Fairchild Aerospace Corporation signs strategic agreement and launches investment process in MBF Group

MBF Group is entering a new phase of development by signing a strategic agreement with Fairchild Aerospace Corporation – an entity representing one of the most recognizable brands in the history of global aviation.

On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, MBF Group, a company listed on the NewConnect market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, is entering a new phase of development by signing a strategic agreement with Fairchild Aerospace Corporation – an entity representing one of the most recognizable brands in the history of global aviation. This event is significant beyond standard business cooperation, as it opens the way for a potential equity investment by the U.S. partner and the development of an international technology platform. In practice, this means moving from concept to a structure in which technology, capital, and markets begin to function as one coherent ecosystem. This is one of the most important steps in implementing the company’s long-term strategy.

Fairchild’s legacy is a key element of this puzzle. For decades, the brand was responsible for the development of platforms that continue to operate in real-world conditions today, the best known of which is the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft. It is a design that has become a symbol of effectiveness, resilience, and a practical approach to combat systems design. Cooperation with an entity originating from such an environment means access to experience that is difficult to recreate in laboratory or conceptual conditions. For MBF Group, this represents a direct move to a higher level of technological credibility.

The signed agreement provides for a cooperation model that goes beyond traditional commercial relations. The parties are not limiting themselves to deliveries or the provision of services, but are building a structure based on a shared economic interest. This means that a potential industry investor not only participates in projects, but also co-creates their value and development direction. In this context, there is a possibility for Fairchild Aerospace Corporation to acquire a significant block of shares in the company, starting at around 10%, with a possible increase to as much as around 20% of the share capital. This approach is typical of strategic partnerships, rather than speculative investments.

An important element of the talks is also setting the issue price of the shares at no less than PLN 10 at the current stage of negotiations. This parameter should be considered not in relation to the current market price, but as part of a broader structure that includes access to projects, influence over their development, and the possibility of further increasing the level of involvement. In practice, this means that the industry partner is valuing the company through the prism of its potential, rather than short-term fluctuations in its share price. Such an approach is characteristic of investors who want to participate in building value, not merely in its temporary valuation.

At the same time, the investment model provides for flexibility in the forms of involvement. In addition to a cash contribution, an in-kind contribution in the form of technology, intellectual property, products, or access to markets is also possible. In the technology and defense sectors, it is often these elements that represent the greatest value, as they determine the ability to actually implement projects. For MBF Group, this means the possibility of accelerating development without having to build all competencies internally. For the partner, it means entering a structure in which its resources directly translate into value growth.

The broader strategic context is also significant. The agreement with Fairchild Aerospace Corporation is part of the development of a larger structure involving partners from Europe, the United States, Turkey, and India. The number of entities that may join this ecosystem is limited, which naturally increases its value. After this stage is completed, the company plans to move into a phase of intensive project implementation and further strengthening of its market position. This marks a clear transition from building relationships to using them operationally.

The company’s management board emphasizes that the signed agreement is one of the most important steps in MBF Group’s history and opens the way for further activities of significant operational and capital importance. The next stages of cooperation will have a direct impact on the development of projects and the company’s potential market valuation. Information on their implementation will be provided in accordance with applicable regulations, ensuring transparency and allowing investors to assess progress on an ongoing basis.
