Spirit Postpones Merger Vote For Third Time

• Spirit’s shareholder vote on its Frontier merger is facing a rolling delay.

• The third delay on the meeting came late Thursday, hours before the vote was supposed to take place. The meeting, which had been postponed last week, and earlier in June, is now scheduled for next Friday.

• Spirit said it was delaying the vote “to continue discussions with Frontier and JetBlue Airways,” the two airlines that are trying to engineer a merger with Spirit. The delay could signal improving odds for JetBlue’s bid, which would offer shareholders a substantially bigger payout.

• Last week, when the meeting was postponed for a second time, The Wall Street Journal reported — citing people familiar with the matter — that it was looking difficult for the Frontier deal to be approved by Spirit’s shareholders.

• The merger with Frontier has had the unwavering support of Spirit’s board since it was announced in February. JetBlue came to the table with its offer in March. While that bid is still viewed as a hostile takeover that would spoil the Frontier deal, Spirit said Thursday that its board was in talks with JetBlue’s management, in addition to Frontier.

Delta Air Lines Q2 Preview

KEY POINTS:

• On deck to report quarterly results before the market opens on Wednesday is the classic airliner Delta Air Lines DAL.

• Year-to-date, DAL shares have had a heightened level of volatility, declining more than 25% and underperforming the S&P 500 by a wide margin.

• Additionally, shares trade at an enticing 38% discount relative to its Zacks Industry. DAL has a Style Score of an A for Value.
