Jan 29 (Reuters) - Spirit Airlines SAVEQ.PK on Wednesday said it expects to exit bankruptcy in the first quarter and rejected a merger with rival Frontier Group ULCC.O, saying it was not favorable for the low-cost carrier.

Spirit rejected the proposal as it would not provide the anticipated shareholder value and raised concerns over the timing and successful completion of the deal.
