The bidding war for Spirit started at the beginning of the year after Frontier Group Holdings announced a definitive merger agreement with the carrier.

At $33 per share, the offer represented a 50% premium to Spirit’s closing share price on the day before the announcement., the company persisted, offering several revised proposals since then.
