Dear Vaughan, I tried calling you. We still haven’t heard back from your or your advisers after our calls and email yesterday apart from a message from Emma Jane from MS more than three hours ago saying that they will call us shortly together with HL. We have now lost more than half a day again without any access to information that we had agreed yesterday should be provided to us. Can we pls speak soon to understand what’s causing the hold-up?

Best regards Sandeep

From: Sandeep Gupta Sent: Monday, 8 June 2020 5:15 PM To: Strawbridge, Vaughan <[email protected]>; Algeri, Sal <[email protected]>; Greig, John <[email protected]> Cc: Hyder Ahmad <[email protected]>; Chandra Sinnathuray <[email protected]>; [email protected]; bburger <[email protected]>; [email protected]; Prashanth Venkatesh <[email protected]>; Manik Gupta <[email protected]>; Mark Wyrill <[email protected]> Subject: Understanding on the way forward

Dear Vaughan, Sal and John,

Thank you for your time earlier today. We wanted to confirm the understanding that we have reached on the way forward for us to participate in the process.

We will get full access to the data and information that has been provided to the bidders and will get all relevant updates that are provided going forward to the bidders.

After reviewing the information, we would engage with the Virgin management team later this week to discuss the issues arising out of our review of the data. We anticipate this to take place over Thursday or Friday and the initial session will need to be a comprehensive one with representatives from management and your/your advisers’ team who can discuss all the relevant issues. We can discuss the specifics of this after our review of the information in the data room. It is quite likely that we will need follow-up meetings with management and/or your advisers next week to address and clarify additional issues as they arise.

Our expectation is that, through our review of the information and discussions with management and with you and your advisers, we will be able to form an initial view on what will broadly be acceptable to different stakeholders including:

- unions in terms of new EBA arrangement; - lessors in terms of payment profile for leases to be maintained and their expectations for terminated leases; - airports for their contracts with the airline; - key merchants on terms for their engagement etc.

If such a view cannot be formed through this, we will work with you to find an alternative approach that works within the constraints of your current bid process.

In terms of engagement with bidders, our expectation is that we would be able to engage with them quite soon in order to discuss appropriate alternatives with them around how returns to unsecured creditors and in particular bondholders can be structured.

With the above, our expectation is that we should be in a position to have an initial view around the contours of a backup recapitalisation plan, should it be needed after your review of the bids. We will get a line of sight on final bids as June 22 approaches. After you get the binding bids from the current shortlisted bidders on June 22 or around that date, we will be afforded sufficient time to review those bids and discuss them with you. Should those bids not provide an acceptable or fair return to bondholders in our view, we can offer you before June 30 (assuming binding bids have been received on or around June 22):

1) A binding Interim Funding proposal for up to A$200m to manage the operations of the airline until the date of the second creditors’ meeting; and

2) Cash collateral or other acceptable form of commitment to cover the amounts offered towards employee entitlements and the cash portion, if any, of the return offered to all unsecured creditors by the bidder whose

bid you would have otherwise been prepared to accept. For the avoidance of doubt, this cash collateral or commitment would only be called upon by you in case we are not able to propose an acceptable recapitalisation plan ahead of the second creditors’ meeting and will be used to put these stakeholders in no worse a position than they would have been, had you accepted the relevant bid.

Should we provide you with these two commitments, it is our expectation that you will not accept the bids that have been submitted by the two shortlisted bidders and we will have the opportunity to complete our diligence and propose a recapitalisation plan and Deed of Company Arrangement before the date of the second creditors’ meeting. If we need some additional time to complete our diligence and submit a final binding plan, you will work with us to get court approval for pushing back the second creditors’ meeting, so long as the available interim funding does not become a constraint.

We hope that this captures the agreed way to move forward. We would greatly appreciate if you could confirm your agreement to this by return email.

Separately, Faraday is sending you the list for the people who will need to be given access to the data room.

We look forward to working with you to maximise the recovery for all creditors. We believe we can assist you to extract value for the benefit of all the stakeholders of Virgin and secure a profitable future for the airline and its employees.

With kind regards

Sandeep and Willie
