In connection therewith, Frontier made available to the lenders under the credit agreements a presentation discussing the Company and the proposed amendments. A copy of that presentation is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information in the lender presentation should be read in conjunction with the Company’s other filings with the SEC, including its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed on November 2, 2017, and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 31, 2017.
