Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 1, 2021, Yellowstone Acquisition Company (the "Company" or
"Yellowstone") announced that it had entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement
with Sky Harbour LLC ("Sky"), a developer of private aviation
infrastructure focused on building, leasing and managing business aviation
hangars by which Sky would exchange its securities for securities of the Company
(the "Business Combination"). On January 7, 2022, the Company filed a
definitive proxy statement (the "Definitive Proxy Statement") with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with the proposed
Business Combination and has mailed the Definitive Proxy Statement
and other relevant documents to its stockholders in connection with a meeting of
stockholders to be held on January 25, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
On January 17, 2022, the Company and ACM ARRT VII E LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("Seller"), entered into an agreement (the "Forward Purchase
Agreement") for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the "Forward Purchase
Transaction"). Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, (a)
Seller intends, but is not obligated, to purchase shares (the "Subject Shares")
of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the
"Shares") after the date of the Forward Purchase Agreement from holders of
Shares (other than the Company, Boston Omaha Corporation or their affiliates)
who have redeemed Shares or indicated an interest in redeeming Shares pursuant
to the redemption rights set forth in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
(as defined below) in connection with the Business Combination (such holders,
"Redeeming Holders") and (b) Seller has agreed to waive all redemption rights
with respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination
so long as the Forward Purchase Agreement and the Equity Purchase Agreement are
not terminated prior to the closing of the Business Combination and the closing
of the Business Combination occurs prior to the Outside Closing Date (as defined
in the Equity Purchase Agreement). The number of Subject Shares shall be no more
than the lesser of (i) 7,000,000 and (ii) the maximum number of Shares such that
Seller does not beneficially own greater than 9.9% of the Shares on a
post-combination pro forma basis. If the Seller acquires less than 2,500,000
Subject Shares, it has agreed to acquire additional Shares ("Additional Shares")
from the Company in a private placement which will be subject to the Forward
Purchase Agreement such that the sum of the number of Additional Shares and the
number of Subject Shares will be equal to 2,500,000.
The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that (a) one local business day
following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will pay to
Seller, out of the funds held in the Company's trust account, an amount (the
"Prepayment Amount") equal to the Redemption Price (as defined in Section 9.2 of
the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company including
any changes reflected in the Certificate of Correction (the " Certificate of
Incorporation") per Share (the "Initial Price") multiplied by the aggregate
number of Subject Shares and Additional Shares, if any, (together, the "Number
of Shares") on the date of such prepayment, (b) on the first local business day
of each calendar quarter after the closing of the Business Combination, the
Company will pay to Midtown Madison Management LLC a structuring fee in the
amount of $2,500 per quarter and (c) on the date occurring one settlement cycle
following the valuation date (which shall occur on the earlier of (i) 18 months
after the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) the date specified by
Seller in a written notice (not earlier than the day such notice is effective)
that, during any 30 consecutive scheduled trading day-period following the
closing of the Business Combination, the volume weighted average trading price
per Share for 20 scheduled trading days during such period shall have been equal
to or less than $5.00 per Share), the Seller shall deliver to the Company the
Number of Shares less any Terminated Shares, as described below.
From time to time and on any scheduled trading day after the closing of the
Business Combination, Seller may sell Subject Shares or Additional Shares (or
any other shares of common stock or other securities of the Company) at its
absolute discretion in one or more transactions, publicly or privately, and, in
connection with such sales, terminate the Forward Purchase Transaction in whole
or in part in an amount corresponding to the number of Subject Shares or
Additional Shares sold (the "Terminated Shares"). At the end of each calendar
month during which any such early termination occurs, Seller will pay to the
Company an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares terminated
during such calendar month and (y) the Reset Price, where "Reset Price" refers
to, initially, the Initial Price, provided that upon the closing of any
follow-on offering of Shares registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, at a price per Share that is lower than the then current Reset Price,
the Reset Price will be reduced to equal such price per Share.
Seller's obligations to the Company under the Forward Purchase Agreement are
secured by perfected liens on (i) the cash proceeds of any sale, transfer or
other disposition of the Subject Shares, (ii) the deposit account (the "Deposit
Account") into which such cash proceeds (subject to certain carve-outs) are
required to be deposited and (iii) proceeds and products of the foregoing. The
Deposit Account will be subject to a customary deposit account control agreement
in favor of the Company.

Combination.

the following:
Forward Purchase Agreement
On January 17, 2022, Yellowstone and ACM ARRT VII E LLC ("Seller"), entered into
an agreement (the "FPA") for an Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the "FP
Transaction"). Pursuant to the terms of the FPA, (a) Seller intends, but is not
obligated, to purchase shares (the "Subject Shares") of Class A common stock of
Sky (the "Shares") after the date of the FPA from holders of Shares (other than
the Company, Boston Omaha Corporation or their affiliates) who have redeemed
Shares or indicated an interest in redeeming Shares pursuant to the redemption
rights set forth in the Company's charter in connection with the Business
Combination and (b) Seller has agreed to waive all redemption rights with
respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination so
long as the FPA and the Equity Purchase Agreement are not terminated prior to
the closing of the Business Combination and the closing of the Business
Combination occurs prior to the Outside Closing Date (as defined in the Equity
Purchase Agreement). The number of Subject Shares shall be no more than the
lesser of (i) 7,000,000 and (ii) the maximum number of Shares such that Seller
does not beneficially own greater than 9.9% of the Shares on a post-combination
pro forma basis. If the Seller acquires less than 2,500,000 Subject Shares, it
has agreed to acquire additional Shares ("Additional Shares") from the Company
in a private placement which will be subject to the FPA such that the sum of the
number of Additional Shares and the number of Subject Shares will be equal to
2,500,000.
