UNITED CONTINENTAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND UNITED AIRLINES, INC.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

United Continental Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “UAL” or the “Company”) is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is United Airlines, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “United”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of UAL and United, including their respective consolidated financial statements. As UAL consolidates United for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to activities of United also apply to UAL, unless otherwise noted. United’s operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of UAL’s revenues and operating expenses. In addition, United comprises approximately the entire balance of UAL’s assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. When appropriate, UAL and United are named specifically for their individual contractual obligations and related disclosures and any significant differences between the operations and results of UAL and United are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” in this report for disclosures that relate to all of UAL and United.

The UAL and United unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shown here have been prepared as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC. The financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The UAL and United financial statements should be read together with the information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company’s quarterly financial data is subject to seasonal fluctuations and historically its second and third quarter financial results, which reflect higher travel demand, are better than its first and fourth quarter financial results.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting as part of its simplification initiative, which involves several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and created a new Topic 842, Leases. The final guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date and recognize expenses on their income statements similar to the current Topic 840, Leases. It is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The FASB amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and created a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This amendment prescribes that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendment supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification, and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Under the new standard, certain airline ancillary fees directly related to passenger revenue tickets, such as airline change fees and baggage fees, are likely to no longer be considered distinct performance obligations separate from the passenger travel component. In addition, the change fees which were previously recognized when received, will likely be recognized when transportation is provided. The Company is evaluating other possible impacts on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). Under the standard, investments for which fair value is measured at net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient will no longer be categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $201 million of such investments as part of its Short-term investments balance sheet total. In addition, pension plan investments measured at NAV per share will no longer be categorized within the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $1.6 billion of such investments.

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, UAL repurchased 27 million shares of UAL common stock in open market transactions for $1.5 billion, of which $0.1 billion settled in April 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $948 million remaining to purchase shares under its share repurchase program (the “2015 Program”). The Company expects to complete its repurchases under the 2015 Program by September 30, 2016. UAL will repurchase shares of UAL common stock subject to prevailing market conditions, and may discontinue such repurchases at any time. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this report for additional information.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 36.6%, which represented a blend of federal, state and foreign taxes and the impact of certain nondeductible items. The effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 0.5% due primarily to the existing income tax valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets, primarily net operating losses. During 2015, after considering all positive and negative evidence, the Company concluded that its deferred income taxes would be more likely than not to be realized. The Company released substantially all of its valuation allowance in 2015.

NOTE 5 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company contributed $80 million to its U.S. domestic tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans.

Share-Based Compensation. The Company generally grants incentive compensation awards, including long-term equity-based awards, during the first quarter of the calendar year. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, UAL granted share-based compensation awards pursuant to the United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan. These share-based compensation awards include approximately 0.3 million shares of restricted stock and 0.8 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest pro-rata over three years on the anniversary of the grant date. The time-vested RSUs are stock-settled for domestic employees and cash-settled based on the 20-day average closing price of UAL common stock immediately prior to the vesting date for international employees. The Company also granted 0.6 million performance-based RSUs that will vest based on the Company’s return on invested capital and the Company’s relative improvement in pre-tax margin for the three years ending December 31, 2018. If these performance conditions are achieved, cash payments will be made after the end of the performance period based on the 20-day average closing price of UAL common stock immediately prior to the vesting date. The Company accounts for the stock-settled RSUs as equity awards and the cash-settled RSUs as liability awards.

The table below presents information related to share-based compensation (in millions):

    $ 93         $ 41    

Profit Sharing Plans. Substantially all employees participate in profit sharing based on a percentage of pre-tax earnings, excluding special items, profit sharing expense and share-based compensation. Profit sharing percentages range from 5% to 20% depending on the work group, and in some cases profit sharing percentages vary above and below certain pre-tax margin

thresholds. Eligible U.S. co-workers in each participating work group receive a profit sharing payout using a formula based on the ratio of each qualified co-worker’s annual eligible earnings to the eligible earnings of all qualified co-workers in all domestic work groups. Eligible non-U.S. co-workers receive profit sharing based on the calculation under the U.S. profit sharing plan for management and administrative employees. Profit sharing expense is recorded as a component of Salaries and related costs in the Company’s statements of consolidated operations.

(a) In accordance with the relevant accounting standards, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the statement of financial position. The investments measured using NAV are shares of mutual funds that invest in fixed-income instruments including bonds, debt securities, and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Company can redeem its shares at any time at NAV subject to a three-day settlement period.

Available-for-sale investment maturities - The short-term investments shown in the table above are classified as available-for-sale. As of March 31, 2016, asset-backed securities have remaining maturities of less than one year to approximately 34 years, corporate debt securities have remaining maturities of less than one year to approximately six years and CDARS have maturities of less than one year. U.S. government and other securities have maturities of less than one year to approximately three years. The EETC securities mature in 2019.

Derivative instruments and investments presented in the tables above have the same fair value as their carrying value. The table below presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments not presented in the tables above (in millions):

Table of Contents

Fair value of the financial instruments included in the tables above was determined as follows:

 

Description

    

Fair Value Methodology

Cash and cash equivalents      The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these assets.

Short-term investments and

Restricted cash

     Fair value is based on (a) the trading prices of the investment or similar instruments, (b) an income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts into a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts when observable trading prices are not available, (c) internally-developed models of the expected future cash flows related to the securities, or (d) broker quotes obtained by third-party valuation services.
Fuel derivatives      Derivative contracts are privately negotiated contracts and are not exchange traded. Fair value measurements are estimated with option pricing models that employ observable inputs. Inputs to the valuation models include contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, fuel price curves and measures of volatility, among others.
Foreign currency derivatives      Fair value is determined with a formula utilizing observable inputs. Significant inputs to the valuation models include contractual terms, risk-free interest rates and forward exchange rates.
Debt      Fair values were based on either market prices or the discounted amount of future cash flows using our current incremental rate of borrowing for similar liabilities.

NOTE 7 - HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Fuel Derivatives

The Company may hedge a portion of its future fuel requirements to protect against increases in the price of fuel. The Company may restructure hedges in response to market conditions prior to their original settlement dates which may result in changes in hedge coverage levels and the potential recognition of gains or losses on such hedge contracts. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had hedged approximately 12% of its projected fuel requirements (378 million gallons) for the remainder of 2016 with commonly used financial hedge instruments based on aircraft fuel or crude oil. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had fuel hedges expiring through December 2016.

As required, the Company assesses the effectiveness of each of its individual hedges on a quarterly basis. The Company also examines the effectiveness of its entire hedging program on a quarterly basis utilizing statistical analysis. This analysis involves utilizing regression and other statistical analyses that compare changes in the price of aircraft fuel to changes in the prices of the commodities used for hedging purposes.

Upon proper qualification, the Company accounts for certain fuel derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. All derivatives designated as hedges that meet certain requirements are granted hedge accounting treatment. The types of instruments the Company utilizes that qualify for hedge accounting treatment typically include swaps, call options, collars (which consist of a purchased call option and a sold put option), four-way collars (a collar with a higher strike sold call option and a lower strike purchased put option) and other combinations of options. Generally, utilizing hedge accounting, all periodic changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedges that are considered to be effective are recorded in AOCI until the underlying fuel is consumed and recorded in fuel expense. The Company is exposed to the risk that its hedges may not be effective in offsetting changes in the cost of fuel and that its hedges may not continue to qualify for hedge accounting. Hedge ineffectiveness results when the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument exceeds the change in the value of the Company’s expected future cash outlay to purchase and consume fuel. To the extent that the periodic changes in the fair value of the derivatives are not effective, that ineffectiveness is classified as Nonoperating income (expense): Miscellaneous, net in the statements of consolidated operations.

