Schwab emailed me that the Tender Offer was extended until July 28th. Nothing about the vote though.

The vote is still the 8th (for now til NK changes it again) and didn't jb extend the option to tender your shares til the 29th.

They keep delaying the vote the BOD is just going to look more like clowns than they already do, and won’t have any golden parachute when they’re removed.

We're 2 days away from the "vote." Something is not cricket. No idea what is going on but I fully suspect one of 3 things:
  1. Spirit delays vote for another day citing "negotiations" with F9/B6
  2. Spirit pulls out of merger all together trying to remain standalone
  3. Spirit and JB have come to an agreement (very, very, very unlikely)
But there's just no way a vote is happening on the 8th...... right?

Why would Frontier let them out of the agreement with no financial penalty?

I think they are backed into a corner and it’s either superior or a vote and the resulting risks that entails. If the Frontier is voted down there is no superior debate and it comes down to formulating a new plan on how staying independent is more valuable than JetBlue cash money which seems like a difficult argument to facilitate.

I would think after the debacle last week that the biggest shareholders have made their mandate clear.

Yes. The merger agreement and the $94.2m termination fee basically has Spirit on the hook for that even if they dont have the vote. So even if they say "we are taking our ball and going home without a vote," they still have to pay Frontier because the language is "adjournment or postponement" of the special meeting. So they can run, but they cant hide.

So I would be willing to bet Teddy loses his job if all he has to show for this at the end of the day is $94.2m off the Spirit books, which is around 3% of the company's total equity value.

"Hey I lost 3% of our entire value because of my poor handling of this merger, can I come to work tomorrow?"

Would not surprise me if F9 makes a new offer at the 11th hour to try and steal the vote right before it closes. Basically try to steal the merger vote out from JB

You know they’re plotting and scheming something.
