Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 15, 2024, Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC (“WUP Holdings”), a direct subsidiary of Wheels Up Experience Inc. (“Wheels Up”), and Wheels Up Partners LLC (“WUP LLC”), an indirect subsidiary of Wheels Up, entered into the Amended and Restated Commercial Cooperation Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2024 (the “Amended CCA”), with Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”). The Amended CCA, which was approved by the disinterested members of Wheels Up’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Audit Committee of the Board, replaced the Commercial Cooperation Agreement, dated as of January 17, 2020 (as amended prior to June 15, 2024, the “Original CCA”), by and among WUP Holdings, WUP LLC and Delta, which was originally entered into in connection with the closing of Wheels Up’s acquisition of Wheels Up Private Jets LLC from Delta in January 2020.
The Amended CCA marks a continued commitment by Wheels Up and Delta to further their long-term commercial endeavors and provides for, among other things: (i) the terms on which certain of Wheels Up’s members can continue to purchase discounted premium commercial air travel with Delta, including by the use of eligible Wheels Up prepaid blocks; (ii) an amendment to a related agreement that governs the terms on which certain of Wheels Up’s members and customers may receive enhanced benefits under the Delta SkyMiles® and Delta Medallion® programs; and (iii) certain other in-kind benefits among the parties in furtherance of their joint sales efforts and related to the facilitation of their respective businesses. The Amended CCA replaced the run-rate benefit requirements under the Original CCA with the foregoing benefits and programs.
The Amended CCA has an initial term that ends on September 20, 2029 and will renew for two successive three-year periods after such initial term, unless any party to the agreement delivers a notice of its intention not to renew no later than one year prior to the expiration of the then current term. The Amended CCA may be terminated immediately by Delta upon, among others, a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended CCA) of Wheels Up, or the occurrence of certain other operational, regulatory or safety events or occurrences on the part of Wheels Up and its affiliates. At the time the Amended CCA was entered into, Delta: beneficially owned approximately 37.8% of Wheels Up’s outstanding Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of which any shares in excess of 29.9% of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at any annual meeting of Wheels Up's stockholders that are held by Delta will be neutral shares with respect to voting rights; was a lender under Wheels Up’s secured credit facility; and was a party to certain other agreements concerning the governance of Wheels Up, as disclosed under the heading "Related Person Transactions with Holders of More than 5% of Our Voting Stock" in Wheels Up's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2024.
The foregoing description of the Amended CCA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy thereof, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

6.1.Receiving Party shall use the same standard of care to protect the confidentiality of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential information, which must be at least the care a reasonably prudent person would use as to its own Confidential Information. Except to the extent required to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement and except as provided in Section 6.5, Receiving Party shall not transfer, disclose or otherwise make available to any Person, in whole or in part or in any form, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
6.2.Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, each Party will, at the written request of any other Party, return to the other Party or destroy all written Confidential Information and permanently destroy or delete all other Confidential Information in whatever form or medium and so certify to the other Parties in writing. Nothing herein shall prevent a Party from retaining copies of records that are required by Law to be maintained, subject to the obligations of confidentiality set forth above, which, notwithstanding Section 6.4, will remain in effect until any such Confidential Information is returned and destroyed in accordance with this Section 6.3.
6.3.Duration of Obligations. The confidentiality obligation with respect to Confidential Information shall remain in effect until [***] from the termination or expiration of this Agreement unless
13


otherwise set forth herein. The confidentiality obligation with respect to Confidential Information consisting of PII shall remain in effect in perpetuity; provided, however, that if applicable Law requires a reasonable limit upon the duration of such obligation, the Parties agree that the longer of [***] shall be deemed reasonable. The confidentiality obligation with respect to Confidential Information consisting of Trade Secrets shall remain in effect for as long as governing Law allows.
6.4.Court Order. Notwithstanding the restrictions in this Article, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information (including Trade Secrets) of the Disclosing Party to the extent required by an order of any court or other Governmental Authority or by Law or legal process, but (i) only after the Receiving Party has notified the Disclosing Party and Disclosing Party has had the opportunity, if possible, to obtain reasonable protection for such information in connection with such disclosure and (ii) the Receiving Party will disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally required to disclose and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that such Confidential Information will be accorded confidential treatment.
6.5.Ownership. As between Disclosing Party and Receiving Party, Disclosing Party shall own all right title and interest in and to its Confidential Information.
6.6.Reserved.
6.7.Other Duties or Obligations.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that any sharing of Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, PII, or other data shall be at the sole discretion of the Disclosing Party; provided, that each Party shall be required to disclose and share all such Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, PII or other data reasonably necessary to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement and to enable the other Parties to perform their obligations under this Agreement unless such disclosure is prohibited by agreement or Law.