The Company also uses certain combinations of derivative contracts that are economic hedges but do not qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP. Additionally, the Company may enter into contracts at different times and later combine those contracts into structures designated for hedge accounting. As with derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, the economic hedges and individual contracts are part of the Company’s program to mitigate the adverse financial impact of potential increases in the price of fuel. The Company records changes in the fair value of these various contracts that are not designated for hedge accounting to Nonoperating income (expense): Miscellaneous, net in the statements of consolidated operations.

 

20


Table of Contents

If the Company settles a derivative prior to its contractual settlement date, then the cumulative gain or loss recognized in AOCI at the termination date remains in AOCI until the forecasted transaction occurs. In a situation where it becomes probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will not occur, any gains and/or losses that have been recorded to AOCI would be required to be immediately reclassified into earnings. All cash flows associated with purchasing and settling derivatives are classified as operating cash flows in the condensed statements of consolidated cash flows.

In addition to cash flow hedges, the Company from time to time enters into fair value hedges related to its aircraft fuel inventory using derivatives such as swaps and futures contracts based on aircraft fuel. Under fair value hedge accounting, the Company records changes in the fair value of both the hedging derivative and the hedged aircraft fuel inventory as fuel expense. The Company records ineffectiveness on fair value hedges as Nonoperating income (expense): Miscellaneous, net in the statements of consolidated operations. As of March 31, 2016, the Company did not have any fair value hedges in place.

The Company records each derivative instrument as a derivative asset or liability (on a gross basis) in its consolidated balance sheets, and, accordingly, records any related collateral on a gross basis. The table below presents the fair value amounts of fuel derivative assets and liabilities and the location of amounts recognized in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company’s derivatives were reported in its consolidated balance sheets as follows (in millions):

Derivative Credit Risk and Fair Value

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to its derivative instruments. While the Company records derivative instruments on a gross basis, the Company monitors its net derivative position with each counterparty to monitor credit risk. Based on the fair value of our fuel derivative instruments, our counterparties may require us to post collateral when the price of the underlying commodity decreases, and we may require our counterparties to provide us with collateral when the price of the underlying commodity increases. The Company did not hold or post collateral as of March 31, 2016. The Company had on deposit $26 million of collateral with fuel derivative counterparties as of December 31, 2015. The collateral is recorded as Prepaid expenses and other on the Company’s balance sheets.

We have master trading agreements with all of our fuel hedging counterparties that allow us to net our fuel hedge derivative positions. We have elected not to net the fair value positions recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. The following table shows the potential net fair value positions (including fuel derivatives and related collateral) had we elected to offset. The table reflects offset at the counterparty level (in millions):

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company generates revenues and incurs expenses in numerous foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact the Company’s results of operations through changes in the dollar value of foreign currency-denominated operating revenues and expenses. Some of the Company’s more significant foreign currency exposures include the Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, European euro, British pound and Japanese yen. At times, the Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as options, collars and forward contracts, to hedge its exposure to foreign currency. At March 31, 2016, the Company had foreign currency derivative contracts in place to hedge both European euro denominated sales and Japanese yen denominated sales. The notional amount of the hedges equates to 22% of the Company’s projected European euro denominated net cash inflows for the remainder of 2016; and 17% of the Company’s projected Japanese yen denominated net cash inflows for the remainder of 2016. Net cash relates primarily to passenger ticket sales inflows, partially offset by expenses paid in local currencies. At March 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency derivatives was a liability of $1 million.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In March 2016, the Company announced that it will retire its fleet of Boeing 747 aircraft from scheduled service by the end of 2018. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact to depreciation and amortization expense.

Guarantees. As of March 31, 2016, United is the guarantor of approximately $1.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of tax-exempt special facilities revenue bonds and interest thereon. These bonds, issued by various airport municipalities, are payable solely from rentals paid under long-term agreements with the respective governing bodies. The leasing arrangements associated with $1.4 billion of these obligations are accounted for as operating leases with the associated expense recorded on a straight-line basis resulting in ratable accrual of the lease obligation over the expected lease term. The leasing arrangements associated with $316 million of these obligations are accounted for as capital leases. All of these bonds are due between 2017 and 2038.

In the Company’s financing transactions that include loans, the Company typically agrees to reimburse lenders for any reduced returns with respect to the loans due to any change in capital requirements and, in the case of loans in which the interest rate is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, for certain other increased costs that the lenders incur in carrying these loans as a result of any change in law, subject in most cases to obligations of the lenders to take certain limited steps to mitigate the requirement for, or the amount of, such increased costs. At March 31, 2016, the Company had $2.4 billion of floating rate debt and $111 million of fixed rate debt, with remaining terms of up to 12 years, that are subject to these increased cost provisions. In several financing transactions involving loans or leases from non-U.S. entities, with remaining terms of up to 12 years and an aggregate balance of $2.5 billion, the Company bears the risk of any change in tax laws that would subject loan or lease payments thereunder to non-U.S. entities to withholding taxes, subject to customary exclusions.

Labor Negotiations. As of March 31, 2016, United had approximately 86,000 active employees, of whom approximately 80% were represented by various labor organizations.

In January 2016, United’s pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, International, agreed to extend their contract through January 31, 2019. In March 2016, the Company’s dispatchers, represented by the Professional Airline Flight Control Association, agreed to extend their current contract through 2021. In April 2016, the fleet service, passenger service, storekeeper and other employees represented by the Int’l Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (“IAM”) ratified seven new contracts with the Company which extended the contracts through 2021. The Company continues to negotiate in mediation for a joint flight attendant collective bargaining agreement and a joint technician and related employees’ collective bargaining agreement. See Note 10 of this report for additional information.

NOTE 9 - DEBT

As of March 31, 2016, a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, principally aircraft, route authorities, airport slots and loyalty program intangible assets, was pledged under various loan and other agreements. As of March 31, 2016, UAL and United were in compliance with their debt covenants. As of March 31, 2016, United had its entire capacity of $1.35 billion available under the revolving credit facility of the Company’s 2013 Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).

The fleet service, passenger service, storekeeper and other employees represented by the IAM ratified seven new contracts with the Company which extended the contracts through 2021. The Company recorded a $100 million ($64 million net of taxes) special charge for bonus payments to be made in conjunction with the ratification of these contracts.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the City of Cleveland agreed to amend the lease, which runs through 2029, associated with certain excess airport terminal space (principally Terminal D) and related facilities at Hopkins International Airport (“Cleveland”). The Company recorded an accrual for remaining payments under the lease for facilities that the Company no longer uses and will continue to incur costs under the lease without economic benefit to the Company. This liability was measured and recorded at its fair value when the Company ceased its right to use such facilities leased to it pursuant to the lease. The Company reduced its flight operations at Cleveland in 2014 and had been evaluating its options for the excess space. The Company recorded a net charge of $74 million ($47 million net of taxes) related to the amended lease.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $8 million ($5 million net of taxes) and $50 million, respectively, of severance and benefit costs primarily related to a voluntary early-out program for its flight attendants. In 2014, more than 2,500 flight attendants elected to voluntarily separate from the Company and will receive a severance payment, with a maximum value of $100,000 per participant, based on years of service, with retirement dates through the end of 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded $8 million of losses due to exchange rate changes in Venezuela applicable to funds held in local currency.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $18 million of integration-related charges, $5 million of other charges, and approximately $9 million of gains on the sale of assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $6 million of losses as part of Nonoperating income (expense): Miscellaneous, net due to the write-off of the debt discount related to the redemption of the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes.

In April 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) announced that it will designate Newark Liberty International Airport (“Newark”) as a Level 2 schedule-facilitated airport under the International Air Transport Association Worldwide Slot Guidelines effective October 30, 2016. Newark is currently designated as a Level 3 slot-controlled airport. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of the change in designation on its $412 million intangible asset related to its Newark slots. Further, the Newark slots serve as part of the collateral for the term loans under the Credit Agreement and under the security agreements related to the Second Amended and Restated Co-Branded Card Marketing Services Agreement with Chase Bank USA, N.A. The Company is evaluating the impact of the FAA’s action on the Newark slot collateral for the term loans and to the extent necessary, the Company will substitute other collateral.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

United Continental Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “UAL” or the “Company”) is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is United Airlines, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “United”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of UAL and United including their respective consolidated financial statements. As UAL consolidates United for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to activities of United also apply to UAL, unless otherwise noted. United’s operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of UAL’s revenues and operating expenses. In addition, United comprises approximately the entire balance of UAL’s assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. When appropriate, UAL and United are named specifically for their individual contractual obligations and related disclosures and any significant differences between the operations and results of UAL and United are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” in this report for disclosures that relate to all of UAL and United.

The Company transports people and cargo through its mainline operations, which utilize jet aircraft with at least 118 seats, and regional operations, which utilize smaller aircraft that are operated under contract by United Express carriers. The Company serves virtually every major market around the world, either directly or through participation in Star Alliance®, the world’s largest airline alliance. UAL, through United and its regional carriers, operates an average of 5,000 flights a day to 336 airports across six continents.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

 

   

First quarter 2016 net income was $313 million, or $0.88 diluted earnings per share. First quarter 2016 Non-GAAP net income was $435 million, or $1.23 diluted earnings per share, which excludes $126 million of special charges and reflects $4 million of “Hedge Program Adjustments.” See Note 10 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding special charges.

 

   

Passenger revenue decreased 5.8% to $7.0 billion during the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015.

 

   

First quarter 2016 aircraft fuel cost, including the impact of fuel hedges designated for hedge accounting, decreased 34.7% year-over-year.

 

   

Unrestricted liquidity at March 31, 2016 was $5.3 billion, including $1.35 billion of undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility.

 

   

UAL repurchased 27 million shares of UAL common stock in open market transactions for $1.5 billion, of which $0.1 billion settled in April 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $948 million remaining to purchase shares under its share repurchase program (the “2015 Program”). The Company expects to complete its repurchases under the 2015 Program by September 30, 2016. UAL will repurchase shares of UAL common stock subject to prevailing market conditions, and may discontinue such repurchases at any time. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this report for additional information.

First Quarter Operational Highlights

 

   

United reported a consolidated on-time arrival rate (domestic and international) of 66.5%, up more than 12 points from the same quarter last year.

 

   

Consolidated traffic increased 0.3% and consolidated capacity increased 1.8% during the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015. The Company’s load factor for the first quarter of 2016 was 79.9%.

 

   

The Company took delivery of two Boeing 737-900ER aircraft, three Boeing 787-9 aircraft and one used Airbus A319 aircraft during the first quarter of 2016.

Outlook

The Company expects full-year 2016 consolidated capacity to increase between 1.0% and 2.0% year-over-year. The Company expects full year 2016 cost per available seat mile (“CASM”) excluding profit sharing, third-party business expense, fuel and special charges to be up between 2.0% and 3.0% year-over-year. Second quarter 2016 pre-tax margin is expected to be between 13.0% and 15.0%, excluding special charges. We are unable to project CASM or pre-tax margin on a GAAP basis, as defined below, as the nature and amount of special charges are not determinable at this time.

In the first quarter of 2016, United reached contract extensions with its pilots and dispatchers, and in April 2016, United also reached amended collective bargaining agreements with its Int’l Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (“IAM”) represented employees and continues to negotiate in mediation for a joint flight attendant collective bargaining agreement and a joint technician and related employees’ collective bargaining agreement. The cost associated with the ratification of the pilots’ agreement added an additional approximate 1.5 points of non-fuel unit costs in the first-quarter and full-year 2016. There is no material impact to non-fuel unit costs in 2016 associated with the ratification of the dispatchers’ or IAM’s respective agreements. The Company cannot predict the outcome of negotiations with its unionized employee groups, although significant increases in the pay and benefits resulting from new collective bargaining agreements would have a material financial impact on the Company.

Since the summer of 2014, the price of jet fuel declined and remains volatile. Based on projected fuel consumption in 2016, a one dollar change in the price of a barrel of crude oil would change the Company’s annual fuel expense by approximately $93 million. To protect against increases in the prices of aircraft fuel, the Company may hedge a portion of its future fuel requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides an analysis of results of operations and reasons for material changes therein for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the corresponding period in 2015. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this item for additional information related to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and Non-GAAP financial measures used in this report.

First Quarter 2016 Compared to First Quarter 2015

The Company recorded net income of $313 million in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to net income of $508 million in the first quarter of 2015. First quarter 2016 net income reflects $181 million of income tax expense primarily due to the release of the income tax valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding special charges and with Hedge Program Adjustments, the Company had net income of $435 million in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to net income of $582 million in the first quarter of 2015. The Company considers a key measure of its performance to be operating income, which was $649 million for the first quarter of 2016, as compared to $741 million for the first quarter of 2015, a $92 million decrease year-over-year.

Consolidated passenger revenue in the first quarter of 2016 decreased 5.8% as compared to the year-ago period due to a decrease in consolidated yield of 6.1% year-over-year. Yields were impacted by a competitive domestic fare environment, unfavorable foreign currency results due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, international surcharge declines and a larger than anticipated decrease in close-in business travel during the weeks surrounding the Easter holiday and spring break. The decline in yields was partially offset by a 0.3% and 1.8% year-over-year increase in traffic and capacity, respectively.

Cargo revenue decreased $48 million, or 19.8%, in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the year-ago period due to lower yields, partially offset by higher freight and mail volumes year-over-year. Yields were negatively impacted as air freighter competitors increased capacity in response to lower fuel prices. Another contributing factor to the year-over-year decrease was a U.S. West Coast port labor dispute that helped increase air freight results in the first quarter of 2015. The labor dispute was resolved during the first quarter of 2015.

Other operating revenue in the first quarter of 2016 increased $65 million, or 6.9%, as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to the impact of the Second Amended and Restated Co-Branded Card Marketing Services Agreement with Chase Bank USA, N.A., which became effective in the third quarter of 2015.

Salaries and related costs increased $189 million, or 8.2%, in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to higher pay rates and benefit expenses driven by the extension of the current collective bargaining agreement with the pilots, an increase in profit sharing primarily due to increased profitability and a 1.0% increase in average full-time equivalent employees.

Aircraft fuel expense decreased $646 million, or 34.7%, year-over-year primarily due to a 34.1% decrease in the average price per gallon of aircraft fuel in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the year-ago period. The table below presents the significant changes in aircraft fuel cost per gallon in the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the year-ago period:

Regional capacity purchase decreased $48 million or 8.4% in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to a decrease in regional capacity, a decrease in one-time start-up and exit costs and timing of pass-through maintenance costs, partially offset by contractual rate increases.

Depreciation and amortization increased $50 million, or 11.7%, in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to additions in new aircraft, aircraft improvements and conversions of operating leases to capital leases.

Aircraft rent decreased $23 million, or 11.4%, in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to the purchase or capital lease conversion of several operating leased aircraft, lower lease renewal rates for certain aircraft and lease expirations.

Details of the Company’s special charges include the following for the three months ended March 31 (in millions):

See Note 10 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.

Other operating expenses increased $53 million, or 4.5%, in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to food and technology costs associated with the Company’s enhanced customer experience initiatives, increases in ground handling costs due to higher rates at certain stations, and rate-driven increases in personnel-related expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current Liquidity

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $4.0 billion in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, as compared to $5.2 billion at December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, the Company also had $180 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents, which is primarily collateral for performance bonds, letters of credit, estimated future workers’ compensation claims and credit card processing agreements. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had its entire commitment capacity of $1.35 billion under the revolving credit facility of the Company’s 2013 Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) available for letters of credit or borrowings.

As is the case with many of our principal competitors, we have a high proportion of debt compared to capital and a deficit in working capital. We have a significant amount of fixed obligations, including debt, aircraft leases and financings, leases of airport property and other facilities, and pension funding obligations. At March 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $11.6 billion of debt and capital lease obligations, including $1.4 billion that will become due in the next 12 months. In addition, we have substantial noncancelable commitments for capital expenditures, including the acquisition of new aircraft and related spare engines. As of March 31, 2016, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $6.2 billion. However, approximately $7.1 billion of our current liabilities are related to our Advance ticket sales and Frequent flyer deferred revenue, both of which largely represent revenue to be recognized for travel in the near future and not actual cash outlays. The deficit in working capital does not have an adverse impact to our cash flows, liquidity or operations.

The Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to prepay its debt, including open market repurchases, to reduce its indebtedness and related interest.

As of March 31, 2016, United had firm commitments and options to purchase aircraft from The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), Embraer S.A. (“Embraer”) and Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”) presented in the table below:

 

Aircraft Type

   Number of Firm
         Commitments (a)

Boeing 777-300ER

     14   

Boeing 787-8/-9/-10

     23   

Embraer E175

     9   

 

  
(a) United also has options and purchase rights for additional aircraft.   

The aircraft listed in the table above are scheduled for delivery through 2024. For the remainder of 2016, United expects to take delivery of 13 Boeing 737NG aircraft, one Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, two Boeing 787-9 aircraft and nine Embraer E175 aircraft. United expects to assign the nine Embraer E175 aircraft immediately prior to each aircraft’s delivery by Embraer to a designated United Express operator.

As of March 31, 2016, United has secured backstop financing commitments from certain of its aircraft manufacturers for a limited number of its future aircraft deliveries, subject to certain customary conditions. Financing may be necessary to satisfy the Company’s capital commitments for its firm order aircraft and other related capital expenditures.

As of March 31, 2016, UAL and United have total capital commitments primarily related to the acquisition of aircraft and related spare engines, aircraft improvements and acquisition of information technology services and assets of approximately $23.2 billion, of which approximately $2.9 billion, $3.9 billion, $3.9 billion, $3.2 billion, $2.4 billion and $6.9 billion are due in the last nine months of 2016 and for the full year for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and thereafter, respectively. Any new firm aircraft orders, including through the exercise of purchase options and purchase rights, will increase the total future capital commitments of the Company.

As of March 31, 2016, a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, principally aircraft, route authorities, airport slots and loyalty program intangible assets, was pledged under various loan and other agreements. We must sustain our profitability and/or access the capital markets to meet our significant long-term debt and capital lease obligations and future commitments for capital expenditures, including the acquisition of aircraft and related spare engines.

Credit Ratings. As of the filing date of this report, UAL and United had the following corporate credit ratings:

 

     S&P    Moody’s    Fitch
UAL    BB-    Ba3    BB-
United    BB-    *    BB-

* The credit agency does not issue corporate credit ratings for subsidiary entities.

These credit ratings are below investment grade levels. Downgrades from these rating levels, among other things, could restrict the availability or increase the cost of future financing for the Company.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities. Cash flow provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.2 billion compared to $1.8 billion in the same period in 2015. The decrease is primarily attributable to differences in working capital changes in the first quarter of 2016 versus the prior year. The following were significant working capital items in 2016: Cash flows decreased as the company paid approximately $0.7 billion in profit sharing to qualified employees in 2016 (as compared to approximately $0.2 billion in 2015). Further, credit card receivables increased by approximately $0.2 billion as a result of a temporary cash transfer issue with a credit card company, which was resolved in April 2016. Frequent flyer deferred revenue and advanced purchase of miles decreased by approximately $0.1 billion due to increased utilization of pre-purchased miles. These decreases from working capital items were partially offset by $0.1 billion in lower pension obligation funding.

Investing Activities. Capital expenditures were $0.8 billion and $0.2 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were primarily attributable to the purchase of aircraft, facility and fleet-related costs. In addition to capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2016, we acquired one aircraft through the issuance of debt.

Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company made debt and capital lease payments of $261 million.

In January 2015, the holders of substantially all of the remaining $202 million principal amount of United’s 4.5% Convertible Notes due 2015 exercised their conversion option resulting in the issuance of 11 million shares of UAL common stock.

In the first quarter of 2015, UAL used cash to repurchase $18 million par value 6% Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in market transactions. On April 1, 2015, UAL used cash to redeem, at par, the remaining $303 million balance of the 2026 Notes.

In the first quarter of 2015, UAL used cash to repurchase $13 million par value 6% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) in market transactions. On May 1, 2015, UAL used cash to redeem, at par, the remaining $298 million balance of the 2028 Notes.

In the first quarter of 2015, United issued $0.7 billion of debt related to a 2014 enhanced equipment trust certificates offering to finance new aircraft.

As of March 31, 2016, United had its entire capacity of $1.35 billion available under the revolving credit facility of the Company’s Credit Agreement. See Note 11 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Annual Report”) for additional information on the terms of the Credit Agreement.

The obligations of United under the Credit Agreement are secured by liens on certain international route authorities between certain specified cities, certain take-off and landing rights and related assets of United. Certain covenants in the Credit Agreement and in the Company’s indentures are summarized in Note 11 of the 2015 Annual Report. The Company was in compliance with all of these covenants as of March 31, 2016.

Share Repurchase Program. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, UAL repurchased 27 million shares of UAL common stock in open market transactions for $1.5 billion, of which $0.1 billion settled in April 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $948 million remaining to purchase shares under the 2015 Program. The Company expects to complete its repurchases under the 2015 Program by September 30, 2016. UAL will repurchase shares of UAL common stock subject to prevailing market conditions, and may discontinue such repurchases at any time. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this report for additional information.

Commitments, Contingencies and Liquidity Matters. As described in the 2015 Annual Report, the Company’s liquidity may be adversely impacted by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, obligations associated with fuel hedge settlements and related collateral requirements, pension funding obligations, reserve requirements associated with credit card processing agreements, guarantees, commitments and contingencies. See the 2015 Annual Report and Notes 5, 7, 8 and 9 to the financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.

