New Horizon Aircraft Ltd.

The proposal, which involved the conversion of certain Series A preferred shares and the issuance of Class A ordinary shares, was approved with a substantial majority. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt and a healthy current ratio of 2.76.

The special meeting, which took place today, was convened to address the conversion proposal detailed in the company’s definitive proxy statement filed on February 4, 2025. The conversion is related to an offering of securities that occurred on December 19, 2024.

The voting results showed strong support for the conversion proposal, with 10,271,382 votes in favor, 331,441 against, and 19,203 abstentions. There were no broker non-votes reported. Trading at a P/E ratio of just 2.54, InvestingPro analysis suggests HOVR is currently undervalued, with 18 additional key insights available to subscribers, including detailed financial health metrics and growth projections.

The issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying these preferred shares is now authorized, marking a significant step forward for the company, which analysts expect to maintain profitability this year.
