CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) of Wheels Up Experience Inc. (“Wheels Up”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”), contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future circumstances or events based on certain assumptions and include any statement, projection or forecast that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside of the control of Wheels Up, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: (i) Wheels Up’s growth plans, market conditions in the private aviation industry and the anticipated success of Wheels Up’s sales efforts and service offerings, including its membership program and charter solutions; (ii) Wheels Up’s ongoing business transformation, including its efforts to scale its premium aircraft fleet, dispose of retired legacy aircraft and implement operational efficiency and cost control initiatives, and its ability to execute such transformation on the timeline that it currently anticipates and realize the anticipated commercial, financial and operational benefits during and after the expected period of transition; (iii) the potential benefits or impacts to Wheels Up from strategic actions, including, among others, acquisitions and divestitures, new debt or equity financings, refinancings of existing debt and commercial arrangements; (iv) aircraft that Wheels Up is under contract to acquire or expects to acquire in the future, including its ability to consummate such acquisitions on the timeline it currently expects and fund the purchase price for such aircraft using available cash on-hand or other sources of available liquidity, including current or future debt financings, and the anticipated future business, financial and operational benefits to Wheels Up due to the acquisition of such aircraft; (v) Wheels Up’s ability to achieve its financial goals on the most recent schedule that it has announced; (vi) Wheels Up’s future liquidity, working capital levels, cash flows, debt and capital resources, and its ability to perform under its contractual and debt obligations in the future; and (vii) the impacts of general economic and geopolitical conditions on Wheels Up’s business and the aviation industry, including due to, among others, changes in interest rates, inflation, foreign currencies, taxes, tariffs and trade policies, domestic and foreign hostilities, government shutdowns or funding changes, and other factors that influence consumer and business spending decisions or cost dynamics. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. We have identified certain known material risk factors applicable to Wheels Up under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 10, 2026, as well as in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,”Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. It is not always possible for us to predict how new risks and uncertainties that arise from time to time may affect us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report.
