This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule TO (together with any exhibits and annexes attached hereto, and as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this Amendment) is filed by (i) Sundown Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the Purchaser) and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of JetBlue Airways Corporation, a Delaware corporation (JetBlue), and (ii) JetBlue, and amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May 16, 2022 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the Schedule TO) by JetBlue and the Purchaser. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Shares), of Spirit Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Spirit), at $30.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated May 16, 2022 (the Offer to Purchase), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022, and in the related letter of transmittal (the Letter of Transmittal), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022, which, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the Offer.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.
Items 5, 6 and 11.
The Offer to Purchase and Items 5, 6 and 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items 5, 6 and 11 incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The information set forth in Section 11 Background of the Offer; Other Transactions with Spirit is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end:
On May 31, 2022, JetBlue received a request for additional information and documentary material from the Antitrust Division in connection with the Offer.
Item 11.
The Offer to Purchase and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent Item 11 incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The second paragraph of the subsection titled Antitrust Matters set forth in Section 15 Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals; Appraisal Rights is hereby replaced in its entirety by the following:
Pursuant to the requirements of the HSR Act, we may not consummate the Offer until we have filed a Notification and Report Form with respect to the Offer with the Antitrust Division and the FTC and the waiting period has expired. On May 16, 2022, we filed a Notification and Report Form with respect to the Offer with the Antitrust Division and the FTC. Unless otherwise extended, the waiting period applicable to the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2022 (i.e., 15 days following such filing). On May 31, 2022, we received a request for additional information and documentary material from the Antitrust Division in connection with the Offer (the Second Request). The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, ten days after our substantial compliance with such request (unless the tenth day does not fall on a business day, in which case the waiting period will be extended to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, of the next business day), though it is customary to reach a timing agreement with the Antitrust Division to not consummate the Offer for a further period of time after substantial compliance. Thereafter, absent a court order, under U.S. antitrust laws, we can consummate our acquisition of Shares pursuant to the Offer.
Item 12. Exhibits.
Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following exhibits:
