1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On March 31, 2010, Gulfstream International Group, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated the first closing under a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with 17 accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company sold to the Investors (i) an aggregate of 118,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 and stated value $10.00 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), convertible into 1,185,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); and (ii) 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 592,500 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”), representing 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,043,000 (the “Offering”). The Warrants expire on March 31, 2013 and are exercisable into shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $1.75 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrants.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company which was filed with the State of Delaware on March 31, 2010 (the “Certificate of Designation”), each Preferred Share is convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Preferred Shares pay an annual dividend at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly, on the last business day of each December, March, June and September (each a “Dividend Payment Date”), payable on each Dividend Payment Date as follows: (i) 60% of each quarterly dividend (based on an annual rate of 7% per annum) shall be payable in cash, and (ii) 40% of each quarterly dividend (based on an annual rate of 5% per annum) shall be payable either in cash, or at the sole option of the Company, in additional shares of Common Stock, calculated for such purposes by dividing the amount of the quarterly dividend then payable by 100% of the market price of the Common Stock on such Dividend Payment Date.  Unless previously converted into Common Stock, all Preferred Shares outstanding on the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which the average of the market prices of the Common Stock for any 20 consecutive trading days shall be $2.00 or higher, or (b) 5 years from the Preferred Shares issuance date, shall be automatically converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect.

In addition, on March 31, 2010, 4 of the 7 purchasers of the Company’s units consisting of one share of Common Stock (the “Shares”), and warrants to purchase three-quarters of a share of Common Stock (the “Prior Warrants”) which was consummated on January 29, 2010 (the “Prior Offering”), entered into a letter agreement with the Company (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which such purchasers agreed to exchange their Shares and Prior Warrants for Preferred Shares and Warrants, under the same terms and conditions applicable to Investors in the Offering.  Such purchasers also agreed that the Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities in connection with the transaction documents executed and delivered with respect to the Prior Offering, including, without limitation, the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Prior Warrant, each dated as of January 29, 2010, and each of which are terminated in any and all respects.

On March 31, 2010, the Company and the Investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement under which the Company is obligated to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants for resale by the Investors on or prior to April 30, 2010 (the “Filing Date”).  In addition, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to cause the SEC to declare the Registration Statement effective by the earlier of (i) 150 days following the Filing Date; and (ii) 180 days following the Filing Date if the SEC conducts a full review of the Registration Statement.