15


Claim within [***] after delivery of notice by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume such defense, but if and only if the Indemnitor further retains counsel for the defense of such Third-Party Claim reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnitor assumes control of the defense, it shall have sole control over the defense and settlement of Third-Party Claims; provided, however, that: (i) the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and to employ legal advisers at its own expense to assist in the handling of the Third-Party Claim; (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will be able to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Indemnified Party will be considered and included as “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement; and (iii) without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent [***]. The Indemnified Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Indemnitor (at the Indemnitor’s expense), including reasonable assistance from the Indemnified Party’s employees, agents, independent contractors and Affiliates, as applicable.
9.2.LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST REVENUES, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, FOR ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO: ANY PARTY’S LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTIES FOR SUCH PARTY’S VIOLATION OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.7 (DATA SHARING) OR ARTICLE VI (CONFIDENTIALITY); ANY PARTY’S LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTIES FOR SUCH PARTY’S VIOLATION OF THE DPA; OR INDEMNITOR’S OBLIGATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FOR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THIRD- PARTY CLAIMS.

Providing Global Access Through Options for Membership and Charter

Member benefits expanded to offer enhanced Delta loyalty rewards as well as guaranteed availability and recovery within the U.S., U.K. and Europe

Updated portfolio introduces the first-ever charter program offering private flight credit and commercial airline benefits

NEW YORK – JUNE 17, 2024 – Wheels Up Experience Inc. (NYSE: UP), the first company in the industry that provides seamless global aviation solutions across private and commercial travel, today announced a streamlined product portfolio. Working with strategic partner Delta Air Lines, America’s most awarded airline, Wheels Up can now provide an even greater level of flexibility to meet the needs of today’s most discerning travelers. This new product model offers simple solutions and unique incentives that maximize ease and choice while maintaining the highest standards of operation and safety for first-time and experienced private fliers alike.

“We are introducing the marketplace to a new way of flying private, one that further delivers choice to customers and adds to the value of Wheels Up's premium travel experience by capitalizing on our global aviation network, competitive pricing model, and unique capacity to offer guaranteed availability and recovery to our members in areas where they travel most,” said Wheels Up CEO George Mattson.

Wheels Up’s first-of-its-kind partnership with Delta, along with the company’s private fleet and global charter capabilities, allows Wheels Up to offer a wide range of safety-vetted aviation solutions. As a result, Wheels Up is positioned to provide the right aircraft for the right mission, creating the opportunity for customers to select a mode of travel that works for their specific needs, for every trip to any destination, creating customer experiences worth repeating.

Join Up: A Unique Value Proposition

Fliers with predictable annual spend can utilize Wheels Up Membership, where a small annual fee and upfront funded flight hours unlock increased flexibility and expanded global access with guaranteed availability and recovery within the U.S., U.K. and Europe.

Wheels Up Membership provides price protection by featuring capped member costs on high-demand days and reduced rates that optimize affordability during non-peak travel times – a combination that has already resulted in meaningful member savings no matter how or when members choose to fly.

Wheels Up also offers members the unique opportunity to earn Diamond Medallion® Status with Delta based on their qualifying Wheels Up spend*, as well as the ability to use funds on deposit to purchase seats on commercial Delta flights. As an added incentive, eligible members receive a 20% discount on certain Delta fares on select routes.

Fly Up: Unprecedented Flexibility with No Upfront Cost

For travelers who are looking to pay as they go, Wheels Up Charter allows customers to book ad-hoc trips with no upfront costs for everything from that perfect family vacation to a multi-stop, international business itinerary.



Wheels Up charter gives fliers the freedom to tailor each trip to their specific needs, with access to a large network of safety-vetted aircraft. For added value, fliers can expect to earn rewards for each flight – 2% flight credit for every $50,000 flown, and Diamond Medallion® Status with Delta after achieving qualifying flight spend*. This comprehensive program is the first of its kind for private aviation, rewarding and incentivizing frequent charter bookings.

With this launch, Wheels Up invites returning and new customers to look at flying private in a different way. While the standard of premium travel and intuitive service remains, the process for booking, flying and planning has become more efficient than previously imagined. Wheels Up’s new product portfolio signals a shift in the private aviation model, one that emphasizes value, flexibility and accessibility.
