Overview of Transaction Terms
●
The transaction consideration of $33.50 per share implies an aggregate fully diluted equity value of approximately $3.8 billion¹ and an adjusted
enterprise value of $7.6 billion¹
$600-700 million in net annual synergies once integration is complete, driven in large part by expanded customer offerings resulting from the greater
breadth and depth of the network
Transaction expected to close following completion of regulatory process, no later than the first half of 2024
In the unlikely event the transaction is not consummated for antitrust reasons, JetBlue will pay (i) Spirit a reverse break-up fee of $70 million and (ii)
shareholders of Spirit a reverse break-up fee of $400 million less any amounts prepaid to shareholders of Spirit prior to termination
This transaction represents a compelling opportunity for Spirit shareholders to receive a cash premium, with regulatory
commitments and value certainty
