Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 22, 2010, the Board of Directors of Alpine Air Express, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alpine Air”) approved a redemption of 20,000 shares of the Alpine Air Series A 6.5% Preferred Stock held by Mallette Holdings, LLLP (“Mallette Holdings”), to be redeemed at its stated value of $9.104 per share.

On July 31, 2007, Mallette Holdings had exchanged 1,000,000 shares of Series A 6.5% Preferred Stock that it owned of Alpine Aviation, Inc (“Alpine Aviation”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alpine Air, for 1,000,000 shares of a new class of $0.001 par value Series A 6.5% Preferred Stock of Alpine Air. The Alpine Air Series A 6.5% Preferred Stock extended by three (3) years the original Redemption Date of the Alpine Aviation Series A 6.5% Preferred Stock that was exchanged by Mallette Holdings and included a conversion feature that was not part of the rights, privileges, and preferences of the Alpine Aviation Series A 6.5% Preferred Stock. The 1,000,000 shares of Series A 6.5% Preferred Stock of Alpine Air has a Stated Value and Liquidation Preference of $9.104 per share (the same Stated Value and Liquidation Preference of the Alpine Aviation Series A 6.5% Preferred Stock) and were deemed to be issued as of May 1, 2007. The Alpine Air Series A 6.5% Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock of Alpine Air at any time until December 1, 2011, based upon the amount of the Stated Value and Liquidation Preference, at a price equivalent to the current closing market price of Alpine Air’s common stock on its principal public market at the close of business on the day prior to the conversion date.
