Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the related government restrictions, social distancing measures, and consumer fears have impacted flight loads, resulted in unprecedented cancellations of bookings and substantially reduced demand for new bookings throughout the airline industry during 2020 and 2021. Demand in the foreseeable future may continue to be affected by fluctuations in COVID-19 cases, variants, hospitalizations, deaths, treatment efficacy and the availability of vaccines. The Company is continuously reevaluating flight schedules and adjusting capacity based on demand trends.

During 2020 and 2021, Congress enacted various legislation which provided support for the airline industry. This included The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") enacted in March 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 enacted in December 2020 (the “Payroll Support Program Extension”) and the American Rescue Plan Act enacted in March 2021 (the “ARPA”). On January 15, 2021, the Company through its airline operating subsidiary Allegiant Air, LLC entered into a Payroll Support Program Extension Agreement (the “PSP2”) with the Treasury and received $91.8 million under the Payroll Support Program Extension.

In April 2021, the Company received $13.8 million in additional funds related to the PSP2 which included a loan of $1.7 million. In consideration for these additional funds, the Company issued warrants ( the "PSP2 Warrants") to the Treasury to acquire 924 shares of common stock at a price of $179.23 per share (based on the price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on December 24, 2020).

In April 2021, the Company through its airline operating subsidiary Allegiant Air, LLC entered into a Payroll Support Program 3 Agreement (the "PSP3") with the Treasury under section 7301 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and received a total of $98.4 million.

The funds received under PSP2 and PSP3 were used exclusively for wages, salaries and benefits.

Prior to January 1, 2022, all Payroll Support Program funds had been fully utilized.
