Founded in 2012, U.S.-based JetSmarter is an innovative technology company and the market leader in the premium flight-sharing economy. The Company is known for creating a new class of flying called social aviation, which pairs the practice of purchasing low cost empty legs and underutilized capacity with the sharing economy. Its asset-lite approach allows JetSmarter to substantially reduce costs, making private aviation available to more consumers and businesses. JetSmarter is the world's largest marketplace for private aviation, with over 670,000 registered app users, 10,000 members, and connectivity to 3,200 aircraft, and has transported over 40,000 unique passengers since inception. The investment will enable JetSmarter to accelerate growth by continuing to launch new products and routes globally and by increasing supply on existing routes.

"We are excited to raise our first institutional capital as we enter our next chapter and pursue accelerated growth," said Sergey Petrossov, JetSmarter founder and CEO. "Through our membership model, we have broadened the addressable market and created the premier social aviation experience. This partnership will allow us to invest further in our platform, which is revolutionizing private aviation through the sharing economy."

"We are enthusiastic about this partnership and firmly believe JetSmarter is a highly disruptive platform," said Behdad Eghbali, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Clearlake. "We see a tremendous market opportunity to be realized by using an asset-light, shared-economy business model to unlock a large, underutilized asset base and make private aviation available to a broader demographic of leisure and business travelers."

"We look forward to partnering with the talented JetSmarter management team as we make a significant growth investment in the Company," said José E. Feliciano, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Clearlake. "JetSmarter can now leverage our substantial resources and operational expertise in technology-enabled services, and we look forward to supporting the team as the Company scales and executes on their compelling growth strategy."

"Alongside Clearlake, we are thrilled to invest in Sergey and the JetSmarter team," said Raphael Bejarano, Managing Director at Leucadia. "Our partnership will facilitate further investment to drive membership growth and generate significant network effects."

Jefferies LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent to JetSmarter in connection with the financing. Mr. Eghbali and Mr. Feliciano will join JetSmarter's board of directors as part of the transaction.
