EXPLANATORY NOTE

This registration statement on Form S-8 (Commission File No. 333-199734) (this “Registration Statement”) was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Allegiant Travel Company (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) on October 30, 2014. On June 26, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) under which the term of the Plan was extended by ten (10) years until October 31, 2034, but without increasing the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Plan as the total number of shares initially authorized under the Plan exceed the total that have been issued to date under the Plan. Since no additional shares are being reserved or issued, the Company is not updating the filing fee table included in the Registration Statement as originally filed.

The Company intends for this Registration Statement to continue to apply during the extended term of the Plan as the shares to be issued under the Plan in the future will be those shares remaining unissued that have been registered under the Registration Statement as originally filed.

Any statement contained herein or in any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Registration Statement, except as so modified or superseded.

Item 4.     Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.



    
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
    The legality of the securities registered hereby has been passed on by Robert Goldberg, the Registrant’s Senior Vice President, Senior Counsel and corporate Secretary. Mr. Goldberg is eligible to participate in the Plan and owns a number of common shares of the Registrant which represents less than 0.1% of the total outstanding common shares of the Registrant. Mr. Goldberg is as an officer and employee of the Registrant.

Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that directors of the Company will not be personally liable for damages to the Company to the fullest extent allowable by Nevada law. Under Nevada law, subject to specified exceptions (including approval of certain illegal dividends or distributions), or unless the articles of incorporation provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the company or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer other than in circumstances where both (a) the presumption that the director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation has been rebutted, and (b) the act or failure to act of the director or officer is proven to have been a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach is proven to have involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. In appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies or non-monetary relief, such as an injunction, may remain available to a stockholder seeking redress from any such violation.

The Company also has the obligation, pursuant to Article Ten of the Company's By-Laws and under certain indemnification agreements, to indemnify any officer or director of the Company for all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any legal action brought or threatened against such person for or on account of any action or omission alleged to have been committed because such person was an officer or director, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which the person believed to be in, or believed was not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to criminal actions, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that such indemnification shall not be made if a final adjudication establishes such person's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action. The Company also maintains liability insurance for its directors and officers in order to limit its exposure to liability for indemnification of such persons.

These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for certain violations of the federal securities laws of the United States.

Item 7.     Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.



Item 8.     Exhibits.

*Filed herewith.

Item 9.     Undertakings.
(a)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;



provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.



SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Las Vegas, State of Nevada, on this 26th day of September, 2024.

Re:     Allegiant Travel Company Registration Statement on Form S-8


Gentlemen:

At your request, I have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Allegiant Travel Company, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of up to 1,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company issuable by the Company under the Company’s 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan as amended and restated effective as of November 1, 2024 (the “Plan”).

As your counsel, and in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, I have examined the originals or copies of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws (as amended to date), such other documents and corporate records relating to the authorization and issuance of the Shares as I deemed relevant or necessary for the opinion herein expressed. In such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. I have also assumed that the Shares will remain reserved for issuance under the Plan until actually issued thereunder.

Upon the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Shares, when issued in accordance with the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and I further consent to the use of my name in the “Legal Matters” section of the Registration Statement, including the prospectus constituting a part thereof, and any amendments thereto. In giving such consent, I do not hereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
    
The opinion expressed herein is based on the facts in existence and the laws in effect on the date hereof and is limited to the Federal securities laws and the laws of the State of Nevada currently in effect.
