QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

These Questions and Answers are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should carefully read the entire document, including any annexes to this proxy statement.

Q.	What is being voted on?	A. You are being asked to vote on (i) a proposal to re-elect one (1) Class I director to the Company’s board of directors and (ii) a proposal to ratify the appointment of WithumSmith+Brown, PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Q.	Why is the Company proposing the proposal to re-elect directors and the proposal to ratify appointment of the Company’s independent auditors?	A: The Director Election Proposal: The Company failed to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within 12 months after its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a). The Company is holding an annual meeting for the election of directors to regain compliance with the listing rules. The Auditor Ratification Proposal: The Company appointed WithumSmith+Brown, PC to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2022 fiscal year. The Company elects to have its stockholders ratify such appointment.

Q.	How do the Company’s executive officers, directors and affiliates intend to vote their shares?	A. All of the Company’s directors, executive officers and their respective affiliates, as well as the Company’s other stockholders immediately prior to its initial public offering (the “Initial Stockholders”), are expected to vote any common stock over which they have voting control (including any public shares owned by them) in favor of the Director Election Proposal and the Auditor Ratification Proposal. On the Record Date, the 6,900,000 insider shares represented approximately 80.3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

Q.	What vote is required to adopt the proposals?	A. Director Election Proposal. Approval of the Class I director being re-elected will require the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the Company’s common stock present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Auditor Ratification Proposal. Approval of the Auditor Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Q.	What if I do not want to approve the Director Election Proposal and the Auditor Ratification Proposal?	A. If you do not want to approve the Director Election Proposal or the Auditor Ratification Proposal, you must abstain, not vote, or vote against each proposal, or with respect to the Director Election Proposal, withhold your vote.

Q.	How do I change my vote?	A. If you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, or revoke your proxy, you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card to Morrow Sodali LLC, the Company’s proxy solicitor, at 333 Ludlow Street, 5th Floor, South Tower, Stamford, CT 06902, (203) 658-9400 (call collect), (800) 662-5200 (call toll-free), or by sending an email to : EAC.info@investor.morrowsodali.com, prior to the date of the Annual Meeting.

Q.	How are votes counted?	A. The Company’s proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali LLC, will be appointed as inspector of election for the meeting. Votes will be counted by the inspector of election, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes. Director Election Proposal. The Director Election Proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the Company’s common stock present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to this proposal will have no effect on the vote. Auditor Ratification Proposal. The Auditor Ratification of Proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to this proposal will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” such proposal.

Q.	If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote them for me?	A. The Director Election Proposal is a non-discretionary item. Your broker can only vote your shares for such proposal if you provide instructions on how to vote. If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under securities exchange rules applicable to member brokerage firms. These rules provide that for routine matters your broker has the discretion to vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. Your broker can use its discretionary authority to vote shares with respect to the Auditor Ratification Proposal.

Q.	What is a quorum requirement?	A. A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the Record Date and entitled to vote are represented by stockholders present at the meeting or by proxy.

		Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, a majority of the votes represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting to another date.

Q.	Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?	A. Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on January 24, 2023 are entitled to have their vote counted at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. On the Record Date, there were 8,587,664 outstanding shares of Company common stock, including 1,687,664 outstanding public shares.

		Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

		Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If on the Record Date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Q.	Does the board recommend voting for the Director Election Proposal and the Auditor Ratification Proposal?	A. Yes. The board of directors recommends that the Company’s stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Director Election Proposal and the Auditor Ratification Proposal.

Q.	What do I need to do now?	A. The Company urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement and to consider how the Director Election Proposal and the Auditor Ratification Proposal will affect you as a Company stockholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q.	What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?	A. You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Company shares.

Q.	Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?	A. The Company will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Our officers and directors will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We have also engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to solicit proxies on our behalf. The Company has agreed to pay Morrow Sodali LLC its customary fees. The Company will also reimburse Morrow Sodali for reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

Q.	Who can help answer my questions?	A. If you have questions about the proposals or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card you should contact Morrow Sodali LLC, the Company’s proxy solicitor, at 333 Ludlow Street, 5th Floor, South Tower, Stamford, CT 06902, (203) 658-9400 (call collect), (800) 662-5200 (call toll-free), or by sending an email to: EAC.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

You may also obtain additional information about the Company from documents filed with the SEC by following the instructions in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

A. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote online at the virtual Annual Meeting or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card, the Internet or telephone. Whether or not you plan to participate in the virtual Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. To vote using the proxy card, please complete, sign and date the proxy card and return it in the prepaid envelope. If you return your signed proxy card before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you are the “beneficial owner” of those shares and those shares are considered as held in “street name.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than directly from us.

