The following note was sent from Ted Christie, the Chief Executive Officer of Spirit Airlines, Inc., to all Spirit team members on May 31, 2022. Spirit Family, As you may have seen, today we issued a press release commenting on the report from Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) regarding our merger agreement with Frontier. ISS is an independent proxy advisory firm that provides research and recommendations to help stockholders who are exercising their right to vote on various matters with the public companies they own. In this case, ISS made a recommendation to Spirit stockholders regarding how to vote on our Frontier merger proposal. We disagree with ISS’ recommendation against the Frontier-Spirit merger for several reasons: • We believe their analysis was overfocused on the absence of a reverse termination fee in the deal. This is a fee that is sometimes included in merger transactions and provides for the payment by one party to the other party if the transaction does not receive regulatory approval. There is no reverse termination fee in the Frontier-Spirit merger, but JetBlue agreed to pay such a fee in connection with their competing merger proposal. • As we said in the release, we have consistently maintained (as ISS also acknowledges) that the JetBlue proposal carries significantly greater regulatory obstacles and that if we were to enter into an agreement with JetBlue we would absolutely insist on such a fee to compensate Spirit and its stockholders for that increased risk. • ISS did not recognize the elevated business disruption that Spirit would face from a lengthy review and litigation process ultimately resulting from a failed transaction with JetBlue after 18-24 months. We also believe ISS did not adequately weigh the loss of substantial value Spirit stockholders would otherwise have received in a merger between Spirit and Frontier. We continue to believe the combination with Frontier is in the best interest of our stockholders, Team Members and Guests. The Spirit Board undertook a thorough and robust process in negotiating and signing the merger agreement with Frontier, and we determined that the combination presents a very

compelling value creation opportunity -- ISS themselves acknowledged the “robust strategic rationale” of the deal. Notably, ISS also recommended Spirit stockholders do not vote JetBlue’s proxy card, indicating they still see a potential path forward for Spirit to merge with Frontier. We can’t predict how this recommendation might impact our stockholder vote, which is scheduled for Friday, June 10, 2022. However, I can tell you our team will continue to work diligently to garner support among our stockholders with the goal of securing a majority of votes in favor of the Frontier merger. If you are a Spirit stockholder, you may see some emails or posts on social media related to that effort with instructions about how to exercise your right to vote, and I encourage you to participate. I want to reiterate how proud I am of this Spirit Family, and I promise to continue sharing as much as I can with you as soon as I’m able. Ted

The following note was sent from Ted Christie, the Chief Executive Officer of Spirit Airlines, Inc., to all Spirit officers on May 31, 2022. Officer Note All, We just issued a press release and sent a note to all Team Members regarding the Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) recommendation against our Frontier merger. We understand many Team Members may not know how to interpret this news, so we’ve included a few FAQ below to help you field questions from your teams. Thanks for your continued leadership and support for our colleagues. Ted FAQ for use to answer questions from Team Members 1. Who is ISS, and what role do they play? Are they a Spirit stockholder? • ISS is an independent proxy advisory firm. It provides research and recommendations to help stockholders exercise their right to vote on various matters with the public companies they own. • They are not a stockholder. • As you may have seen, today we issued a press release commenting on the report from ISS regarding our merger agreement with Frontier. 2. Why did they recommend against the merger agreement? What is your reaction to the recommendation? • As we said in the release, we disagree with ISS’ recommendation as we believe it fails to adequately weigh the lengthy timetable and elevated business disruption risk of a Spirit-JetBlue transaction. • ISS appears overfocused on the absence of a reverse termination fee in the Frontier- Spirit deal. We have consistently maintained (as ISS also acknowledges) that the JetBlue proposal carries significantly greater regulatory obstacles and absolutely should commit to pay Spirit such a fee if its transaction did not receive regulatory approval. However, because we believed that the Frontier transaction presented a lower level of risk and that the interests of Frontier and Spirit were better aligned due to the fact that our merger with Frontier was primarily a stock for stock transaction, we did not insist on such a reverse termination fee in our negotiations with Frontier. • ISS acknowledged that the Frontier transaction has “robust strategic rationale” and called JetBlue’s offer “defensive” and “opportunistic.” • Notably, ISS also recommended Spirit stockholders do not vote JetBlue’s proxy card, indicating they still see a potential path forward for Spirit to merge with Frontier. • Despite ISS’ report, we continue to believe that the combination with Frontier is in the best interest of our stockholders, Team Members and Guests.

• As such, the Spirit Board continues to unanimously recommend that Spirit stockholders vote FOR the merger proposal with Frontier. 3. What is a reverse termination fee? • A reverse termination fee is a fee payable by the buyer to the seller if the transaction cannot be completed due as a result of the failure to obtain regulatory approval. • The JetBlue proposal includes a payment of $200 million that JetBlue will have to pay Spirit in the event a Spirit-JetBlue transaction fails to be consummated for regulatory reasons. 4. What does this mean of our merger with Frontier? • The Board continues to unanimously recommend that Spirit stockholders vote FOR the merger proposal with Frontier. • As a next step, on Friday, June 10, 2022, our stockholders are scheduled to vote on whether to approve the proposed merger with Frontier at our Special Meeting of Stockholders. • Until then, our team will work diligently to garner support among our stockholders with the goal of securing a majority of votes in favor of the Frontier merger. • The regulatory review process for our combination will continue to proceed as planned. 5. I thought Spirit’s Board already rejected JetBlue’s offer. What’s changed? • Our rejections of JetBlue’s proposal and tender offer still stand. Nothing has changed. 6. Does this mean Spirit could still be acquired by JetBlue? • The Board continues to unanimously recommend that Spirit stockholders vote FOR the merger proposal with Frontier.
