Executive Summary
Vertical Aerospace Ltd. held its 2026 Annual General Meeting, where shareholders approved the adoption of a sixth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that formalizes director nomination, removal, and consent rights for Mudrick Capital Management, the company's largest shareholder. A separate proposal to remove references to founder Stephen Fitzpatrick failed because his shares were not voted in favor, leaving the new governance structure in place. This filing is a routine governance update with no financial data or operational catalysts, but it solidifies Mudrick Capital's influence over the board, which is a notable shift in control dynamics for this pre-revenue eVTOL developer.
