This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule 13D”) originally filed by the Reporting Persons October 23, 2024, relates to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Vertical Aerospace Ltd. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

This Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

As previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Schedule 13D, the Convertible Notes Investor submitted the October 20th Proposal to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) regarding a potential transaction intended to address the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ immediate funding needs. As a result of continued engagement with the Company’s controlling shareholder and the Board as the Company continues to explore all available alternative options, on November 13, 2024, the Convertible Notes Investor submitted a modified proposal to the Board, which is filed as Exhibit 7 attached to this Amendment No. 1 (the “November 13th Proposal”). As set forth in the November 13th Proposal, the proposed transaction was modified to provide for the immediate conversion of approximately $136 million of the principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes at an amended conversion price of $2.75 per share, the adjustment of the conversion price of the remaining notes to $3.50 per share, and a commitment by the Convertible Notes Investor to fund $25 million to the Company (which is not conditional on third party fundraising), in addition to a backstop of up to $25 million in an equity raise by the Company. The Convertible Notes Investor will continue to engage with the Board and the Company’s controlling shareholder to address the funding needs of the Company and its subsidiaries, including through written correspondence, to advance the November 13th Proposal and/or other alternatives to address the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ immediate and long-term funding needs. The terms set forth in the November 13th Proposal are accordingly not final and are subject to change. There can be no assurance that the financing transactions set forth in the November 13th Proposal will be consummated on the terms set forth therein or otherwise. Subject to the agreements described in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change their position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans, including with respect to influence on management or the Board regarding the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, and engage with advisors, the Company or other persons regarding such matters.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Exhibit 6	Joint Filing Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2022 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 1 to the Schedule 13G filed by the Reporting Persons on February 11, 2022).

Exhibit 7	November 13th Proposal of Convertible Notes Investor
