Form Type: NT 10-Q

Filing Date: 2025-05-12

Corporate Action: Bankruptcy

Type: Update

Accession Number: 000095010325005891

Filing Summary: Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc. is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, by the due date without unreasonable effort or expense due to the complexities arising from its emergence from bankruptcy on March 12, 2025. The company must apply 'fresh start' accounting, which involves establishing a new reporting entity, separating the current reporting period into 'predecessor' and 'successor' periods, and determining new fair values for assets, liabilities, and equity. These requirements have delayed the financial statement preparations. The company is working to file the Form 10-Q by the end of May 2025. Additionally, the company has not filed all required periodic reports for the last 12 months, and the results of operations for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, will not be comparable to the prior year due to fresh start accounting.
