Gold prices steady amid Fed rate cut hopes; Trump-Putin talks awaited
Spirit Airlines , Inc. (OTC Pink: OTC:SAVEQ), a major American low-cost airline with a current market capitalization of $448 million, announced today an extension of the deadline for its equity rights offering. Initially set to conclude on February 13, 2025, the offering will now remain open until 5pm EST on February 20, 2025.
The extension comes in the wake of the company’s November 2024 voluntary chapter 11 bankruptcy filings, a strategic move aimed at restructuring its total debt of $579.7 million and securing long-term viability. The equity rights offering, which aims to raise $350 million, is a critical component of Spirit’s reorganization plan. According to InvestingPro, the company maintains a current ratio of 1.3, indicating its ability to meet short-term obligations.
The decision to extend the deadline was made in consultation with the Required Backstop Commitment Parties, as outlined in the Equity Rights Offering Procedures. Spirit reserves the right to further postpone the deadline if necessary. Despite current challenges, InvestingPro data shows the company maintains a GOOD overall Financial Health Score, with particularly strong metrics in price momentum and profitability potential.
This move follows a series of significant events for the airline, including the delisting of its common stock from the New York Stock Exchange in December 2024 and the commencement of trading on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol "SAVEQ" since November 19, 2024. The company currently generates $215.24 million in revenue and $273.63 million in EBITDA.
In other recent news, Spirit Airlines has postponed a crucial Chapter 11 bankruptcy hearing to February 13, 2025. The airline is currently undergoing a restructuring process, which includes a $350 million equity rights offering. The deadline for this offering has recently been extended to coincide with the new date of the bankruptcy hearing. In a bid to bolster its financial stance post-bankruptcy, Spirit Airlines has secured commitments for a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility.
Simultaneously, the airline launched a $350 million equity rights offering as part of its restructuring efforts under Chapter 11. Amid these developments, Spirit Airlines reported an event of default under its financial obligations, accelerating the maturity of its debts due to its voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
All these recent developments are critical steps in Spirit Airlines’ pre-arranged plan of reorganization, aiming to stabilize the airline’s finances and position it for future success. However, the outcomes of the bankruptcy proceedings and the success of the equity offering remain uncertain, as highlighted by Spirit Airlines and various analysts.
