01. Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events. Existing AerCap Aircraft Leases On August 25, 2025, the Company received an additional written notice from the Lessor with respect to 37 existing lease agreements with certain affiliates of AerCap, dated as of 2013, 2018, 2019 and 2021, respectively, by and between the Lessor and Spirit Airlines, as lessee (the "Existing Aircraft Leases"), asserting that events of default had occurred and were continuing under the Existing Lease Agreements. At this time, the Lessor has (i) not accelerated or demanded any payment, (ii) not foreclosed on all or any part of any lien or security interest created by any of the Existing Aircraft Leases and (iii) not exercised any other rights or remedies that may be available to the Lessor with respect to the Existing Aircraft Leases. The Company disagrees with the assertion that an event of default has occurred and is continuing under any Existing Aircraft Lease. The Company is currently in discussions with AerCap with respect to the Existing Aircraft Leases. However, no assurance can be given that the parties will reach an amicable resolution on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all. If an amicable resolution is not reached promptly, the Company will take legal action to contest the alleged events of default and to enforce its rights under the Existing Aircraft Leases. *** Cautionary Note Regarding the Chapter 11 Cases The Company cautions that trading in the Company's common stock during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company's common stock may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company's common stock in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects that holders of the Company's common stock will not receive distributions in the Chapter 11 Cases, and that the equity will be canceled under the Plan.
