Trump administration negotiations for a $500 million rescue package granting the U.S. government up to a 90% equity stake in Spirit Airlines have driven trader consensus to 59% for a deal by May 31, despite recent stalls reported on April 29 amid the carrier's Chapter 11 bankruptcy and days-long cash runway. Two of three major creditor groups endorsed the plan on April 28, signaling progress after President Trump's public support and exploration of the Defense Production Act to justify intervention amid surging jet fuel costs from the Iran conflict. Outstanding hurdles include the holdout creditor and bankruptcy court approval, but the urgency to avert liquidation of 7,500 jobs and flight disruptions sustains optimism in this closely contested market.

Takes a stake refers to the U.S. federal government acquiring direct equity ownership, voting shares, convertible rights treated as equity, or equivalent ownership interests in the listed company or of a legal vehicle that primarily owns the listed company. Stakes acquired through independent entities entirely controlled or owned by the U.S. federal government (e.g. a sovereign wealth fund, state-owned enterprise, etc.) will count. Non-equity financial instruments or stakes acquired by private persons or entities not owned or controlled by the US federal government will not count; acquisitions by states, pensions, index or mutual funds, or consortia will not qualify.
An official US federal government announcement of a completed qualifying acquisition, or of a binding agreement to complete a qualifying acquisition, within this market’s timeframe will be sufficient to resolve this market to “Yes”. Speculation, suggestions, plans, or other announcements which do not announce a completed acquisition or a binding acquisition agreement, however, will not count.
The resolution source for this market will be official information from the US federal government and a consensus of credible reporting.
