F9 sent a letter to NK yesterday, filed with the SEC by NK today. Some notable excerpts …


“However, we still remain very far from obtaining approval from Spirit stockholders based on the proxy data we received as of July 8, 2022.”

“Frontier hereby requests that Spirit adjourn its stockholder meeting until 11:00 am ET on July 27, 2022 in order to permit additional time to solicit additional voting proxies in favor of the transaction”

”we hereby request that the Board of Directors of Spirit publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) following the public announcement of the Latest JetBlue Acquisition Proposal within ten business days following the date of this letter”

“Additionally, in order to bring this process to an orderly conclusion, we believe that it is in the best interest of both your and our stockholders for Frontier to provide clarity on its response to the Latest JetBlue Acquisition Proposal. In line with our recent discussions, Frontier does not intend to propose any further modifications to the financial terms of the Merger Agreement, and Spirit should consider the terms of the Merger Agreement, as most recently amended on June 24, 2022, as representing Frontier’s last, best and final offer with respect to the pending merger.”


“As has been the case throughout this process, we remain committed to this transaction. However, should the Spirit Board of Directors conclude that it would instead desire to pursue an alternative transaction with JetBlue, we would appreciate being advised of that determination. Further, should this be the determination of the Spirit Board, we would be prepared to consider waiving our “match” right with respect to the Latest JetBlue Acquisition Proposal under appropriate circumstances.”


I wouldn’t say things are souring between F9 and NK, but this doesn’t sound quite as incestuous as they once were.

Have to agree with your last sentence. Although reading between the lines, Top Gun acquisition Corp isn't doing so well.

I like how they said they weren't going to increase their offer but they want time to "convince" shareholders. aka, bribe just enough institutional investors to cross the 51% threshold and screw the rest.

Grasping at straws, hopefully we’ll get a new BOD out of this as well to guide us through the acquisition. Guessing the shareholders are fed up

This is the only hope for those of us that are pulling for b6. TC and current bod will never allow B6 to happen.
