As
previously announced, on February 24, 2023, Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“Oxbridge”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among Oxbridge, OXAC Merger Sub I, Inc., a direct,
wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“First Merger Sub”), Summerlin Aviation LLC (f/k/a OXAC Merger Sub II, LLC), a direct,
wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“Second Merger Sub”“), and Jet Token Inc. Pursuant to the Business Combination
Agreement, among other things, (i) Oxbridge will domesticate as a Delaware corporation and change its name to “Jet.AI Inc.”
(“Jet.AI”) in connection with the domestication, (ii) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Jet Token (the “First
Merger”), with Jet Token surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jet.AI, and (iii) Jet Token (as the surviving entity
of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and, together with the Domestication,
the First Merger, and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”),
with Second Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jet.AI.
Incentive Plan
On
August 7, 2023, Oxbridge held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to approve the Business Combination
and certain other related proposals related. As further described below in Item 5.07, at the Meeting, Oxbridge’s shareholders approved
and adopted the 2023 Jet.AI Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Previously, Oxbridge’s board of directors
approved the Incentive Plan, subject to the approval by Oxbridge’s shareholders at the Meeting and subject to, and conditioned
upon, the consummation of the Business Combination.
The
Incentive Plan, will become effective as of the closing of the Business Combination, will provide for the grant of non-statutory and
incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance
awards, non-employee director awards, and other stock-based awards intended to advance the interests of Jet.AI and its stockholders by
enabling Jet.AI and its subsidiaries and affiliates to attract and retain qualified individuals to perform services. Subject to adjustment
in accordance with the Incentive Plan, 394,329 shares of Jet.AI common stock will initially be reserved for issuance under the Incentive
Plan. The number of shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan will be subject to an annual increase on the first day of
each calendar year, beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on January 1, 2033, equal to: (A) such amount of shares of common stock such
that the total number of shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan, plus the total number of shares reserved for issuance
under outstanding Jet Token Options and Jet Token RSU Awards (as such terms are defined in the Business Combination Agreement) assumed
in connection with the Business Combination, is equal to ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares then issued and outstanding
as of the last day of the prior fiscal year; and (B) such smaller number of shares of common stock as may be determined by the board
of directors of Jet.AI.
Appointment of Officers
Effective upon
the closing of the Business Combination, Michael D. Winston will be appointed to serve as Jet.AI’s Executive Chairman and will
be appointed to serve as Jet.AI’s interim Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and George Murnane will serve as Jet.AI’s
interim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) until Jet.AI completes its ongoing search for a long-term CFO, at which point Mr.
Winston will step down from his role as interim CEO and Mr. Murnane will transition from Jet.AI’s interim CFO to its CEO. The board
of directors believes that Mr. Winston and Mr. Murnane are each qualified to fulfill the duties of their interim roles. Any additional
disclosure regarding Mr. Winston and Mr. Murnane, including that may be required under Items 401 and 404 of Regulation SK, together with
a description of their compensation arrangements, will be included in a Current Report under Form 8-K filed with the SEC in connection
with the closing of the Business Combination. The below biographies provide information regarding their qualifications and professional
experience.
Michael D.
Winston, CFA founded Jet Token in 2018 and has served as its Executive Chairman since Jet Token’s founding. Mr. Winston
began his career in 1999 with Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation and later worked as a portfolio manager at Millennium Partners LP.
In 2012, Mr. Winston formed the Sutton View group of companies, an alternative asset management platform where he advised one of the
largest academic endowments in the world. Mr. Winston received an MBA in Finance and Real Estate from Columbia Business School in 2005,
and a BA in Economics from Cornell University in 1999. While at Cornell he studied for a year at the London School of Economics and at
age 18 won a $1 million prize from IBM for his first startup company. Mr. Winston is a CFA Charterholder, and a member of the Economic
Club of New York. We believe Mr. Winston is qualified to serve as a director because of his operational and historical expertise gained
from serving as Jet Token’s Founder and Executive Chairman.
George Murnane
has served as Jet Token’s Chief Executive Officer since September 2019. Mr. Murnane has over 28 years of senior executive experience,
including 25 years as a Chief Operating Officer and/or Chief Financial Officer in the air transportation and aircraft industry, including
as Chief Executive Officer for ImperialJet S.a.l from 2013 to 2019, Chief Operating Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer of VistaJet
Holdings, S.A. in 2008, Chief Financial Officer of Mesa Air Group from 2002 to 2007, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer
of North-South Airways from 2000 to 2002, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of International
Airline Support Group from 1996 to 2002 and Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Atlas Air, Inc. from 1995 to 1996.
From 2009 until he joined Jet Token, Mr. Murnane was a managing partner of Barlow Partners, a consulting services firm providing operational
and financial management, merger and acquisition, financing and restructuring expertise to industrial and financial companies. In addition,
Mr. Murnane was a senior banker for Merril Lynch & Co. from 1986 to 1985 where he banked the transportation industry. Mr. Murnane
has a CPA and received an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a BA in Economics from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1980. We believe Mr. Murnane is qualified to serve as a director because of his expertise gained from serving as Jet
Token’s Chief Executive Officer and his extensive financial experience, including 13 years as CFO of publicly traded companies.
A
summary of the Incentive Plan is included in the section entitled “Proposal No. 5 – The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal”
beginning on page 158 of Oxbridge’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

