               Report Under Section 4026(b)(1) of the CARES Act on
       Loans to Air Carriers, Eligible Businesses, and National Security Businesses


Program Description

Section 4003 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act)
authorizes the Treasury Department to make loans, loan guarantees, and other
investments to provide liquidity to eligible businesses related to losses incurred as a result
of coronavirus.

The CARES Act provides:

   (1) up to $25 billion for loans and loan guarantees for passenger air carriers; eligible
       businesses that are certified under 14 CFR part 145 and approved to perform
       inspection, repair, replace, or overhaul services; and ticket agents (as defined in
       49 U.S.C. § 40102);
   (2) up to $4 billion for loans and loan guarantees for cargo air carriers; and
   (3) up to $17 billion for loans and loan guarantees for businesses critical to
       maintaining national security.

A loan or loan guarantee under section 4003 may be made in such form and on such
terms and conditions and contain such covenants, representations, warranties, and
requirements as the Treasury Secretary determines appropriate. However, the CARES
Act specifies a number of requirements applicable to these loans. Among other
requirements under the statute, borrowers must agree to maintain employment levels as
of March 24, 2020, to the extent practicable, and in any case not reduce their
employment levels by more than 10 percent from the levels on such date, until
September 30, 2020. Borrowers must also agree to certain restrictions on employee
compensation; agree not to repurchase stock, except to the extent required under a
contractual obligation in effect as of March 27, 2020; and agree not to pay dividends or
make other capital distributions with respect to the borrower’s common stock until 12
months after the loan has been repaid.

In addition, the CARES Act requires that Treasury receive a warrant or equity instrument
in the borrower if the borrower is a public company (unless Treasury determines that the
issuance of warrants or equity is infeasible, in which case the company must provide a
senior debt instrument), or a warrant, equity instrument, or senior debt instrument if the
borrower is a private company, to compensate taxpayers.

Reporting Requirements

The CARES Act requires Treasury to make a number of disclosures regarding its loans
and loan guarantees under section 4003 of the CARES Act:

   (1) under section 4026(a) of the CARES Act, not later than 72 hours after any
       transaction under section 4003(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the CARES Act, Treasury must
       publish on its website a description of the transaction, certain transaction terms,
       and transaction documentation;
                                              1
   (2) under section 4026(b)(1)(A) of the CARES Act, not later than seven days after any
       loan or loan guarantee under section 4003(b)(1), (2), or (3), Treasury must submit
       to Congress a report summarizing the actions taken under those provisions and
       certain related financial information;
   (3) under section 4026(b)(1)(B) of the CARES Act, not later than seven days after
       delivering the report to Congress described above, Treasury must publish the
       report on its website; and
   (4) under section 4026(b)(1)(C) of the CARES Act, every 30 days while a loan or loan
       guarantee under section 4003(b)(1), (2), or (3) is outstanding, Treasury must
