It's a good common sense start. Companies that pay dividends or make share buy-backs are more vulnerable in a crisis (not only the current one), meaning they are riskier investments. Risk needs to be inversely correlated with reward for the markets to function. Investors in riskier companies deserve to get wiped out, not propped up.
Companies registered in tax-havens should have no business applying for EU or US aid. I would say, simply barring them doesn't go far enough. If one did apply while being simultaneously registered in the EU/US and any tax haven, that is fraud and should result in jail time.
