On May 1, 2020, the Company completed the public offering of $2.3 billion aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, bearing interest at a rate of 1.25 percent, payable semi-annually in arrears. The Company repurchased $689 million during the two year period ending December 31, 2022, and the remaining $1.6 billion principal amount of the Convertible Notes was repaid at maturity during second quarter 2025 utilizing available cash on hand. An immaterial amount of Convertible Note conversions settled at maturity.
Payroll Support Program Loan due 2031

During 2020 and 2021, the Company entered into definitive documentation with the United States Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") with respect to payroll funding support ("Payroll Support") pursuant to three separate Payroll Support programs: the "PSP1 Payroll Support Program" in April 2020 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act; the "PSP2 Payroll Support Program” in January 2021 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021; and the "PSP3 Payroll Support Program" in April 2021 under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

As consideration for its receipt of funding under each of these Payroll Support programs, the Company issued promissory notes in favor of Treasury (each initially classified as a component of Long-term debt less current maturities in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet). The note associated with the PSP1 Payroll Support Program was originally due in April 2030 but was redeemed early on April 17, 2025, in the amount of $976 million. The note associated with the PSP2 Payroll Support Program was originally due in January 2031 but was redeemed early on December 29, 2025, in the amount of $566 million. All payments were made utilizing available cash on hand.

The note associated with the PSP3 Payroll Support Program was originally due in April 2031. On December 30, 2025, the Company made a partial prepayment on this note in the amount of $100 million. On April 22, 2026, the Company made an early prepayment of the outstanding loan balance of $426 million, utilizing available cash on hand.

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On March 11, 2026, the Company entered into a new term loan credit agreement (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement") with a third-party bank, providing for a $500 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the "Term Loan Facility") that was drawn in full on the closing date. The Term Loan Facility matures in full on March 11, 2029, and the Company has the right at any time to prepay the loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three business days’ prior written notice to the administrative agent. Amounts prepaid under the Term Loan Credit Agreement may not be reborrowed.

Additionally, the Term Loan Facility includes an uncommitted incremental term loan feature allowing up to $1 billion in incremental term loan commitments to be established from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement. On May 19, 2026, the Company executed an upsize of the Term Loan Facility for $1 billion of incremental term loan commitments, and amended the incremental term loan feature to allow for an additional $1 billion more of available uncommitted funds. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a total outstanding loan balance of $1.5 billion related to the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Term Loan Facility is secured by a grant of a security interest in certain aircraft and related assets.
Generally, amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at interest rates based on either the Term SOFR (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) for designated interest periods selected by the Company or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin. The underlying
Term SOFR is subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum, and the Alternate Base Rate is subject to a floor of 1.00% per annum.

Revolving Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had access to $1.5 billion under its amended and restated revolving credit facility (the "Amended Credit Agreement"), which expires in August 2028, reflecting the Company’s exercise of the accordion feature to increase the size of the facility on July 22, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement.
