#### TRANSACTION PROPOSED-YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
Dear Stockholders of Allegiant and Sun Country:

On behalf of the boards of directors of Allegiant Travel Company (which we refer to as Allegiant) and Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. (which we refer to as Sun Country), we are pleased to enclose the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed acquisition of Sun Country by Allegiant. We are requesting that you take certain actions as a holder of Allegiant common stock or Sun Country common stock, as more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Each of the boards of directors of Allegiant and Sun Country has unanimously approved or adopted, as applicable, an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 11, 2026 (which agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, we refer to as the merger agreement), by and among Allegiant, Mirage Merger Sub, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant (which we refer to as Merger Sub 1), Sawdust Merger Sub, LLC, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant (which we refer to as Merger Sub 2) and Sun Country. Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, which are more fully described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus, Allegiant will acquire Sun Country through the merger of Merger Sub 1 with and into Sun Country (which transaction we refer to as the first merger). Sun Country will survive the first merger and become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant. In addition, as more fully described in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus, immediately following the completion of the first merger, Sun Country will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant (which transaction we refer to as the second merger and, together with the first merger, the mergers).

If the first merger is completed, Sun Country stockholders will be entitled to receive (i) 0.1557 (which we refer to as the exchange ratio) shares of Allegiant common stock (which we refer to as the per-share stock consideration) and (ii) $4.10 in cash, without interest (which we refer to as the per-share cash consideration) for each share of Sun Country common stock that they hold immediately prior to the completion of the first merger. We refer to the per-share stock consideration and the per-share cash consideration collectively as the merger consideration. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect stock price changes prior to the consummation of the first merger. Allegiant stockholders will continue to own their existing shares of common stock of Allegiant, the form of which will not be changed by the transaction.

Upon closing, former Sun Country equityholders will represent approximately 33% of Allegiant common stock on a fully diluted basis and Allegiant equityholders will represent approximately the remaining 67%, calculated on a fully diluted basis, based on the number of shares of common stock and stock-based awards of Allegiant and Sun Country outstanding as of March 26, 2026, the last practicable trading day before the date of the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The value of the merger consideration to be received in exchange for each share of Sun Country common stock will fluctuate with the market value of Allegiant common stock until the first merger is completed. Based on Allegiant's closing share price on January 9, 2026, the implied value of the merger consideration was $18.89, which represents a premium of approximately 19.8% over Sun Country's closing share price on January 9, 2026, and 18.8% over the 30-day volume-weighted average closing price. Based on Allegiant's closing share price on March 26, 2026, the last practicable trading day before the date of the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus, the implied value of the merger consideration was $17.17. The common stock of each of Allegiant and Sun Country is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "ALGT" and "SNCY," respectively. We urge you to obtain current market quotations for the shares of common stock of Allegiant and Sun Country.

Each of Allegiant and Sun Country will hold a special meeting of its stockholders in connection with the mergers, the issuance of Allegiant common stock in connection with the first merger, and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (which we refer to as the proposed transactions).

Allegiant's special meeting of stockholders will be held at Allegiant's headquarters at 1201 N. Town Center Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89144 on May 8, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time (unless it is adjourned or postponed to a later date). At the Allegiant special meeting, Allegiant stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following matters: (i) a proposal to approve the issuance of Allegiant common stock in connection with the first merger (which we refer to as the share issuance proposal) and (ii) a proposal to give the Allegiant board authority to adjourn the Allegiant special meeting from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Allegiant special meeting to approve the share issuance proposal (which we refer to as the Allegiant adjournment proposal). **The Allegiant board of directors has unanimously approved the merger agreement and the proposed transactions and unanimously recommends that Allegiant stockholders vote "FOR" the share issuance proposal and "FOR" the Allegiant adjournment proposal.**

Sun Country's special meeting of stockholders will be held virtually on May 8, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., Central Time (unless it is adjourned or postponed to a later date) via live audio webcast at *www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SNCY2026SM*. The Sun Country special meeting will be held exclusively online via live audio webcast. At the Sun Country special meeting, Sun Country stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following matters: (i) a proposal to adopt the merger agreement (which we refer to as the merger agreement proposal); (ii) a proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers of Sun Country in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (which we refer to as the merger-related compensation proposal); and (iii) a proposal to give the Sun Country board authority to adjourn the Sun Country special meeting from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Sun Country special meeting to approve the merger agreement proposal (which we refer to as the Sun Country adjournment proposal). **The Sun Country board of directors has unanimously approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the proposed transactions, has determined that it is fair to and in the best interests of Sun Country and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to consummate the proposed transactions and unanimously recommends that Sun Country stockholders vote "FOR" the merger agreement proposal, "FOR" the merger-related compensation proposal, and "FOR" the Sun Country adjournment proposal.**

The accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus contains detailed information about Allegiant, Sun Country, the merger agreement and the proposed transactions. In particular, see "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [50](#tRF). A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference herein. We encourage you to read the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes, including the merger agreement, carefully and in their entirety. You may also obtain information about Allegiant and Sun Country from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**Your vote is very important regardless of the number of shares of Allegiant common stock or Sun Country common stock that you own. The proposed transactions cannot be completed unless Allegiant stockholders approve the issuance of shares of Allegiant common stock pursuant to the merger agreement and Sun Country stockholders adopt the merger agreement.** 

**Whether or not you plan to attend your company's special meeting of stockholders, please submit your proxy as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at that meeting.**

#### QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND THE SPECIAL MEETINGS
The following questions and answers are intended to address briefly some commonly asked questions regarding the merger agreement and the proposed transactions. Allegiant and Sun Country urge you to read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and the other documents referred to or incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, because the information in this section does not provide all of the information that might be important to you.

#### About the Merger Agreement and the Proposed Transactions

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What is the merger agreement and what are the mergers?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| On January 11, 2026, Allegiant, Sun Country, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 entered into the merger agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the parties will consummate the mergers. In the first merger, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Sun Country, with Sun Country continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant. Immediately following the completion of the first merger, Sun Country will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 (renamed "Sun Country Airlines Holdings, LLC") surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What will Sun Country stockholders receive in the mergers?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Pursuant to the merger agreement, in the first merger, Sun Country stockholders will receive the per-share cash consideration (which is $4.10 in cash, without interest) and the per-share stock consideration (which is 0.1557 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Allegiant common stock) for each share of Sun Country common stock that they own.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What happens if the market price of Allegiant common stock or Sun Country common stock changes before the closing and what is the value of the merger consideration?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Changes in the market price of Allegiant common stock or the market price of Sun Country common stock at or prior to the closing will not change the number of shares of Allegiant common stock that Sun Country stockholders will receive because the per-share stock consideration is fixed. The value of the merger consideration to be received in exchange for each share of Sun Country common stock will fluctuate with the market value of Allegiant common stock until the closing.  |

---

Based on Allegiant's unaffected closing share price on January 9, 2026, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the merger agreement, the implied value of the merger consideration was $18.89 per share, representing a 19.8% premium over Sun Country's closing share price on January 9, 2026, and an 18.8% premium over Sun Country's 30-trading-day volume weighted average closing price per share.

Based on Allegiant's closing stock price on March 26, 2026, the last practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the implied value of the merger consideration was $17.17 per share.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Are there any conditions to the closing?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Yes. The closing is conditioned on Allegiant stockholders approving the share issuance proposal, Sun Country stockholders approving the merger agreement proposal, receipt of the required regulatory approvals, and a number of other conditions that must be satisfied or waived before the closing. For a description of all of the conditions to the closing, see "*The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Closing*" beginning on page [127](#tTM2).  |

| A:<br>| Nothing. You will continue to own the same shares of Allegiant common stock that you owned prior to the closing. As a result of the share issuance, however, the overall ownership percentage of the current Allegiant stockholders in the combined company will be diluted.  |

---

Immediately following the closing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continuing Allegiant equityholders will represent approximately 67% of Allegiant common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Allegiant and Sun Country outstanding as of March 26, 2026, the last practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• former Sun Country equityholders will represent approximately 33% of Allegiant common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Allegiant and Sun Country outstanding as of March 26, 2026, the last practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Do the Allegiant directors and executive officers have any interests in the proposed transactions?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Yes. In connection with the proposed transactions, Allegiant's directors and executive officers have interests in the proposed transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, those of the stockholders of Allegiant generally. The Allegiant board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other things, in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the proposed transactions. These interests are described in more detail in *"The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Allegiant Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions*."  |

| **Q:**<br>| **What constitutes a quorum at the Allegiant special meeting?**  |

| **Q:**<br>| **What vote is required for Allegiant stockholders to approve the share issuance proposal?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Assuming a quorum is present at the Allegiant special meeting, approval of the share issuance proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What vote is required for Allegiant stockholders to approve the Allegiant adjournment proposal?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Whether or not a quorum is present, approval of the Allegiant adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting. The vote on the Allegiant adjournment proposal is separate and apart from the vote to approve the share issuance proposal and is not a condition to the closing.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Is my vote at the Allegiant special meeting important and how are votes counted at the Allegiant special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Yes, your vote is very important. If you do not submit a proxy or vote in person at the meeting, it will be more difficult for us to obtain the necessary quorum to hold the Allegiant special meeting. For the share issuance proposal, you may vote "**FOR**" or "**AGAINST**" or you may "**ABSTAIN**." For purposes of the share issuance proposal, assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting, the failure of an Allegiant stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of an Allegiant stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the share issuance proposal because these failures to vote are not considered "votes cast."  |

---

For the Allegiant adjournment proposal, you may vote "**FOR**" or "**AGAINST**" or you may "**ABSTAIN**." For purposes of the Allegiant adjournment proposal, whether or not a quorum is present, abstention from voting, the failure of an Allegiant stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of an Allegiant stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the Allegiant adjournment proposal because these failures to vote are not considered "votes cast."

Properly executed proxy cards with no instructions indicated on the proxy card will be voted "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal and "**FOR**" the Allegiant adjournment proposal.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What happens if I sell my Allegiant common stock before the Allegiant special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The record date for the Allegiant special meeting is earlier than the date of the Allegiant special meeting. If you sell your shares of Allegiant common stock after Allegiant's record date but before the date of the Allegiant special meeting, you will retain any right to vote at the Allegiant special meeting.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **How do I submit a proxy or vote my shares at the Allegiant special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| You may submit your proxy by telephone, through the internet, or by mailing the enclosed proxy card. You can also vote in person at the meeting, and submitting your voting instructions by proxy card will not affect your right to attend and vote. If you hold your shares in more than one account, please be sure to submit a proxy for each proxy card you receive.  |

---

To submit your proxy by telephone, call 1-800-690-6903. In order to vote your shares by telephone, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your enclosed proxy card (which is unique to each Allegiant stockholder to ensure all voting instructions are genuine and to prevent duplicate voting).

To submit your proxy through the internet, you may vote your shares at *www.proxyvote.com*. In order to vote your shares through the internet, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your enclosed proxy card.

If you choose to submit your proxy through the internet or by telephone, your proxy must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on May 7, 2026 in order to be counted at the Allegiant special meeting.

We recommend you submit your vote by proxy prior to the date of the Allegiant special meeting even if you plan to attend the meeting.

If you hold your shares of Allegiant common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you may vote through the internet or by telephone only if internet or telephone voting is made available by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with these materials.

If you hold shares of Allegiant common stock directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may vote by mail by completing, signing, and dating your enclosed proxy card and returning it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope no later than the close of business on May 7, 2026 in order for your vote to be counted at the Allegiant special meeting.

If you hold your shares of Allegiant common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you may vote by mail by completing, signing, and dating the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder and returning it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope. Your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder must receive your voting instruction form in sufficient time to vote your shares at the Allegiant special meeting.

If you hold shares of Allegiant common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you will receive separate voting instructions from your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder for voting. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder in order to instruct your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder on how to vote your shares of Allegiant common stock.

| **Q:**<br>| **If my Allegiant shares are held in "street name" by my bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, will my bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder vote my shares for me at the Allegiant special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| If you hold your shares of Allegiant common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you must instruct your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder on how to vote your shares. Your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote by filling out the voting instruction form sent to you by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, or other record holders through which you may hold shares of Allegiant common stock in "street name" typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on "routine" proposals when they have not received instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. However, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, or other record holders typically are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion on matters that are "non-routine" without specific instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. The share issuance proposal and the Allegiant adjournment proposal are non-routine. Therefore, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, and other record holders do not have discretionary authority to vote on the share issuance proposal or the Allegiant adjournment proposal.  |

---

A broker non-vote with respect to Allegiant common stock occurs when (i) a share of Allegiant common stock held by a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder is present, in person or represented by proxy, at a meeting of Allegiant stockholders, (ii) the beneficial owner of that share has not instructed his, her, or its bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder on how to vote on a particular proposal and (iii) the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary voting power on such proposal. Banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, and other record holders do not have discretionary voting authority with respect to the share issuance proposal or the Allegiant adjournment proposal; therefore, if a beneficial owner of shares of Allegiant common stock held in "street name" does not give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, then those shares will not be present in person or represented by proxy at the Allegiant special meeting. As a result, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Allegiant special meeting.

Because the share issuance proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting, and because your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on the share issuance proposal, the failure to provide your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with voting instructions will have no effect on approval of the share issuance proposal, assuming a quorum is present.

Likewise, because the Allegiant adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant

special meeting, and because your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on the Allegiant adjournment proposal, the failure to provide your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with voting instructions will have no effect on approval of the Allegiant adjournment proposal, assuming a quorum is present.

|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **How can I revoke or change my vote at the Allegiant special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| You may revoke your vote at any time before voting takes place at the Allegiant special meeting by taking one of the following actions: (i) deliver to the Secretary of Allegiant a written notice, dated later than the proxy you want to revoke, stating that the proxy is revoked or (ii) submit new telephone or internet instructions or deliver a validly executed later-dated proxy. For this purpose, communications to the Corporate Secretary of Allegiant should be addressed to Allegiant Travel Company, Attention: Robert B. Goldberg, Secretary, 1201 N. Town Center Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89144 and must be received before the time that the proxy you wish to revoke is voted at the Allegiant special meeting. You may also revoke your proxy by attending and voting during the Allegiant special meeting before the polls are closed. Please note that if your shares are held in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder and you wish to revoke a previously granted proxy, you must contact that entity and submit new voting instructions to such bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder.  |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Will a proxy solicitor be used by Allegiant in connection with the Allegiant special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Yes. Allegiant has engaged Sodali & Co to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Allegiant special meeting, and Allegiant has agreed to pay them an estimated fee of $35,000 plus their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Will Allegiant be required to submit the share issuance proposal to Allegiant stockholders even if the Allegiant board has withdrawn, modified, or qualified its recommendation?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Yes. Unless the merger agreement is terminated prior to the Allegiant special meeting, Allegiant is required to submit the share issuance proposal to its stockholders even if the Allegiant board has withdrawn, modified, or qualified its recommendation in favor of the share issuance proposal.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Am I entitled to exercise appraisal rights in respect of my Allegiant shares?**  |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What else do I need to do now prior to the Allegiant special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| You are urged to read this joint proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety, including its annexes and the information incorporated by reference herein, and to consider how the proposed transactions may affect you. Even if you plan to attend the Allegiant special meeting, please vote promptly.  |

#### For Sun Country Stockholders

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **How will I receive the merger consideration in respect of my Sun Country shares if the mergers are completed?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| If you are a stockholder of record of Sun Country shares and hold your shares in certificated form, you will receive a letter of transmittal with detailed written instructions for exchanging shares for the merger consideration. If you are a holder of record of Sun Country book-entry shares, you will receive (i) a notice advising you of the effectiveness of the mergers, (ii) a statement reflecting the aggregate number of shares of Allegiant common stock (which will be in uncertificated book-entry form) that you have a right to receive pursuant to the merger agreement, and (iii) a check in the amount equal to the cash issuable to you as merger consideration.  |

---

If you are not a stockholder of record, but instead hold your shares of Sun Country common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you will receive instructions from your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder as to how to effect the surrender of your "street name" shares in exchange for the merger consideration.

|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Who is entitled to vote at the Sun Country special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The Sun Country record date is March 25, 2026. Only holders of Sun Country common stock as of the close of business on the Sun Country record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Sun Country special meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Sun Country special meeting. As of the Sun Country record date, there were 54,191,637 issued and outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock. Each Sun Country stockholder entitled to vote at the Sun Country special meeting is entitled to one vote per share at the Sun Country special meeting.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **How does the Sun Country Board recommend that I vote on the proposals?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| The Sun Country board unanimously (i) determined that it is fair to and in the best interests of Sun Country and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into the merger agreement and consummate the proposed transactions, (ii) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the proposed transactions, and (iii) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to the Sun Country stockholders for adoption at the Sun Country special meeting. The Sun Country board recommends that Sun Country stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal, "**FOR**" the merger-related compensation proposal, and "**FOR**" the Sun Country adjournment proposal. For a summary of the factors considered by the Sun Country board in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the consummation of the proposed transactions, see "The Proposed Transactions—Sun Country Board's Recommendations and Its Reasons for the Transaction" beginning on page [83](#tTP4).  |

| **Q:**<br>| **Why are Sun Country stockholders being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, by non-binding advisory vote, merger-related compensation arrangements for Sun Country's named executive officers (i.e., the merger-related compensation proposal)?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Under SEC rules, Sun Country is required to seek a non-binding advisory vote with respect to the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Sun Country's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the proposed transactions.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What happens if Sun Country stockholders do not approve the merger-related compensation proposal?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Because the vote on the merger-related compensation proposal is advisory in nature only, it will not be binding upon Sun Country or Allegiant. Accordingly, the merger-related compensation will be paid to Sun Country's named executive officers to the extent payable in accordance with the terms of their compensation agreements and other contractual arrangements even if Sun Country stockholders do not approve the merger-related compensation proposal. The vote on the merger-related compensation proposal is separate and apart from the votes to approve the other proposals being presented at the Sun Country special meeting and is not a condition to the closing.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Do the Sun Country directors and executive officers have any interests in the proposed transactions?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Yes. In connection with the proposed transactions, Sun Country's directors and executive officers may have interests in the proposed transactions that are different from, or in addition to, those of the stockholders of Sun Country generally. The Sun Country board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other things, in reaching its decision to adopt the merger agreement and approve the proposed transactions. These interests are described in more detail in "The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions."  |

| A:<br>| Yes, your vote is very important. If you do not submit a proxy or vote in person at the meeting, it will be more difficult for us to obtain the necessary quorum to hold the Sun Country special meeting. For the merger agreement proposal, you may vote "**FOR**," "**AGAINST**," or "**ABSTAIN**."

---

For the merger-related compensation proposal, you may vote "**FOR**," "**AGAINST**," or "**ABSTAIN**." For purposes of the merger-related compensation proposal, assuming a quorum is present, the failure of a Sun Country stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, will have no effect on the outcome of the merger-related compensation proposal because that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on the advisory merger-related compensation proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes cast "**AGAINST**" the Sun Country merger-related compensation proposal.

For the Sun Country adjournment proposal, you may vote "**FOR**" or "**AGAINST**" or you may "**ABSTAIN**." For purposes of the Sun Country adjournment proposal, whether or not a quorum is present, the failure of a Sun Country stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of a Sun Country stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the Sun Country adjournment proposal because that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on the adjournment proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes cast "**AGAINST**" the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

other record holders through which you may hold shares of Sun Country common stock in "street name" typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on "routine" proposals when they have not received instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. However, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, or other record holders typically are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion on matters that are "non-routine" without specific instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. The merger agreement proposal, the advisory merger-related compensation proposal, and the Sun-Country adjournment proposal are non-routine. Therefore, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, and other record holders do not have discretionary authority to vote on the merger agreement proposal, the advisory merger-related compensation proposal, or the Sun-Country adjournment proposal.

A broker non-vote with respect to Sun Country common stock occurs when (i) a share of Sun Country common stock held by a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder is present, in person or represented by proxy, at a meeting of Sun Country stockholders, (ii) the beneficial owner of that share has not instructed his, her, or its bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder on how to vote on a particular proposal and (iii) the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary voting power on such proposal. Banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, and other record holders do not have discretionary voting authority with respect to the merger agreement proposal, the advisory merger-related compensation proposal, or the Sun-Country adjournment proposal; therefore, if a beneficial owner of shares of Sun Country common stock held in "street name" does not give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, then those shares will not be present in person or represented by proxy at the Sun Country special meeting. As a result, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Sun Country special meeting.

Because the merger agreement proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to vote on the matter at the Sun Country special meeting, the failure to provide your bank, broker, nominee, or other record holder with voting instructions will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the merger agreement proposal.

Because the advisory merger-related compensation proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Sun Country special meeting and entitled to vote on the merger-related compensation proposal, and because your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on the advisory merger-related compensation proposal, the failure to provide your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with voting instructions will have no effect on approval of the advisory merger-related compensation proposal, assuming a quorum is present.

Likewise, because the approval of the Sun Country adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Sun Country special meeting and entitled to vote on the Sun Country adjournment proposal, and because your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on the Sun Country adjournment proposal, the failure to provide your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with voting instructions will have no effect on approval of the Sun Country adjournment proposal, whether or not a quorum is present.

| **Q:**<br>| **How can I revoke or change my vote at the Sun Country special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| You may revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the Sun Country special meeting by taking one of the following actions: (i) giving written notice of revocation to Sun Country's Corporate Secretary, which must be received before the time that the proxy you wish to revoke is voted at the Sun Country special meeting; (ii) submitting new voting instructions over the telephone or the internet prior to 11:59 p.m., Central Time, on May 7, 2026; (iii) delivering a new, validly completed, later-dated proxy card, which must be received no later than the close of business on May 7, 2026; or (iv) joining the Sun Country special meeting virtually and voting during the meeting. For this purpose, communications to the Corporate Secretary of Sun Country should be addressed to Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 2005 Cargo Road Minneapolis, Minnesota 55450. For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder giving you the right to vote your shares, by joining the Sun Country special meeting virtually via the internet and voting during the special meeting.  |

| **Q:**<br>| **Will a proxy solicitor be used by Sun Country in connection with the Sun Country special meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Yes. Sun Country has engaged Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Sun Country special meeting, and Sun Country has agreed to pay them an estimated fee of up to $30,000, plus their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Will Sun Country be required to submit the merger agreement proposal to Sun Country stockholders even if the Sun Country board has withdrawn, modified, or qualified its recommendation?**  |

---

A:<br> Yes. Unless the merger agreement is terminated prior to the Sun Country special meeting, Sun Country is required to submit the merger agreement proposal to its stockholders even if the Sun Country board has withdrawn, modified, or qualified its recommendation in favor of the proposal.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Am I entitled to exercise appraisal rights in respect of my Sun Country shares?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, holders of shares of Sun Country common stock who hold their shares through the first effective time and do not vote their shares in favor of adoption of the merger agreement and who comply fully with and properly demand appraisal for their shares under the applicable requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL and do not otherwise withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Delaware law, have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares of Sun Country common stock, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, if the merger is completed. The "fair value" of shares of Sun Country common stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery may be more than, less than, or equal to the value of the merger consideration that Sun Country stockholders would otherwise be entitled to receive under the terms of the merger agreement. Sun Country stockholders also should be aware that an investment banking opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration payable in a sale transaction, such as the merger, is not an opinion as to, and does not otherwise address, "fair value" under Section 262 of the DGCL. Holders of Sun Country common stock who wish to preserve any appraisal rights they may have, must so advise Sun Country by submitting a written demand for appraisal prior to the vote to adopt the merger agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, must not vote in favor of the merger agreement proposal and must otherwise follow fully the procedures prescribed by Section 262 of the DGCL. For further information, see "The Proposed Transactions—Appraisal Rights in the Merger" beginning on page [119](#tTP15).  |

#### For Both Allegiant Stockholders and Sun Country Stockholders

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **When are the mergers expected to be completed?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Allegiant and Sun Country expect to complete the mergers in the second or third quarter of 2026, although Allegiant and Sun Country cannot assure completion by any particular date, if at all. Because the closing is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of the required regulatory approvals and the approval of the merger agreement proposal by the Sun Country stockholders and the share issuance proposal by the Allegiant stockholders, the exact timing of the closing cannot be determined at this time and Allegiant and Sun Country cannot guarantee that the closing will occur at all. For a description of the conditions to the closing, see "*The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Closing*" beginning on page [127](#tTM2).  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Following the closing, what percentage of Allegiant common stock will the continuing Allegiant stockholders and former Sun Country stockholders own?**  |

---

A:<br> Immediately following the closing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continuing Allegiant equityholders will represent approximately 67% of Allegiant common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Allegiant and Sun Country outstanding as of March 26, 2026, the last practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus; and

14<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• former Sun Country equityholders will represent approximately 33% of Allegiant common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Allegiant and Sun Country outstanding as of March 26, 2026, the last practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What happens if the closing does not occur?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| If the share issuance proposal is not approved by Allegiant stockholders, if the merger agreement proposal is not approved by Sun Country stockholders, or if the closing does not occur for any other reason, Sun Country stockholders will not have their shares of Sun Country common stock converted into the right to receive the merger consideration. Instead, each of Allegiant and Sun Country would remain separate companies. Under certain circumstances, Allegiant may be required to pay Sun Country a termination fee or Sun Country may be required to pay Allegiant a termination fee, as described under "*The Merger Agreement—Termination; Termination Fees and Other Fees*."  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Are there any risks associated with the proposed transactions that I should consider in deciding how to vote?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Yes. A number of risks related to the proposed transactions are discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and described in "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [50](#tRF).  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the mergers to U.S. holders of Sun Country Common Stock?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A:<br>| Allegiant and Sun Country intend for the mergers, taken together, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Allegiant and Sun Country intend to report the mergers consistent with such qualification. Assuming the mergers so qualify, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Allegiant common stock, a U.S. holder (as defined in "*The Mergers—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences*") of Sun Country common stock that receives shares of Allegiant common stock and cash in exchange for shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the first merger generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Allegiant common stock received by such U.S. holder in the first merger exceeds such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such U.S. holder's Sun Country common stock exchanged therefor and (ii) the amount of cash received by such U.S. holder. However, it is not a condition to Allegiant's obligation or Sun Country's obligation to complete the transactions that the mergers, taken together, qualify as a "reorganization" or that Sun Country or Allegiant receive an opinion from counsel to that effect.  |

---

Allegiant and Sun Country have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regarding any matters relating to the transactions and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service would not assert that the mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization," or that a court would not sustain such a position.

If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a court were to determine that the mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder of Sun Country common stock that exchanges such shares of Sun Country common stock for Allegiant common stock and cash pursuant to the first merger generally would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Allegiant common stock received by such U.S. holder and (ii) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the Sun Country common stock exchanged therefor.

A holder of Sun Country common stock that acquired different blocks of Sun Country common stock at different times or at different prices will make the determinations above separately with respect to each block of shares of Sun Country common stock.

Holders of Sun Country common stock should consult with their tax advisors to determine the particular U.S. federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences of the mergers to them. For a more complete description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the mergers, see "*The Mergers—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences*" beginning on page [123](#tTP18).

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### The Allegiant Special Meeting (page 60)

#### Meeting
The Allegiant special meeting will be held at Allegiant's headquarters at 1201 N. Town Center Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89144 on May 8, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time (unless it is adjourned or postponed to a later date) for the following purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to consider and vote on the share issuance proposal; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to consider and vote on the Allegiant adjournment proposal.

#### Allegiant Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
The Allegiant record date is March 25, 2026. Only holders of Allegiant common stock as of the close of business on the Allegiant record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Allegiant special meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Allegiant special meeting. As of the Allegiant record date, there were 18,448,344 issued and outstanding shares of Allegiant common stock. Each Allegiant stockholder entitled to vote at the Allegiant special meeting is entitled to one vote per share at the Allegiant special meeting. As of the Allegiant record date, the issued and outstanding Allegiant common stock was held by 163 stockholders of record.

#### Quorum
The Allegiant bylaws require that there be a quorum at the Allegiant special meeting in order for Allegiant to hold a vote on the share issuance proposal. A quorum at the Allegiant special meeting is the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Allegiant common stock outstanding on the record date. Abstentions are included in the shares present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Shares of Allegiant common stock held in "street name" (through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder) with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, and shares of Allegiant common stock with respect to which the beneficial owner otherwise fails to vote, will not be deemed present at the Allegiant special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Failure of a quorum at the Allegiant special meeting may result in an adjournment of the Allegiant special meeting and may subject Allegiant to additional costs and expenses.

#### Required Vote
Assuming a quorum is present at the Allegiant special meeting, approval of the share issuance proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting. **Allegiant cannot complete the share issuance or the mergers unless the share issuance proposal is approved at the Allegiant special meeting (or at any adjournment or postponement thereof).** For purposes of the share issuance proposal, "votes cast" means votes "**FOR**" or "**AGAINST**." As a result, assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting on the share issuance proposal, the failure of an Allegiant stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of an Allegiant stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the share issuance proposal because these failures to vote are not considered "votes cast."

Whether or not a quorum is present, approval of the Allegiant adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting. As a result, abstention from voting on the adjournment proposal, the failure of an Allegiant stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of an Allegiant stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the Allegiant adjournment proposal because these failures to vote are not considered "votes cast."

#### Stock Ownership of and Voting by Allegiant Directors and Executive Officers
As of the Allegiant record date, Allegiant's directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned in the aggregate approximately 2.37 million shares of Allegiant common stock entitled to vote at the Allegiant special meeting, which represents approximately 12.9% of the shares of Allegiant common stock entitled to vote at the Allegiant special meeting.

18<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Each of Allegiant's directors and executive officers is expected, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to vote his, her, or its shares of Allegiant common stock "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal and "**FOR**" the Allegiant adjournment proposal, although none of Allegiant's directors and executive officers have entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to consider and vote on the merger agreement proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to consider and vote on the merger-related compensation proposal; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to consider and vote on the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

#### Sun Country Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
The Sun Country record date is March 25, 2026. Only holders of record of Sun Country common stock as of the close of business on the Sun Country record date are entitled to notice of, to attend and to vote at, the Sun Country special meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Sun Country special meeting. As of the Sun Country record date, there were 54,191,637 issued and outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock. Each Sun Country stockholder entitled to vote at the Sun Country special meeting is entitled to one vote per share at the Sun Country special meeting.

#### Quorum
The Sun Country bylaws require that there be a quorum at the Sun Country special meeting in order for Sun Country to hold a vote on the merger agreement proposal or the merger-related compensation proposal. A quorum at the Sun Country special meeting is the presence, in person, or represented by proxy, of a majority in voting power of the outstanding capital stock entitled vote at the Sun Country special meeting. Abstentions are included in the shares present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Shares of Sun Country common stock held in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, and shares of Sun Country common stock with respect to which the beneficial owner otherwise fails to vote, will not be deemed present at the Sun Country special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Failure of a quorum at the Sun Country special meeting may result in an adjournment of the Sun Country special meeting and may subject Sun Country to additional costs and expenses.

#### Required Vote
Assuming a quorum is present at the Sun Country special meeting, approval of the merger agreement proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to vote thereon at the Sun Country special meeting. Approval of the merger agreement proposal is required to complete the proposed transactions. Assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting on the merger agreement proposal, the failure of a Sun Country stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of a Sun Country stockholder to vote, will have the effect of a vote **"AGAINST"** the merger agreement proposal.

Assuming a quorum is present at the Sun Country special meeting, approval of the merger-related compensation proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Sun Country special meeting and entitled to vote on the merger-related compensation proposal. This vote will be on a non-binding, advisory basis. Assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting on the merger-related compensation proposal will have the effect of a vote **"AGAINST"** the merger agreement proposal. Assuming a quorum is present, the failure of a Sun Country stockholder

who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of a Sun Country stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the merger-related compensation proposal.

Whether or not a quorum is present, approval of the Sun Country adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Sun Country special meeting and entitled to vote on the Sun Country adjournment proposal. Abstention from voting on the Sun Country adjournment proposal will have the effect of a vote **"AGAINST"** the Sun Country adjournment proposal. The failure of a Sun Country stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of a Sun Country stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

#### Stock Ownership of and Voting by Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers
As of the Sun Country record date, Sun Country's directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned in the aggregate 1,715,345 shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to vote at the Sun Country special meeting, which represents approximately 3.2% of the shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to vote at the Sun Country special meeting.

Each of Sun Country's directors and executive officers is expected, as of the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, to vote his, her, or its shares of Sun Country common stock **"FOR"** the merger agreement proposal, **"FOR"** the merger-related compensation proposal and **"FOR"** the Sun Country adjournment proposal, although none of Sun Country's directors and executive officers have entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

For more information regarding the Sun Country special meeting, see "*The Sun Country Special Meeting*" beginning on page [64](#tTSC).

#### The Mergers; Merger Consideration; Treatment of Stock-Based Awards (page 128)

#### The Mergers
On January 11, 2026, Allegiant, Sun Country, Merger Sub 1, and Merger Sub 2 entered into the merger agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Sun Country, with Sun Country surviving the first merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant, and (ii) immediately thereafter, Sun Country will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 (renamed "Sun Country Airlines Holdings, LLC") surviving the second merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant.

#### Merger Consideration
At the first effective time, each share of Sun Country common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the first effective time (except for shares held in the treasury of Sun Country, all shares owned of record by Allegiant, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, and dissenting shares), will be converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such shares in the case of certificated shares or automatically in the case of book-entry shares formerly representing such shares, into the right to receive the merger consideration.

No fractional shares of Allegiant common stock will be issued in connection with the first merger, and Sun Country stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Allegiant common stock to which they otherwise would have been entitled. Allegiant stockholders will continue to own their existing shares of Allegiant common stock, the form of which will not be changed by the transaction.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Allegiant common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "ALGT," and Sun Country common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "SNCY." The following table shows certain closing share prices of Allegiant common stock and Sun Country common stock as reported on Nasdaq, and the implied value of the merger consideration to be issued in exchange for each share of Sun Country common stock, which was calculated by multiplying the closing price of Allegiant common stock on those dates by the exchange ratio and adding the per-share cash consideration, rounded to the nearest cent.

#### Treatment of Allegiant Equity Awards
The proposed transactions are not expected to affect Allegiant's stock options or other stock-based awards. It is expected that all such awards will remain outstanding subject to the same terms and conditions that are applicable to such stock options or other stock-based awards prior to the closing.

#### Treatment of Sun Country Equity Awards
*Sun Country Options* 

Effective as of immediately prior to the first effective time, each Sun Country option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the first effective time will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into an option to purchase from Allegiant a number of shares of Allegiant common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Sun Country common stock subject to such Sun Country option as of immediately prior to the first effective time by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the merger consideration closing value by the volume weighted average price per-share of Allegiant common stock for the three consecutive trading day period that ends on (and includes) the penultimate trading day immediately prior to the closing date (which we refer to as the measurement price), at an exercise price per-share of Allegiant common stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the exercise price per-share of Sun Country common stock subject to such Sun Country option as of immediately prior to the first effective time by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the measurement price by the value of the merger consideration at closing value, with the same terms and conditions, including "double trigger" vesting, that applied to the corresponding Sun Country option immediately prior to the first effective time.

*Sun Country RSUs* 

Effective as of immediately prior to the first effective time, each Sun Country RSU (other than Sun Country PRSUs) will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into an Allegiant restricted stock unit award representing the right to receive upon vesting a certain number of shares of Allegiant common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Sun Country common stock underlying the related Sun Country RSU as of immediately prior to the first effective time and (B) the merger consideration closing value, by (ii) the measurement price, with the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the corresponding Sun Country RSU immediately prior to the first effective time.

*Sun Country PRSUs* 

Effective as of immediately prior to the first effective time, each Sun Country PRSU will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into an Allegiant time-based restricted stock unit award representing the right to receive upon vesting a certain number of shares of Allegiant common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Sun Country common stock underlying the related Sun Country PRSU as of immediately prior to the first effective time (which will be deemed to be equal to 125% of the "target" number of Sun Country PRSUs awarded) and (B) the merger consideration closing value of the merger consideration at closing, by

21<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
(ii) the measurement price, with the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the corresponding Sun Country PRSU immediately prior to the first effective time, except that there will no longer be any performance-based vesting conditions, and the converted award will remain eligible to vest on the last day of the performance period applicable to the corresponding Sun Country PRSU (as set forth in the applicable award agreement).

*Equity Awards Held by Non-employees* 

At the first effective time, each Sun Country equity award held by a holder who, as of immediately prior to the first effective time, is not an employee of Sun Country or any of its subsidiaries will not be assumed by Allegiant and will instead become fully vested (to the extent not yet vested) and cancelled as of the first effective time and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each Sun Country option held by such non-employee holder will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration otherwise payable (in the same form as the merger consideration payable to holders of Sun Country common stock) in respect of the in-the-money value of such Sun Country option based on the merger consideration closing value (and, if such Sun Country option is not in-the-money, no merger consideration will be payable in respect of such option); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each Sun Country RSU or Sun Country PRSU held by such non-employee holder will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration payable (in the same form as the merger consideration payable to holders of Sun Country common stock) in respect of the number of shares of Sun Country common stock underlying such Sun Country RSU or Sun Country PRSU (determined as of immediately prior to the first effective time).

*Sun Country Warrant* 

The Warrant to Purchase Shares, dated as of December 13, 2019, by and between Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC and SCA Acquisition Holdings, LLC, as may be amended from time to time, will be treated in accordance with the terms thereof in connection with the closing.

For a description of the treatment of Sun Country equity awards in connection with the proposed transactions, see "*The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Sun Country Equity Awards*" beginning on page [128](#tTM5).

**Barclays' opinion was addressed to the Allegiant board (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the proposed transactions, and was limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration to be paid by Allegiant in the first merger and did not address any other aspect of the proposed transactions. Barclays expressed no opinion about Allegiant's underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the proposed transactions or the likelihood of consummation of the proposed transactions. In addition, Barclays expressed no opinion on, and its opinion did not in any manner address, the fairness of the amount or the nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the proposed transactions, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration paid in the proposed transactions or otherwise.

#### Opinion of Sun Country's Financial Advisor (page 101)
Goldman Sachs delivered its opinion to the Sun Country board that, as of January 11, 2026 and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the merger consideration to be paid to the holders (other than Allegiant and its affiliates) of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such holders. **The full text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs, dated January 11, 2026, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Immediately following the second effective time, the Allegiant board will take all actions necessary (i) to increase the size of the Allegiant board, as of immediately after the second effective time, by three members (including by amending the Allegiant bylaws to permit such increase) and (ii) to cause three individuals selected by Sun Country in writing no less than 15 business days prior to the closing, one of which will be Jude Bricker and the other two of which will be directors serving on the Sun Country board immediately prior to the first effective time, to be appointed as members of the Allegiant board. The Sun Country director nominees (other than Jude Bricker) must, among other things, be independent of the combined company under the applicable rules of Nasdaq, as determined by the Allegiant board and its nominating and governance committee, acting reasonably and in good faith, and reasonably acceptable to the nominating and governance committee of the Allegiant board.

#### Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions (page 108)

#### Interests of Allegiant Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions
Allegiant stockholders should be aware that Allegiant's directors and executive officers have interests in the proposed transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Allegiant stockholders generally, including that all current members of the Allegiant board will remain on the Allegiant board, Maurice J. Gallagher, the Chairman of the Allegiant board, will remain as Chairman of the Allegiant board and the executive officers of Allegiant will remain the executive officers of the combined company. The Allegiant board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and in reaching its decision to (i) determine that the merger agreement and the consummation of the proposed transactions were advisable and in the best interests of Allegiant and (ii) direct that the share issuance proposal and the Allegiant adjournment proposal be submitted to the Allegiant stockholders for approval at the Allegiant special meeting.

These interests are discussed in more detail in "The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Allegiant Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions."

#### Interests of Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions
In considering the recommendation of the Sun Country board to approve the merger agreement and the proposed transactions, Sun Country stockholders should be aware that Sun Country's directors and executive officers have interests in the proposed transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Sun Country stockholders generally, including the assumption and accelerated vesting of certain outstanding Sun Country equity awards in connection with the proposed transactions, potential severance benefits, payment of pro-rated annual bonuses, rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage and potential payments under the tax receivable agreement. The Sun Country board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and in reaching its decision to (i) determine that it is fair to and in the best interests of Sun Country and its stockholders, and declare it advisable, to enter into the merger agreement and consummate the proposed transactions, (ii) approve and declare advisable the merger agreement and the proposed transactions,(iii) direct that the merger agreement be submitted to the stockholders of Sun Country for adoption and (iv) recommend that the stockholders of Sun Country vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement.

These interests are discussed in more detail in "The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions."

#### Accounting Treatment of the Mergers (page 117)
The mergers, if they occur, will be accounted for as a purchase of Sun Country by Allegiant under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

For more information regarding the accounting treatment, see "The Proposed Transactions—Accounting Treatment of the Mergers" beginning on page [117](#tTP10).

#### Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings (page 142)
Each of Allegiant and Sun Country agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law to cause the conditions described under "—*Conditions to Completion of the Merger*" beginning on page [144](#tTM18) to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable (and prior to the outside date), including to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents from, any governmental entities that are required to consummate the mergers (including those in connection with the HSR Act, and any consents required to be obtained from the FAA, DOT, FCC and DHS (including the TSA)).

#### Tax Receivable Agreement (page 118)
In connection with Sun Country's IPO in 2021, Sun Country entered into the tax receivable agreement with the TRA holders, including Mr. Bricker and Kerry Philipovitch, a member of the Sun Country board. The tax receivable agreement generally provides for the payment by Sun Country to the TRA holders of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax that Sun Country and its subsidiaries actually realize (or are

24<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
deemed to have realized in certain circumstances) for periods starting at least 12 months after the closing date of Sun Country's IPO as a result of the utilization of tax attributes existing at the time of Sun Country's IPO. Sun Country will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. Under the terms of the tax receivable agreement, however, a change of control (as defined under the tax receivable agreement, which includes certain mergers and business transactions, including the first merger) will result in a payment by Sun Country equal to the present value of future payments under the tax receivable agreement, which payment will be calculated based on certain assumptions, including those relating to Sun Country's and its subsidiaries' future taxable income. It is currently estimated, based on an analysis conducted by Sun Country's third-party tax advisors consistent with the terms of the tax receivable agreement, that TRA payments made to Mr. Bricker and his respective affiliates will be approximately $2.1 million, and TRA payments made to Ms. Philipovitch and her affiliates will be approximately $5,000.

#### Treatment of Sun Country's Existing Debt; Financing (page 119)
There is no financing condition to the closing.

In connection with the closing, the parties intend to repay in full and terminate Sun Country's existing revolving credit facility.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the merger agreement, Sun Country has agreed to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide customary cooperation in connection with the arrangement and consummation by Allegiant of any debt financing or refinancing transaction to be entered into (i) in connection with the proposed transactions or (ii) otherwise to the extent information related to Sun Country and its subsidiaries is reasonably required by a financing source in connection therewith.

