ITEM 8.01. Other Events
On September 7, 2005, UAL Corporation (UAL) and twenty-seven of its U.S.-based subsidiaries,
including United Air Lines, Inc. (collectively, the Debtors), filed with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the Bankruptcy Court): (a) Debtors Joint
Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Plan) and
(b) a related Disclosure Statement (the Disclosure Statement). A copy of a press release
announcing the filing of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, and copies of the Plan and
Disclosure Statement as filed with the Bankruptcy Court, are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2
and 99.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
The Disclosure Statement contains certain projections (the Projections) of financial
performance for fiscal years 2005 through 2010. The Debtors do not, as a matter of course, publish
their business plans, budgets or strategies, or make external projections or forecasts of their
anticipated financial position or results of operations. UAL has filed the Disclosure Statement as
an exhibit hereto because such Disclosure Statement has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court in
connection with the Debtors reorganization proceedings. UAL urges stakeholders to refer to the
limitations and qualifications included in the Disclosure Statement with respect to the
Projections, including without limitation those set forth under the captions Statutory
Requirements for Confirmation of the Plan Best Interests of Creditors Test/Liquidation Analysis
and Valuation Analysis, Statutory Requirements for Confirmation of the Plan Financial
Feasibility, Certain Factors to be Considered Prior to Voting Factors Affecting the Value of
the Securities to be Issued Under the Plan, Appendix B Liquidation Analysis, Appendix C
Valuation Analysis and Appendix D Projections. All information contained in the Disclosure
Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments to the Plan, actions of third
parties or otherwise.
Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the Plan until the Bankruptcy
Court approves the Disclosure Statement. Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor
should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. The Plan will become effective
only if it receives the requisite stakeholder approval and is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Exhibit 99.1
UAL FILES PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Filing Sets Path for Exit From Chapter 11 in Early 2006
Significant Operational, Financial Progress Through Restructuring Positions
United to Confront Industry Challenges
CHICAGO, September 7, 2005 UAL Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: UALAQ.OB), the holding company
whose primary subsidiary is United Airlines, today filed a Plan of Reorganization (POR) and
Disclosure Statement with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The
joint plan of reorganization includes UAL, United and 26 other subsidiaries that filed for
voluntary Chapter 11 reorganization on December 9, 2002. United intends to exit from bankruptcy
protection early next year as a much more competitive company with a solid financial foundation and
a continued focus on delivering superior customer service.
United has made tremendous progress in our restructuring to improve performance across the board,
in costs, revenue, operations and service to our customers. Today, we are more flexible, more
efficient and more resilient. As a result, United is now positioned to compete with the best
carriers and confront the challenges of a volatile industry, said Glenn Tilton, Uniteds chairman,
CEO and president.
The Disclosure Statement includes a historical profile of the company, a description of
distributions to creditors and an analysis of the plans feasibility, as well as many of the
technical matters required for the exit process, such as descriptions of who will be eligible to
vote on the POR and the voting process itself.
Under the POR as proposed, unsecured creditors generally will receive distributions of new UAL
common stock to settle their claims. Current holders of UAL common stock, preferred stock and the
13.25% Trust Originated Preferred Securities would receive no distribution, and those securities
would be canceled upon the effective date of the Plan. United has made it clear for some time that the company expected its common stock to be without
value under any plan of reorganization the company might propose.
The filing contemplates a $2.5 billion, all-debt exit financing package. As previously announced,
United has received proposals with competitive terms and conditions from four different
institutions for exit financing.
The exit financing proposals we have received are a significant vote of confidence in the progress
we have made over the course of our restructuring, our business plan and ultimately, Uniteds
future and in our ability to manage through a complex industry environment, including
unpredictable fuel costs, said Jake Brace, United executive vice president and chief financial
officer.
United is a vastly different company today than it was three years ago. The company has made
difficult, but necessary decisions and used the time well to restructure the fundamental
business, said James J. OConnor, Uniteds lead director. United now takes another significant
step forward to formally begin the process of exiting bankruptcy.
The filing indicates that the Company is exploring the possibility of a rights offering in which it
would offer unsecured creditors the opportunity to purchase, on a pro rata basis, approximately
$500 million in value of New UAL Common Stock. The proceeds of any such equity offering would be
used to provide the Company with additional capital for ongoing operational needs and/or to reduce
the amount of the exit financing facility and further strengthening the Companys capital
structure.
A hearing on the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement has been scheduled to begin on October 11,
2005. Court approval of the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement will allow UAL to begin
solicitation of votes for confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization.
The POR and Disclosure Statement filed today may be viewed at www.pd-ual.com or

Four Star Insurance Co. Ltd. and Kion de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., both incorporated outside of
the United States, and Covia LLC, ULS Ventures, Inc., and United Air Lines Ventures, Inc., each
incorporated within the United States, are wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of the
Debtors and have not commenced cases under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code nor similar
proceedings in any other jurisdiction. These wholly-owned subsidiaries continue to operate in the
ordinary course of business outside of bankruptcy.
The Plan contemplates the reorganization of the Debtors and the resolution of the outstanding
Claims against and Interests in the Debtors pursuant to Section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In
general, but subject to the specific provisions set forth in the Plan, the obligations owed to
Unsecured Creditors of the Debtors will be converted into New UAL Common Stock to be issued by
Reorganized UAL, and existing common and preferred Interest Holders of UAL will receive no
distribution on account of their existing Interests, which will be cancelled.
The Plan contemplates substantive consolidation of the Estates of the United Debtors (i.e.,
all of the Debtors other than UAL) for all purposes related to the Plan, including, without
limitation, for purposes of voting, confirmation, and distribution. Unless substantive
consolidation has been approved by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan shall serve as a
motion by the Debtors seeking entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court substantively consolidating
the Estates of the United Debtors and the Confirmation Order authorizing substantive consolidation
shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the substantive consolidation of the
United Debtors. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court substantively consolidates some but not all
of the United Debtors, the Debtors reserve the right to proceed with confirmation without
substantive consolidation or with partial substantive consolidation as allowed by the Bankruptcy
Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not substantively consolidate any of the United
Debtors Estates, the Plan provides for twenty-eight Subplans of reorganization for each of the
Debtors. Subject to the Debtors seeking substantive consolidation pursuant to ARTICLE VI.F of the
Plan, the confirmation requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code must be satisfied
separately with respect to each Subplan and whether substantive consolidation is ordered will have
no impact on a Creditors distribution. The Debtors reserve the right to (a) request that the
Subplans be confirmed or (b) withdraw some or all Subplans. Subject to the preceding sentence, the
Debtors inability to confirm any Subplan or the Debtors election to withdraw any Subplan(s) shall
not impair the confirmation of any other Subplan(s), or the consummation of any such Subplan.
Pursuant to Section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, a vote to accept or reject the Plan cannot
be solicited from a Holder of a Claim until the Disclosure Statement has been approved by the
Bankruptcy Court and distributed to Holders of Claims. In the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure
Statement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court by order entered on [___], 2005. The Disclosure
Statement contains, among other things, a discussion of the Debtors history, businesses,
properties and operations, projections for those operations, risk factors associated
2
with the business and Plan, a summary and analysis of the Plan, and certain related matters
including, without limitation, the securities to be issued pursuant to the Plan.
ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THE PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN THEIR
ENTIRETY BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN. IN THE EVENT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT DOES NOT
SUBSTANTIVELY CONSOLIDATE THE UNITED DEBTORS ESTATES, THE VOTES TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN BY
HOLDERS OF CLAIMS SHALL BE DEEMED AS VOTES TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE SUBPLANS OF REORGANIZATION SET
FORTH HEREIN AND SUCH VOTES SHALL BE TABULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE SUBPLANS.

