Proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) on Friday recommended Spirit Airlines Inc (NYSE: SAVE) shareholders to vote against the proposed deal with Frontier Group Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: ULCC).
Spirit on Wednesday delayed the shareholder vote on its merger with Frontier Group for the fourth time amid a struggle to gather enough support for a deal that could create the fifth-largest US airline.
