# 📌 1) Merger with flyExclusive pushed out to April 30, 2026 (WHAT THE EHF)
JTAI and flyExclusive recently extended their merger agreement outside date to **April 30, 2026** and both sides say they’re still committed to closing in **Q1 2026**. This is confirmed in the *official filings* (Form 8-K) and press releases.
They also **removed a $50M financing requirement**, saying JTAI has enough cash to satisfy minimum cash conditions, and flyExclusive agreed that JTAI can pursue other deals *after* the merger closes. That’s a notable shift which means NO mandatory outside financing now.
# 📈 2) 13D that led to shareholders rights
* a **13D filer**,
* in a **volatile, low-float stock**,
* during a **live strategic transaction**,
the **textbook fiduciary response** is a **limited-duration shareholder rights plan**.
# What the rights plan does:
* Triggers if any holder exceeds a set ownership threshold (often \~10–15%)
* Dilutes the acquirer by allowing **other shareholders to buy shares at a discount**
* Makes a hostile or coercive takeover **economically unattractive**
* Buys the board **time and leverage**
**The causal chain looks like this:**
1. 📄 **13D filed** → signals active accumulation + possible intent
2. ⚠️ Board evaluates risk amid merger + pivot + low valuation
3. ⚖️ Fiduciary duty requires protection of *all* shareholders
4. 🛡️ **Rights plan adopted** to:
* protect merger integrity,
* prevent coercive accumulation,
* preserve negotiating power,
* ensure value realization happens **after** strategic milestones
This is **defensive, not hostile** — and very common in situations like this.
# 🧠➡️ The rights will **expire on **💠 February 12, 2027 💠 unless they are redeemed or exchanged earlier by the Board of Directors.
📌 Key details of the plan:
* The rights are distributed on Feb 24, 2026 as a dividend to holders of record.
* They become exercisable only if a person or group acquires 10% or more of the company’s common stock.
* Before that 10% trigger, the Board can redeem the rights for $0.01 each or exchange them for common stock.
📍 In short: the plan is designed to protect shareholders during a specific period of vulnerability (roughly 1 year from adoption) and will end by Feb 12, 2027 unless the company ends it sooner.
I have no idea how this could effect the stock price. If someone buys 15% does that mean I get to buy shares at a discount? How will that process even work? If anyone truly understands what this means, please let me know.
From my regarded brain it sounds like the owners are preventing large buyers from stepping in and buying which sounds bad, and I am confused if they want to people people out why they wouldn't just buy the stock themselves.... Are they broke like us?
Thank you for humoring my low IQ DD. I've learned a lot, and it hasn't turned into an expensive lesson, yet, but I hope it returns well for us.

I want certain countries to be poorer; destitute in fact, so no issue with this. Americans generally buy Chinese slop. I'm okay with them buying much less Chinese slop, and I hope the already deflated Chinese economy goes to 0.
Agreed, I'm fine with not tariffing bananas. I said above the roll out has been incoherent.
> Less innovative
I don't agree with this at all. Innovation is downstream from culture and IQ, and market structure, not trade policy. In my opinion.
Free trade under the Adam Smith AND David Ricardo competitive and comparative models both preconditioned that trade as not creating trade surpluses. Look it up.
Not sure there's even been a time when free trade existed, but we haven't had it and will not have it moving forward. It's an economic abstraction in the same way a perfectly competitively market is.
Here's what US trade rep Greer told Davos earlier in the year. This is what we're getting. Links to the video and speech text are at the bottom of the passage.

Standard low IQ response. Stocks don’t go straight up.

It would be hilarious to see how much lower the avg IQ of a conservative is vs a liberal

Marci Silfrain, a highly successful futures trader who secured second place in the 2025 World Cup Trading Championships with a 206%–320% return says it took her 10 years of studying charts to finally start clicking. Ten years. But I guess it’s all about market IQ. Could be less, could be more depending on the individual.

You're on Reddit, buddy. The entire site is a left-wing echochamber of low IQ individuals so it's incredible it took a potentially slightly right leaning post for you to come to this conclusion.

lmaooo GEN Zers are the so low IQ LMAO.

By brain I mean you need to improve your IQ and knowledge.
But in the event you are wrong, it doesnt matter because discipline saves you. No matter how much IQ or knowledge you have, you will definitely be wrong sometimes.

Software was never considered a core component of S&P Global value.
It’s no more than a distribution channel. Cap IQ only serves as a platform where their clients access their data.
There is no moat in simply software, every start up can do that. Not since 2 weeks ago with Anthropic but since 25 years already.
Same for Bloomberg the moat is not on the software at all but on the immediate news and switching costs for banks.
I agree with you on the multiple compression but this is temporary. As soon as management release revenue from AI licensing and effectively profit from it as an incremental distribution channel it will act as a massive catalyst in my opinion.
AI cannot at all generate data, AI model are not even trained on Landlords data they just get to pull out data when you send a query so no threat on that.
The market is freaking out because Anthropic can pull a DCF together tho a DCF is merely a projection of revenue and expenses discounted back to present value, this is basic math or software.
AI data consumption will be substantially more important than human consumption as AI as infinite compute and time to model out possible scenarios.
On the credit side this is basically a regulatory and government secured monopoly. It’s like comparing Wikipedia to a certified medical encyclopedia.
The market is significantly undervaluing the moat on first data.

Take ownership of being low IQ & too lazy to research

Well said @deaderthanwho . These people with low IQ have no understanding of either economy nor ai. Putting these kinds of ideas into peoples mind, who might be struggling already, there would be so many people who might have been laid off and imagine coming to reddit for help and this shit is what you get. Definitely this dude's life is really sad and dark.
I can understand if there was a true logical argument around it. But I have had enough of people throwing buzzwords around and trying to get attention. Ai, usd , trump administration. We have been essentially talking about the same negative shit for two years.

Feel like the only one here with real autism. Lotta low IQ chuds in here lately

Your IQ must be less than the room temperature

I love these people that come in with karma equivalent to their IQ thinking they know everything about precious metals.

that has been debunked so many times only people with room temp IQ still believe it. You know what happens when someone dies with unpaid loans?  They get paid back from the estate until there are no more funds left or the loan is repaid

The “China copy” crowd incidentally have an average IQ of below 70.

LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY THING LOWER THAN YOUR GAINS IS YOUR IQ, YOU ABSOLUTE BUMBACLOT

great high IQ comment as one can expect from a swedish leftie. ISK has lost a lot of value ever since its conception, and for certain investments it is a guaranteed LOSS because of how expensive it has become. You can no longer own bonds in this vehicle without taking a guaranteed loss. I guess that is insanely good for investing.

This year alone, the government will take a 20% increased cut as compared to 2025. If you look at a 5 year period the increase is 190%. Insanely good for investing.

It’s a 200 IQ play based on legit data and if you buy his program for 759 bucks then you too can learn this Strat. But wait buy now and you get his live trading stream and it’s 25% off….
