INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K
Vertical Aerospace Ltd. (the “Company”) received a shareholders’ requisition dated 30 August 2024, issued by Stephen Fitzpatrick, in his capacity as the holder of greater than 10.0% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, requesting the directors of the Company to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) for the sole purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing a number of resolutions to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”). Among other things, the proposed amendments would remove the requirement for any of the directors Mr. Fitzpatrick is entitled to appoint under the Articles to be independent (subject to NYSE minimum independence requirements), and introduce a right for shareholders of the Company holding a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares to remove any director by written instruction.
The Company hereby furnishes a circular to the Company’s shareholders as Exhibits 99.1, providing notice of the EGM to the Company’s shareholders — to be held at 10:00 a.m. (GMT) on September 30, 2024 at the offices of the Company: 4th Floor, United House, 9 Pembridge Road, London W11 3JY, United Kingdom — and including a form of proxy card in connection with the proposals sought to be adopted by the EGM.
On September 17, 2024, the Company issued a press release in relation to the calling of the EGM, a copy of which is furnished as 99.2 hereto.