You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intends,” and “continue” or similar words.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to the Company or any person acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

BACKGROUND

The Company

Edify Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company formed in order to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Edify was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on September 30, 2020. The Company’s principal executive office is located at 888 7th Avenue, Floor 29, New York, NY 10106.

On January 20, 2021, Edify closed its initial public offering of 27,600,000 units, including the exercise of the over-allotment option to the extent of 3,600,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of its Class A common stock and one-half of one warrant, each whole warrant to purchase one share of its Class A common stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Edify’s final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 19, 2021 (File No. 333-251775). The units from the Edify IPO were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $276,000,000.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Edify IPO and the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, Edify consummated the private sale of 5,640,000 warrants to Colbeck Edify Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”) at $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $5,640,000. A total of $276,000,000, was deposited into the trust account and the remaining net proceeds became available to be used as working capital to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Edify IPO was conducted pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 that became effective on January 14, 2021.

On December 21, 2022, Edify held a special meeting of the stockholders at which the stockholders approved a proposal to amend our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “First Charter Amendment”) to allow Edify to extend the date by which Edify must consummate a business combination from January 20, 2023 (the date that is 24 months from the closing date of Edify’s IPO) to April 20, 2023 (the date that is 27 months from the closing date of Edify’s IPO) (the “Amended Date”) and on a monthly basis up to three times from the Amended Date to July 20, 2023 (the date that is 30 months from the closing date of the IPO) by (i) depositing $225,000 into Edify’s trust account for the three month extension from January 20, 2023 to the Amended Date (the “Initial Extension”) and (ii) depositing $75,000 for each subsequent one-month extension from the Amended Date to July 20, 2023. On January 17, 2023, Edify made a cash contribution of $225,000 to the trust account for the Initial Extension. In addition, the stockholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 25,912,336 shares of Edify’s Class A common stock in connection with the First Charter Amendment. As a result, an aggregate of $259,123,360 (or approximately $10.09 per share) was removed from Edify’s trust account to pay such stockholders and 1,687,664 shares of Edify’s Class A common stock were then issued and outstanding following such redemption. As of January 27, 2023, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there was approximately $17,513,455.16 held in the trust account.

Edify’s units, Class A common stock and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols EACPU, EAC and EACPW, respectively.

On December 18, 2022, Edify entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Edify, Edify Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Edify (“Merger Sub”), and Unique Logistics International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Unique Logistics”), which, among other things, provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Unique Logistics, with Unique Logistics surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Edify (the “Merger,” and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). Following the consummation of the Transactions, Edify will change its name to Unique Logistics International Holdings, Inc. The new public entity following the consummation of the Transactions is referred to herein as the “Combined Company.”

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Unique Logistics (“Unique Logistics Common Stock”) (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Edify’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Edify’s Class A common stock”), equal to the quotient of (i) the Per Share Consideration Value (as defined herein), divided by (ii) $10.00 (subject to equitable adjustment) (the “Common Exchange Ratio”). The “Per Share Consideration Value” equals the quotient of (i) $282 million, divided by (ii) the sum of (A) the number of shares of Unique Logistics Common Stock, plus (B) the number of shares of Unique Logistics Common Stock into which all of the shares of Unique Logistics Convertible Preferred Stock would convert, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Merger, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designations applicable to such Unique Logistics Convertible Preferred Stock. At the Effective Time, (i) each share of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Unique Logistics (“Unique Logistics Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”) (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Edify’s Class A common stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Unique Logistics Common Stock into which such share of Unique Logistics Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designation applicable to such convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Unique Logistics (“Unique Logistics Convertible Preferred Stock”), and (B) the Common Exchange Ratio; (ii) each share of Series B convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Unique Logistics (“Unique Logistics Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”) (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Edify’s Class A common stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Unique Logistics Common Stock into which such share of Unique Logistics Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designation applicable to such Unique Logistics Convertible Preferred Stock, and (B) the Common Exchange Ratio; (iii) each share of Series C convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Unique Logistics (“Unique Logistics Series C Convertible Preferred Stock”) (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Edify’s Class A common stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Unique Logistics Common Stock into which such share of Unique Logistics Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designation applicable to such Unique Logistics Convertible Preferred Stock, and (B) the Common Exchange Ratio; and (iv) each share of Series D convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Unique Logistics (“Unique Logistics Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”) (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Edify’s Class A common stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Unique Logistics Common Stock into which such share of Unique Logistics Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designation applicable to such Unique Logistics Convertible Preferred Stock, and (B) the Common Exchange Ratio.

