Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this press release, including statements regarding the proposed transaction, including the proforma enterprise value and anticipated listing of MNGA on the NYSE, are forward-looking statements. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, including “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “plan,” “targets,” “projects,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “forecast” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Golden Falcon and its management, and MNGA and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and many factors may cause the actual results to differ materially from current expectations which include, but are not limited to: the inability of the parties to raise capital or retain in trust at least $30 million in connection with the proposed transaction; the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Golden Falcon’s securities; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction, including the adoption of the business combination agreement by the stockholders of Golden Falcon; failure to satisfy the minimum cash amount following redemptions by Golden Falcon’s public stockholders in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the business combination agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; failure to receive certain governmental and regulatory approvals; the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; costs related to the proposed transaction; actual or potential conflicts of interest of Golden Falcon’s management with its public stockholders; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transaction on MNGA’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans of MNGA and potential difficulties in MNGA’s employee retention as a result of the proposed transaction; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against MNGA or against Golden Falcon related to the business combination agreement or the proposed transaction; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; the inability to meet and maintain the listing of Golden Falcon’s securities (or the securities of MNGA) on the NYSE; the risk that the price of Golden Falcon’s or MNGA’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including macro-economic and social environments affecting MNGA’s business and changes in the combined capital structure; the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities; the risk that MNGA will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; the risk that the post-combination company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; negative economic conditions that could impact MNGA and the air cargo business in general; factors that affect air cargo companies generally; changes in, and MNGA’s ability to comply with, laws and government regulations, particularly, the civil aviation regulatory framework; competition in the air cargo industry; reduction in demand for MNGA’s cargo or charter operations, including as a result of reductions in global trade growth or e-commerce activity, government reduction or limitation of operating capacity; risks associated with MNGA doing business in emerging markets; conflict and uncertainty in neighbouring countries; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Golden Falcon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed by Golden Falcon on March 27, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Golden Falcon’s filings with the SEC, the Form F-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein. 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. Golden Falcon and MNGA caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Nothing in this press release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved.

Neither Golden Falcon nor MNGA gives any assurance that either Golden Falcon or MNGA or the combined company will achieve its expected results. Neither Golden Falcon nor MNGA undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law. Participants in the Solicitation MNGA and Golden Falcon and their respective directors and officers and other members of management may, under SEC rules, be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Golden Falcon’s stockholders with the proposed transaction and the other matters set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus. Information about Golden Falcon’s directors and executive officers is set forth in Golden Falcon’s filings with the SEC, including the 2022 Form 10-K.

    MNG Airlines Announces Approximately $35 Million Dividend for Fiscal Year 2022

    businesswire.com

    2023-02-23 10:03:00

    ISTANBUL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The board of directors of MNG Havayolları ve Taşımacılık A.Ş. (“MNGA”) has announced its intent to distribute a cash dividend of TRY 662 million (TRY 16.76 per ordinary share), or approximately $35 million ($0.89 per ordinary share) based on the exchange rate from S&P CapitalIQ as of February 17, 2023, for the fiscal year 2022 subject to the approval of its shareholders in its upcoming general assembly to holders of record of MNGA’s ordinary shares as of the general assembly date. Assuming the previously announced proposed business combination with Golden Falcon Acquisition Corp. (“Golden Falcon”) is consummated, and the Available Cash Condition (as defined in the business combination agreement) of $30 million is satisfied, on a pro forma basis, this dividend would equate to $0.55 per ordinary share, resulting in a 5.5% dividend yield based on an illustrative $10.00 price per share. MNGA expects to distribute a cash dividend for the fiscal year 2023 on a constant-currency basis and intends to maximize its future dividend payments, subject to applicable local accounting and regulatory requirements, including, among other things, MNGA’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, MNGA’s ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness MNGA or its subsidiaries incur. MNGA may also distribute advanced dividends, which would allow for dividend payments more than once per year, in accordance with the applicable law. Sedat Özkazanç, MNGA’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our ability to distribute this dividend and establish our dividend policy going forward demonstrates our confidence in our ability to continue to operate profitably.” Important Information About the Proposed Transaction and Where to Find It This communication relates to a proposed transaction between MNGA and Golden Falcon Acquisition Corp.