listed below classify Claims and Interests in or against the Debtors for all purposes, including
voting, Confirmation, and distribution, pursuant to the Plan and pursuant to Sections 1122 and
1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. If substantive consolidation is ordered pursuant to ARTICLE

substantive consolidation is not ordered, each Class listed below shall vote as a single separate
Class, including with respect to the confirmation requirements under Section 1129(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code. A Claim or Interest shall be deemed classified in a particular Class only to the
extent that the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and the remaining

in exchange for each and every Claim in Classes 4E through 28E, on the first Periodic
Distribution Date occurring after the later of (i) the date that an Unsecured Claim becomes
an Allowed Unsecured Claim or (ii) the date that an Unsecured Claim becomes payable pursuant

a. Classification: Classes 4H through 28H consist of all Common Stock Interests
in the respective Debtor.
b. Treatment: Subject to ARTICLE VI.L, Holders of Common Stock Interests in
Classes 4H through 28H shall receive no distribution under the Plan.
c. Voting: Classes 4H through 28H are Impaired, but because no distributions
shall be made to Holders of Interests in Classes 4H through 28H nor shall such Holders
retain any property on account thereof, such Holders are deemed conclusively to have
rejected the Plan pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the
Holders of Interests in Classes 4H through 28H are not entitled to vote to accept or reject
the Plan.
G. Exit Financing: The Debtors have been working with potential exit financing lenders to
place a $2.5 billion exit financing package, which will be used to repay the DIP Facility Claims,
make other payments required to be made on the Effective date, and conduct their
post-reorganization operations. The New Credit Facility will likely be comprised of a term loan,
together with a revolving credit facility. The New Credit Facility would likely be guaranteed by
UAL and all of Uniteds and UALs domestic subsidiaries. As security for the New Credit Facility,
any New Credit Facility Lender is likely to require a first priority Lien on substantially all
unencumbered assts. The New Credit Facility also will likely include a standard package of
financial covenants, which could include, but may not be limited to, a minimum unrestricted cash
maintenance requirement, leverage ratios, an interest coverage ratio, minimum collateral coverage
and annual maximum capital expenditure limitations. Finally, a New Credit Facility would likely
require some level of annual amortization.
H. Rights Offering: To provide additional exit financing, the Debtors are exploring a
variety of potential rights offerings in which they would offer unsecured creditors the opportunity
to purchase, on a pro rata basis, approximately $500 million in value of New UAL Common Stock.
I. Treatment of Intercompany Claims: Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, there shall
be no distributions on account of Intercompany Claims. Pursuant to Sections 1126(f) and 1126(g) of
the Bankruptcy Code, Holders of Intercompany Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject
the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to Reinstate,
extinguish, or cancel, as applicable, all Intercompany Claims, including, without limitation, all
relevant agreements, instruments, and documents underlying such Intercompany Claims as of the
Effective Date or such other date as is appropriate.

ARTICLE IV.
CLASSIFICATION AND VOTING OF CONSOLIDATED CLASSES
(SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION OF UNITED DEBTORS)
A. Summary of Classification of Claims and Interests: The Plan contemplates approval of the
Debtors request to substantively consolidate the United Debtors into a consolidated Estate. The

the Claims and Interests in or against the United Debtors, as classified in ARTICLE III above,
shall vote in single consolidated Classes as follows in ARTICLE IV.C.
If substantive consolidation is not ordered pursuant to ARTICLE VI.F of the Plan, then the
Claims and Interests in or against the United Debtors shall be classified, treated, and vote as
classified in ARTICLE III.
B. Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests: UAL
The Claims and Interests in and against UAL shall be classified and treated and shall vote in

2. Voting:
If substantive consolidation is ordered pursuant to ARTICLE VI.F of the Plan, then the Claims
and Interests in and against the United Debtors shall vote as follows:
a. The Holders of DIP Facility Claims, Secured Aircraft Claims, Other Secured Claims,
and Other Priority Claims are Unimpaired and are deemed conclusively to have accepted the
Plan pursuant to Section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore are not entitled to
vote to accept or reject the Plan.
b. Interests in all United Debtors and Subordinated Securities Claims in United are
Impaired, and because no distributions shall be made to Holders of such Claims and
Interests, such Holders are deemed conclusively to have rejected the Plan
64
pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, are not entitled to vote to accept or
reject the Plan.
c. The Holders of Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience
Class Claims, Unsecured Retained Aircraft Claims, Unsecured Rejected Aircraft Claims,
Unsecured PBGC Claims, Unsecured Chicago Municipal Bond Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims
are impaired and are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan as separate consolidated
Classes.
3. Treatment: If substantive consolidation of all or some but less than all of the
United Debtors is ordered pursuant to ARTICLE VI.F of the Plan, then the Holders of Claims against
the United Debtors that are not substantively consolidated shall receive the treatment set forth
for each such Claim in ARTICLE III above.
D. Treatment of Intercompany Claims and Interests: If substantive consolidation of all or
some but less than all of the United Debtors is ordered pursuant to ARTICLE VI.F of the Plan, then
all Intercompany Claims and Interests, and all relevant agreements, instruments, and documents
underlying such Intercompany Claims and Interests, shall be treated as set forth in ARTICLE VI.F of
the Plan.
ARTICLE V.

A. Voting Classes: Except as otherwise provided in the Solicitation Procedures Order,
ARTICLE V.E of the Plan, and Sections 1126(f) and 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, Holders of Claims
and Interests in each Impaired Class are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. In the
event the Court does not order substantive consolidation of the United Debtors pursuant to ARTICLE
VI.F of the Plan: (a) the Debtors will not re-solicit any votes; (b) the vote by a Holder of a
Claim or Interest shall be counted as a vote in the single, respective, separate Class set forth in
ARTICLE III of the Plan for purposes of Confirmation; and (c) the vote by a Holder of a Claim or
Interest to accept or reject the Plan shall be deemed as the vote of the Holder of such Claim or
Interest to accept or reject the Plan, as the case may be, in the single, respective, separate
Class set forth in ARTICLE III for purposes of Confirmation.
B. Acceptance by Impaired Classes: Pursuant to Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and
except as otherwise provided in Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, an Impaired Class of Claims
has accepted the Plan if the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount and more than
one-half (1/2) in number of the Allowed Claims of such Class actually voting have voted to accept
the Plan.
C. Impaired Interests: Pursuant to Section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code and except as
otherwise provided in Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, an Impaired Class of Interests has
accepted the Plan if the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) in amount of the Allowed Interests of
such Class actually voting have voted to accept the Plan.
65

to ARTICLE IV of the Plan) shall be entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

