Spirit Airlines, Inc. announced it has postponed its Special Meeting of Stockholders relating to the proposed merger agreement with Frontier Group Holdings, Inc., parent company of Frontier Airlines, Inc., until June 30, at 9 a.m. ET.

Spirit stockholders do not need to take any action at this time. Spirit remains bound by the terms of the merger agreement with Frontier, and Spirit's board has not determined that either JetBlue's unsolicited tender offer or its updated proposal received on June 6 constitutes a Superior Proposal as defined in the merger agreement with Frontier and has made no change to its recommendation that Spirit stockholders adopt the merger agreement with Frontier.