    MNG Airlines Announces Strong Preliminary Unaudited Financial Results and Operational Highlights for Full Year 2022

    businesswire.com

    2023-02-23 10:02:00

    ISTANBUL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MNG Havayollari ve Tasimacilik A.S. (“MNG Airlines,” “MNGA” or “the Company”), a global logistics provider and e-commerce enabler today announced strong preliminary unaudited financial results and operational highlights for full year 2022. Full Year 2022 Preliminary (Unaudited) compared to Full Year 2021 (Audited) Financial and Operational Highlights Twelve Months Ended December 31, $ in Millions 2022 2021 % Change Revenue $ 359.3 $ 289.7 24 Profit $ 66.7 $ 50.4 32 Adjusted EBITDA1 $ 110.1 $ 111.0 (0.8 ) Departure Arrival Departure Arrival CTKs2 in millions YE 2021 YE 2021 YE 2022 YE 2022 Asia 60.4 122.7 111.5 121.8 Europe 379.1 287.6 317.8 276.6 North America 1.5 4.1 15.9 22.0 Other 13.5 40.0 11.1 35.9 Total 454.5 454.5 456.3 456.3 Total revenue in 2022 was $359.3 million compared to $289.7 million in 2021, representing 24% growth. Revenue growth was driven by increased activity in Asia, as CTKs (cargo ton kilometers) departing from Asia grew to 111.5 million in 2022 from 60.4 million in 2021, representing 85% growth. MNGA prioritized charter flights to the region, resulting in 102% year-on-year growth in charter services, to expand its footprint and activity in the region. This also meant a lower portion of MNGA’s overall revenue came from ACMI3 flights, which have higher margins as the customer incurs the direct operating costs. E-commerce revenue increased to $81.5 million in 2022 from $51.3 million in 2022, a 59% increase, supported by the increased activity in Asia. MNGA also increased block hours from 21,796 hours in 2021 to 23,099 hours in 2022, supporting the Company’s fleet utilization and expanding its network coverage. Profit in 2022 expanded to $66.7 million from $50.4 million in 2021, representing growth of 32%, and representing a 19% profit margin4. Adjusted EBITDA in 2022 decreased slightly but remained robust at $110.1 million, representing a 31% Adjusted EBITDA margin5. MNGA reduced its gross debt in 2022 by $24.4 million compared to year end 2021, resulting in total debt of $82.5. Ali Sedat Özkazanc, CEO of MNGA, commented, “We are encouraged by our strong revenue growth in 2022 and we are proud that we continue to deliver on our goals of growing MNG Airlines into a global logistics provider.” Makram Azar, CEO of Golden Falcon, commented, “We remain excited by MNGA’s performance and believe MNGA’s strong growth profile, profitability and cash flow generation offer the market a differentiated, high-quality business.” The proposed business combination, which has been approved by the boards of directors of Golden Falcon and MNG Airlines, is expected to be completed in the first half of 2023, subject to, among other things, approval by Golden Falcon’s stockholders, satisfaction of the conditions stated in the previously filed definitive business combination agreement and other customary closing conditions, including a registration statement on Form F-4 being declared effective by the SEC and approval by the relevant exchange to list the securities of the combined entity. Upon the closing of the proposed business combination between Golden Falcon and MNG Airlines, MNG Airlines expects to be listed under the ticker symbol “MNGA.” Non-IFRS Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that MNGA’s management team uses to assess its operating performance. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as profit for the year excluding results from non-operating sources including tax expense, reversal of fixed asset impairment, share of profit from investment under the equity method, finance expenses, depreciation and amortization and business combination expenses. MNGA presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results and because it is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of MNGA’s results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect reversal of fixed asset impairment, share of profit of equity-accounted investees and finance expenses, which may represent an increase to or reduction in cash available to MNGA; Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash charges for depreciation of property and equipment, and although the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect provisions for tax expense, which may represent a reduction in cash available to MNGA; and Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-recurring exceptional items that are not directly related to the core operating profit of the business, such as expenses associated with a business combination. Other companies, including companies in MNGA’s industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, profit and MNGA’s other IFRS results. Reconciliation of Profit to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin $ in Millions 2022 2021 Profit for the period 66.7 50.4 Tax Expense 4.4 16.5 Share of profit of equity-accounted investees (0.7 ) (0.3 ) Finance expenses/(income)6 0.4 12.8 Depreciation and amortization 37.7 31.5 Business Combination Expenses 1.6 - Adjusted EBITDA 110.1 111.0 Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Adjusted EBITDA / Revenue) 31 % 38 % 1 Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined under IFRS.

