Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Indenture Governing 8.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2025

On November 17, 2022, Spirit Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the completion of the private offering by Spirit IP Cayman Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Brand Issuer”), and Spirit Loyalty Cayman Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Loyalty Issuer” and, together with the Brand Issuer, the “Issuers”) of an aggregate of $600 million principal amount of 8.00% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “Additional Notes”). The Issuers had previously issued 8.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 in an aggregate principal amount of $850 million pursuant to an indenture, dated September 17, 2020 (the “Existing Indenture”), of which $340 million were redeemed on May 10, 2021 (the “Existing Notes” and, together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”). The Additional Notes will not be fungible with the Existing Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will not trade fungibly with the Existing Notes over the facilities of the DTC or otherwise, but will be treated as a single series of senior secured debt securities with the Existing Notes and as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture (as defined herein), including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

The Additional Notes are guaranteed by the Company (the “Parent Guarantor”), Spirit Finance Cayman 1 Ltd. (“HoldCo 1”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Spirit Finance Cayman 2 Ltd., a direct subsidiary of HoldCo 1 and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“HoldCo 2,” and collectively with HoldCo 1, the “Cayman Guarantors” and, collectively with the Parent Guarantor, the “Guarantors”). The Additional Notes will be secured by, among other things, a first priority lien on the core assets of the Company’s loyalty programs (comprising cash proceeds from its Free Spirit co-branded credit card programs, its Spirit Saver$ Club program membership fees, and certain intellectual property required or necessary to operate the loyalty programs) as well as the Company’s brand intellectual property. The Additional Notes were issued pursuant to the Existing Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2022 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Existing Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral custodian.

The Issuers used the net proceeds received from the offering to fund the notes reserve account and after funding of the notes reserve account, distributed the remaining net proceeds of the offering to the Company. The Company intends to use such net proceeds to repay (a) the outstanding principal balance of the 5.11% Series 2017-1C EETC due through 2023 at maturity on February 15, 2023 and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the 4.93% Series 2015-1C EETC due through 2023 at maturity on April 1, 2023, and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will mature on September 20, 2025. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum, payable in quarterly installments on January 20, April 20, July 20 and October 20 of each year, beginning January 20, 2023 (each a “Payment Date”).

Terms of the Notes

The terms of the Notes are described below.

The Additional Notes will be secured on a senior basis by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Issuers, other than excluded property and subject to certain permitted liens (collectively, the “Issuer Collateral”). The note guarantee of the Company will be secured by (i) a first-priority security interest in 100% of the equity interests in HoldCo 1 (other than the special share issued to the Special Shareholder (as defined in the Indenture)) and (ii) certain other collateral owned by the Company, including, to the extent permitted by such agreements or otherwise by operation of law, any of the Company’s rights under the Free Spirit Agreements and the IP Agreements (each as defined herein) (collectively, the “Parent Collateral”). The note guarantees of the Cayman Guarantors will be secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Cayman Guarantors, other than excluded property and subject to certain permitted liens (collectively, the “Subsidiary Collateral” and, together with the Issuer Collateral and the Parent Collateral, the “Collateral”), including pledges of the equity of their respective subsidiaries.

The Additional Notes and the note guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Existing Notes; are effectively senior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuers and the Guarantors that is not secured by a lien, or is secured by a junior-priority lien, on the Collateral, to the extent of the value of the Collateral securing the Notes; are effectively subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness of the Issuers and the Guarantors that is secured by liens on assets that do not constitute part of the Collateral, to the extent of the value of such assets; and rank senior in right of payment to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness. The Issuers and Cayman Guarantors are currently the Company’s only subsidiaries. To the extent the Company creates or acquires any other subsidiaries in the future, the Additional Notes and note guarantees will be



structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations, including trade payables, of any such newly formed or after-acquired subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Additional Notes.

The Issuers, at their option, may redeem some or all of the Additional Notes on or after September 20, 2023 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. Prior to September 20, 2023, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Additional Notes, plus the “make-whole” premium described in the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of certain mandatory prepayment events and mandatory repurchase offer events, the Issuers will be required to make a prepayment on the Additional Notes, or offer to repurchase the Additional Notes, pro rata to the extent of any net cash proceeds received in connection with such events, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be prepaid, plus, in some cases, an applicable premium.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, the Issuers may be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the Notes then outstanding at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the repurchase date. The closing of the merger between Spirit and JetBlue Airways Corporation (“JetBlue”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 28, 2022, by and among Spirit, JetBlue and Sundown Acquisition Corp. is not expected to constitute a change of control for the purposes of the Indenture.

