Frontier initially had a cash-and-stock deal with Spirit in February. After JetBlue’s offer in April, Frontier had revised the cash component of its deal to $4.13 per share and the reverse termination fee to $350m.
Shareholders of Spirit Airlines have been asked to adjourn a vote on a proposed merger until 27 July.
