aviation hangars across the United States, targeting airfields in markets with significant based aircraft populations and high hangar demand. Our HBO campuses feature private and semi-private hangars and a full suite of dedicated services specifically optimized for home based, versus transient, aircraft. The physical footprint of the U.S. business aviation fleet grew by almost 46 million square feet in the past sixteen years, with hangar supply lagging dramatically, especially in key growth markets. As the fleet of private jets in the United States continues to grow, with recent new aircraft deliveries exceeding retirements, demand for hangar space is at a premium in part because new jets require taller tail clearances and more square footage of hangar space and the pace of new hangar construction has lagged behind the demand. The cumulative square footage of the business aircraft fleet in the United States increased 73% between 2010 and 2025. Moreover, over that same period, there was an 120% increase in the square footage of larger private jets – those with greater than a 24-foot tail height. A recent study conducted by a business aircraft manufacturer forecasted that business aircraft will only continue to grow in the next ten years, with up to 8,500 new business jet deliveries worth over $283 billion expected to be delivered between 2025 and 2034, with over two-thirds of the deliveries expected to be comprised of larger private jets. This forecast is further supported by data from the major business aviation manufacturers that suggest the current order backlog for new business aviation aircraft as of December 31, 2025 is over $57 billion, an increase of approximately 10% over the prior year. These larger footprint aircraft do not fit in much of the existing hangar infrastructure and impose stacking challenges and constraints in the traditional shared or community hangars operated by fixed-base operators (“FBO”). The addition of winglets (the vertical extensions on aircraft wingtips) on most modern business jets inhibits wing-over-wing storage. Aircraft hangars are in high demand and short supply, with some airports compiling waiting lists that can exceed several years. We believe our scalable, real estate-centric business model is uniquely positioned to capture this market opportunity and address the increased imbalance between the supply and demand for private jet storage. We intend to capitalize on the existing hangar supply constraints at major U.S. airports by targeting high-end tenants in markets where there is a shortage of private and FBO hangar space, or where such hangars are or are becoming obsolete. We expect to realize economies of scale in construction through prototype hangar designs replicated at our HBO campuses across the United States through our in-house construction management and general contracting. This allows for centralized procurement, straightforward permitting processes, efficient development processes, and the best hangar in business aviation. Unlike a service company, our revenues are mostly derived from long-term rental agreements, offering stability and forward visibility of revenues and cash flows. This allows us to fund our development through the public bond market and bank debt, providing capital efficiency and mitigating refinance risk. 7 Table of Contents In contrast with community hangars and other facilities provided by FBOs, the HBO campuses we develop provide the following features and services: • private hangar space for exclusive or semi-exclusive use of the tenant; • adjoining configurable lounge and office suites; • low-traffic campus environments free of transient aircraft and associated activities; • line crews and services dedicated exclusively to tenants; • climate control to mitigate condensation and associated corrosion; • features to support in-hangar aircraft maintenance; • no-foam fire suppression; and • customized software to provide security, control access and monitor hangar space. We use a standard set of proprietary prototype hangar designs, which are intended to deliver high-quality business aviation facilities, lower construction costs, minimize development risk, expedite permit issuance, and facilitate the implementation of refinements across its portfolio.…
