On September 27, 2022, Mesa Air Group, Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiary, Mesa Airlines ("Mesa"), and United Airlines, Inc. ("United") entered into an Aircraft Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), which provides for the sale of 18 CRJ-700 aircraft owned by Mesa to United.  The Company expects the net proceeds from the sale of such aircraft will be approximately $50,000,000.
The Purchase Agreement provides that each aircraft will be delivered "as is, where is" subject to and with the benefit of a related lease agreement.  Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is providing customary representations and warranties for a transaction of this type including authorization, no conflicts, validity of agreement, regulatory matters, good and marketable title, airworthiness, no liens, aircraft records, manufacturer warranties, and no brokers' fees. United has agreed to deposit a specified sum per aircraft with FAA counsel, to be applied toward the purchase of each aircraft.  The closing of the sale of each aircraft is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the execution of mutually acceptable sale and lease assignment and assumption documentation, and United's satisfactory inspection of the aircraft.  The Purchase Agreement provides for a downward adjustment in the purchase price based on a formula set forth therein if the closing date in respect of an aircraft occurs after January 31, 2023.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
