Vertical Aerospace Ltd. 6-K filed 2026-09-11

Vertical Aerospace Ltd., listed on the NYSE under the ticker EVTL with an SIC description of "Aircraft," filed this Form 6-K on 2026-09-11. It reports the voting results of the company's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, held on September 11, 2026. Holders representing approximately 56.71% of the voting power as of the August 18, 2026 record date were present in person or by proxy. Shareholders ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. They approved an increase of 2,767,806 shares available under the company's Incentive Award Plan for employees, with awards to the Chief Executive Officer or any Non-Employee Director excluded. They also approved repricing certain outstanding option awards, lowering the exercise price from $3.50 or $5.82 per ordinary share to $1.30 per ordinary share. The filing gives for, against and abstain tallies for each proposal. The governance items matter most to a reader tracking control of the company. By special resolution, shareholders adopted a sixth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, effective immediately. According to the filing, it gives director nomination rights, removal rights and consent rights to Mudrick Capital Management, L.P., which the filing calls the company's largest shareholder. A further proposal would have adopted a seventh version removing certain references to Stephen Fitzpatrick. It needed a special resolution and also needed every share held directly or indirectly by Stephen Fitzpatrick to be voted in favor. Those shares were not all voted in favor, so the proposal failed and the sixth version remains in effect. The detailed terms of the Mudrick rights are not in the filing excerpt; they are in Exhibit 3.1. The size of Mudrick's stake, Stephen Fitzpatrick's relationship to the company, and the reason for the repricing are not in the filing. The report was signed by Chief Executive Officer Stuart Simpson and is incorporated by reference into several of the company's Form F-3 registration statements.
