Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Registration Rights Agreement Consent and Waiver
On March 5, 2026, Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain beneficial and record holders (the “Holders”) of the shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and the warrants of the Company entered into a consent and waiver (the “Consent and Waiver”) to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2025 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Consent and Waiver, the Holders, which hold a majority of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), agreed to waive any rights under Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of the Registration Rights Agreement and consented to the Company filing a post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No.333-288706) to terminate the registration of all shares of Common Stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to such registration statement.
The foregoing description of the Consent and Waiver does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Consent and Waiver, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Cautionary Note Regarding the Chapter 11 Cases
The Company cautions that trading in the Common Stock during the pendency of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases filed by the Company and certain of its affiliates on August 29, 2025 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Common Stock may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Common Stock in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects that holders of the Common Stock could experience a significant or complete loss on their investment, depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases.
