On October 1, 2021, GEM Global Yield LLC SCS ("GEM"), has filed initial pleadings in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, claiming the Company breached the share subscription agreement between the parties by failing to pay a $500,000 fee due on May 4, 2021. GEM is requesting repayment in full of the CAD $2,000,000 promissory note issued by the Company to GEM plus accrued interest and costs and expenses related to collection. As of December 31, 2022, the note payable to GEM is recorded in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and the Company expensed the full outstanding amount capitalized as deferred financing costs of $2,809,031.

On January 18, 2023, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of GEM. GEM subsequently filed a motion seeking $2,000,000 CAD, plus interest totaling $218,493.87, with an additional $506.02 accruing each day after January 30, 2023 until entry of Judgment. GEM also seeks $112,584.50 in attorney's fees and $4,884.86 in costs. In 2022, interest and attorney's fees were recorded in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and other expenses non-operating on the consolidated statement of operation.

On March 29, 2023 Global Crossing Airlines and GEM entered into a final settlement which included a payment plan for the $2,000,000 CAD over nine months plus the extension of the agreement for 12 months. Consequently, GlobalX has adjusted the current liabilities to reverse the previously accrued interest and attorney’s fees no longer due. Upon final payment GEM agrees to file a satisfaction of judgment in County of New York, effectively settling this issue. GlobalX made payments due per final settlement and the Company had no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2023.

On August 11, 2023 Global Crossing Airlines in combination with Top Flight Charters and its minority interest member filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court Southern District of Florida against Shorts Travel Management, Inc (Shorts) and STM Charters, Inc seeking to have an old non-solicit agreement signed by Top Flight' minority interest member to be declared invalid, that Shorts alleged trade secrets do not exist and sought damages arising from the Shorts defamation per se based on numerous false statements made by Shorts in the marketplace. On October 4, 2023, Shorts responded in court by denying the claims made and countersued all parties for breach of contract and theft of trade secrets. This case is currently in the discovery phase.