For further information regarding the financing of the transactions, see "The Proposed Transactions—Treatment of Sun Country's Existing Debt; Financing" and "The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements—Financing" beginning on page [119](#tTP14).

#### Appraisal Rights or Dissenters' Rights (page 119)
Under Nevada law, Allegiant stockholders will not be entitled to any appraisal rights in connection with the first merger, the second merger, or any other proposed transaction.

Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, holders of shares of Sun Country common stock who hold their shares through the first effective time and do not vote their shares in favor of adoption of the merger agreement and who comply fully with and properly demand appraisal for their shares under the applicable requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL and do not otherwise withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Delaware law, have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares of Sun Country common stock, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, if the merger is completed. The "fair value" of shares of Sun Country common stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery may be more than, less than, or equal to the value of the merger consideration that Sun Country stockholders would otherwise be entitled to receive under the terms of the merger agreement. Sun Country stockholders also should be aware that an investment banking opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration payable in a sale transaction, such as the merger, is not an opinion as to, and does not otherwise address, "fair value" under Section 262 of the DGCL. Holders of Sun Country common stock who wish to preserve any appraisal rights they may have, must so advise Sun Country by submitting a written demand for appraisal prior to the vote to adopt the merger agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, and must not vote in favor of the merger agreement proposal and otherwise follow fully the procedures prescribed by Section 262 of the DGCL. For further information, see "The Proposed Transactions—Appraisal Rights or Dissenters' Rights" beginning on page [119](#tTP15).

#### Nasdaq Listing of Allegiant Common Stock; Delisting and Deregistration of Sun Country Common Stock (page 123)
It is a condition to the closing that the shares of Allegiant common stock to be issued to Sun Country stockholders in the first merger be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance. If the first merger is completed, Sun Country common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

#### Expected Timing of the Closing (page 123)
Allegiant and Sun Country currently expect the closing to occur in the second or third quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including (i) the approval of the merger agreement proposal by Sun Country stockholders, (ii) the approval of the share issuance proposal by Allegiant stockholders, (iii) the receipt of

25<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
the required regulatory approvals, which include the antitrust related filings and clearance and the other regulatory approvals discussed in "The Proposed Transactions—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Closing" beginning on page [117](#tTP11), and (iv) the absence of any law, whether preliminary, temporary or permanent, which makes illegal, prohibits or otherwise prevents the completion of the proposed transactions.

However, Allegiant and Sun Country cannot predict the actual date on which the closing will occur because completion is subject to conditions beyond their control and it is possible that such conditions could result in the closing occurring earlier or later or not at all. See "The Proposed Transactions—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Closing" and "The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Closing" beginning on page [117](#tTP11).

#### Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers (page 123)
Allegiant and Sun Country intend for the mergers, taken together, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Allegiant and Sun Country intend to report the mergers consistent with such qualification. Assuming the mergers so qualify, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Allegiant common stock, a U.S. holder (as defined in "*The Mergers—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences*") of Sun Country common stock that receives shares of Allegiant common stock and cash in exchange for shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the first merger generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Allegiant common stock received by such U.S. holder in the first merger exceeds such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such U.S. holder's Sun Country common stock exchanged therefor and (ii) the amount of cash received by such U.S. holder. However, it is not a condition to Allegiant's obligation or Sun Country's obligation to complete the transactions that the mergers, taken together, qualify as a "reorganization" or that Sun Country or Allegiant receive an opinion from counsel to that effect.

Allegiant and Sun Country have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regarding any matters relating to the transactions and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service would not assert that the mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization," or that a court would not sustain such a position.

If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a court were to determine that the mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder of Sun Country common stock that exchanges such shares of Sun Country common stock for Allegiant common stock and cash pursuant to the first merger generally would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Allegiant common stock received by such U.S. holder and (ii) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the Sun Country common stock exchanged therefor.

A holder of Sun Country common stock that acquired different blocks of Sun Country common stock at different times or at different prices will make the determinations above separately with respect to each block of shares of Sun Country common stock.

Holders of Sun Country common stock should consult with their tax advisors to determine the particular U.S. federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences of the mergers to them.

For a more complete description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the mergers, see "The Mergers—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" beginning on page [123](#tTP18).

#### Litigation Related to the Proposed Transactions (page 126)
Stockholders may file lawsuits challenging the proposed transactions, which may name Allegiant, Sun Country, members of the Allegiant board, members of the Sun Country board, or others as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits, including the amount of costs associated with defending claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of any claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from closing on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the closing or may prevent the closing from being completed altogether.

#### The Merger Agreement (page 127)

#### No Solicitation (page 136)
As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the merger agreement, each of Allegiant and Sun Country will not, and will not permit any of its controlled affiliates and its directors, officers and employees to, and will instruct its other affiliates and representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any acquisition proposal or any inquiry that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• engage in, continue, participate in, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any discussions or negotiations with any person relating to any such acquisition proposal or inquiry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• furnish to any person any non-public information, or afford access to the books or records, officers or employees of each restricted party or its affiliates to, any person relating to any such acquisition proposal or inquiry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into any contract or nonbinding letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other agreement relating to any such acquisition proposal or inquiry (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement) (any such contract or agreement, we refer to as an "alternative acquisition agreement") or any contract requiring Allegiant or Sun Country to abandon or terminate the merger agreement or fail to consummate the first merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• release or permit the release of any person from, waive or permit the waiver of any right under, fail to enforce any provision of, or grant any consent or make any election under, any confidentiality, "standstill" or similar contract to which Allegiant or Sun Country or any of its subsidiaries is a party, subject to certain exceptions.

Prior to obtaining stockholder approval of the share issuance proposal, in the case of Allegiant, or prior to obtaining stockholder approval of the merger agreement proposal, in the case of Sun Country, if Allegiant or Sun Country receives a bona fide written acquisition proposal that did not result from a breach and such party's board of directors determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such acquisition proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a superior proposal, the applicable party may take the following actions: (i) enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with the person making such acquisition proposal and furnish to such person non-public information with respect to the restricted party pursuant to such acceptable confidentiality agreement; and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such acquisition proposal regarding such acquisition proposal. In such case, the applicable party must provide written notice to the other party of such determination promptly (and in any event within 36 hours) and any information concerning such party or its affiliates provided to such other person which was not previously provided to the other party or its affiliates or representatives, in each case, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such person.

For a more complete description of the no solicitation provisions of the merger agreement, see "*The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements—No Solicitation*" beginning on page [136](#tTM9).

#### Termination, Change of Recommendation, and Match Rights (page 137)
As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the merger agreement, subject to the following paragraph, the Allegiant board may not change its recommendation that Allegiant stockholders vote "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal, and the Sun Country board may not change its recommendation that the Sun Country stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal. Under the merger agreement, a change of recommendation will occur if the Allegiant board or the Sun Country board, including any committee thereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes, withholds, withdraws, qualifies, amends or modifies the applicable recommendation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fails to include the applicable recommendation in this joint proxy statement/prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adopts, approves, recommends, or declares advisable any alternative acquisition proposal;

27<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• takes any formal action or makes any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender or exchange offer (other than a recommendation against such tender or exchange offer or a "stop, look and listen" communication that reaffirms the applicable recommendation by the applicable board of directors or committee to its stockholders or any substantially similar communication), or fails to recommend against any tender or exchange offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if an acquisition proposal is publicly announced or disclosed (other than by the commencement of a tender or exchange offer), fails to recommend against such acquisition proposal or fails to reaffirm in a written public communication the applicable board's recommendation within the earlier of (i) 10 business days following the other party's written request to do so (which request may only be made once with respect to any particular acquisition proposal) and (ii) three business days prior to the Sun Country special meeting or the Allegiant special meeting, as applicable; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• submits any acquisition proposal or any matter relating thereto to a stockholder vote.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, at any time prior to obtaining the approval of the share issuance proposal, the Allegiant board may, or at any time prior to obtaining approval of the merger agreement proposal, the Sun Country board may, effect a change of recommendation or authorize Allegiant or Sun Country, respectively, to terminate the merger agreement if (i) Allegiant or Sun Country has received a bona fide written acquisition proposal that did not result from a breach that is reflected in a written definitive agreement that the person making such acquisition proposal has irrevocably committed to execute concurrently with the termination of the merger agreement or (ii) the Allegiant board or Sun Country board, as applicable, determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such acquisition proposal constitutes a superior proposal and that a failure to make a change of recommendation in response to such superior proposal or authorize Allegiant or Sun Country, respectively, to terminate the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement for a superior proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Promptly following any such determination and, at least three business days prior to making any such change of recommendation or such authorization, the applicable party must notify the other party in writing of such determination, which notice will specify the material terms and conditions of such superior proposal, together with a copy of such written definitive agreement, the identity of the person making such acquisition proposal and explain in reasonable detail the reasons why the applicable board of directors has made such determination. If requested by the other party, during the three business day period following the delivery of such notice, the applicable party and its representatives must negotiate with the other party in good faith to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. In the event of any material revision to such acquisition proposal, the applicable party will be required to deliver a new written notice to the other party and to comply with the requirements of the merger agreement with respect to such new written notice prior to making any change of recommendation or authorizing termination of the merger agreement, as applicable, except that the prior notice period for any such subsequent written notice will be shortened from three business days to two business days. At the end of such three business day period (or such two business day period, as applicable) and taking into account any changes to the terms hereof proposed by the other party in writing, the applicable board of directors may effect a change of recommendation or authorization if it determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such acquisition proposal continues to constitute a superior proposal and that a failure of make a change of recommendation or authorize termination of the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement for a superior proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

In addition, at any time prior to obtaining the approval of the share issuance proposal, the Allegiant board may, or at any time prior to obtaining approval of the merger agreement proposal, the Sun Country board may, also effect a change of recommendation if the applicable board of directors determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that an intervening event with respect to such party has occurred and that the failure to make a change of recommendation in response to such intervening event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. Promptly following such determination and, at least three business days prior to making any such change of recommendation, the applicable party must notify the other party in writing of such determination, which notice will describe such intervening event in reasonable detail and explain in reasonable detail the reasons why the Allegiant board or Sun Country board, as applicable, has made such determination. If requested by Allegiant or Sun Country, as applicable, during the three business day period following the delivery of such notice, the applicable party and its representatives must negotiate with the other party in good faith to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. At the end of such three business day period and taking into account any changes to the terms

28<br>

------

of the merger agreement proposed by the other party in writing, the applicable board of directors may effect such change of recommendation if it determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that the failure to make a change of recommendation in response to such intervening event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

For a more complete description of the change of recommendation provisions of the merger agreement, see "*The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements—Change of Recommendation and Match Rights*" beginning on page [137](#tTM10).

#### Conditions to Completion of the Merger (page 144)

#### Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of Allegiant and Sun Country (page 158)
Upon completion of the first merger, Sun Country stockholders receiving shares of Allegiant common stock will become stockholders of Allegiant, and their rights will be governed by Nevada law and the organizational documents of Allegiant in effect at the first effective time. Therefore, Sun Country stockholders will have different rights once they become stockholders of Allegiant due to differences between Nevada law and Delaware law and differences between the organizational documents of Allegiant and the organizational documents of Sun Country, as described in more detail in "*Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of Allegiant and Sun Country*."

#### UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
***The Proposed Transactions. On January 11, 2026, Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. ("Sun Country"), Allegiant Travel Company ("Allegiant"), and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Allegiant, Mirage Merger Sub, Inc. and Sawdust Merger Sub, LLC, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the acquisition of Sun Country by Allegiant through two mergers: (i) first, Mirage Merger Sub, Inc. will merge with and into Sun Country, with Sun Country surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant (the "First Merger"); and (ii) second, immediately after the first merger, Sun Country will merge with and into Sawdust Merger Sub, LLC, with Sawdust Merger Sub, LLC surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers").***

The Allegiant board has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the proposed transactions and unanimously recommends that Allegiant stockholders vote "FOR" the share issuance proposal and "FOR" the Allegiant adjournment proposal.

The Sun Country board of directors has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the proposed transactions, has determined that the proposed transactions, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, are fair to and in the best interests of Sun Country and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that Sun Country stockholders vote "FOR" the Merger Agreement proposal, "FOR" the mergerrelated compensation proposal, and "FOR" the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

***Merger Consideration. For a description of the Merger Consideration, as defined below, in connection with the proposed transactions, see Note 1 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.***

***Treatment of Sun Country Equity Awards. For a description of the treatment of Sun Country equity awards in connection with the proposed transactions, see Note 1 to the pro forma financial statements.***

***Pro forma financial statements. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (loss) (referred to as the pro forma income statement) for the year ended December 31, 2025, combines the historical consolidated statements of income (loss) of Allegiant and Sun Country, after giving effect to the proposed transactions and other adjustments (as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information) as if they occurred on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position (referred to as the pro forma balance sheet) as of December 31, 2025, combines the historical condensed consolidated statements of financial position of Allegiant and Sun Country, after giving effect to the proposed transactions and other adjustments as if they had occurred on December 31, 2025. The pro forma income statement and pro forma balance sheet are collectively referred to as the pro forma financial information.***

The pro forma financial information was prepared for illustrative and informational purposes only, in accordance with Regulation SX Article 11, to demonstrate the estimated effects of the proposed transactions and adjustments (which we refer to as transaction accounting adjustments), such as (i) the alignment of Sun Country's statement of operations and financial position amounts to Allegiant's presentation, (ii) adjustments based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed, (iii) transaction and financing costs expected to be incurred by Allegiant, and (iv) the associated income tax impacts of recognizing these adjustments. The pro forma financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with the expectation that Allegiant will be identified as the accounting acquirer. The transaction accounting adjustments were prepared on the basis that such preliminary estimated adjustments will be incurred to achieve the proposed transactions, are pending finalization of various estimates, inputs, and analyses, and do not include adjustments to reflect any potential costs that may be incurred or benefits realized in connection with the Mergers, such as synergies, cost savings, innovation, and operational efficiencies; as well as potential postmerger costs, such as restructuring and integration charges.

The pro forma financial information is based on various adjustments and assumptions and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined statements of income or financial position would have actually been had the transaction accounting adjustments been completed as of the dates indicated. Further, the pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of the combined company after the proposed transactions, which may differ materially and adversely from the pro forma financial statements.The pro forma financial information reflects transaction accounting adjustments that Allegiant believes are necessary to present fairly the pro forma income statements and pro forma balance sheet following the completion of the proposed transactions as of and for the periods indicated. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions that Allegiant believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time,

33<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
reasonable, directly attributable to the proposed transactions, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report the combined financial condition and results of operations as if Allegiant completed the proposed transactions. The final acquisition accounting will be based upon the actual consideration and the fair value of the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed of the party that is determined to be the acquiree under GAAP as of the date of the completion of the proposed transactions. In addition, subsequent to the closing date, there will be further refinements of the acquisition accounting as additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting may differ materially from the preliminary acquisition accounting information reflected in this filing.

The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. In addition, the pro forma financial information was based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the following historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The audited consolidated financial statements of Allegiant as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes, as included in Allegiant's [Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001362468/000136246826000008/algt-20251231.htm) ; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The audited consolidated financial statements of Sun Country as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes, as included in Sun Country's [Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001743907/000174390726000032/sncy-20251231.htm) .

#### ALLEGIANT TRAVEL COMPANYNOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION<br>

#### (in thousands, except per share amounts)

#### Note 1 – Description of the Mergers
On January 11, 2026, Allegiant entered into the Merger Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Sun Country through the Mergers. The Merger Agreement, among other things, provides for the combination of Allegiant and Sun Country in a stock-and-cash transaction. As part of the First Merger, Mirage Merger Sub, Inc. I will merge with and into Sun Country, with Sun Country surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant. Immediately after the First Merger, Sun Country will merge with and into Sawdust Merger Sub, LLC as part of the Second Merger, with Merger Sub II surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant.

Upon the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of Sun Country common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Sun Country Common Stock"), will be converted into the right to receive $4.10 in cash, without interest (the "Cash Consideration") and 0.1557 (the "Merger Exchange Ratio") shares of Allegiant common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Allegiant Common Stock") (the "Stock Consideration" and, together with the Cash Consideration, the "Merger Consideration"). Cash payments for fractional shares are not material for the purposes of the pro forma financial information.

#### Treatment of Sun Country Equity Awards
The Merger Agreement also provides that, effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the First Merger (the "First Effective Time"), by virtue of the Mergers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All outstanding stock options to purchase a share of Sun Country Common Stock granted pursuant to any equity award plans of Sun Country ("Sun Country Equity Award Plans") (each a "Sun Country Stock Option"), regardless of exercise price, will automatically convert into stock options for Allegiant (each an "Allegiant Stock Option") immediately before the closing, with no action required by the holder (the "Converted Options" and each a "Converted Option"). Each Converted Option will cover a proportionately adjusted number of shares of Allegiant Common Stock based on the Merger Exchange Ratio (as adjusted and as determined under the Merger Agreement) and will have a proportionately adjusted exercise price and will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each outstanding award of restricted stock units denominated in Sun Country Common Stock subject to time-based vesting restrictions (each a "Sun Country RSU Award") granted pursuant to the Sun Country Equity Award Plans will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into an Allegiant restricted stock unit award (each an "Allegiant RSU Award") denominated in Allegiant Common Stock, based on the Merger Exchange Ratio (as adjusted and as determined under the Merger Agreement). The Allegiant RSU Awards will continue to have the same terms and conditions as the Sun Country RSU Awards, including any double trigger vesting protections;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each outstanding restricted stock unit award denominated in Sun Country Common Stock subject to performance-based vesting restrictions (each a "Sun Country PRSU Award") granted pursuant to the Sun Country Equity Award Plans will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into an Allegiant time-based restricted stock unit award (each an "Allegiant PRSU Award") denominated in Allegiant Common Stock, based on the Merger Exchange Ratio (as adjusted and as determined under the Merger Agreement) and converted based on an average performance factor of 125%. The Allegiant PRSU Awards will continue to have the same terms and conditions as the Sun Country PRSU Awards, including any double trigger vesting protections, provided that there will no longer be any performance-based vesting conditions, and the Allegiant PRSU Award will be a time-vesting award eligible to vest on the last day of the performance period applicable to the Sun Country PRSU Award; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• With respect to non-employee Sun Country board members and former employees/service providers to Sun Country, each Sun Country Equity Award held by such individuals (each a "Non-Employee Sun Country Equity Award") will become fully vested (to the extent not yet vested), cancelled and converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration.

#### Treatment of Sun Country Warrant
Pursuant to the Warrant to Purchase Shares, dated as of December 13, 2019, as amended, by and between Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC ("Amazon Holder") and Sun Country (the "Sun Country Warrant"), Sun Country issued warrants to Amazon Holder to purchase an aggregate of up to 9,482,606 shares of Sun Country Common Stock at an exercise price of approximately $15.17 per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sun Country Warrant, any unvested warrant shares of the Sun Country Warrant will become fully vested and immediately exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers. The Sun Country Warrant will then be exercised as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers on a net issuance exercise basis, and Amazon Holder will receive Merger Consideration for the Sun Country Common Stock issued as a result of the exercise of the Sun Country Warrant.

Accordingly, the stock issuance in respect of the Sun Country Warrant is included in the preliminary consideration transferred. The expected gain on the settlement of the Sun Country Warrant is immaterial and is not reflected in the pro forma financial information.

#### Change-in-Control Payments
In conjunction with the Mergers, Allegiant will make certain change-in-control, retention and termination payments to employees of Sun Country ("Change-in-Control Payments"). Included in the Change-in-Control Payments are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Retention bonuses of $9.7 million, of which $5.7 million has vested and will be paid out on the closing date of the Mergers, and an additional $4.0 million will be accrued as a liability to be paid 90 days after the closing date of the Mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pro-rated annual incentive bonuses of $0.3 million to be paid within 30 days after the closing date of the Mergers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dispatcher bonuses of $2.2 million to eligible employees, and subject to the achievement of certain milestones, are estimated to be paid two years after the closing of the Mergers.

As these payments were all negotiated in conjunction with the Mergers, they will be treated as post-combination salaries and benefits expense of Allegiant.

#### Severance payable to Sun Country Chief Executive Officer
It is expected that the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of Sun Country, Jude Bricker's, employment will terminate as a result of the Mergers. In accordance with the preexisting terms outlined in his employment agreement, Mr. Bricker will receive a cash severance payment of $2.2 million, which will be paid by Allegiant at the closing of the Mergers. As the severance payment is not triggered by a change-in-control provision, it will be included in the preliminary consideration transferred, as further discussed in Note 4.

#### Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
The pro forma financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The historical consolidated financial statements of Allegiant and the historical consolidated financial statements of Sun Country were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, gives effect to the Mergers as if they had been completed on December 31, 2025, and combines the consolidated balance sheet of Allegiant as of December 31, 2025 with the consolidated balance sheet of Sun Country as of December 31, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 gives effect to the Mergers as if they had been completed on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 combines the consolidated statement of income (loss) of Allegiant for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the consolidated statement of operations of Sun Country for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Additionally, as discussed in Note 3, certain reclassifications were made to conform the historical presentation of Sun Country consolidated financial statements to that of Allegiant's financial statement presentation. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma financial information are those set out in Allegiant's audited financial

38<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management conducted a preliminary evaluation of accounting policies used by Sun Country compared to accounting policies used by Allegiant and identified an accounting policy difference related to the recognition of maintenance expenses, which is primarily attributed to airframe heavy maintenance, as discussed in Note 5. Allegiant has historically deferred these costs and recognized them over the life of the applicable property and equipment, while Sun Country has historically expensed airframe heavy maintenance amounts as incurred and capitalized engine overhauls under the built-in overhaul method. Management also identified an accounting policy difference related to the classification of investments, as Allegiant classifies investments with maturities greater than one year as long-term, while Sun Country historically classified available-for-sale investments, which are held to support current operations, as short-term, as discussed in Note 5. Management did not identify any other material differences in the companies' accounting policies. Following the completion of the Mergers, Allegiant will conduct a comprehensive review of Sun Country's accounting policies, and as a result of that review, Allegiant may identify differences, which may differ materially from the information presented herein.

The pro forma financial information reflects the pro forma effect of the Mergers using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, *Business Combinations* ("ASC 805"), with Allegiant as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurement*, and is based on the historical financial statements of Allegiant and Sun Country. Refer to Note 4 for additional information regarding the accounting treatment of the Mergers and preliminary purchase price allocation.

The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved had the Mergers been consummated on the dates indicated or that the combined company may achieve in future periods. The pro forma financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Mergers, or any integration costs that may be incurred. The transaction accounting adjustments represent management's best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable and supportable. As the pro forma financial information has been prepared based on these assumptions, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented herein.

Certain amounts included herein have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, amounts shown as totals in certain tables may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the amounts that precede them.

#### Note 3 –Reclassification Adjustments
Reclassification adjustments have been made to conform Sun Country's historical financial statement presentation to Allegiant's financial statement presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income (loss).

#### Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025
The following table presents a summary of reclassification adjustments to conform Sun Country's historical consolidated balance sheet information for the year ended December 31, 2025, with Allegiant's historical consolidated balance sheet presentation for the year ended December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

#### Note 4 – Accounting Treatment and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their acquisition date fair values, and transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of preliminary consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

The preliminary consideration transferred calculated in accordance with ASC 805 is based on the Merger Consideration, as delineated in the Merger Agreement, and other items, as applicable. The final consideration transferred will be based on the actual number of Allegiant Common Stock issued multiplied by the Allegiant's closing share price as of the date of the closing of the Mergers.

In accordance with ASC 805, Allegiant will assign fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed using best estimates and assumptions as of the closing date of the Mergers. The determination of the estimated fair value of assets acquired requires significant judgment and often involves the use of various estimates and assumptions. To determine the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management used benchmark studies in addition to the historical audited balance sheet of Sun Country as of December 31, 2025, collectively with the consequential tax effects of the Mergers.

The estimated fair values and purchase price allocation are preliminary as the Mergers have not yet closed. A final determination of the fair value of assets acquired, including any property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date will be performed within one year of the Mergers' closing date. Since the pro forma financial information has been prepared based on preliminary fair values, the final amounts may differ materially from the information presented herein.

(1) The estimated shares of Sun Country Common Stock is based on 53,453,882 shares of Sun Country Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 9, 2026, as disclosed in the Merger Agreement, as well as the value of the estimated shares of Allegiant Common Stock to be issued to Amazon Holder in connection with the settlement of the Sun Country Warrant.

The preliminary consideration transferred could significantly differ from the amounts presented due to movements in Allegiant's share price and changes in fair value of the Allegiant Common Stock up to the closing date. A hypothetical increase or decrease of 10.0% in the share price of Allegiant's common stock as of March 16, 2026, would have the following impact on the value of the preliminary Stock Consideration:

s) Reflects increases to special charges, net of $68.9 million related to non-recurring transaction costs (primarily legal and professional services fees) not reflected in the historical financial statements that Allegiant expects to incur related to the Mergers.

t) Reflects a decrease in interest expense of $0.3 million related to Sun Country's historical interest expense recognized in relation to its revolving credit facility, which will be terminated in connection with the Mergers.

u) Reflects an increase in income tax benefit of $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, resulting from the income tax impact of pro forma adjustments utilizing a blended effective tax rate of 9.85% for the year ended December 31, 2025.

#### Note 6 – Earnings (Loss) per Share
The following table presents the calculation of pro forma basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **(In thousands, except per share data)** | **Year Ended**<br>**December 31, 2025** |
| **Numerator (basic and diluted)**<br>|  |
| Pro forma net loss | $(42620) |
| **Denominator (basic and diluted)**<br>|  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Historical weighted-average shares outstanding | 18050  |
| Shares of Allegiant Common Stock issued as consideration transferred | 8323  |
| Sun Country's equity awards converted to Allegiant Common Stock | 363  |
| Shares of Allegiant Common Stock issued to Amazon Holder | 279 |
| **Total weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted)** | 27015  |
| **Pro forma loss per share**<br>|  |
| Basic | $(1.58) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted | $(1.58) |

---

A net loss cannot be diluted. When a company is in a net loss position, basic and diluted loss per share are the same. The 8.3 million shares of Allegiant Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Mergers and 0.4 million shares of Allegiant Common Stock expected to be issued in connection with the acceleration of Sun Country's equity awards, which includes the Sun Country RSU Awards, Sun Country PRSU Awards, and Sun Country Stock Options, and the 0.3 million shares of Allegiant Common Stock expected to be issued to Amazon Holder as part of the settlement of the Sun Country Warrant are assumed to be outstanding for the entirety of the period presented.

The computation of pro forma diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2025, excludes approximately 0.5 million shares that would have resulted from the conversion of Allegiant's 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), unvested Allegiant RSU Awards, and Allegiant equity awards to be issued to replace Sun Country equity awards under the treasury stock method because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Upon Allegiant generating net income in future years, the denominator of a diluted earnings per share calculation will include both the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the number of common stock equivalents, if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive.

#### RISK FACTORS
*In addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including, among others, the matters addressed in "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on page [49](#tFLS), you should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding whether to vote for the share issuance proposal, in the case of Allegiant stockholders, or for the merger agreement proposal, in the case of Sun Country stockholders. In addition, you should read and consider the risks associated with each of the businesses of Allegiant and Sun Country because these risks will relate to the combined company following closing. Descriptions of some of these risks can be found in the respective Annual Reports of Allegiant and Sun Country on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as such risks may be updated or supplemented in each company's subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. You should also consider the other information in this document and the other documents incorporated by reference into this document. See "Where You Can Find More Information" beginning on page [171](#tWYC).* 

#### Risks Related to the Proposed Transactions
***The proposed transactions will involve substantial costs to Sun Country and Allegiant and the pendency of the proposed transactions may cause disruption in Sun Country's and Allegiant's respective businesses.***

The merger agreement requires Sun Country and Allegiant to operate in the ordinary course of business and restricts Sun Country and Allegiant from taking specified actions without the other party's consent until the proposed transactions occur or the merger agreement terminates. Matters relating to the proposed transactions are expected to occupy a significant amount of Sun Country management's and Allegiant management's time. The diversion of Sun Country management's and Allegiant management's attention away from day-to-day business concerns and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration planning process could adversely affect Sun Country's and Allegiant's businesses, results of operations and financial conditions.

In addition, Sun Country and Allegiant have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs, expenses and fees in connection with the proposed transactions. The substantial majority of these costs will be non-recurring expenses relating to the proposed transactions, some of which are payable regardless of whether or not the proposed transactions are consummated. Litigation may be filed in connection with the proposed transactions and defending any such litigation could prove costly and time consuming.

***In order to complete the proposed transactions, Sun Country and Allegiant must obtain certain regulatory approvals, and if such approvals are not granted or are granted with conditions, completion of the proposed transactions may be jeopardized.***

Although Sun Country and Allegiant have agreed to use reasonable best efforts, subject to certain limitations, to make certain governmental filings and obtain the required regulatory approvals, there can be no assurance that the relevant approvals will be obtained.

Governmental authorities may also commence litigation against Sun Country, Allegiant or both to prevent the proposed transactions from occurring. Defending any such lawsuit will be time-consuming and expensive, and there can be no assurance that Sun Country and Allegiant would ultimately be successful.

In addition, an actual or threatened U.S. government shutdown resulting in government agency closures and employee furloughs may impact, could delay or disrupt the ability of Sun Country and Allegiant to obtain certain regulatory approvals which could result in delays to regulatory waiting periods or prevent regulatory clearances required for the consummation of the proposed transactions.

***The proposed transactions may impair Sun Country's and Allegiant's ability to attract and retain qualified employees or retain and maintain relationships with their respective suppliers and other business partners.***

Sun Country and Allegiant employees and other key personnel may have uncertainties about the effect of the proposed transactions, and these uncertainties may impact Sun Country's and Allegiant's ability to retain, recruit and hire key personnel while the proposed transactions are pending or if the proposed transactions fail to close. Furthermore, if key personnel depart Sun Country or Allegiant because of such uncertainties, or because they do not wish to remain with the combined company after the consummation of the proposed transactions, Sun Country's and Allegiant's businesses and results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, Sun Country and Allegiant cannot predict how their respective suppliers and other business partners will view or react to the proposed transactions upon consummation. If

50<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Sun Country and Allegiant are unable to reassure their respective suppliers and other business partners to continue their business with Sun Country and Allegiant, Sun Country's and Allegiant's financial conditions and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***Failure to complete the proposed transactions in a timely manner or at all could negatively impact the market price of Sun Country's and Allegiant's common stock, as well as Sun Country's and Allegiant's future businesses and their results of operations and financial conditions.***

Consummation of the proposed transactions is subject to various customary conditions set forth in the merger agreement beyond the control of Sun Country and Allegiant. The failure to satisfy the required conditions could delay the completion of the proposed transactions for a significant period of time or prevent the proposed transactions from occurring. Further, there can be no assurance that the conditions to the closing will be satisfied or waived or that the proposed transactions will be completed.

Sun Country and Allegiant cannot predict whether and when the conditions to the closing will be satisfied. If one or more of these conditions are not satisfied, and as a result, Sun Country and Allegiant do not complete the proposed transactions, Sun Country and Allegiant may remain liable for significant transaction costs, and the focus of Sun Country and Allegiant management would have been diverted from seeking other potential strategic opportunities, in each case without realizing any benefits of the proposed transactions.

The price of Sun Country's and Allegiant's common stock may also fluctuate significantly based on Sun Country's and Allegiant's results of operation, announcements regarding the proposed transactions or based on market perceptions and other conditions to the closing. Such announcements may lead to perceptions in the market that the proposed transactions may not be completed, which could cause Sun Country and Allegiant's share prices to fluctuate or decline.

If the proposed transactions are not completed in a timely manner or at all, Sun Country's and Allegiant's ongoing businesses may be adversely affected, including as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country and Allegiant may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, and their stock prices could decline to the extent that the current market prices reflect the assumption that the proposed transactions will be completed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country and Allegiant may experience negative reactions from employees, passengers, suppliers, communities or other third parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country and Allegiant may be subject to litigation, which could result in significant costs and expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Managements' focus may be diverted from our day-to-day business operations and from pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to Sun Country or Allegiant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country's and Allegiant's costs of pursuing the proposed transactions may be higher than anticipated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country and Allegiant may have difficulties in attracting and/or retaining key employees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country's and Allegiant's access to capital markets may be limited and they may experience increased borrowing costs.

If the proposed transactions are not consummated, there can be no assurance that these risks will not materialize and will not materially adversely affect Sun Country or Allegiant stock price, business, results of operations and financial condition.

For a discussion of the conditions to the closing, please see "*The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Closing*" beginning on page [127](#tTM2).

#### The merger agreement contains provisions that restrict each party's ability to consider alternative transaction proposals.
The merger agreement contains non-solicitation provisions that, subject to limited exceptions which apply prior to obtaining the requisite stockholder approvals, restrict Sun Country's and Allegiant's ability to solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or facilitate competing acquisition proposals (or engage in, continue to participate in, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate negotiations or discussions regarding such acquisition proposals) for the acquisition of Sun Country's or Allegiant's stock or assets. Under certain limited circumstances, the Sun Country board or Allegiant board may (i) change, withhold, withdraw or modify its recommendation that, with respect to Sun Country, its

51<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal or, with respect to Allegiant, its stockholders vote "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal and/or (ii) terminate the merger agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal. However, before doing so, the Sun Country board or Allegiant board must abide by certain procedures described in the merger agreement that give the other party an opportunity to negotiate to modify the terms of the merger agreement in a manner that any such acquisition proposal would not constitute a superior proposal. In some circumstances, upon termination of the merger agreement, Sun Country may be required to pay a termination fee of $33,020,000 to Allegiant, or Allegiant may be required to pay a termination fee of $52,230,000 to Sun Country. See "*Summary—The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation*" beginning on page [136](#tTM9) and "*The Merger Agreement—Transaction Expenses and Termination Fees*" beginning on page [147](#tTM21).

While the merger agreement remains in effect, these provisions might discourage a third party that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of Sun Country or Allegiant, even if the acquirer was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share cash or market value than the market value proposed to be received or realized in the proposed transactions, or might result in a potential acquirer proposing to pay a lower price than it would otherwise propose to pay due to the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances.

All of the matters described above, alone or in combination, could materially and adversely affect Sun Country's and Allegiant's businesses, financial conditions, results of operations and stock prices.

***The merger consideration payable to Sun Country stockholders will not be adjusted for changes in Sun Country's or Allegiant's business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations, or in the event of any change in the price of Sun Country's or Allegiant's common stock.***

The merger consideration payable to Sun Country stockholders will not be adjusted for changes in Sun Country's or Allegiant's business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations, or changes in the market price of, analyst estimates of, or projections relating to, Sun Country's or Allegiant's common stock. For example, if Sun Country or Allegiant experienced an improvement in its business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations prior to closing, there would be no adjustment to the amount of the merger consideration.

#### Stockholder litigation could prevent or delay closing or otherwise negatively impact Sun Country's and Allegiant's businesses, operating results and financial conditions.
Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger, or other business combination agreements. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against or settlement of these claims can result in substantial additional costs and diversion of management time and resources. Any such future lawsuit or litigation may adversely affect Sun Country's and Allegiant's ability to complete the proposed transactions. Sun Country and Allegiant could incur significant costs in connection with any such litigation, including costs associated with an adverse judgment resulting in monetary damages and the indemnification of Sun Country or Allegiant directors and officers, which could have a negative impact on Sun Country's or Allegiant's liquidity and financial position.

Furthermore, one of the conditions to the closing is the absence of any governmental order or law preventing the consummation of the proposed transactions or making the consummation of the proposed transactions illegal. Consequently, if a plaintiff were to secure injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting Sun Country's and Allegiant's ability to complete the proposed transactions, then such injunctive or other relief may prevent the proposed transactions from becoming effective within the expected time frame or at all.

***The shares of Allegiant common stock to be received by Sun Country stockholders upon completion of the proposed transactions will have different rights from shares of Sun Country common stock.***

Upon completion of the proposed transactions, Sun Country stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Sun Country but will instead become stockholders of Allegiant, and their rights as Allegiant stockholders will be governed by Nevada law, the terms of the Allegiant articles of incorporation and the Allegiant bylaws. Nevada law, the terms of the Allegiant articles of incorporation and the Allegiant bylaws are in some respects materially different than Delaware law, the terms of the Sun Country certificate of incorporation and the Sun Country bylaws, which currently govern the rights of Sun Country stockholders. For a discussion of the different rights associated with shares of Sun Country common stock and shares of Allegiant common stock, see "*Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of Allegiant and Sun Country*" beginning on page [158](#tCOR).

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
***If the mergers do not qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a) of the Code, the U.S. holders of Sun Country common stock may be required to pay additional U.S. federal income taxes.***

Sun Country and Allegiant intend for the mergers, taken together, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Sun Country and Allegiant intend to report the mergers consistent with such qualification. Assuming the mergers so qualify, a U.S. holder (as defined in "*The Proposed Transactions—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences*") of Sun Country common stock that receives shares of Allegiant common stock and cash in exchange for shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the first merger generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Allegiant common stock received by such U.S. holder in the first merger exceeds such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such U.S. holder's Sun Country common stock exchanged therefor and (ii) the amount of cash received by such U.S. holder. However, it is not a condition to Allegiant's obligation or Sun Country's obligation to complete the proposed transactions that the mergers, taken together, qualify as a "reorganization" or that Sun Country or Allegiant receive an opinion from counsel to that effect, and it is possible that the mergers, taken together, may not so qualify.

Sun Country and Allegiant have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regarding any matters relating to the proposed transactions and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service would not assert that the mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization," or that a court would not sustain such a position. If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a court were to determine that the mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder of Sun Country common stock that receives shares of Allegiant common stock and cash in exchange for shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the first merger generally would recognize taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Allegiant common stock received by such U.S. holder and (ii) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the Sun Country common stock exchanged therefor.

Holders of Sun Country common stock should consult with their tax advisors to determine the particular U.S. federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences of the proposed transactions to them. For a more detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the proposed transactions, see "*The Proposed Transactions—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences*" beginning on page [123](#tTP18).

***Even if the merger agreement proposal is approved by Sun Country stockholders, the date that Sun Country stockholders will receive the merger consideration is still uncertain.***

As described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, completing the proposed transactions is subject to numerous conditions, not all of which are controllable or waivable by Sun Country or Allegiant. Accordingly, if the merger agreement proposal is approved by Sun Country stockholders, the date that Sun Country stockholders will receive the merger consideration depends on the closing date, which is uncertain.

***Members of the management and boards of directors of Allegiant and Sun Country have interests in the proposed transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders.***

In considering whether to approve the share issuance proposal, Allegiant stockholders should be aware that Allegiant's directors and executive officers have interests in the proposed transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Allegiant stockholders generally. These interests include the following: the members of the Allegiant board will remain on the Allegiant board, Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., the Chairman of the Allegiant board will remain as the Chairman of the Allegiant board and the executive officers of Allegiant will remain the executive officers of the combined company.

The Allegiant board was made aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and in reaching its decision to (i) determine that the merger agreement and the consummation of the proposed transactions were advisable and in the best interests of Allegiant and (ii) direct that the share issuance proposal and the Allegiant adjournment proposal be submitted to the Allegiant stockholders for approval at the Allegiant special meeting. These interests are discussed in more detail in "*The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Allegiant Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions*."

In considering the recommendation of the Sun Country board to approve the merger agreement proposal, Sun Country stockholders should be aware that Sun Country's directors and executive officers have interests in the proposed

53<br>

------

transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Sun Country stockholders generally, including the assumption and accelerated vesting of certain outstanding Sun Country equity awards in connection with the proposed transactions, potential severance benefits, payment of pro-rated annual bonuses, rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage and potential payments under the tax receivable agreement.

These interests also include that, immediately following the second effective time, the Allegiant board will take all actions necessary (i) to increase the size of the Allegiant board, as of immediately after the second effective time, by three members (including by amending the Allegiant bylaws to permit such increase) and (ii) to cause three individuals selected by Sun Country in writing no less than 15 business days prior to the closing, one of which will be Jude Bricker and the other two of which will be directors serving on the Sun Country board immediately prior to the first effective time, to be appointed as members of the Allegiant board. The Sun Country director nominees (other than Mr. Bricker) must, among other things, be independent of the combined company under the applicable rules of Nasdaq, as determined by the Allegiant board and its nominating and governance committee, acting reasonably and in good faith, and reasonably acceptable to the nominating and governance committee of the Allegiant board. Following closing, Mr. Bricker will also serve as Special Advisor to the Allegiant chief executive officer.

The Sun Country board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and in reaching its decision to (i) determine that it is fair to and in the best interests of Sun Country and its stockholders, and declare it advisable, to enter into the merger agreement and consummate the proposed transactions, (ii) approve and declare advisable the merger agreement and the proposed transactions; (iii) direct that the merger agreement be submitted to the stockholders of Sun Country for adoption and (iv) recommend that the stockholders of Sun Country vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. These interests are discussed in more detail in "*The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions.*"

***None of the opinions regarding the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration delivered to the Allegiant board and the Sun Country board prior to the signing of the merger agreement reflects any changes in circumstances since the date on which such opinions were delivered.***

Each of the opinions rendered by Barclays, financial advisor to Allegiant, to the Allegiant board on, and dated, January 11, 2026, and by Goldman Sachs, financial advisor to Sun Country, to the Sun Country board on, and dated, January 11, 2026, were based upon information available to such financial advisors as of the date of each respective opinion. None of the opinions reflect any changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date on which that opinion was delivered, including changes to the operations and prospects of Allegiant and Sun Country, changes in general market and economic conditions, or other changes which may be beyond the control of Allegiant and Sun Country. Any such changes may alter the relative value of Allegiant and Sun Country or the prices of shares of Allegiant common stock or Sun Country common stock by the time the proposed transactions are completed. For a description of the opinion that the Allegiant board received from Allegiant's financial advisor, see "*The Proposed Transactions—Opinion of Allegiant's Financial Advisor*" beginning on page [94](#tTP6). For a description of the opinion that the Sun Country board received from Sun Country's financial advisor, see "*The Proposed Transactions—Opinion of Sun Country's Financial Advisor*" beginning on page [101](#tTP7).

***Completion of the proposed transactions may trigger change in control or other provisions in certain agreements to which Sun Country or its subsidiaries are a party, which may have an adverse impact on the combined company's business and results of operations.***

The completion of the proposed transactions may trigger change in control and other provisions in certain agreements to which Sun Country or its subsidiaries are a party. If Allegiant and Sun Country are unable to negotiate waivers of those provisions, the counterparties may exercise their rights and remedies under the agreements, potentially terminating the agreements or seeking monetary damages. Even if Allegiant and Sun Country are able to negotiate waivers, the counterparties may require a fee for such waivers or seek to renegotiate the agreements on terms less favorable to Sun Country or the combined company. Any of the foregoing or similar developments may have an adverse impact on the combined company's business and results of operations.

