If anything can be said about JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU), it would be that it doesn't easily give up. The airline has offered yet another upgrade to its acquisition bid for Spirit Airlines Inc. (NYSE:SAVE), which is still focused on merging with Frontier Airlines, a unit of Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (NYSE:ULCC).
What Happened: In a Tuesday letter to Spirit shareholders, JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes declared his company’s “already superior proposal” would be sweetened with an “increased accelerated prepayment to $2.50 per share, structured as a cash dividend to Spirit shareholders promptly following the Spirit shareholder vote approving the combination between Spirit and JetBlue (subject to CARES Act limitations).”