Unique Logistics stockholders will also have the opportunity to earn up to 1,250,000 additional shares of the Combined Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Combined Company’s Common Stock”), if (i) the trading price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock exceeds $12.00 per share during the seven-year period following the date that is sixty days after the date of the closing of the Transactions or (ii) the Combined Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ consummate a merger, consolidation, tender offer, exchange offer or business combination or sale of all or substantially all of its assets (each, a “Sale Transaction”), in which the fair value of the consideration (including all forms of consideration, including contingent consideration) payable in respect of each outstanding share of the Combined Company’s Common Stock in such Sale Transaction equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (on a fully diluted basis), subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Unique Logistics stockholders will also have the opportunity to earn 1,250,000 additional shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock if the trading price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock exceeds $15.00 per share in the same circumstances as above.

Unique Logistics has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if Edify has not provided the Debt Facility (as defined below) or alternative debt financing by February 5, 2023 (or a later date as determined by Unique Logistics in its sole discretion). “Debt Facility” means the senior secured financing facility in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $35,000,000 to be provided by CB Agent Services LLC (and such other lenders as are party thereto) to Unique Logistics, on such terms and conditions as are set forth in that certain term sheet set forth as Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter, dated as of December 18, 2022, provided by CB Agent Services LLC (and/or such other lenders as are party thereto) to Unique Logistics, consisting of (a) an initial term loan facility in the original principal amount up to $25,000,000, and (b) a $10,000,000 delayed draw term loan facility.

CERTAIN RISK FACTORS

We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

The Sponsor is not controlled by and it does not have substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. Jason Beckman and Jason Colodne, the managers of the Sponsor, are both U.S. citizens. We do not expect the Company to be considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS. However, if our initial business combination with a U.S. business is subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business, FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our initial business combination. If we cannot complete our initial business combination within the time permitted under our organizational documents because the review process drags on beyond such timeframe or because our initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), we may be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company. To avoid that result, on or shortly prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, we will liquidate the securities held in the trust account and instead hold all funds in the trust account in an interest bearing bank demand deposit accoun, which may earn less interest than we otherwise would have if the trust account had remained invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”), relating to, among other things, circumstances in which special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) such as us could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a SPAC to file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the SPAC’s initial public offering. Such SPAC would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to its initial public offering.

There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including a company like ours, that has not entered into a definitive agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to its initial public offering or that does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months after such date. We have not entered into a definitive business combination agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, and do not expect to complete our initial business combination within 24 months of such date. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidate, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our stock and warrants following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless.

The funds in the trust account have, since our IPO, been held only in U.S. government securities within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in United States Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), we will, on or shortly prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter, until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation, to hold all funds in the trust account in an interest bearing bank demand deposit account, which may earn less interest than we otherwise would have if the trust account had remained invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds. This may mean that the amount of funds available for redemption would not increase, or would only minimally increase, thereby reducing the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the trust account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, there is a greater risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the trust account at any time, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the trust account in an interest bearing bank demand deposit account, which may earn less interest than we otherwise would have if the trust account had remained invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Nominees of the Board of Directors

The Edify Board consists of five members. The Edify Board is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Rosamund M. Else-Mitchell, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Ari Horowitz and Susan Wolford, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Jason Beckman and Jason Colodne, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after we consummate our initial business combination.

At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms will then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting (the “Term”) following election and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

Our board of directors has nominated the person identified below for re-election as a Class I director, to serve for the Term and until her successor has been elected and qualified. If the nominee becomes unavailable for election, which is not expected, the person named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for any substitute whom the Board nominates.

If a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, the nominee for Class I director will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election.

Name		Age		Other positions with the Company;		Has served as a director since
Rosamund M. Else-Mitchell		53		Director		January 2021

The following sets forth certain information with respect to our director nominee.

Rosamund M. Else-Mitchell is one of our directors. In December 2020, Ms. Else-Mitchell rejoined Scholastic as President of Education Solutions. Ms. Else-Mitchell is currently a Visiting Teaching Fellow at Harvard GSE and Chair of the Edtech Evidence Exchange K-12 Industry Council. From June 2015 to July 2019, she was Chief Learning Officer and Executive Vice President at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. In this role, she oversaw efficacy research, learning science, and data analytics teams, as well as the company’s teaching and learning platforms and professional learning business. From August 2013 to May 2015, Ms. Else-Mitchell was Executive Vice President of K-12 at Scholastic Education in the U.S. There she was responsible for the company’s product strategy and development, including product and platforms which use technology and analytics to enhance teaching and learning.