#### Sun Country's and Allegiant's financial forecasts are based on various assumptions that may not prove to be correct.
The financial forecasts set forth in "*Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information*" beginning on page [87](#tTP5) are based on assumptions of, and information available to, Sun Country and Allegiant at the time they were prepared and provided to the Sun Country board and Allegiant board, respectively, along with their respective financial advisors. Sun

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Country and Allegiant do not know whether such assumptions will prove correct. Any or all of such forecasts may turn out to be wrong. Such forecasts can be adversely affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Sun Country's and Allegiant's control. Many factors discussed in, or in documents incorporated by reference into, this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the risks outlined in this "*Risk Factors*" section beginning on page [50](#tRF) and the events or circumstances described under "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" beginning on page [49](#tFLS), will be important in determining Sun Country's, Allegiant's, and the combined companies' future results. As a result of these contingencies, actual future results may vary materially from Sun Country's and Allegiant's forecasts.

In view of these uncertainties, the inclusion of Sun Country's and Allegiant's financial forecasts in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is not and should not be viewed as a representation that the forecast results will be achieved. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Sun Country and Allegiant undertake no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update the financial forecasts herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date those financial forecasts were prepared or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. Moreover, neither Sun Country's and Allegiant's independent accountants, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to Sun Country's and Allegiant's unaudited prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or achievability thereof.

#### Risks Relating to the Combined Company after Closing
***The combined company may be unable to successfully integrate the businesses of Allegiant and Sun Country and realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions.***

The success of the proposed transactions will depend, in part, on the combined company's ability to successfully combine the businesses of Allegiant and Sun Country, which currently operate as independent public companies, and realize the anticipated benefits, including synergies, and operational efficiencies, from the proposed transactions. If the combined company is unable to achieve these objectives within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated benefits may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected and the value of its common stock may be harmed.

The proposed transactions involve the integration of Sun Country's business with Allegiant's existing business, which is a complex, costly, and time-consuming process. Neither Allegiant nor Sun Country have previously completed a transaction comparable in size or scope to the proposed transactions. The integration of the two companies may result in material challenges, including, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the diversion of management's attention from ongoing business concerns and performance shortfalls at one or both of the companies as a result of the devotion of management's attention to the proposed transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• managing a larger combined company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• creating, implementing, and executing a unified business strategy, and operational, financial, and managerial control with respect to the combined entity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the inherent risk of integrating complex systems and technologies, including customer reservations systems, operating procedures, regulatory compliance programs, aircraft fleets, networks and other assets in a manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining existing agreements with unions, employees, suppliers, third-party service providers and third-party distribution channels, and avoiding delays in entering into new agreements with prospective employees, suppliers, third-party service providers and third-party distribution channels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining employee morale and attracting, motivating, and retaining management personnel and other key employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• retaining existing business and operational relationships and attracting new business and operational relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• issues in integrating information technology, operational, safety, communications and other systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures and eliminating duplicative operations and inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies;

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• coordinating geographically separate organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unanticipated changes in federal or state laws or regulations or international agreements, including additional regulatory scrutiny or additional regulatory requirements as a result of the transaction or the size, scope, and complexity of the combined company's business operations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unforeseen expenses or delays associated with the proposed transactions.

Many of these factors will be outside of the combined company's control and any one of them could result in delays, increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues, and diversion of management's time and energy, which could materially affect the combined company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Allegiant and Sun Country have operated, and until the closing will continue to operate, independently. Allegiant and Sun Country are currently permitted to conduct only limited planning for the integration of the two companies following the proposed transactions and have not yet determined the exact nature of how the businesses and operations of the two companies will be combined after the proposed transactions. The actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized.

After the closing, the combined company plans to submit to the FAA a transition plan for merging the day-to-day operations of Allegiant and Sun Country under a single operating certificate. The issuance of a single operating certificate will occur when the FAA agrees that the combined company has achieved a level of integration that can be safely managed under one certificate as evidenced by there being one set of FAA-required management personnel in place with such managers having operational control of the merged air carrier operations. The actual time required and cost incurred to receive this approval cannot be predicted. Any delay in the grant of such approval or increase in costs beyond those presently expected could have a material adverse effect on the completion date of the combined company's integration plan and receipt of the benefits expected from that plan. All of these factors could materially adversely affect the combined company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

***The future results of the combined company may be adversely impacted if the combined company does not effectively manage its expanded operations following the closing.***

Following the closing, the size of the combined company's business will be significantly larger than the current size of either Allegiant's or Sun Country's respective businesses. The combined company's ability to successfully manage this expanded business will depend, in part, upon management's ability to design and implement operational, managerial, financial, and strategic initiatives that address not only the integration of two independent stand-alone companies, but also the increased scale and scope of the combined business with its associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that the combined company will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, and other benefits currently anticipated from the proposed transactions.

***The need to integrate the Allegiant and Sun Country workforces following the merger presents the potential for delay in achieving expected synergies, increased labor costs or labor disputes that could adversely affect the combined company's operations.***

The successful integration of Allegiant and Sun Country and achievement of the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions depend significantly on integrating Allegiant and Sun Country's employee groups and on maintaining productive employee relations. Failure to do so presents the potential for delays in achieving expected synergies of integration, increased labor costs and labor disputes that could adversely affect the combined company's operations. Allegiant and Sun Country are both highly unionized companies. The process for integrating labor groups in an airline merger is governed by a combination of the Railway Labor Act, which we refer to as the RLA, the McCaskill-Bond Act, and where applicable, the existing provisions of each company's collective bargaining agreements and union policy. Pending operational integration, it is generally necessary to keep the unionized employee groups at each airline separate and apply the terms of the existing collective bargaining agreements unless other terms have been negotiated.

Under the RLA, the National Mediation Board, which we refer to as the NMB, has exclusive authority to resolve representation disputes arising out of airline mergers. The disputes that the NMB has authority to resolve include (i) whether the proposed transactions have created a "single carrier" for representation purposes; (ii) designation of the appropriate "craft or class"—the RLA term for "bargaining unit"—for bargaining at the combined company on a system wide basis, an issue which typically arises from minor inconsistencies over which positions are included within a particular craft or class at the two companies; and (iii) designation of the representative of each craft or class at the combined company.

56<br>

------

Under the McCaskill-Bond Act, seniority integration must be accomplished in a "fair and equitable" manner consistent with the process set forth in the Allegheny-Mohawk Labor Protective Provisions, which we refer to as the LPPs. Such process consists first of direct negotiations between the companies and the incumbent unions and second, if integration cannot be achieved through agreement, submitting the seniority integration to binding arbitration by a neutral arbitrator. Employee dissatisfaction with the results of the seniority integration can lead to litigation, which in some cases can delay implementation.

Where employees within a craft or class are represented by a union at one airline but not represented at the other, it is possible that the existing union, or another labor organization, may seek to organize the non-represented group or to represent the combined group. This too presents the potential for increased labor costs and labor disputes.

In order to fully integrate the pre-merger represented employee groups, the combined company may be required to negotiate joint collective bargaining agreements covering the respective combined crafts or classes of employees. Where necessary, these negotiations will likely begin after a single post-merger representative has been certified by the NMB.

Prior to the closing, there is a risk of litigation or arbitration by unions or individual employees that could delay or halt the proposed transactions or result in monetary damages on the basis that the proposed transactions either violate a provision of an existing collective bargaining agreement or an obligation under the RLA or other applicable law. The unions or individual employees might also pursue judicial or arbitral claims arising out of changes implemented as a result of the proposed transactions.

There is also a possibility that employees or unions could engage in job actions such as slow-downs, work-to-rule campaigns, sick-outs or other actions designed to disrupt Allegiant and Sun Country's normal operations, whether in opposition to the proposed transactions or in an attempt to pressure the companies in collective bargaining negotiations. Although the RLA makes such actions unlawful until the parties have been lawfully released to self-help, and Allegiant and Sun Country can seek injunctive relief against premature self-help, such actions can cause significant harm even if ultimately enjoined.

#### The combined company is expected to incur substantial expenses related to the closing and the integration of Allegiant and Sun Country.
The combined company is expected to incur substantial expenses in connection with the closing and the integration of Allegiant and Sun Country. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies, and systems that must be integrated, including purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, payroll, pricing, revenue management, marketing, and benefits. In addition, the businesses of Allegiant and Sun Country will continue to maintain a presence in Las Vegas, Nevada and Minneapolis, Minnesota, respectively. The substantial majority of these costs will be non-recurring expenses related to the proposed transactions (including any financing of the proposed transactions), facilities, and systems consolidation costs. The combined company may incur additional costs to retain employees and/or maintain employee morale and to attract, motivate, or retain management personnel and other key employees. Allegiant and Sun Country will also incur transaction fees and costs related to formulating integration plans for the combined business, and the execution of these plans may lead to additional unanticipated costs. These incremental transaction and merger-related costs may exceed the savings the combined company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative costs and the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, particularly in the near term, and in the event there are material unanticipated costs.

#### The combined company's indebtedness may limit its flexibility and increase its borrowing costs.
As of December 31, 2025, Allegiant had approximately $1.8 billion of outstanding indebtedness (including finance leases) and Sun Country had approximately $574.4 million of outstanding indebtedness (including finance leases). The combined company's consolidated indebtedness may have the effect of, among other things, increasing borrowing costs. In addition, the amount of cash required to service the indebtedness levels will be greater than the amount of cash flows required to service the indebtedness of Allegiant or Sun Country individually prior to completion of the proposed transactions. The level of indebtedness could also reduce dividend payments, share repurchases, and other activities and may create competitive disadvantages relative to other companies with lower debt levels. The combined company may be required to raise additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other general corporate purposes. The combined company's ability to arrange additional financing or refinancing will depend on, among other factors, its financial condition and performance, as well as prevailing market conditions and other factors beyond its control. There can be no assurance that the combined company will be able to obtain additional financing or arrange refinancing on terms acceptable to it or at all, and any such failure could materially adversely affect its

operations and financial condition. For more information on the financial impact of the proposed transactions on the combined company's indebtedness, see "*Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information*" beginning on page [33](#tUPF).

***The market price of the combined company's common stock may be affected by factors different from those that are currently affecting or have historically affected the price of Allegiant or Sun Country common stock.***

Upon the closing, holders of Allegiant common stock and Sun Country common stock will be holders of Allegiant common stock. As the businesses of Allegiant and Sun Country are different, the results of operations as well as the price of the combined company's common stock may in the future be affected by factors different from those factors affecting Allegiant and Sun Country as independent stand-alone companies. The combined company will face additional risks and uncertainties that Allegiant or Sun Country may not currently be exposed to as independent companies.

#### The market price of Allegiant's common stock may decline as a result of the proposed transactions.
The market price of Allegiant common stock may decline as a result of the proposed transactions, and holders of Allegiant common stock could lose value in their investment in Allegiant common stock, if, among other things, the combined company is unable to achieve the expected growth in earnings, or if the anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation, and operational efficiencies, from the proposed transactions are not realized, or if the transaction costs related to the proposed transactions are greater than expected. The market price also may decline if the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the proposed transactions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or if the effect of the proposed transactions on the combined company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts. The issuance of shares of Allegiant common stock in the first merger could on its own have the effect of depressing the market price for Allegiant common stock. In addition, many Sun Country stockholders may decide not to hold the shares of Allegiant common stock they receive as a result of the first merger. Other Sun Country stockholders, such as funds with limitations on their permitted holdings of stock in individual issuers, may be required to sell the shares of Allegiant common stock they receive as a result of the first merger. Any such sales of Allegiant common stock could have the effect of depressing the market price for Allegiant common stock. Moreover, general fluctuations in stock markets could have a material adverse effect on the market for, or liquidity of, the Allegiant common stock, regardless of the actual operating performance of the combined company.

***The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the combined company's financial condition or results of operations after the proposed transactions.***

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus are presented for illustrative purposes only and are based on various adjustments, assumptions, and preliminary estimates. Consequently, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus may not be an indication of the combined company's financial condition or results of operations following the closing for a number of reasons. The actual financial condition and results of operations of the combined company following the closing may not be consistent with, or evident from, these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements may not prove to be accurate, and other factors, some of which are not known at the present time, may affect the combined company's financial condition or results of operations following the closing. Any potential deterioration in Allegiant or Sun Country's financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variation in the price of Allegiant common stock following the closing.

#### Other Risk Factors of Allegiant and Sun Country
Allegiant's and Sun Country's businesses are and will be subject to the risks described above. In addition, Allegiant and Sun Country are, and will continue to be subject to the risks described in Allegiant's and Sun Country's respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, all of which are filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

#### THE ALLEGIANT SPECIAL MEETING
Allegiant is furnishing this joint proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Allegiant special meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) that Allegiant has called to consider and vote on the share issuance proposal and the Allegiant adjournment proposal.

#### Date, Time, Place, and Purpose of the Allegiant Special Meeting
Together with this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Allegiant is also sending Allegiant stockholders a notice of the Allegiant special meeting and a form of proxy card that is solicited by the Allegiant board for use at the Allegiant special meeting to be held at Allegiant's headquarters at 1201 N. Town Center Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89144 on May 8, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time (unless it is adjourned or postponed to a later date).

Allegiant is holding the Allegiant special meeting for the following purposes:

1. to consider and vote on the share issuance proposal; and 

2. to consider and vote on the Allegiant adjournment proposal. 

Allegiant will transact no other business at the Allegiant special meeting, except for business properly brought before the Allegiant special meeting or, by, or at the direction of the Allegiant board of directors, any adjournment or postponement thereof.

#### Recommendation of the Allegiant Board
After careful consideration, on January 11, 2026, the Allegiant board unanimously (i) determined that the merger agreement and the consummation of the proposed transactions were advisable and in the best interests of Allegiant and (ii) directed that the share issuance proposal and the Allegiant adjournment proposal be submitted to the Allegiant stockholders for approval at the Allegiant special meeting. The Allegiant board recommends that Allegiant stockholders vote "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal and "**FOR**" the Allegiant adjournment proposal. For a summary of the factors considered by the Allegiant board in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the consummation of the proposed transactions, see "The Proposed Transactions—Allegiant's Reasons for the Proposed Transactions; Recommendation of the Allegiant Board of Directors" beginning on page [77](#tTP3).

#### Allegiant Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
The Allegiant record date is March 25, 2026. Only holders of Allegiant common stock as of the close of business on the Allegiant record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Allegiant special meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Allegiant special meeting. As of the Allegiant record date, there were 18,448,344 issued and outstanding shares of Allegiant common stock. Each Allegiant stockholder entitled to vote at the Allegiant special meeting is entitled to one vote per share at the Allegiant special meeting. As of the Allegiant record date, the issued and outstanding Allegiant common stock was held by approximately 163 stockholders of record.

#### Quorum
The Allegiant bylaws require that there be a quorum at the Allegiant special meeting in order for Allegiant to hold a vote on the share issuance proposal. A quorum at the Allegiant special meeting is the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Allegiant common stock outstanding on the record date. Abstentions are included in the shares present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Shares of Allegiant common stock held in "street name" (through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder) with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, and shares of Allegiant common stock with respect to which the beneficial owner otherwise fails to vote, will not be deemed present at the Allegiant special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Failure of a quorum at the Allegiant special meeting may result in an adjournment of the Allegiant special meeting and may subject Allegiant to additional costs and expenses.

#### Required Vote
Assuming a quorum is present at the Allegiant special meeting, approval of the share issuance proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting. **Allegiant cannot complete the share issuance or the mergers** 

60<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
**unless the share issuance proposal is approved at the Allegiant special meeting (or at any adjournment or postponement thereof). For purposes of the share issuance proposal, "votes cast" means votes "FOR" or "AGAINST."** 

As a result, assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting on the share issuance proposal, the failure of an Allegiant stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of an Allegiant stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the share issuance proposal because these failures to vote are not considered "votes cast."

Whether or not a quorum is present, approval of the Allegiant adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting. As a result, abstention from voting on the share issuance proposal, the failure of an Allegiant stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of an Allegiant stockholder to vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the Allegiant adjournment proposal because these failures to vote are not considered "votes cast."

#### Voting Rights; Proxies; Revocation
Allegiant stockholders may vote their shares at the Allegiant special meeting in person or represented by proxy.

#### Voting at the Allegiant Special Meeting
Stockholders of record as of the record date may attend, participate in, and vote at the Allegiant special meeting to be held at Allegiant's headquarters at 1201 N. Town Center Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89144 on May 8, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time (unless it is adjourned or postponed to a later date). Stockholders who hold their shares in street name should contact their bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder (preferably at least five days before the Allegiant special meeting) and obtain a "legal proxy" in order to be able to attend, participate in, or vote at the Allegiant special meeting.

#### Voting By Proxy
To vote by proxy, an Allegiant stockholder may vote through the internet or by telephone or mail as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **TO VOTE THROUGH THE INTERNET OR BY TELEPHONE** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you hold shares of Allegiant common stock directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may vote through the internet at *www.proxyvote.com* or by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903. In order to vote your shares through the internet or by telephone, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your enclosed proxy card (which is unique to each Allegiant stockholder to ensure all voting instructions are genuine and to prevent duplicate voting). You may vote through the internet or by telephone, 24 hours a day, seven days a week prior to the Allegiant special meeting. If you choose to submit your proxy through the internet or by telephone, your proxy must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 7, 2026 in order to be counted at the Allegiant special meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you hold your shares of Allegiant common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you may provide voting instructions through the internet or by telephone only if internet or telephone voting is made available by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with these materials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **TO VOTE BY MAIL** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you hold shares of Allegiant common stock directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may vote by mail by completing, signing, and dating your enclosed proxy card and returning it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope for receipt no later than the close of business on May 7, 2026 in order for your vote to be counted at the Allegiant special meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you hold your shares of Allegiant common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you may vote by mail by completing, signing, and dating the voting

61<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
instruction form provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder and returning it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope. Your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder must receive your voting instruction form in sufficient time to vote your shares at the Allegiant special meeting.

#### Revoking Your Vote
Even if you vote through the internet or by telephone, or you complete and return a proxy card, if you hold shares of Allegiant common stock directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may revoke your vote at any time before voting takes place at the Allegiant special meeting by taking one of the following actions: (i) deliver to the Secretary of Allegiant a written notice of revocation, dated later than the proxy you want to revoke, stating that the proxy is revoked or (ii) submit new telephone or internet instructions or deliver a validly executed later-dated proxy. All written notices of revocation or other communications with respect to revocation of proxies should be addressed as follows: Allegiant Travel Company, 1201 N. Town Center Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89144, Attention: Robert B. Goldberg, Secretary. Such written communications must be received before the time that the proxy you wish to revoke is voted at the Allegiant special meeting.

You may also revoke your proxy by attending and voting during the Allegiant special meeting before the polls are closed.

Please note that if your shares are held in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder and you wish to revoke a previously granted proxy, you must contact that entity and submit new voting instructions to such bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder.

All shares of Allegiant common stock that are entitled to vote at the Allegiant special meeting and are represented by properly completed and valid proxy received by the deadlines set forth above and not revoked will be voted at the Allegiant special meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxy. If an Allegiant stockholder signs a proxy card and returns it without giving instructions for voting on any proposal, the shares of Allegiant common stock represented by that proxy card will be voted "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal and "**FOR**" the Allegiant adjournment proposal.

**Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares of Allegiant common stock you own. Please complete, sign, date, and promptly return the enclosed proxy card today or authorize a proxy to vote through the internet or by phone.** 

#### Beneficial Holders (in "Street Name")
If you hold your shares of Allegiant common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you must instruct your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder on how to vote your shares. Your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote by filling out the voting instruction form sent to you by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, or other record holders through which you may hold shares of Allegiant common stock in "street name" typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on "routine" proposals when they have not received instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. However, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, or other record holders typically are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion on matters that are "non-routine" without specific instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. The share issuance proposal and the Allegiant adjournment proposal are non-routine. Therefore, banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, and other record holders do not have discretionary authority to vote on the share issuance proposal or the Allegiant adjournment proposal.

A broker non-vote with respect to Allegiant common stock occurs when (i) a share of Allegiant common stock held by a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder is present, in person or represented by proxy, at a meeting of Allegiant stockholders, (ii) the beneficial owner of that share has not instructed his, her, or its bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder on how to vote on a particular proposal and (iii) the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary voting power on such proposal. Banks, brokers, nominees, trustees, and other record holders do not have discretionary voting authority with respect to the share issuance proposal or the Allegiant adjournment proposal; therefore, if a beneficial owner of shares of Allegiant common stock held in "street name" does not give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, then those shares will not be present in person or represented by proxy at the Allegiant special meeting. As a result, there will not be any broker non-votes at the Allegiant special meeting.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Because the share issuance proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting, and because your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on the share issuance proposal, the failure to provide your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with voting instructions will have no effect on approval of the share issuance proposal, assuming a quorum is present.

Likewise, because the Allegiant adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting, and because your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on the Allegiant adjournment proposal, the failure to provide your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with voting instructions will have no effect on approval of the Allegiant adjournment proposal, assuming a quorum is present.

#### Stock Ownership of and Voting by Allegiant Directors and Executive Officers
As of the Allegiant record date, Allegiant's directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned in the aggregate approximately 2.37 million shares of Allegiant common stock entitled to vote at the Allegiant special meeting, which represents approximately 12.9% of the shares of Allegiant common stock entitled to vote at the Allegiant special meeting.

Each of Allegiant's directors and executive officers is expected, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to vote his, her, or its shares of Allegiant common stock "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal and "**FOR**" the Allegiant adjournment proposal, although none of Allegiant's directors and executive officers have entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

#### Sun Country Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote
The Sun Country record date is March 25, 2026. Only holders of record of Sun Country common stock as of the close of business on the Sun Country record date are entitled to notice of, to attend and to vote at, the Sun Country special meeting, unless a new record date is set in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Sun Country special meeting. As of the Sun Country record date, there were 54,191,637 issued and outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock. Each Sun Country stockholder entitled to vote at the Sun Country special meeting is entitled to one vote per share at the Sun Country special meeting.

#### Quorum
The Sun Country bylaws require that there be a quorum at the Sun Country special meeting in order for Sun Country to hold a vote on the merger agreement proposal or the merger-related compensation proposal. A quorum at the Sun Country special meeting is the presence, in person, or represented by proxy, of a majority in voting power of the outstanding capital stock entitled vote at the Sun Country special meeting. Abstentions are included in the shares present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Shares of Sun Country common stock held in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, and shares of Sun Country common stock with respect to which the beneficial owner otherwise fails to vote, will not be deemed present at the Sun Country special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Failure of a quorum at the Sun Country special meeting may result in an adjournment of the Sun Country special meeting and may subject Sun Country to additional costs and expenses.

#### Required Vote
Assuming a quorum is present at the Sun Country special meeting, approval of the merger agreement proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to vote thereon at the Sun Country special meeting. **Approval of the merger agreement proposal is required to complete the proposed transactions.** Assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting on the merger agreement proposal, the failure of a Sun Country stockholder who holds his, her, or its shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, or any other failure of a Sun Country stockholder to vote, will have the effect of a vote "**AGAINST**" the merger agreement proposal.

Assuming a quorum is present at the Sun Country special meeting, approval of the merger-related compensation proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Sun Country special meeting and entitled to vote on the merger-related compensation proposal. This vote will be on a non-binding, advisory basis. Assuming a quorum is present, abstention from voting on the merger-related compensation proposal will have the effect of a vote "**AGAINST**" the merger agreement proposal.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **TO VOTE BY MAIL.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you hold shares of Sun Country common stock directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may vote by mail by completing, signing, and dating your enclosed proxy card and returning it using the postage-paid envelope provided. Your completed, signed, and dated proxy card must be received prior to the Sun Country special meeting in order for your vote to be counted at the Sun Country special meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you hold your shares of Sun Country common stock in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, please contact such entity for instructions on how to vote your shares of Sun Country common stock at the Sun Country special meeting. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder with these materials. Note that your broker, bank, or other nominee may have an earlier deadline for submission of votes than the deadline for holders of record.

#### Revoking Your Vote
Even if you vote through the internet or by telephone, or you complete and return a proxy card, if you hold shares of Sun Country common stock directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may revoke your vote at any time before the closing of the polls at the Sun Country special meeting by taking one of the following actions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• giving written notice of revocation to Sun Country's Corporate Secretary at Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc., 2005 Cargo Road, Minneapolis, MN 55450, which must be received by 11:59 p.m., Central Time, on May 7, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• submitting new voting instructions over the telephone or the internet by 11:59 p.m., Central Time, on May 7, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• joining the Sun Country special meeting and voting virtually during the meeting.

If you hold your shares in "street name" through a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you must contact your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder to change your vote or obtain a written legal proxy to vote your shares if you wish to cast your vote in person at the Sun Country special meeting.

#### Generally
If your shares are held in "street name" in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder. Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card or voting instruction form directly to Sun Country. Your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder is obligated to provide you with a voting instruction form for you to use.

Applicable stock exchange rules permit brokers to vote their customers' stock held in street name on routine matters when the brokers have not received voting instructions from their customers. Those rules do not, however, allow brokers to vote their customers' stock held in street name on non-routine matters unless they have received voting instructions from their customers. In such cases, the uninstructed shares for which the broker is unable to vote are called broker non-votes. It is expected that all proposals to be voted on at the Sun Country special meeting are non-routine matters on which brokers are not allowed to vote unless they have received voting instructions from their customers.

If you are a Sun Country "street name" stockholder and you do not instruct your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder on how to vote your shares:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder may not vote your shares on the merger agreement proposal, which broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote "**AGAINST**" this proposal (assuming a quorum is present);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder may not vote your shares on the merger-related compensation proposal, which broker non-votes will no effect on the outcome of this proposal (assuming a quorum is present); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• your bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other record holder may not vote your shares on the Sun Country adjournment proposal, which broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal (whether or not a quorum is present).

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
All shares of Sun Country common stock that are entitled to vote at the Sun Country special meeting and are represented by properly completed and valid proxy received by the deadlines set forth above and not revoked will be voted at the Sun Country special meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxy. If a Sun Country stockholder signs a proxy card and returns it without giving instructions for voting on any proposal, the shares of Sun Country common stock represented by that proxy card will be voted "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal, "**FOR**" the merger-related compensation proposal and "**FOR**" the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

**Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares of Sun Country common stock you own. Please complete, sign, date, and promptly return the enclosed proxy card today or authorize a proxy to vote through the internet or by phone.** 

#### Stock Ownership of and Voting by Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers
As of the Sun Country record date, Sun Country's directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned in the aggregate 1,715,345 shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to vote at the Sun Country special meeting, which represents approximately 3.2% of the shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to vote at the Sun Country special meeting.

Each of Sun Country's directors and executive officers is expected, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to vote his, her, or its shares of Sun Country common stock "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal, "**FOR**" the merger-related compensation proposal and "**FOR**" the Sun Country adjournment proposal, although none of Sun Country's directors and executive officers have entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

#### Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses of Solicitation
The Sun Country board is soliciting proxies with respect to the merger agreement proposal, the merger-related compensation proposal and the Sun Country adjournment proposal, and Sun Country will bear the costs and expenses of that solicitation. Sun Country has engaged Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Sun Country special meeting, and Sun Country has agreed to pay them an estimated fee of up to $30,000 plus their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.

In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of Sun Country may solicit proxies from stockholders in person, by telephone, or by electronic or other means. Sun Country currently expects not to incur any costs beyond those customarily expended for a solicitation of proxies in connection with approval of the merger agreement proposal, the merger-related compensation proposal and the Sun Country adjournment proposal. Directors, officers and employees of Sun Country will not receive additional compensation for their solicitation activities, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with the solicitation.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
*The following discussion contains certain information about the proposed transactions. The discussion is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the merger agreement attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and incorporated herein by reference. We urge you to read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the merger agreement attached as Annex A, for a more complete understanding of the proposed transactions.* 

#### The Mergers
The Allegiant board and the Sun Country board have each unanimously approved or adopted, as applicable, the merger agreement. Under the merger agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into Sun Country with Sun Country surviving such merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant, and (ii) immediately thereafter, Sun Country will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 (renamed "Sun Country Airlines Holdings, LLC") surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant.

At the effective time of the first merger, each share of Sun Country common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the first merger (except for shares held in the treasury of Sun Country, all shares owned of record by Allegiant, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, and dissenting shares), will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration.

Each holder of shares of Sun Country common stock will be entitled to receive as merger consideration for each share of Sun Country common stock held by such holder the per-share cash consideration and the per-share stock consideration.

No fractional shares of Allegiant common stock will be issued in connection with the first merger, and Sun Country stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Allegiant common stock to which they otherwise would have been entitled.

As a result of the foregoing, based on the number of shares and stock-based awards of Allegiant and Sun Country outstanding as of March 26, 2026, the last practicable trading day before the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, it is expected that Allegiant equityholders will represent approximately 67%, and Sun Country equityholders will represent approximately 33%, of the thenoutstanding Allegiant common stock, calculated on a fully diluted basis immediately after the closing.

Allegiant stockholders are being asked to approve, among other things, the share issuance proposal and Sun Country stockholders are being asked to approve, among other things, the merger agreement proposal. See "*The Merger Agreement*" beginning on page [127](#tTMA) for additional and more detailed information regarding the legal documents that govern the proposed transactions, including information about conditions to the closing and provisions for terminating or amending the merger agreement.

#### Background of the Proposed Transactions
*The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and events that led to and immediately followed the signing of the Merger Agreement. This chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation of or among the members of the Sun Country board, the representatives of Sun Country, or other parties, including Allegiant.*

The Sun Country board, the Allegiant board and senior management of each of Sun Country and Allegiant regularly evaluate their respective companies' strategic direction, ongoing business plans, performance and prospects with a view toward strengthening their respective businesses and financial performance and enhancing long-term stockholder value.

From time to time, Jude Bricker, Chief Executive Officer of Sun Country, has had informal conversations with representatives of Allegiant regarding industry matters. In October 2024, representatives of Sun Country, including Mr. Bricker and Dave Davis, former President and Chief Financial Officer of Sun Country, and representatives of Allegiant, including Greg Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Allegiant, Robert Neal, then Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Allegiant and now President and Chief Financial Officer of Allegiant, and Drew Wells, then Chief Revenue Officer of Allegiant and now Chief Commercial Officer of Allegiant, met for dinner. During the course of discussing various topics over dinner, discussion arose regarding the possibility of a potential transaction involving the two companies, which included a discussion of Sun Country's analysis of potential synergies, but that meeting did not lead to any further discussions regarding a potential transaction. In May 2025, Mr. Bricker met Mr. Anderson in

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Las Vegas. Messrs. Anderson and Bricker discussed a potential transaction between Allegiant and Sun Country, but Mr. Anderson informed Mr. Bricker that Allegiant was currently focused on other matters. In June 2025, Mr. Bricker, Mr. Anderson and Maury Gallagher, Chairman of the Allegiant board, met briefly over lunch in Minneapolis-St. Paul and again had a preliminary conversation about a potential transaction involving Sun Country and Allegiant. Mr. Anderson noted that Allegiant was currently focused on existing airline initiatives and also the divestiture of its Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor property and was not prepared to engage regarding a potential transaction at that time.

In the summer of 2025, Allegiant began engaging with representatives of Barclays as a potential financial advisor with respect to Allegiant's evaluation of various strategic opportunities, including a potential transaction with Sun Country.

On September 15, 2025, Mr. Anderson reached out to Mr. Bricker to express interest in a potential transaction involving Sun Country and Allegiant. On September 16, 2025, Sun Country and Allegiant entered into a customary confidentiality agreement, which included a standstill. On September 22, 2025, representatives of Allegiant sent representatives of Sun Country a list of high-level preliminary due diligence requests.

On October 2, 2025, members of Sun Country senior management met with representatives of Goldman Sachs, as Sun Country considered engaging a financial advisor. The representatives of Goldman Sachs provided an overview of the services Goldman Sachs could offer as financial advisor to Sun Country in connection with a potential transaction with Allegiant or other strategic alternatives, as well as preliminary perspectives on a potential transaction with Allegiant. After the meeting, Sun Country management concluded they would update the Sun Country board with respect to such overview and work with representatives of Milbank LLP, Sun Country's outside counsel, which we refer to as Milbank, to draft an engagement letter to be entered into with Goldman Sachs as Sun Country's financial advisor.

On October 3, 2025, members of Sun Country management, including Mr. Bricker, Rose Neale, Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of Sun Country, Torque Zubeck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Sun Country, and Bill Trousdale, Vice President of FP&A and Treasurer of Sun Country, held a call with representatives of Allegiant, including Mr. Anderson, Mr. Neal, Robert Goldberg, Senior Vice President and Senior Counsel of Allegiant, Mr. Wells and Asad Shaikh, Senior Vice President, Fleet Planning & Corporate Finance of Allegiant, during which Sun Country provided narrative responses to certain of Allegiant's high-level preliminary due diligence requests.

On October 7, 2025, the Sun Country board held a special meeting, with members of management and representatives of each of Milbank and Goldman Sachs in attendance. The Sun Country management team provided an update on the recent outreach from representatives of Allegiant indicating renewed interest in an acquisition of Sun Country, including a planned upcoming meeting with representatives of Allegiant to discuss the parties' high-level preliminary due diligence requests. The Sun Country board discussed potential considerations with respect to exploring a transaction with Allegiant. The Sun Country board also discussed a potential acquisition target that had been identified by Sun Country. The Sun Country board directed the management team to continue to explore a potential transaction with Allegiant and the potential acquisition opportunity. Milbank then provided an overview of the fiduciary duties of members of the Sun Country board in connection with the potential strategic alternatives. Sun Country management also noted that Sun Country is party to an Income Tax Receivable Agreement, which we refer to as the TRA, under which pre-IPO stockholders (including Mr. Bricker and Kerry Philipovitch) of Sun Country are entitled to certain payments upon a change of control of Sun Country (see "—*Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers*" beginning on page [108](#tTP9)). Representatives of Goldman Sachs then reviewed with the Sun Country board an update on the current macroeconomic environment and the U.S. airline industry. The representatives of Goldman Sachs then exited the meeting.

After the representatives of Goldman Sachs exited the meeting, the Sun Country board, together with management and representatives of Milbank, discussed the potential engagement of Goldman Sachs as financial advisor to Sun Country, noting, among other things, the Sun Country management team's previous experience with Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs' experience in the airline industry, Goldman Sachs' experience negotiating large M&A transactions and the fact that other financial advisors considered by Sun Country had pre-existing conflicts of interest. Following discussion, the Sun Country board determined to engage Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor. The Sun Country board then directed management to work with Milbank to finalize an engagement letter with Goldman Sachs consistent with the terms presented during the meeting.

On October 8, 2025, members of Sun Country and Allegiant management, together with representatives of each of Goldman Sachs and Barclays, met at Milbank's offices. The parties discussed responses to high-level preliminary due

diligence items, and Allegiant indicated that an acquisition proposal would likely follow in the near term. Following this meeting and through the days leading up to the execution of the merger agreement, members of this group continued to meet to discuss due diligence matters related to the potential transaction.

On October 27, 2025, Allegiant finalized an engagement letter with Barclays to serve as its financial advisor with respect to a potential transaction with Sun Country. In connection with the engagement of Barclays, Barclays delivered a customary relationship disclosure letter to Allegiant on December 16, 2025, which was subsequently updated on January 9, 2026.

On October 27-28, 2025, the Allegiant board held a regularly scheduled meeting, with members of Allegiant senior management and representatives of Barclays in attendance. During this meeting, Allegiant senior management updated the Allegiant board on potential strategic opportunities, including a potential transaction involving Sun Country. After discussion, the Allegiant board authorized Allegiant management to continue exploring a potential transaction with Sun Country.

On October 30, 2025, Sun Country announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2025.

On November 4, 2025, Allegiant announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2025.

On November 5, 2025, the Allegiant board held an informal teleconference with members of Allegiant senior management, during which Allegiant management discussed with the Allegiant board the terms of a letter setting forth a preliminary, non-binding proposal to acquire Sun Country, which we refer to as the November 5 Letter. The November 5 Letter proposed cash consideration of $6.44 per Sun Country share and approximately 25% pro forma ownership of the combined company through stock consideration of 0.1096 shares of Allegiant common stock per Sun Country share, representing an implied offer price per share of $14.40, a 24% premium to Sun Country's 30-day trailing volume weighted average price, which we refer to as VWAP, per share, and an 18% premium to Sun Country's 60-day trailing VWAP per share. The November 5 Letter also stated that the proposed consideration was based on publicly available information and Allegiant's preliminary calculations as to Sun Country's fully diluted shares outstanding at the implied offer price. With respect to the governance of the combined company, the November 5 Letter stated that Mr. Anderson and Mr. Gallagher would serve as CEO of the combined company and Chairman of the combined company board of directors, respectively, and that Allegiant would add two current Sun Country directors (including Mr. Bricker) to the Allegiant board following the closing of the transaction, with Mr. Bricker serving as Special Advisor to the Allegiant CEO. The November 5 Letter further noted that the proposal was not subject to a financing contingency, and that it assumed a bilateral, exclusive process between Sun Country and Allegiant. After discussion, the Allegiant board authorized Allegiant management to submit the November 5 Letter to Sun Country on the terms presented to the Allegiant board. Later that same day, Allegiant sent the November 5 Letter to Sun Country on the terms authorized by the Allegiant board.

On the morning of November 6, 2025, Sun Country management discussed the November 5 Letter with representatives of each of Milbank and Goldman Sachs. After discussion, Sun Country management directed representatives of Goldman Sachs to convey to Barclays that the Sun Country board would discuss Allegiant's proposal, but that management believed the offer undervalued Sun Country.

On November 7, 2025, representatives of Goldman Sachs reached out to representatives of Barclays consistent with management's instructions. Representatives of Barclays suggested that Sun Country provide a counterproposal. Shortly after the call between representatives of each of Goldman Sachs and Barclays, Mr. Anderson called Mr. Bricker and encouraged Sun Country to provide a counterproposal.

On the evening of November 11, 2025, the Sun Country board held a working dinner, with members of Sun Country management and representatives of each of Milbank and Goldman Sachs in attendance. Representatives of Goldman Sachs reviewed with the Sun Country board Goldman Sachs' preliminary financial analysis of Sun Country and the November 5 Letter. A discussion ensued regarding Goldman Sachs' preliminary financial analysis and Sun Country's strategic alternatives, including continuing as a standalone company. Milbank reviewed the Sun Country board's fiduciary duties in connection with evaluating a strategic transaction. Sun Country management again noted the impact of a change of control under the TRA (see "—*Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers*" beginning on page [108](#tTP9)).

On November 12, 2025, the Sun Country board held a regularly scheduled meeting, with members of Sun Country management and representatives of each of Milbank and Goldman Sachs in attendance. The Sun Country board reviewed financial projections for the Company on a standalone basis, as prepared by Sun Country management, which

70<br>

------

we refer to as the October Sun Country management forecasts, as well as the assumptions underlying the October Sun Country management forecasts. The October Sun Country management forecasts are more fully described in "—*Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information*." The Sun Country board and its advisors then discussed Sun Country's alternatives, considering, among other things, Goldman Sachs' preliminary financial analysis reviewed with the Sun Country board the prior evening, the potential for synergies resulting from a transaction with Allegiant, other potential counterparties to a strategic transaction involving Sun Country, Sun Country's potential future growth and its financial prospects as a standalone company. The Sun Country board discussed potential future inorganic growth opportunities, including the potential acquisition opportunity previously discussed at its October 7 meeting. Sun Country management provided an update on the potential acquisition opportunity, including management's recommendation that Sun Country decline to pursue the opportunity. The Sun Country board also considered whether to conduct outreach to third parties to gauge interest in a potential strategic transaction involving Sun Country. Following discussion, the Sun Country board determined not to conduct outreach to any other third parties at that time, given, among other things, the risk of a leak and the risk that conducting such outreach could jeopardize a potential transaction with Allegiant and that Allegiant assumed a bilateral, exclusive process. The Sun Country board then discussed possible responses to the November 5 Letter, noting that additional stock consideration would be attractive because it would provide Sun Country stockholders with the opportunity to meaningfully participate in the potential benefits of a transaction, including potential synergies. Sun Country management then exited the meeting.

After management (other than Mr. Bricker) exited the meeting, the Sun Country board and its advisors finalized a response to the November 5 Letter. The Sun Country board discussed, among other things, whether to make a specific counterproposal. Following discussion with its advisors, the Sun Country board directed representatives of Goldman Sachs to reach out to Barclays to reject Allegiant's proposal in the November 5 Letter and convey that the Sun Country board was disappointed with Allegiant's offer and expressed a preference for an all-stock proposal. Representatives of Goldman Sachs then held a call with representatives of Barclays, during which they communicated the Sun Country board's message as directed by the Sun Country board.

On November 24, 2025, the Allegiant board held a special meeting, with members of Allegiant senior management and representatives of Barclays in attendance. Allegiant senior management provided an update on ongoing negotiations with Sun Country with respect to a potential transaction, including feedback received from Goldman Sachs with respect to the November 5 Letter. Allegiant management then discussed with the Allegiant board the terms of a letter setting forth a revised preliminary, non-binding proposal to acquire Sun Country, which we refer to as the November 24 Letter. The November 24 Letter proposed cash consideration of $3.60 per Sun Country share plus approximately 33% pro forma ownership of the combined company through stock consideration of 0.1650 shares of Allegiant common stock per Sun Country share, representing an implied offer price per share of $14.40 (based on Allegiant's closing share price on November 21, 2025), a 22% premium to Sun Country's 30-day trailing VWAP per share, and an 18% premium to Sun Country's 60-day trailing VWAP per share. The November 24 Letter also stated that the proposed consideration was based on publicly available information and Allegiant's preliminary calculations as to Sun Country's fully diluted shares outstanding at the implied offer price. The governance terms outlined in the November 5 Letter remained unchanged. Thereafter, the Allegiant board discussed with Allegiant senior management and representatives of Barclays potential synergies relating to a potential acquisition of Sun Country, as well as the standalone prospects for each of Allegiant and Sun Country in relation to consensus estimates and, with respect to Allegiant, internal management forecasts.

in the combined company, to be determined on a fully diluted basis, plus $3.60 in cash for each existing Sun Country share and a $1.50 per share cash dividend to be paid to Sun Country's stockholders prior to the closing of a potential transaction, representing potential cash flow to be generated by Sun Country prior to the closing of the proposed transactions.

