Spirit Airlines , Inc. (OTC Pink: OTC:SAVEQ), currently trading at $0.34 with a market capitalization of $448 million, announced on Tuesday that it has extended the deadline for its $350 million equity rights offering to February 13, 2025.
According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued based on its Fair Value metrics, despite facing significant challenges. This decision comes as the company continues to navigate through its Chapter 11 bankruptcy process, which was initiated on November 18, 2024.
The airline, which filed for bankruptcy alongside its subsidiaries, is currently undergoing joint administration in the Southern District of New York's bankruptcy court. With total debt of $580 million and a current ratio of 1.3, the company's financial position remains challenging. The extension of the equity offering, originally set to close on January 30, 2025, allows potential investors an additional 14 days to participate.
This move is in line with the Equity Rights Offering Procedures and was made following consultations with the Required Backstop Commitment Parties. Spirit Airlines reserves the right to further extend the deadline as deemed necessary.
Investors and stakeholders are watching closely as Spirit Airlines works through its restructuring plan, which includes the equity rights offering as a key component. The outcome of these efforts will likely have significant implications for the company's future operations and financial health.
