Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 24, 2026, Frontier Airlines, Inc. (“Frontier”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), and Barclays Bank Delaware (“Barclays”) entered into a Seventh Amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Frontier Airlines, Inc. Credit Card Affinity Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Card Affinity Agreement”), pursuant to which members of the Company’s Frontier MilesTM loyalty program earn travel miles for making purchases using a FRONTIER Airlines World MasterCard® issued by Barclays. The Credit Card Affinity Agreement provides for joint marketing, grants certain benefits to co-branded credit cardholders (“Cardholders”) and allows Barclays to market using the Company’s customer database. Cardholders earn travel miles under the Frontier MilesTM program and the Company sells travel miles at agreed-upon rates to Barclays and earns fees from Barclays for the acquisition, retention and use of the co-branded credit card by Cardholders.
Pursuant to the Seventh Amendment, the term of the Credit Card Affinity Agreement has been extended from December 31, 2029 to June 30, 2037. The Seventh Amendment also modifies certain other terms including but not limited to, enhancements to the net compensation expected to be earned by Frontier under the Credit Card Affinity Agreement as well as providing for pre-paid consideration, which was slightly better than anticipated and was received by Frontier prior to the end of June 2026.
In connection with the Seventh Amendment, Frontier’s pre-purchased miles facility’s (the “Facility”) aggregate maximum facility amount increased from $200 million to $375 million, with the actual facility size subject to certain program requirements measured on a semi-annual basis. Consistent with the Credit Card Affinity Agreement, the Seventh Amendment extended the term of the Facility to June 30, 2037 and requires payback of any borrowed amounts under the Facility beginning June 2036 in 12 equal monthly installments. Further, the Seventh Amendment amended certain of the Facility’s financial covenants.
The preceding description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Seventh Amendment, a copy of which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference to the extent responsive to this Item 2.03.