A discussion ensued regarding the Revised Allegiant Proposal in comparison to Allegiant's prior proposals and Sun Country's alternatives, including its prospects as a standalone company. The Sun Country board also noted that given the increase in value of the Revised Allegiant Proposal, Sun Country's outstanding warrants would be in the money. The Sun Country board then considered possible responses to the Revised Allegiant Proposal, including, among other things, whether to make another counterproposal. The representatives of Goldman Sachs confirmed that Barclays had indicated the Revised Allegiant Proposal represented Allegiant's best and final offer. The Sun Country board also noted that information regarding Allegiant's long-range plan would only be accessible through a formal due diligence process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the proposed transactions will result in the scale, depth, relevance and capabilities required to compete more effectively, expand investment in improved technology products and services and create the ability to better respond to the competitive challenges and cyclical business conditions of the airline industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the proposed transactions will bring together complementary route networks across Allegiant's small and mid-sized localities and Sun Country's larger cities, including connecting Minneapolis-St. Paul to Allegiant's mid-sized markets and expanding nonstop service to popular vacation spots, with a continued focus on underserved markets across the United States while expanding opportunities into international locations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the combined company will offer Allegiant customers access to expanded service from Allegiant's small and mid-sized cities to some or all of the 18 international destinations currently served by Sun Country;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the greater resources of the combined company should enhance its on-time performance and ability to recover from irregular operations through greater scheduling agility, more broadly available resources, improved reliability and dynamic route planning;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the combined company will offer expanded frequent flyer and membership benefits, combining the best of both companies' programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ the combined company will have more diversified operations, including through the addition of Sun Country's long-term charter contracts and cargo partnerships, that will enhance its ability to balance economic cycles, provide stable revenue streams and maximize aircraft and crew utilization; and

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• management's assessment that the proposed transactions present attributes necessary for a successful airline acquisition, including complementary business models that are consistently profitable, minimal overlap of route networks and acceptable execution risk;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gregory C. Anderson (Chief Executive Officer of Allegiant) will lead the combined company as Chief Executive Officer, Maury Gallagher (Chairman of the Allegiant board) will serve as chairman of the combined company board of directors, and Jude Bricker (the President and Chief Executive Officer of Sun Country) is expected to join the combined company's board of directors and also to serve as Special Advisor to Mr. Anderson to help ensure a smooth and successful integration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the combined company will be headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is expected to maintain a significant presence in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allegiant's and Sun Country's shared cultures rooted in respect, teamwork, opportunity and service; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the combined company's larger network and fleet will create for employees new roles, advancement opportunities and cross-training possibilities.

#### Financial Factors
The Allegiant board considered a number of factors related to the financial rationale for the proposed transactions, including, but not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Allegiant board's expectation that the proposed transactions would result in approximately $140 million in annual synergies (net of dis-synergies) as a result of, among other things, (i) network and scheduling optimization, (ii) expanded Midwest relevance through network and distribution, (iii) improved cobrand economics and enhanced utility for the combined company, (iv) charter effectiveness through broader resources, (v) elimination of duplicative positions, and (vi) volume purchase benefits and centralization of resources;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the belief that Allegiant will have the necessary financing to pay the per-share cash consideration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the per-share cash consideration is fixed, which provides certainty regarding the amount of cash required to be paid by Allegiant to consummate the proposed transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the exchange ratio is fixed and will not change based on changes in the trading prices of Allegiant common stock or Sun Country common stock or changes in the business performance or financial results of Allegiant or Sun Country, which creates certainty as to the number of shares of Allegiant common stock to be issued in the proposed transactions.

#### Terms of the Merger Agreement
The Allegiant board considered the terms of the merger agreement, including the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and rights of the parties under the merger agreement, the conditions to each party's obligation to complete the proposed transactions and the circumstances under which each party may terminate the merger agreement. See the section entitled "*The Merger Agreement*." In particular, the Allegiant board considered the factors below.

*Stockholder Approval* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The share issuance is subject to Allegiant stockholder approval.

78<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
*Regulatory Approvals* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The belief that, although completion of the proposed transactions is subject to HSR Act clearance and the other required regulatory approvals, the parties will be able to obtain HSR Act clearance and the other required regulatory approvals without materially and adversely affecting their respective businesses or the combined company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The belief that the outside date, after which Allegiant or Sun Country, subject to certain exceptions, may terminate the merger agreement, provides the parties with sufficient time to obtain HSR Act clearance and the other required regulatory approvals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allegiant is not required to agree to any regulatory remedies that would have a material adverse effect on Allegiant, Sun Country or the combined company (assuming Allegiant and the combined company are of the same size, scope and scale as Sun Country).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Although Allegiant must pay Sun Country a termination fee of $30,000,000 if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances relating to the failure of the parties to obtain HSR Act clearance or if there is a final, non-appealable law or order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions relating to HSR Act clearance, the Allegiant board's belief that such termination fee is reasonable in light of the circumstances.

*Sun Countrys's Covenants and Agreements* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country is required to pay Allegiant a termination fee of $33,020,000 if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances relating to (i) the Sun Country board changing its recommendation that Sun Country stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal or (ii) Sun Country's entry into a definitive acquisition agreement for a superior proposal to acquire Sun Country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country is required to reimburse Allegiant for its expenses up to $11,000,000 under certain circumstances in which the merger agreement proposal is not approved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The merger agreement provides for reasonable restrictions on the operations of Sun Country's business prior to completion of the proposed transactions.

*Allegiant No-Shop Provisions and Termination Fees* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Although the merger agreement prohibits Allegiant from soliciting a transaction from a third party to acquire Allegiant, the merger agreement does not preclude a third party from making an unsolicited proposal to acquire Allegiant, and Allegiant may provide information and afford access to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, a third party regarding an acquisition of Allegiant, if prior to obtaining Allegiant stockholder approval of the share issuance proposal, Allegiant receives an unsolicited, bona fide written proposal from such third party to acquire Allegiant and the Allegiant board determines that such proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal to acquire Allegiant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In response to the receipt of a superior proposal to acquire Allegiant, prior to obtaining Allegiant stockholder approval of the share issuance proposal, the Allegiant board may change its recommendation that Allegiant stockholders vote "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal if the Allegiant board determines that the failure to make such change in recommendation or to authorize such termination would be inconsistent with the Allegiant board's fiduciary duties under applicable law, subject to compliance with the terms of the merger agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The proposed transactions are subject to an approval from each party's stockholders, which allows sufficient time for a third party to make a superior proposal to acquire Allegiant if it desires to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In response to the occurrence of an intervening event prior to obtaining Allegiant stockholder approval of the share issuance proposal, the Allegiant board may change its recommendation that Allegiant stockholders vote "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal if the Allegiant board determines that the failure to make such change in recommendation would be inconsistent with the Allegiant board's fiduciary duties under applicable law, subject to compliance with the terms of the merger agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Although Allegiant must pay Sun Country a termination fee of $52,230,000 if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances relating to the Allegiant board changing its recommendation that

79<br>

------

Allegiant stockholders vote "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal or Allegiant's entry into a definitive acquisition agreement for a superior proposal to acquire Allegiant, the Allegiant board's belief is that such termination fee is not preclusive and is reasonable in light of the circumstances.

*Other Merger Agreement Terms* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The customary nature of Allegiant's representations and warranties, as well as its other covenants, in the merger agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The current members of the Allegiant board will serve as members of the board of directors of the combined company, and three directors of the Sun Country board, one of whom will be Jude Bricker, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Sun Country, and two of whom will be current members of the Sun Country board and reasonably acceptable to the nominating and governance committee of the Allegiant board, are expected to join the combined company's board of directors.

*Other Factors Weighing in Favor of the Transaction* 

The Allegiant board also considered a number of other factors weighing in favor of the proposed transactions, including, but not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Allegiant equityholders immediately prior to the closing will represent approximately 67% of the outstanding Allegiant common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis immediately following the closing based on each party's respective, applicable fully diluted share counts as of January 9, 2026 and, accordingly, will have the opportunity to participate in the benefits that are expected to result from the proposed transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• information concerning Allegiant's and Sun Country's respective businesses, strategy, current and projected financial performance and condition, operations, management, competitive positions and historical stock performance and related discussions with Allegiant's senior management, in consultation with Allegiant's legal and financial advisors, which information generally informed the Allegiant board's determination as to the relative values of Allegiant, Sun Country and the combined company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the recommendation by Allegiant's senior management in favor of the proposed transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the opinion, dated January 11, 2026, of Barclays to the Allegiant board to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth therein, the merger consideration to be paid under the merger agreement by Allegiant pursuant to the first merger is fair to Allegiant from a financial point of view, as more fully described below under the caption "*Opinion of Allegiant's Financial Advisor* ".

#### Risks, Uncertainties and Other Factors Weighing Negatively Against the Proposed Transactions
The Allegiant board also considered potential risks, uncertainties and other factors weighing negatively against the proposed transactions, including, but not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The exchange ratio is fixed and will not change based on changes in the trading prices of Allegiant common stock or Sun Country common stock or changes in the business performance or financial results of Allegiant or Sun Country. Accordingly, if the value of Sun Country's businesses decline relative to the value of Allegiant's businesses prior to completion of the proposed transactions, the ownership percentage of the current Sun Country stockholders in the combined company may exceed Sun Country's relative contribution to the combined company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The dilution of existing shares of Allegiant common stock as a result of the share issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allegiant and Sun Country will incur substantial costs and expenses in connection with the proposed transactions, including legal, financial advisory and communication advisory fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The difficulties in combining the businesses and workforces of Allegiant and Sun Country based on, among other things, the size, scope and complexity of the two companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The challenges inherent in the management and operation of the combined company, including the risk integration may take a significant period of time, integration costs may be greater than anticipated and integration may require greater-than-anticipated management attention and focus after the completion of the proposed transactions.

80<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The risk that the anticipated synergies expected to be obtained from the proposed transactions might not be achieved in the contemplated time frame, to the degree anticipated or at all.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The risk that Allegiant management's attention and Allegiant's resources may be diverted from the operation of Allegiant's businesses, including other strategic opportunities and operational matters, while Allegiant is working toward the completion of the proposed transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completion of the proposed transactions is subject to HSR Act clearance and the other required regulatory approvals, and receipt of HSR Act clearance and the other required regulatory approvals cannot be guaranteed. Governmental authorities may seek to impose unfavorable terms or conditions on HSR Act clearance or the other required regulatory approvals or not grant HSR Act clearance or the other required regulatory approvals at all. In addition, obtaining HSR Act clearance and the other required regulatory approvals may take a significant period of time, and the pendency of the proposed transactions during such period may preclude Allegiant from pursuing other strategic opportunities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allegiant must pay Sun Country (i) a termination fee of $52,230,000 if the merger agreement is terminated by Allegiant under certain circumstances relating to the Allegiant board changing its recommendation that Allegiant stockholders vote "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal or Allegiant's entry into a definitive acquisition agreement for a superior proposal to acquire Allegiant and (ii) a termination fee of $30,000,000 if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances relating to the failure of the parties to obtain HSR Act clearance or if there is a final, non-appealable law or order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions relating to HSR Act clearance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The risk that the proposed transactions may not be completed despite the parties' efforts or that completion of the proposed transactions may be unduly delayed, even if Sun Country stockholders approve the merger agreement proposal, including the possibility that conditions to the parties' obligations to complete the proposed transactions may not be satisfied, and the potential resulting disruption to Allegiant's business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The potential negative effect of the pendency of the proposed transactions on Allegiant's and Sun Country's respective businesses and relationships with employees, customers, providers, vendors, labor unions and governmental authorities, including regulators and the communities in which they operate, as well as the risk that certain Sun Country employees might choose not to remain employed by Sun Country through the closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Although the merger agreement prohibits Sun Country from soliciting a transaction from a third party to acquire Sun Country, the merger agreement does not preclude a third party from making an unsolicited proposal to acquire Sun Country, and Sun Country may provide information and afford access to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, a third party regarding an acquisition of Sun Country, if prior to obtaining Sun Country stockholder approval of the merger agreement proposal, Sun Country receives an unsolicited, bona fide written proposal from such third party to acquire Sun Country and the Sun Country board determines that such proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal to acquire Sun Country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In response to the receipt of a superior proposal to acquire Sun Country, prior to obtaining Sun Country stockholder approval of the merger agreement proposal, the Sun Country board may change its recommendation that Sun Country stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal if the Sun Country board determines that the failure to make such change in recommendation or to authorize such termination would be inconsistent with the Sun Country board's fiduciary duties under applicable law, subject to compliance with the terms of the merger agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In response to the occurrence of an intervening event prior to obtaining Sun Country stockholder approval of the merger agreement proposal, the Sun Country board may change its recommendation that Sun Country stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal if the Sun Country board determines that the failure to make such change in recommendation would be inconsistent with the Sun Country board's fiduciary duties under applicable law, subject to compliance with the terms of the merger agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completion of the proposed transactions is subject to Allegiant stockholders approving the share issuance proposal and Sun Country stockholders approving the merger agreement proposal and the risk that one or both of such approvals may not be obtained.

81<br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The merger agreement requires Allegiant to agree to take any and all steps reasonably necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act or applicable competition laws that may be asserted by any governmental entity against the mergers, subject to the exception described in the third bullet under the caption "*The Proposed Transactions* — *Allegiant's Reasons for the Proposed Transactions; Recommendation of the Allegiant Board of Directors —Terms of the Merger Agreement—Regulatory Approvals* ".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The merger agreement imposes certain restrictions on Allegiant's operations until completion of the proposed transactions, including that Allegiant may not engage in strategic transactions (including acquisitions) that would reasonably be expected (i) to materially increase the risk of not obtaining HSR Act clearance or of any governmental entity entering an order prohibiting the proposed transactions or (ii) to delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby beyond the outside date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The availability of appraisal rights for Sun Country stockholders that comply with the applicable provisions of Delaware law, and the risk that the "fair value" of the shares of Sun Country common stock held by such stockholders under Delaware law may be higher than the merger consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The potential for litigation by stockholders in connection with the proposed transactions, which, even where lacking in merit, could nonetheless result in distraction and expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Certain of Allegiant's directors and executive officers have interests in the mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Allegiant stockholders generally, as more fully described under the caption "*The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Allegiant Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions*."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Certain senior executives of Sun Country would receive substantial payments in connection with the proposed transactions, and a portion of the payments may not be deductible for federal and state income tax purposes by the combined company. See the section entitled "*The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions —Interests of Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions*."

#### Other Factors
The Allegiant board also considered (i) its fiduciary duties in light of the foregoing, (ii) that its resolutions approving the merger agreement and the proposed transactions were approved unanimously by the Allegiant board, which is comprised of a majority of independent directors that are not employees of Allegiant or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) that it received the views of Allegiant's senior management, and the advice of Allegiant's legal and financial advisors, regarding the proposed transactions and (iv) the type and nature of the risks described under the section entitled "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [50](#tRF) and the matters described under "*Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" beginning on page [49](#tFLS).

#### Conclusion
The Allegiant board unanimously believes that, overall, the potential benefits of the proposed transactions outweigh the risks, uncertainties, and factors weighing negatively against the proposed transactions.

In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the proposed transactions and the complexity of these matters, the Allegiant board did not consider it practical, and the Allegiant board did not attempt, to quantify, rank, or otherwise assign relative weights to the different factors it considered in reaching its decision.

The Allegiant board did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to its ultimate determination, but rather the Allegiant board conducted an overall review of the factors described above, including discussions with Allegiant's senior management and Allegiant's legal and financial advisors. In considering the factors described above, individual directors of the Allegiant board may have given different weight to different factors.

It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of the Allegiant board and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in "*Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*".

#### Sun Country Board's Recommendations and Its Reasons for the Transaction
The Sun Country board, at a meeting held on January 11, 2026, unanimously (i) determined that it is fair to and in the best interests of Sun Country and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into the merger agreement and consummate the proposed transactions, (ii) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the proposed transactions, (iii) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to the stockholders of Sun Country for adoption and (iv) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of Sun Country vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. The Sun Country board unanimously recommends that Sun Country stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal, "**FOR**" the merger-related compensation proposal, and "**FOR**" the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

In reaching its decision to adopt the merger agreement and recommend that Sun Country stockholders approve the merger agreement proposal, the Sun Country board consulted with Sun Country management and independent legal and financial advisors and considered a variety of factors with respect to the proposed transactions, including the following (which are presented below in no particular order and are not exhaustive):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The combined company would be expected to achieve significant synergies following closing, including cost savings and revenue synergies expected from scale efficiencies, fleet optimization and procurement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The current and historical market prices of Sun Country common stock, including the market performance of Sun Country common stock relative to that of other publicly traded companies in Sun Country's sector and general market indices, and the fact that the merger consideration to be received by Sun Country stockholders values Sun Country common stock at $18.89 per share based on Allegiant's closing price on January 9, 2026, which represents a premium of 19.8% over Sun Country's closing share price of $15.77 on January 9, 2026, and 18.8% based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Sun Country board's review of Sun Country's standalone long-range plan and the risks and uncertainties associated with such plan, including the fact that Sun Country management's internal financial projections on a standalone basis, including the forecasts described in "*The Proposed Transactions—Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information* ", include inherent risks and uncertainties and may not be achieved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Sun Country board's assessment of Sun Country's alternatives, and the board's expectation that the merger will create a more competitive and financially successful leisure-focused airline than Sun Country would be able to create on a standalone basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country management's assessment that combining Sun Country and Allegiant presented attributes conducive to a successful airline merger, including strategic fit due to highly complementary business models and limited overlap of route networks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Approximately 78% of the merger consideration, based on each party's respective, applicable fully diluted share counts as of January 9, 2026, will be paid in shares of Allegiant common stock, which would result in Sun Country equityholders representing approximately 33% of the common stock of the combined company on a fully diluted basis immediately following the closing, providing Sun Country stockholders with meaningful participation in the benefits expected to result from the proposed transactions, including expected synergies from the proposed transactions, any potential growth in the earnings and cash flows of the combined company, any potential future appreciation in the value of Allegiant common stock following closing and the expectation that the combined company will be a stronger airline than either Sun Country or Allegiant individually with the scale, breadth and capabilities to compete more effectively in the marketplace and better respond to the competitive challenges and cyclical business conditions of the airline industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Approximately 22% of the merger consideration, based on Allegiant's closing stock price on January 9, 2026, will be paid in cash, providing Sun Country stockholders with significant liquidity upon closing, and enabling Sun Country stockholders to immediately realize a significant portion of Sun Country's present and potential future value without the potential market or execution risks associated with continuing as a standalone company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The exchange ratio is fixed and will not fluctuate based upon changes in the market price of Sun Country or Allegiant common stock between the date of the merger agreement and the date of closing and therefore the value of the merger consideration payable to Sun Country stockholders will increase in the event that the share price of Allegiant increases prior to closing, which the Sun Country board believed was consistent with market practice for transactions of this type and with the strategic purpose of the transaction;

83<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The increase in the ratio of stock consideration to cash consideration that the Sun Country board was able to negotiate and the Sun Country board's conclusion that the merger consideration reflected the best value that Allegiant would be willing to provide;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Sun Country board had carefully considered, with the assistance of Sun Country management and legal and financial advisors, various potential alternatives available to Sun Country, including remaining an independent company and the opportunities, risks and challenges presented thereby;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Sun Country board's assessment of Sun Country business, assets and prospects, its competitive position and historical and projected financial performance (taking into account Sun Country's potential for, and risks to, future growth) and the nature of the industry in which Sun Country operates, including recent competitive and market trends and dynamics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The belief that Sun Country and Allegiant share similar cultures and strategic objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The combined company will provide career growth opportunities for both Sun Country and Allegiant's employees as part of a larger combined enterprise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Three Sun Country directors, including Jude Bricker, would join the Allegiant board in connection with closing, thereby providing the Sun Country board with meaningful representation on the combined company's board of directors and helping to ensure that the combined company has the opportunity to benefit from the insights and experience of the Sun Country board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Historical information concerning Sun Country and Allegiant's respective businesses, financial performance and condition, operations, management, competitive positions and stock performance, which comparisons generally informed the Sun Country board's views as to the relative values of Sun Country and Allegiant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The commitment by Allegiant contained in the merger agreement to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the required regulatory approvals, subject to certain limitations, and the fact that Allegiant would be required to pay Sun Country a reverse termination fee of $30,000,000 in certain circumstances in connection with the failure to obtain HSR Act clearance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ Sun Country's ability to engage in negotiations with third parties regarding unsolicited acquisition proposals made prior to the receipt of Sun Country stockholder approval of the merger agreement proposal under certain circumstances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ The Sun Country board's right, after complying with the terms of the merger agreement, to change its recommendation that Sun Country's stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal under certain circumstances relating to a superior proposal or intervening event, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including payment of a termination fee to Allegiant of $33,020,000 (approximately 3% of Sun Country's equity value as of January 9, 2026), which is within the customary range of termination fees payable in similar transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ The Sun Country board's right, after complying with the terms of the merger agreement, to terminate the merger agreement in order to enter into an agreement with respect to a superior proposal, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including payment of a termination fee to Allegiant of $33,020,000; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○ The likelihood of completion of the proposed transactions, including the number and nature of the conditions to complete the proposed transactions, and the commitment by Allegiant to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law to cause the conditions to each party's obligations to consummate the proposed transactions to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable within the time allotted in the merger agreement, including making all filings with, and obtaining all consents from, any governmental entities that are required to consummate the proposed transactions (subject to the limitations set forth in the merger agreement, including that while Allegiant will be required to litigate and offer certain remedies to obtain HSR Act clearance, Allegiant will not be required to offer remedies that would or would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect as measured against

Sun Country, Allegiant or the combined company (assuming the combined company is the size, scope and scale, and with the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition and results of operations, of Sun Country and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole)). For further discussion of Allegiant's obligations to obtain required regulatory approvals, see "*The Merger Agreement—Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings*" beginning on page [142](#tTM14).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The absence of a financing condition or similar contingency based on Allegiant's ability to obtain financing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Sun Country board's view that the merger agreement provides Sun Country sufficient operating flexibility to conduct its business in the ordinary course until the earlier of closing and the termination of the merger agreement, as further discussed in "*The Merger Agreement—Conduct of Business Pending the Merger* ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Sun Country board's view that the merger agreement contained customary terms and conditions and that such terms and conditions were informed by the advice and professional experience of Sun Country's advisors and were the result of robust negotiations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The opinion of Goldman Sachs, dated January 11, 2026, to the Sun Country board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, and based on and subject to various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken as described in its opinion, of the 0.1557 shares of Allegiant common stock and $4.10 in cash to be paid to holders (other than Allegiant and its affiliates) of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the merger agreement, as further discussed in "*Opinion of Sun Country's Financial Advisor* ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The proposed transactions are subject to the approval by the Sun Country stockholders of the merger agreement proposal, and that Sun Country's stockholders would be free to evaluate the proposed transactions and vote for or against the merger agreement proposal at the Sun Country special meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The fact that if Sun Country's stockholders so desire and if they comply fully with all of the required procedures under the DGCL, they will be able to exercise appraisal rights with respect to the mergers, which would allow such stockholders to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery as further discussed in "*The Proposed Transactions—Appraisal Rights or Dissenters' Rights* ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Sun Country board's belief that regulatory approvals and clearances necessary to complete the proposed transactions are likely to be obtained within the time allotted in the merger agreement and without any material cost or burden to Sun Country or Allegiant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The terms of the merger agreement were informed by the advice and professional experience of Sun Country's advisors and were the result of robust negotiations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a "reorganization" for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which Sun Country's stockholders generally would not recognize gain or loss upon their exchange of Sun Country common stock in the mergers, except for gain recognized with respect to cash received; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The reverse due diligence conducted by management and outside advisors in respect of Allegiant's business.

The Sun Country board also considered potential risks, uncertainties, and other factors weighing negatively against the proposed transactions. The Sun Country board concluded that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions were likely to outweigh these risks substantially. These potential risks included the following (which are presented below in no particular order and are not exhaustive):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The risk that the proposed transactions may not receive the required regulatory approvals or that regulatory authorities may impose terms and conditions on approval, which terms and conditions may adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company and its ability to realize the expected benefits of the transaction or which terms and conditions may result in a condition to closing of the proposed transactions set forth in the merger agreement failing to be satisfied;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The fact that the merger agreement does not require Allegiant to agree to remedies to obtain the required regulatory approvals if such remedies would or would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect as measured against Sun Country, Allegiant or the combined company (assuming the combined company is the size, scope and scale, and with the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition and results of operations, of Sun Country and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole);

85<br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The possibility that the proposed transactions may not be completed, or that their completion may be delayed for reasons that are beyond the control of Sun Country or Allegiant, including the failure of Sun Country stockholders to approve the merger agreement proposal, the failure of Allegiant stockholders to approve the share issuance proposal, the failure to obtain regulatory approvals, or the failure of Sun Country to satisfy other requirements that are conditions to closing, and the impact that such failure or delay would have on Sun Country, the trading price of Sun Country common stock and the market's perceptions of Sun Country's prospects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The risk that the pendency of the proposed transactions or failure to consummate the proposed transactions could adversely affect the operations of Sun Country and its subsidiaries and the relationships of Sun Country and its subsidiaries with their respective employees (including making it more difficult to attract and retain key personnel), customers, suppliers, vendors, and others with whom they have business dealings, including as a result of the expected time period for satisfying the conditions to closing and the risk of potential delays in satisfying such conditions beyond the anticipated time frames;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The exchange ratio is fixed and will not fluctuate based upon changes in the market price of Sun Country or Allegiant common stock between the date of the merger agreement and the date of closing, and therefore Sun Country will be exposed to any adverse development in Allegiant's business, operations, financial condition, earnings, and prospects, and the value of the merger consideration payable to Sun Country stockholders will decrease in the event that the share price of Allegiant common stock decreases prior to closing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The significant effort and cost involved in connection with negotiating the merger agreement and consummating the proposed transactions (including certain costs and expenses if the proposed transactions are not consummated), and the substantial time and effort of management required to consummate the proposed transactions and the potential further disruptions to Sun Country's day-to-day operations during the pendency of the proposed transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The restrictions under the terms of the merger agreement on the conduct of Sun Country's business prior to closing, which could delay or prevent Sun Country from undertaking strategic and other business opportunities that might arise pending completion of the proposed transactions, including in light of the expected time frame for completion of the proposed transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The provisions of the merger agreement that restrict Sun Country's ability to solicit or participate in discussions or negotiations regarding an acquisition proposal, subject to certain exceptions, and that restrict Sun Country from entering into an alternative acquisition agreement, including the covenants in the merger agreement requiring Sun Country to provide Allegiant with an opportunity within three business days to match any acquisition proposal that constitutes a superior proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The amount of time it could take to consummate the proposed transactions, and the possible diversion of management's attention from Sun Country's ongoing business given the substantial time and effort necessary to obtain the required regulatory approvals and complete the proposed transactions and to plan for the integration of the operations of Sun Country and Allegiant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The possibility that Sun Country may be required to pay Allegiant a termination fee of $33,020,000 under certain circumstances following termination of the merger agreement, including if the merger agreement is terminated due to the Sun Country board changing its recommendation that Sun Country stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal, as further discussed in "*The Merger Agreement— Transaction Expenses and Termination Fees* ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The proposed transactions are conditioned on the approval by Allegiant's stockholders of the share issuance proposal and the risk that Allegiant stockholders may not approve the share issuance proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allegiant's ability to engage in negotiations with third parties regarding unsolicited acquisition proposals made prior to the receipt of Allegiant stockholder approval of the share issuance proposal under certain circumstances as further discussed in "*The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation* ";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Allegiant board's right, after complying with the terms of the merger agreement, to (i) change its recommendation that Allegiant stockholders vote "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal under certain circumstances relating to a superior proposal or intervening event, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including payment of a termination fee to Sun Country of $52,230,000, or (ii) terminate the merger agreement in order to enter into an agreement with respect to a superior proposal, subject to the terms and conditions of the

86<br>

merger agreement, including payment of a termination fee to Sun Country of $52,230,000, as further discussed in "*The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation,*" "*The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement*" and "*The Merger Agreement—Transaction Expenses and Termination Fees*";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The substantial costs of integration, diversion of the attention of the combined company's management and other key employees by the integration process and other challenges inherent in the combination of two businesses of the size and complexity of Sun Country and Allegiant, including the risk that integration of the two companies may take more time and be more costly than anticipated and the risk of not being able to realize all of the anticipated synergies and other benefits anticipated to result from the proposed transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The potential for litigation by stockholders in connection with the proposed transactions, which, even where lacking in merit, could nonetheless result in distraction and expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The fact that Sun Country designees will represent less than half of the members of the combined company's initial board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Certain of Sun Country's directors and executive officers have interests in the proposed transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Sun Country stockholders generally (including with respect to the TRA), as further discussed in "*—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions* "; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The risks of the type and nature described under "*Risk Factors*," beginning on page [50](#tRF) and the matters described under "*Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" beginning on page [49](#tFLS) .

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Sun Country board is not intended to be exhaustive. In reaching its decision to adopt the merger agreement, the Sun Country board did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The Sun country board considered all these factors as a whole, including through its discussions with Sun Country management and independent financial and legal advisors, in evaluating the merger agreement and the proposed transactions. For the reasons set forth above, the Sun Country board unanimously (i) determined that it is fair to and in the best interests of Sun Country and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into the merger agreement and consummate the proposed transactions, (ii) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the proposed transactions, (iii) directed that the merger agreement be submitted to the stockholders of Sun Country for adoption and (iv) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of Sun Country vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal, "**FOR**" the merger-related compensation proposal, and "**FOR**" the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

In considering the recommendation of the Sun Country board, you should be aware that certain directors and executive officers of Sun Country may have interests in the proposed transactions that are different from, or in addition to, interests of stockholders of Sun Country generally and may create potential conflicts of interest. The Sun Country board was aware of these interests and considered them when evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and the proposed transactions, and in recommending to the holders of Sun Country common stock that they vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal, "**FOR**" the merger-related compensation proposal, and "**FOR**" the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of the Sun Country board and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in "*Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*".

#### Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information

#### Certain Allegiant Unaudited Prospective Financial Information
Although Allegiant has from time to time publicly issued limited short-term guidance concerning certain aspects of its expected financial performance, it does not, as a matter of course, make public disclosure of detailed forecasts or projections of its expected financial performance for extended periods due to, among other things, the inherent difficulty of accurately predicting future periods and the likelihood that the underlying assumptions and estimates may prove incorrect.

In connection with the proposed transactions, Allegiant management prepared unaudited financial forecasts of Allegiant's standalone performance for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025 and for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2026 through December 31, 2030, which are referred to as the Allegiant management forecasts. The Allegiant management forecasts accounted for the cash flow impact resulting from the utilization of Allegiant's federal

The Allegiant management forecasts were provided to the Allegiant board in connection with its consideration of the proposed transactions and were provided to representatives of Barclays, which was directed by Allegiant management to use and rely upon the Allegiant management forecasts for purposes of its financial analyses and fairness opinion and which use was approved by the Allegiant board. For additional information, see "—*Opinion of Allegiant's Financial Advisor*" beginning on page [94](#tTP6). In addition, certain portions of the Allegiant management forecasts were provided to Sun Country and representatives of Goldman Sachs.

In addition, in connection with the proposed transactions, Allegiant management prepared for illustrative purposes pro forma projections of the combined company for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2029, which we refer to as the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts. The Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts were a combination of the Allegiant management forecasts, the Sun Country management forecasts and the management estimated net synergies and did not take into account estimated integration costs. The Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts were provided to the Allegiant board in connection with its consideration of the proposed transactions and were provided to representatives of Barclays, Allegiant's financial advisor, which was directed by Allegiant management to use and rely upon the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts for purposes of its financial analyses and fairness opinion. For additional information, see "—*Opinion of Allegiant's Financial Advisor*" beginning on page [94](#tTP6).

The Allegiant management forecasts were prepared treating Allegiant on a standalone basis, and the Allegiant management forecasts and the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts were prepared based on assumptions Allegiant management considered to be reasonable based on facts known at such time and, other than the inclusion of the management estimated net synergies in the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts, did not take into account the proposed transactions, including any costs incurred in connection with the proposed transactions or any changes to operations or strategy that may be implemented after the completion of the proposed transactions, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the merger agreement had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed, or not taken in anticipation of the proposed transactions. As a result, actual results will likely differ, and may differ materially, from those contained in the Allegiant management forecasts and the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts. Further, the Allegiant management forecasts do not take into account the effect of any possible failure to complete the proposed transactions.

The information and tables set forth below are included solely to give Allegiant stockholders access to a summary of the Allegiant management forecasts and the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts that were made available to the Allegiant board and Barclays, as well as, with respect to the Allegiant management forecasts, representatives of each of Sun Country and Goldman Sachs, in connection with the proposed transactions and are not included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus in order to influence any Allegiant stockholder on any voting or investment decision with respect to the proposed transactions or for any other purpose.

#### Certain Sun Country Unaudited Prospective Financial Information
Although Sun Country has from time to time publicly issued limited short-term guidance concerning certain aspects of its expected financial performance, it does not, as a matter of course, make public disclosure of detailed forecasts or projections of its expected financial performance for extended periods due to, among other things, the inherent difficulty of accurately predicting future periods and the likelihood that the underlying assumptions and estimates may prove incorrect.

In October 2025, in connection with the proposed transactions, Sun Country management prepared unaudited financial forecasts of Sun Country's standalone performance for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2029, which are referred to as the October Sun Country management forecasts. Thereafter, in December 2025, Sun Country management updated the October Sun Country management forecasts with the December Sun Country management forecasts to reflect the impact of estimated 2025 fourth quarter financial results. The December Sun Country management forecasts also included certain updated forecasts prepared by Sun Country's management of Sun Country's standalone performance for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 that were not included in the portions of the December Sun Country management forecasts provided to Allegiant and Barclays. We refer to the October Sun Country management forecasts together with the December Sun Country management forecasts as the Sun Country management forecasts. The Sun Country management forecasts accounted for the cash flow impact resulting from the utilization of Sun Country's federal net operating loss carryforwards to Sun Country management's estimates of taxable income for fiscal years 2025 through 2033, assuming a 23% tax rate. The Sun Country management forecasts were provided to the Sun Country board in connection with its consideration of the proposed transactions and were provided to representatives of Goldman Sachs, who were directed by Sun Country management and the Sun Country board to use and rely upon the December Sun Country management forecasts for purposes of Goldman Sachs' financial analyses and fairness opinion. For additional information, see "—*Opinion of Sun Country's Financial Advisor*" beginning on page [101](#tTP7). In addition, certain portions of the December Sun Country management forecasts were provided to Allegiant and Barclays, which was directed by Allegiant management to use and rely upon such portions for purposes of its financial analyses and fairness opinion and which use was approved by the Allegiant board. See "—*Opinion of Allegiant's Financial Advisor*" for more information.

In addition, in connection with the proposed transactions, Sun Country management prepared certain unaudited financial forecasts of Allegiant's standalone performance using (i) the Allegiant management forecasts as provided to Sun Country management and (ii) adjustments to the Allegiant management forecasts based on Sun Country management's view of the Allegiant business and financial environment, which are referred to as the Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts. The Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts were provided to the Sun Country board in connection with its consideration of the proposed transactions and to representatives of Goldman Sachs who were directed by Sun Country management and the Sun Country board to use and rely upon the Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts for purposes of Goldman Sachs' financial analyses and fairness opinion. For additional information, see "—*Opinion of Sun Country's Financial Advisor*" beginning on page [101](#tTP7).

Also in connection with the proposed transactions, Sun Country management prepared pro forma projections of the combined company for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2029, which are referred to as the Sun Country pro forma forecasts. The Sun Country pro forma forecasts were a combination of the Sun Country management forecasts, the Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts and the management estimated net synergies. The Sun Country pro forma forecasts were provided to the Sun Country board in connection with its consideration of the proposed transactions and were provided to representatives of Goldman Sachs, who were directed by Sun Country management and the Sun Country board to use and rely upon the Sun Country pro forma forecasts for purposes of Goldman Sachs' financial analyses and fairness opinion.

As a result, actual results will likely differ, and may differ materially, from those contained in the Sun Country pro forma forecasts.

The Sun Country management forecasts and the Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts were prepared treating Sun Country and Allegiant, respectively, on a standalone basis, and the Sun Country management forecasts, the Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts and the Sun Country pro forma forecasts were based on assumptions Sun Country management considered to be reasonable based on facts known at such time and, other than the inclusion of the management estimated net synergies in the Sun Country pro forma forecasts, did not take into account the proposed transactions, including any costs incurred in connection with the proposed transactions or any changes to operations or strategy that may be implemented after the completion of the proposed transactions, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the merger agreement had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed, or not taken in anticipation of the transaction.

#### Management Estimated Net Synergies
Allegiant management and Sun Country management jointly developed an estimate of the net synergies to be realized by the combined company for the three-year period after the closing, which are referred to as the management estimated net synergies. The management estimated net synergies are driven by the belief of Allegiant management and Sun Country management that the combined company will be able to achieve (i) revenue net synergies related to capacity redeployment, market improvements, and charter operations and (ii) cost synergies consisting of general and administrative cost savings, procurement cost savings, and enhanced pilot productivity. The management estimated net synergies reflect an estimate of certain labor-related dis-synergies and the midpoint of the range of aggregate integration costs estimated by Allegiant management and Sun Country management. The management estimated net synergies were provided to the Allegiant board in connection with its consideration of the proposed transactions and were provided to representatives of Barclays, which was directed by Allegiant management to use and rely upon the management estimated net synergies for purposes of its financial analyses and fairness opinion and which use was approved by the Allegiant Board. For additional information, see "—Opinion of Allegiant's Financial Advisor" beginning on page [94](#tTP6). Similarly, the management estimated net synergies were provided to the Sun Country board in connection with its consideration of the proposed transactions and were provided to representatives of Goldman Sachs, who were directed by Sun Country management and the Sun Country board to use and rely upon the management estimated net synergies for purposes of Goldman Sachs' financial analyses and fairness opinion. For additional information, see "—Opinion of Sun Country's Financial Advisor" beginning on page [101](#tTP7).

#### General Information Regarding the Forecasts
The Allegiant management forecasts, the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts, the Sun Country management forecasts, the Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts, the Sun Country pro forma forecasts and the management estimated net synergies, which we refer to collectively as the forecasts, were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure and do not necessarily comply with GAAP or the guidelines published by the SEC or established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation or presentation of prospective financial information. In particular, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted NOPAT, Adjusted EBT and Unlevered Free Cash Flow are financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Allegiant and Sun Country believe that the presentation of these financial measures is relevant and useful for investors because these financial measures allow investors to better gauge the performance of the respective airline. The forecasts should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the financial measures used

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
in the forecasts may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other companies. The forecasts may differ from published analyst estimates and forecasts and do not take into account any events or circumstances occurring or existing after the date they were prepared, including the announcement of the merger agreement.

The forecasts are not fact and are not, and should not be relied on as being, necessarily predictive of future results. Although the forecasts are presented with numerical specificity, the forecasts were based on numerous variables and assumptions (including, but not limited to, those related to industry performance and competition, general business, economic, market, and financial conditions, and additional matters specific to Allegiant's and Sun Country's businesses or which are difficult to predict or subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties) that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond Allegiant management's and Sun Country management's control. Further, given that the forecasts cover multiple years, by their nature, they become subject to greater uncertainty with each successive year beyond their preparation. The ability to achieve the performance contemplated by the forecasts depends on, in part, whether or not strategic goals, objectives, and targets are reached over the applicable period. The assumptions upon which the forecasts were based necessarily involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and regulatory conditions and financial market conditions and future business decisions that may not be realized and that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies, including, among other things, Allegiant's and Sun Country's respective ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives, and targets over applicable periods, the inherent uncertainty of the business and economic conditions affecting the industry in which Allegiant and Sun Country operate, and the risks and uncertainties described in the section "*Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements*" beginning on page [49](#tFLS) and "*Risk Factors*" beginning on page [50](#tRF), all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond Allegiant's and Sun Country's respective control. The forecasts also, with respect to the Allegiant management forecasts, the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts and the management estimated net synergies, reflect assumptions by Allegiant's management, and with respect to the Sun Country management forecasts, the Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts, the Sun Country pro forma forecasts and the management estimated net synergies, reflect assumptions by Sun Country's management, that are, in each case, subject to change and are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual results, revised respective prospects for the Allegiant and Sun Country businesses, changes in general business or economic conditions, or any other transaction or event that has occurred or that may occur and that was not anticipated when such forecasts were prepared. Modeling and forecasting the future performance of a company is a highly speculative endeavor. Since the forecasts cover a long period of time, the forecasts by their nature are unlikely to anticipate each circumstance that will have an effect on the commercial value of Allegiant's and Sun Country's respective services.

Allegiant's management believes there is a reasonable basis for the Allegiant management forecasts, the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts and the management estimated net synergies, and Sun Country's management believes there is a reasonable basis for the Sun Country management forecasts, the Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts, the Sun Country pro forma forecasts and the management estimated net synergies. However, based on the foregoing, (i) none of Allegiant, Sun Country, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors, or other representatives can give any assurance that actual results will not differ from the forecasts, and (ii) future results of Allegiant, Sun Country and the combined company could be materially different from the forecasts. Accordingly, none of Allegiant, Sun Country, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors, or other representatives has made or makes any representation to any stockholder or other person regarding the ultimate performance of Allegiant or Sun Country compared to the information contained in the forecasts or that forecasted results will be achieved. Therefore, and considering that the special meetings will be held several months after the forecasts were prepared, as well as the uncertainties inherent in any prospective financial information, readers of this joint proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forecasts.

In addition, the forecasts have not been updated or revised to reflect information or results after the date they were prepared or as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Except as required by applicable securities laws, Allegiant and Sun Country do not intend to update or otherwise revise the forecasts or the specific portions presented to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error.

The Allegiant management forecasts, the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts and the management estimated net synergies were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Allegiant management. Neither KPMG LLP nor any other independent accountants have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled, or applied any agreed-upon procedures with respect to the Allegiant management forecasts, Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts or management estimated net

synergies contained herein and, accordingly, KPMG LLP does not express any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability, and assumes no responsibility for, and disclaims any association with, the prospective financial information. The KPMG LLP reports incorporated by reference relate to Allegiant's previously issued financial statements incorporated herein. It does not extend to the Allegiant management forecasts, Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts or management estimated net synergies and should not be read to do so.

The Sun Country management forecasts, the Sun Country management Allegiant forecasts, the Sun Country pro forma forecasts and the management estimated net synergies were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Sun Country management. Neither KPMG LLP nor any other independent accountants have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled, or applied any agreed-upon procedures with respect to the Sun Country management forecasts or management estimated net synergies contained herein and, accordingly, KPMG LLP does not express any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability, and assumes no responsibility for, and disclaims any association with, the prospective financial information. The KPMG LLP report incorporated by reference relates to Sun Country's previously issued financial statements incorporated herein. It does not extend to the Sun Country management forecasts or management estimated net synergies and should not be read to do so.

This summary of the forecasts is included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus because the forecasts were provided to (i) the Allegiant and Sun Country boards in connection with their respective consideration of the proposed transactions and (ii) to representatives of each of Barclays and Goldman Sachs for purposes of Barclays' and Goldman Sachs' respective financial analyses and fairness opinion. For additional information, see "—*Opinion of Allegiant's Financial Advisor*" beginning on page [93](#tTP6) and "—*Opinion of Sun Country's Financial Advisor*" for more information beginning on page [101](#tTP7).

#### Opinion of Allegiant's Financial Advisor
Allegiant engaged Barclays to act as its financial advisor with respect to the proposed transactions, pursuant to an engagement letter dated October 27, 2025. On January 11, 2026, Barclays rendered its oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the Allegiant board that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions stated in its opinion, the merger consideration to be paid by Allegiant in the first merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to Allegiant.

