Item 5. Other Events.

Continental Airlines, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ExpressJet Airlines, Inc. and Continental Micronesia, Inc., have received a total of $212.6 million from the U.S. Government under the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (the "Act"). This payment partly compensates the carriers for their direct losses incurred beginning on September 11, 2001 resulting from the recent Government-ordered grounding of their respective aircraft fleets, as well as for related subsequent losses expected to be incurred through December 31, 2001. The carriers expect to receive additional payments under the Act before the end of the calendar year, in an amount approximating the amount already received.