F. Confirmation Pursuant to Sections 1129(a)(10) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code:
Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be satisfied for purposes of Confirmation by
acceptance of the Plan by a Class. The Debtors shall seek Confirmation of the Plan pursuant to
Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Impaired Class presumed to reject the
Plan, and reserve the right to do so with respect to any other rejecting Class of Claims or
Interests, as applicable, and/or to modify the Plan in accordance with ARTICLE XIII of the Plan.
G. Controversy Concerning Impairment: If a controversy arises as to whether any Claims or
Interests, or any Class of Claims or Interests, are Impaired pursuant to the Plan, the Bankruptcy
Court shall determine such controversy on or before the Confirmation Date.
ARTICLE VI.
PROVISIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
A. Corporate Existence: Except to the extent that a Debtor ceases to exist pursuant to the
Plan, each Debtor shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate entity
or limited liability company, with all the powers of a corporation or limited liability company
pursuant to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated
or formed and pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other
formation documents in the case of a limited liability company) in effect prior to the Effective
Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation
documents in the case of a limited liability company) are amended by the Plan or otherwise, and to
the extent such documents are amended, such documents are deemed to be pursuant to the Plan and
require no further action or approval.
68
B. Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors: Except as otherwise provided in the Plan
or any agreement, instrument, or other document relating thereto, on or after the Effective Date,
all property in each Estate and any property acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan
shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all liens, Claims, charges, or
other encumbrances (except for liens, if any, granted to secure the New Credit Facility, Claims
pursuant to the DIP Facility that by their terms survive termination of the DIP Facility, or as
otherwise provided in the Plan). On and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor may
operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and compromise or settle any
Claims or Interests without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any
restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly
imposed by the Plan and the Confirmation Order.
C. Sales of New UAL Common Stock on Behalf of Holders of Unsecured Convenience Class Claims and
Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims: On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the
first Periodic Distribution Date, to facilitate the payment of the Unsecured Convenience Class
Distribution and the Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Distribution, the Reorganized Debtors
shall fund the Unsecured Convenience Class Account and Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Account
with New UAL Common Stock equal to the Unsecured Convenience Class Reserve and the Unsecured
Retiree Convenience Class Reserve, respectively. Subject to the New UAL Common Stock being
approved for listing and trading on a national securities exchange and subject to any measures
(including timing delays) necessary or advisable to ensure an orderly market for such stock, the
Reorganized Debtors, or one or more third-party brokers or dealers, will effectuate sales of the
New UAL Common Stock that is placed in the Unsecured Convenience Class Account or Unsecured Retiree
Convenience Class Account on behalf of the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Convenience Class Claims or
Allowed Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims. After such sales are consummated the
Reorganized Debtors will effectuate the Unsecured Convenience Class Distribution and Unsecured
Retiree Convenience Class Distribution in accordance with the Plan.
D. Restructuring Transactions: On or prior to the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may take all actions
as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by,
contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan, including, without limitation, the Roll-Up
Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, such transactions may include: (i) the execution and
delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, consolidation, or reorganization
containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements
of applicable law; (ii) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer,
assignment, assumption, or delegation of any property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on
terms consistent with the terms of the Plan; (iii) the filing of appropriate certificates of
incorporation, merger, or consolidation with the appropriate governmental authorities pursuant to
applicable law; and (iv) all other actions that such Debtors and Reorganized Debtors determine are
necessary or appropriate, including the making of filings or recordings in connection with the
relevant Roll-Up Transactions. In the event a Roll-Up Transaction is a merger transaction, upon
the consummation of such Roll-Up Transaction, the merged party shall cease to exist as a separate
corporate entity and thereafter the surviving Reorganized Debtor shall assume and perform the
obligations of each constituent Reorganized
69
Debtor pursuant to the Plan. Implementation of the
Roll-Up Transactions shall not affect any distributions, discharges, exculpations, releases, or
injunctions set forth in the Plan.
E. Corporate Action: Upon entry of a Confirmation Order, each of the matters provided for
by the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtors or corporate or related actions to be
taken by or required of the Debtors shall, as of the Effective Date, be deemed to have occurred and
be effective as provided in the Plan (except to the extent otherwise indicated), and shall be
authorized, approved and, to the extent taken prior to the Effective Date, ratified in all respects
without any requirement of further action by stockholders, Creditors, directors, members or
managers of the Debtors. Without limiting the foregoing, such actions may include: the adoption
and filing of the Reorganized UAL Charter and Reorganized UAL Bylaws; the appointment of directors
and officers for the Reorganized Debtors; the Rights Offering, if any; the adoption, implementation
and/or amendment of the Management Equity Incentive Plan, the Director Equity Incentive Plan, and
the execution, delivery, and performance of the New Credit Facility.
F. Substantive Consolidation:
1. The Plan contemplates substantive consolidation of the United Debtors solely for all of
those purposes and actions associated with confirmation and consummation of the Plan, including,
without limitation, for purposes of voting and Confirmation. Unless substantive consolidation has
been approved by a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan shall serve as a motion by the
Debtors seeking entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court substantively consolidating the Estates
of the United Debtors and the Confirmation Order authorizing substantive consolidation shall
constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the substantive consolidation of the United
Debtors. On the Confirmation Date, and effective on and after the Effective Date, the Estate of
each of the United Debtors (i.e., all Debtors other than UAL) shall be substantively consolidated
into the Estate of United for all purposes associated with confirmation and consummation of the
Plan, including, without limitation, for purposes of voting and Confirmation. In the event that
the Bankruptcy Court substantively consolidates some but not all of the United Debtors, the Debtors
reserve the right to proceed with confirmation with no or partial substantive consolidation
consistent with the Bankruptcy Courts order.
2. On and after the Effective Date, (a) all assets and liabilities of the United Debtors shall
be treated as though they were merged into the United Estate solely for purposes of the Plan, (b)
no distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of Intercompany Claims or Interests
between and among any of the Debtors, (c) for all purposes associated with Confirmation, including,
without limitation, for purposes of tallying acceptances and rejections of the Plan, the Estates of
the United Debtors shall be deemed to be one consolidated Estate for United, (d) all guarantees of
any United Debtor of the obligations of any other United Debtor shall be eliminated so that any
Claim against any United Debtor and any guarantee thereof executed by any other United Debtor and
any joint and several liability of any United Debtor shall be one obligation of the United Debtors,
and (e) each and every Claim filed or to be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases of the United Debtors
shall be deemed filed against the United Debtors, and shall be Claims against and obligations of
the United Debtors.
3. Substantive consolidation shall not affect: (a) the legal and organizational structure of
the United Debtors; (b) pre and post-Petition Date guarantees, Liens, and security
70
interests that are required to be maintained (i) pursuant to any Postpetition Aircraft Agreement, (ii) under the
Bankruptcy Code or in connection with contracts or leases that were entered into
during the Chapter 11 Cases or executory contracts or unexpired leases that have been or will
be assumed, or (iii) pursuant to the Plan; (c) Intercompany Claims and Interests between and among
the Debtors; and (d) distributions from any insurance policies or proceeds of such policies.
4. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation of the

Agreement to which any Debtor is a party, as modified and/or amended from time to time, including
by and through the Section 1113 Restructuring Agreements, shall be deemed automatically assumed in
accordance with the provisions and requirements of Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as
of the Effective Date; provided, however, nothing in this ARTICLE VII.F.1 or
otherwise in the Plan shall be deemed as an assumption of any pension plan, retirement plan,
savings plan, health plan, or other employee benefit plan discontinued or
terminated during the Chapter 11 Cases. The assumption and the Cure of the Collective
Bargaining Agreements, in accordance with the terms of the Section 1113 Restructuring Agreements,
shall be in full satisfaction of all Claims and Interests arising under all previous Collective
Bargaining Agreements between all parties to the Plan or their predecessors-in-interest. Upon
assumption of the Collective Bargaining Agreements and the Section 1113 Restructuring Agreements,
the following Proofs of Claim shall be deemed withdrawn, disallowed, and forever barred from
assertion automatically and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court: (i) all Proofs of Claim filed by the Debtors Unions; and (ii) all Proofs of
Claim filed by Union-represented employees pertaining to rights collectively bargained for or
disposed of pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreements in the ordinary course of business,

respective Unions pursuit, payment, or satisfaction of such Claims in the ordinary course under
the relevant assumed Collective Bargaining Agreement; provided, further,
however, that the Debtors reserve the right to seek adjudication of any Collective
Bargaining Agreement-related dispute that concern distributions, claims, restructuring
transactions, or other aspects of the Plan between the Debtors and the relevant union in the
Bankruptcy Court.
2. Reservation of Rights Pending Resolution of Litigation: Notwithstanding ARTICLE
VII.F.1 of the Plan, the AFA Collective Bargaining Agreement, as modified and/or amended from time
to time through the Effective Date, including by and through the AFA Section 1113 Restructuring
Agreements, shall be deemed conditionally assumed in accordance with the provisions and
requirements of Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date; provided,
however, that if after the Effective Date: (a) the terminated Flight Attendant Defined Benefit Plan
is restored for any reason (including without limitation as a result of legislative,
administrative, judicial or other activity (including without limitation as a result of the
reversal of the PBGC Settlement Agreement on appeal, the voiding or invalidation of the relevant
termination and trusteeship agreement and/or PBGC notice of determination, etc.), such that the
Reorganized Debtors determine in their discretion that re-termination of the Flight Attendant
Defined Benefit Plan is required; or (b) the AFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement is terminated for any
reason (including without limitation based on arbitration between the parties based on the AFAs

Agreement (as modified and/or amended from time to time) under Section 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code,
notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.

