Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Wheels Up Experience Inc. (the “Company” or “Wheels Up”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 14, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the Reverse Stock Split (as defined in Item 5.03 below) that became effective immediately after the close of trading on The New York Stock Exchange on April 24, 2026 (the “Effective Time”). Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split on April 24, 2026, the Company, in its capacity as the managing member of Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct subsidiary of the Company (“WUP”), entered into Amendment No. 4 to Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, dated as of April 24, 2026 (the “WUP LLC Agreement Amendment”), to, among other things, update certain provisions to reflect adjustments to outstanding and issuable membership interests in WUP as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
The foregoing summary of the WUP LLC Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the WUP LLC Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The information provided in Item 5.03 (Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year) of this Current Report below is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
As previously announced, at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders authorized an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on November 15, 2023 (the “A&R Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect, at the discretion of the Board at any time prior to the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, (i) a reverse stock split of Wheels Up’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at a reverse stock split ratio of not less than 1-for-5 and not greater than 1-for-20, with an exact ratio within that range as may be determined by the Board at a later date (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and (ii) contemporaneously with the Reverse Stock Split, a reduction in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock by a ratio corresponding to the reverse stock split ratio (the “Authorized Share Reduction”). On April 13, 2026, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-20 shares of Common Stock (the “Ratio”), together with a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 1.5 billion shares of Common Stock to 75 million shares.
On April 24, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Delaware Secretary of State, which amended Section 4.1 of the A&R Certificate of Incorporation, effective as of the Effective Time, to (i) give effect to the Reverse Stock Split, (ii) reduce the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock and Common Stock of the Company authorized for issuance to 100 million and 75 million, respectively, taking into account the Reverse Stock Split, Authorized Share Reduction and Ratio, and (iii) describe the treatment of any fractional shares of Common Stock upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split.
The foregoing descriptions of the A&R Certificate of Incorporation and Certificate of Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the A&R Certificate of Incorporation, which was originally filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 16, 2023 and is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 3.1, and the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2020 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp., a blank check company and the predecessor in-interest to Wheels Up (“ASPL”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, certain terms of the Company’s issued and outstanding redeemable public warrants and
private warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock were further adjusted to reflect: (i) a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, which as of the Effective Time resulted in each Warrant being exercisable for 1/200th of one (1) share of Common Stock; (ii) an increase in the exercise price per whole share of Common Stock to $2,300.00; and (iii) the stated redemption prices per Warrant being proportionately reduced by the inverse of the Ratio. The Company does not intend to amend the terms of the Warrant Agreement to reflect the corresponding adjustments as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The Warrants are scheduled to expire on July 13, 2026, subject to earlier exercise or redemption.
The foregoing description of the Warrant Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agreement, which was originally filed as Exhibit 4.1 to ASPL’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 25, 2020 and is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 4.1.

GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
April 24, 2026
Wheels Up Experience Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify as follows:
1.The name of the Corporation is “Wheels Up Experience Inc.”
2.The Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 15, 2023.
3.This Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation amends the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, effective immediately after the close of trading on The New York Stock Exchange on April 24, 2026 (the “Effective Time”).
4.The amendment set forth in this Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
5.The text of Section 4.1 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is amended in its entirety and shall be replaced with the following, effective as of the Effective Time:
Section 4.1 Authorized Capital Stock.
(a) The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, which the Corporation is authorized to issue, is 100,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 75,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”), and (ii) 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”). The number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of such class or series thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, and no vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor, unless a vote of any such holder is required pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (this
“Certificate of Incorporation”) or any Preferred Stock Designation (as defined below) designating a series of Preferred Stock.
(b) Immediately after the close of trading on The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on April 24, 2026 (the “Effective Time”), each 20 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation in treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time will be reclassified and combined into one (1) issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock, without any action required on the part of the Corporation or the holders of such Class A Common Stock. In addition, the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock shall be contemporaneously reduced proportionally such that the total number of authorized shares of capital stock and Class A Common Stock shall be as set forth in Section 4.1(a) hereof. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued in connection with the reclassification and combination of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.1(b). Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash (without interest) from the Corporation’s transfer agent in lieu of such fractional shares. Any such stockholder who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares that holds Class A Common Stock (i) in book-entry form shall submit a transmission letter to the Corporation’s transfer agent to receive payment in lieu of receipt of fractional shares, (ii) in certificated form, if any, shall receive payment in lieu of receipt of fractional shares upon the surrender of the stockholder’s certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Class A Common Stock (“Old Certificates”) to the Corporation’s transfer agent, or (iii) in another uncertificated form either registered in such stockholder’s own name or through a broker or other nominee will receive payment from Corporation’s transfer agent in lieu of receipt of fractional shares, in each case such payment to be in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (y) the closing price per share of the Class A Common Stock as reported on the NYSE as of the Effective Time, as adjusted by the applicable reverse stock split ratio described in the first sentence of this Section 4.1(b), by (z) the fraction of one share owned by such stockholder taking into account the reverse stock split. Each Old Certificate shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class A Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the treatment of any fractional shares as described above.