    2022-12-07 03:00:00

    NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MNG Havayollari ve Tasimacilik A.S. (“MNG Airlines,” “MNGA” or “the Company”), a global logistics provider and e-commerce enabler, has entered into a definitive agreement to become publicly traded via a business combination with Golden Falcon Acquisition Corp. (“Golden Falcon”) (NYSE: GFX), a special purpose acquisition company. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023, after which MNGA will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the new ticker symbol “MNGA”. As a public company, MNGA is expected to gain increased financial flexibility, and to be well positioned to unlock new growth avenues and maximize value creation. Management Comments Ali Sedat Özkazanc, CEO of MNGA, commented, “We see significant value creation potential from becoming a publicly listed company in the U.S., with the expectation that it will enable transformative commercial agreements, create an acquisition currency, and align management incentives with shareholders.” Murathan Gunal, Chairman of MNGA and CEO of MAPA Group, added, “Today, MNGA is an international company with a global presence including multinational corporate clients in the U.S., Europe and Asia. In the year that we celebrate 25 years of operational excellence, listing on the NYSE feels like a natural next step in our company’s history. We’re excited about delivering on the anticipated value creation opportunity ahead.” Makram Azar, CEO of Golden Falcon, commented, “We screened over 500 companies and conducted in-depth due diligence on many companies and our process resulted in identifying a company that offers the market a differentiated, high-quality business. We believe MNGA is an exceptional opportunity among DeSPAC business combinations, with a strong growth profile, profitability, cash flow generation, and priced at what we believe is the lowest EBITDA multiple of any business combination closed to date in 2022, which is why we believe it is such a compelling investment opportunity.” Scott Freidheim, Chairman of Golden Falcon, added, “At our initial public offering in December 2020, we communicated to investors that we intended to bring to them an established company in the Europe, Middle East and Israel region with a compelling track record, cash flow-generation, a clear transatlantic expansion nexus, a strong growth profile, and benefitting from secular market tailwinds. We’re delighted to bring this differentiated investment opportunity to our investors as we believe MNGA meets the attributes we laid out as key business combination criteria.” Investment Highlights A Global Logistics Provider and E-Commerce Enabler 25 years of operating experience with flights to 41 countries on 4 continents 25 years of operating experience with flights to 41 countries on 4 continents Sector Tailwinds Due to Increasing Demand Combined with Supply-Side Constraints E-commerce tailwinds, an increasing focus on supply chain security, and a need for larger and more efficient dedicated freighter capacity Global air freight has historically grown at more than 3x global GDP growth (1973-2019)2 Express air cargo market is forecasted to grow at 5% per year, 1.8x the rate of general cargo (2019-2041)3 E-commerce tailwinds, an increasing focus on supply chain security, and a need for larger and more efficient dedicated freighter capacity Global air freight has historically grown at more than 3x global GDP growth (1973-2019)2 Express air cargo market is forecasted to grow at 5% per year, 1.8x the rate of general cargo (2019-2041)3 Established Track Record, with Close Partnerships and Longstanding Ongoing Contracts 20+ year commercial relationships with some of the largest global logistics providers, airlines, freight forwarders and e-commerce operators, across Europe, the U.S. and Asia 20+ year commercial relationships with some of the largest global logistics providers, airlines, freight forwarders and e-commerce operators, across Europe, the U.S. and Asia Strategically Based in One of the Largest and Fastest-Growing Air Cargo Markets Globally Air transport freight has increased in the region at ~10x the global rate, growing at a CAGR of 23% from 2009 to 2019 (vs. 2% worldwide)4 Air transport freight has increased in the region at ~10x the global rate, growing at a CAGR of 23% from 2009 to 2019 (vs. 2% worldwide)4 Multiple Potential Growth Levers including E-Commerce Integration, Expanded Network and Increasing Penetration in Key Markets Through Vertical Integration MNGA e-Commerce revenue grew to $82 million in the last twelve months ended 30 September 2022, from zero in 2020 Ability to expand warehouse operations in key destinations such as the EU and the U.S. MNGA e-Commerce revenue grew to $82 million in the last twelve months ended 30 September 2022, from zero in 2020 Ability to expand warehouse operations in key destinations such as the EU and the U.S. Barriers to Entry Driven by Slots Guaranteed at Some of the Most Desirable Airports Globally Including in the U.S., China, Germany, United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Israel Including in the U.S., China, Germany, United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Israel Operational Excellence Evidenced by Multiple Awards from Airbus and Governmental Agencies Consistent outperformance of global benchmarks for dispatch reliability every year over the past decade for both A300s and A330s Consistent outperformance of global benchmarks for dispatch reliability every year over the past decade for both A300s and A330s Approved supplier to leading authorities such as the U.N., NATO, and U.S. military and non-military organizations, accredited by IATA (International Air Transport Association) and ISO (International Organization for Standards), and multiple awards from Airbus over the past two decades Executive Team with 185+ Years’ Experience, Including 70+ Years with MNGA and 35+ Years with MAPA Group, the Long-Term Single Shareholder Financial Highlights For the three months ended 30 September 2022, the Company’s revenue grew by 47% year-on-year to $90 million, net income of $26 million and Adjusted EBITDA5 of $27 million (30% margin).