**The full text of Barclays' written opinion, dated as of January 11, 2026, is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Barclays' written opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, factors considered and limitations upon the review undertaken by Barclays in rendering its opinion. You are encouraged to read the opinion carefully in its entirety. The following is a summary of Barclays' opinion and the methodology that Barclays used to render its opinion. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.** 

Barclays' opinion, the issuance of which was approved by Barclays' Fairness Opinion Committee, is addressed to the Allegiant board in connection with its consideration of the proposed transactions, addresses only the fairness to Allegiant, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid by Allegiant in the first merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of Allegiant as to how such stockholder should vote with respect to the proposed transactions or any other matter. The terms of the proposed transactions were determined through arm's-length negotiations between Allegiant and Sun Country and were unanimously approved by the Allegiant board. Barclays did not recommend any specific form of consideration to Allegiant or that any specific form of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the proposed transactions. Barclays was not requested to address, and its opinion does not in any manner address, Allegiant's underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the proposed transactions, the likelihood of the consummation of the proposed transactions, or the relative merits of the proposed transactions as compared to any other transaction in which Allegiant may engage. In addition, Barclays expressed no opinion on, and its opinion does not in any manner address, the fairness of the amount or the nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the proposed transactions, or any class of such persons, relative to the merger consideration in the proposed transactions. No limitations were imposed by the Allegiant board upon Barclays with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by it in rendering its opinion.

In arriving at its opinion, Barclays, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed the merger agreement, dated as of January 11, 2026, and the specific terms of the proposed transactions;

94<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed publicly available information concerning Allegiant and Sun Country that Barclays believed to be relevant to its analysis, including Allegiant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, Allegiant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, Sun Country's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and Sun Country's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of Allegiant furnished to Barclays by Allegiant, including the Allegiant management forecasts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of Sun Country furnished to Barclays by Sun Country, including the December Sun Country management forecasts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts, including the management estimated synergies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trading history of Allegiant common stock from January 9, 2023 to January 9, 2026 and Sun Country common stock from January 9, 2023 to January 9, 2026 and a comparison of those trading histories with those of other companies that Barclays deemed relevant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed a comparison of the historical financial results and present financial condition of Allegiant and Sun Country with each other and with those of other companies that Barclays deemed relevant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed a comparison of the financial terms of the proposed transactions with the financial terms of certain other transactions that Barclays deemed relevant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• had discussions with the management of Allegiant concerning its business, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition and prospects; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• has undertaken such other studies, analyses and investigations as Barclays deemed appropriate.

In arriving at its opinion, Barclays assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information used by Barclays without any independent verification of such information (and had not assumed responsibility or liability for any independent verification of such information). Barclays also relied upon the assurances of the management of Allegiant that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the Allegiant management forecasts, upon the advice and at the direction of the management of Allegiant, Barclays assumed that such projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Allegiant as to the future financial performance of Allegiant on a standalone basis and that Allegiant, on a standalone basis, would perform substantially in accordance with such projections and relied on the Allegiant management forecasts in arriving at its opinion. With respect to the December Sun Country management forecasts, upon the advice and at the direction of Allegiant, Barclays assumed that such projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Allegiant as to the future financial performance of Sun Country on a standalone basis and that Sun Country, on a standalone basis, would perform substantially in accordance with such projections and relied on the December Sun Country management forecasts in arriving at its opinion. With respect to the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts, upon the advice and at the direction of Allegiant, Barclays assumed that such projections were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Allegiant as to the future financial performance of Allegiant pro forma for the consummation of the proposed transactions and that Allegiant following the consummation of the proposed transactions would perform substantially in accordance with such projections and relied on the Allegiant pro forma illustrative forecasts in arriving at its opinion. Furthermore, upon the advice and at the direction of Allegiant, Barclays assumed that the amounts and timing of the management estimated synergies were reasonable and that the management estimated synergies would be realized in accordance with such estimates. Barclays assumed no responsibility for and expressed no view as to any such projections or estimates (including the management estimated synergies) or the assumptions on which they were based. In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not conduct a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of Allegiant or Sun Country and did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of Allegiant. Barclays' opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, January 11, 2026. Barclays assumed no responsibility for updating or revising its opinion based on events or circumstances that may have occurred after January 11, 2026. Barclays expressed no opinion as to the prices as to which shares of Allegiant common stock or Sun Country common stock would trade following the announcement or consummation the mergers.

95<br>

------

Barclays assumed the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and all the agreements related thereto. Barclays also assumed, upon the advice of Allegiant, that all material governmental, regulatory and third party approvals, consents and releases for the merger would be obtained within the constraints contemplated by the merger agreement and that the proposed transactions will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof. Barclays did not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the proposed transactions, nor did Barclays' opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which Barclays understood Allegiant had obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals.

In connection with rendering its opinion, Barclays performed certain financial, comparative and other analyses as summarized below. In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not ascribe a specific range of values to the shares of Allegiant common stock but rather made its determination as to fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration to be paid by Allegiant in the first merger on the basis of various financial and comparative analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial and comparative analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description.

In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not attribute any particular weight to any single analysis or factor considered by it but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor relative to all other analyses and factors performed and considered by it and in the context of the circumstances of the particular transactions. Accordingly, Barclays believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole, as considering any portion of such analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion.

#### Summary of Material Financial Analyses
The following is a summary of the material financial analyses used by Barclays in preparing its opinion to the Allegiant board. The summary of Barclays' analyses and reviews provided below is not a complete description of the analyses and reviews underlying Barclays' opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of analysis and review and the application of those methods to particular circumstances, and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to summary description.

For the purposes of its analyses and reviews, Barclays made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Allegiant, Sun Country, Barclays or any other parties to the proposed transactions. No company, business or transaction considered in Barclays' analyses and reviews is identical to Allegiant, Sun Country, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 or the proposed transactions, and an evaluation of the results of those analyses and reviews is not entirely mathematical. Rather, the analyses and reviews involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies, businesses or transactions considered in Barclays' analyses and reviews. None of Allegiant, Sun Country, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Barclays or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses and reviews and the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis or review are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth below. In addition, analyses relating to the value of companies, businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which the companies, businesses or securities may actually be sold. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the results derived from, Barclays' analyses and reviews are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

The summary of the financial analyses and reviews provided below includes information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses and reviews used by Barclays, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses and reviews. Considering the data in the tables below without considering the full description of the analyses and reviews, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses and reviews, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Barclays' analyses and reviews.

*Selected Comparable Company Analysis* 

In order to assess how the public market values shares of similar publicly traded companies and to provide a range of relative implied equity values per share of Allegiant and per share of Sun Country by reference to those companies, which could then be used to calculate implied exchange ratio ranges, Barclays reviewed and compared specific

96<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
financial and operating data relating to Allegiant and Sun Country, respectively, with selected companies that Barclays, based on its experience in the airline industry, deemed comparable to Allegiant and Sun Country, respectively. The selected comparable companies with respect to Allegiant and Sun Country were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allegiant

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Frontier Group Holdings, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• JetBlue Airways Corporation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Southwest Airlines Co.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sun Country

Barclays calculated and compared various financial multiples and ratios of Allegiant, Sun Country and the selected comparable companies. As part of its selected comparable company analysis, Barclays calculated and analyzed each selected company's ratio of its current stock price to its historical and projected earnings per share (commonly referred to as a price earnings ratio, or P/E), and each company's adjusted enterprise value to projected adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent, which we refer to as EBITDAR. The enterprise value of each company was obtained by adding its short and long-term debt, finance leases and operating leases, to the sum of the market value of its common equity, the value of any preferred stock (at liquidation value) and the book value of any minority interest, and subtracting its cash and cash equivalents. All of these calculations were performed, and based on publicly available financial data (including FactSet) and closing prices, as of January 9, 2026, the last trading date prior to the delivery of Barclays' opinion. The results of this selected comparable company analysis are summarized below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **High**  | **Low**  |
| **Adj. Enterprise Value / 2026E EBITDAR** | 10.8x | 5.2x  |
| **Adj. Enterprise Value / 2027E EBITDAR** | &nbsp;&nbsp;7.2x | 4.5x  |
| **Price / 2026E EPS**  | 16.0x | 9.4x  |
| **Price / 2027E EPS**  | 11.8x | 6.9x |

---

Barclays selected the comparable companies listed above because their businesses and operating profiles are reasonably similar to that of Allegiant or Sun Country, as applicable. However, because of the inherent differences between the business, operations, capital structure and prospects of Allegiant or Sun Country, as applicable, and those of the selected comparable companies, Barclays believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected comparable company analysis. Accordingly, Barclays also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of Allegiant or Sun Country, as applicable, and the selected comparable companies that could affect the public trading values of each in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis. These qualitative judgments related primarily to the differing sizes, growth prospects, profitability levels, capital structures and degree of operational risk between Allegiant or Sun Country, as applicable, and the companies included in the selected company analysis.

<u>Allegiant Standalone Valuation (Adj. EV / EBITDAR)</u>

Based upon the analysis described above and its professional judgment, Barclays selected an adjusted enterprise value / 2026E EBITDAR multiple range of 5.0x to 6.0x and an adjusted enterprise value / 2027E EBITDAR multiple range of 4.5 to 5.5x for Allegiant, and applied such range to the Allegiant management forecasts to calculate a range of implied prices per share of Allegiant by subtracting estimated adjusted net debt as of September 30, 2025 from the estimated adjusted enterprise value and dividing such amount by the fully diluted number of shares of Allegiant common stock as provided by management of Allegiant. These calculations resulted in a range of implied prices per share of $85 to $115 based on 2026E EBITDAR and $107 to $145 based on 2027E EBITDAR.

<u>Sun Country Standalone Valuation (Adj. EV / EBITDAR)</u>

Based upon the analysis described above and its professional judgment, Barclays selected an adjusted enterprise value / 2026E EBITDAR multiple range of 5.0x to 6.0x and an adjusted enterprise value / 2027E EBITDAR multiple range of 4.5 to 5.5x for Sun Country, and applied such range to the Sun Country management forecasts to calculate a range of implied prices per share of Sun Country by subtracting estimated adjusted net debt as of September 30, 2025 from the

97<br>

------

estimated adjusted enterprise value and dividing such amount by the fully diluted number of shares of Sun Country common stock as provided by management of Sun Country and approved for Barclays' use by the management of Allegiant. These calculations resulted in a range of implied prices per share of $12 to $16 based on 2026E EBITDAR and $15 to $20 based on 2027E EBITDAR.

<u>Allegiant Standalone Valuation (Price / Earnings)</u>

Based upon the analysis described above and its professional judgment, Barclays selected a Price / 2026E EPS multiple range of 9.0x to 14.0x and a Price / 2027E EPS multiple range of 6.0x to 10.0x for Allegiant, and applied such range to the Allegiant management forecasts to calculate a range of implied prices per share of Allegiant. These calculations resulted in a range of implied prices per share of $79 to $123 based on 2026E EPS and $84 to $139 based on 2027E EPS.

<u>Sun Country Standalone Valuation (Price / Earnings)</u>

Based upon the analysis described above and its professional judgment, Barclays selected a Price / 2026E EPS multiple range of 9.0x to 14.0x and a Price / 2027E EPS multiple range of 6.0x to 10.0x for Sun Country, and applied such range to the December Sun Country management forecasts to calculate a range of implied prices per share of Sun Country. These calculations resulted in a range of implied prices per share of $11 to $16 based on 2026E EPS and $13 to $21 based on 2027E EPS.

*Discounted Cash Flow Analysis* 

In order to estimate the present value of Allegiant common stock and Sun Country common stock, Barclays performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Allegiant and Sun Country. A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of an asset by calculating the "present value" of estimated future cash flows of the asset. "Present value" refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors.

<u>Allegiant Standalone Valuation</u>

To calculate the estimated enterprise value of Allegiant as of September 30, 2025 using the discounted cash flow method, Barclays added (i) Allegiant's projected unlevered free cash flows for the three-month period from October 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 and for the fiscal years 2026 through 2030, in each case based on the Allegiant management forecasts, (ii) the "terminal value" of Allegiant as of December 31, 2030, and (iii) the tax savings from estimated federal net operating losses of Allegiant, which we refer to as the Allegiant NOLs, each discounted to their present value using a range of selected discount rates. The unlevered free cash flows were calculated by taking the tax-affected earnings before interest, tax expense, depreciation and amortization and subtracting capital expenditures and adjusting for changes in working capital. The residual value of Allegiant at the end of the forecast period, or "terminal value," was estimated by selecting a range of terminal value multiples based on EBITDAR for the fiscal year 2030 of 5.5x to 6.5x, which was derived by analyzing the results from the selected comparable company analysis and based on Barclays' professional judgment and experience, taking into account, among other things, the trends in the economy generally and in the industries and sectors in which Allegiant operates, and applying such range to the management projections. The present value of the Allegiant NOLs was calculated based on projected utilization and a tax rate of 23%, in each case provided by the management of Allegiant. The range of discount rates of 10.0% to 11.0% was selected based on an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of Allegiant and the comparable companies.

Barclays then calculated a range of implied prices per share of Allegiant by subtracting estimated net debt as of September 30, 2025 from the estimated enterprise value using the discounted cash flow method and dividing such amount by the fully diluted number of shares of Allegiant common stock as provided by management of Allegiant. These calculations resulted in a range of implied prices per share of $68 to $106.

<u>Sun Country Standalone Valuation</u>

To calculate the estimated enterprise value of Sun Country as of September 30, 2025 using the discounted cash flow method, Barclays added (i) Sun Country's projected unlevered free cash flows for the three-month period from October 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 and for the fiscal years 2026 through 2029, in each case based on the December Sun Country management forecasts, (ii) the "terminal value" of Sun Country as of December 31, 2029, and (iii) the tax savings from estimated federal net operating losses of Sun Country, which we refer to as the Sun Country

98<br>

------

NOLs, minus the adjustment applicable under the TRA, each discounted to their present value using a range of selected discount rates. The unlevered free cash flows were calculated by taking the tax-affected earnings before interest, tax expense, depreciation and amortization and subtracting capital expenditures and adjusting for changes in working capital. The residual value of Sun Country at the end of the forecast period, or "terminal value," was estimated by selecting a range of terminal value multiples based on EBITDAR for the fiscal year 2029 of 5.5x to 6.5x, which was derived by analyzing the results from the selected comparable company analysis and based on Barclays' professional judgment and experience, taking into account, among other things, the trends in the economy generally and in the industries and sectors in which Sun Country operates, and applying such range to the management projections. The present value of the Sun Country NOLs was calculated based on projected utilization and a tax rate of 23%, in each case provided by the management of Sun Country and approved for Barclays' use by the management of Allegiant and the Allegiant board. The range of discount rates of 11.0% to 12.0% was selected based on an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of Sun Country and the comparable companies.

Barclays then calculated a range of implied prices per share of Sun Country by subtracting estimated net debt as of September 30, 2025 from the estimated enterprise value using the discounted cash flow method and dividing such amount by the fully diluted number of shares of Sun Country common stock as provided by management of Sun Country and approved for Barclays' use by management of Allegiant. These calculations resulted in a range of implied prices per share of $22 to $26.

<u>Sun Country Valuation Including the Management Estimated Synergies</u>

In order to estimate the value of the management estimated synergies, Barclays used the discounted cash flow method to discount the tax affected management estimated synergies to their present value using the same assumptions and range of selected discount rates applied to the standalone valuations above. These calculations resulted in a range of implied present values for the management estimated synergies of $9 to $11 per share of Sun Country. When combined with the prices per share implied by the standalone valuation of Sun Country, this results in an implied price per share of Sun Country (including the management estimated synergies) of $31 to 37.

*Selected Precedent Transaction Analysis* 

Barclays reviewed and compared the purchase prices and financial multiples paid in selected other transactions that Barclays, based on its experience with airline merger and acquisition transactions, deemed relevant. Barclays chose such transactions based on, among other things, the similarity of the applicable target companies in the transactions to Allegiant or Sun Country, as applicable, with respect to the size, mix, margins and other characteristics of their businesses.

The reasons for and the circumstances surrounding each of the selected precedent transactions analyzed were diverse and there are inherent differences in the business, operations, financial conditions and prospects of Allegiant and the companies included in the selected precedent transaction analysis. Accordingly, Barclays believed that a purely quantitative selected precedent transaction analysis would not be particularly meaningful in the context of considering the proposed transactions. Barclays therefore made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the characteristics of the selected precedent transactions and the proposed transactions which would affect the acquisition values of the selected target companies and Allegiant. Based upon these judgments, Barclays selected a range of 7.0x to 8.0x multiples of the target company's last twelve month adjusted EBITDAR. Barclays then applied such range of multiples to Sun Country's last twelve months adjusted EBITDAR of $215 million as of September 30, 2025. This analysis indicated the approximate per share equity value range of $20 to $23 for Sun Country on a stand-alone basis. Barclays then applied such range of multiples to Allegiant's last twelve months adjusted EBITDAR of $443 million as of September 30, 2025. This analysis indicated the approximate per share equity value range of $104 to $129 for Allegiant on a stand-alone basis. Estimated financial data of the selected transactions were based on publicly available information at the time of announcement of the relevant transaction. Estimated financial data of Allegiant and Sun Country were based on the Allegiant management forecasts and Sun Country management forecasts, respectively.

*Implied Exchange Ratio Analysis* 

Using the ranges of implied prices per share of Allegiant and Sun Country resulting from the foregoing selected comparable company, discounted cash flow and selected precedent transaction analyses, Barclays calculated ranges of implied exchange ratios of Sun Country common stock into Allegiant common stock, after taking into account the cash component of the merger consideration of $4.10 per share. The following summarizes the result of these calculations, compared to the 0.1557x exchange ratio to be paid by Allegiant in the first merger:

#### Other Factors
Barclays also reviewed and considered other factors, which were not considered part of its financial analyses in connection with rendering its advice, but were references for informational purposes, including, among other things, the Historical Trading Price Analysis and Broker Price Target Analysis described below.

#### General
Barclays is an internationally recognized investment banking firm and, as part of its investment banking activities, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, investments for passive and control purposes, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. The Allegiant board selected Barclays because of its familiarity with Allegiant and its qualifications, reputation and experience in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions generally, as well as substantial experience in transactions comparable to the proposed transactions.

Barclays is acting as financial advisor to Allegiant in connection with the proposed transactions. As compensation for its services in connection with the proposed transactions, Allegiant paid Barclays a fee of $3.0 million upon the delivery of Barclays' opinion, which we refer to as the "Opinion Fee." The Opinion Fee was not contingent upon the conclusion of Barclays' opinion or the consummation of the proposed transactions. Additional compensation of $20.0 million will be payable on completion of the proposed transactions against which the amounts paid for the opinion will be credited. In addition, Allegiant has agreed to reimburse Barclays for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the proposed transactions and to indemnify Barclays for certain liabilities that may arise out of its engagement by Allegiant and the rendering of Barclays' opinion. Barclays has performed various investment banking and financial services for Allegiant and Sun Country in the past, and expects to perform such services in the future, and has received, and expects to receive, customary fees for such services. Specifically, in the past two years, Barclays has performed the following investment banking and financial services: (a) for Allegiant, (i) in July 2025, acted as financial advisor to Allegiant in connection with its sale of Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor and (ii) an affiliate of Barclays Capital Inc. is currently a lender to Allegiant, and (b) for Sun Country (i) in February 2025, acted as underwriter on a registered secondary offering of shares of Sun Country and (ii) in November 2024, acted as agent

for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the airline industry and in other industries; and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as it deemed appropriate.

For purposes of rendering its opinion, Goldman Sachs, with Sun Country's consent, relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by, it, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification thereof. In that regard, Goldman Sachs assumed with Sun Country's consent that the Sun Country forecasts, the synergies and the Sun Country NOL forecasts were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Sun Country. Goldman Sachs did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or other off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of Sun Country or Allegiant or any of their respective subsidiaries and it was not furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Goldman Sachs assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the proposed transactions will be obtained without any adverse effect on Sun Country or Allegiant or on the expected benefits of the proposed transactions in any way meaningful to its analysis. Goldman Sachs also assumed that the proposed transactions will be consummated on the terms set forth in the merger agreement, without the waiver or modification of any term or condition the effect of which would be in any way meaningful to its analysis.

Goldman Sachs' opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Sun Country to engage in the proposed transactions or the relative merits of the proposed transactions as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to Sun Country; nor does it address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. Goldman Sachs' opinion addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view, as of the date of the opinion, to the holders (other than Allegiant and its affiliates) of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock of the merger consideration to be paid to such holders pursuant to the merger agreement. Goldman Sachs' opinion does not express any view on, and does not address, any other term or aspect of the merger agreement, the TRA or the proposed transactions or any term or aspect of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by the merger agreement or the TRA or entered into or amended in connection with the proposed transactions, including the fairness of the proposed transactions to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of Sun Country; nor as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors or employees of Sun Country, or class of such persons in connection with the proposed transactions, whether relative to the merger consideration to be paid to the holders (other than Allegiant and its affiliates) of shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the merger agreement or otherwise. Goldman Sachs' opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Goldman Sachs as of, the date of its opinion and Goldman Sachs assumes no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date of its opinion. In addition, Goldman Sachs does not express any opinion as to the prices at which shares of Allegiant common stock or Sun Country common stock will trade at any time, as to the potential effects of volatility in the credit, financial and stock markets on Sun Country, Allegiant or the proposed transactions, or as to the impact of the proposed transactions on the solvency or viability of Sun Country or Allegiant or the ability of Sun Country or Allegiant to pay their respective obligations when they come due. Goldman Sachs' opinion was approved by a fairness committee of Goldman Sachs.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses delivered by Goldman Sachs to the Sun Country board in connection with rendering the opinion described above. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Goldman Sachs, nor does the order of analyses described represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Goldman Sachs. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables must be read together with the full text of each summary and are alone not a complete description of Goldman Sachs' financial analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before January 9, 2026, the last trading day before the public announcement of the proposed transactions, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

Goldman Sachs used the exchange ratio of 0.1557 shares of Allegiant common stock per share of Sun Country common stock and $4.10 per share of Sun Country common stock to calculate, for purposes of its analyses, an implied value for the merger consideration to be paid to the holders (other than Allegiant and its affiliates) of shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the merger agreement. Goldman Sachs calculated, for purposes of its analyses, an implied value for the merger consideration of $18.89 by adding (i) $14.79, which was obtained by multiplying the per-share

102<br>

stock consideration of 0.1557 shares of Allegiant common stock by $94.97, which represented the closing price per share of Allegiant common stock on January 9, 2026, the last trading day before the public announcement of the proposed transactions, and (ii) the per-share cash consideration of $4.10.

#### Historical Stock Trading Analysis
Goldman Sachs analyzed the consideration to be paid to holders of Sun Country common stock (other than Allegiant and its affiliates) pursuant to the merger agreement in relation to the (i) closing price per share of Sun Country common stock on January 9, 2026, (ii) the VWAP per share of Sun Country common stock for the preceding 30-day period ended January 9, 2026, (iii) the VWAP per share of Sun Country common stock for the preceding 60-day period ended January 9, 2026, (iv) the VWAP per share of Sun Country common stock for the preceding 90-day period ended January 9, 2026, (v) the high market price of Sun Country common stock for the preceding 52-week period ended January 9, 2026 and (vi) the median analyst price target for Sun Country common stock on January 9, 2026. This analysis implied a value of $18.89 to be received per share of Sun Country common stock, calculated as the sum of (i) the per-share cash consideration of $4.10, plus (ii) the exchange ratio of 0.1557 shares of Allegiant common stock per share of Sun Country common stock, multiplied by $94.97, the closing price per share of Allegiant common stock on January 9, 2026.

This analysis indicated that the price per share to be paid to the holders of shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the merger agreement represented:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a premium of 20% based on the closing price of $15.77 per share of Sun Country common stock on January 9, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a premium of 29% based on the VWAP per share of Sun Country common stock for the preceding 30-day period ended January 9, 2026 of $14.63;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a premium of 43% based on the VWAP per share of Sun Country common stock for the preceding 60-day period ended January 9, 2026 of $13.18;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a premium of 47% based on the VWAP per share of Sun Country common stock for the preceding 90-day period ended January 9, 2026 of $12.87;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a premium of 4% based on the high market price of $18.17 of Sun Country common stock for the preceding 52-week period ended January 9, 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a discount of 1% based on the median analyst price target of $19.00 per share of Sun Country common stock on January 9, 2026.

#### Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
*Sun Country Standalone* 

Using the Sun Country forecasts and the Sun Country NOL forecasts, Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis on Sun Country to derive a range of illustrative present values per share of Sun Country common stock. Using the mid-year convention for discounting cash flows and discount rates ranging from 9.50% to 10.50%, reflecting estimates of Sun Country's weighted average cost of capital, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of September 30, 2025 (i) estimates of unlevered free cash flow for Sun Country for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2029 as reflected in the Sun Country forecasts and (ii) a range of illustrative terminal values for Sun Country, which were calculated by applying perpetuity growth rates ranging from 1.0% to 2.0%, to a terminal year estimate of the unlevered free cash flow to be generated by Sun Country, as reflected in the Sun Country forecasts (which analysis implied last twelve month (LTM) enterprise value (EV), divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring or rent costs (EBITDAR) exit multiples ranging from 4.2x to 5.4x). In addition, using a discount rate of 10.0%, reflecting the midpoint of the estimates of Sun Country's weighted average cost of capital, as described above, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of September 30, 2025 the estimated benefits of Sun Country's net operating losses (NOLs), for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2033, as reflected in the Sun Country forecasts and the Sun Country NOL forecasts. The range of perpetuity growth rates was estimated by Goldman Sachs utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account the Sun Country forecasts and market expectations regarding long-term real growth of gross domestic product and inflation. Goldman Sachs derived such discount rates by application of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which we refer to as the CAPM, and which requires certain company-specific inputs, including Sun Country's target capital structure

103<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
weightings, the cost of long-term debt, after-tax yield on permanent excess cash, if any, future applicable marginal cash tax rate and a beta for Sun Country, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally.

Goldman Sachs derived ranges of illustrative enterprise values for Sun Country by adding the ranges of present values it derived above. Goldman Sachs then subtracted from the range of illustrative enterprise values it derived for Sun Country the amount of Sun Country's total debt and debt-like items and added the amount of Sun Country's cash and cash equivalents, in each case, as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Sun Country, to derive a range of illustrative equity values for Sun Country. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative equity values it derived by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Sun Country, as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Sun Country, using the treasury stock method, to derive a range of illustrative present values per share ranging from $18.70 to $22.90.

*Pro Forma Combined Company* 

Using the Sun Country forecasts, the synergies and the Sun Country NOL forecasts, Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis on the pro forma combined company. Using the mid-year convention for discounting cash flows and discount rates ranging from 9.50% to 10.50%, reflecting estimates of the pro forma combined company's weighted average cost of capital, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of September 30, 2025 (i) estimates of unlevered free cash flow for the pro forma combined company for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2029 as reflected in the Sun Country forecasts and taking into account the synergies and (ii) a range of illustrative terminal values for the pro forma combined company, which were calculated by applying perpetuity growth rates ranging from 1.0% to 2.0%, to a terminal year estimate of the unlevered free cash flow to be generated by the pro forma combined company, as reflected in the Sun Country forecasts and taking into account the synergies (which analysis implied LTM EV/EBITDAR exit multiples ranging from 6.2x to 7.9x). In addition, using a discount rate of 10.0%, reflecting the midpoint of the estimates of the pro forma combined company's weighted average cost of capital, as described above, Goldman Sachs discounted to present value as of September 30, 2025 the estimated benefits of the pro forma combined company's NOLs for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2033, as reflected in the Sun Country forecasts and the Sun Country NOL forecasts. The range of perpetuity growth rates was estimated by Goldman Sachs utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account the Sun Country forecasts and market expectations regarding long-term real growth of gross domestic product and inflation. Goldman Sachs derived such discount rates by application of the CAPM, which requires certain company-specific inputs, including the pro forma combined company's target capital structure weightings, the cost of long-term debt, after-tax yield on permanent excess cash, if any, future applicable marginal cash tax rate and a beta for pro forma combined company, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally.

Goldman Sachs derived ranges of illustrative enterprise values for the pro forma combined company by adding the ranges of present values it derived above. Goldman Sachs then subtracted from the range of illustrative enterprise values it derived for the pro forma combined company the amount of the pro forma combined company's total debt and debt-like items and added the amount of the pro forma combined company's cash and cash equivalents, in each case, as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Sun Country, to derive a range of illustrative equity values for the pro forma combined company. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative equity values it derived by the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of the pro forma combined company, as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Sun Country, using the treasury stock method. Goldman Sachs then multiplied the range of illustrative equity values per share of Allegiant common stock pro forma for the proposed transactions it derived by the exchange ratio, and added the result to the $4.10 per share of Sun Country common stock to be paid in cash to the holders (other than Allegiant and its affiliates) of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the merger agreement. This analysis resulted in a range of illustrative present values for the consideration to be paid per share of Sun Country common stock of $21.70 to $30.75.

#### Illustrative Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis
*Sun Country Standalone* 

Using the Sun Country forecasts, Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative analysis of the implied present value of an illustrative future value per share of Sun Country common stock. For this analysis, Goldman Sachs first calculated the implied enterprise value for Sun Country as of December 31 for each of the fiscal years 2025 through 2027, by applying a multiple range of illustrative EV to next twelve month EBITDAR (NTM EBITDAR), which ratio we refer to as EV/NTM EBITDAR, of 4.00x to 5.50x to estimates of Sun Country's adjusted NTM EBITDAR for each of the fiscal

104<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
years 2025 through 2027. This illustrative range of EV/NTM EBITDAR multiple estimates was derived by Goldman Sachs utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account current and historical EV/NTM EBITDAR multiples for Sun Country.

Goldman Sachs then subtracted the amount of Sun Country's total debt and debt-like items and added the amount of Sun Country's cash and cash equivalents for each of the fiscal years 2025 to 2027, each as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Sun Country, from the respective implied enterprise values in order to derive a range of illustrative equity values as of December 31 for Sun Country for each of the fiscal years 2025 to 2027. Goldman Sachs then divided these implied equity values by the projected year-end number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock for each of fiscal years 2025 to 2027, calculated using information provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Sun Country, to derive a range of implied future values per share of Sun Country common stock (excluding dividends). Goldman Sachs then discounted these implied future equity values per share of Sun Country common stock to September 30, 2025, using an illustrative discount rate of 11.75%, reflecting an estimate of Sun Country's cost of equity. Goldman Sachs derived such discount rate by application of the CAPM, which requires certain company-specific inputs, including a beta for the company, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. This analysis resulted in a range of implied present values of $8.50 to $20.75 per share of Sun Country common stock.

*Pro Forma Combined Company* 

Using the Sun Country forecasts and the synergies, Goldman Sachs performed an illustrative analysis of the implied present value of an illustrative future value per share of Sun Country common stock based on a theoretical value per share of common stock of the pro forma combined company. For this analysis, Goldman Sachs first calculated the implied enterprise value for the pro forma combined company as of December 31 for each of the fiscal years 2025 through 2027, by applying a multiple range of illustrative EV/NTM EBITDAR of 4.00x to 5.50x to estimates of the pro forma combined company's adjusted NTM EBITDAR for each of the fiscal years 2025 through 2027. This illustrative range of EV/NTM EBITDAR multiple estimates was derived by Goldman Sachs utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account current and historical EV/NTM EBITDAR multiples for Sun Country and Allegiant.

Goldman Sachs then subtracted the amount of the pro forma combined company's total debt and debt-like items and added the amount of the pro forma combined company's cash and cash equivalents for each of the fiscal years 2025 to 2027, each as provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Sun Country, from the respective implied enterprise values in order to derive a range of illustrative equity values as of December 31 for the pro forma combined company for each of the fiscal years 2025 to 2027. Goldman Sachs then divided these implied equity values by the projected year-end number of fully diluted outstanding shares of common stock of the pro forma combined company for each of fiscal years 2025 to 2027, calculated using information provided by and approved for Goldman Sachs' use by the management of Sun Country, to derive a range of implied future values per share of common stock of the pro forma combined company (excluding dividends). Goldman Sachs then discounted these implied future equity values per share of common stock of the pro forma combined company to September 30, 2025, using an illustrative discount rate of 13.00%, reflecting an estimate of the pro forma combined company's cost of equity. Goldman Sachs derived such discount rate by application of the CAPM, which requires certain company-specific inputs, including a beta for the company, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. Goldman Sachs then multiplied the range of illustrative equity values of Allegiant common stock pro forma for the proposed transactions it derived by the exchange ratio and added the result to the $4.10 per share of Sun Country common stock to be paid in cash to the holders (other than Allegiant and its affiliates) of Sun Country common stock pursuant to the merger agreement. This analysis resulted in a range of implied present values for the consideration to be paid per share of Sun Country common stock of $9.60 to $20.40.

#### Premia Paid Analysis
*Precedent U.S. Airline Transactions* 

Goldman Sachs reviewed and analyzed, using publicly available information, the acquisition premia for acquisition transactions announced since August 2007 involving a public company in the airline industry based in the United States as the target where the disclosed enterprise values for the transactions were between $0.7 billion and $9.8 billion. For the entire period, using publicly available information, Goldman Sachs calculated the median, 25th percentile and 75th percentile premia of the price paid in the transactions relative to the target's last undisturbed closing stock price prior to announcement of the transactions. This analysis indicated a median premium of 78% across the period. This

105<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
analysis also indicated a 25th percentile premium of 54% and 75th percentile premium of 93% across the period. Using this analysis, Goldman Sachs applied a reference range of illustrative premia of 54% to 93% to the undisturbed closing price per share of Sun Country common stock of $15.77 as of January 9, 2026 and calculated a range of implied equity values per share of Sun Country common stock of $24.30 to $30.45.

*Precedent Cash-and-Stock Transactions* 

Goldman Sachs reviewed and analyzed, using publicly available information, the acquisition premia for cash-and-stock acquisition transactions announced from the second quarter of 2015 through the third quarter of 2025 involving a public company based in the United States as the target that have closed where the disclosed enterprise values for the transactions were above $500 million and have a percentage of stock consideration between 20% and 80% of the total consideration. This analysis excluded transactions in sub-industries including REITs, Alternative Power Generation, Coil, Oil & Gas, Financial Institutions and Electric Utilities and Minerals. For the entire period, using publicly available information, Goldman Sachs calculated the median, 25th percentile and 75th percentile premia of the price paid in the transactions relative to the target's last undisturbed closing stock price prior to announcement of the transactions. This analysis indicated a median premium of 29% across the period. This analysis also indicated a 25th percentile premium of 19% and 75th percentile premium of 43% across the period. Using this analysis, Goldman Sachs applied a reference range of illustrative premia of 19% to 43% to the undisturbed closing price per share of Sun Country common stock of $15.77 as of January 9, 2026 and calculated a range of implied equity values per share of Sun Country common stock of $18.75 to $22.55.

#### General
The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Goldman Sachs' opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Goldman Sachs considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Goldman Sachs made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to Sun Country or Allegiant or the proposed transactions.

Goldman Sachs prepared these analyses for purposes of Goldman Sachs' providing its opinion to the Sun Country board as to the fairness from a financial point of view, as of the date of the opinion, to the holders (other than Allegiant and its affiliates) of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock of the merger consideration to be paid to such holders pursuant to the merger agreement. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of Sun Country, Allegiant, Goldman Sachs or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast.

The merger consideration was determined through arm's-length negotiations between Sun Country and Allegiant and was approved by the Sun Country board. Goldman Sachs provided advice to Sun Country during these negotiations. Goldman Sachs did not, however, recommend any specific amount of consideration to Sun Country or its board of directors or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the proposed transactions.

As described above, Goldman Sachs' opinion to the Sun Country board was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Sun Country board in making its determination to approve the merger agreement. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Goldman Sachs in connection with the fairness opinion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of Goldman Sachs attached as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Sun Country board selected Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor because it is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the proposed transactions. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated December 7, 2025, Sun Country engaged Goldman Sachs to act as its financial advisor in connection with the proposed transactions. The engagement letter between Sun Country and Goldman Sachs provides for a transaction fee that is estimated, based on the information available as of the date of announcement, at approximately $22.6 million, $2 million of which became payable at announcement of the proposed transactions, and the remainder of which is contingent upon consummation of the proposed transactions. In addition, Sun Country has agreed to reimburse Goldman Sachs for certain of its expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, and to indemnify Goldman Sachs and related persons against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.

#### Governance of Allegiant After the Proposed Transactions
Immediately following the second effective time, the Allegiant board will take all actions necessary (i) to increase the size of the Allegiant board, as of immediately after the second effective time, by three members (including by amending the Allegiant bylaws to permit such increase) and (ii) to cause three individuals selected by Sun Country in writing no less than 15 business days prior to the closing, one of which will be Jude Bricker and the other two of which will be directors serving on the Sun Country board immediately prior to the first effective time, to be appointed as members of the Allegiant board. The Sun Country director nominees (other than Jude Bricker) must, among other things, be (i) independent of the combined company under the applicable rules of Nasdaq, as determined by the Allegiant board and its nominating and governance committee, acting reasonably and in good faith, and (ii) reasonably acceptable to the nominating and governance committee of the Allegiant board.

#### Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions

#### Interests of Allegiant Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions
Allegiant stockholders should be aware that Allegiant's directors and executive officers have interests in the proposed transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Allegiant stockholders generally. The Allegiant board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the merger agreement and making its recommendation that the Allegiant stockholders vote **"FOR"** the share issuance proposal. See "*The Proposed Transactions-Allegiant Reasons for the Proposed Transactions; Recommendation of the Allegiant Board of Directors*" beginning on page [77](#tTP3).

These interests include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the members of the Allegiant board will remain on the Allegiant board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., the Chairman of the Allegiant board will remain as the Chairman of the Allegiant board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the executive officers of Allegiant will remain the executive officers of the combined company.

None of Allegiant's directors or executive officers are party to or participates in any plan, program, or arrangement that provides such director or executive officer with any kind of compensation that is based on or otherwise related to the closing.

The information set forth above in this section is intended to comply with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act as it relates to the disclosure of certain information about compensation for Allegiant's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the closing.

#### Interests of Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions
In considering the recommendation of the Sun Country board to vote to approve the merger agreement proposal, holders of Sun Country common stock should be aware that the directors and executive officers of Sun Country may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of holders of Sun Country common stock generally and that may create potential conflicts of interest. The Sun Country board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and approving the merger agreement, and in recommending to holders of Sun Country common stock that they vote to approve the merger agreement proposal.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
These interests are described in more detail below, and certain of them are quantified in the narrative below, including compensation that may become payable in connection with the mergers to Sun Country's named executive officers (which is the subject of a non-binding, advisory vote of Sun Country shareholders). For more information, please *see* "*Sun Country Proposals—Proposal 2: The Merger-Related Compensation Proposal*" beginning on page [153](#SCP2). The mergers will constitute a "change in control" for purposes of the Sun Country executive compensation plans and agreements described below.

In accordance with SEC rules, this disclosure covers all individuals who served as executive officers and directors of Sun Country at any time since January 1, 2025.

Accordingly, for purposes of this disclosure, Sun Country's executive officers are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Jude Bricker – *President and Chief Executive Officer* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• D. Torque Zubeck – *SVP, Chief Financial Officer* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stephen Coley – *SVP, Chief Operating Officer* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Erin Rose Neale – *SVP, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Colton M. Snow – *SVP, Chief Commercial Officer* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dave Davis – *Former President and Chief Financial Officer* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Bill Trousdale – *Former SVP and Interim Chief Financial Officer* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gregory Mays – *Former EVP, Chief Operating Officer* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Grant Whitney – *Former SVP and Chief Revenue Officer* 

For purposes of this disclosure, Sun Country's non-employee directors are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Marion Blakey

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Thomas C. Kennedy

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Patrick O'Keeffe

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gail Peterson

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Kerry Philipovitch

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wendy Schoppert

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Jennifer Vogel

*Certain Assumptions* 

Except as otherwise specifically noted, for purposes of quantifying the potential payments and benefits described in this section, the following assumptions were used:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the closing will occur on February 17, 2026 (which is the assumed date of the closing solely for purposes of the disclosure in this section);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of Sun Country's executive officers will experience a termination without "cause" or for "good reason" under his or her employment agreement/employment letter and equity award agreements upon closing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the relevant price per share of Sun Country common stock is $17.39 (the average closing market price of Sun Country common stock over the first five (5) business days following the public announcement of the merger on January 11, 2026); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no additional equity awards will be made to executive officers following the date hereof.

The amounts indicated below are estimates based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the assumptions described above, and do not reflect certain compensation actions that may occur before the closing.

109<br>

*Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards* 

<u>Sun Country Stock Options</u>

Except as described below, upon the closing and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each outstanding Sun Country option that is outstanding immediately prior to the closing will be automatically converted into an option to purchase (with the exercise price adjusted in accordance with the merger agreement), with substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to such Sun Country option immediately prior to the closing (including, without limitation, any "double trigger" vesting provisions), a number of shares of Allegiant common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the number of shares of Sun Country common stock subject to such Sun Country option, multiplied by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the merger consideration closing value by the measurement price.

If such Sun Country option is held by a former employee or a non-employee director or other service provider, in lieu of the foregoing, upon the closing and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each such Sun Country option will become fully vested (to the extent not yet vested) and converted into the right to receive for each share of Sun Country common stock subject to such Sun Country option, the same form of consideration payable to holders of Sun Country common stock, net of the underlying exercise price per share. As of the date hereof, all Sun Country options held by our executive officers are fully vested and no Sun Country non-employee director holds Sun Country options.

<u>Sun Country RSUs</u>

Except as described below, upon the closing and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each outstanding Sun Country RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the closing will be automatically converted into an Allegiant restricted stock unit award, with substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to such Sun Country RSU immediately prior to the closing (including, without limitation, any "double trigger" vesting provisions). Such number of shares of Allegiant common stock underlying the converted award will be determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Sun Country common stock underlying the corresponding Sun Country RSU as of immediately prior to the closing and (B) the merger consideration closing value, by (ii) the measurement price, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

If such Sun Country RSU is held by a former employee or a non-employee director or other service provider, in lieu of the foregoing, upon the closing and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each such Sun Country RSU will become fully vested (to the extent not yet vested) and converted into the right to receive for each share of Sun Country common stock subject to such Sun Country RSU, the same form of consideration payable to holders of Sun Country common stock.