of such Agreement: (i) each Postpetition Aircraft Agreement shall remain in place after the
Effective Date, (ii) the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor each such Agreement according
to its terms, and (iii) to the extent any Postpetition Aircraft Agreement requires the assumption
by the Debtors of such Agreement and the Postpetition Aircraft Obligation arising thereunder, each
such Postpetition Aircraft Agreement and Postpetition Aircraft Obligation shall be deemed
assumed as of Consummation of the Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing
clause (iii) shall not be deemed or otherwise interpreted as an assumption by the Debtors of any
agreement or obligation that is not a Postpetition Aircraft Agreement or Postpetition Aircraft
Obligation; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit the Debtors right to
terminate such contracts in accordance with the terms thereof. Subsequent to the date of this Plan
and prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors may, in their sole and absolute discretion, enter into
new Postpetition Aircraft Agreements for Aircraft Equipment not currently subject to a Postpetition
Aircraft Agreement, and the Claims or obligations arising hereunder shall be treated as
Postpetition Aircraft Obligations.
H. Postpetition Contracts and Leases: Except to the extent otherwise provided herein with
respect to Postpetition Aircraft Agreements and subject to the provisions of ARTICLE VII.K, all
contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor will be performed by the
Debtor or Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
contracts and leases in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and
leases and other obligations (including any executory contracts and unexpired leases assumed other
than pursuant to the Plan) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.
I. Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases: Entry of the Confirmation Order by the
Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the assumption or conditional assumption of the
executory contracts and unexpired leases to be assumed under the Plan as of the Effective Date, or
as of a conditional assumption becoming final pursuant to ARTICLE VII.E.2 or ARTICLE VII.E.3 above,
pursuant to Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each executory contract and unexpired
lease that is assumed shall vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor
in accordance with its terms, except as may be modified by the provisions of the Plan, any order of
the Bankruptcy Court authorizing or providing for its assumption, or applicable law.
The provisions (if any) of each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant
to the Plan that are or may be in default shall be satisfied solely by the Cure, or by an
agreed-upon waiver of the Cure. Except with respect to executory contracts and unexpired leases in
which the Debtors and the counterparties to such executory contracts and unexpired leases have
stipulated in writing to payment of the Cure, all requests for payment of the Cure must be filed
with the Claims Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors on or before the Cure Bar Date.
86
Any request for payment of the Cure that is not timely Filed and served shall be disallowed
automatically and shall be forever barred from assertion and shall not be enforceable against any
Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, any Estate, or property of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor without
the need for any objection by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and without any further notice
to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Claim for the Cure shall be
deemed fully satisfied, released and discharged, notwithstanding any amount or information included
in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim filed prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order;
provided, however, that nothing shall prevent the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, in their sole and absolute discretion, from making a Cure payment despite the failure of
the relevant counterparty to file and timely serve such request for payment of such Cure. The Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors may settle any Cure without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court. If and to the extent that the Debtors and a counterparty to an executory
contract or unexpired lease have stipulated in writing to payment of the Cure, the Debtors will pay
such Cure as agreed.
If the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors object to a Cure or any potential contractual
obligation under any executory contract or unexpired lease that is assumed, the Bankruptcy Court
shall determine the Allowed amount of such Cure and any such potential contractual obligation. If
there is a dispute regarding (i) Cure, (ii) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee
to provide adequate assurance of future performance within the meaning of Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure shall occur as soon as
reasonably practicable following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and/or approving
the assumption (and, if applicable, assignment). The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the
right to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease no later than fifteen (15) days after the
later of (i) the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and the counterparty to such executory contract or
unexpired lease agree in writing to the amount of the Cure, or (ii) the entry of a Final Order
establishing the Cure.
The provisions of each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the
Plan that are or may be in default shall be satisfied in a manner to be agreed to by the relevant
Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. Pursuant to Section 365(b)(2)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise, no Cure shall be allowed for a penalty rate or other form of default rate of interest.
Any and all proofs of claim based upon executory contracts or unexpired leases that have been
assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases or under the terms of the Plan shall be deemed disallowed and
expunged.
J. Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases: Entry of the Confirmation Order by
the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the rejection or conditional rejection of the
executory contracts and unexpired leases to be rejected under the Plan as of the Effective Date, or
as of a conditional rejection becoming final pursuant to ARTICLE VII.E.2 or ARTICLE VII.E.3 above,
pursuant to Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. The rejection of the executory contracts
or unexpired leases of any counterparty is not intended to be and shall not be construed as an
indication of the unwillingness of the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors to do business with the
counterparty, and the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to
87
negotiate and enter into any contract or lease with any counterparty at any time without any further notice to or action,
order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the Municipal Bond Leases, all executory
contracts and unexpired leases to be rejected pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed automatically
rejected in accordance with the provisions and requirements of Sections 365 and 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date or such earlier date as the Debtors may have terminated
their performance under such executory contract or unexpired lease, unless another effective date
of rejection shall be set forth in the Plan Supplement for such executory contract or unexpired
lease; provided, however, that the effective date of rejection for executory
contracts or unexpired leases may be later than the Effective Date of the Plan.
On or after the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors reserve their rights
to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, or litigate to judgment (and/or abandon, settle, compromise,
release, or withdraw) any and all such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action, including, without
limitation, such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action on account of indemnification, breach of
confidentiality, breach of contract, and breach of express or implied warranty that they may have
under any executory contract or unexpired lease, notwithstanding the rejection of such executory
contract or unexpired lease.
A non-Debtor party to an executory contract or unexpired lease whose executory contract or
unexpired lease is being or has been rejected under the Plan may request that the Debtors assume
such executory contract or unexpired lease by sending a written notice to the counsel to the
Debtors, which notice shall include a waiver of any defaults (including payment defaults) and any
right to any Cure under such executory contract or unexpired lease. The Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors may, in their sole and absolute discretion, assume such executory contract or unexpired
lease without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
All Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of executory contracts
or unexpired leases pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, other than Municipal Bond Leases, if any,
must be Filed with the Claims Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors no later than thirty
(30) days after the earliest of (i) the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving
such rejection, (ii) the date of service of a notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease
has been rejected, and (iii) the effective date of rejection. All Proofs of Claim with respect to
Claims arising from the conditional rejection of Municipal Bond Leases pursuant to the Plan must be
Filed with the Claims Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors no later than thirty (30) days
after a conditional rejection becoming final pursuant to ARTICLE VII.E.2 or ARTICLE VII.E.3 above.
Any Proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease that are
not timely Filed and served shall be disallowed automatically and shall be forever barred from
assertion and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, any Estate, or
property of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor without the need for any objection by the Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court, and the Claim for rejection of the executory contract or unexpired lease shall be
deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding any amount or information
included in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim filed prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order.
Rejection of any executory contract pursuant to the Plan, or otherwise,
88
shall not constitute a termination of pre-existing obligations owed to the Debtors. In particular, the Debtors,
notwithstanding any state or non-bankruptcy law to the contrary, expressly reserve and do not waive
any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a contract counter-party to provide,
warranties or continued maintenance obligations on goods previously purchased by the Debtors from
contract counter-parties to rejected executory contracts.
K. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements: Unless
otherwise provided, each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed, whether or not
such executory contract or unexpired lease relates to the use, ability to acquire, or occupancy of
real property, shall include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other
agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any
manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease, and (ii) all executory
contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, if any, including all easements,
licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses,
reciprocal easement agreements, and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related to
such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the
Bankruptcy Court or is otherwise rejected as part of the Plan.
Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to executory contracts and unexpired
leases entered into before the Petition Date that have been executed by the Debtors during the
Chapter 11 Cases, and actions taken in accordance therewith, (i) do not alter in any way the
pre-petition nature of the executory contract or unexpired lease entered into before the Petition
Date, or the validity, priority or amount of any Claims against the Debtors that may arise under
such contracts and leases, (ii) are not and do not create a postpetition contract or lease, (iii)
do not elevate to administrative expense priority any Claims of the counterparty to the executory
contracts and unexpired leases against any of the Debtors, and (iv) do not entitle any entity to a
Claim under any Section of the Bankruptcy Code on account of the difference between the terms of
any executory contract or unexpired lease entered into before the Petition Date and modification,
amendment, supplement, or restatement.
L. Reservation of Rights: Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease by
the Debtors on any exhibit in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall
constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an executory
contract or unexpired lease or that any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, or their respective
Affiliates, has any liability thereunder.
Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, nothing in the Plan shall waive,
excuse, limit, diminish, or otherwise alter any of the defenses, Claims, Causes of Action, or other
rights of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors under any executory or non-executory contract or
any unexpired or expired lease.
Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, nothing in the Plan shall increase,
augment, or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtors
and the Reorganized Debtors under any executory or non-executory contract or any unexpired or
expired lease.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve
the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement any list of executory contracts, including, but
not limited to, the list of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, Rejected Interline

