Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 20, 2023, Edify Acquisition Corp. (“Edify”) elected to extend the date by which it has to consummate an initial business combination by one additional month from October 20, 2023 to November 20, 2023 (the “Extension”), as permitted under the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The Extension provides the Company with additional time to complete its previously announced initial business combination with Unique Logistics International, Inc. (“Unique Logistics”). In connection with the Extension, the Company has deposited $49,521.45 into the Company’s trust account for its public stockholders which enables the Company to effectuate the Extension.

Additional Information about the Proposed Merger and Where to Find It

This communication relates to a proposed transaction between Edify and Unique Logistics (the “Merger”). In connection with the transaction described herein, Edify filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a prospectus with respect to its securities to be issued in connection with the Merger, a preliminary proxy statement with respect to the special meeting of Edify’s stockholders to vote in favor of certain matters, including the adoption of the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, amendment and restatement of Edify’s existing certificate of incorporation and certain other matters, and a preliminary consent solicitation statement with respect to Unique Logistics’s solicitation of its stockholders of their written consent to approve the plan of merger set forth in the Merger Agreement. After the registration statement on Form S-4 has been declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus will be mailed to Edify shareholders and Unique Logistics stockholders as of the record dates set by Edify and Unique Logistics, respectively. In addition, Edify and Unique Logistics may file other relevant documents concerning the Merger with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors and stockholders of Edify and Unique Logistics and other interested persons are urged to read, the registration statement on Form S-4, the preliminary proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, as well as other relevant documents filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed Merger because these documents contain important information about Edify, Unique Logistics, and the Merger. Stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the registration statement on Form S-4, including the preliminary and definitive, once available, proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, and other documents filed with the SEC without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) or be able to obtain free copies of such documents related to the Merger that Unique Logistics files with the SEC, when they become available, by directing a request by telephone or mail to: Unique Logistics International, Inc., Attn: Eli Kay, Chief Financial Officer.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current views with respect to future events. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, including statements regarding the impact of the proposed merger on, and anticipated future growth (including through the completion of pending acquisitions) and other goals of, Edify or Unique Logistics; in some cases you can also identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements are based on Edify’s or Unique Logistics’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on Edify, Unique Logistics, or any successor entity thereof. Any such forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, are not guarantees of future performance, and involve a number of risks, uncertainties, or other factors that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements included in this communication. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed and identified in public filings made by Edify and Unique Logistics with the SEC; the amount of any redemptions by existing holders of shares of Edify’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, being greater than expected, which may reduce the cash in trust available to Unique Logistics upon the consummation of the Merger; the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Edify or Unique Logistics following announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; the inability to complete the proposed Merger due to, among other things, the failure to obtain Unique Logistics stockholder approval or Edify shareholder approval or satisfy the minimum trust account amount following any redemptions by Edify’s public shareholders; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the merger on Unique Logistics’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; the risk that the announcement and consummation of the proposed Merger disrupts Unique Logistics’s current plans or operations; unexpected costs related to the proposed Merger; the risks that the consummation of the proposed Merger is substantially delayed or does not occur, including prior to the date on which Edify is required to liquidate under the terms of its charter documents; the risk that Unique Logistics may need to raise additional capital to execute its growth plans, which many not be available on acceptable terms or at all; and the risk that the post-Merger company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the registration statement on Form S-4 and proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus discussed above and other documents filed or to be filed by Edify, Unique Logistics, and/or or any successor entity thereof from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made by the management of Unique Logistics prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed Merger or other matters addressed in this communication and attributable to Unique Logistics or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this communication. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, Unique Logistics undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect new information or events or circumstances occurring after the date of this communication.
