The rationale would be that they would expect tax payers to be paid back, ahead of shareholders.

If they have excess cash to pay a dividend, why do they need a bailout?

#8Seems like this will not affect companies that funnel profits into subsidiaries in low tax countries, e.g. the Maltese Patent Box scheme.
There are always some loopholes, governments should know.

If a company can still afford to pay out dividends it probably isn't really in need of aid.

No, they are not. The vast majority of companies do not pay dividends.
