Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc. (FLYY) reports further developments in its Chapter 11 restructuring and stock listing status. The company and its subsidiaries filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions on August 29, 2025 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, where the cases are being jointly administered under case number 25-11897 (SHL).

On September 11, 2025, NYSE American filed a Form 25 to delist Spirit Aviation’s common stock; the delisting became effective ten days later, and deregistration under Section 12(b) will become effective 90 days after that filing unless the SEC sets a shorter period. The common stock began trading on the OTC Pink Limited Market on September 3, 2025 under the symbol FLYYQ.

On November 18, 2025, Spirit Aviation filed a monthly operating report for the months ended August 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 with the Bankruptcy Court, attached as Exhibit 99.1. The company notes that its proposed Chapter 11 plan contemplates that holders of its equity securities will receive no recovery of value from their investment.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Proposed plan contemplates zero recovery for existing equity, meaning current Spirit Aviation common shareholders are not expected to receive value in the Chapter 11 restructuring.
  • Common stock delisted from NYSE American and moved to OTC Pink, reflecting financial distress and reducing trading venue quality and visibility for the shares.

Insights

Spirit’s equity is expected to be wiped out under its proposed Chapter 11 plan.

Spirit Aviation Holdings is operating under Chapter 11 protection with jointly administered cases in the Southern District of New York. The company states that its proposed plan of reorganization contemplates that existing equity holders will receive no recovery of value, which effectively positions the common stock as out-of-the-money in the current capital structure.

The stock has already been delisted from NYSE American following a Form 25 filed on September 11, 2025, with trading moving to the OTC Pink Limited Market under the symbol FLYYQ. This shift typically reflects higher risk and lower disclosure standards compared with a national exchange, while the Chapter 11 process introduces additional uncertainty around timing and final outcomes for creditors.

The company has filed a monthly operating report for the months ended August 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 with the Bankruptcy Court, providing court-prescribed financial and operational data. Spirit emphasizes that this report was prepared solely to meet bankruptcy reporting requirements and cautions that the information may differ from Exchange Act reporting formats and should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

Monthly Operating Report

 

As previously disclosed, on August 29, 2025, Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc. (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, each a “Debtor,” collectively) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under case number 25-11897 (SHL).

 

On November 18, 2025, the Company filed its monthly operating report for the months ended August 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 (the “Monthly Operating Report”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. This current report (including the exhibits hereto or any information included therein) shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

 

Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, and copies of all documents publicly filed in the Chapter 11 Cases (including the Monthly Operating Report), can be accessed free of charge at https://dm.epiq11.com/SpiritAirlines.

 

The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities of that Section, unless the registrant specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Financial and Operating Data

 

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the Debtors’ securities. In particular, the Debtors’ proposed Plan contemplates that holders of the Company’s equity securities will receive no recovery of value from their investment. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the reporting requirements applicable in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws and regulations, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. Therefore, the Monthly Operating Report does not necessarily contain all information required in filings pursuant to the Exchange Act, or may present such information differently from such requirements. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Debtors’ securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