89
Intercompany Contracts, the Rejected Current Employment Agreements and Indemnification Obligations, and the Rejected Former
Employment Agreements and Indemnification Obligations, in the Plan Supplement at any time through
and including thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.
If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired
at the time of assumption or rejection, then the Debtors shall have thirty (30) days following
entry of a final non-appealable order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such
contract or lease.
M. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date: In the event that the Effective Date does not occur,
the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline
for assuming or rejecting executory contracts or unexpired leases, including, without limitation,
assuming or rejecting unexpired leases pursuant to Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
N. Personnel Regulations Series 15: To the extent that Personnel Regulations Series 15, the
Debtors written personnel policies governing certain of their employees, is deemed to be an
executory contract, notwithstanding the disclaimer that such document expressly provides that it
does not create any contractual rights and can be modified at any time, the Debtors reject such
agreement upon the Effective Date with all counterparties who are individuals. The Debtors shall
issue a modified version of Personnel Regulations Series 15 as soon as reasonably practicable after
the Effective Date. All Claims of any individual on account of the Personnel Regulations Series 15
and any similar regulations accruing prior to the Effective Date are deemed disallowed and expunged

Confirmation Order), after Confirmation each Reorganized Debtor shall have and retain any and all
rights and defenses such Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Interest as of Petition Date,
including, without limitation, the Causes of Action referenced in ARTICLE VI.W of the Plan.
B. Claims Administration Responsibilities: The Reorganized Debtors or their designees shall
have the responsibility for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising, or otherwise
resolving all Claims against and Interests in the Debtors. After the Effective Date, the
Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive authority to, in their sole and absolute discretion,
initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, or withdraw, or litigate
to judgment objections to Claims or Interests; administer Claims and Interests; and make
distributions (if any) on account of Claims and Interests, all without any further notice to or
action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. From and after the Effective Date, the Debtors
and Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise, in their sole and absolute
90
discretion, any Disputed Claim or Interest without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or their designees
shall have sole authority for administering and adjusting the claims register in the Chapter 11
Cases. The Reorganized Debtors or their designees may alter and other otherwise adjust such claims
register to reflect the Allowed or disallowed amounts of any Claims or Interests in the Chapter 11
Cases without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
C. Estimation of Claims and Interests: Except with respect to those Claims that are covered
by the Bankruptcy Courts previous order authorizing certain estimation procedures, which
estimation procedures (as amended or modified) are specifically incorporated herein, the Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court
estimate any contingent, disputed, or unliquidated Claim or Interest pursuant to Section 502(c) of
the Bankruptcy Code for any reason regardless of whether such Debtors or Reorganized Debtors have
previously objected to such Claim or Interest or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such
objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim or Interest at
any time during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or Interest, including during the
pendency of any appeal relating to such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court
estimates any contingent, disputed, or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a
maximum limitation on such Claim, and the relevant Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue
any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim. All of the
aforementioned Claims or Interests and objection, estimation and resolution procedures are
cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims and Interests may be estimated and
subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the
Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding Section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any
Holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of the estimation of such Claim unless the Holder of
such Claim has filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before twenty
(20) days after the date such Claim is estimated.
D. Adjustment to Claims Without Objection: Any Claim that has been paid and/or satisfied
pursuant to the terms of the Plan, or any Claim that has been amended or superceded, may be
adjusted and/or expunged on the official claims register by the Claims Agent in the sole and
absolute discretion of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, without a claims
objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court.
E. Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims: Regardless of whether or not a Holder of an
Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claim has filed a Proof of Claim, by not opting out of such
Class, such Holder shall be deemed to have an Allowed Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claim
against United in the amount reflected on such Holders Ballot; provided, however,
that if a Holder of an Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claim opts out of the Unsecured Retiree
Convenience Class, the Debtors reserve the right to dispute the validity and amount of the Holders
Claim, and shall not be deemed to have agreed to the amount set forth on such Ballot. A Holder of
an Unsecured Retiree Convenience Claim opting out of the Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class but
who did not file a Proof of Claim prior to the applicable Bar Date shall be deemed to have an Other
Unsecured Claim against United on account of such Claim in
91
an unliquidated amount, subject to the Debtors above-stated reservation of rights to dispute the Claim.
F. Disallowance of Claims: Any and all Claims held by Entities from which property is
recoverable under Section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of this title or that is a transferee of a transfer
avoidable under Section 522(f), 522(h), 544, (545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of this title, shall be
Deemed disallowed pursuant to Section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may
not vote to accept or reject the Plan or receive any distributions on account of such Claims, both
consequences to be in effect until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been
settled or a Final Order with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due to the Debtors by
that Entity have been turned over to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. Any
and all Proofs of Claim Filed after the relevant Bar Date shall be disallowed and expunged for all
purposes, and Holders of such Claims may not vote to accept or reject the Plan
or receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless such Creditors request on or before
the Confirmation Hearing that the Bankruptcy Court deem such late claim as being timely filed
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006. All Claims Filed after the relevant Bar Date that are (i) not
deemed timely filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006 on or before the Confirmation Hearing or (ii)
not the subject of a request that the Bankruptcy Court deem such late claim as being timely filed
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006 as of the Confirmation Hearing shall be deemed disallowed and
expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of
the Bankruptcy Court. All Claims filed on account of an Indemnification Obligation to a director,
officer, or employee shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date to the extent
such Indemnification Obligation is assumed pursuant to this Plan without any further notice to or
action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
G. Offer of Judgment: Notwithstanding any limitations on the applicability of Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 68 and any other Bankruptcy Rules, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as
applicable, are authorized to serve upon a Holder of a Claim or Interest an offer to allow judgment
to be taken against the respective Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, on account of such
Claim or Interest, and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply to such offer of judgment.
To the extent the Holder of a Claim or Interest must pay the costs incurred by the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors after the making of such offer, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as
applicable, are entitled to setoff such amounts against the amount of any distribution to be paid
to such Holder without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
H. Amendments to Claims: A Claim may be amended prior to the Confirmation Date only as
agreed upon by the Debtors and the holder of such Claim, or as otherwise permitted by the
Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or applicable law. After the
Confirmation Date except as provided in ARTICLE VII.J, a Claim may not be filed or amended without
the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court. Any such new or amended Claim filed after the
Confirmation Date shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any action by the
Debtors, or the Reorganized Debtors, unless the Claim holder has obtained prior Bankruptcy Court
authorization for the filing.

