US takes a stake in Spirit Airlines by May 31?

Prediction market · Polymarket

Overview

This market will resolve to “Yes” if the U.S. federal government takes a stake in Spirit Airlines, or any of its parent or subsidiary companies, by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. 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.

President Trump signaled openness to federal aid earlier this week, boosting trader optimism. However, \"No\" leads at 57.5% as skin-in-the-game consensus weighs political resistance to taxpayer-funded bailouts, procedural hurdles in bankruptcy court, and absence of a finalized agreement by the May 31 deadline, despite recent leaks from Bloomberg and WSJ suggesting progress. Outcomes hinge on White House negotiations and creditor approvals in coming weeks.",