Based on the assumptions described above under "*—Certain Assumptions*", the estimated aggregate value that each of Sun Country's executive officers and non-employee directors would receive in respect of such Sun Country RSUs based on the average closing price of one share of Sun Country common stock over the first five business days following the public announcement of the mergers would be as follows:

<u>Sun Country PRSUs</u>

Except as described below, upon the closing and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each outstanding Sun Country PRSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the closing will be automatically converted into an Allegiant time-vesting restricted stock unit award, with substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to such Sun Country PRSU immediately prior to the closing (including, without limitation, any "double trigger" vesting provisions but not including any performance-vesting conditions). There will no longer be any performance-based vesting conditions, and the converted award will remain eligible to vest on the last day of the applicable performance period (as set forth in the applicable award agreement). Such number of shares of Allegiant common stock underlying the converted award will be determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Sun Country common stock underlying the corresponding Sun Country PRSU as of immediately prior to the closing (which shall be deemed to be equal to 125% of the "target" number of Sun Country PRSUs granted) and (B) the merger consideration closing value, by (ii) the measurement price, rounded down to the nearest whole share. If such Sun Country PRSU is held by a former employee or a non-employee director or other service provider, in lieu of the foregoing, upon the closing and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each such Sun Country PRSU will become fully vested (to the extent not yet vested) and converted into the right to receive for each share of Sun Country common stock subject to such Sun Country PRSU (which shall be deemed to be equal to 125% of the "target" number of Sun Country PRSUs granted), the same form of consideration payable to holders of Sun Country common stock. As of the date hereof, no Sun Country non-employee director holds Sun Country PRSUs. Based on the assumptions described above under "*—Certain Assumptions*", the estimated aggregate value that each of our executive officers would receive in respect of such Sun Country PRSUs based on the average closing price of one share of Sun Country common stock over the first five business days following the public announcement of the mergers would be as follows:

---

*Double Trigger Vesting* 

As described in further detail below, certain executive officers are parties to employment agreements or executive employment letters that contain "double trigger" vesting provisions pursuant to which their time-vesting Sun Country RSUs are to accelerate if their employment is terminated without "cause" or for "good reason" within 24 months following a change in control of Sun Country. For any executive officers or other employees who are not party to any such agreements, Sun Country's Compensation Committee previously approved accelerated vesting if such employee is terminated without "cause" within 24 months following a change in control of Sun Country. All Sun Country PRSUs also contain "double trigger" vesting protections, which provide that if there is a change in control of Sun Country and the executive officer's employment is terminated without "cause" or for "good reason" prior to the date on which Sun

111<br>

------

Country's compensation committee determines the level of performance achieved (which we refer to as the vesting date), all such Sun Country PRSUs are to accelerate vesting, subject to the grantee's timely execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of Sun Country. In addition, where applicable, the receipt and retention of such accelerated equity benefits may be subject to the executive officer's continued compliance with restrictive covenant obligations contained in the applicable employment agreement, employment letter, release, or equity award agreement. See "*—Current Employment Arrangements*" beginning on page [111](#tCEA2) for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to the Company's executive officers, including duration and provisions regarding breach and cure. In each case, these "double trigger" vesting protections will continue to apply to the Sun Country equity awards that are assumed and converted into Allegiant equity awards at the closing.

*Current Employment Arrangements* 

Each of Messrs. Bricker, Coley, Snow, Whitney and Zubeck and Ms. Neale is party to either an employment agreement or executive employment letter or separation agreement (in the case of Mr. Whitney) that provides for certain payments and benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment as described in further detail below. Each of Messrs. Davis and Mays were previously parties to employment agreements but upon their voluntary resignation from their respective positions, they were no longer entitled to any severance benefits or payments as outlined in their respective employment agreements other than any of the Accrued Obligations or vested benefits.

In addition, the receipt of severance payments and certain other benefits described below is generally conditioned on the applicable executive's execution and non revocation of a release of claims and continued compliance with restrictive covenant obligations. With respect to Mr. Bricker, these restrictive covenants include non competition for 12 months following termination, non solicitation and non hire for 12 months following termination, confidentiality for three years following termination, and non disparagement in perpetuity.

With respect to Messrs. Coley, Snow and Zubeck and Ms. Neale, the Sun Country's customary release required as a condition to severance includes a 12 month non solicitation and non hire covenant and nondisclosure, nondisparagement, and intellectual property protection covenants in the Company's standard form.

*Jude Bricker's Current Employment Agreement and Health Care Side Letter* 

Pursuant to Mr. Bricker's employment agreement, upon a termination of employment by Sun Country without cause or a resignation for good reason (each of which we refer to as a qualifying termination), or upon Sun Country's non-renewal of the initial four-year employment term, Mr. Bricker would be entitled to: (i) any earned but unpaid amounts and vested benefits, and (ii) a severance payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of his base salary plus his target annual bonus, payable over 12 months (which we refer to as the Bricker severance benefits). Mr. Bricker may also become entitled to receive the health care benefits set forth in his side letter agreement with Sun Country, as described in more detail below (which we refer to as the health care side letter).

The Bricker severance benefits are conditioned upon Mr. Bricker's execution of a general release of claims and compliance with restrictive covenant obligations, including non competition during employment and for 12 months thereafter, non solicitation and non hire for 12 months thereafter, non disclosure of confidential information for three years following termination, and non disparagement in perpetuity. Under Mr. Bricker's employment agreement, severance payments are subject to his continued compliance with covenants in the agreement, and the 12-month severance installments end early upon a covenant breach following written notice and a 10 business day cure period.

Mr. Bricker's employment agreement also provides in the event that the payment of the Bricker severance benefits (together with any other payments or benefits) would result in Mr. Bricker being subject to the excise tax imposed on certain "golden parachute" arrangements under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, the employment agreement provides that such payments and benefits will be reduced to the largest amount which can be paid without the imposition of such excise tax, but only if such reduction would result in Mr. Bricker retaining a larger after-tax benefit than if he had received all payments and been subject to the excise tax. Under the terms of Mr. Bricker's employment agreement, Mr. Bricker is also vested for life in travel benefits under the Sun Country Air Travel Plan, which provide for an annual credit of $20,000, which Mr. Bricker may use for personal travel on Sun Country's (or following the closing of the mergers, Allegiant's) flights for himself and certain qualifying friends and family. Each one way flight taken is valued at $75 and is deducted from Mr. Bricker's annual dollar credit amount.

Mr. Bricker is also party to a side letter agreement, which provides for certain post-termination health care benefits (which we refer to as the post termination healthcare benefits). Specifically, if Mr. Bricker's employment is terminated

112<br>

------

for any reason other than cause (as defined in his employment agreement), he shall be eligible to receive COBRA continuation medical coverage for himself and his spouse and eligible dependents until the earlier of Mr. Bricker (i) becoming eligible for coverage under another employer's benefit plans or (ii) becoming eligible for Medicare. The cost of such coverage will be paid by Sun Country and reported as taxable income on an annual basis. Mr. Bricker will also receive an additional amount of compensation so that such COBRA coverage will be on a tax-free basis. If Sun Country determines that it would not be legally permitted to continue Mr. Bricker's COBRA coverage under Sun Country's medical plans, Sun Country shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide Mr. Bricker with an amount of compensation on an annual basis (on an after-tax basis) to enable Mr. Bricker to purchase a fully-insured insurance medical coverage policy for himself, his spouse and eligible dependents (provided that such additional compensation will no longer be provided on the date the executive becomes eligible for coverage under another employer's group health plan or Medicare).

*See "Quantification of Potential Payments and Benefits to Sun Country's Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Mergers" beginning on page [114](#tQUAN) for the amount Mr. Bricker could be eligible to receive in respect of the Bricker severance benefits and the post termination healthcare benefits.* 

*Current Executive Employment Letters* 

Each of Messrs. Coley, Snow and Zubeck and Ms. Neale is party to executive employment letters with Sun Country (each we refer to as an employment letter) which provide that upon a termination of employment by Sun Country without cause or resignation by the executive officer for Good Reason, in each case, on or within 24 months following a change in control (each we refer to as a CIC qualifying termination), these executive officers would be entitled to the following benefits, subject to their timely execution and non-revocation of a general waiver and release of claims agreements in Sun Country's customary form and the executive officer's continued compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth therein: (i) his or her earned but unpaid amounts and vested benefits, (ii) continued payment of his or her base salary until the earlier of the 18-month anniversary of the termination date or the first date that the executive violates any of his or her applicable restrictive covenants, (iii) payment of a pro-rated portion of his or her annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs based on actual performance measured through the termination date and payable on or around the later of the first pay period following Sun Country's determination of the performance level achieved and the date the release becomes effective and non-revocable; provided, that if such termination occurs on the Closing, such amount will be based on the "greater of" target or such actual performance, per the terms of the merger agreement, (iv) payment of his or her annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs equal to 150% of the greater of target or actual performance through the termination date and payable on or around the later of the first pay period following Sun Country's determination of the performance level achieved and the date the release becomes effective and non-revocable, and (v) if elected by the executive officer, continued coverage under COBRA for the executive officer and his or her spouse and eligible dependents with the employer portion of the premiums subsidized by Sun Country until the earlier of the 12-month anniversary of the termination date or the first date that the executive officer becomes eligible for coverage under another employer's benefit plans. Each of these employment letters provides that the release agreement is in the Company's customary form and includes a 12-month non-solicitation and non-hire covenant and a nondisclosure, nondisparagement, and intellectual property protection covenant. In addition, the salary continuation component of the severance payments under these employment letters ends early upon a covenant breach following written notice and a 10 business day cure period.

Each of these employment letters also provides in the event that any payments or benefits the executive officer would be eligible to receive from Sun Country or otherwise would constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would result in the executive officer being subject to the excise tax imposed on certain "golden parachute" arrangements under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, the employment letters provide that such payments and benefits will be reduced to the largest amount which can be paid without the imposition of such excise tax, but only if such reduction would result in the executive officer retaining a larger after-tax benefit than if he or she had received all payments and been subject to the excise tax.

Additionally, each of the employment letters provide that upon the earlier to occur of (x) the executive officer reaching five years of service with Sun Country or (y) the consummation of certain change in control transaction(s), such as the mergers, their travel benefits under Sun Country's Universal Air Travel Plan, which provide for an annual credit of $10,000 that they may use for personal travel on Sun Country's (or following the closing of the mergers, Allegiant's) flights for themselves and certain qualifying friends and family, which are valued at $75 for each one-way flight taken and deducted from the annual credit amount applicable to each of them, will vest and become non-forfeitable for the executive officer's lifetime.

*Grant Whitney Separation Agreement* 

Mr. Whitney terminated employment on October 20, 2025 (not in connection with the mergers) and as consideration for his timely execution and non-revocation of the Confidential Separation and Release Agreement with Sun Country and continued compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth therein he is eligible to receive: (i) the Accrued Obligations, (ii) continued payment of his annual base salary in installments until the earlier of October 20, 2026 or the first date that the executive violates any restrictive covenants applicable to him and he receives written notice of such violation and does not cure such violation within 10 business days, (iii) payment of a pro-rated portion of his annual bonus for 2025 based on actual performance for the portion of the year Mr. Whitney was employed by Sun Country during the year, to be paid at or around the same time and in the same manner as such bonus is paid to other executives of Sun Country and (iv) continued coverage under Sun Country's medical and dental plans as in effect on his separation date through COBRA through October 31, 2026 for Mr. Whitney and his eligible dependents at the same premium rates as if he were still an active employee of Sun Country (which we refer to as the Whitney severance benefits).

The Whitney severance benefits were not entered into in connection with the mergers and do not provide for any payments or benefits contingent upon, or otherwise relating to, completion of the mergers.

*Annual Incentive Payments* 

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement each bonus-eligible employee who remains employed through the closing, including each executive officer, will be eligible to receive a prorated bonus for the portion of Sun Country's fiscal year that elapsed prior to the closing date, with applicable performance goals deemed achieved at the greater of target or actual performance measured through the closing. Each prorated bonus will be paid on or prior to the next regularly scheduled payroll date in the ordinary course but in any event within 30 days following the closing.

See "*Quantification of Potential Payments and Benefits to Sun Country's Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Mergers*" beginning on page [114](#tQUAN) for the estimated amount of the prorated bonus payment that each of Sun Country's named executive officers would receive under the terms of the merger agreement. Based on the assumptions described above under "*—Certain Assumption*s" and, for illustrative purposes, assuming that the applicable performance goals are achieved at a level that results in payment of the applicable annual bonus opportunity for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 at target and pro-rated based on an assumed closing date of February 17, 2026, the estimated aggregate amount of the prorated bonus payments that Sun Country's executive officers who are not named executive officers would receive under the terms of the merger agreement is $105,589.

*Director Equity Awards for Fiscal Year 2026* 

In accordance with the terms of the accompanying disclosure schedules to the merger agreement, Sun Country may continue to make payments and grant Sun Country RSUs to its non-employee directors in accordance with Sun Country's non-employee director compensation as disclosed in its proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 25, 2025.

*New Management Arrangements* 

Following the closing, Jude Bricker is expected to join the combined company's board of directors as a non-employee director and will also serve as Special Advisor to the Allegiant chief executive officer to help ensure a smooth and successful integration. Mr. Bricker will be eligible to receive compensation from Allegiant in respect of his service on the board of directors in accordance with the non-employee director compensation policy then in effect. However, as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, no Sun Country executive officer has entered into any agreement with Sun Country or Allegiant regarding employment after the closing, although it is possible that Sun Country or Allegiant may enter into new employment or other arrangements with executive officers in the future.

*Indemnification and Insurance* 

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, from and after the closing, Allegiant will indemnify certain persons, including Sun Country's directors and executive officers. In addition, for a period of six years from the closing date, Allegiant will maintain insurance policies for the benefit of certain persons, including Sun Country's directors and executive officers. For additional information, see "*The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements—Indemnification and Insurance*" beginning on page [141](#tTM13).

*Quantification of Potential Payments and Benefits to Sun Country's Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Mergers* 

The information set forth in the table below is intended to comply with Item 402(t) of the SEC's Regulation S-K, which requires disclosure of information about certain compensation for each named executive officer of Sun Country that is

114<br>

------

based on, or otherwise relates to, the mergers. For purposes of this disclosure, our named executive officers consist of: (i) Jude Bricker, (ii) Dave Davis, (iii) Gregory Mays, (iv) Erin Rose Neale and (v) Grant Whitney. For additional details regarding the terms of the payments and benefits, see "*—Interests of Sun Country's Directors and Executive Officers in the mergers*" beginning on page [108](#tISC).

The amounts shown in the table below are estimates of the payments and benefits (on a pre-tax basis) that each of the Sun Country named executive officers would receive based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the assumptions described above under "*—Certain Assumptions*" and in the footnotes to the table, and do not reflect certain compensation actions that may occur before completion of the mergers.

The amounts in the table do not include amounts that Sun Country's named executive officers were already vested in as of February 17, 2026. In addition, these amounts do not attempt to forecast any additional equity award grants or issuances or forfeitures that may occur prior to the completion of the mergers. As a result of the aforementioned assumptions, which may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, the actual amounts, if any, to be received by a named executive officer may materially differ from the amounts set forth below.

Receipt of certain of these amounts is subject to material conditions, including execution and non revocation of a release of claims and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenant obligations, including the duration of such obligations.

(1) Dave Davis, *Former President, Chief Financial Officer and Member of the Sun Country Board*, Gregory Mays, *Former Chief Operating Officer* and Grant Whitney, *Former SVP and Chief Revenue Officer* terminated employment with Sun Country on April 16, 2025, April 17, 2025 and October 20, 2025, respectively, are also named executive officers for purposes of this disclosure but are not entitled to receive any compensation in connection with the mergers. 

(2) *Cash*. The amounts shown in this column represent the aggregate cash amounts that each named executive officer (other than Messrs. Davis, Mays and Whitney) would be eligible to receive as described below. The cash severance amount payable to each named executive officer (other than Messrs. Davis, Mays and Whitney) upon a qualifying termination of employment (assuming such termination of employment occurs on or during the 24-month anniversary of the closing in the case of Ms. Neale) was determined based on the sum of (i) 1.50 times the named executive officer's base salary and (ii) 150% of the named executive officer's target annual bonus opportunity. Such cash severance amounts are "double trigger" and are payable only upon a qualifying termination of employment following the closing, and are conditioned on the named executive officer's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenant obligations. Mr. Whitney terminated employment on October 20, 2025 pursuant to a separation agreement that was not entered into in connection with the mergers and does not provide for any payments or benefits contingent upon, or otherwise relating to, the closing of the mergers. Accordingly, no amounts are included for Mr. Whitney in this column. For further information, see "*—Current Employment Arrangements*" beginning on page [112](#tCEA2). In addition, the amounts shown in this column include the prorated 2026 annual bonus that could become payable pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement based on the "greater of" target or actual performance, which for purposes of this disclosure, such amounts are estimated based on the most recent estimated level of performance used for purposes of determining Sun Country's bonus accrual in respect of its financial reporting and, for illustrative purposes, are assumed to equal the applicable annual bonus amount payable to each named executive officer (other than Messrs. Davis, Mays and Whitney) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 at target and pro rated based on an assumed closing date of February 17, 2026. The prorated 2026 annual bonus payable to Mr. Bricker and Ms. Neale is "single trigger" because it is payable to each named executive officer (other than Messrs. Davis, Mays and Whitney) upon the closing of the mergers per the terms of the merger agreement; provided that, absent such provision, Ms. Neale would have been eligible to receive payment of the prorated 2026 annual bonus (payable at the same time such bonus would have otherwise been paid in 2026) if she experienced a qualifying termination of employment following the closing (and in which case, such bonus would have been a "double trigger" benefit). For illustrative purposes, we have assumed such pro rated annual bonus amounts would be paid following an assumed closing date of February 17, 2026. For further information, see "*—Current Employment Arrangements*" beginning on page [112](#tCEA2) and "*—Annual Incentive Payments*" beginning on page [114](#tAIP). Receipt and continued receipt of the cash severance and related payments described in this column are subject to the release and restrictive covenant conditions, including duration and provisions regarding breach and cure, described under "*—Current Employment Arrangements*" beginning on page [112](#tCEA2).

(3) *Equity*. The values in this column reflect the estimated value of accelerated vesting of unvested Sun Country RSUs and Sun Country PRSUs (with the number of Sun Country PRSUs deemed to be equal to 125% of the "target" number of Sun Country PRSUs granted) that would become vested only upon a qualifying termination of employment of the applicable named executive officer in connection with, or following, the mergers. For illustrative purposes, these amounts assume that such qualifying termination of employment occurred on the assumed closing date of February 17, 2026 and that each share subject to such equity award was valued at the average closing price of one share of Sun Country common stock over the first five business days following the public announcement of the mergers. This accelerated vesting is a "double trigger" benefit and therefore applies only if the applicable named executive officer's employment is terminated by Sun Country without "cause" or by the named executive officer for "good reason" within twenty-four (24) months following a change in control. Messrs. Davis and Mays and Mr. Whitney are included as named executive officers for purposes of this disclosure but are not entitled to receive any equity-based compensation in connection with the mergers, and accordingly no amounts are shown for such individuals. For further details regarding the treatment of Sun Country equity awards in connection with the mergers, see "*—Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards*" beginning on page [110](#tTOEA). Receipt of any equity-based amounts described in this column is subject to execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and continued compliance with restrictive covenants, including duration and provisions regarding breach and cure, such conditions are described under "*—Current Employment Arrangements*." The estimated values of such awards are shown in the following table:

(4) *Perquisites/Benefits*. The values in this column include the estimated cost of continued health coverage and travel benefits that are based on, or otherwise relate to, the mergers. Mr. Whitney terminated employment on October 20, 2025 pursuant to a separation agreement that was not entered into in connection with the mergers and does not provide for any payments or benefits contingent upon, or otherwise relating to, the closing of the mergers; accordingly, no amounts are included for Mr. Whitney in this column. Specifically, these values include (i) the employer paid portion of COBRA continuation coverage for medical, dental and vision (including the 2% administrative fee) for up to one year in the case of Ms. Neale, assuming an eligible termination of employment on or during the 24 month anniversary of the closing, and (ii) the employer paid portion of COBRA continuation coverage for medical, dental and vision (including the 2% administrative fee) for up to one year for Mr. Bricker and his eligible dependents for up to one-year as the actuarial valuation of continued coverage for Mr. Bricker until he becomes eligible for coverage under another employer's benefit plans or he becomes eligible for Medicare in the event his employment is terminated for any reason other than cause, as set forth in the health care side letter, is not readily ascertainable. The continued health coverage benefits described in clauses (i) and (ii) are double trigger benefits to the extent they become payable only upon a qualifying termination of employment following the closing. In addition, this column includes the estimated cost of one year of travel benefits under the Sun Country Air Travel Plan for Ms. Neale whose travel benefits will vest for life in connection with the mergers. Mr. Bricker's travel benefits are already fully vested and as such, no amounts were included in this column. The travel benefit vesting is a "single trigger" benefit because it vests upon the closing of the mergers without regard to a termination of employment. For further information, see "*—Current Employment Arrangements*" beginning on page [112](#tCEA2). 

*Tax Receivable Agreement* 

In connection with Sun Country's initial public offering ("IPO") in 2021, Sun Country entered into the tax receivable agreement with the TRA holders, including Mr. Bricker and Ms. Philipovitch. The tax receivable agreement generally provides for the payment by Sun Country to the TRA holders of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax that Sun Country and its subsidiaries actually realize (or are deemed to have realized in certain circumstances) for periods starting at least 12 months after the closing date of Sun Country's IPO as a result of the utilization of tax attributes existing at the time of Sun Country's IPO. Sun Country will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. Under the terms of the tax receivable agreement, however, upon a change of control (as defined under the tax receivable agreement, which includes certain mergers and business transactions, including the first merger) the TRA holders will be entitled to an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the tax receivable agreement at the time of closing. It is currently estimated, based on an analysis conducted by Sun Country's third-party tax advisors consistent with the terms of the tax receivable agreement, that TRA payments made to Mr. Bricker and his respective affiliates will be approximately $2.1 million, and TRA payments made to Ms. Philipovitch and her affiliates will be approximately $5,000.

The rights under the tax receivable agreement result in additional transaction costs, but also additional payment rights, and other considerations for Mr. Bricker and Ms. Philipovitch that differ in certain respects from other Sun Country stockholders.

#### Accounting Treatment of the Mergers
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared on the basis that Allegiant, assuming receipt of the required regulatory approvals and closing, will account for the mergers as a purchase of Sun Country using the acquisition method pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, *Business Combinations*. Under the acquisition method, the assets and liabilities of Sun Country are recorded at their fair value at the closing. In addition, the total consideration, measured at the market price at the first effective time, is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Fair value is defined in ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurement*, as "the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date." Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. Once required regulatory approvals are received and the closing has occurred, Allegiant will consolidate Sun Country prospectively.

The transaction accounting adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of presenting the pro forma financial statements, which are necessary to comply with applicable disclosure and reporting requirements. The allocation of the estimated consideration is pending finalization of various estimates, inputs, and analyses. Since this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared based on preliminary estimates of consideration and fair values attributable to the purchase of Sun Country, the actual amounts eventually recorded for the purchase accounting, including the identifiable goodwill, may differ materially from the information presented.

#### Regulatory Approvals Required for the Closing

#### U.S. Antitrust Laws
The closing is subject to HSR Act clearance. Under the HSR Act, and the rules promulgated thereunder, certain transactions may not be consummated unless HSR Notification and Report Forms (which we refer to as HSR notifications) have been filed with the Antitrust Division of the DOJ (which we refer to as the Antitrust Division) and the FTC, and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The initial waiting period is 30 days, but (i) this period may be shortened if the reviewing agency grants "early termination," or (ii) it may be restarted if the acquiring person voluntarily withdraws and re-files its Notification and Report Form (which we refer to as a pull-and-refile), and/or (iii) it may be extended if the reviewing agency issues a request for additional information and documentary material (which we refer to as a second request), in which case the waiting period expires 30 days after the date when both parties have substantially complied with such request. The mergers are subject to such requirements. Allegiant and Sun Country filed a Premerger Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division and the FTC in connection with the mergers on February 13, 2026. On March 13, 2026, the Antitrust Division granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

#### Other Regulatory Approvals
In addition to HSR Act clearance, the closing is also subject to all approvals and authorizations required to be obtained from the DOT, the FAA, and the DHS, including the TSA, in connection with the closing.

#### Exchange of Sun Country Common Stock for Merger Consideration
At or immediately prior to the first effective time, Allegiant will deposit with an exchange agent selected by Allegiant reasonably acceptable to Sun Country (i) the aggregate number of shares of Allegiant common shares to which holders of Sun Country common stock will be entitled at the first effective time (excluding any fractional share consideration) and (ii) the aggregate amount of cash to which holders of Sun Country common stock will be entitled at the first effective time.

As promptly as practicable after the first effective time (and in any event, within three business days after the first effective time), the exchange agent will mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates representing Sun Country common stock, which Sun Country common stock were converted into the right to receive the merger consideration at the first effective time, a letter of transmittal and instructions for surrendering such certificates in exchange for payment of the merger consideration. Each holder of a certificate or certificates representing Sun Country common stock that has been converted into the right to receive the merger consideration will, upon surrender thereof to the exchange agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, be entitled to receive (i) cash in an amount

117<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
equal to the per-share cash consideration, multiplied by the number of shares of Sun Country common stock previously represented by such certificate, (ii) the number of shares of Allegiant common stock (which will be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive for the shares of Sun Country common stock represented by such certificate (after taking into account all other certificates surrendered by such holder), (iii) any dividends or other distributions payable to such holder, and (iv) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Allegiant common stock payable to such holder. The certificates so surrendered will be cancelled.

Any holder of non-certificated shares of Sun Country common stock represented by book-entry will not be required to deliver a certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent to receive the merger consideration. Instead, each registered holder of one or more book-entry shares of Sun Country common stock will automatically upon the first effective time be entitled to receive (i) cash in an amount equal to the per-share cash consideration, multiplied by the number of shares of Sun Country common stock previously represented by such shares of Sun Country common stock represented by book-entry, (ii) the number of shares of Allegiant common stock (which will be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Allegiant common stock that such holder has the right to receive for such shares of Sun Country common stock represented by book-entry, (iii) any dividends or distributions payable to such holder, and (iv) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Allegiant common stock payable to such holder.

No dividends or distributions, if any, with respect to Allegiant common stock with a record date after the first effective time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered shares of Sun Country common stock to be converted into shares of Allegiant common stock until such holder has surrendered their shares to the exchange agent in accordance with the merger agreement. After such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) by the exchange agent at the time of delivery of the per-share merger consideration to such holder, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the first effective time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Allegiant common stock to which such holder is entitled to receive and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the first effective time but prior to the time of such delivery of the per-share merger consideration by the exchange agent, and a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery of the per-share merger consideration by the exchange agent.

No interest will be paid or accrue on the cash payable for the benefit of the holders of certificated or book-entry shares. The merger consideration will be subject to deduction for any required withholding taxes.

If any certificate representing Sun Country common stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will issue the merger consideration with respect to each share of Sun Country common stock formerly represented by such certificate upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Allegiant, a customary indemnity against any claim that may be made against Allegiant, Merger Subs, the surviving corporation or the exchange agent with respect to such certificate and, if required by Allegiant or the exchange agent, the posting by such person of a bond as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Allegiant, Merger Subs, the surviving corporation or the exchange agent with respect to such certificate.

No fraction of a share of Allegiant common stock will be issued by virtue of the first merger. Instead, the exchange agent, acting as agent for the holders of Sun Country common stock that otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Allegiant common stock as merger consideration, will aggregate all fractional shares of Allegiant common stock that would otherwise have been payable and cause them to be sold on Nasdaq at then-prevailing prices, and each holder of Sun Country common stock that otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Allegiant common stock will, in lieu thereof, be entitled to receive from the proceeds from such sales by the exchange agent, rounded down to the nearest whole cent and without interest, an amount equal to such holder's proportionate interest in the proceeds of such sales. As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Sun Country common stock in lieu of any fractional share interests in Allegiant common stock, the exchange agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the holders of converted shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to receive such cash.

#### Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with Sun Country's IPO in 2021, Sun Country entered into the tax receivable agreement with the TRA holders, including Mr. Bricker and Ms. Philipovitch. The tax receivable agreement generally provides for the payment by Sun Country to the TRA holders of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax that Sun Country and its subsidiaries actually realize (or are deemed to have realized in certain

118<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
circumstances) for periods starting at least 12 months after the closing date of Sun Country's IPO as a result of the utilization of tax attributes existing at the time of Sun Country's IPO. Sun Country will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. Under the terms of the tax receivable agreement, however, a change of control (as defined under the tax receivable agreement, which includes certain mergers and business transactions, including the first merger) will result in a payment by Sun Country equal to the present value of future payments under the tax receivable agreement, which payment will be calculated based on certain assumptions, including those relating to Sun Country's and its subsidiaries' future taxable income. It is currently estimated, based on an analysis conducted by Sun Country's third-party tax advisors consistent with the terms of the tax receivable agreement, that TRA payments made to Mr. Bricker and his respective affiliates will be approximately $2.1 million, and TRA payments made to Ms. Philipovitch and her affiliates will be approximately $5,000.

#### Treatment of Sun Country's Existing Debt; Financing
There is no financing condition to the proposed transactions.

In connection with the proposed transactions, the parties intend to repay in full and terminate Sun Country's existing revolving credit facility.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the merger agreement, Sun Country has agreed to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide customary cooperation in connection with the arrangement and consummation by Allegiant of any debt financing or refinancing transaction to be entered into (i) in connection with the proposed transactions or (ii) otherwise to the extent information related to Sun Country and its subsidiaries is reasonably required by a financing source in connection therewith.

#### Appraisal Rights or Dissenters' Rights
Under Nevada law, Allegiant stockholders will not be entitled to any appraisal rights in connection with the first merger, the second merger, or any other proposed transaction.

Under the DGCL, Sun Country stockholders have the right to dissent from the first merger and to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares of Sun Country common stock as determined by the Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, as determined by the Court, in lieu of the consideration that Sun Country stockholders would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to the merger agreement. These rights are known as appraisal rights. Sun Country stockholders electing to exercise appraisal rights must comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL in order to perfect their rights. Strict compliance with the statutory procedures is required to perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law.

The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of the Delaware statutory procedures required to be followed by a stockholder in order to perfect appraisal rights in connection with the first merger. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL, the full text of which is attached as Annex D to this registration statement and joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Failure to precisely follow any of the statutory procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL may result in the loss of appraisal rights. All references in this summary to a "stockholder" are to the record holder of shares of Sun Country common stock unless otherwise indicated.

Section 262 of the DGCL requires that, where a merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at a meeting of stockholders, stockholders for whom appraisal rights are available be notified not less than 20 days before the stockholders meeting to vote on the merger agreement proposal in connection with which appraisal rights will be available. A copy of Section 262 of the DGCL must be included with such notice. This registration statement and joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes our notice to Sun Country's stockholders of the availability of appraisal rights in connection with the merger in compliance with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL and a copy of the full text of Section 262 of the DGCL is attached hereto as Annex D. Any stockholder who wishes to consider exercising their appraisal rights should carefully review the text of Section 262 of the DGCL contained in Annex D to this registration statement and joint proxy statement/prospectus, since failure to timely and properly comply with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL will result in the loss of their appraisal rights under the DGCL.

Any stockholder wishing to exercise appraisal rights should consider consulting legal counsel before attempting to exercise such rights.

119<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
If a stockholder wishes to exercise appraisal rights with respect to their shares of Sun Country common stock, the stockholder must satisfy each of the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The stockholder must deliver to us a written demand for appraisal of their shares before the vote with respect to the merger agreement proposal is taken. This written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the proposed transactions. Voting against or failing to vote for the merger agreement proposal by itself does not constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262 of the DGCL. The demand must reasonably inform us of the identity of the stockholder and the intention of the stockholder to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares. A stockholder's failure to make a written demand before the vote with respect to the merger agreement proposal is taken will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The stockholder must not vote in favor of, or consent in writing to, the merger agreement proposal. A vote in favor of the merger agreement proposal, by proxy submitted by mail, over the internet, by telephone or virtually during the special meeting, will cause the stockholder to lose their appraisal rights in respect of the shares so voted and will nullify any written demands for appraisal the stockholder previously submitted. A proxy which does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the merger agreement proposal. Therefore, a stockholder who votes by proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must vote against the merger agreement proposal or abstain from voting on the merger agreement proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The stockholder must continue to hold their shares of Sun Country common stock from the date of making the demand through the first effective time. Therefore, a stockholder who is the record holder of shares of Sun Country common stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made but who thereafter transfers the shares before the first effective time will lose any right to appraisal with respect to such shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The stockholder must otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL.

If a stockholder fails to comply with any of these conditions and the first merger is completed, that stockholder will be entitled to receive the merger consideration (without interest and subject to any required tax withholding) but will have no appraisal rights with respect to their shares of Sun Country common stock.

Only a holder of record of shares of Sun Country common stock is entitled to demand an appraisal of the shares registered in that holder's name. A demand for appraisal in respect of shares of Sun Country common stock should be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record, fully and correctly, as his, her or its name appears on his, her or its stock certificates, and must state that such person intends thereby to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares of Sun Country common stock in connection with the first merger. If shares of Sun Country common stock are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of a demand for appraisal should be made in that capacity, and if the shares of Sun Country common stock are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal on behalf of a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner or owners. If the shares are held in "street name" by a broker, bank or nominee, the broker, bank or nominee may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares held for one or more beneficial owners while not exercising the rights with respect to the shares held for other beneficial owners; in such case, however, the written demand should set forth the number of shares as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares is expressly mentioned, we will presume that the demand covers all shares held in the name of the record owner. If you hold your shares of Sun Country common stock in a brokerage account or in other nominee form and you wish to exercise appraisal rights, you should consult with your broker or the other nominee to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by the nominee.

Beneficial owners of shares of Sun Country common stock held in "street name" who desire appraisal should take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that a timely and proper demand for appraisal is made by the record holder of such shares. Shares held through brokerage firms, banks and other financial institutions are frequently deposited with and held of record in the name of a nominee of a central security depository. Any beneficial holder desiring appraisal who holds shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution is responsible for ensuring that the demand for appraisal is made by the record holder. The beneficial holder of such shares should instruct such firm, bank or institution

120<br>

------

that the demand for appraisal be made by the record holder of the shares, which may be the nominee of a central security depository if the shares have been so deposited. As required by Section 262, a demand for appraisal must reasonably inform Sun Country of the identity of the holder(s) of record (which may be a nominee as described above) and of such holder's intention to seek appraisal of such shares.

All written demands for appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL should be addressed to Sun Country at Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 2005 Cargo Road, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55450, and must be delivered before the vote on the merger agreement is taken at the special meeting.

Within 10 days after the first effective time, the surviving corporation, must give written notice that the first merger has become effective to each stockholder who has complied with Section 262 of the DGCL, has properly delivered a written demand for appraisal and who did not vote in favor of the merger agreement proposal. At any time within 60 days after the first effective time, any stockholder who has demanded an appraisal, and who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party, has the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the merger consideration (without interest and subject to any required tax withholding) specified by the merger agreement for his, her or its shares of Sun Country common stock by delivering to the surviving corporation, a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal. After this period, the stockholder may withdraw such demand for appraisal only with the written consent of the surviving corporation. Within 120 days after the first effective time, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL will, upon written request to the surviving corporation, be entitled to receive a written statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger agreement proposal and with respect to which demands for appraisal rights have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares of Sun Country common stock held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, request from the corporation the statement described in the previous sentence. Such written statement will be mailed to the requesting stockholder within 10 days after such written request is received by the surviving corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. Within 120 days after the first effective time, but not thereafter, either the surviving corporation, or any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares held by all stockholders entitled to appraisal. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares of Sun Country common stock held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file the petition described in the previous sentence. Upon the filing of the petition by a stockholder, service of a copy of such petition shall be made upon the surviving corporation. If no such petition is filed within that 120-day period, appraisal rights will be lost for all holders of shares who had previously demanded appraisal of their shares. The surviving corporation has no obligation to file such a petition in the event there are dissenting stockholders. There is no present intent on the part of Sun Country to file an appraisal petition, and stockholders seeking to exercise appraisal rights should not assume that Sun Country will file such a petition or that Sun Country will initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of such shares. Accordingly, stockholders who desire to have their shares appraised should initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of their appraisal rights within the time periods and in the manner prescribed in Section 262 of the DGCL.

If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to the surviving corporation, Sun Country will then be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the petition, to file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed, a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving corporation. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court of Chancery, must give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication must be approved by the Court of Chancery, and the costs thereof will be borne by the surviving corporation. At the hearing on such petition, the Court of Chancery will determine the stockholders who have complied with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court of Chancery may require the stockholders who have demanded appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; if any stockholder fails to comply with that direction, the Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to that stockholder. In addition, the Court of Chancery will dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (i) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal or (ii) the value of the consideration provided in the first merger for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million.

121<br>

------

After determination of the stockholders entitled to appraisal of their shares of Sun Country common stock, the Court of Chancery will appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the first merger, together with interest, if any. Unless the Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as otherwise provided in Section 262 of the DGCL, interest from the first effective time through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the first effective time and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation, may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter only upon the sum of (i) the difference, if any, between the amount paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court of Chancery, and (ii) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving corporation, or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court of Chancery may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal before the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving corporation, and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. When the fair value is determined, the Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value, with interest thereon, if any, by the surviving corporation, to the stockholders entitled to receive the same, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and in the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to Sun Country of the certificates representing such stock.

In determining the fair value of the shares of Sun Country common stock and, if applicable, interest, the Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. In *Weinberger v. UOP, Inc.*, the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that "proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court" should be considered, and that "[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company."

The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that in making this determination of fair value, the court may consider market value, asset value, the negotiated transaction price, the unaffected stock price, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts that could be ascertained as of the date of the merger that throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. The Delaware Supreme Court has recently indicated that absent deficiencies in the sale process the negotiated transaction price should be given "considerable weight" by the Court of Chancery in determining fair value. Section 262 of the DGCL provides that fair value is to be "exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger." In *Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc.*, the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a "narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value," but rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In *Weinberger*, the Delaware Supreme Court also stated that "elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered."

You should be aware that the fair value of your shares of Sun Country common stock as determined under Section 262 of the DGCL could be more than, the same as, or less than the value that you are entitled to receive under the terms of the merger agreement and that an opinion of an investment banking firm as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration payable in a sale transaction, such as the merger, is not an opinion as to, and does not otherwise address, fair value under Section 262 of the DGCL.

Moreover, we do not anticipate offering more than the per share merger consideration to any stockholder exercising appraisal rights and reserve the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262 of the DGCL, the "fair value" of a share of Sun Country common stock is less than the per share merger consideration.

Costs of the appraisal proceeding may be imposed upon the surviving corporation, and the stockholders participating in the appraisal proceeding by the Court of Chancery as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon the application of a stockholder, the Court of Chancery may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and expenses of experts utilized in the appraisal proceeding, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of an order, each party bears its own expenses. Any stockholder who has duly demanded and perfected appraisal rights in compliance with Section 262 of the DGCL will not, after the first effective time, be entitled to vote shares subject to that demand for any purpose or to receive payments of dividends or any other distribution with respect to those shares, other than with respect to payment as of a record date before the first effective time. If no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days

122<br>

------

after the first effective time, or if the stockholder delivers a written withdrawal of his or her demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the terms of the merger within 60 days after the first effective time or thereafter with the written approval of Sun Country, then the right of that stockholder to appraisal will cease. Once a petition for appraisal is filed, the appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery will not be dismissed as to any stockholder without the prior approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court of Chancery deems just; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the merger consideration that such holder would have received (without interest and subject to any required tax withholding) pursuant to the merger agreement within 60 days after the first effective time.

In view of the complexity of Section 262 of the DGCL, stockholders who may wish to dissent from the merger and pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal advisors.

#### Nasdaq Listing of Allegiant Common Stock; Delisting and Deregistration of Sun Country Common Stock
It is a condition to the closing that the shares of Allegiant common stock to be issued to Sun Country stockholders in the first merger be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance. If the first merger is completed, Sun Country common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

#### Expected Timing of the Closing
Allegiant and Sun Country currently expect the closing to occur in the second or third quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including (i) the approval of the merger agreement proposal by Sun Country stockholders, (ii) the approval of the share issuance proposal by Allegiant stockholders, (iii) the receipt of the required regulatory approvals, which include the antitrust related filings and clearance and the other regulatory approvals discussed above in "The Proposed Transactions—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Closing," and (iv) the absence of any law, whether preliminary, temporary or permanent, which makes illegal, prohibits or otherwise prevents the completion of the proposed transactions.

However, Allegiant and Sun Country cannot predict the actual date on which the closing to occur because completion is subject to conditions beyond their control and it is possible that such conditions could result in the closing occurring earlier or later or not being completed at all. See *"The Proposed Transactions—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Closing*" beginning on page [117](#tTP11) and "The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Closing" beginning on page [127](#tTM2).

#### Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the first merger and the second merger, taken together, generally applicable to U.S. holders (as defined below) that exchange their Sun Country common stock for the merger consideration in the first merger.

This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (which is referred to as the "Code"), U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and judicial and administrative rulings and decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretation at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions herein.

This discussion addresses only those U.S. holders that hold their Sun Country common stock as a "capital asset" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is not a complete description of all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the mergers and, in particular, does not address any tax consequences arising under the "Medicare" contribution tax on net investment income, the alternative minimum tax, the special accounting rules in Section 451(b) of the Code or the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and intergovernmental agreements entered into pursuant thereto or in connection therewith), nor does it address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, or non-U.S. jurisdiction, or under any U.S. federal laws other than those pertaining to the income tax. Further, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a U.S. holder in light of its individual circumstances or that may be applicable to a U.S. holder if it is subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a bank or other financial institution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a tax-exempt organization, governmental agency, instrumentality or other governmental organization or pension fund;

123<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a real estate investment trust or real estate mortgage investment conduit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a partnership, S corporation, or other pass-through entity (or an investor in a partnership, S corporation or other pass-through entity);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an insurance company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a regulated investment company or a mutual fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a dealer or broker in stocks and securities, commodities or currencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trader in securities subject to mark-to-market treatment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person that received Sun Country common stock through the exercise of an employee stock option, through a tax qualified retirement plan, or otherwise as compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person that has a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person who, actually or constructively, owns or has owned 5% or more of Sun Country common stock by vote or value or will own 5% or more of Allegiant common stock by vote or value pursuant to the mergers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person who, actually or constructively, owns any Allegiant common stock prior to the first merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person that holds Sun Country common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion, wash sale or other integrated transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person exercising appraisal rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an individual retirement or other tax-deferred account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. expatriate or former citizen or former long-term resident of the United States.

For purposes of this discussion, the term ***U.S. holder*** means a beneficial owner of Sun Country common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more United States persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) such trust has made a valid election to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If an entity or an arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Sun Country common stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a partner in such partnership (or owner of such entity) will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership (or entity). Accordingly, any such entities or arrangements that hold Sun Country common stock, and any partners or owners therein, should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the mergers in their specific circumstances.