or waiver of certain closing conditions as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Following the consummation of the Business Combination,
the Jet.AI common stock, public warrants, and merger consideration warrants are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC under the symbols “JTAI,” “JTAIW,” and “JTAIZ,” respectively.
Item
7.01. |
Regulation

that may be accessed through, the websites referenced herein is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this filing.
Participants
in the Solicitation
The
Company and its directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s

about the directors and executive officers of the Company is set forth in the Registration Statement, and is available free of charge
at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Oxbridge Acquisition Corp., Suite 201, 42 Edward Street, George
Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-9006, Cayman Islands.
Jet
Token Inc. and its directors and executive officers may also be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders
of the Company in connection with the proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and
information regarding their interest in the proposed Business Combination is set forth in the Registration Statement.
No
Offer or Solicitation
This
Current Report on Form 8-K is not a solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of
the proposed transactions and will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there
be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect
to the proposed Business Combination, including statements regarding the benefits of the Business Combination, the anticipated timing
of the Business Combination, the services offered by Jet Token Inc. and the markets in which it operates, and Jet Token Inc.’s
projected future results. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,”
“opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will
be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions,
projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject
to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. As a result, caution must
be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. The following factors, among others,
could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: the occurrence of any event,
change or other circumstances that could give rise to an amendment or termination of the Business Combination Agreement and the proposed
transaction contemplated thereby; the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement due to
the failure to satisfy the conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; the inability to project with any certainty the
amount of cash proceeds remaining in the Oxbridge trust account at the closing of the transaction; the inability of the company post-closing
to obtain or maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq following the business combination; the amount of costs related to the
business combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties following the announcement of the
business combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the ability of Jet Token Inc. to meet its post-closing financial and
strategic goals, due to, among other things, competition; the ability of the company post-closing to grow and manage growth profitability
and retain its key employees; and the possibility that the company post-closing may be adversely affected by other economic, business,
and/or competitive factors. The valuation of the securities to be distributed in the transaction also constitutes a forward-looking statement,
with the common stock component of the transaction valued based upon a $10.00 valuation which is intended to approximate the liquidation
value of the common stock at closing, but may not represent the post-closing value of the shares, and with the warrant component of the
transaction valued at $8.16 per warrant by application of a Black-Scholes formula developed by Jet Token Inc. management, which may not
equate to the actual post-closing value of the warrants. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and
uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Oxbridge’s registration on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257998),
the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-270848), as amended, and other documents filed by Oxbridge from time to time with
the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ
materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.
Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Jet Token Inc. and Oxbridge assume no obligation and
do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Forward-Looking
Statements
This
press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed
business combination between Jet.AI and Oxbridge (the “Business Combination”), including statements regarding the benefits
of the Business Combination, the anticipated timing of the Business Combination, the services offered by Jet.AI and the markets in which
it operates, and Jet.AI’s projected future results. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,”
“project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,”
“future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,”
“will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements
are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as
a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results.
As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made.
The
following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements:
the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to an amendment or termination of the Business Combination
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between Oxbridge, Oxbridge Merger Sub I, Inc., Oxbridge Merger Sub II, LLC, and Jet.AI dated (the
“Business Combination Agreement”) and the proposed transaction contemplated thereby; the inability to complete the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Oxbridge or Jet.AI or
other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; the inability to project with any certainty the amount of cash proceeds
remaining in the Oxbridge trust account at the closing of the transaction; the inability of the company post-closing to obtain or maintain
the listing of its securities on Nasdaq following the business combination; the amount of costs related to the business combination;
the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties following the announcement of the business combination;
changes in applicable laws or regulations; the ability of Jet.AI to meet its post-closing financial and strategic goals, due to, among
other things, competition; the ability of the company post-closing to grow and manage growth profitability and retain its key employees;
and the possibility that the company post-closing may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors.
The valuation of the securities to be distributed in the transaction also constitutes a forward-looking statement, with the common stock
component of the transaction valued based upon a $10 valuation which is intended to approximate the liquidation value of the common stock
at closing, but may not represent the post-closing value of the shares, and with the warrant component of the transaction valued at approximately
$8.16 per warrant by application of a Black-Scholes formula developed by Jet.AI management, which may not equate to the actual post-closing
value of the warrants. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk
Factors” section of Oxbridge’s registration statement on Form S-1 which became effective on August 11, 2021 (File No. 333-257998),
the Registration Statement and the amendments thereto on Form S-4 as discussed above (File No. 333-270848) and other documents filed
by Oxbridge from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Oxbridge and Jet.AI caution that
the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement
of fact or probability. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance
on forward-looking statements, and Jet.AI and Oxbridge assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
