AI startup Micro1 wants to derail Google's winning bid for Spirit Airlines data with a higher offer

Micro1 says its offer for Spirit Airlines’ data is materially higher than Google’s, proposing $12.5 million. The higher bid from the AI startup suggests competitive pressure in the asset sale, potentially improving the deal outlook for Spirit. Impact is likely most concentrated in Spirit’s trading on deal/tender expectations.
