On October 22, 2026, Bridger Aerospace Group, LLC (“Bridger”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Aircraft Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Bridgeporth Ltd. (“Bridgeporth”), a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales and an operating subsidiary of Metatek-Group Ltd. (TSX: MTEK), pursuant to which Bridger will provide dedicated aircraft availability, modification, maintenance and operational services in support of Bridgeporth’s global airborne geophysical sensor survey operations.

Under the Agreement, Bridger will modify, operate and maintain a fleet of three Basler BT-67 turbine-converted aircraft, each configured to Bridgeporth’s specifications to support onboard sensor and mission equipment. Each aircraft carries an initial term of five years commencing upon the date on which delivery by the former owner of a Bridger-owned aircraft or the lessor of a Bridger-leased aircraft, respectively, and acceptance of such aircraft by Bridger is completed. The term of the Agreement automatically renews for an additional five-year term unless either party provides timely notice of non-renewal. Bridgeporth has committed to minimum annual utilization levels per aircraft, with shortfall payments payable to Bridger if actual utilization falls below the committed minimum, in addition to fixed monthly fees and usage-based flight-hour charges payable throughout the term, subject to specified escalation and price-adjustment provisions. Bridger has committed to make each aircraft available for Bridgeporth mission tasking at a minimum availability rate of 80% on a rolling twelve-month basis, subject to specified exclusions.

The Agreement includes customary provisions regarding indemnification, insurance and risk allocation between the parties, financial assurance covenants applicable to Bridgeporth, confidentiality, export control and sanctions compliance, anti-corruption compliance and termination rights, including termination for uncured material breach, insolvency and other specified events. The Agreement requires Bridgeporth to cause Metatek-Group Ltd. to provide an unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of Bridgeporth’s payment obligations under the Agreement.

The Agreement has an estimated total revenue potential of up to $183 million (over the life of the Agreement, assuming full commitment and induction of all three aircraft and exercise of each additional renewal term), which aggregate amount reflects (i) anticipated fees during a modification and certification period for each aircraft and (ii) monthly availability fees and minimum annual flight-hour commitments across all three aircraft during their five-year initial terms and additional five-year terms. This estimated aggregate value constitutes a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Actual results may differ materially from this estimate depending on, among other things, the timing and completion of aircraft modifications and certifications, Bridgeporth’s commitment and induction of all three aircraft, actual flight-hour utilization, exercise of the additional five-year term with respect to each aircraft, and the other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 and incorporated herein by reference upon such filing.

On October 27, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