Other. In April 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) announced that it will designate Newark Liberty International Airport (“Newark”) as a Level 2 schedule-facilitated airport under the International Air Transport Association Worldwide Slot Guidelines effective October 30, 2016. Newark is currently designated as a Level 3 slot-controlled airport. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of the change in designation on its $412 million intangible asset related to its Newark slots. Further, the Newark slots serve as part of the collateral for the term loans under the Credit Agreement and under the Second Amended and Restated Co-Branded Card Marketing Services Agreement with Chase Bank USA, N.A. The Company is evaluating the impact of the FAA’s action on the Newark slot collateral for the term loans and to the extent necessary, the Company will substitute other collateral.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company evaluates its financial performance utilizing various GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures, including CASM and Non-GAAP net income (net income excluding special charges and reflecting Hedge Program Adjustments). CASM is a common metric used in the airline industry to measure an airline’s cost structure and efficiency. The Non-GAAP financial measures in this report are presented because they provide management and investors the ability to measure and monitor the

Company’s performance on a consistent basis. The Company believes that adjusting for special charges is useful to investors because they are nonrecurring charges not indicative of UAL’s ongoing performance. In addition, the Company believes that reflecting Hedge Program Adjustments is useful because the adjustments allow investors to better understand the cash impact of settled fuel derivative contracts in a given period. Reconciliations of net income and diluted earnings per share to the Non-GAAP financial measures of net income and diluted earnings per share, excluding special charges and reflecting Hedge Program Adjustments, for the three months ended March 31 are as follows in the tables below (in millions, except per share amounts):

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2015 Annual Report except as follows:

Aircraft Fuel. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had hedged approximately 12% of its projected fuel requirements (378 million gallons) for the remainder of 2016 with commonly used financial hedge instruments based on aircraft fuel or crude oil. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had fuel hedges expiring through December 2016.

At March 31, 2016, fuel derivatives were in a net liability position of $32 million. See Note 7 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information related to fuel hedges.

The fuel derivative portfolio is comprised of many individual derivative contracts (primarily option contracts) on multiple underlying commodities and entered into at various points in time, resulting in a wide range of strike prices with several hedge counterparties. The table below provides a view of the economic impact of the fuel derivative portfolio on the Company’s fuel costs given significant moves (up to +/-30%) in market fuel prices from March 31, 2016 (in millions).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation to conclude with reasonable assurance that UAL’s and United’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed and operating effectively to report the information each company is required to disclose in the reports they file with the SEC on a timely basis. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the acting Chief Financial Officer of UAL and United have concluded that as of March 31, 2016, disclosure controls and procedures of each of UAL and United were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting during the Quarter Ended March 31, 2016

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no changes in UAL’s or United’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, their internal control over financial reporting (as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

(a) On July 21, 2015, UAL’s Board of Directors authorized a new $3 billion share repurchase program. UAL may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, UAL repurchased 27 million shares of UAL common stock in open market transactions for $1.5 billion, of which $0.1 billion settled in April 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $948 million remaining to purchase shares under the 2015 Program. The Company expects to complete its repurchases under the 2015 Program by September 30, 2016. UAL will repurchase shares of UAL common stock subject to prevailing market conditions, and may discontinue such repurchases at any time.

The table does not include shares withheld from employees to satisfy certain tax obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock. The United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan provides for the withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock. However, this plan does not specify a maximum number of shares that may be withheld for this purpose. A total of 60,275 shares were withheld under this plan in the first quarter of 2016 at an average share price of $55.35.

(b) Average price paid per share is calculated on a settlement basis and excludes commission.

2.2 Special Meetings.

(a) A special meeting of the Stockholders may be called by (i) both the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman or (ii) the Board, and at an hour and date as shall be determined by them.

(b) Subject to this Section 2.2 and other applicable provisions of these Restated Bylaws, a special meeting of Stockholders shall be called by the Secretary upon the written request (each such request, a “Special Meeting Request” and such meeting, a “Stockholder Requested Special Meeting”) of one or more Stockholders of record of the Corporation that together have continuously held, for their own account or on behalf of others, beneficial ownership of at least a twenty-five percent (25%) aggregate “net long position” of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Requisite Percentage”) for at least one year prior to the date such request is delivered to the Corporation (such period, the “One-Year Period”). For purposes of determining the Requisite Percentage, “net long position” shall be determined with respect to each requesting holder in accordance with the definition thereof set forth in Rule 14e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Act”); provided that (x) for purposes of such definition, (A) “the date that a tender offer is first publicly announced or otherwise made known by the bidder to the holders of the security to be acquired” shall be the date of the relevant Special Meeting Request, (B) the “highest tender offer price or stated amount of the consideration offered for the subject security” shall refer to the closing sales price of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or any successor thereto) on such date (or, if such date is not a trading day, the next succeeding trading day), (C) the “person whose securities are the subject of the offer” shall refer to the Corporation, and (D) a “subject security” shall refer to the outstanding Common Stock; and (y) the net long position of such holder shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such holder does not, or will not, have the right to vote or direct the vote at the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting or as to which such holder has, at any time during the One-Year Period, entered into any derivative or other agreement, arrangement or understanding that hedges or transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such shares and which derivative or other agreement, arrangement or understanding remains in effect. Whether the requesting holders have submitted valid Special Meeting Requests representing the Requisite Percentage and complying with the requirements of this Section 2.2 and related provisions of these Restated Bylaws (a “Valid Special Meeting Request”) shall be determined in good faith by the Board, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and the Stockholders.

(c) In order for a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting to be called, one or more Special Meeting Requests must be signed by the Requisite Percentage of Stockholders submitting such request and by each of the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is being made and must be delivered to the Secretary. The Special Meeting Request(s) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation by nationally recognized private overnight courier service, return receipt requested. Each Special Meeting Request shall (i) set forth a statement of the specific purpose(s) of the requested special meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it, (ii) bear the date of signature of each such Stockholder signing the Special Meeting Request, (iii) set forth (A) the name and address, as they appear in the Corporation’s books, of each Stockholder signing such

request and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf such request is made and (B) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by each such Stockholder and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf such request is made, (iv) set forth any material interest of each Stockholder signing the Special Meeting Request in the business desired to be brought before the special meeting, (v) include documentary evidence that the Stockholders requesting the special meeting own the Requisite Percentage as of the date on which the Special Meeting Request is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation; provided, however, that if the Stockholders are not the beneficial owners of the shares constituting all or part of the Requisite Percentage, then to be valid, the Special Meeting Request must also include documentary evidence (or, if not simultaneously provided with the Special Meeting Request, such documentary evidence must be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation within ten (10) days after the date on which the Special Meeting Request is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation) that the beneficial owners on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is made beneficially own such shares as of the date on which such Special Meeting Request is delivered to the Secretary, (vi) an agreement by each of the Stockholders requesting the special meeting and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is being made to notify the Corporation promptly in the event of any decrease in the net long position held by such Stockholder or beneficial owner following the delivery of such Special Meeting Request and prior to the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting and an acknowledgement that any such decrease shall be deemed to be a revocation of such Special Meeting Request by such Stockholder or beneficial owner to the extent of such reduction, (vii) contain any other information that would be a Disclosable Interest, as defined in Section 2.10(a)(3)(B)(vi) of these Restated Bylaws, if such Stockholder or beneficial owner, as applicable, were a Proposing Person, as defined in Section 2.10(a)(2) of these Restated Bylaws and (viii) if the purpose of the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting includes the election of one or more Directors, contain any other information that would be required to be set forth set forth with respect to a proposed nominee pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(3)(C) of these Restated Bylaws. Each Stockholder making a Special Meeting Request and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is being made is required to update such Special Meeting Request delivered pursuant to this Section 2.2 in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.10(a)(4) of these Restated Bylaws. Any requesting Stockholder may revoke his, her or its Special Meeting Request at any time prior to the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting by written revocation delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. There shall be no requirement to hold a special meeting (and the Board may cancel the special meeting) if the unrevoked (taking into account any specific written revocation or any reduction in the net long position held by such Stockholder, as described above) Special Meeting Requests represent in the aggregate less than the Requisite Percentage at any time after (a) a Valid Special Meeting Request has been delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation or (b) sixty (60) days following the earliest dated Special Meeting Request.

