The Air Transportation Stabilization Board today announced the sale of the 3,450,551 warrants that it received in connection with the issuance of a loan guarantee to Frontier Airlines. The warrants were purchased in an auction by seven institutional investors at a price of $2.03 per warrant. Total net proceeds to the government were $6,608,604.
The ATSB still holds warrants in World Airways. The ATSB currently has no outstanding loan guarantees, but the Board has a direct loan of $86 million to ATA Airlines as a result of the airline's bankruptcy.
