Spirit Airlines (NYSE:SAVE) dropped 6% after a NYSE notice reportedly indicated that shareholders would have to be holders of record in order to get a $2.50/share special dividend associated with the company's planned sale to JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU).

An NYSE notice today indicated that shareholders of record on Sept. 12 would be the only holders able to get a $2.50/share special dividend as part of the original agreement from late July, according to traders, who saw a copy of the NYSE notice that was circulating.

JetBlue (JBLU) announced in late July that it agreed to acquire Spirit Airlines (SAVE) for $33.50/share in cash, including a prepayment of $2.50 per share in cash payable upon Spirit stockholders’ approval of the transaction.

There was an expectation before the NYSE notice today that an individual didn't have to be a shareholder of record to get the $2.50/share dividend, according to traders.

JetBlue (JBLU) and Spirit (SAVE) didn't immediately respond to Seeking Alpha request for comment.

Earlier this month Spirit (SAVE) set its holder vote for its sale to JetBlue for Oct. 19.

Earlier this month Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) requested that that the U.S. Department of Justice heavily scrutinize the airline deal and ultimately block the combination.

This should not be a surprise. The stock market is really bizarre.

It's almost pricing like the deal won't go through, like twitter was.
Then BAM!

I wonder what will happen here. Personally in the camp of it gets approved.

Buying equities now is like trying to catch a falling knife…. 1-2 year paper is yielding north of 4%, seems a good risk/reward to me now….

I like equities and when they are down is the time to buy them. And I’m genuinely impressed by how much NK has been able to increase their flying and revenue over 2019, BUT…

Buying stock in the company you work for voluntarily is a bad idea. UA pilots were REQUIRED to take some of their payment in UAL stock for a few years before UA’s last bankruptcy when it became worthless.

Single point failure modes are risky. Too risky for this kid.

It can be risky, if you don’t know what you’re doing and also don’t leverage your future to it. I started buying in early 2020 and sold half that June for a double. Playing with house money now until the JetBlue transaction closes at…. What was it, $33-something??

Point of the story, I’m trading our company’s stock, however I never bought with the intention of it being a long term asset. Yes, you can buy your company’s stock….

Didn’t say you couldn’t. Just that I’d rather put it in some broadly diversified elsewhere. YMMV.

it’s almost a double from here if it goes through. And if it doesn’t it’s like the rest of my crap kicking my nutz. Good luck!
