Background2:

Virgin Australia is Australia's second largest airline group after Qantas. Virgin Australia's business spans four operating segments – Virgin Australia Domestic,
Virgin Australia International, Tigerair Australia and Velocity. Virgin Australia also operates in the domestic, short-haul international and long-haul international
cargo markets.

          Virgin Australia Domestic – flights to 39 destinations in Australia using a fleet of 77 narrow body aircraft. In FY2019, it contributed 63.0% of total
          revenue and income of Virgin Australia Group.

          Virgin Australia International (VAI) – through its global network, it provides access to 425 international destinations. VAI offers international services to
          17 destinations across New Zealand, Pacific Islands, North America and Asia through its fleet of 22 aircraft. The remaining 408 international flights are
          operated through its strategic alliances and partnerships. VAI's international business contributed 21.4% of FY2019 revenue and income.

          Tigerair Australia – This is Virgin's low cost carrier that operates flights to destinations within Australia using its fleet of 17 narrow body aircraft. Tigerair
          contributed 9.7% of total revenue and income in FY2019.

          Velocity – Virgin Australia's loyalty program with a network of around 90 program partners, approximately 70% of Velocity revenue points are earned by
          members with partners other than Virgin Australia. Velocity contributed 5.9% of total revenue and income for FY2019.

Fleet – As at 30 June 2019, Virgin Australia and its subsidiaries operated a fleet of 133 aircraft, including Boeing 737 and Boeing 777 aircraft, Airbus A330 and
Airbus A320, ATR aircraft and Fokker F100 aircraft. Since FY2015, Virgin Australia has revamped its fleet from eight aircraft models to six aircraft models in
FY2019 and intends to simplify further. It is targeting a fleet that will be predominately comprised of Boeing aircraft.

Delivery of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft orders was deferred to July 2021 and 15 of its 737 MAX8 aircraft on order were converted to 737 MAX10 aircraft in order to
defer the capital expenditure.

Shareholders - As at 30 September 2019, the shareholders in Virgin Australia consisted of: Etihad (20.97%), Singapore Airlines (20.03%), Nanshan Group
(20.01%), HNA Innovation (19.86%), Virgin Group (10.02%), Other (9.11%) – 100%.

Virgin Australia Holdings Limited (VAH)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Issues:

     1. On 21 April 2020, VAH and a number of its subsidiaries were placed into voluntary administration, with Vaughan Strawbridge, John Greig, Sal Algeri and
        Richard Hughes of Deloitte appointed as voluntary administrators. The voluntary administrators have indicated that their intention is to undertake a
        process to restructure and refinance the business and bring it out of administration as soon as possible, and that in the meantime, VAH will continue to
        operate its scheduled international and domestic flights which are helping to transport essential workers, maintain freight corridors and return Australians
        home. According to the ASX announcement dated 21 April 2020, Velocity Frequent Flyer Holdco Pty Ltd was not placed into administration.

     2. VAH has been facing the issues outlined below which we anticipate would need to be addressed as part of any restructuring of the company.

     3. Increasing uncertainty around whether VAH can obtain additional financing to ensure it has sufficient liquidity whilst COVID-19 restrictions in Australia will
        remain in place.

     4. Travel curbs are increasingly straining liquidity, working capital is increasingly being affected by cancellations, minimal bookings and outflows at its loyalty
        programme as members redeem points for non-flight benefits.

     5. The airline has now grounded most of its fleet to minimise cash outflows.

     6. The Australian government announced in March 2020 relief measures to provide refunds of airport charges incurred since February 2020 and further
        support measures were announced in late April 2020 to provide for a government-subsidised minimum domestic network to operate from April to June
        2020 to service state and territory capital cities and major regional centres. State governments have also offered conditional rescue packages.

     7. Fitch3 believes the airline will run out of liquidity and be unable to meet its debt service requirements beyond September 2020 without additional funding.
        VAH has limited unencumbered assets against which it can raise further secured debt to shore up liquidity. VAH's ability to secure this funding is crucial
        to maintain its viability.

     8. The Australian government has recently indicated that whilst certain lockdown restrictions may be lifted in as little as four to five weeks' time, social
        distancing measures are likely to be implemented for at least another six months. It therefore remains uncertain when travel restrictions are lifted how
        long it will take for consumers to return to travel and VAH's operations are able to return to normal.

Australian restructuring regimes
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Following the appointment of administrators, efforts will be made to restructure and refinance the business. A restructuring can be achieved by way of a deed of
company arrangement ("DOCA"). Alternatively, whilst creditors' schemes of arrangement in Australia are invariably pursued outside of a formal insolvency
process such as administration, there may still be scope to consider a restructure of VAH via a scheme of arrangement (perhaps through some form of "holding"
DOCA).

Voluntary administration and deeds of company arrangement

     1. Purpose: The object of voluntary administration is to maximise the chances of the company, or as much as possible of its business, continuing in
        existence, or if that is not possible, to provide for a better return for creditors and members than would result from an immediate winding up. It is most
        commonly instigated by the directors where they have formed the view that the company is insolvent or likely to become insolvent.

     2. A statutory moratorium applies immediately on appointment of the administrator, which stays all litigation against the company and prevents the
        enforcement of security interests (with some exceptions for secured creditors holding security over the whole or substantially the whole of the company's
        assets). Australia has also adopted the Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol, which may affect the basis on which the administrators are required
        to deal with leased aircraft.

     3. It would usually be necessary to apply for recognition of the voluntary administration (for example under the US Chapter 15 procedure) to enforce the
        statutory moratorium in overseas jurisdictions. We are not aware of any US authorities which have specifically granted such relief in respect of an
        Australian voluntary administration (noting that voluntary administration is a statutory but not judicial process), but the prevailing market view in line with
        current US authorities is that recognition should be available on the basis that voluntary administration constitutes a statutory framework affecting the
        company.

     4. Suspension of directors' powers: The voluntary administration process is controlled by the administrator. Unlike in Chapter 11 bankruptcy,
        administration is not a debtor in possession regime. All powers of the company and its directors are suspended during the course of the administration.

     5. Administrators' powers: The administrator has broad powers to manage the company's business and affairs (but generally not to disclaim or reject third
        party contracts). This includes a power to continue to operate the business. The administrator incurs personal liability for debts they incur in the operation
        of the business, and rent payable in respect of leased assets which the administrator continues to use after five business days from being appointed
        (such as leased aircraft used in VAH's business). In the absence of adequate cash flow to cover the liabilities, the administrator would usually be

HKGLIB01/1087774/2138065.4                                                                                                                              Hogan Lovells
Virgin Australia – Strictly Private & Confidential                                                                                                               -4-

          expected to relinquish the leased property. However, there is a very recent court decision where administrators successfully applied for orders absolving
          them of liability for rent under a real property lease as a result of the COVID-19 crisis4.

     6. DOCA: The process allows a company in financial distress time to develop and implement a restructuring plan with its key stakeholders via a DOCA,
        which is a binding agreement entered into out-of-court that regulates the arrangements between a company and its creditors. It is only available as an
        extension of the voluntary administration process. It will generally be necessary to apply for recognition of a DOCA (for example under the US Chapter
        15 procedure) to protect the company and its assets from legal action outside Australia in accordance with the terms of the DOCA. We are not aware of
        any US authorities which have specifically granted such relief in respect of an Australian DOCA.

     7. DIP finance: Whilst debtor in possession finance is not a formal concept in Australia as it is in the US, it is possible for an administrator to raise priority
        DIP or rescue finance on a non-recourse basis. As above, an administrator will incur personal liability for the DIP finance, but has an indemnity and
        effectively a super-priority lien over the company's assets for such liabilities whereby the funding will rank pari passu with the costs and expenses of the
        administration (and ahead of the administrators' remuneration). The lien for the administrators' borrowings has super-priority over debts secured over
        circulating (ie "floating") assets of the company if the secured party consents (but does not have security over debts secured by non-circulating (ie "fixed")
        assets. Commonly, an administrator will seek a court order to limit their liability to the extent of the indemnity and lien over the assets, and effectively
        permit them to borrow on non-recourse terms.

     8. Timing: The administration process takes about three to five weeks, but this timetable can be extended by Court order, typically in circumstances where
        there is particular complexity or if there is a need for more time for a restructuring proposal to be developed. In complex cases, the process can take
        more than 12 months.

     9. Appointment process: The administrator is required to hold a first meeting of creditors within eight business days after the appointment. The limited
        purpose of this meeting is to provide an opportunity for creditors to remove and replace the administrator with another practitioner, and to decide if they
        would like to appoint a committee of inspection.

     10. Creditors' meetings: The administrator must hold a second meeting of creditors, which is the critical meeting of creditors in the administration process,
         within five business days' either side of an initial twenty business day convening period. This convening period may be extended by order of the Court as
         discussed above.

     11. Before the second meeting, the administrator is required to report to creditors on their investigations into the company's affairs and provide their opinion
         on whether it would be in the best interests of creditors for (i) control of the company to be handed back to the directors (which is extremely rare because
         it requires the company to be solvent), (ii) the company to be placed into liquidation, or (iii) the company to execute a DOCA (if one has been proposed).

Virgin Australia – Strictly Private & Confidential                                                                                                               -5-

     12. The decision as to the future of the company is made by creditors at the second meeting and only the three options outlined above are available.