She holds a master’s degree from the University of Sydney in Australia and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Oxford, UK. We believe that Ms. Else-Mitchell is qualified to serve on our board of directors based of her extensive education experience.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Management is responsible for assessing and managing risk, subject to oversight by the Board. The Board and, in particular, the Audit Committee, is responsible for overseeing the Company’s processes for assessing and managing risk. Each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with input as appropriate from other appropriate management members, report and provide relevant information directly to either the Board and/or the Audit Committee on various types of identified material financial, reputational, legal, operational, environmental and business risks to which the Company is or may be subject, as well as mitigation strategies for certain salient risks. Various committees of the Board assist the Board in this oversight responsibility in their respective areas of expertise as set forth below:

The Audit Committee assists the Board with the oversight of our financial reporting, independent auditors and internal controls. It is charged with identifying any flaws in business management and recommending remedies, detecting fraud risks and implementing anti-fraud measures. The Audit Committee further discusses the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and management with respect to financial reporting.

The Compensation Committee oversees compensation, retention, succession and other human resources-related issues and risks.

The Board held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, no director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of our board of directors and board committees of which the director was a member.

Our board of directors adopted a code of ethics that applies to our executive officers, directors and employees. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that governs aspects of our business. We have previously filed a copy of our form of Code of Ethics and our audit committee charter as exhibits to the registration statement in connection with our IPO.

Director Independence

The rules of the Nasdaq require that a majority of the Edify Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Susan Wolford, Rosamund M. Else-Mitchell, and Ari Horowitz are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Board Committees

Our Board has established standing committees in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. These committees include an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. Our Board has adopted written charters for each of these committees. Copies of the charters are available as exhibits to the registration statement filed in connection with our IPO. Our Board may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

Audit Committee

The members of our audit committee are Ms. Wolford, Ms. Elsie-Mitchell and Mr. Horowitz, and Mr. Horowitz serves as chair of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and the Edify Board has determined that each member qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

The Audit Committee, which is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, engages Company’s independent accountants, reviewing their independence and performance, and reviews the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the integrity of its financial statements; the audits of the Company’s financial statements and the appointment, compensation, qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors; the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Audit Committee Report

The Company’s audit committee is responsible for supervising the Company’s independent accountants, reviewing the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and reviewing the Company’s accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls, among other things. These responsibilities include reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements. The audit committee does not itself prepare financial statements or perform audits, and its members are not auditors or certifiers of the Company’s financial statements.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibility of appointing and reviewing the services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the audit committee carefully reviews the policies and procedures for the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm, including the scope of the audit, audit fees, auditor independence matters and the extent to which the independent registered public accounting firm may be retained to perform non-audit related services.

With respect to the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, the members of the audit committee:

have reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with the Company’s management and WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;

have discussed with Withum the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T regarding “Communication with Audit Committees”; and

have received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Withum required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Withum’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence and have discussed with Withum its independence from the Company.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements referred to above be included in Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on April 15, 2022.

Compensation Committee

The members of our Compensation Committee are Susan Wolford, Rosamund M. Else-Mitchell and Ari Horowitz, and Mr. Horowitz serves as chair of the compensation committee.

The Compensation Committee reviews annually the Company’s corporate goals and objectives relevant to the officers’ compensation, evaluates the officers’ performance in light of such goals and objectives, determines and approves the officers’ compensation level based on this evaluation; makes recommendations to the Board regarding approval, disapproval, modification, or termination of existing or proposed employee benefit plans, makes recommendations to the Board with respect to non-CEO and non-CFO compensation and administers the Company’s incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans. The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The chief executive officer of the Company may not be present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee with respect to his compensation. The Company’s executive officers do not play a role in suggesting their own salaries. Neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee has engaged any compensation consultant who has a role in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive or director compensation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the Compensation Committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

Compensation Committee Meetings

The Compensation Committee did not hold any meetings during fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of the Compensation Committee has ever been an officer or employee of the Company. None of the Company’s executive officers serves, or has served since inception, as a member of the board of directors, compensation committee or other board committee performing equivalent functions of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as one of the Company’s directors or on the Company’s Compensation Committee.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee, though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Susan Wolford, Rosamund M. Else-Mitchell and Ari Horowitz. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders can mail communications to the Board, c/o Edify Acquisition Corp., Attention: Secretary, at 888 7th Avenue, Floor 29, New York, NY 10106, who will forward the correspondence to each addressee.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, officers and stockholders who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons,” to file initial statements of beneficial ownership of securities and statements of changes in beneficial ownership of securities with respect to the Company’s equity securities with the SEC. All Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all reports that such Reporting Persons file with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports and upon written representations of the Reporting Persons received by us, we believe that all transactions were timely reported during the fiscal year ended 2022.