ARTICLE IX.
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
A. Distributions for Claims and Interests Allowed as of the Effective Date
1. Timing: Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, as may be ordered by the
Bankruptcy Court, or as determined by the Debtors, all distributions under the Plan shall be made
on a Periodic Distribution Date.
2. Accrual of Interest, Dividends, or Rights: For purposes of determining the accrual
of interest, dividends, or rights with respect to any other payment from and after the Effective
Date unless the terms of such securities set forth otherwise, the New Credit Facility and the New
UAL Plan Securities shall be deemed issued as of the Effective Date regardless of the date on which
they are actually dated, authenticated, or distributed; provided, however, that the
respective Reorganized Debtor shall withhold any actual payment or distribution until such
distribution is made and no interest may accrue or otherwise be payable on any such withheld
amounts.
3. No Interest: Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the
Confirmation Order, the DIP Facility, or a postpetition agreement in writing between the Debtors
and a Holder of a Claim, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no Holder
of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or
right. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on
any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final
distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an
Allowed Claim.
4. Allocation Between Principal and Accrued Interest: The aggregate consideration paid
to Holders with respect to their Allowed Claims shall be treated pursuant to the Plan as allocated
first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claim (to the extent thereof) and, thereafter, to the
interest, if any, accrued thereon through the Effective Date.
B. Distribution Agent: The Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required
pursuant to the Plan except with respect to a Holder of a Claim whose distribution is governed by
an agreement and is administered by a Servicer, which distributions shall be deposited with the
appropriate Servicer, who shall deliver such distributions to the Holders of Claims in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan and the terms of the governing agreement.
C. Delivery of Distributions
1. Delivery of Distributions in General: Except as provided in ARTICLE IX.G,
distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests shall be made to those Holders of
such Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests of record as of the Distribution Record Date. Except as
otherwise provided in the Plan, and notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, distributions to
Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Distribution Agent or the appropriate Servicer, as
appropriate, in such Entitys sole and absolute discretion by first class mail, postage prepaid,
(a) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by
Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (b) to the signatory set forth on any of the Proofs of
93
Claim or Interest
filed by such Holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of
such Holder if no Proof of Claim or Interest is filed or if the Debtors have been notified in
writing of a change of address); (c) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address
changes delivered to the Distribution Agent after the date of any related Proof of Claim or
Interest; (d) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been filed and
the Distribution Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address; (e) in the case of
a Holder whose Claim is governed by an agreement and administered by a Servicer, at the addresses
contained in the official records of such Servicer; or (f) on any counsel that has appeared in the
Chapter 11 Cases on the Holders behalf. Except as provided in ARTICLE VI.V, distributions to the
various Classes of Claims pursuant to the Plan shall not be subject to levy, garnishment,
attachment, or like legal process by any Holder of Claims, so that each Holder of Claims shall have
and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan. Neither the
Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, nor the Distribution Agent shall incur any liability whatsoever
on account of any distributions so long as such distributions are made to Holders of Allowed Claims
and Allowed Interests of record as of the Distribution Record Date or to Servicers, if applicable.
2. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to be Distributed: Subject to any reserves or
holdback established pursuant to the Plan, on the appropriate Periodic Distribution Date or as soon
as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of an Allowed Claim against or Allowed Interest
in the Debtors shall receive the distributions provided for Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests in
the applicable Class as of such date. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims or
Disputed Interests, distributions on account of such Disputed Claims or Interests shall be made
pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Plan.
3. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate: As of the Effective Date, any Unsecured Claim
asserted in currency(ies) other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the
equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate as of Monday, December 9, 2002, as quoted at
4:00 p.m., mid-range spot rate of exchange for the applicable currency as published in The Wall
Street Journal, National Edition, on December 10, 2002.
4. Minimum Distribution
a. Fractional Securities; Fractional Dollars: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, payments of fractions of shares of
New UAL Common Stock shall not be made and any such distributions shall be deemed to be
zero. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Distribution Agent shall not be
required to make distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment of
Cash of a fraction of a dollar pursuant to the Plan would otherwise be called for, the
actual payment shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or
down), with half dollars or less being rounded down.
b. De Minimis Distributions: Neither the Distribution Agent nor any Servicer
shall have any obligation to make a distribution on account of an Allowed Claim from the New
UAL Stock Reserve or otherwise if (i) the aggregate amount of all distributions authorized
to be made from such New UAL Stock Reserve or otherwise on the Periodic Distribution Date in
question is or has an economic value less than $10,000,000, except
94
the final distribution,
or (ii) if the amount to be distributed to the specific Holder of an Allowed Claim on the
particular Periodic Distribution Date does not constitute a final distribution to such
Holder and is or has an economic value less than $25.00.
c. Undeliverable Distributions
(i) In General: If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim or
Allowed Interest is returned to a Distribution Agent as undeliverable, no further
distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until such Distribution Agent
is notified in writing of such Holders then-current address, at which time all
currently due missed distributions shall be made to such Holder without interest.
Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized
Debtors until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable, and shall not be
supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind. As soon
as reasonably practicable, a Distribution Agent shall make all distributions that
become deliverable.
(ii) Reallocation and Reversion: All distributions under the Plan that
are unclaimed for a period of six (6) months after distribution thereof shall be
deemed unclaimed property under Section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and revested
in the Reorganized Debtors. Upon such revesting, the Claim of any Holder or its
successors with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred
notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. The provisions
of the Plan regarding undeliverable distributions shall apply with equal force to
distributions made pursuant to any Indenture or Certificate issued by the Debtors,
notwithstanding any provision in such Indenture or Certificate to the contrary and
notwithstanding any otherwise applicable escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property
law.
D. Manner of Payment Pursuant to the Plan: Any payment in Cash to be made pursuant to the
Plan shall be made at the election of the Reorganized Debtor by check or by wire transfer.
E. Time Bar to Payment: Checks issued by the Distribution Agent (or Servicer, if
applicable) on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within ninety
(90) days from and after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check shall
be made directly to the Distribution Agent by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim with respect
to which such check originally was issued, and shall be made on or before the later of: (i) the
subsequent Periodic Distribution Date that is at least forty-five (45) days after such Claim
becomes an Allowed Claim; or (ii) one-hundred and fifty (150) days after the date of issuance of
such check. After such date, Claims for the reissuance of checks shall be discharged and forever
barred, and the Reorganized Debtors shall retain all funds related thereto for distribution to the
beneficiaries of the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
F. Disputed Claims
1. Reserve of New UAL Common Stock: On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors
shall maintain in reserve shares of New
95
UAL Common Stock as the New UAL Stock Reserve. Nothing in
the Plan shall require the Reorganized Debtors to establish reserves of New UAL Common Stock on
account of agreements, programs, and plans set forth in ARTICLE VI.Q of the Plan, which agreements,
programs, and plans shall remain in place after the Effective Date and which the Debtors shall
continue to honor. The Distribution Agent shall withhold in the New UAL Stock Reserve any
dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising
from, the property initially withheld in the New UAL Stock Reserve, to the extent that such
property continues to be withheld in the New UAL Stock Reserve at the time such distributions are
made or such obligations arise, and such dividends, payments, or other distributions shall be held
for the benefit of Holders of Disputed Claims whose Claims, if allowed, are entitled to
distributions under the Plan. As Disputed Claims and Interests are Allowed, (a) the Distribution
Agent shall distribute, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, New UAL Common Stock to Holders
