Company anticipates the carryforward period will lapse prior to utilization of the deferred tax assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2011 in conjunction with preparing the 2010 income tax return,
the Company revised its estimate of the 2010 ExpressJet post-acquisition tax losses recorded as a
deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2010. The change in estimate resulted in a tax benefit of
$7.2 million, which is reflected in ‘‘Other, net’’ in the reconciliation above.
