Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqGS:ULCC) cancelled the acquisition of Spirit Airlines, Inc. Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqGS:ULCC) submitted the proposal to acquire Spirit Airlines, Inc. on February 4, 2025. Under the terms of the New Proposal, which was subject to various conditions, Spirit’s stakeholders would receive $400 million principal amount of second-lien debt issued by Frontier and 19.0% of Frontier’s common equity following the proposed combination. The New Proposal would not require the Company to complete its previously announced $350 million equity rights offering, and required a waiver of the Bankruptcy Court-approved $35 million termination fee that would otherwise be owed under the Backstop Commitment Agreement, dated Nov. 18, 2024, by and among the Company and the other stakeholders party thereto (the “Backstop Commitment Agreement”). Notably, the New Proposal did not address certain material risks and issues previously identified by the Company, including that the New Proposal would deliver less in value to the Company’s stakeholders than contemplated by the Company’s existing plan of reorganization, is uncertain as to timing and completion, would result in extended and materially more costly and uncertain chapter 11 proceedings, and has uncertainties with regard to needed regulatory and court approvals. The Company’s management and Board of Directors, consistent with their fiduciary duties, carefully reviewed the New Proposal in consultation with the Company’s external legal and financial advisors.

Spirit Airlines, Inc. Provides Operating Guidance for the Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter of 2024 and Full Year 2025 Spirit Airlines, Inc. provided operating guidance for the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2024 and full year 2025. The Company’s third quarter 2024 capacity was down 1.2% year over year.
The Company estimates its fourth quarter 2024 capacity will be down approximately 20% year over year.
