Material Changes
On August 21, 2026, the Icahn Group notified JetBlue that its ownership stake had fallen below the threshold required to maintain two director appointments under the Director Appointment and Nomination Agreement dated February 16, 2024.

- Jesse Lynn and Steven D. Miller irrevocably resigned from the Board of Directors.
- Mr. Lynn ceased service on the audit, governance and nominating, and finance committees.
- Mr. Miller ceased service on the audit and finance committees.
- Management confirmed neither resignation resulted from disagreements with the Company's operations, policies, or practices.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
