quote:

The increased price of $33.50 per Spirit share represents an improvement of $2.00 per share or 6.3% compared to JetBlue’s June 6 proposal, and a 67.6%1 premium to the implied value of the Frontier transaction as of June 17, 2022.

quote:

Reverse break-up fee: JetBlue would continue to offer a reverse break-up fee of $350 million, or $3.20 per Spirit share2, payable to Spirit in the unlikely event the transaction is not consummated for antitrust reasons.

quote:

Accelerated prepayment of $1.50 per share: JetBlue would prepay $1.50 per share in cash to Spirit stockholders promptly following the Spirit stockholder vote approving the combination between Spirit and JetBlue. As a result, Spirit stockholders would receive total aggregate consideration of $33.50 per share in cash, comprised of $32.00 per share in cash at the closing of the transaction and the prepayment of $1.50 per share in cash.


If this deal goes through, it's a 45% increase in investment from the current price of $23/share.

I still have a good bit of SAVE that I got in 2020 for $9, but I'm really thinking of buying a good bit more.

Anyone with good info on if this deal is likely to go through or falter?

Considering the state of the stock market, doesn’t spirit’s board have an obligation to shareholders to accept this deal?

I know they could face a lawsuit if they don’t.

JetBlue has also offered to accept tendered shares at $30, so they could conceivably gain controlling interest backdoor and force a hostile takeover.