The FPA provides that (a) one local business day following the closing of the
Business Combination, the Company will pay to Seller, out of the funds held in
the Company's trust account, an amount (the "Prepayment Amount") equal to the
Redemption Price (as defined in Yellowstone's Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company (the " Certificate of Incorporation") per Share
(the "Initial Price") multiplied by the aggregate number of Subject Shares and
Additional Shares, if any, (together, the "Number of Shares") on the date of
such prepayment, (b) on the first local business day of each calendar quarter
after the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will pay to Midtown
Madison Management LLC a structuring fee in the amount of $2,500 per quarter and
(c) on the date occurring one settlement cycle following the valuation date
(which shall occur on the earlier of (i) 18 months after the closing of the
Business Combination and (ii) the date specified by Seller in a written notice
(not earlier than the day such notice is effective) that, during any 30
consecutive scheduled trading day-period following the closing of the Business
Combination, the volume weighted average trading price per Share for 20
scheduled trading days during such period shall have been equal to or less than
$5.00 per Share), the Seller shall deliver to the Company the Number of Shares
less any Terminated Shares, as described below.
From time to time and on any scheduled trading day after the closing of the
Business Combination, Seller may sell Subject Shares or Additional Shares (or
any other shares of common stock or other securities of the Company) at its
absolute discretion in one or more transactions, publicly or privately, and, in
connection with such sales, terminate the FP Transaction in whole or in part in
an amount corresponding to the number of Subject Shares or Additional Shares
sold (the "Terminated Shares"). At the end of each calendar month during which
any such early termination occurs, Seller will pay to the Company an amount
equal to the product of (x) the number of shares terminated during such calendar
month and (y) the Reset Price, where "Reset Price" refers to, initially, the
Initial Price, provided that upon the closing of any follow-on offering of
Shares registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at a price per
Share that is lower than the then current Reset Price, the Reset Price will be
reduced to equal such price per Share. Seller's obligations to the Company
under the FPA are secured by perfected liens on (i) the cash proceeds of any
sale, transfer or other disposition of the Subject Shares, (ii) the deposit
account (the "Deposit Account") into which such cash proceeds (subject to
certain carve-outs) are required to be deposited and (iii) proceeds and products
of the foregoing. The Deposit Account will be subject to a customary deposit
account control agreement in favor of the Company.
Seller has agreed to waive all redemption rights under the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation that would require redemption by the Company of the Subject
Shares. Such waiver may reduce the number of shares of common stock redeemed in
connection with the Business Combination, which reduction could alter the
perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination.
The Definitive Proxy Statement is amended by adding the following at page 180:
Forward Purchase Agreement
However, to the extent the counterparty to the Forward Purchase Transaction
purchases shares of YAC's Class A common stock pursuant to the Forward Purchase
Transaction, one business day following the closing of the Business Combination,
YAC will pay to the counterparty, out of funds held in YAC's trust account, the
Prepayment Amount. We will not have access to the Prepayment Amount immediately
following the Closing, and depending on the manner in which the Forward Purchase
Transaction is settled may never have access to the Prepayment Amount, which may
adversely affect our liquidity and our capital needs following the Business
Combination.
A new final paragraph on page 130 under the heading "Background of the Business
Combination" is inserted as follows:
In November, 2021, representatives of Yellowstone and Sky had preliminary
discussions with representatives of Atalaya Capital Management LP regarding a
potential Forward Purchase Transaction. Representatives of Atalaya sent a term
sheet to Yellowstone and Sky management detailing the terms of a potential
Forward Purchase Transaction. On December 16, 2021, management of
Yellowstone discussed a potential Forward Purchase Transaction with the
Yellowstone board and the Yellowstone board authorized management of
Yellowstone to negotiate and execute definitive agreements with respect to the
Forward Purchase Transaction. On January 7, 2022, Sky management held
discussions with Atalaya regarding the terms of the potential Forward Purchase
Transaction and on January 10, 2022, representatives of Atalaya sent Yellowstone
and Sky an updated term sheet. On January 11, 2022, Pillsbury Winthrop, counsel
to Atalaya sent a draft Forward Purchase Agreement to Morrison &
Foerster, counsel to Sky and subsequently to Yellowstone and its counsel. On
January 17, 2022, Yellowstone and Atalaya executed the Forward Purchase
Agreement.
The Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and supplemented on page 129 by
replacing the furth full paragraph with the following:
The Board considered whether it would be advisable to obtain a fairness opinion
with respect to the proposed Business Combination. The Board had discussions
with several potential financial advisors regarding obtaining a fairness
opinion. Ultimately, after preliminary discussions with several advisory firms,
and primarily due to potential conflicts at such firms or differences on
valuation methodologies (e.g., appropriateness of real estate valuation
methodology treating Sky as a real estate business or a discounted cash flow
analysis treating Sky as an FBO), the Board, after consultation with its
Delaware counsel, elected to proceed without obtaining a fairness opinion, and
did not retain a financial advisor in connection with this Business Combination.
The Board's decision was based on a number of factors, including (i) the
officers' and directors' substantial experience in evaluating the operating and
financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries, including general
aviation (e.g. management of investments in the aviation industry and executive
management oversight over several decades of an S&P 500 global business with the
world's largest cargo aviation operations) and commercial real estate, (ii) the
extensive materials and analysis presented in both the proposed Sky Bond
Financing prospectus and the CBRE feasibility study, (iii) other industry
information regarding customer demand and anticipated growth in the aviation
industry, (iv) available valuation metrics from other recently announced
acquisitions in the industry, (v) the proposed investment and Back-Stop
financing to be provided by Boston Omaha on terms providing for a purchase price
of $10.00 per share of Class A Common Stock, (vi) the requirement that Sky
