INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13E-3 relates to a recapitalization (the
"Recapitalization") of UAL Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"
or "UAL") pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of
Recapitalization dated as of March 25, 1994, as amended, (the "Plan of
Recapitalization") among UAL, the Air Line Pilots Association, International
("ALPA") and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
(the "IAM"). Under the Plan of Recapitalization, each share of common stock,
par value $5 per share, of the Company (the "Old Shares") that is outstanding
at the Effective Time (as defined in the Plan of Recapitalization) will be
converted into, and become a right to receive, one half (0.5) of a share of new
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "New Shares") and
one one-thousandth of a share of Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock, without
par value, of the Company (the "Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock").
Concurrently with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Plan of
Recapitalization, United Air Lines, Inc. ("United") expects to offer up to
$382.5 million principal amount of its Series A Debentures due 2004 (the
"Series A Debentures") (the "United Series A Offering") and up to $382.5
million principal amount of its Series B Debentures due 2014 (the "Series B
Debentures" and, together with the Series A Debentures, the "Debentures") (the
"United Series B Offering" and, together with the United Series A Offering, the
"United Debt Offerings") and the Company expects to offer up to 30,600,000
depositary shares (the "Depositary Preferred Shares") representing interests in
$765.0 million liquidation preference of Series B Preferred Stock of the
Company (the "Public Preferred Stock") (the "UAL Preferred Offering" and,
together with the United Series A Offering and the United Series B Offering,
the "Offerings"). Immediately upon issuance, the Company will redeem each one
one-thousandth of a share of Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock for:
(i) $25.80 in cash,
(ii) either (a) $15.55 principal amount of Series A Debentures or (b) if
the United Series A Offering is consummated, the cash proceeds (without
deducting any underwriting discount or other costs) from the sale thereof
by United pursuant to the United Series A Offering,
(iii) either (a) $15.55 principal amount of Series B Debentures or (b) if
the United Series B Offering is consummated, the cash proceeds (without
deducting any underwriting discount or other costs) from the sale thereof
by United pursuant to the United Series B Offering and
(iv) either (a) Depositary Preferred Shares representing interests in
$31.10 liquidation preference of Public Preferred Stock or (b) if the UAL
Preferred Offering is consummated, the cash proceeds (without deducting any
underwriting discount or other costs) from the sale thereof by the Company
pursuant to the UAL Preferred Offering.
In addition, the Plan of Recapitalization provides for (1) certain amendments
to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws that will, among other
things, effectuate the Recapitalization and put into place the revised
corporate governance structure contemplated by the Plan of Recapitalization and
(2) the issuance of new classes of preferred stock that will (a) transfer
approximately 55% (which, under certain circumstances may be increased, up to a
maximum of approximately 63%) of the common equity and voting power of the
Company to employee stock ownership plans to be established for the benefit of
certain groups of employees and (b) effectuate the corporate governance
structure referred to above by permitting different constituent groups to elect
members of the Company's Board of Directors.
The Plan of Recapitalization further provides for certain amendments to the
existing ALPA collective bargaining agreement and IAM collective bargaining
agreements and the creation of a salaried and management employees cost
reduction program, all of which will become effective at the Effective Time and
are estimated to provide United with $8.2 billion in improved operating
earnings over a twelve year period with a net present value of approximately
$4.9 billion. Furthermore, certain employee benefit plans maintained by the
Company and United will be amended to permit employees to acquire substantial
amounts of the New Shares, Public Preferred Stock and the Debentures.
