Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Spirit Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”) has entered into a Framework Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2017 (“Framework Agreement”), with certain financial institutions named therein, as initial lenders, BNP Paribas, as facility agent, and Wilmington Trust Company, as security trustee, pursuant to which $228 million of debt financing shall be provided for one Airbus A320-200 aircraft and five Airbus A321-200 aircraft scheduled for delivery under the Company’s existing purchase agreement with Airbus S.A.S. between June 2017 and November 2017.  Each loan to be extended under the Framework Agreement will be funded on or about the delivery date of each aircraft and will be secured by a first-priority security interest in the individual aircraft.  Each loan will have a 12-year term and will amortize quarterly on a mortgage-style basis.  Loans will bear interest payable quarterly on a floating rate basis; provided that the Company may elect in advance a fixed rate basis.  Floating rate loans will bear interest at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.55% to 1.60% depending on the aircraft.  Fixed rate loans, if elected by the Company, will bear interest based, in part, on the applicable LIBOR swap rate plus the applicable floating rate margin.  Each loan is prepayable with a premium prior to the second anniversary of such loan and at par thereafter. The closing of each loan will be subject to delivery and possession of the aircraft, execution and delivery of related loan and aircraft delivery documents and other customary conditions for transactions of this type. In addition, the loan for each aircraft will be, under certain circumstances, cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized to the loans for the other aircraft that are subject to this transaction, and each loan will include customary terms and provisions for transactions of this type, including covenants regarding maintenance, operation, registration, liens and insurance with respect to the aircraft, as well as defaults relating to payment and performance of loan obligations.