Executive Compensation

Employment Agreements

We have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers and have not made any agreements to provide benefits upon termination of employment.

Executive Officers and Director Compensation

No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. No compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. However, such individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors and Audit Committee, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

In October 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares of Edify’s Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On January 14, 2021, Edify effected a stock dividend of 0.2 share for each outstanding share of Edify’s Class B common stock, resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,900,000 shares of Edify’s Class B common stock. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock upon completion of Edify IPO.

The Sponsor also purchased an aggregate of 5,640,000 private placement warrants for a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of Edify IPO. As such, the Sponsor’s interest in the Edify IPO was valued at $5,640,000, based on the number of private placement warrants purchased. Each private placement warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Edify’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

Edify entered into an Administrative Services Agreement pursuant to which it pays the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

The Sponsor, officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on its behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Edify’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by Edify to its Sponsor, officers, directors or its or any of their respective affiliates and determines which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on Edify’s behalf.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Lock-Up Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Edify and certain existing stockholders of Unique Logistics who, in each case, will receive Edify Class A Common Stock in connection with the Transactions, entered into a lock-up agreement to be effective upon the Closing (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which each of them agreed not to, without Edify’s prior written consent, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract, or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Edify Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Edify Class A Common Stock owned by him, her, or it (the “Covered Shares”), other than to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Covered Shares, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) (each, a “Transfer”), until the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, except that (A) if the Closing Share Price (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement) is equal to or exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days within any period of 30 consecutive trading days beginning at least 150 days after the Closing Date, the lock-up will automatically terminate, (ii) certain stockholders will be permitted to sell up to 1.5% or 6.0% of their Covered Shares following the resale registration statement to be filed by the Edify with respect to the Covered Shares being declared effective by the SEC, and (iii) certain stockholders will be permitted to Transfer, beginning on the date that is six months after the Closing Date, up to 50% of such stockholder’s other Covered Shares owned by it or its affiliates on such date.

Sponsor Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Edify, the Sponsor and the Insiders entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement. The following summary of the Sponsor Support Agreement is qualified by reference to the complete text of the form of Sponsor Support Agreement. All stockholders are encouraged to read the form of Sponsor Support Agreement in its entirety for a more complete description of the terms and conditions thereof.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor agreed (i) to waive certain anti-dilution rights that may have otherwise entitled the Sponsor to more than one share of Edify’s Class A common stock per share upon conversion of the Sponsor’s founder shares on a one-to-one basis into shares of Edify’s Class A common stock in connection with the consummation of the Merger; (ii) to forfeit 1,713,139 of its founder shares contingent upon the closing of the Transactions; (iii) to support the Transactions, including agreeing to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement at the special meeting; (iv) not to transfer founder shares or private placement warrants between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing; and (v) contingent upon the closing of the Transactions, not to transfer any shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Edify (or shares of Edify’s Class A common stock issuable upon conversion thereof), or any warrant entitling the Sponsor to purchase one share of Edify’s Class A common stock per warrant, in each case, for a period of 12 months following the date of the closing of the Transactions subject to potential early termination if the trading price of Edify’s Class A common stock trades above $12.00 per share for a period specified therein.

Voting and Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Edify and Unique Logistics entered into the Voting and Support Agreement with Frangipani Trade Services, Inc. and Great Eagle Freight Limited, who collectively hold sufficient shares to deliver the required approval of the Transactions by Unique Logistics’s existing shareholders (the “Supporting Company Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Supporting Company Stockholders agreed (i) to deliver a written consent to the transactions on the second business day following the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; and (ii) not to transfer their Unique Logistics capital stock.

Related Party Policy

Our code of ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the Audit Committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed the lesser of $120,000 in any calendar year and 1% of the average of the Company’s total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Our Audit Committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions, including the payment of any compensation, will require prior approval by our Audit Committee and a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors, or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our Audit Committee and a majority of our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate our initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our officers, directors or initial stockholders, unless we have obtained (i) an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or other firm that commonly provides valuation opinions, that the business combination is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the approval of a majority of our disinterested and independent directors (if we have any at that time). Furthermore, in no event will any of our initial stockholders, officers, directors or their respective affiliates be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other similar compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination.

Required Vote

The Director Election Proposal will be approved by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the Company’s common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to this proposal will have no effect on the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE
“FOR” THE RE-ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.
