INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13E-3 relates to a recapitalization (the
"Recapitalization") of UAL Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"
or "UAL") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization dated as of
March 25, 1994 (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 (a) $25.80 in cash, (b) $15.55 principal amount of Series A
Debentures due 2004 of United Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL ("United") (the "Series A Debentures"), (c)
$15.55 principal amount of Series B Debentures due 2014 of United (the "Series
B Debentures" and, together with the Series A Debentures, the "Debentures"),
(d) $31.10 liquidation value of Series B Preferred Stock, without par value, of
the Company (the "Public Preferred Stock") and (e) one half (0.5) of a share of
new Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "New Shares")
(collectively, the "Recapitalization Consideration"). 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
53% (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.
The Plan of Recapitalization is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 to
the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by UAL and United with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on the date hereof from
Exhibit 10.1 to UAL's Form 8-K dated March 28, 1994.
This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed jointly by UAL and United. By filing this
Schedule 13E-3, neither UAL nor United concedes that Rule 13e-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act of 1934") is applicable to the
Recapitalization or any other transactions contemplated by the Plan of
Recapitalization.
The information set forth in the Registration Statement and Amendment No. 1
to the Registration Statement, filed by UAL and United with the Commission on
the date hereof, including the Plan of Recapitalization and other exhibits, is
incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. The following is a summary
cross-reference sheet pursuant to General Instruction F of Schedule 13E-3,
showing the location in the Proxy Statement/Joint Prospectus that is a part of
the Registration Statement and the Plan of Recapitalization of information

are met by the Plan of Recapitalization, no attempt is made in the following
cross-reference sheet to distinguish more limited requirements of the
corresponding Form S-4 items which are also referenced.