(d) In determining whether Special Meeting Requests have met the requirements of this Section 2.2, multiple Special Meeting Requests will be considered together only if (i) each Special Meeting Request identifies substantially the same purpose or purposes of the requested special meeting and substantially the same matters proposed to be acted on at the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting (in each case as determined in good faith by the Board), and (ii) such Special Meeting Requests have been delivered to the Secretary within 60 days of the delivery to the Secretary of the earliest dated Special Meeting Request relating to such item(s) of business.

 

4


(e) If none of the Stockholders who submitted a Special Meeting Request appears or sends a qualified representative to present the item of business submitted by the Stockholders for consideration at the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, such item of business shall not be submitted for vote of the Stockholders at such Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation or such Stockholder(s). A Special Meeting Request shall not be valid (and the Board shall have no obligation to call a special meeting in respect of such Special Meeting Request) if it relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for Stockholder action under applicable law, was made in a manner that involved a violation of an applicable law or regulation, would violate the law, would cause the Corporation to violate the law or does not comply with the provisions of this Section 2.2. The procedures set forth in this Section 2.2 are the exclusive means by which items of business may be raised by Stockholders at a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting.

(f) Except as provided in the next sentence, a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be held at such date, time and place within or without the State of Delaware as may be fixed by the Board; provided, however, that the date of any such Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be not more than ninety (90) days after the date on which a Valid Special Meeting Request has been delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation (such date of delivery being the “Delivery Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting need not be held if (i) the Board has called or calls a meeting of Stockholders to be held within 90 days after the Delivery Date and the business of such meeting includes (among any other matters properly brought forth before the meeting) an item of business that is identical or substantially similar (as determined in good faith by the Board, a “Similar Item”) to an item of business specified in the Special Meeting Request or Requests, (ii) the Delivery Date is during the period commencing ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the earlier of (A) the date of the next annual meeting and (B) thirty (30) days after the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, or (iii) the subject of such Special Meeting Request or Requests contains a Similar Item to an item of business that was voted on at any meeting of Stockholders held within 120 days prior to the Delivery Date (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 2.2, the election or removal of directors shall be deemed a Similar Item with respect to all items involving the election or removal of directors).

Written notice of a special meeting stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which Stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each Stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.

Any notice relating to a special meeting appropriately called pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall describe the item or items of business to be considered at such special meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the matters identified in the Corporation’s notice given pursuant to Section 2.4; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board from including in such notice and submitting to the Stockholders additional matters to be considered at any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting.

2.3 Place of Meetings. All meetings of Stockholders shall be held at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, as may from time to time be fixed by the Board or as specified or fixed in the respective notices. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of the Stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto). Any previously-scheduled meeting of the Stockholders may be postponed by action of the Board taken prior to the time previously scheduled for such annual meeting of Stockholders.

2.4 Notices of Stockholders’ Meetings. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5 or otherwise required by the Restated Certificate or applicable law, written notice of each meeting of Stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given to each Stockholder required or permitted to take any action at, or entitled to notice of, such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, by delivering such notice to him or her, personally, by mail or by electronic transmission in the manner provided by law. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, with postage prepaid, directed to the Stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the stock ledger of the Corporation. Every notice of a meeting of Stockholders shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

2.5 Waivers of Notice. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Restated Bylaws, notice of any meeting of Stockholders shall not be required as to any Stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person or be represented by proxy, except when such Stockholder attends such meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business at such meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. If any Stockholder shall, in person or represented by proxy, waive notice of any meeting, whether before or after such meeting, notice thereof shall not be required as to such Stockholder.

2.6 Quorum Requirements and Required Vote at Stockholder Meetings.

(a) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Restated Certificate or these Restated Bylaws, at all meetings of Stockholders the presence, in person or represented by proxy, of the holders of outstanding shares representing at least a majority of the total voting power entitled to vote at a meeting of Stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote of a class or classes or series of stock is required, the presence in person or represented by proxy of the holders of outstanding shares representing at least a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of such class or classes or series shall constitute a quorum thereof entitled to take action with respect to such separate vote.

(b) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Restated Certificate or these Restated Bylaws, each holder of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on any matter at any meeting of the Stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock standing in

 

6


the name of such holder on the stock ledger of the Corporation on the record date for the determination of the Stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Restated Certificate or these Restated Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter at a meeting of Stockholders at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Stockholders. Except as required by applicable law, the method of voting and the manner in which votes are counted shall be discretionary with the presiding officer at the meeting.

(c) Except as otherwise required by the Restated Certificate, each director shall be elected by vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected at any meeting of Stockholders as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (regardless of whether or not the proxy statement is thereafter revised or supplemented), then each director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. For purposes of this Section 2.6(c), “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “for” a director exceeds the number of shares voted “against” that director (with “abstentions” and “broker nonvotes” not counted as a vote cast either “for” or “against” that director’s election).

(d) The holders of a majority in voting power of the shares entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of Stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn such meeting to another time and place. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Restated Certificate or these Restated Bylaws, no notice of an adjourned meeting need be given.

2.7 Proxies. Each Stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of Stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy executed in writing by the Stockholder or as otherwise permitted by law, or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact, but such proxy shall no longer be valid eleven months after the date of such proxy. Such proxy must be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or his or her representative at or before the time of the meeting.

2.8 Inspectors. The Board by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives of the Corporation, to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act, or if all inspectors or alternates who have been appointed are unable to act, at the meeting of Stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by the

 

7


DGCL. The chairman of the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the Stockholders will vote at a meeting.

2.9 Conduct of Stockholders’ Meetings. The Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Board, as designated by the Board, or, in their absence or the absence of any such designation, the appointee of the presiding officer of the meeting, shall preside at all meetings of Stockholders and may establish such rules of procedure for conducting the meetings as he or she deems fair and reasonable. The Secretary, or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary, or if none be present, the appointee of the presiding officer of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

2.10 Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. Any Stockholder who wishes to include nominations of persons for election to the Board in the Corporation’s proxy statement for an annual meeting of Stockholders must comply with Section 2.13. This Section 2.10 sets forth certain procedures required for Stockholders to nominate persons for election to the Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the Stockholders at an annual meeting if the Stockholder does not wish the nomination or other business to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement.

