Business & Financial Updates 3/12/2013 © Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. 3 • On March 1, 2013, the Company’s CPA agreement with American Airlines for the operation of E175 aircraft was amended, subject to RJET board approval, which was obtained on March 8, 2013, and further subject to bankruptcy court approval. • On March 12, 2013, the amended CPA was approved by the bankruptcy court. • The final accounting for Chautauqua restructuring agreements will result in lower than previously expected annual non - cash depreciation expense. This adjustment, which reduces the Company’s annual depreciation expense for small regional jets by ~$8 million over the next several years, is now included in our updated guidance for FY 2013. • The guidance on the following page would require further updates in the event additional growth opportunities arise, a Frontier transaction occurs, or a new Republic pilot labor agreement is approved and becomes effective. • No events have transpired that require an update in the FY 2013 guidance provided on 12/31/12 for the Frontier business segment.
