On December 3, 2013, Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (the "Company") completed the sale of all of the outstanding shares of its wholly owned subsidiary, Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc. ("Frontier"), to Falcon Acquisition Group, Inc., an affiliate of Indigo Partners LLC (the "Buyer") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Buyer dated as of September 30, 2013 (the "Purchase Agreement"). The sale included the Company's rights and obligations under agreements with Airbus S.A.S relating to the purchase and maintenance of A320neo aircraft which were assigned to Frontier at the closing. At the closing, the the Company received approximately $84 million in cash related to the sale of Frontier, of which approximately $52 million is subject to certain final reconciliation adjustments under the Purchase Agreement. In addition, Frontier retained approximately $108 million of indebtedness.
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 was prepared as if the disposition occurred on that date and the adjustments give effect to events that are directly attributable to the transaction, that have a continuing impact and are nonrecurring. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income were prepared as if the disposition occurred on January 1, 2010. The pro forma adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 give effect to actions taken in conjunction with the disposal. The pro forma adjustments include, the elimination of interest expense associated with the repayment of $79 million of current debt, with proceeds received from transaction. The pro forma adjustments are based on factually supportable available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable.
The pro forma statements do not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position of Frontier would have been had the transaction occurred on the dates noted above, or to project the results of operations or the financial position of Frontier for any future periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information have been made.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company included in its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

(3)
Represents pro forma adjustments which include repayment of $79 million of aircraft and other equipment debt and $5 million of estimated transaction fees.

(4)
Reflects a revision to the estimated loss attributed to the sale of Frontier that closed on December 3, 2013. This amount is a reduction to the estimated loss of $48 milllion reflected in our historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2013.  The actual gain on sale will differ from the pro forma estimate due to finalization of certain adjustments to the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement.