     13. Voting threshold: A resolution at the creditors' meeting is passed by a majority in both number and value of the creditors' voting. There is no
         requirement to divide creditors into separate classes for voting purposes in relation to a DOCA. Creditors such as employees and lessors can therefore
         become critical stakeholders in administrations such as this where there are large numbers of employees and leased assets.

     14. A DOCA cannot affect rights of secured creditors or lessors/owners of property used by the company, unless the DOCA provides for it and the creditor
         votes in favour of it.

     15. There are generally very few restrictions on the types of DOCAs that can be executed. DOCAs can be used to affect a rescheduling and/or compromise
         of debt, or a recapitalisation, including by way of debt-for-equity swap.

     16. In particular, a deed administrator has a statutory power to effect a transfer of shares in the company with leave of the court. Leave of the court may only
         be given where the transfer does not result in unfair prejudice to the shareholders, and is therefore more likely to be given where there is valuation
         evidence which demonstrates that the value of the company on a liquidation basis breaks in the debt, not the equity. A transfer of shares under a DOCA
         may also require specific waivers from the corporate regulator in Australia (ASIC) if a single party will acquire more than 20% of the voting power in a
         listed company.

     17. DOCA Limitations: There are some limitations on what a DOCA can achieve:

                a. If there are dissenting secured creditors or lessors/owners (such creditors' rights cannot be affected by the DOCA unless they vote in favour of the
                   DOCA), a scheme of arrangement may be necessary in order to cram down those dissenting parties (see below).

                b. A DOCA cannot compromise or extinguish claims against third parties, only the company that is (or companies that are) subject to the DOCA.

     18. If a DOCA is not proposed or a DOCA fails and the company goes into liquidation, a liquidator has powers to claw back payments made by the company
         to unsecured creditors in the six months prior to the appointment of the administrator, if the company was insolvent at the time of those payments. There
         are defences available to resist such claw-back action.

Schemes of arrangement
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  1. Outline: A scheme of arrangement allows a company to enter into a court-approved arrangement which compromises or re-arranges the rights of its
     creditors. Whilst creditors' schemes are invariably pursued outside of a formal insolvency process such as administration, there may still be scope to
     consider a restructure of VAH via a scheme (perhaps through some form of "holding" DOCA).

          Usually, the process takes three to six months and broadly is as follows:

               A proposal for a scheme of arrangement is drafted into a draft scheme document and an accompanying explanatory statement (forming the scheme
                 booklet). The statement must clearly explain the terms of the proposed scheme and its effect on the company, its creditors and (if applicable) its
                                                                                    members.

            The applicant for the scheme is required to assign creditors to classes. Classes comprise of creditors who have similar rights, such that they can consult
                       together with a view to their common interests (eg secured and unsecured creditors, and related and non-related party creditors).

                                                       The scheme booklet is provided to the regulator, ASIC, for review.

             An application is made to the Court to seek an order for the holding of meetings of the different classes of creditors to consider the proposed scheme.

           The meetings are convened. A scheme will be successful if each separate class of creditors approves it by a majority in number and at least 75% in value
                                                           of the creditors in each class voting at the meeting.

           If the scheme is approved by each class of creditors, it must be finally approved by the court at a second hearing. The second hearing provides creditors
              with an opportunity to raise and be heard on any issues in relation to the proposed scheme, and for a binding determination to be made in respect of
                                                                                   those issues.

                                                        The scheme becomes binding on all parties once approved by the Court.

Virgin Australia – Strictly Private & Confidential                                                                                                           -7-

  2. Classes: Unlike under a DOCA, creditors must be assigned to classes. Classes comprise of creditors who have similar rights such that they can consult
     together with a view to their common interests. Usually, secured and unsecured creditors, and related and non-related party creditors will form separate
     creditor classes, but there may be other classes required depending on the circumstances. A scheme must be approved by a majority in number and
     75% in value of the creditors in each class voting at the scheme meeting.

  3. Court sanction: A scheme is subject to the overall sanction of the Court even where it is approved by the requisite majority of each class of creditors at the
     scheme meeting. The Courts will have particular regard to issues of class composition and fairness where a scheme is contested.

  4. Due to the need for Court sanction and the involvement of the corporate regulator in Australia, a scheme will typically take three to six months to
     implement. It will generally be necessary to apply for recognition of a scheme (for example under the US Chapter 15 procedure) to protect the company
     and its assets from legal action outside Australia in accordance with the terms of the scheme.