**This discussion is not tax advice. All holders of Sun Country common stock should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the mergers, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S., and other tax laws. Holders of Sun Country common stock that are not U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations.** 

#### In General
Allegiant and Sun Country intend for the mergers, taken together, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Allegiant and Sun Country intend to report the mergers consistent with such qualification. In the merger agreement, each of Allegiant and Sun Country represents that it has not taken or agreed to take any action and is not aware of the existence of any agreement, plan, fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to prevent the mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In addition, Allegiant and Sun Country agree not to, and agree to cause their respective subsidiaries not to, take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and to, and to

124<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
cause their respective subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the mergers to so qualify. However, it is not a condition to Allegiant's obligation or Sun Country's obligation to complete the transactions that the mergers, taken together, qualify as a "reorganization" or that Sun Country or Allegiant receive an opinion from counsel to that effect.

Sun Country and Allegiant have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (which is referred to as the "IRS") regarding any matters relating to the mergers and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert that the mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a "reorganization" or that a court would not sustain such a position.

#### U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers
The following discussion assumes that the mergers, taken together, will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Based on that assumption:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. holder will generally recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the cash (excluding cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Allegiant common stock) and the fair market value of the Allegiant common stock received by such U.S. holder in the first merger (including any fractional shares of Allegiant common stock deemed received and sold for cash, as discussed below) exceeds such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such U.S. holder's Sun Country common stock exchanged therefor and (ii) the amount of cash received by such U.S. holder (excluding cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Allegiant common stock);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the aggregate tax basis of the Allegiant common stock received by a U.S. holder in the first merger (including any fractional share of Allegiant common stock deemed received and sold for cash, as discussed below) will be the same as the aggregate adjusted tax basis of such U.S. holder's Sun Country common stock exchanged therefor, decreased by the amount of cash received (excluding any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Allegiant common stock) and increased by the amount of any gain recognized by the U.S. holder (excluding any gain recognized with respect to any fractional share of Allegiant common stock for which cash is received, as discussed below); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. holder's holding period in the Allegiant common stock received (including a fractional share of Allegiant common stock deemed received and sold for cash, as discussed below) will include the holding period of the Sun Country common stock exchanged for such Sun Country common stock.

If a U.S. holder acquired Sun Country common stock at different times or at different prices, any gain or loss realized will be determined separately with respect to each block of Sun Country common stock, and a loss realized (but not recognized) on the exchange of one block of Sun Country common stock cannot be used to offset a gain realized on the exchange of another block of Sun Country common stock. Any such U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the manner in which cash and Allegiant common stock received pursuant to the first merger should be allocated among different blocks of Sun Country common stock and with respect to identifying the bases or holding periods of particular shares of Allegiant common stock received in the first merger.

Any gain recognized by a U.S. holder in connection with the mergers generally will constitute capital gain and will constitute long-term capital gain to the extent such U.S. holder's holding period in the Sun Country common stock surrendered exceeds one year at the effective time of the first merger. Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate holders, including individuals, are generally taxed at preferential rates.

A U.S. holder who receives cash instead of a fractional share of Allegiant common stock will generally be treated as having received such fractional share pursuant to the first merger, and then as having sold such fractional share for cash. In general, such a U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of such cash received and the U.S. holder's tax basis in such fractional share of Allegiant common stock (determined as described above). Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period in the fractional share of Allegiant common stock deemed to be received exceeds one year at the effective time of the first merger. Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate holders, including individuals, are generally taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

#### Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Payments of cash to a U.S. holder of Sun Country common stock as part of the mergers may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (currently at a 24% rate), unless the

125<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
U.S. holder provides proof of an applicable exemption satisfactory to the exchange agent or furnishes its taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with all applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld from payments to a U.S. holder under the backup withholding rules are not additional tax and will be allowed as a refund or credit against the U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

A U.S. holder of Sun Country common stock who receives Allegiant common stock as a result of the mergers will be required to retain records pertaining to the mergers.

**This discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences is for general information only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. Determining the specific tax consequences of the mergers to U.S. holders may be complex and will depend on a holder's specific situation and on factors that are not within our control. All holders of Sun Country common stock should consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the mergers in their particular circumstances, including the applicability and effect of any federal, state, local, non-U.S., or other tax laws.** 

#### Litigation Related to the Proposed Transactions
Stockholders may file lawsuits challenging the proposed transactions, which may name Allegiant, Sun Country, members of the Allegiant board, members of the Sun Country board, or others as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits, including the amount of costs associated with defending claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of any claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from closing on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the closing or may prevent the closing from occurring altogether.

#### THE MERGER AGREEMENT
The following summary describes certain material provisions of the merger agreement. This summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the merger agreement, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and which constitutes part of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read carefully the merger agreement in its entirety because this summary may not contain all of the information about the merger agreement that is important to you. The rights and obligations of the parties to the merger agreement are governed by the express terms of the merger agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements described below and included in the merger agreement were made only for purposes of the merger agreement as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the merger agreement (except as otherwise specified therein), and may be subject to important qualifications, limitations, and supplemental information agreed to by Allegiant, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, and Sun Country in connection with negotiating the terms of the merger agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing circumstances in which a party to the merger agreement may have the right not to consummate the mergers if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the merger agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. Except for the right of Sun Country stockholders to receive the merger consideration after the closing, investors and security holders (in their capacities as such) are not third-party beneficiaries under the merger agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Allegiant, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, and Sun Country or any of their respective affiliates or businesses. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the merger agreement. In addition, you should not rely on the covenants and agreements in the merger agreement as actual limitations on the respective businesses of Allegiant, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, and Sun Country because the parties to the merger agreement may take certain actions that are either expressly permitted in the confidential disclosure schedules to the merger agreement or as otherwise consented to by the appropriate party, which consent may be given without prior notice to the public. The merger agreement is described below, and included as Annex A hereto, only to provide you with information regarding its terms and conditions and not to provide any other factual information regarding Allegiant, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, and Sun Country or their respective businesses. Accordingly, the representations, warranties, covenants, and other agreements in the merger agreement should not be read alone, and you should read the information provided elsewhere in this document and in the filings that each of Allegiant and Sun Country has made or will make with the SEC. For more information on how to obtain the documents that are not attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, "*Where You Can Find More Information*" beginning on page [171](#tWYC).

#### Structure of the Proposed Transactions
The merger agreement provides, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, for two mergers involving the parties thereto. First, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Sun Country, with Sun Country surviving the first merger as the surviving corporation and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant. Immediately following the first merger, Sun Country, as the surviving corporation, will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving the second merger as the surviving company and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant.

#### Closing
Unless another date, time, or place is agreed to in writing by Allegiant and Sun Country, the closing will take place on the third business day after satisfaction or waiver of all conditions described under "—*Conditions to Completion of the Merger*" beginning on page [144](#tTM18) of this joint proxy statement/prospectus (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions).

#### Effective Times
The first merger will become effective at the time when Allegiant, Sun Country and Merger Sub 1 cause to be executed and filed a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, or such later date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the certificate of merger. The second merger will become effective at the time when Allegiant, Sun Country and Merger Sub 2 cause to

127<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
be executed and filed (i) a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and (ii) articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in accordance with the relevant provisions of the NLLCA, in each case, or such later date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the certificate of merger or articles of merger, as applicable.

#### Merger Consideration
At the first effective time, each share of Sun Country common stock outstanding immediately prior to the first effective time (other than (i) shares held by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL, a copy of which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D, (ii) treasury shares, and (iii) shares held by Allegiant, Merger Subs or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries) will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, which is the per-share cash consideration amount of $4.10, without interest, and the per-share stock consideration amount of 0.1557 fully paid and nonassessable share of Allegiant common stock in book-entry form, subject to adjustments for fractional shares as set forth in the merger agreement.

Shares of Sun Country common stock owned by holders entitled to demand and that have properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with, and who have complied in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL will be treated as described under "*The Merger—Appraisal Rights in the Merger*" beginning on page [119](#tTP15) of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. All shares of Sun Country common stock that are held in the treasury of Sun Country, or owned of record by Allegiant, Merger Subs or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries, will be cancelled and will cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto.

#### Treatment of Sun Country Equity-Based Awards and Warrant

#### Sun Country Options
Effective as of immediately prior to the first effective time, each Sun Country option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the first effective time will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into an option to purchase from Allegiant a number of shares of Allegiant common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Sun Country common stock subject to such Sun Country option as of immediately prior to the first effective time by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the merger consideration closing value by the volume weighted average price per-share of Allegiant common stock for the three consecutive trading day period that ends on (and includes) the penultimate trading day immediately prior to the closing date (which we refer to as the measurement price), at an exercise price per-share of Allegiant common stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the exercise price per-share of Sun Country common stock subject to such Sun Country option as of immediately prior to the first effective time by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the measurement price by the merger consideration closing value, with the same terms and conditions, including "double trigger" vesting, that applied to the corresponding Sun Country option immediately prior to the first effective time.

#### Sun Country RSUs
Effective as of immediately prior to the first effective time, each Sun Country RSU (other than Sun Country PRSUs) will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into an Allegiant restricted stock unit award representing the right to receive upon vesting a certain number of shares of Allegiant common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Sun Country common stock underlying the related Sun Country RSU as of immediately prior to the first effective time and (B) the merger consideration closing value, by (ii) the measurement price, with the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the corresponding Sun Country RSU immediately prior to the first effective time.

#### Sun Country PRSUs
Effective as of immediately prior to the first effective time, each Sun Country PRSU will be assumed by Allegiant and converted into an Allegiant time-based restricted stock unit award representing the right to receive upon vesting a certain number of shares of Allegiant common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Sun Country common stock underlying the related Sun Country PRSU as of immediately prior to the first effective time (which will be deemed to be equal to 125% of the "target" number of Sun Country PRSUs awarded) and (B) the merger consideration closing value, by (ii) the measurement price, with the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the corresponding Sun Country PRSU

128<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
immediately prior to the first effective time, except that there will no longer be any performance-based vesting conditions, and the converted award will remain eligible to vest on the last day of the performance period applicable to the corresponding Sun Country PRSU (as set forth in the applicable award agreement).

#### Equity Awards Held by Non-employees
At the first effective time, each Sun Country equity award held by a holder who, as of immediately prior to the first effective time, is not an employee of Sun Country or any of its subsidiaries will not be assumed by Allegiant and will instead become fully vested (to the extent not yet vested) and cancelled as of the first effective time and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each Sun Country option held by such non-employee holder will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration otherwise payable (in the same form as the merger consideration payable to holders of Sun Country common stock) in respect of the in-the-money value of such Sun Country option based on the merger consideration closing value (and, if such Sun Country option is not in-the-money, no merger consideration will be payable in respect of such option); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each Sun Country RSU or Sun Country PRSU held by such non-employee holder will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration payable (in the same form as the merger consideration payable to holders of Sun Country common stock) in respect of the number of shares of Sun Country common stock underlying such Sun Country RSU or Sun Country PRSU (determined as of immediately prior to the first effective time).

#### Sun Country Warrant
The Warrant to Purchase Shares, dated as of December 13, 2019, by and between Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC and SCA Acquisition Holdings, LLC, as may be amended from time to time, will be treated in accordance with the terms thereof in connection with the closing.

#### Payment and Issuance of Merger Consideration; Surrender of Company Certificates
At or immediately prior to the first effective time, Allegiant will deposit with an exchange agent selected by Allegiant reasonably acceptable to Sun Country (i) the aggregate number of shares of Allegiant common stock to which holders of Sun Country common stock will be entitled at the first effective time (excluding any fractional share consideration) and (ii) the aggregate amount of cash to which holders of Sun Country common stock will be entitled at the first effective time.

As promptly as practicable after the first effective time (and in any event, within three business days after the first effective time), the exchange agent will mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates representing Sun Country common stock, which Sun Country common stock was converted into the right to receive the merger consideration at the first effective time, a letter of transmittal and instructions for surrendering such certificates in exchange for payment of the merger consideration. Each holder of a certificate or certificates representing Sun Country common stock that has been converted into the right to receive the merger consideration will, upon surrender thereof to the exchange agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, be entitled to receive (i) cash in an amount equal to the per-share cash consideration, multiplied by the number of shares of Sun Country common stock previously represented by such certificate, (ii) the number of shares of Allegiant common stock (which will be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive for the shares of Sun Country common stock represented by such certificate (after taking into account all other certificates surrendered by such holder), (iii) any dividends or other distributions payable to such holder, and (iv) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Allegiant common stock payable to such holder. The certificates so surrendered will be cancelled.

Any holder of non-certificated shares of Sun Country common stock represented by book-entry will not be required to deliver a certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent to receive the merger consideration. Instead, each registered holder of one or more book-entry shares of Sun Country common stock will automatically upon the first effective time be entitled to receive (i) cash in an amount equal to the per-share cash consideration, multiplied by the number of shares of Sun Country common stock previously represented by such shares of Sun Country common stock represented by book-entry, (ii) the number of shares of Allegiant common stock (which will be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Allegiant common stock

129<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
that such holder has the right to receive for such shares of Sun Country common stock represented by book-entry, (iii) any dividends or distributions payable to such holder, and (iv) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Allegiant common stock payable to such holder.

No dividends or distributions, if any, with respect to Allegiant common stock with a record date after the first effective time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered shares of Sun Country common stock to be converted into shares of Allegiant common stock until such holder has surrendered their shares to the exchange agent in accordance with the merger agreement. After such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) by the exchange agent at the time of delivery of the per-share merger consideration to such holder, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the first effective time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Allegiant common stock to which such holder is entitled to receive and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the first effective time but prior to the time of such delivery of the per-share merger consideration by the exchange agent, and a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery of the per-share merger consideration by the exchange agent.

No interest will be paid or accrue on the cash payable for the benefit of the holders of certificated or book-entry shares. The merger consideration will be subject to deduction for any required withholding taxes.

If any certificate representing Sun Country common stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will issue the merger consideration with respect to each share of Sun Country common stock formerly represented by such certificate upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Allegiant, a customary indemnity against any claim that may be made against Allegiant, Merger Subs, the surviving corporation or the exchange agent with respect to such certificate and, if required by Allegiant or the exchange agent, the posting by such person of a bond as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Allegiant, Merger Subs, the surviving corporation or the exchange agent with respect to such certificate.

No fraction of a share of Allegiant common stock will be issued by virtue of the first merger. Instead, the exchange agent, acting as agent for the holders of Sun Country common stock that otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Allegiant common stock as merger consideration, will aggregate all fractional shares of Allegiant common stock that would otherwise have been payable and cause them to be sold on Nasdaq at then-prevailing prices, and each holder of Sun Country common stock that otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Allegiant common stock will, in lieu thereof, be entitled to receive from the proceeds from such sales by the exchange agent, rounded down to the nearest whole cent and without interest, an amount equal to such holder's proportionate interest in the proceeds of such sales. As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Sun Country common stock in lieu of any fractional share interests in Allegiant common stock, the exchange agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the holders of converted shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to receive such cash.

------

circumstance or occurrence that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations of such person and its subsidiaries, except that, none of the following will be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be a material adverse effect:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any development in general economic conditions, or in securities, credit or financial markets, including changes in interest rates, credit ratings or exchange rates, in the United States or any other country or region in the world or any industry-wide development generally affecting airline companies;

The effects or changes described in the first, second and fourth bullets of the exceptions immediately above may be taken into account in determining whether there has occurred a material adverse effect to the extent such developments have, individually or in the aggregate, a disproportionate impact on such person relative to other participants in the industry in which such person operates (in which case only the incremental disproportionate impact may be taken into account).

The representations and warranties of each of the parties to the merger agreement will expire at the first effective time or the termination of the merger agreement.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Each of Allegiant and Sun Country will not, and will not permit any of its controlled affiliates and its directors, officers and employees to, and will instruct its other affiliates and representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any acquisition proposal or any inquiry that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• engage in, continue, participate in, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any discussions or negotiations with any person relating to any such acquisition proposal or inquiry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• furnish to any person any non-public information, or afford access to the books or records, officers or employees of each restricted party or its affiliates to, any person relating to any such acquisition proposal or inquiry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into any contract or nonbinding letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other agreement relating to any such acquisition proposal or inquiry (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement) (any such contract or agreement, we refer to as an "alternative acquisition agreement") or any contract requiring Allegiant or Sun Country to abandon or terminate the merger agreement or fail to consummate the first merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• release or permit the release of any person from, waive or permit the waiver of any right under, fail to enforce any provision of, or grant any consent or make any election under, any confidentiality, "standstill" or similar contract to which Allegiant or Sun Country or any of its subsidiaries is a party, subject to certain exceptions.

Each of Allegiant or Sun Country, as applicable, will promptly (and in any event within 36 hours of receipt) notify the other party if such party or any of its affiliates or representatives receives any (i) inquiry that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition proposal or (ii) acquisition proposal or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to result in an acquisition proposal, in each case, together with the identity of the person making any such indication, inquiry, acquisition proposal, proposal or offer, and a copy of any such written indication, inquiry, acquisition proposal, proposal or offer (or, if delivered orally, a written summary of the material terms thereof), or any draft agreement provided by such person. Each of Allegiant and Sun Country, as applicable, will keep the other party reasonably informed on a timely basis of the status and details of any such indication, inquiry, acquisition proposal, proposal or offer, including notifying the other party in writing within 36 hours after the occurrence of any material amendment, modification or change thereof and promptly furnishing copies of any written inquiries, correspondence and draft documentation and written summaries of any material oral inquiries or discussions.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, prior to obtaining stockholder approval of the share issuance proposal, in the case of Allegiant, or prior to obtaining stockholder approval of the merger agreement proposal, in the case of Sun Country, if Allegiant or Sun Country receives a bona fide written acquisition proposal that did not result from a breach of the non-solicitation provisions and such party's board of directors determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such acquisition proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a superior proposal, the applicable party may take the following actions: (i) enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with the person making such acquisition proposal and furnish to such person non-public information with respect to the restricted party pursuant to such acceptable confidentiality agreement; and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such acquisition proposal regarding such acquisition proposal. In such case, the applicable party must provide written notice to the other party of such determination promptly (and in any event within 36 hours) and any information concerning such party or its affiliates provided to such other person which was not previously provided to the other party or its affiliates or representatives, in each case, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such person.

#### Termination, Change of Recommendation, and Match Rights
Subject to the following paragraph, the Allegiant board may not change its recommendation that Allegiant stockholders vote "**FOR**" the share issuance proposal, and the Sun Country board may not change its recommendation that the Sun Country stockholders vote "**FOR**" the merger agreement proposal. Under the merger agreement, a change of recommendation will occur if the Allegiant board or the Sun Country board, including any committee thereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes, withholds, withdraws, qualifies, amends or modifies the applicable recommendation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fails to include the applicable recommendation in this joint proxy statement/prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adopts, approves, recommends, or declares advisable any alternative acquisition proposal;

137<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• takes any formal action or makes any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender or exchange offer (other than a recommendation against such tender or exchange offer or a "stop, look and listen" communication that reaffirms the applicable recommendation by the applicable board of directors or committee to its stockholders or any substantially similar communication), or fails to recommend against any tender or exchange offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if an acquisition proposal is publicly announced or disclosed (other than by the commencement of a tender or exchange offer), fails to recommend against such acquisition proposal or fails to reaffirm in a written public communication the applicable board's recommendation within the earlier of (i) 10 business days following the other party's written request to do so (which request may only be made once with respect to any particular acquisition proposal) and (ii) three business days prior to the Sun Country special meeting or the Allegiant special meeting, as applicable; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• submits any acquisition proposal or any matter relating thereto to a stockholder vote.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, at any time prior to obtaining the approval of the share issuance proposal, the Allegiant board may, or at any time prior to obtaining approval of the merger agreement proposal, the Sun Country board may, effect a change of recommendation or authorize Allegiant or Sun Country, respectively, to terminate the merger agreement if (i) Allegiant or Sun Country has received a bona fide written acquisition proposal that did not result from a breach that is reflected in a written definitive agreement that the person making such acquisition proposal has irrevocably committed to execute concurrently with the termination of the merger agreement or (ii) the Allegiant board or Sun Country board, as applicable, determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such acquisition proposal constitutes a superior proposal and that a failure to make a change of recommendation in response to such superior proposal or authorize Allegiant or Sun Country, respectively, to terminate the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement for such superior proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. Promptly following any such determination and, at least three business days prior to making any such change of recommendation or such authorization, the applicable party must notify the other party in writing of such determination, which notice will specify the material terms and conditions of such superior proposal, together with a copy of such written definitive agreement, the identity of the person making such acquisition proposal and explain in reasonable detail the reasons why the applicable board of directors has made such determination. If requested by the other party, during the three business day period following the delivery of such notice, the applicable party and its representatives must negotiate with the other party in good faith to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. In the event of any material revision to such acquisition proposal, the applicable party will be required to deliver a new written notice to the other party and to comply with the requirements of the merger agreement with respect to such new written notice prior to making any change of recommendation or authorizing termination of the merger agreement, as applicable, except that the prior notice period for any such subsequent written notice will be shortened from three business days to two business days. At the end of such three business day period (or such two business day period, as applicable) and taking into account any changes to the terms hereof proposed by the other party in writing, the applicable board of directors may effect a change of recommendation or authorization if it determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such acquisition proposal continues to constitute a superior proposal and that a failure of make a change of recommendation or authorize termination of the merger agreement in order to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement for a superior proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

In addition, at any time prior to obtaining the approval of the share issuance proposal, the Allegiant board may, or at any time prior to obtaining approval of the merger agreement proposal, the Sun Country board may, also effect a change of recommendation if the applicable board of directors determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that an intervening event with respect to such party has occurred and that the failure to make a change of recommendation in response to such intervening event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. Promptly following such determination and, at least three business days prior to making any such change of recommendation, the applicable party must notify the other party in writing of such determination, which notice will describe such intervening event in reasonable detail and explain in reasonable detail the reasons why the Allegiant board or Sun Country board, as applicable, has made such determination. If requested by Allegiant or Sun Country, as applicable, during the three business day period following the delivery of such notice, the applicable party and its representatives must negotiate with the other party in good faith to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. At the end of such three business day period and taking into account any changes to the terms

138<br>

------

of the merger agreement proposed by the other party in writing, the applicable board of directors may effect such change of recommendation if it determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that the failure to make a change of recommendation in response to such intervening event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

#### Stockholder Meetings
Each of Allegiant and Sun Country has agreed to duly establish a record date for and duly call, give notice of and hold a meeting of its stockholders as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 45 days) after this registration statement is declared effective under the Securities Act (which we refer to as the SEC effective date), for the purpose of voting on the merger agreement proposal or the share issuance proposal, as applicable. Allegiant and Sun Country will not, without the consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), adjourn or postpone, cancel, recess or reschedule, the Allegiant special meeting or Sun Country special meeting, as applicable, except that Allegiant or Sun Country may postpone or adjourn its special meeting after consultation with the other party (i) if a quorum has not been established, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which Allegiant or Sun Country determines in good faith is reasonably likely to be required under applicable law, (iii) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies or (iv) if required by law (subject to certain limitations as set forth in the merger agreement). In addition, Allegiant or Sun Country must postpone or adjourn the Allegiant special meeting or Sun Country special meeting, as applicable, at the other party's direction for a period of up to 10 business days if (i) the Allegiant board or Sun Country board has made a change of recommendation within five business days before the then-scheduled date of the Allegiant special meeting or Sun Country special meeting, as applicable, and (ii) the other party requests such a postponement or adjournment in writing. If requested, each of Allegiant and Sun Country has agreed to provide all voting tabulation reports relating to its special meeting and to otherwise keep the other party reasonably informed regarding the status of the solicitation and any material oral or written communications from or to the holders of shares of Allegiant or Sun Country common stock, as applicable.

If the Allegiant or Sun Country board has not made a change of recommendation, each of Allegiant and Sun Country, as applicable, has also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the merger agreement proposal or the share issuance proposal, as applicable, and to take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure approval from its stockholders as soon as reasonably practicable. If at the time of the originally scheduled date of the Allegiant or Sun Country special meeting, a quorum has not been established or Allegiant or Sun Country, as applicable, has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of common stock for the applicable stockholder approval, then Allegiant or Sun Country will, at the request of the other (to the extent permitted by law), adjourn its respective special meeting to a date specified by the other party. Without the prior written consent of the other party, or as required by applicable law, unless the Allegiant or Sun Country special meeting is also such party's annual meeting, the merger agreement proposal or the share issuance proposal, as applicable, will be the only matters (other than matters of procedure and matters required by law to be voted on by the stockholders of Allegiant or Sun Country in connection therewith) that each of Allegiant and Sun Country will propose to be acted on by its stockholders at its special meeting, and each of Allegiant and Sun Country will not call any special meeting of stockholders other than the Allegiant or Sun Country special meeting, as applicable.

Unless the merger agreement is validly terminated under the terms set forth in "—*Termination*," Allegiant and Sun Country has agreed to hold the Allegiant special meeting and the Sun Country special meeting, whether or not a change of recommendation has occurred.

#### Employee Matters
For a period of at least one year following the first effective time, Allegiant has agreed to provide each continuing employee of Sun Country (which we refer to as a non-union continuing employee) who is not covered by a Sun Country collective bargaining agreement (including any collective bargaining agreement and other labor union contracts (including all amendments thereto) that are finalized following the execution of the merger agreement) (i) a base salary or wage rate that is no less favorable than that provided by Sun Country to such continuing employee as of immediately prior to the first effective time, (ii) a target cash bonus opportunity and commissions opportunity that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the target cash bonus opportunity and commissions opportunity provided by Sun Country to such continuing employee as of immediately prior to the first effective time, (iii) target equity and equity-based compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than the equity and equity-based compensation opportunities that similarly situated employees of Allegiant and its subsidiaries receive as of immediately prior to the

139<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
first effective time and (iv) employee benefits (excluding deferred compensation, defined benefits, pension benefits or retiree health and welfare benefits) that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits provided to such continuing employee as of immediately prior to the first effective time. The employment terms and conditions of each continuing Sun Country employee whose employment is covered by a Sun Country collective bargaining agreement (including any collective bargaining agreement and other labor union contracts (including all amendments thereto) that are finalized following the execution of the merger agreement) will be governed by the applicable Sun Country collective bargaining agreement (or such collective bargaining agreement and other labor union contracts (including all amendments thereto) that become effective following the execution of the merger agreement).

Following the first effective time, Allegiant may, but is not required to, elect to satisfy its obligations in respect of employee benefits provided for non-union continuing employees by (i) continuing Sun Country benefit plans with respect to non-union continuing employees, (ii) permitting non-union continuing employees and, as applicable, their eligible dependents to participate in the employee benefit plans, programs or policies (including any plan intended to qualify within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code and any vacation, sick or personal time off plans or programs) of Allegiant, or (iii) a combination of clauses (i) and (ii). If Allegiant elects to have non-union continuing employees and their eligible dependents participate in Allegiant's benefit plans, programs or policies following the first effective time, then Allegiant will use commercially reasonable efforts to treat, and cause the applicable benefit plans in which non-union continuing employees are entitled to participate to treat, the service of non-union continuing employees with Sun Country or any of its predecessors to the extent previously recognized by Sun Country as of the date of the merger agreement attributable to any period before the first effective time as service rendered to Allegiant, the surviving entity or any subsidiary of Allegiant for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for other appropriate benefits including the applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation, except that such service need not be credited (i) for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan, (ii) for purposes of eligibility for, or benefit levels under, any retiree health or welfare plan or (iii) to the extent crediting of such service would result in a duplication of benefits. Allegiant has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any pre-existing conditions or actively at work or similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements or required physical examinations under any health or similar plan of Allegiant to be waived with respect to non-union continuing employees and their eligible dependents to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which non-union continuing employees participated as of immediately prior to the first effective time. Allegiant also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any deductibles paid by non-union continuing employees under any of Sun Country's health, dental, vision or similar plans in the plan year in which continuing employees and their eligible dependents are transitioned to Allegiant's health, dental, vision or similar plans to be credited towards deductibles under the health plans of Allegiant or any subsidiary of Allegiant. Following the first effective time, Allegiant agreed to be bound by, honor and comply with the terms of certain employment, severance and change in control plans, policies and agreements and other Sun Country benefit plans.

Except as otherwise required under the terms of any Sun Country collective bargaining agreement or applicable law, with respect to the calendar year in which the closing occurs, Sun Country has agreed to, or Allegiant has agreed to cause Sun Country to, pay out a pro rata portion of any annual or other short-term incentive programs in place in respect of such calendar year to the eligible participants, with the amount of such bonus to be determined based on the greater of actual performance or "target" level performance as determined through the closing (as determined by Sun Country's compensation committee in good faith), and pro-rated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in such calendar year prior to the closing and the denominator of which is 365. Such pro rata bonuses will be paid on or prior to Sun Country's or Allegiant's next regularly scheduled payroll date in the ordinary course (and in any event within 30 days following the closing) through the payroll of Sun Country or the surviving entity.

Following the closing, Allegiant will, or will cause one of its affiliates, to be bound by, comply with, and honor the terms of each of the Sun Country collective bargaining agreements and assume all obligations with respect to the Sun Country union matters to the extent required by applicable law, until such time as another collective bargaining agreement with respect to the craft or class of employees covered by the collective bargaining agreement takes effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Allegiant has agreed that the employee matters provisions will not be construed in any manner that would violate any applicable provisions of any Sun Country collective bargaining agreement or applicable law in respect of union continuing employees. Furthermore, Allegiant agreed to, or to cause one of its affiliates to, honor all applicable seniority list integration or similar rights contained in any Sun Country collective bargaining agreement in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms thereof and applicable law.

#### Indemnification and Insurance
For a period of six years from and after the first effective time, Allegiant and the surviving entity will maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of Sun Country's and any of its subsidiaries' articles or certificates of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents as in effect as of immediately prior to the first effective time or in any contract (including indemnification agreements) of Sun Country or its subsidiaries with any of their respective current or former directors, officers or employees as in effect immediately prior to the first effective time, and will not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the first effective time were current or former directors, officers or employees of Sun Country or any of its subsidiaries, and all rights to indemnification in respect of any action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period will continue until the final disposition of such action or resolution of such claim, even if beyond such six year period. From and after the first effective time, Allegiant will assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guarantee and stand surety for, and will cause the surviving entity and its subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the foregoing and following.

For a period of six years after the first effective time, each of Allegiant and the surviving entity will, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing or any related expenses) each current and former director or officer of Sun Country or any of its subsidiaries and each person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request of or for the benefit of Sun Country and its subsidiaries (or directors or officers of a member of Sun Country or its subsidiaries to the extent serving as fiduciaries with respect to any Sun Country benefit plan) when acting in such capacity, in each case, at or prior to the first effective time (we refer to each, together with such person's heirs, executors or administrators, and successors and assigns, as an "indemnified party") against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys' fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any action to each indemnified party to the fullest extent permitted by law following receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such indemnified party to repay such advanced amounts if it is ultimately determined by final and non-appealable adjudication that such indemnified party was not entitled to indemnification under the merger agreement), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, obligations, costs, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the first effective time (including acts or omissions in connection with any such indemnified party serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary in any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Sun Country or its subsidiaries). In the event of any such action, Allegiant and the surviving entity will cooperate with the indemnified party in the defense of any such action.

For a period of six years from and after the first effective time, Allegiant and the surviving entity will either cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by or for the benefit of Sun Country and its subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers or provide substitute policies for Sun Country and its subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of Sun Country and its subsidiaries, in either case, of not less than the existing coverage and having other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of Sun Country and its subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the first effective time (regardless of when such claims are brought) (with insurance carriers having at least an "A" rating by A.M. Best with respect to directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance), except that in no event will Allegiant or the surviving entity be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies more than 250% of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by Sun Country and its subsidiaries (which we refer to as the maximum amount). If the surviving entity is unable to obtain such insurance because its cost exceeds such maximum amount, it will obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for the years within such six-year period for a premium equal to such maximum amount. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the closing date, Sun Country may, at its option purchase, or Allegiant may, at its option request that Sun Country purchase, a six-year prepaid "tail" directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance policy for Sun Country and its subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of Sun Country and its subsidiaries, such tail policy to provide coverage in an amount not less than the existing coverage and to have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently

141<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
maintained by or for the benefit of Sun Country and its subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the first effective time, with premiums that do not exceed the maximum amount described above. Allegiant and the surviving entity will maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

In the event Allegiant, the surviving entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, Allegiant agreed that proper provision will be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, will assume the obligations of Allegiant with respect to indemnification and insurance.

Allegiant may not terminate or modify the obligations described above in a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee or other persons who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O insurance or the "tail" policy (and their respective heirs and representatives) without the prior written consent of such affected indemnitee or other person who is a beneficiary pursuant to the D&O insurance or the "tail" policy.

#### Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings
Each of Allegiant and Sun Country agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law to cause the conditions described under "—*Conditions to Completion of the Merger*" beginning on page [144](#tTM18) to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable (and prior to the outside date), including to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents from, any governmental entities that are required to consummate the mergers (including those in connection with the HSR Act, and any consents required to be obtained from, the FAA, DOT, FCC and DHS (including the TSA)).

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Allegiant agreed to take, and to cause its affiliates to take, promptly any and all steps reasonably necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act or applicable competition laws that may be asserted by any governmental entity against the proposed transactions so as to enable the parties to consummate the mergers as promptly as reasonably practicable, including to (i) contest, defend and appeal any proceedings brought by a governmental entity, whether judicial or administrative, challenging or seeking to restrain or prohibit the closing, (ii) divest, sell, license or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate and agree to sell, license or otherwise dispose of, assets, categories of assets, operations, locations, customers, rights, product lines, or businesses of Allegiant, its affiliates, or Sun Country, (iii) propose, take or agree to take (or omit to take) any actions that may limit the freedom of action of Allegiant, its affiliates, or Sun Country with respect to, or the ability of Allegiant, its affiliates or Sun Country to retain, operate, enter into or acquire one or more assets, categories of assets, operations, customers, product lines, or businesses, including hold separate and similar obligations and (iv) terminate, modify, amend or assign existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations (including in respect of governance) (any and all of (ii), (iii) and (iv), we refer to as a "remedy"), as may be reasonably required to obtain HSR clearance and, in each case, to propose, negotiate, enter, or offer to enter, into agreements and stipulate to the entry of an order or file appropriate applications with any governmental entity in connection with any of the foregoing and in the case of actions by or with respect to Sun Country or its business, by consenting to such action by Sun Country.

Notwithstanding the obligations described above, Allegiant and its subsidiaries are not required to (and Sun Country and its subsidiaries will not without Allegiant's prior written consent) take or cause to be taken, do or cause to be done, propose, negotiate, commit to, suffer, agree to or effect any remedy that (i) individually or in the aggregate with all other remedies, would or would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of (A) Allegiant and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (B) Sun Country and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (C) Allegiant and its subsidiaries and Sun Country and its subsidiaries, taken together as a whole (assuming such combined company is the size, scope and scale, and with the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition and results of operations, of Sun Country and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), or (ii) is not conditioned upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

In addition, Allegiant and Sun Country will not, and will not permit any of their respective subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in or otherwise make any investment in, or by any other manner, any person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire or make any investment in any assets, or enter into, significantly expand or publicly announce an agreement to form a joint venture, strategic alliance or strategic partnership with another person, which would reasonably be

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
expected to (i) materially increase the risk of not obtaining any required competition approval, (ii) materially increase the risk of any governmental entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement or (iii) delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement beyond the outside date.

Each of Allegiant and Sun Country also agreed that Allegiant, after reasonable consultation with Sun Country and consideration in good faith of the views of Sun Country, has the right to direct, devise, control and take the lead in (i) determining the timing of all required filings with governmental entities, (ii) determining and implementing the strategy for (including making all decisions with respect to) obtaining any approval from a governmental entity that is required to consummate the mergers and contesting, defending and appealing any legal proceeding by, before or involving any such governmental entity (including, in each case, determining the timing and strategy of proposing any, and the strategy for negotiating any, remedies) and (iii) responding to any request from, inquiry or investigation by (including coordinating with Sun Country with respect to the timing, nature and substance of all such responses) any governmental entity that has authority to enforce any law applicable to the proposed transactions.

#### Allegiant Board Composition
Immediately following the second effective time, the Allegiant board will take all actions necessary (i) to increase the size of the Allegiant board, as of immediately after the second effective time, by three members and (ii) to cause three individuals selected by Sun Country in writing no less than 15 business days prior to the closing, one of which will be Jude Bricker and the other two of which will be directors serving on the Sun Country board immediately prior to the first effective time. The Sun Country director nominees (other than Jude Bricker) must, among other things, be independent of the combined company under the applicable rules of Nasdaq, as determined by the Allegiant board and its nominating and governance committee, acting reasonably and in good faith, and reasonably acceptable to the nominating and governance committee of the Allegiant board.

#### Certain Tax Matters
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties intend that (i) the mergers, taken together, will be treated as a transaction that qualifies as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (ii) Sun Country and Allegiant will each be a party to such reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code. Each of Allegiant and Sun Country has agreed (and will cause their respective affiliates to) (A) use reasonable best efforts to cause the mergers, taken together, to constitute a transaction qualifying as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (B) not take any action, or fail to take any action, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the mergers, taken together, from constituting a transaction qualifying as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Unless otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, each of Allegiant and Sun Country (and their respective affiliates) have agreed to report the mergers, taken together, as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and will not take any inconsistent position therewith in any tax return.

#### Specific Performance
Each of Sun Country, on the one hand, and Allegiant and Merger Subs, on the other hand, agreed not to raise any objection to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in the merger agreement or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of the merger agreement on the basis that there is adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Each party further agreed that no other party or any other person will be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy, and each party irrevocably waived any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

#### Amendment; Extension; Waiver
The merger agreement may be amended, changed and supplemented in any and all respects, whether before or after obtaining the stockholder approvals, only by the written agreement of the parties, except that, after receipt of the Sun Country stockholder approval or the Allegiant stockholder approval, no amendment may be made which, by law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange, requires further approval by the holders of the Sun Country common stock or the holders of the Allegiant common stock, as applicable, without obtaining such further approval.

#### ALLEGIANT PROPOSALS

#### Proposal 1: The Share Issuance Proposal

#### (Proposal 1 on Allegiant Proxy Card)
Allegiant stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on the share issuance proposal, a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Allegiant common stock pursuant to the merger agreement. For a summary and detailed information regarding the share issuance proposal, see the information about the proposed transactions and the merger agreement throughout this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the information set forth in sections entitled "The Proposed Transactions" beginning on page [68](#tTPT) and "*The Merger Agreement*" beginning on page [127](#tTMA). A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Under Nasdaq Rule 5635(a), a Nasdaq-listed company is required to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of another company if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock or voting power outstanding before such issuance of shares.

The number of shares of Allegiant common stock issuable as consideration for the mergers is expected to exceed the abovementioned threshold. At the effective time of the first merger, each outstanding share of Sun Country common stock (except for shares held in the treasury of Sun Country, all shares owned of record by Allegiant, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, and dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration (i.e., the per-share cash consideration of $4.10 in cash, without interest, and the per-share stock consideration of 0.1557 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Allegiant common stock). If the first merger is completed, it is currently estimated that Allegiant will issue or reserve for issuance approximately 10.4 million shares of Allegiant common stock in connection with the first merger, which will exceed 20% of the shares of Allegiant common stock outstanding before such issuance.

Approval of the share issuance proposal by Allegiant stockholders is required to complete the proposed transactions. If the share issuance proposal is not approved, the mergers will not be completed.

If you sign and return a proxy and do not indicate how you wish to vote on any proposal, your shares will be voted in favor of the share issuance proposal.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of Allegiant common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the Allegiant special meeting, as required by Nasdaq Rule 5635, will be required to approve the share issuance proposal (assuming a quorum is present).

#### THE ALLEGIANT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ALLEGIANT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL .

#### Proposal 2: The Allegiant Adjournment Proposal

#### (Proposal 2 on Allegiant Proxy Card)
Allegiant stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on the Allegiant adjournment proposal, a proposal that will give the Allegiant board authority to adjourn the Allegiant special meeting from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes to approve the share issuance proposal at the time of the Allegiant special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If the Allegiant adjournment proposal is approved, the Allegiant special meeting could be adjourned to any date. Allegiant could adjourn the Allegiant special meeting and any adjourned session of the Allegiant special meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from Allegiant stockholders who have previously voted.

If the Allegiant special meeting is adjourned, Allegiant stockholders who have already submitted their proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use. If you sign and return a proxy and do not indicate how you wish to vote on any proposal, or if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the share issuance proposal but do not indicate a choice on the Allegiant adjournment proposal, your shares will be voted in favor of the Allegiant adjournment proposal. If you indicate, however, that you wish to vote against the share issuance proposal, your shares of Allegiant common stock will only be voted in favor of the Allegiant adjournment proposal if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of the Allegiant adjournment proposal.

#### SUN COUNTRY PROPOSALS

#### Proposal 1: The Merger Agreement Proposal

#### (Proposal 1 on Sun Country Proxy Card)
Sun Country stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on the merger agreement proposal, a proposal to adopt the merger agreement and the proposed transactions. For a summary and detailed information regarding the merger agreement proposal, see the information about the mergers and the merger agreement throughout this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the information set forth in sections entitled "*The Proposed Transactions*" beginning on page [68](#tTPT) and "*The Merger Agreement*" beginning on page [127](#tTMA). A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Approval of the merger agreement proposal by Sun Country stockholders is required to complete the proposed transactions. If the merger agreement proposal is not approved, the mergers will not be completed.

The approval of the merger agreement proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock entitled to vote thereon at the Sun Country special meeting, assuming a quorum is present.

#### The Sun Country board unanimously recommends that Sun Country stockholders vote "FOR" the merger agreement proposal .

#### Proposal 2: The Merger-Related Compensation Proposal

#### (Proposal 2 on Sun Country Proxy Card)
Sun Country stockholders are being asked to consider and vote, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, on the merger-related compensation proposal, a proposal to approve the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers of Sun Country in connection with the proposed transactions, as discussed in "*The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions*," including the footnotes to the table and the associated narrative discussion.

The Sun Country board unanimously recommends that Sun Country stockholders approve the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the named executive officers of Sun Country in connection with the mergers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K in the table in the section of the joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled "*The Proposed Transactions—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions—Interests of Sun Country Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transactions*" including the footnotes to the table and the associated narrative discussion, and the agreements and plans pursuant to which such compensation may be paid or become payable, is hereby APPROVED."

The vote on the merger-related compensation proposal is a vote separate and apart from the votes to approve the other proposals being presented at the Sun Country special meeting and is not a condition to the closing. Accordingly, you may vote to approve the merger agreement proposal and vote not to approve the merger-related compensation proposal and vice versa. Because the vote on the merger-related compensation proposal is advisory only, it will not be binding on Sun Country or Allegiant. Accordingly, if the merger agreement is approved and the mergers are completed, the merger-related compensation will be payable, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, regardless of the outcome of the vote on the merger-related compensation proposal.

The approval of the merger-related compensation proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Sun Country special meeting and entitled to vote thereon at the Sun Country special meeting, assuming a quorum is present; however, such vote is non-binding and advisory only.