of Allowed Unsecured Claims, and (b) the New UAL Stock Reserve shall be adjusted. The amount of
New UAL Common Stock withheld as a part of the New UAL Stock Reserve shall be equal to the number
of shares the Reorganized Debtors determine is necessary to satisfy the distributions required to
be made pursuant to the Plan when each Disputed Claim is ultimately determined to be an Allowed
Claim or is disallowed. Notwithstanding anything in the applicable Holders Proof of Claim or
otherwise to the contrary, the Holder of a Disputed Claim shall not be entitled to receive or
recover a distribution under the Plan on account of a Claim in excess of the amount: (a) stated in
the Holders Proof of Claim, if any, as of the Distribution Record Date; or (b) if the Claim is
contingent or unliquidated as of the Distribution Record Date, the amount that the Debtors elect to
withhold on account of such claim in the New UAL Stock Reserve. The Distribution Agent may (but is
not required to) request estimation for any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated.
Nothing in the Plan or Disclosure Statement shall be deemed to entitle the Holder of a Disputed
Claim to postpetition interest on such Claim. For purposes of any post-Confirmation vote of New
UAL Common Stock, the Distribution
Agent or Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have voted any New UAL Common Stock held
in the New UAL Stock Reserve in the same proportion as all outstanding shares properly cast in such
post-Confirmation vote.
2. Tax Reporting Matters: Subject to definitive guidance from the Internal Revenue
Service or the courts to the contrary (including the receipt by the Reorganized Debtors of a
private letter ruling if the Reorganized Debtors so request one or the receipt of an adverse
determination by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit, if not contested by the Reorganized
Debtors), the Reorganized Debtors shall treat the New UAL Stock Reserve as a single trust,
consisting of separate and independent shares to be established with respect to each Disputed
Claim, in accordance with the trust provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. §§ 641 et
seq., and, to the extent permitted by law, shall report consistently with the foregoing for
federal, state, and local tax purposes. All Holders of Unsecured Claims shall report, for federal,
state, and local tax purposes, consistently with the foregoing. In addition, the Reorganized
Debtors are hereby authorized, on behalf of the Holders of Claims and Interests, to request an
expedited determination of tax liability pursuant to Section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all
taxable periods of the New UAL Stock Reserve ending after the Effective Date through the
termination of the New UAL Stock Reserve in accordance with the Plan.
3. Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims: Notwithstanding any provision in the
Plan to the contrary, except as otherwise agreed by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor (for
96
Claims against the Reorganized Debtors), no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made
with respect to a Disputed Claim or Interest until the resolution of all such disputes in
connection with such Disputed Claim by settlement or Final Order. On the Periodic Distribution
Date that is no less than thirty (30) calendar days after the Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest
becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest
shall receive all payments and distributions to which such Holder is then entitled pursuant to the
Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Person or Entity who holds both an Allowed Claim and a
Disputed Claim (or an Allowed Interest and a Disputed Interest) shall not receive the appropriate
payment or distribution on the Allowed Claim (or Allowed Interest) except as otherwise agreed to by
such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, unless and until all objections to the Disputed
Claim or Disputed Interest have been withdrawn or resolved by settlement or Final Order and the
Claims or Interests have been allowed. In the event that there are Disputed Claims or Interests
requiring adjudication and resolution, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to
establish appropriate reserves for potential payment of such Claims or Interests. Subject to
ARTICLE IX.A of the Plan, all distributions made pursuant to the Plan on account of an Allowed
Claim shall be made together with any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account
of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property as if such Allowed Claim had
been an Allowed Claim on the dates distributions were previously made to Holders of Allowed Claims
included in the applicable Class.
4. Compliance Matters: In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, each Debtor, each Reorganized Debtor,
and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed
on it by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such
withholding and reporting requirements. Each Debtor, each Reorganized Debtor, and the Distribution
Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such
withholding and reporting requirements. For tax purposes, distributions received with respect to
Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims, with any excess
allocated to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims.
G. Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities: On or before the Effective Date, or as
soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and except as otherwise expressly agreed by the Debtors
and applicable Holders, each Holder of a Certificate shall surrender such Certificate to the
Distribution Agent, or, with respect to indebtedness that is governed by an agreement and
administered by a Servicer, the respective agreement with the Servicer, and such Certificate shall
be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors and such cancellation shall not alter the
obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to such
instruments; provided, however, that ARTICLE IX.G of the Plan shall not apply to
any Claims or Interests Reinstated pursuant to the terms of the Plan. No distribution of property
pursuant to the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of any such Holder unless and until such
Certificate is received by the Distribution Agent or the respective Servicer or the unavailability
of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the Distribution Agent or the
respective Servicer pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE IX.I of the Plan. Any Holder who fails
to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate, or fails to execute and deliver an
affidavit of loss and indemnity acceptable to the Distribution Agent or the respective Servicer
prior to the
97
first anniversary of the Effective Date, shall (i) have its Claim or Interest
discharged, (ii) be forever barred from asserting any such Claim or Interest against the relevant
Reorganized Debtor or its property, (iii) be deemed to have forfeited all rights, Claims, and
Interests with respect to such Certificate, and (iv) not participate in any distribution under the
Plan, and all property with respect to such forfeited distribution, including any dividends or
interest attributable thereto, shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors, notwithstanding any federal
or state escheat laws to the contrary.
H. Services of Indenture Trustees, Agents and Servicers: The services, with respect to
consummation of the Plan, of Servicers under the relevant agreements that govern the rights of
Creditors shall be as set forth elsewhere in this Plan, and the Reorganized Debtors shall reimburse
any Servicers for reasonable and necessary services performed by it (including reasonable
attorneys fees) as contemplated by, and in accordance with, this Plan, without the need for filing
an application with, or approval by, the Bankruptcy Court.
I. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Debt Certificates: Any Holder of Allowed
Claims or Interests evidenced by a Certificate that has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed
shall, in lieu of surrendering such Certificate, deliver to the Distribution Agent: (i) an
affidavit of loss acceptable to the Distribution Agent setting forth the unavailability of the
Certificate; and (ii) such additional indemnity as may reasonably be
required by the Distribution Agent to hold the Distribution Agent harmless from any damages,
liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such Holder as a Holder of an Allowed Claim. Upon
compliance with this procedure by a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest evidenced by such a
lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Certificate, such Holder shall, for all purposes pursuant to
the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such Certificate.
J. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties
1. Claims Paid by Third Parties: To the extent a Creditor (i) receives a distribution
on account of a Claim and (ii) receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized
Debtor on account of such Claim, such Creditor shall, within thirty-days of receipt thereof, repay
and/or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the Creditors
total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount
of the Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. A Creditors failure to
timely repay and/or return such distribution shall result in the Creditor owing the applicable
Reorganized Debtor an additional one percent (1%) of such amount owed for each Business Day after
the thirty-day grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.
2. Claims Payable by Third Parties: The Claims Agent shall reduce in full or part a
Claim on the official claims register, without a claims objection having to be Filed and without
any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the
Creditor receives payment on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or a
Reorganized Debtor, provided, however, that to the extent the non-debtor party
making the payment is subrogated to the Creditors Claim, the non-debtor party shall have a
thirty-day grace period to notify the Claims Agent of such subrogation rights. To the extent that
one or more of the Debtors insurers agrees to satisfy a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by
a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers agreement, such Claim may
be
98
expunged (to the extent of any agreed upon satisfaction) on the official claims register by the
Claims Agent without a claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or
action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

