Merger Arbitrage Mondays – JetBlue Wins Bidding War For Spirit Airlines

  • August 1, 2022

Merger activity increased significantly last week with eight new deals announced, three deals completed and one deal terminated. Four out of the eight deals announced last week were potential deals in the works.

The bidding war for Spirit Airlines (SAVE) finally came to an end last week with Spirit terminating its deal with Frontier (ULCC) and agreeing to be acquired by JetBlue (JBLU).

We wrote in detail about the bidding war for Spirit Airlines on June 13, 2022, in an article titled, “Merger Arbitrage Mondays – The Bidding War For Spirit Airlines Continues“.

JetBlue Wins The Bidding War For Spirit Airlines

Ahead of the shareholder vote, Frontier had sweetened its offer for Spirit by increasing the cash and boosting the breakup fee it would have to pay if the deal was blocked by regulators. It also promised to pay part of the price instantly on receiving shareholder approval. JetBlue countered Frontier’s offer with a higher breakup fee, a bigger upfront payment and the addition of a ticking dividend-like payment that would start next year to counter uncertainty with respect to the amount of time it might take for the deal to be completed.

JetBlue’s initial counter offer for Spirit Airlines on April 5, 2022 was for $33 per share. The two airlines that battled it out for four months have finally decided to merge to create the fifth largest U.S. airline. The two companies also have a huge task ahead of them to persuade U.S. antitrust regulators to allow this merger to go through.

JetBlue’s acquisition of Spirit is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. According to the merger agreement, “In the event the transaction is consummated on or before December 2023, the transaction consideration will be $33.50 per share, increasing over time to up to $34.15 per share, in the event the transaction is consummated at the outside date in July 2024.”

Back in 2016, JetBlue lost a bidding war to Alaska Air Group (ALK) and missed a chance to acquire Virgin America. The current spread on the deal is over 35%. According to an article in The Wall Street Journal,

“The airlines will likely face intense scrutiny from the Justice Department, which for years has been concerned that airline competition is dwindling and has been criticized by consumer groups and antitrust advocates for allowing so many combinations to go forward.”

Regulator’s jobs have been made a little easier with this deal because Spirit’s management kept reiterating regulatory concerns while rejecting JetBlue’s increasingly attractive offers in the past. Hence the very attractive 35%+ spread on the deal.
