of operations and/or our future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected and the market price of our Class A Common Stock could decline. As a result, you could lose some or all of any investment you may have made or may make in our Class A Common Stock.

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

Our management team will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds we receive in this offering, and we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree.

 

We currently intend to use any net proceeds we receive in this offering for working capital, site acquisition and marketing expenses to fund the growth of our business, capital expenditures, and general corporate purposes; however, we have considerable discretion in the application of the proceeds. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the net proceeds we may receive in this offering are being used by us in a manner agreeable to you. You must rely on management’s judgment regarding the application of these proceeds. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest those net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not immediately improve our profitability or increase the price of our Class A Common Stock. The failure of our management team to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

 

If you purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock in this offering, you may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares.

 

The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our Class A Common Stock outstanding prior to this offering. See the section titled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering. Because the sales of the shares offered hereby will be made directly into the market or in negotiated transactions, the prices at which we sell these shares will vary and these variations may be significant. Purchasers of the shares we sell, as well as our existing stockholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell shares at prices significantly below the price at which they invested. In addition, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future and we issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for our Class A Common Stock, our then existing stockholders may experience dilution and the new securities may have rights senior to those of our Class A Common Stock offered in this offering.

 

Future sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Common Stock, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

 

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future issuances or sales of our securities including sales of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement or the availability of our securities for future issuance or sale, will have on the market price of our Class A Common Stock. Issuances or sales of substantial amounts of our securities, including sales of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, or the perception that such issuances or sales might occur, could negatively impact the market price of our Class A Common Stock and the terms upon which we may obtain additional equity financing in the future.

 

It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the Sales Agreement, or the gross proceeds resulting from those sales.

 

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to B. Riley Securities at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by or to B. Riley Securities under the Sales Agreement will fluctuate based on the market price of the shares of Class A Common Stock during the sales period and limits we set with B. Riley Securities. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our Class A Common Stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales.

 

The Class A Common Stock offered hereby will be sold in at the market offerings, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price for the shares to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

 

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus, as well as the documents incorporated by reference therein, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “potential,” “projects,” “predicts,” “continue,” or “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to:

 

 

expectations regarding the Company’s strategies and future financial performance, including the Company’s future business plans or objectives, prospective performance and commercial opportunities and competitors, services, pricing, marketing plans, operating expenses, market trends, revenues, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and the Company’s ability to invest in growth initiatives;

 

the effects of general economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates levels, and availability of construction materials for our development projects;

 

our limited operating history makes it difficult to predict future revenues and operating results;

 

financial projections may not prove to be reflective of actual financial results;

 

our ability to implement our construction costs mitigation strategies;

 

changes in applicable laws or regulations;

 

the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors;

 

our financial performance; and

 

other risk factors included under “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. These risks and others described under “Risk Factors” may not be exhaustive.

 

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus. In addition, even if our results or operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We may issue and sell shares of our Class A Common Stock having aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $100,000,000 from time to time. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions, and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. Actual net proceeds will depend on the number of shares we sell and the prices at which such sales occur. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities as a source of financing.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, for general corporate purposes, including without limitation, the funding of capital expenditures and working capital needs.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering, if any. As a result, our management will have broad discretion regarding the timing and application of the net proceeds from this offering, if any. Additionally, the amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations.

 

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in shares of our Class A Common Stock, you will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the price per share you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Class A Common Stock immediately after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 was approximately $132,246,000, or $5.47 per share of our Class A Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023 is equal to our total tangible assets minus total liabilities, all divided by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

 

After giving effect to the sale of our Class A Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $100,000,000 in this offering at an assumed offering price of $13.17 per share, representing the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the NYSE American on March 20, 2024, and after deducting estimated offering commissions and expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value would have been approximately $230,111,480, or approximately $7.25 per share of Class A Common Stock, as of March 20, 2024. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $1.77 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of approximately $5.92 per share to investors in this offering. The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis to investors participating in this offering:

 

Assumed public offering price per share

          $ 13.17  
                 

Net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023

  $ 5.47          
                 

Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering

  $ 1.77          
                 

As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023, after giving effect to this offering

          $ 7.25  
                 

Dilution per share to new investors purchasing shares in this offering

          $ 5.92  

 

The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 7,593,014 shares of our Class A Common Stock are sold at a price of $13.17 per share, representing the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the NYSE American on March 20, 2024, for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000,000. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. An increase of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $13.17 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our Class A Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $100,000,000 is sold at that price, would increase our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $7.37 per share and would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $6.80 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $13.17 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our Class A Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $100,000,000 is sold at that price, would decrease our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $7.11 per share and would decrease the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $5.06 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only.

 

The above discussion and table are based on 24,165,523 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023, and excludes as of such date: 

 

 

7,719,779 shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 7,719,779 Private Placement Warrants;

 

 

6,798,964 shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 6,798,964 Public Warrants;

 

 

1,541,600 shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 1,541,600 PIPE Warrants;

 

 

5,211,975 shares of our Class A Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the 2022 Incentive Award Plan (inclusive of 930,705 RSUs that have been granted prior to December 31, 2023 that are unvested);

 

 

42,046,356 shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon the redemption of 42,046,356 Sky Common Units on a one-for-one basis; and

 

 

2,807,750 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon redemption of 2,807,750 Sky Common Units, which are issuable upon conversion of 2,807,750 Sky Equity Incentive Units (inclusive of 575,015 Sky Equity Incentive Units that have been granted prior to December 31, 2023 that are unvested).

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We entered into the Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities on March 27, 2024. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, under this prospectus, we may issue and sell shares of our Class A Common Stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $100,000,000 from time to time through or to B. Riley Securities, acting as sales agent or principal. The Sales Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 of which this prospectus forms a part and is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See the “Where You Can Find More Information” section of this prospectus. Sales of our Class A Common Stock, if any, under this prospectus, will be made by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act.

 

Each time we wish to issue and sell our Class A Common Stock under the Sales Agreement, we will notify B. Riley Securities of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once we have so instructed B. Riley Securities, unless B. Riley Securities declines to accept the terms of such notice, B. Riley Securities has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of B. Riley Securities under the Sales Agreement to sell our Class A Common Stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet. We will pay B. Riley Securities a commission equal to up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of our Class A Common Stock. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse B. Riley Securities for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, payable upon execution of the Sales Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $75,000, plus up to $5,000 per calendar quarter for ongoing diligence arising from the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreement. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding the aforementioned compensation payable to B. Riley Securities under the terms of the Sales Agreement will be approximately $85,000. The remaining sale proceeds, after deducting any other transaction fees, will equal our net proceeds from the sale of such shares.

 

Settlement for sales of Class A Common Stock will occur on the second trading day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and B. Riley Securities in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our Class A Common Stock as contemplated in this prospectus will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and B. Riley Securities may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

In connection with the sale of the Class A Common Stock on our behalf, B. Riley Securities will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of B. Riley Securities will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to B. Riley Securities against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

The offering of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all shares of our Class A Common Stock subject to the Sales Agreement or (2) termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein. We and B. Riley Securities may each terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon five days prior notice.

 

B. Riley Securities and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. In the course of its business, B. Riley Securities may actively trade our securities for its own account or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, B. Riley Securities may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities. To the extent required by Regulation M, B. Riley Securities will not engage in any market making activities involving our Class A Common Stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus.

 

This prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by B. Riley Securities and B. Riley Securities may distribute this prospectus and the accompanying base prospectus electronically.

Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court shall deem proper.

 

Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

 

Additionally, our Certificate of Incorporation eliminates our directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

 

 

for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;;

 

for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or

 

for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

 

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the Company’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

 

 

In addition, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.

 

We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

 

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(7) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act (“Act”) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
