Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. merger closes with trading suspension set for May 14, 2026
SNCY Price
Stored market dataWhy It Matters
Current SNCY holders are forcibly converted, lose SNCY liquidity, and will receive ALGT shares (and cash), which materially increases ALGT’s outstanding shares and changes ownership and liquidity profiles.
The merger closed May 13, 2026; SNCY ceased trading May 12 and will be suspended May 14. Each SNCY share converts into $4.10 cash plus 0.1557 of an ALGT share, removing SNCY tradability and replacing it with ALGT exposure and cash.
Score Rationale
neutralDelisting and forced conversion plus material ALGT share issuance significantly change tradability and dilution.
Bullish
- Shareholders receive immediate cash plus publicly traded ALGT stock.
- Transaction provides a definitive liquidity event and exit for SNCY holders.
- New ALGT holders gain exposure to a larger combined airline business.
Bearish
- SNCY stock is delisted and no longer tradable, removing direct liquidity.
- ALGT will issue a material number of shares, diluting existing ALGT holders.
- Fractional-share treatment or cash‑in‑lieu may reduce value for small holders.