#### Proposal 3: The Sun Country Adjournment Proposal

#### (Proposal 3 on Sun Country Proxy Card)
Sun Country stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on the Sun Country adjournment proposal, which will give the Sun Country board authority to adjourn the Sun Country special meeting from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies, in the event that there are not sufficient votes to approve the merger agreement proposal at the time of the Sun Country special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If the Sun Country adjournment proposal is approved, the Sun Country special meeting could be adjourned to any date. Sun Country could adjourn the Sun Country special meeting and any adjourned session of the Sun Country special meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from Sun Country stockholders who have previously voted.

If the Sun Country special meeting is adjourned, Sun Country stockholders who have already submitted their proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use. If you sign and return a proxy and do not indicate how you wish to vote on any proposal, or if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of the merger agreement proposal but do not indicate a choice on the Sun Country adjournment proposal, your shares will be voted in favor of the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

The vote on the Sun Country adjournment proposal is separate and apart from the votes to approve the other proposals being presented at the Sun Country special meeting and is not a condition to the closing.

The approval of the Sun Country adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Sun Country common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Sun Country special meeting and entitled to vote on the Sun Country adjournment proposal, whether or not there is a quorum.

#### The Sun Country board unanimously recommends that Sun Country stockholders vote "FOR" the Sun Country adjournment proposal.

Holders of Allegiant common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

Except (i) for the elections of directors (as described below) and (ii) as otherwise provided by the rights and preferences of any class or series of stock authorized by the Allegiant board or under applicable law or stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes cast of Allegiant capital stock represented at a duly held meeting and entitled to vote on a matter is required in order to approve such matter.

#### Election of Directors
Pursuant to the Allegiant bylaws, each director is elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to the director's election at any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, except that if, as of the 10th day preceding the date the notice of the meeting is first sent to Allegiant's stockholders, the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors are elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

#### Nominating Directors
A stockholder or a group of stockholders, that has continuously owned at least 5% of the common stock for at least three years, may nominate and include in the proxy materials a number of directors not to exceed 20% of the number of directors then in office (or at least one, if 20% is less than one), provided that the stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the Allegiant bylaws. Nominations by stockholders must be preceded by notification in writing received by the Secretary of Allegiant not less than 120 days prior to any meeting of stockholders called for the election of directors, and must include the information required by the bylaws and applicable securities laws. See also "—*Director nominations under Allegiant's proxy access bylaw*" beginning on page [168](#tDNUAPAB) for further information on the process by which stockholders may nominate candidates for election to the Allegiant board at a meeting of Allegiant stockholders.

The Allegiant bylaws provide that a special meeting of the stockholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or by a majority of the Allegiant board in office, and may be called by the Secretary upon written request by one or more stockholders of record that, at the time a request is delivered, collectively own at least

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
25% of all of the shares of Allegiant common stock entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting, subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in the bylaws. The business transacted at any special meeting is limited to the purpose(s) stated in the valid special meeting request and any additional matters that the Allegiant board determines to include in Allegiant's notice of the meeting.

If a request for a special meeting involves the nomination of one or more directors, the Allegiant bylaws require that the nominating stockholder(s) provide additional information, including any information required by the applicable securities laws, regarding each stockholder nominee.

#### Advance Notice Requirements
The Allegiant bylaws include provisions applicable to certain stockholder activities, including the submission of binding stockholder proposals, nominating candidates to serve as directors at annual meetings of stockholders, and submission of other matters to be considered at the annual meeting of stockholders.

Generally, a timely notice regarding the submission of binding stockholder proposals, director nominees, and other business to be considered at an annual meeting of stockholders (other than non-binding proposals submitted pursuant to, and in compliance with, Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act) must be delivered to the Secretary at Allegiant's principal executive offices not less than 120 days prior to the date of the meeting of stockholders.

In addition to timely notice, stockholders must satisfy the applicable provisions of the NRS and the Allegiant bylaws, including (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on Allegiant's books, of the stockholder proposing such business, and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (iii) the class and number of shares of Allegiant common stock which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder of record and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, and (iv) any material interest of such stockholder of record and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business. If the stockholder submission involves the nomination of one or more directors for consideration at the annual meeting, the Allegiant bylaws require that the nominating stockholder(s) provide additional information, including any information required by the applicable securities laws, regarding each stockholder nominee.

#### Liquidation Rights
Any preferred stock would be senior to the common stock as to distributions upon Allegiant's voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets, or winding up. After distribution in full of the preferential amounts to be distributed to holders of preferred stock, holders of common stock will be entitled to receive all of Allegiant's remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders ratably in proportion to the numbers of shares held by them, respectively, in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets, or winding up.

#### Stockholder Action by Written Consent
As permitted by NRS Section 228 78.320, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders can be taken without a meeting if documented by one or more written consents signed by persons who would be entitled to vote at such meeting and who collectively own Allegiant shares having the voting power to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all stockholders entitled to vote were present and voted.

#### Limited Ownership and Voting by Foreign Owners
To comply with restrictions imposed by federal law on foreign ownership and control of U.S. airlines, Allegiant's articles of incorporation and bylaws restrict ownership, voting, and control of shares of Allegiant's capital stock by non-U.S. citizens. The restrictions imposed by federal law and DOT policy require that Allegiant be owned and controlled by U.S. citizens; that no more than 25% of Allegiant's voting stock be owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by persons or entities who are not U.S. citizens, as defined in 49 U.S.C. § 40102(a)(15); that Allegiant be under the actual control of U.S. citizens; and that the voting rights of shares owned or controlled by non-U.S. citizens in excess of the permitted percentage are automatically suspended. The Allegiant bylaws provide for the maintenance of a separate "Foreign Stock Record" for shares known to be owned or controlled by non-U.S. citizens, and require non-U.S. citizens to register their shares on such record. In no event shall shares in excess of the permitted percentage be entered on the Foreign Stock Record, and if the number of shares registered on the Foreign Stock Record exceeds the

156<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
permitted percentage, shares will be removed in reverse chronological order based on the date of registration until the number of shares registered does not exceed the permitted percentage. If at any time the number of shares known to be owned or controlled by non-U.S. citizens exceeds the permitted percentage, the voting rights of such shares not registered on the Foreign Stock Record are automatically suspended. The corporation may require holders of record or beneficial owners to certify their citizenship status, and in the absence of such certification, may presume that the shares are owned or controlled by non-U.S. citizens.

#### Miscellaneous
The common stock is not redeemable, has no preemptive or conversion rights and is not liable for further assessments or calls. All outstanding shares of Allegiant common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Allegiant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada and Sun Country is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Allegiant will continue to be a Nevada corporation following the completion of the mergers and will be governed by the NRS.

Upon completion of the first merger, Sun Country stockholders immediately prior to the first effective time with shares converting into the right to receive the merger consideration will become Allegiant stockholders.

#### DATES FOR SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2026 ANNUAL MEETING

#### Allegiant
<u>Proposals for inclusion in Allegiant's 2026 proxy materials pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8</u>: Allegiant currently expects to hold its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders in June 2026 and to mail proxy materials in May 2026. To be eligible for inclusion in Allegiant's proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholder proposals must have been received at Allegiant's principal executive offices at 1201 N. Town Center Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89144, Attention: Robert Goldberg, Secretary, not later than January 8, 2026.

<u>Director nominations under Allegiant's proxy access bylaw</u>: The Allegiant bylaws provide for "proxy access" for certain director candidates by stockholders. Under the Allegiant bylaws, a stockholder or group of stockholders who have continuously held for three years a number of shares of Allegiant common stock equal to 5% of the outstanding shares of Allegiant's common stock may request that Allegiant include in the Allegiant proxy materials director nominees representing up to 20% of the current number of directors (or if such amount is not a whole number, the next lower whole number, but not less than one director). Eligible stockholders wishing to have such candidates included in the Allegiant Proxy Statement for the Allegiant 2026 annual meeting of stockholders must provide advance notice, including the information and representations required by the proxy access provisions set forth in the Allegiant bylaws, to the Secretary of Allegiant. If the Allegiant 2026 annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, then notice must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the Allegiant 2026 annual meeting is first made by the company. With respect to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, notice must be received no earlier than December 28, 2025, and no later than February 26, 2026.

<u>Other proposals and nominations for Allegiant's 2026 annual meeting</u>: For any stockholder proposal not submitted under SEC Rule 14a-8, or any nomination of directors not submitted pursuant to Allegiant's "proxy access" bylaw, written notice in compliance with the Allegiant bylaws must be received by the Secretary of Allegiant no later than February 26, 2026, and must otherwise provide the information and comply with the procedures set forth in the Allegiant bylaws.

Stockholders are also advised to review the Allegiant bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. A copy of the full text of the bylaw provisions discussed above may be obtained from the Governance Documents subsection of the Governance page of Allegiant's website at *https://ir.allegiantair.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx*. The Allegiant bylaws are also on file with the SEC and are available through its website at *www.sec.gov*.

#### Sun Country
A holder of Sun Country common stock who wished to present a proposal for inclusion in Sun Country's proxy statement for its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act was required to deliver the proposal to Sun Country's principal executive offices (Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc., 2005 Cargo Road, Minneapolis, MN 55450) to the attention of the Secretary no later than the close of business on December 26, 2025, unless the date of Sun Country's 2026 annual meeting is more than 30 days before or after June 11, 2026, in which case the stockholder proposal must be received a reasonable time before Sun Country begins to print and mail proxy materials.

For any stockholder proposal or director nomination that is not submitted for inclusion in Sun Country's proxy statement pursuant to the process set forth above but is instead sought to be presented directly at Sun Country's 2026 annual meeting, stockholders are advised to review the Sun Country bylaws as they contain requirements with respect to advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. The Sun Country bylaws provide that stockholders who are seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders and stockholders who are seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders must provide timely notice thereof in writing, other than any nomination for a director by Amazon.com Services, LLC pursuant to the Warrant to Purchase Shares and the Amended and Restated Air Transportation Services Agreement between Sun Country and Amazon.com Services, LLC and its affiliates. To be timely, a stockholder's notice generally must be delivered to and received at Sun Country's principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders. The deadline for delivery of a stockholder proposal pursuant to the Sun Country bylaws in connection with Sun Country's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders would be

168<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
between February 11, 2026, and March 13, 2026. Alternatively, in the event that the date of such meeting is advanced by more than 30 days prior to, or delayed by more than 60 days after, the anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder's notice to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

In addition to satisfying the advance notice procedures in the Sun Country bylaws and other requirements under the Exchange Act, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than Sun Country's nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 9, 2026 (unless the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders is adjourned or postponed to a later date).

Sun Country has not set a date for Sun Country's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

#### HOUSEHOLDING OF JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or notice, as applicable, addressed to those stockholders. As permitted by the Exchange Act, only one copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus is being delivered to stockholders residing at the same address, unless stockholders have notified the company whose shares they hold of their desire to receive multiple copies of the joint proxy statement/prospectus. This process, which is commonly referred to as householding, potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate joint proxy statement/prospectus, or if you are receiving multiple copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and wish to receive only one, please contact the company whose shares you hold at their address identified below. Each of Allegiant and Sun Country will promptly deliver, upon oral or written request, a separate copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to any stockholder residing at an address to which only one copy was mailed. Requests for additional copies should be directed to: Secretary, Allegiant Travel Company, 1201 N. Town Center Dr., Las Vegas, Nevada 89144, or contact the Secretary of Allegiant by telephone at (702)-830-8877, or to: Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 2005 Cargo Road, Minneapolis, MN 55450, or contact Sun Country by telephone at (651) 681-4837.

#### CONVERSION OF SECURITIES
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 <u>Conversion of Securities</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Effect of First Merger on Company Common Stock</u>. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Subs, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each share ("<u>Share</u>") of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share ("<u>Company</u> <u>Common Stock</u>"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with <u>Section 2.1(a)(iii)</u> and Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such Shares in the case of certificated Shares, or automatically in the case of Book-Entry Shares formerly representing such Shares, in accordance with <u>Section 2.3</u>, (A) $4.10 in cash, without interest (the "<u>Per Share Cash Consideration</u>") and (B) subject to <u>Section 2.2</u>, 0.1557 (the "<u>Merger Exchange Ratio</u>") fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form (the "<u>Per Share Stock Consideration</u>" and, together with Per Share Cash Consideration, the "<u>Merger Consideration</u>");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate and Book-Entry Share that immediately prior to the First Effective Time represented any of the Shares (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with <u>Section 2.1(a)(iii)</u> and Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the right to receive, pursuant to <u>Section 2.2</u>, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u> (the "<u>Fractional Share</u> <u>Consideration</u>") and any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the First Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company in accordance with this Agreement and which remain unpaid or undistributed at the First Effective Time; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) all Shares that are held in the treasury of the Company, and all Shares owned of record by Parent, Merger Subs or any of their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries, will be cancelled and will cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Effect of First Merger on Merger Sub 1 Common Stock</u>. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any securities of Parent or the Company, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub 1 (the "<u>Merger Sub Common Stock</u>") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and such shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the First Effective Time, all certificates representing Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the preceding sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Effect of Second Merger</u>. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any securities of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, (i) each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor and (ii) the members' interests of Merger Sub 2 outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become the members' interests of the Surviving Entity, which shall constitute 100% of the outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity. From and after the Second Effective Time, the members' interests of Merger Sub 2 shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of members' interests into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 <u>No Fractional Shares</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the First Merger, and such fractional shares shall not entitle the holder thereof to (a) any whole or fractional share of Parent Common Stock, (b) vote any whole or fractional share of Parent Common Stock or (c) any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. The Exchange Agent,

A-8<br>

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
acting as agent for the holders of Shares that otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock under <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u>, shall aggregate all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise have been required to be distributed under <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u> and cause them to be sold on Nasdaq at then-prevailing prices, and each holder of Shares that otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock under <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u> shall, in lieu thereof, be entitled to receive from the proceeds from such sales by the Exchange Agent, rounded down to the nearest whole cent and without interest, an amount equal to such holder's proportionate interest in the proceeds of such sales. As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Shares in lieu of any fractional share interests in Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the holders of converted Shares entitled to receive such cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 <u>Payment and Issuance of Merger Consideration; Surrender of Company Certificates</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Exchange Agent</u>. (i) Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent will designate a reputable bank or trust company, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as the exchange agent for purposes of effecting the payment and issuance of the Merger Consideration in connection with the First Merger (the "<u>Exchange Agent</u>"). At or immediately prior to the First Effective Time (but in any event substantially concurrently with the First Effective Time), Parent will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (A) the shares of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form issuable pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u> in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock (excluding any Fractional Share Consideration) and (B) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration to which holders of Shares will be entitled at the First Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement and the Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with <u>Section 2.2</u> and (ii) after the First Effective Time, on the appropriate payment date, if applicable, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent an amount of cash equal to the amount of any dividends or other distributions payable under <u>Section 2.3(g)</u> on the shares of Parent Common Stock deposited under the foregoing clause (i) (collectively, the "<u>Exchange Fund</u>"). The cash portion of the Exchange Fund will be invested by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Entity, in (1) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than thirty (30) days; (2) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, respectively; or (3) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker's acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available, pending payment thereof by the Exchange Agent to the holders of the Shares). Earnings resulting from such investments will be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such earnings will accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares. Any losses resulting from such investments shall not impact Parent's obligations under this <u>Article 2</u>, and in the event of any such losses, Parent shall take all actions necessary to cause to deposit into the Exchange Fund sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock or cash, as needed, to satisfy Parent's obligations under this <u>Article 2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Procedures for Surrender</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Certificates</u>. As promptly as practicable after the First Effective Time (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent will cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that represented Shares (the "<u>Certificates</u>"), which Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the First Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement, (i) a letter of transmittal, which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates (if any) will pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and will otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, the holder of such Certificates will be entitled to receive (A) cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration, <u>multiplied by</u> the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate, (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive for the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate under <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u> (after taking into account all other

A-9<br>

------

Certificates surrendered by such holder under this <u>Section 2.3(b)(i)</u>), (C) any dividends or other distributions payable under <u>Section 2.3(g)</u> and (D) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable under <u>Section 2.2</u>. Any Certificates so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Shares formerly represented by such Certificates (except for the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, under <u>Section 2.3(g)</u>, and the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to <u>Section 2.2</u>. If payment of the Merger Consideration (and any other amounts payable pursuant to this <u>Article 2</u>) is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it will be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or will be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment will have paid any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration (and any other amounts payable pursuant to this <u>Article 2</u>) to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or will have established to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable. Until surrendered, each Certificate will be deemed at any time after the First Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement and the right to receive the Fractional Share Consideration and any dividends or other distributions under <u>Section 2.3(g)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Book-Entry Shares</u>. Any holder of non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry ("<u>Book-</u><u>Entry Shares</u>") shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration (and any other amounts payable pursuant to this <u>Article 2</u>) that such holder is entitled to receive. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Book-Entry Shares shall automatically upon the First Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days thereafter), (1) cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration, <u>multiplied by</u> the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Book-Entry Shares, (2) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive for such Book-Entry Shares under <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u>, (3) any dividends or distributions payable under <u>Section 2.3(g)</u> and (4) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable under <u>Section 2.2</u>. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares will only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares</u>. At the First Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed and thereafter there will be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the First Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the First Effective Time, Certificates formerly representing Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent for any reason, then (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>) they will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Termination of Exchange Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability</u>. At any time following the first anniversary of the First Effective Time, the Surviving Entity will be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest accrued with respect thereto) not disbursed to holders of Certificates, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Entity (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration, including any Fractional Share Consideration and any dividends or other distributions under <u>Section 2.3(g)</u>, payable upon due surrender of their Certificates and compliance with the procedures in <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>. If, prior to six (6) years after the First Effective Time (or otherwise immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), any holder of Certificates has not complied with the procedures in<u> </u><u>Section 2.3(b)</u> to receive payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, the payment in respect of such Certificates will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of

A-10<br>

------

the Surviving Entity, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Entity nor the Exchange Agent will be liable to any holder of a Certificate for Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates</u>. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u> hereof; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a customary affidavit of loss and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Subs, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Withholding Rights</u>. Each of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and any other applicable withholding agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or any other Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any applicable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely and properly remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares or other Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Dividends or Distributions with Respect to Parent Common Stock</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable hereunder, until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond), there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) by the Exchange Agent at the time of delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time but prior to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>, and a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Subject to applicable Law, there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Book-Entry Shares under this <u>Article 2</u>, without interest, (i) by the Exchange Agent at the time of delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time but prior to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>, and a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 <u>Dissenting Shares</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares, the "<u>Dissenting Shares</u>") will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and will instead represent the right to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to receive such payment in respect of such Dissenting Shares will cease and such Dissenting Shares will be deemed to have been converted, as of the First Effective Time, into and will be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Merger Consideration and the right to receive the Fractional Share Consideration and any

A-11<br>

------

dividends or other distributions under <u>Section 2.3(g)</u> and shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. The Company will give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent will have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 <u>Treatment of Company Equity Awards; Stock Plans</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Treatment of Company Options</u>. Except as provided in <u>Section 2.5(d)</u>, effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each award of an option to purchase a share of Company Common Stock granted pursuant to any Company Equity Award Plan (each, a "<u>Company Option</u>"), that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (whether vested or unvested and whether the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock is less than, equal to, or greater than the Merger Consideration Closing Value) shall without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed and converted into an option to purchase from Parent a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the Merger Consideration Closing Value by the Parent Measurement Price, at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the Parent Measurement Price by the Merger Consideration Closing Value (with the resulting price per share rounded up to the nearest whole cent) (each, as so adjusted, a "<u>Converted Parent Option</u>"). Each such Converted Parent Option so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time; <u>provided</u> that Parent shall convert Company Options into Converted Parent Options in a manner intended to not cause the Converted Parent Options to be treated as the grant of a new stock right for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Treatment of Company RSU Awards</u>. Except as provided in <u>Section 2.5(d)</u>, effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units denominated in Company Common Stock subject to time-based vesting restrictions granted pursuant to the Company Equity Award Plans (other than, for clarity, Company PRSU Awards, the treatment of which in connection with the Mergers shall be as provided in <u>Section 2.5(c)</u>) (each, a "<u>Company RSU Award</u>"), shall without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into a Parent restricted stock unit award (a "<u>Parent RSU</u> <u>Award</u>") denominated in Parent Common Stock in accordance with this <u>Section 2.5(b)</u>. Each such Parent RSU Award as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the Company RSU Award immediately prior to the First Effective Time. As of the First Effective Time, each such Parent RSU Award as so assumed and converted shall represent the right to receive upon vesting a certain number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the related Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (B) the Merger Consideration Closing Value, by (ii) the Parent Measurement Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Treatment of Company PRSU Awards</u>. Except as provided in <u>Section 2.5(d)</u>, effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit award denominated in Company Common Stock subject to performance-based vesting restrictions granted pursuant to the Company Equity Award Plans (other than, for clarity, Company RSU Awards, the treatment of which in connection with the Mergers shall be as provided in <u>Section 2.5(b)</u>) (each, a "<u>Company PRSU Award</u>"), that is then-outstanding prior to the First Effective Time, shall without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into a Parent time-based restricted stock unit award (a "<u>Parent PRSU Award</u>") denominated in Parent Common Stock in accordance with this <u>Section 2.5(c)</u>. Each such Parent PRSU Award as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including "double trigger" vesting) as applied to the Company PRSU Award immediately prior to the First Effective Time; <u>provided</u> that there shall no longer be any performance-based vesting conditions, and the Parent PRSU Award shall remain eligible to vest on the last day of the performance period applicable to the Company PRSU Award (as set forth in the applicable award agreement).

A-12<br>

------

As of the First Effective Time, each such Parent PRSU Award as so assumed and converted shall represent the right to receive upon vesting a certain number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the related Company PRSU Award as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (which shall be deemed to be equal to 125% of the "target" number of Company PRSUs Awards granted), <u>multiplied by</u> (B) the Merger Consideration Closing Value, by (ii) the Parent Measurement Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Non-Employee Holders</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 2.5</u>, each Company Equity Award held by a holder who, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, is not an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any former employee and any non-employee director) (each, a "<u>Non-Employee Holder</u>") shall not be assumed by Parent under this <u>Section 2.5</u> and shall instead become fully vested (to the extent not yet vested) and cancelled as of the First Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u> (including the same form of consideration payable in respect of shares of Company Common Stock), as follows: (i) each Company Option held by such Non-Employee Holder shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration otherwise payable in respect of the Net Option Shares pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u>; (ii) each Company RSU Award held by such Non-Employee Holder shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such award (determined as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time) pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u>; and (iii) each Company PRSU Award held by such Non-Employee Holder shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such award as determined under clause (i) of <u>Section 2.5(c)</u> pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)(i)</u> (collectively, the "<u>Non-Employee</u> <u>Holder Consideration</u>"). Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to pay through the payroll system of the Surviving Entity (to the extent applicable) to each such Non-Employee Holder the Non-Employee Holder Consideration, as applicable, less any required withholding Taxes and without interest, within ten (10) Business Days following the First Effective Time; <u>provided</u> that, to the extent payment within such time or on such date would trigger a Tax or a penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payments shall be made on the earliest date that payment would not trigger such Tax or penalty. The aggregate amount required to be withheld in respect of Taxes in respect of the Non-Employee Holder Consideration shall be applied first to reduce the aggregate Merger Consideration payable in cash and then, only if and to the extent such withholding amount exceeds such cash portion, to reduce the portion of the Merger Consideration that is payable in shares of Parent Common Stock. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be withheld shall be determined based on the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Termination of Company Equity Award Plans</u>. After the First Effective Time, all Company Equity Award Plans will be terminated, and no further Company Options, Company RSU Awards or Company PRSU Awards or other rights with respect to Shares will be granted thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Corporate Actions</u>. At or prior to the First Effective Time, the Company, Parent, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) and the Parent Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof), as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this <u>Section 2.5</u> The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the First Effective Time, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor the Surviving Entity will be required to deliver to any Person any Shares or other Equity Interests of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or any other Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options, Company RSU Awards, Company PRSU Awards or other rights with respect to Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 <u>Filing of Form S-8</u>. On the Closing Date, Parent shall file an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to Parent RSU Awards and Converted Parent Options assumed by Parent pursuant to <u>Section 2.5</u> that are held by employees (within the meaning of Form S-8) of Parent or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the Parent RSU Awards or Converted Parent Options that are held by employees (within the meaning of Form S-8) of Parent or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and are assumed and converted in accordance with <u>Section 2.5</u> remain outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7 <u>Treatment of Company Warrant</u>. The Parties agree that the Company Warrant shall be treated in accordance with the terms thereof in connection with the consummation of the Mergers.

Nothing in this <u>Section 2.8</u> shall be construed to permit any Party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision hereof.

The Company agrees that, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with <u>Article 7</u>, the Company's obligations to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting pursuant to this <u>Section 5.5</u> will not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or by any Change of Recommendation, subject to the express exceptions under this <u>Section 5.5</u>.

Parent agrees that, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with <u>Article 7</u>, Parent's obligations to hold the Parent Stockholder Meeting pursuant to this <u>Section 5.5</u> will not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to Parent of any Acquisition Proposal or by any Change of Recommendation, subject to the express exceptions under this <u>Section 5.5</u>.

A-59<br>

------

Parent Group receive as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, and (iv) employee benefits (excluding deferred compensation, defined benefits, pension benefits or retiree health and welfare benefits) that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. The employment terms and conditions of each Continuing Employee whose employment is covered by a Company CBA (including any collective bargaining agreement and other labor union Contracts (including all amendments thereto) that are finalized following the execution of this Agreement) (each a, "<u>Union Continuing Employee</u>" and collectively, "<u>Union Continuing Employees</u>") shall be governed by the applicable Company CBA (or such collective bargaining agreement and other labor union Contracts (including all amendments thereto) that become effective following the execution of this Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As of and following the First Effective Time, Parent may, but is not required to, satisfy its obligations pursuant to <u>Section 5.8(a)</u> in respect of employee benefits provided for Non-Union Continuing Employees by (i) continuing Company Benefit Plans with respect to Continuing Employees, (ii) permitting Non-Union Continuing Employees and, as applicable, their eligible dependents, to participate in the employee benefit plans, programs or policies (including any plan intended to qualify within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code and any vacation, sick, or personal time off plans or programs) of the Parent Group, or (iii) a combination of clauses (i) and (ii). To the extent Parent elects to have Non-Union Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents participate in its employee benefit plans, program or policies following the First Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to use commercially reasonable efforts to, treat, and cause the applicable benefit plans in which Non-Union Continuing Employees are entitled to participate to treat, the service of Non-Union Continuing Employees with the Company or any of its predecessors to the extent previously recognized by the Company as of the date hereof attributable to any period before the First Effective Time as service rendered to Parent, the Surviving Entity or any Subsidiary of Parent for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for other appropriate benefits including the applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation, except that such service need not be credited (x) for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan, (y) for purposes of eligibility for, or benefit levels under, any retiree health or welfare plan or (z) to the extent crediting of such service would result in a duplication of benefits. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any pre-existing conditions or actively at work or similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements or required physical examinations under any health or similar plan of Parent to be waived with respect to Non-Union Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which Non-Union Continuing Employees participated as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. Parent shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any deductibles paid by Non-Union Continuing Employees under any of the Company's health, dental, vision or similar plans in the plan year in which Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents are transitioned to Parent's health, dental, vision or similar plans to be credited towards deductibles under the health plans of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If requested by Parent in accordance with <u>Section 5.8(c)</u> of the Company Disclosure Schedule, then subject to and in accordance with the terms thereof, the Company will take the actions set forth on <u>Section 5.8(c)</u> of the Company Disclosure Schedule related to certain Company Benefit Plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Except as otherwise required under the terms of any Company CBA or applicable Law, with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, the Company shall, or Parent shall cause the Company to, pay out a pro rata portion of any annual or other short-term incentive programs in place in respect of such calendar year (the "<u>Closing Year Bonus Programs</u>") to the Eligible Participants (as defined below), with the amount of such bonus to be determined based on the greater of actual performance or "target" level performance as determined through the Closing (as determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith), and pro-rated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in such calendar year prior to the Closing and the denominator of which is 365 (the "<u>Pro Rata Bonuses</u>"). Pro Rata Bonuses shall be paid on or prior to the Company's or Parent's next regularly scheduled payroll date in the ordinary course (and in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing) through the payroll of the Company or the Surviving Entity. For purposes of the foregoing, "<u>Eligible</u> <u>Participants</u>" means each employee who participates in a Closing Year Bonus Program and who is employed by the Company as of the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Parent hereby acknowledges that the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby will constitute a "change in control" or "change of control" (or other similar phrase) for

A-60<br>

------

purposes of each Company Benefit Plan. From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to, be bound by, honor and comply with the terms of each employment, severance and change in control plan, policy and agreement and other Company Benefit Plan listed in <u>Section 5.8(e)</u> of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Following the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates, to be bound by, comply with, and honor the terms of each of the Company CBAs and assume all obligations with respect to the Company Union Matters to the extent required by applicable Law, until such time as another collective bargaining agreement with respect to the craft or class of employees covered by the collective bargaining agreement takes effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 5.8</u>, Parent further agrees that the provisions of this <u>Section 5.8</u> shall not be construed in any matter that would violate any applicable provisions of any Company CBA or applicable Law in respect of the Union Continuing Employees. Furthermore, Parent agrees to, or to cause one of its Affiliates to, honor all applicable seniority list integration or similar rights contained in any Company CBA in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms thereof and applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Nothing in this Agreement will require the continued employment of any Person and no provision of this Agreement will prevent Parent or the Surviving Entity from amending or terminating any Company Benefit Plan or benefit plans, programs, agreements or arrangements of any Parent or its Subsidiaries. The Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Agreement with respect to Service Providers are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties signatory hereto and will not create any right in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Company Benefit Plan or any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, nor will require the Company to continue or amend any particular benefit plan after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any Service Provider, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law. This Agreement is not intended to amend any Company Benefit Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Within twenty (20) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall take the actions specified on <u>Section 5.1(b)(xi)(11)</u> of the Company Disclosure Letter.

In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) For a period of six (6) years from and after the First Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall either cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers or provide substitute policies for the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in either case, of not less than the existing coverage and having other terms not less favorable to the insured Persons than the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the First Effective Time (regardless of when such claims are brought) (with insurance carriers having at least an "A" rating by A.M. Best with respect to directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance), except that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Entity be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies more than 250% of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries (the "<u>Maximum Amount</u>"). If the Surviving Entity is unable to obtain the insurance required by this <u>Section 5.9(c)</u> because its cost exceeds the Maximum Amount, it shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for the years within such six (6)-year period for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Closing Date, the Company may, at its option purchase, or Parent may, at its option request that the Company purchase, a six (6)-year prepaid "tail" directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance policy for the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries, such tail policy to provide coverage in an amount not less than the existing coverage and to have other terms not less favorable to the insured Persons than the directors' and officers', employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the First Effective Time; <u>provided</u> that the annual premiums payable for such "tail" policy shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. Parent and the Surviving Entity shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provision will be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, will assume the obligations set forth in this <u>Section 5.9</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The obligations under this <u>Section 5.9</u> will not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee or other persons who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in <u>Section 5.9(c)</u> (and their respective heirs and representatives) to whom this <u>Section 5.9</u> applies without the prior written consent of such affected indemnitee or other person who is a beneficiary pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in <u>Section 5.9(c)</u> (and their respective heirs and representatives) (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this <u>Section 5.9</u> applies will be third-party beneficiaries of this <u>Section 5.9</u>). The rights of the Indemnified Parties (and other persons who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in <u>Section 5.9(c)</u> pursuant to this <u>Section 5.9</u> will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have pursuant to (i) the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws, (ii) the similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company,

Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing this <u>Section 5.9</u> (subject to the undertakings described in <u>Section 5.9(b)</u>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to directors' and officers' insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company for any of its directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this <u>Section 5.9</u> is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

mooting disclosures. Without limiting the preceding sentence, Parent or the Company, as applicable, will give the other the right to review and comment on all filings or responses to be made by it in connection with any such Stockholder Litigation, and it will in good faith take such comments into account. For purposes of this <u>Section 5.14</u>, "participate" means that Parent or the Company, as applicable, will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other material decisions and filings with respect to the Stockholder Litigation by the other (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between Parent or the Company, as applicable, and its counsel is not undermined), and the other Party may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Stockholder Litigation but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over such Stockholder Litigation except for the settlement or compromise consent set forth above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.8 <u>Severability</u>. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.9 <u>Entire Agreement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Agreement (together with the exhibits and schedules hereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and Merger Subs expressly acknowledge and agree that, from and after a termination of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to pursue damages on behalf of its stockholders against Parent or Merger Subs for fraud or Intentional Breach (and only in the case of fraud or Intentional Breach) by Parent or Merger Subs, which damages may include the loss of the Merger Consideration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, damages based on the loss of the economic benefits of the Mergers, including the loss of the premium offered to each such holder, which damages the Company shall be entitled to retain); <u>provided</u> that, for the avoidance of doubt, no stockholder of the Company shall have the right to pursue any such damages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.10 <u>Assignment</u>. This Agreement will not be assigned by any Party by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except that Parent and either Merger Sub may assign its rights, but not its obligations, hereunder to any Financing Source. This Agreement shall be binding on, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.11 <u>Mutual Drafting; Interpretation</u>. Each Party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each Party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the Parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision.

As used in this Agreement, the words "include" and "including," and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation."

A-88<br>

------

Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware, except that matters relating to the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board and matters that are specifically required by the NLLCA in connection with the Second Merger shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Nevada.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "<u>Chancery Court</u>"), or, if the Chancery Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction of the action or proceeding, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such court, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS <u>SECTION 8.12(c)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.13 <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.14 <u>Specific Performance</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each Party agrees that the provisions of <u>Section 7.2</u> are not intended to and do not adequately compensate the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Subs, on the other hand, for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party's right to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief. The pursuit of specific enforcement or other equitable remedy by any Party will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such party may be entitled at any time, subject to the limitations or remedies set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Subs, on the other hand, hereby

A-89<br>

------

agrees not to raise any objection to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement on the basis that there is adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Each Party further agrees that no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this <u>Section 8.14</u>, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Each Party further agrees that by seeking the remedies provided for in this <u>Section 8.14</u>, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek at any time any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement, and nothing set forth in this <u>Section 8.14</u> shall require any Party to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any Party's rights to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this <u>Section 8.14</u> prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under <u>Article 7</u>, nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this <u>Section 8.14</u> or anything set forth in this <u>Section 8.14</u> restrict or limit any Party's right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of <u>Article 7</u>.

Board of Directors <br>

Allegiant Travel Company <br>

1201 North Town Center Drive <br>

Las Vegas, Nevada 89144

Members of the Board of Directors:

We understand that Allegiant Travel Company, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), intends to enter into a transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") with Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Sun Country"), Mirage Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub 1") and Sawdust Merger Sub, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub 2"), pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into Sun Country (the "First Merger"), with Sun Country surviving the First Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Sun Country will be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the "Second Merger"), with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (iii) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Sun Country ("Sun Country Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (other than shares of Sun Country Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to the Agreement (as defined below) or Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive from the Company (a) $4.10 in cash, without interest (the "Per Share Cash Consideration") and (b) 0.1557 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Company Common Stock"), of the Company (the "Per Share Stock Consideration," together with the Per Share Cash Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares to be paid and issued pursuant to the Agreement, the "Consideration"). The terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction are set forth in more detail in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") by and among the Company, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and Sun Country. The summary of the Proposed Transaction set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement.

We have been requested by the Board of Directors of the Company to render our opinion with respect to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of the Consideration to be paid by the Company pursuant to the First Merger. We have not been requested to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the Company's underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Proposed Transaction or the likelihood of consummation of the Proposed Transaction. In addition, we express no opinion on, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the fairness of the amount or the nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Proposed Transaction, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration paid in the Proposed Transaction or otherwise. Our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Proposed Transaction as compared to any other transaction or business strategy in which the Company might engage.

In arriving at our opinion, we reviewed and analyzed: (1) the Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2026 and the specific terms of the Proposed Transaction; (2) publicly available information concerning the Company and Sun Country that we believe to be relevant to our analysis, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, Sun Country's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and Sun Country's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025; (3) financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of the Company furnished to us by the Company, including financial projections and net operating loss utilization projections of the Company prepared by management of the Company (the "Company Projections"); (4) financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of Sun Country furnished to us by Sun Country, including financial projections and net operating loss utilization projections of Sun Country prepared by management of Sun Country, as reviewed and approved for our use by the Company (the "Sun Country Projections"); (5) financial projections of the Company pro forma for the

#### <br>
consummation of the Proposed Transaction prepared by management of the Company (the "Pro Forma Projections"), including cost savings, operating synergies and other strategic benefits expected by management of the Company to result from the combination of the businesses of the Company and Sun Country (collectively, the "Expected Synergies"); (6) a trading history of Company Common Stock from January 9, 2023 to January 9, 2026 and Sun Country Common Stock from January 9, 2023 to January 9, 2026 and a comparison of those trading histories with those of other companies that we deemed relevant; (7) a comparison of the historical financial results and present financial condition of the Company and Sun Country with each other and with those of other companies that we deemed relevant; and (8) a comparison of the financial terms of the Proposed Transaction with the financial terms of certain other transactions that we deemed relevant. In addition, we have had discussions with the management of the Company and Sun Country concerning their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition and prospects and have undertaken such other studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed appropriate.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information used by us without any independent verification of such information (and have not assumed responsibility or liability for any independent verification of such information) and have further relied upon the assurances of the management of the Company that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the Company Projections, upon the advice and at the direction of the management of the Company, we have assumed that such projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Company on a standalone basis and that the Company, on a standalone basis, will perform substantially in accordance with such projections and have relied on the Company Projections in arriving at our opinion. With respect to the Sun Country Projections, upon the advice and at the direction of the Company, we have assumed that such projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of Sun Country on a standalone basis and that Sun Country, on a standalone basis, will perform substantially in accordance with such projections and have relied on the Sun Country Projections in arriving at our opinion. With respect to the Pro Forma Projections, upon the advice and at the direction of the Company, we have assumed that such projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Company pro forma for the consummation of the Proposed Transaction and that the Company following the consummation of the Proposed Transaction will perform substantially in accordance with such projections and have relied on the Pro Forma Projections in arriving at our opinion. Furthermore, upon the advice and at the direction of the Company, we have assumed that the amounts and timing of the Expected Synergies are reasonable and that the Expected Synergies will be realized in accordance with such estimates. We assume no responsibility for and we express no view as to any such projections or estimates (including the Expected Synergies) or the assumptions on which they are based. In arriving at our opinion, we have not conducted a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of the Company or Sun Country and have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of the Company or Sun Country. Our opinion necessarily is based upon market, economic and other conditions as they exist on, and can be evaluated as of, the date of this letter. We assume no responsibility for updating or revising our opinion based on events or circumstances that may occur after the date of this letter. We express no opinion as to the prices at which shares of Company Common Stock or Sun Country Common Stock would trade following the announcement or consummation of the Proposed Transaction.

We have assumed the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and all agreements related thereto. We have also assumed, upon the advice of the Company, that all material governmental, regulatory and third party approvals, consents and releases for the Proposed Transaction will be obtained within the constraints contemplated by the Agreement and that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof. We do not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the Proposed Transaction, nor does our opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which we understand that the Company has obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion as of the date hereof that, the Consideration to be paid by the Company pursuant to the First Merger is fair to the Company from a financial point of view.

(4) [Repealed.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation or a conversion effected pursuant to § 266 of this title or a transfer, domestication or continuance effected pursuant to § 390 of this title. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d), (e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section (and, § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall notify each stockholder of each constituent or converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section, of the date that the merger, consolidation or conversion has become effective; or

(2) If the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation before the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or the surviving, resulting or converted entity within 10 days after such effective date, shall notify each stockholder of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who is entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section (and § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving such notice, demand in writing from the surviving, resulting or converted entity the appraisal of such holder's shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to such entity by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs such entity of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger,

consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, either (i) each such constituent corporation or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance or (ii) the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation or entity that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section (but subject to this paragraph (d)(3)), a beneficial owner may, in such person's name, demand in writing an appraisal of such beneficial owner's shares in accordance with either paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section, as applicable; provided that (i) such beneficial owner continuously owns such shares through the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance and otherwise satisfies the requirements applicable to a stockholder under the first sentence of subsection (a) of this section and (ii) the demand made by such beneficial owner reasonably identifies the holder of record of the shares for which the demand is made, is accompanied by documentary evidence of such beneficial owner's beneficial ownership of stock and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and provides an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the surviving, resulting or converted entity hereunder and to be set forth on the verified list required by subsection (f) of this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity, or any person who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, any person entitled to appraisal rights who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such person's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, any person who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the surviving, resulting or converted entity a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2) of this title)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of stockholders or beneficial owners holding or owning such shares (provided that, where a beneficial owner makes a demand pursuant to paragraph (d)(3) of this section, the record holder of such shares shall not be considered a separate stockholder holding such shares for purposes of such aggregate number). Such statement shall be given to the person within 10 days after such person's request for such a statement is received by the surviving, resulting or converted entity or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section, whichever is later.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by any person other than the surviving, resulting or converted entity, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon such entity, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all persons who have demanded appraisal for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by such entity. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving, resulting or converted entity and to the persons shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving, resulting or converted entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the persons who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the persons who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any person fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such person. If immediately before the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) After the Court determines the persons entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger, consolidation or conversion and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving, resulting or converted entity may pay to each person entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving, resulting or converted entity or by any person entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the persons entitled to an appraisal. Any person whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such person is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving, resulting or converted entity to the persons entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such person upon such terms and conditions as the Court may order. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving, resulting or converted entity be an entity of this State or of any state.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a person whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section who participated in the proceeding and incurred expenses in connection therewith, the Court may order all or a portion of such expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal not dismissed pursuant to subsection (k) of this section or subject to such an award pursuant to a reservation of jurisdiction under subsection (k) of this section.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Subject to the remainder of this subsection, from and after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, no person who has demanded appraisal rights with respect to some or all of such person's shares as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such shares for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance). If a person who has made a demand for an appraisal in accordance with this section shall deliver to the surviving, resulting or converted entity a written withdrawal of such person's demand for an appraisal in respect of some or all of such person's shares in accordance with subsection (e) of this section, either within 60 days after such effective date or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such person to an appraisal of the shares subject to the withdrawal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall not be dismissed as to any person without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just, including without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Court made under subsection (j) of this section; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such person's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section. If a petition for an appraisal is not filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, the right to appraisal with respect to all shares shall cease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) The shares or other equity interests of the surviving, resulting or converted entity to which the shares of stock subject to appraisal under this section would have otherwise converted but for an appraisal demand made in accordance with this section shall have the status of authorized but not outstanding shares of stock or other equity interests of the surviving, resulting or converted entity, unless and until the person that has demanded appraisal is no longer entitled to appraisal pursuant to this section.