(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the Stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of Stockholders only (A) if brought before the meeting by the Corporation and specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting delivered pursuant to Section 2.4, (B) if brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (C) if brought before the meeting by a Stockholder who (i) was a Stockholder of record (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf any nomination or proposal is made, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of capital stock of the Corporation) both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.10, and at the time of the meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) has complied with this Section 2.10 as to such nominations or other business. Except for proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, and included in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, and except for nominations of persons for election to the Board pursuant to Section 2.13, the foregoing clause (C) shall be the exclusive means for a Stockholder to propose business to be considered or to propose any nominations of persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting of the Stockholders.

(2) Without exception, for any nominations of persons for election to the Board or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a Stockholder, in each case, pursuant to clause (C) of paragraph (a)(1) of this Section 2.10, the Stockholder must (x) have given timely notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation and (y) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.10. To be timely, a Stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the

 

8


principal executive offices of the Corporation not more than 120 days and not less than 90 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 60 days, from such anniversary date, notice by the Stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Stockholder’s notice. For purposes of this Section 2.10, the term “Proposing Person” means (i) the Stockholder providing the notice of a proposed nomination or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the proposed nomination or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting is made, and (iii) any affiliate or associate (for purposes of these Restated Bylaws, each within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such Stockholder or beneficial owner.

(3) To be in proper form, a Stockholder’s notice (whether given pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) or paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10) shall set forth:

 

  (A) As to each Proposing Person:

 

  (i) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s stock ledger); and

 

  (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to as “Stockholder Information”);

 

  (B) As to each Proposing Person:

 

  (i)

any derivative, swap or other transaction or series of transactions engaged in, directly or indirectly, by such Proposing Person, the purpose or effect of which is to give such Proposing Person economic risk similar to ownership of shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation, including due to the fact that the value of such derivative, swap or other transaction is determined by

 

9


  reference to the price, value or volatility of any shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation, or which derivative, swap or other transactions provide, directly or indirectly, the opportunity to profit from any increase in the price or value of shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation (“Synthetic Equity Interests”), which such Synthetic Equity Interests shall be disclosed without regard to whether (x) such derivative, swap or other transactions convey any voting rights in such shares to such Proposing Person, (y) the derivative, swap or other transactions are required to be, or are capable of being, settled through delivery of such shares or (z) such Proposing Person may have entered into other transactions that hedge or mitigate the economic effect of such derivative, swap or other transaction;

 

  (ii) any proxy (other than a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by way of a solicitation statement filed on Schedule 14A), agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Proposing Person has or shares a right to vote any shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation;

 

  (iii) any agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship, including any repurchase or similar so-called “stock borrowing” agreement or arrangement, engaged in, directly or indirectly, by such Proposing Person, the purpose or effect of which is to mitigate loss to, reduce the economic risk (of ownership or otherwise) of shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation by, manage the risk of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such Proposing Person with respect to the shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation, or which provides, directly or indirectly, the opportunity to profit from any decrease in the price or value of the shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation (“Short Interests”);

 

  (iv) any rights to dividends on the shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation;

 

  (v)

any performance related fees (other than an asset based fee) that such Proposing Person is entitled to based on any

 

10


  increase or decrease in the price or value of shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation, or any Synthetic Equity Interests or Short Interests, if any; and

 

  (vi) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the nomination for election of Directors or the other business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the Stockholder of record directed to prepare and submit the information required by this Section 2.10 on behalf of a beneficial owner.

 

  (C) As to each person, if any, whom a Proposing Person proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Director:

 

  (i) all information with respect to such proposed nominee that would be required to be set forth in a Stockholder’s notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 if such proposed nominee were a Proposing Person;

 

  (ii) all information relating to such proposed nominee that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of Directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14(a) under the Exchange Act (including such proposed nominee’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); and

 

  (iii)

a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among any Proposing Person, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee and his or her respective affiliates and associates, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404

 

11


  under Regulation S-K if such Proposing Person were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the proposed nominee were a Director or executive officer of such registrant; and

 

  (D) As to any business other than nominations for election of Directors that a Proposing Person proposes to bring before an annual meeting:

 

  (i) a reasonably brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of any Proposing Person;

 

  (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration); and

 

  (iii) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons and (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other record or beneficial owner of capital stock of the Corporation (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such Stockholder.

(4) A Stockholder providing notice of a proposed nomination for election to the Board or other business proposed to be brought before a meeting (whether given pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) or paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10) shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment of postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). The Corporation may also require any proposed nominee for election to the Board to furnish such other information (i) as may be reasonably required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent Director of the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation’s corporate governance guidelines as then in effect or (ii) that could be material to a reasonable Stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee.

 

12


(5) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 2.10 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board at the annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Corporation at least ten days before the last day a Stockholder could otherwise deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with such paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 2.10, a Stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.10 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(b) Special Meeting of Stockholders.

Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of Stockholders called pursuant to Section 2.2 as shall have been properly brought before such meeting in accordance with Section 2.2. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of Stockholders called pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (a “Management Requested Special Meeting”) at which Directors are properly to be elected only (1) by or at the direction of the Board or (2) by any Stockholder who (A) was a Stockholder of record (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf any nomination is made, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation) both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.10 and at the time of the Management Requested Special Meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at such Management Requested Special Meeting and (C) complied with this paragraph (b) and paragraph (a)(3) of this Section 2.10 as to such nominations. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 2.13 shall not apply to a special meeting of Stockholders, and the Corporation shall not be required to include a Director nominee of a Stockholder or group of Stockholders in the Corporation’s proxy statement or form of proxy or ballot for any special meeting of Stockholders. Without exception, in order for a Stockholder to present any nominations of persons for election to the Board at such a Management Requested Special Meeting, pursuant to clause (2) of this paragraph (b), the Stockholder must (x) have given timely notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation (which notice shall include disclosure of the information that is required by the applicable provisions of paragraph (a)(3) of this Section 2.10) and (y) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by paragraph (a)(4) of this Section 2.10. To be timely, a Stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the one hundred twentieth day prior to the date of such Management Requested Special Meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the ninetieth day prior to the date of such special meeting and (y) the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of such Management Requested Special Meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such Management Requested Special Meeting. In no event shall any adjournment of a Management Requested Special Meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Stockholder’s notice as described above.

(b) Proxy Access at Annual Meeting. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.13, if expressly requested in the relevant Nomination Notice, the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for any annual meeting of Stockholders:

(1) the name of any Stockholder Nominee, which shall also be included on the Corporation’s form of proxy and ballot;

(2) disclosure about the Stockholder Nominee and the Nominating Stockholder required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable law to be included in the proxy statement;

(3) any statement included by the Nominating Stockholder in the Nomination Notice for inclusion in the proxy statement in support of the Stockholder Nominee’s election to the Board (subject, without limitation, to Section 2.13(g)(4)), if such statement does not exceed 500 words; and

(4) any other information that the Corporation or the Board determines, in its discretion, to include in the proxy statement relating to the nomination of the Stockholder Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination, information relating to any Compensation Arrangement and/or Voting Commitment, and any of the information provided pursuant to this Section 2.13.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not apply to a special meeting of Stockholders, and the Corporation shall not be required to include a Director nominee of a Stockholder or group of Stockholders in the Corporation’s proxy statement or form of proxy or ballot for any special meeting of Stockholders.

(c) Maximum Number of Stockholder Nominees.

