How about instead of simply getting bailed out they have to create additional shares that they sell to the government at the current price set by the open market. The government is then free to sell the shares after some time or to actually exercise the voting right that come with the shares if they decide to hold onto the shares.

However, given what the federal reserve did recently, they did actually just give loans out and are expecting a repayment or they purchased income producing assets from large businesses. They did not simply give money away, and are expecting it back. If the federal government follows suit, they stand to make a lot of money from this, as they did during the last recession. The United States government has a rather good history of profiting from bailouts.