The Company’s business model has four complementary segments: Scheduled & Block Space, Charter, ACMI7, and Warehouse & Handling. The Company’s cost base is mostly variable, with COGS (cost of goods sold) representing 95% of its overall cost base in 2021. Company contracts have limited exposure to fuel costs, which are either 100% pass-through to the end customer (for charter flights and ACMI) or updated every two weeks (for scheduled flights). Revenues are generated in USD, EUR and GBP, collectively accounting for 98% of the total. The Company has been net income-positive for the last 10 years. The Company has net debt8 of $25 million as of 30 September 2022. Transaction Overview The transaction is expected to have a pro-forma enterprise value of $676 million, assuming minimum gross transaction proceeds of $30 million, implying a 5.8x multiple on LTM Adjusted EBITDA as of 30 September 2022. All references to available cash from the trust account and retained transaction proceeds are subject to any redemptions by the public stockholders of Golden Falcon. The Company benefits from significant positive cash flow generation and a capex-light business model, being able to organically fund its growth plans. Its current business plan is fully funded regardless of transaction proceeds. Net proceeds from the transaction will therefore be distributed to the Company’s existing shareholders, who are expected to continue to retain a significant stake in the Company. The Golden Falcon management team screened over 500 potential targets since its IPO in December 2020. Prior to executing the Business Combination Agreement with MNGA, the Golden Falcon team conducted extensive due diligence throughout the course of the past ten months, supported by its advisor UBS Investment Bank. In order to closely align incentives with the Company and existing shareholders, the Golden Falcon team has agreed to subject over 90% of sponsor shares received as merger consideration to a vesting schedule. The proposed business combination, which has been unanimously approved by both the Board of Directors of Golden Falcon and the Board of Directors of MNGA, is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to approval by Golden Falcon’s stockholders and other customary closing conditions. Subject to agreement on terms that are satisfactory to the Company and Golden Falcon, in order to provide certain redemption alternatives in connection with Golden Falcon’s stockholder vote to approve the business combination, the Company and Golden Falcon intend to make available to Golden Falcon stockholders some or all of the following options: (i) continue to hold their shares of Golden Falcon Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”), (ii) elect to redeem their shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Golden Falcon Certificate of Incorporation or (iii) convert their shares of Common Stock into a newly issued security to be comprised of a combination of shares of Common Stock and convertible notes.
