1 On November 18, 2024, Spirit Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), was notified by the staff of the NYSE Regulation (“NYSE Regulation”) that it plans to file a delisting application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist the common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) upon the completion of all applicable procedures and that trading in the Common Stock was suspended immediately. Ten days after the Form 25 is filed by NYSE Regulation, the delisting will become effective. The deregistration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be effective 90 days, or such shorter period as the SEC may determine, after the filing of the Form 25. The Common Stock began trading on the OTC Pink Market on November 19, 2024 under the symbol “SAVEQ”.
Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On November 18, 2024, Spirit Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “NYSE Notice”) from the staff of NYSE Regulation (“NYSE Regulation”) that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and that trading in the Common Stock was suspended immediately on November 18, 2024. NYSE Regulation reached its decision that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 802.01D after the Company disclosed in its November 18, 2024 Current Report on Form 8-K that the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Chapter 11 Case”) on November 18, 2024.
The NYSE will apply to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Common Stock upon completion of applicable procedures. The Company does not intend to appeal the determination and, therefore, it is expected that the Common Stock will be delisted from the NYSE. As a result of the suspension and expected delisting, the Common Stock commenced trading on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “SAVEQ.” The OTC Pink Market is a significantly more limited market than the NYSE, and quotation on the OTC Pink Market likely results in a less liquid market for existing and potential holders of the Common Stock to trade in the Common Stock and could further depress the trading price of the Common Stock. The Company can provide no assurance that its Common Stock will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Common Stock on this market, or whether the trading volume of the Common Stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market. The transition to over the counter markets will not affect the Company’s business operations.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) contains various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. All statements other than statements of historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the expected delisting of the Common Stock from NYSE and the trading price and liquidity of the Common Stock on the OTC Pink Market. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. Risks or uncertainties (i) that are not currently known to us, (ii) that we currently deem to be immaterial, or (iii) that could apply to any company, could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or future results.
Cautionary Note Regarding the Chapter 11 Case
The Company cautions that trading in the Common Stock during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Common Stock may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Common Stock in the Chapter 11 Case. The Company expects that holders of the Common Stock could experience a significant or complete loss on their investment, depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Case.
