AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP (AIRI)

Air Industries Amends Tenax Merger, Fixes Issuance at 126.9 Million Pre-Split Shares

Negative Impact 5 of 5 m&a Written later

Air Industries Group and Tenax Aerospace signed an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement on July 2, 2026, replacing the February 16, 2026 agreement. The revised deal fixes the share issuance and gives Tenax members about 96% of the combined company's common stock, leaving existing AIR stockholders with about 4%, which would be a major dilution for current shareholders if the merger closes.

Key points

  • Merger Consideration fixed at 126,900,000 AIR shares before the 1-for-5 reverse split (25,380,000 after), with the Debt Adjusted AIR Share Price set at $3.05 ($15.25 post-split).
  • Stockholders must approve raising authorized shares from 20 million to 200 million and the share issuance that would result in a change in control; the Closing must occur by September 30, 2026.
  • The tender offer in the original agreement for up to 1,000,000 shares has been eliminated.
  • Termination fees of $1,250,000 apply in specified circumstances, and AIR may reimburse Tenax up to $500,000 if stockholders do not approve the transaction.