The Indenture contains certain covenants that limit the ability of the Issuers, the Cayman Guarantors and, in certain circumstances, the Company to, among other things: (i) make restricted payments; (ii) incur certain additional indebtedness, including with respect to sales of pre-paid miles in excess of $25.0 million during any fiscal year; (iii) create or incur certain liens on the Collateral; (iv) merge, consolidate or sell assets; (v) engage in certain business activities; (vi) sell, transfer or otherwise convey the Collateral; (vii) exit from, terminate or substantially reduce the Free Spirit Program business or modify the terms of the Free Spirit Program, except in certain circumstances; and (viii) terminate, amend, waive, supplement or modify any IP Agreement (as defined in the Indenture), except under certain circumstances.

The Indenture also requires the Issuers and, in certain circumstances, the Company, to comply with certain affirmative covenants, including depositing the Transaction Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) in collection accounts, with amounts to be distributed for the payment of fees, principal and interest on the Additional Notes pursuant to a payment waterfall described in the Indenture, and certain financial reporting requirements. In addition, the Indenture requires the Company to maintain minimum liquidity at the end of any business day of at least $400 million.

In connection with the issuance of the Existing Notes, the Company had previously contributed to the Brand Issuer its rights to certain intellectual property of the Company, including all trademarks, service marks, brand names, designs, and logos that include the word “Spirit” or any successor brand and the “spirit.com” domain name and similar domain names or any successor domain names (the “Brand IP”). The Brand Issuer granted a license to HoldCo 2 (the “Issuer Brand License”), and HoldCo 2 then granted a sublicense to the Company (the “Parent Brand Sublicense”), to use the Brand IP (such licenses, the “Brand IP Licenses”). In connection with the issuance of the Additional Notes, the Brand Issuer and HoldCo 2 entered into an amendment to the Issuer Brand License and HoldCo 2 and the Company entered into an amendment to the Parent Brand Sublicense to increase the license fee paid under the Brand IP Licenses. The Brand IP Licenses will be terminated, and the Company’s right to use such Brand IP will cease, upon specified termination events, including, but not limited to, the Company’s failure to assume the Brand Sublicense in a restructuring process. The termination of the Brand IP Licenses would be an event of default under the Indenture and in certain circumstances would trigger a liquidated damages payment in an amount that is several multiples of the principal amount of the Notes.

Further, in connection with the issuance of the Existing Notes, the Company had also previously contributed to the Loyalty Issuer its rights to certain member data and certain other intellectual property owned or purported to be owned, or later developed or acquired and owned or purported to be owned, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including the Issuers) and required or necessary to operate the Free Spirit Program or Spirit Saver$ Club (the “Loyalty Program IP”). The Loyalty Issuer granted a license to HoldCo 2, and HoldCo 2 then granted a sublicense to the Company (the “Loyalty Program Sublicense”), to use the Loyalty Program IP (such licenses, the “Loyalty Program IP Licenses”). The Loyalty Program IP Licenses will be terminated, and the Company’s right to use such Loyalty Program IP will cease, upon specified termination events, including, but not limited to, the Company’s failure to assume the Loyalty Program Sublicense in a restructuring process. The termination of the Loyalty Program IP Licenses would be an event of default under the Indenture.

Subject to certain materiality thresholds, qualifications, exceptions, “baskets” and grace and cure periods, the Indenture also includes certain customary events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, bankruptcy events, and a change of control of an Issuer. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, at the discretion of the Permitted Noteholders (as defined in the Indenture), the outstanding obligations under the Indenture may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately.

The foregoing summary of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete text of the Existing Indenture, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is



incorporated herein by reference, and the full and complete text of the Supplemental Indenture, including the form of Additional Notes, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 4.2 and Exhibit 4.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1.    INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL. The Co-Issuers promise to pay the outstanding principal amount on the Notes on September 20, 2025. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum on the outstanding principal amount thereof, provided that if the LTV Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) exceeds 62.50%, the interest rate on the Notes for each subsequent interest period will increase by 2.00% to 10.00% until such time as the LTV Ratio does not exceed 62.5% . Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date and will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including October 20, 2022, to but excluding such Payment Date, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months; provided that the first interest Payment Date shall be January 20, 2023. Interest will also be paid on each prepayment date, redemption date or repurchase date, as the case may be, as provided in the Indenture on the amount of principal so paid for the period from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance to but excluding such date of payment.
2.    METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Co-Issuers will pay interest, principal and premium, if any, on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, provided, that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to interest, principal and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Co-Issuers or the Paying Agent. U.S. Dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor under or in connection with the Notes, the Indenture and the Guarantees.

The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Co-Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
