Potter Anderson Advises Republic Airways in All-Stock Merger with Mesa Air
Republic Airways Holdings Inc. and Mesa Air Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MESA) announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to merge and create a leading publicly-traded regional airline company in an all-stock transaction. Upon closing, the combined company will be renamed Republic Airways Holdings Inc. and is expected to remain NASDAQ-listed under the new ticker symbol, "RJET".
The transaction is anticipated to deliver value creation for both Mesa and Republic shareholders, who stand to benefit from the ownership of a better capitalized airline with increased economies of scale, due to Republic's strong financial position, stable earnings and cash flow.
The transaction is expected to close in either the late third or early fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP acted as Delaware counsel to Republic Airways Holdings Inc. The team included partners Michael Tumas and Roxanne Houtman and associate Evan Hockenberger.
