(10) Payroll Support Programs

In 2020 and 2021, the Company entered into three Payroll Support Program Agreements with Treasury that provided certain payroll support relief payments, including the payroll support program established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (“PSP1”), the payroll support program established under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“PSP2”) and the payroll support program established under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“PSP3”), collectively “Payroll Support Programs”. The relief payments were conditioned on the Company’s agreement to, among other things, refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through September 30, 2021. Other conditions included restrictions on share repurchases and dividends through September 30, 2022, continuing EAS as directed by the U.S. Department of Transportation and certain limitations on executive compensation. The payments received under the payroll support programs included an amount in the form of a payroll grant and an amount in the form of an unsecured 10-year loan. In return, the Company issued to Treasury warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $422.7 million of payroll grant proceeds as an offset to operating expenses. No grants were received or recognized during 2022 and 2023.

In 2020, in connection with the CARES Act, the Company entered into the Treasury Loan Agreement with Treasury (“Secured Loan”) and borrowed $60.0 million under the agreement and in conjunction therewith, issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2021, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the secured loan with Treasury, and in connection with such repayment, terminated the Secured Loan.

See Note 11, “Capital Transactions” for further discussion on the warrants issued to Treasury.