(1) The Corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy statement for an annual meeting of Stockholders more Stockholder Nominees than the Maximum Number. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board after the deadline set forth in Section 2.13(e) but before the date of the annual meeting and the Board resolves to reduce the size of the Board in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of Directors in office as so reduced. The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting shall be reduced by:

 

  (A) Stockholder Nominees whose nominations for election at such annual meeting are subsequently withdrawn;

 

  (B) Stockholder Nominees who the Board itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting;

 

  (C) the number of incumbent Directors or Director candidates (including, without limitation, candidates who are not Stockholder Nominees) that in either case will be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for an annual meeting of Stockholders as an unopposed (by the Corporation) nominee pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or other understanding with any Stockholder or group of Stockholders; provided, however, that the Union Directors shall not be included in this number; and

 

  (D) the number of incumbent Directors who had been Stockholder Nominees at any of the preceding two annual meetings of Stockholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Board.

(2) Any Nominating Stockholder submitting more than one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall rank such Stockholder Nominees based on the order that the Nominating Stockholder desires such Stockholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials. In the event that the number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Nominating Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.13 exceeds the Maximum Number, the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 2.13 from each Nominating Stockholder will be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation that each Nominating Stockholder disclosed as Owned in its respective Nomination Notice submitted to the Corporation. This selection process will continue with the next highest ranked nominees as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Maximum Number is reached.

 

18


(d) Eligible Stockholders.

(1) An Eligible Stockholder or Nominator Group may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 2.13 only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously Owned at least the Minimum Number (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or similar events) of shares of Common Stock throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Nomination Notice, and continues to Own at least the Minimum Number of shares through the date of the annual meeting. The following shall be treated as one Eligible Stockholder or one member of a Nominator Group if such Eligible Stockholder or member of a Nominator Group shall provide together with the Nomination Notice documentation that demonstrates compliance with the following criteria:

 

  (A) funds under common management and investment control;

 

  (B) funds under common management and funded primarily by the same employer; or

 

  (C) a “family of investment companies” or a “group of investment companies” (each as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by a Nominator Group, any and all requirements and obligations for a given Eligible Stockholder (including, without limitation, each and every fund or company that comprises the Nominator Group) that are set forth in this Section 2.13, including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each member of such Nominator Group; provided, however, that the Minimum Number shall apply to the Ownership of the Nominator Group in the aggregate. Should any Stockholder withdraw from a Nominator Group at any time prior to the annual meeting of Stockholders, the Nominator Group shall only be deemed to Own the shares held by the remaining members of the group.

(2) No Stockholder shall be permitted to be in more than one Nominator Group, and if any Stockholder appears as a member of more than one Nominator Group, or as a member of a Nominator Group and as a Nominating Stockholder without any such group, such Stockholder shall be deemed to be a member of only the Nominator Group that has the largest Ownership position as reflected in the Nomination Notice and is not permitted to act as a Nominating Stockholder separate from such Nominator Group.

(e) Timely Nomination Notice. To be timely, the Nomination Notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation:

(b) A determination of Stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

(c) Only Stockholders that are Stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Stockholders and any adjournment thereof or to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for any other purpose, as applicable, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the stock ledger of the Corporation after any record date so fixed.

1. Formula.

Airframe and Optional Features price adjustments (Airframe Price Adjustment) are used to *** to be *** in *** at the signing of this Purchase Agreement and *** to be *** at *** for the *** of ***. The Airframe Price Adjustment will be *** at the time of *** in accordance with the following formula:

***

Where:

 

*** = ***. For 737NG Aircraft, the Airframe Price includes the *** at its basic thrust level.

 

*** = *** plus the *** as set forth in either

(i) Table 1A of this Purchase Agreement for the 737-*** Aircraft for ***; and

(ii) Any other Table 1 for Non 737-*** Aircraft incorporating ***.

***

Where:

*** is the *** as set forth in either:

(i) Table 1A of this Purchase Agreement for the 737-*** Aircraft for ***; and

(ii) Any other Table 1 for Non 737-*** Aircraft incorporating ***.

*** is the ***, using ***; As the *** values are only released on a *** basis, the value released for the *** will be used for the months of *** (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth).

 

UAL-PA-03784-AE1    SA-9    AE1 Page 2

BOEING / UNITED AIRLINES PROPRIETARY


*** is the ***, using the ***; As the *** values are only released on a ***, the value released for the *** will be used for the *** (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth).

*** is a *** determined using the ***, calculated by establishing a *** arithmetic average value (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the *** prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the applicable Aircraft. As the *** are only released on a ***, the value released for the *** will be used for the ***; the value released for the *** will be used for the ***; the value released for the *** will be used for the months of ***; the value released for the *** will be used for the ***.

***

Where:

*** is the *** as set forth in:

(i) Table 1A of this Purchase Agreement for the 737-*** Aircraft for ***; and

(ii) Any other Table 1 for Non 737-*** Aircraft incorporating ***.

*** is a *** determined using the ***, calculated as a *** arithmetic average of the released monthly values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the *** prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the applicable Aircraft.

As an example, for an Aircraft scheduled to be delivered in the month of ***, the months of *** of the *** will be utilized in determining the value of *** and ***.

See the following notes which are determinative to the computations herein.

Notes:

 

(i) In determining the values of *** and ***, all calculations and resulting values will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth.

 

(ii) *** is the numeric ratio attributed to *** in the Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

 

(iii) *** is the numeric ratio attributed to *** in the Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

 

(iv) The *** are the actual average values reported by the ***. The actual average values are calculated as a *** arithmetic average of the released monthly values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the *** the airframe base year. The applicable base year and corresponding denominator is provided by Boeing in Table *** of this Purchase Agreement.

 

(v) The final value of *** will be rounded to the nearest dollar.

(vi) The *** if it will *** in the ***.

 

2. Values to be Utilized in the Event of Unavailability.

2.1 If the *** revises the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the *** and *** values (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of previously released values), or for any reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable Airframe Price Adjustment, the parties will, prior to the delivery of any such Aircraft, select a substitute from other *** or ***. Such substitute will result in the same adjustment, insofar as possible, as would have been calculated utilizing the original values adjusted for fluctuation during the applicable time period. However, if within *** after delivery of the Aircraft, the *** should resume releasing values for the months needed to determine the Airframe Price Adjustment, *** will be used *** or *** in the *** for the *** from that *** at the *** of *** of ***.

2.2 Notwithstanding Article 2.1 above, if prior to the scheduled delivery month of an Aircraft the *** changes the base year for determination of the *** and *** values as defined above, such *** will be *** in the ***.

2.3 In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or otherwise rendered void by any agency of the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to *** the *** of any *** to *** an *** for *** or *** with the *** of *** of this *** in *** and *** since *** of the *** to the *** in ***.

2.4 If within *** of Aircraft delivery, the published index values are revised due to an acknowledged error by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Airframe Price Adjustment will be *** (this does not include those values noted as preliminary by the ***). A *** or *** will be issued *** for the period of original invoice to issuance *** or ***.

Notes:

 

(i) The values released by the *** and available to Boeing *** prior to the first day of the scheduled delivery month of an Aircraft will be used to determine the *** and *** for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the ***) to calculate the Airframe Price Adjustment for the Aircraft invoice at the time of delivery. The values will be considered final and *** will be *** for any *** in ***.

 

(ii) The maximum number of digits to the right of the decimal after rounding utilized in any part of the Airframe Price Adjustment equation will be four (4), where rounding of the fourth digit will be increased to the next highest digit when the 5th digit is equal to five (5) or greater.
