Alpine 4 Holdings Subdiary, Vayu Aerospace Corporation, Receives its First $5.25M Purchase Order from its $100M Supply Agreement with U.S Government Contractor, All American Contracting Solutions

PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / July 7, 2023 / Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:ALPP), a leading operator and owner of small market businesses announced that its subsidiary, Vayu Aerospace Corporation (Vayu), has received its first P.O. from U.S. Government contractor, All American Contracting, Inc., (All American) for ten G1 MKIII Fixed Wing UAV's.

In late May of 2023, Vayu welcomed All American Contracting and a delegation from Nigeria to its facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for an in-person flight demonstration and production inspection of the G1 MKIII Airframe. This delegation's primary use case is with Nigeria's agriculture industry with the purpose of surveillance and analysis of large swaths of land.

Under the terms of the existing Supply Agreement between Vayu and All American, the terms of the Purchase Order include a 1-year warranty on the airframes, electric motors, and electronics and a 5-year warranty on the engine. Vayu will also provide on-site training for All American's customer's pilots. Additionally, the P.O. requires a 10% down payment, with final payment to be sent prior to taking delivery. The airframes are scheduled for delivery in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024.

Kent Wilson, CEO of Alpine 4 stated, "The team at Vayu Aerospace Corporation has worked relentlessly towards this moment. Their continued commitment to refining our aircraft, along with their standards of excellence, has them poised to start driving significant revenue. As a Driver Company within our DSF Business Model, Vayu is on the cusp of transformational upside. Beyond the business, it's important to note my appreciation for our long-term shareholders who continue to support our vision and deserve this win."

TK Eppley, President of Vayu Aerospace commented, "The $100M Supply Agreement with All American was initially established for a government application. Having an additional use case in agriculture present itself, highlights the dynamic uses of our UAV's. We look forward to All American Contracting returning to our facility and to meet with their energy industry delegates for additional flight & production demonstrations."

Vayu Aerospace Corporation resides in Alpine 4's Aerospace portfolio and is considered a "driver" company from Alpine's DSF business model.
