    JetBlue sweetened its offer to acquire Spirit Airlines and convince shareholders to walk away from the merger with Frontier Group. 

    JetBlue in a regulatory filing said it will offer to pay a breakup fee of $350 million in the event the airline fails to win antitrust regulatory approval. 

    The airline also proposed to pre-pay a portion of the fee as a cash dividend of $1.50 a share in advance of the completion of the deal, if shareholders agree to vote in favor of a merger with JetBlue. 

    With the new revised terms, the proposed merger offer will be $30 and $1.50 in dividend totaling $31.50 a share in cash.  

    Previously Spirit board had rejected the JetBlue offer on the grounds that the deal may face regulatory approval headwinds.
