XTI Aerospace, currently seeking capital funding for its TriFan 600 VTOL business aircraft, has entered into an investment agreement with FC Imperial, an affiliate of the private global investment consortium Finexic Concordia Group. According to the Colorado-based airframer, this agreement could lead to sales of up to $55 million in stock, based on a fixed XTI company valuation of $275 million.
“XTI has had the pleasure of working with and sharing information with the investment team for over a year, and they have performed extensive technical and financial due diligence on XTI Aircraft Company and the TriFan,” said XTI chair and CEO Scott Pomeroy. “Assuming the completion of the proposed investment, we believe the additional capital will help accelerate the development of the TriFan through several major milestones including completion of the updated preliminary design review along with launching the critical design review phase in preparation for the assembly of XTI’s first test aircraft.”
Anindya Chakraborty, who is leading the investment structuring for the consortium, stated, “The TriFan is unique and perhaps the most efficient, practical, versatile, and commercially viable VTOL aircraft with clear attributes of ushering in a game-changing reality to the aviation industry.” He added that the consortium is willing to work with XTI to provide more capital as developmental milestones are met.
