Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) Pursuant to Part III, Section 8.1 of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (the “IAM”), the holder of the Company’s Class IAM Junior Preferred Stock, has the right to elect one member to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at each annual meeting of stockholders for a term of office to expire at the succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. Stephen R. Canale has occupied the IAM director position on the Board since 2002.

On March 5, 2014, Mr. Canale notified the Company that he would not stand for re-election to the Board at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and would leave the Board at the conclusion of his current term. Mr. Canale’s decision not to stand for re-election was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

At this time, the IAM has not designated a nominee to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Canale’s departure.
