Spirit and Frontier announced their plan to merge in February, and Spirit's board stood by that deal even after JetBlue made a higher-priced offer in April. If the deal doesn't close due to antitrust reasons, JetBlue will pay Spirit a reverse break-up fee of $70 million and pay Spirit shareholders $400 million, minus any amounts paid to the shareholders prior to termination. There is also a ticking fee of 10 cents per share each month starting in January 2023 through closing to compensate Spirit shareholders for any delay in winning regulatory approval. JetBlue said Thursday that it would pay $33.50 per share in cash for Spirit, including a prepayment of $2.50 per share in cash payable once Spirit stockholders approve the transaction. If that happens, the combined airline would be based in JetBlue's hometown of New York and led by Hayes. The companies said they expect to conclude the regulatory process and close the transaction no later than the first half of 2024. JetBlue and Spirit will continue to operate independently until the agreement is approved by regulators and Spirit shareholders, with their separate loyalty programs and customer accounts. If approved, the deal is expected to close in the first half of 2024 Others, however, say that Frontier will grow - it has a large number of planes on order - and fill any gap left by Spirit in the cheapest segment of the air-travel market. "Once Spirit is absorbed (into JetBlue), there is no question that fares are going to go up." "Spirit is going to disappear, and with it, its low cost structure," said William McGee of the anti-merger American Economic Liberties Project. Spirit and similar rivals Frontier and Allegiant charge rock-bottom fares that appeal to the most budget-conscious leisure travelers, although they tack on more fees that can raise the cost of flying. Still, some consumer advocates worry that fares will rise if it disappears. Spirit Airlines regularly ends up as the worst, or close to the worst, when airlines are ranked by the rate of consumer complaints.
