Sun Country Airlines has been acquired by Allegiant Travel Company, and on May 13, 2026 Sun Country became a wholly owned Allegiant subsidiary through a two‑step merger structure. Each Sun Country common share was converted into the right to receive $4.10 in cash plus 0.1557 Allegiant common shares.
The change of control triggered termination of Sun Country’s Tax Receivable Agreement, resulting in a payment of about $80.4 million to TRA holders. Sun Country’s Nasdaq listing was suspended on the closing date, with delisting and SEC deregistration to follow. The Sun Country board members resigned, and three of them, including CEO Jude Bricker, joined Allegiant’s board, while Bricker became Special Advisor to Allegiant’s CEO.
Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. stockholders approved its planned merger with Allegiant Travel Company. The Merger Agreement received 43,971,505 votes for, 32,926 against and 39,103 abstentions. A special meeting quorum was reached, with 44,043,534 shares represented, or about 81.27% of the 54,191,637 shares outstanding as of the record date.
Stockholders also approved the Compensation Proposal related to the merger and gave sufficient support for a potential Adjournment Proposal, though an adjournment was not needed once the merger was approved.
Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. reports that the U.S. Department of Transportation has granted the interim exemption requested by Allegiant and Sun Country, allowing both airlines to continue operating as separate carriers under common ownership after closing of Allegiant’s proposed acquisition of Sun Country.
This DOT exemption satisfies the last remaining regulatory approval-related condition to closing. The companies have scheduled special shareholder meetings for May 8, 2026, and, if shareholders approve and other customary conditions are met or waived, expect the transaction to close as early as May 13, 2026.
Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. reports that Allegiant’s proposed acquisition of Sun Country has reached a key regulatory milestone. The U.S. antitrust waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act has been terminated early, effectively providing antitrust clearance for the combination.
The airlines state that the deal is still subject to other customary closing conditions, including U.S. Department of Transportation approval of an interim exemption application and shareholder approvals at both companies. They now expect the transaction to close in the second or third quarter of 2026, aiming to create a larger leisure-focused airline with a broader network and more travel options.
Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. filed an 8-K to furnish a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal year and quarter ended December 31, 2025. The press release, dated February 5, 2026, is included as Exhibit 99.1 and is furnished under Item 2.02, not deemed filed for liability purposes.
Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. agreed to be acquired by Allegiant Travel Company through a two-step merger structure, after which Sun Country will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant. Each share of Sun Country common stock will be converted into the right to receive $4.10 in cash plus 0.1557 shares of Allegiant common stock.
Closing depends on approvals from Sun Country and Allegiant stockholders, multiple U.S. aviation and antitrust regulators, effectiveness of a registration statement, NASDAQ listing of new Allegiant shares, and the absence of specified adverse events. If the deal is completed, Sun Country’s stock will be delisted and deregistered, and three Sun Country‑designated directors, including CEO Jude Bricker, will join Allegiant’s board. The merger agreement includes no‑shop covenants, limited superior proposal flexibility, an outside date of January 11, 2027, and reciprocal termination and expense-reimbursement fee provisions.
