Volato Advances AI Infrastructure Strategy Following Multiple Unsolicited LOIs as Vaunt ARR Reaches $4.0 Million

Company evaluates strategic opportunities across AI infrastructure and related markets while Vaunt recurring revenue grows 221% year-over-year

Volato Group, Inc. (NYSE:SOAR) ("Volato" or the "Company") today announced that it continues to evaluate multiple unsolicited, non-binding letters of intent related to potential strategic transactions in AI infrastructure and related sectors. The Company also reported that Vaunt annual recurring revenue ("ARR") reached approximately $4.0 million as of May 2026, representing approximately 221% year-over-year growth.

As previously announced, Volato recently secured a $2.2 million strategic investment and received multiple letters of intent related to potential acquisition and strategic combination opportunities. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities across AI infrastructure, data infrastructure, compute, power generation, and related sectors that support the expanding artificial intelligence ecosystem.

The Company has not entered into definitive agreements with respect to the LOIs, and no assurance can be given that any discussions will result in a completed transaction. Management is evaluating potential opportunities based on strategic fit, capital requirements, execution risk, shareholder value potential, and the Company's ability to participate in scalable technology and infrastructure markets.

"We are seeing real interest in Volato at a time when demand for AI infrastructure is moving very quickly," said Matt Liotta, Chief Executive Officer of Volato Group. "Our job now is to separate what is interesting from what is executable. The recent investment, the LOIs, and Vaunt's continued growth give us more options, and we will focus on the path that is executable and creates the most value for shareholders."

Strategic Review Focused on AI Infrastructure and Scalable Technology Markets

Volato's strategic review is focused on opportunities that can build on the Company's existing technology platforms while expanding its exposure to larger markets shaped by demand for AI infrastructure. The Company is evaluating opportunities across data infrastructure, compute, power generation, and software-enabled operating platforms where management believes Volato's recent investment, public-company experience, and operating background may be relevant.

At the same time, Volato continues to develop Parslee, its AI-powered workflow platform designed to help organizations process complex documents, reduce manual work, and respond faster inside Microsoft 365 environments.

Vaunt ARR Reaches Approximately $4.0 Million

Volato also announced that Vaunt's ARR reached approximately $4.0 million as of May 2026, representing 221% year-over-year growth and continued acceleration from the platform's recently announced $3.6 million ARR milestone as of April 30, 2026.

Vaunt's continued growth reflects increasing member demand, expanding operator participation, and growing marketplace activity across the platform. The milestone further reinforces Vaunt's software-as-a-service model, where additional operator participation can expand available flight opportunities for members while giving operators another channel to reach demand already active on the platform.

Recent operator network expansion, including Flyte's announced participation in the Vaunt platform, further supports Vaunt's ability to broaden available inventory and create additional demand-generation channels for participating operators.

Volato believes Vaunt's growth provides further validation of the Company's ability to build and scale technology platforms with recurring revenue characteristics. As Volato continues evaluating larger opportunities across AI infrastructure and software markets, management remains focused on identifying opportunities that are credible, executable, and capable of creating meaningful value for shareholders.