  5. Benefits of a scheme: A scheme has particular advantages over a DOCA where there is a need to:

                a. bind or otherwise cram down dissenting secured creditors or owners/lessors (but those parties have an opportunity to make submissions to the
                   Court);

                b. restructure the company outside of a formal insolvency process (particularly where insolvency would have a potentially harmful impact on key
                   contracts);

                c. compromise creditors' claims against a third party (such as a guarantor);

                d. benefit from statutory exemptions from the prohibition on a single party acquiring more than 20% of the voting power in a listed company where
                   the acquisition occurs under a scheme (although other waivers from the corporate regulator and market exchange may still be required depending
                   on the terms of the scheme).

                                                     The Note Trustee may take any action permitted under
                                                     the Note Trust Deed to enforce the Notes.

                                                     In addition, if the Note Trustee, having become bound to
                                                     take action, fails to do so within 30 Business Days, then
                                                     the Noteholder is entitled to take the action that the Note
                                                     Trustee should have taken.

      3. The various bonds and notes have been broadly issued and significant numbers of retail investors are thought to hold bonds in relatively small amounts.
         This could frustrate efforts to gather together sufficient holders in order to be in a position to block any proposal put forward by VAH. Bondholders will
         likely need to invest time coalescing with other similarly minded holders in order to be in a position to assemble a blocking stake.

Events of Default                                    An Event of Default occurs with respect to the Notes if any of the following occurs:

                                                          (1) default in any payment of the principal amount or premium, if any, on any of the Notes when such amount
                                                              becomes due and payable at Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise;

                                                          (2) failure to pay interest on the Notes when such interest becomes due and payable and such failure continues for
                                                              a period of 30 days;

                                                          (3) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with any other covenants or agreements
                                                              applicable to the Notes and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below;

                                                          (4) except as permitted by the Indenture, a Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary is held in any judicial
                                                              proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or a Guarantor
                                                              denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under its Note Guarantee; or

                                                          (5) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in the Indenture with respect to the
                                                              Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted
                                                              Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary (other than in connection with a
                                                              consolidation or merger of, or conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of, a Restricted
                                                              Subsidiary permitted under the covenant described under the caption “—Merger and Sales of Assets” at such
                                                              time as such Restricted Subsidiary is solvent).

Acceleration provisions                              A Default under clause (3) above will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the
                                                     holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default
                                                     and the Company does not cure such Default within 60 days after receipt of such notice.

                                                     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
                                                     reorganization with respect to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries) occurs and
                                                     is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written
                                                     notice to the Company (and to the Trustee, if such notice is given by the holders of the Notes), may, and the Trustee at

Virgin Australia – Strictly Private & Confidential                                                                                                                           - 15 -

                                                     the written direction of such holders (subject to being indemnified and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction) shall, declare
                                                     the principal amount of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such
                                                     a declaration, such amounts shall be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy,
                                                     insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant
                                                     Subsidiaries, the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes shall automatically become and be
                                                     immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder.

Threshold for trustee action                         The Indenture provides that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time,
                                                     method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee for the Notes, or exercising
                                                     any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
                                                     direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or, subject to certain exceptions, that the Trustee determines is unduly
                                                     prejudicial to the rights of any other holder of the Notes or that would subject the Trustee to personal liability.

Indemnification provisions                           Prior to taking any such action, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification and/or pre-funding satisfactory to it in its
                                                     sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Direct action of bondholders                         There is no specific provision that prevents direct action by the bondholders

Change of Control                                    Change of control triggers:
                                                        (1) Any person or group, other than an Excluded Person, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of
                                                            the voting power of the voting stock of the Company;
                                                        (2) The disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all
                                                            or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any person or group,
                                                            other than any Excluded Person.

                                                     In the event of a specified change of control, each holder of Notes may require Virgin Australia to repurchase its Notes
                                                     in whole or in part at a repurchase price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
                                                     interest, if any, to (but not including) the repurchase date.

                                                     The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance
                                                     or other Disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as
                                                     a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise
                                                     established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Notes to require the
                                                     Company to repurchase its Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other Disposition of less than all
                                                     of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.

Guarantors and restricted subsidiaries               The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of Virgin Australia’s subsidiaries, subject to certain
                                                     exclusions.

                                                     Non-Guarantor subsidiaries include special purpose aircraft financing vehicles and other entities that cannot provide
                                                     guarantees due to contractual or legal limitations, immaterial subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries designated as
                                                     Unrestricted Subsidiaries, including Velocity Frequent Flyer Holdco Pty Ltd and other members of the Velocity Sub-

                                                     Unrestricted Subsidiary and, as a result, will not provide a guarantee of Virgin Australia’s obligations under the Notes.

Events of Default                                    It is an Event of Default, whether or not it is within the control of an Obligor, if any of the following events occurs and is

                                                     may by notice to the Issuer and the Registrar declare that those Notes will become immediately due and payable upon