99
and all evidence (that was not subsequently withdrawn) and arguments made, proffered or adduced at the

proving the elements of Sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of
the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard in the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy
Court also finds that the Debtors have satisfied the elements of Section 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code by clear and convincing evidence.
9. Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a): The Plan is dated and identifies the entities submitting
it, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a).
10. Compliance with the Requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code: The Plan
complies with all requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code as follows:
a. Section 1129(a)(1) Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code: The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code as required by Section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without
limitation, Sections 1122 and 1123.
100
(i) Proper Classification: Pursuant to Sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan designates Classes of Claims and Interests, other
than Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, which are not required to be classified.
As required by Section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class of Claims and Interests
contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims or
Interests within that Class.
(ii) Specification of Unimpaired Classes: Pursuant to Section 1123(a)(2) of
the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan specifies all Claims that are not Impaired.
(iii) Specification of Treatment of Impaired Classes: Pursuant to Section
1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan specifies the treatment of all
Claims and Interests that are Impaired.
(iv) No Discrimination: Pursuant to Section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code,
Article III of the Plan provides the same treatment for each Claim or Interest within a
particular Class, as the case may be, unless the Holder of a particular Claim has agreed to
less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim.
(v) Additional Plan Provisions: Pursuant to Section 1123(a)(5) of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Plan provides adequate and proper means for the Plans implementation.
The Reorganized Debtors will have, immediately upon the Effective Date of the Plan,
sufficient Cash to make all payments required to be made on the Effective Date pursuant to
the terms of the Plan. Moreover, ARTICLE VI and various other provisions of the Plan
specifically provide adequate means for the Plans implementation, including, without
limitation: (a) the continuation of the corporate existence of the Debtors and the vesting
of assets in the Reorganized Debtors; (b) the amendment of the certificates of
incorporation, charter, and bylaws of the Debtors as required to be consistent with the
provisions of the Plan and the Bankruptcy Code; (c) the cancellation of the Old Preferred
Stock and the Old UAL Common Stock; (d) the authorization and issuance or distribution of
the New Credit Facility, the New UAL Plan Securities, and the execution of related
documents; (e) the selection of the initial directors and officers of the Reorganized
Debtors, and (f) the sources of Cash for distributions under the Plan.
(vi) Voting Power of Equity Securities; Selection of Officer Director or Trustee
under the Plan: The certificates of incorporation, charter, and bylaws of the Debtors
and the Reorganized Debtors comply with Section 1123(a)(6) and Section 1123(a)(7).
b. Section 1129(a)(2) Compliance with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code: The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with all applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by Section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code,
including, without limitation, Sections 1125 and 1126 and Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018 and
3019. In particular, the Debtors are proper debtors under Section 109 of the Bankruptcy
Code and proper proponents of the Plan under Section 1121(a) of
101
the Bankruptcy Code.
Furthermore, the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan was (i) pursuant to
the Solicitation Procedures Order; (ii) in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with such solicitation; and
(iii) solicited after disclosure to Holders of Claims or Interests of adequate information
as defined in Section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Debtors and their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and Professionals have acted
in good faith within the meaning of Section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
c. Section 1129(a)(3) Proposal of Plan in Good Faith: The Debtors have
proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that
the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Court has examined the totality of the
circumstances surrounding the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan itself, and the
process leading to its formulation. The Chapter 11 Cases were filed, and the Plan was
proposed, with the legitimate purpose of allowing the Debtors to reorganize and emerge from
bankruptcy with a capital structure that will allow them to satisfy their obligations with
sufficient liquidity and capital resources.
d. Section 1129(a)(4) Bankruptcy Court Approval of Certain Payments as
Reasonable: Pursuant to Section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the payments to be
made by the Reorganized Debtors for services or for costs in connection with the Chapter 11
Cases or the Plan, including the fees and expenses payable pursuant to the New Credit
Facility, are approved. In addition, fees and expenses incurred by Professionals retained
by the Debtors or the Creditors Committee shall be payable according to the Orders
approving such firms retention.
e. Section 1129(a)(5) Disclosure of Identity of Proposed Management, Compensation
of Insiders and Consistency of Management Proposals with the Interests of Creditors and
Public Policy: Pursuant to Section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have
disclosed the identity of the proposed directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors
following Confirmation of the Plan and the identity and compensation of insiders who will be
employed or retained by the Reorganized Debtors.
f. Section 1129(a)(6) Approval of Rate Changes: The Debtors current
businesses do not involve the establishment of rates over which any regulatory commission
has or will have jurisdiction after Confirmation. Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code
is thus not applicable to these Chapter 11 Cases.
g. Section 1129(a)(7) Best Interests of Creditors and Interest Holders: The
liquidation analyses included in Exhibit 27 of the Plan Supplement, and the other evidence
related thereto that was proffered or adduced at or prior to, or in affidavits in
connection with, the Confirmation Hearing, is reasonable. The methodology used and
assumptions made in such liquidation analysis, as supplemented by the evidence proffered or
adduced at or prior to, or in affidavits filed in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing,
are reasonable. With respect to each Impaired Class, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or
Interest in such Class has accepted the Plan or will receive under the Plan on account of
such Claim or Interest property of a value, as of the Effective
102
Date, that is not less than
the amount such Holder would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
h. Section 1129(a)(8) Conclusive Presumption of Acceptance by Unimpaired Classes;
Acceptance of the Plan by Each Impaired Class: As discussed above, the Holders of DIP
Facility Claims, Secured Aircraft Claims, Other Secured Claims, Other Priority Claims, and
United Debtors Common Stock Interests are Unimpaired and are deemed conclusively to have
accepted the Plan pursuant to Section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, at least
one Impaired Class that was entitled to vote has voted to accept the Plan. Because the Plan
provides that the United Subordinated Securities Claims are impaired and because no
distributions shall be made to Holders of such Claims, such Holders are deemed conclusively
to have rejected the Plan pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore,
are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
i. Section 1129(a)(9) Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Pursuant to
Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code: The treatment of Administrative, Priority Tax,
and Other Priority Claims under Article II of the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section
1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.
j. Section 1129(a)(10) Acceptance By At Least One Impaired Class: At least
one Impaired Class has voted to accept the Plan. Accordingly, Section 1129(a)(10) of the
Bankruptcy Code is satisfied.
k. Section 1129(a)(11) Feasibility of the Plan: The Plan satisfies Section
1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code. Based upon the evidence proffered or adduced at, or
prior to, or in affidavits filed in connection with, the Confirmation Hearing, the Plan is
feasible and Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or
the need for further financial reorganization, of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or
any successor to the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan. Furthermore, the Reorganized
Debtors will have adequate capital to meet their ongoing obligations.
l. Section 1129(a)(12) Payment of Bankruptcy Fees: In accordance with
Section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code, ARTICLE XV.C of the Plan provides for the
payment of all fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a). The Reorganized Debtors have
adequate means to pay all such fees.
m. Section 1129(13) Retiree Benefits: In accordance with Section 1129(a)(13)
of the Bankruptcy Code, Article VI.R of the Plan provides that following the Effective Date
of the Plan, the payment of all retiree benefits as defined in Section 1114 of the
Bankruptcy Code shall continue at the levels established pursuant to subsections
(e)(1) or (g) of Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, except as may be modified at any
time prior to the Effective Date, for the duration of the periods the Debtors have obligated
themselves to provide such benefits.
n. Section 1129(b) Confirmation of Plan Over Nonacceptance of Impaired Class:
The Classes 1F, 1G, 1H, 1I, and 2I will receive no distribution and retain no
103
property
under the Plan and are conclusively presumed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to Section
1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan, however, satisfies the requirements of Section
1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the deemed rejecting classes. To determine
whether a plan is fair and equitable with respect to a class of interests, Section
1129(b)(2)(C)(ii) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the holder of any interest that is
junior to the interests of such class will not receive or retain under the plan on account
of such junior interest any property. There are no classes junior to the deemed rejecting
classes that will receive any distribution under the Plan. Therefore the Plan satisfies the
requirements of Section 1129(b).
11. Principal Purpose of the Plan Is Not Avoidance of Taxes: The principal purpose of
the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of Section 5 of the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. § 77e), and no governmental entity has filed any objection
asserting such avoidance.
12. Releases and Discharges: The releases and discharges of Claims and Causes of
Action described in the Plan, including releases by the Debtors and by Holders of Claims,
constitute good faith compromises and settlements of the matters covered thereby and are
consensual. Such compromises and settlements are made in exchange for consideration and are in the
best interest of Holders of Claims, are fair, equitable, reasonable, and are integral elements of
the resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Plan. Each of the discharge,
release, indemnification and exculpation provisions set forth in the Plan (i) is within the
jurisdiction of the Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(a), 1334(b) and 1334(d); (ii) is an essential
means of implementing the Plan pursuant to Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) is an
integral element of the transactions incorporated into the Plan; (iv) confers material benefit on,
and is in the best interests of, the Debtors, their estates and their creditors; (v) is important
to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve all Claims among or against the
parties-in-interest in the Chapter 11 Cases with respect to the Debtors; and (vi) is consistent
with Sections 105, 1123, 1129 and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
13. Disclosure: Agreements and Other Documents: The Debtors have disclosed all
material facts regarding: (i) the adoption the New Certificates of Incorporation, or similar
constituent documents; (ii) the selection of directors and officers for the Reorganized Debtors;
(iii) the New Credit Facility; (iv) the distribution of Cash; (v) the issuance of the New UAL Plan
Securities; (vi) the adoption, execution and implementation of employment, retirement and
indemnification agreements, incentive compensation programs, retirement income plans, welfare
benefit plans and other employee
plans and related agreements; (vii) the adoption, execution and implementation of the other
matters provided for under the Plan involving corporate action to be taken by or required of the
Reorganized Debtors; (viii) the adoption, execution and delivery of all contracts, leases,
instruments, releases, indentures and other agreements related to any of the foregoing; (ix) the
Rights Offering.
14. Approval of New Credit Facility: The New Credit Facility is an essential element
of the Plan, and entry therein is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and their
creditors. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining to enter the New
Credit Facility and have provided adequate notice thereof.
104
15. Confirmation Hearing Exhibits: All of the Confirmation Hearing Exhibits presented
at the Confirmation Hearing have been properly received into evidence and are a part of the record
before the Bankruptcy Court.
16. Objections to Confirmation of the Plan: All objections to Confirmation filed with
the Bankruptcy Court have been withdrawn, settled, or otherwise resolved.
17. Issuance of New UAL Plan Securities: The Debtors (and each of their respective
affiliates, agents, directors, officers, members, managers, employees, advisors, and attorneys)
have, and upon Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in
compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the distribution of
the New UAL Plan Securities under the Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such
distributions will not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or
regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such
distributions made pursuant to the Plan.
B. Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests: Pursuant to Section 1141(d) of the
Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation
Order, the distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall be in complete
satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of the Confirmation Date (but subject to the
occurrence of the Effective Date), of Claims and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever,
including any interest accrued on Claims from and after the Petition Date, whether known or
unknown, against, liabilities of, liens on, obligations of, rights against, and Interests in, the
Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been
distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims, rights, and Interests,
including, without limitation, demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action that arose before the
Confirmation Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims relate
to services performed by employees of the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Date and that arise
from a termination of employment or a termination of any
employee or retiree benefit program regardless of whether such termination occurred prior to or
after the Confirmation Date, and all debts of the kind specified in Sections 502(g), 502(h), or
502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not (i) a Proof of Claim or Interest based
upon such debt, right, or Interest is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to Section 501 of the
Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a Claim or Interest based upon such debt, right, or Interest is allowed
pursuant to Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) the Holder of such a Claim, right, or
Interest has accepted the Plan. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the
discharge of all Claims against, liabilities of, and Interest in the Debtors, subject to the
Effective Date occurring.
C. Subordinated Claims: The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims
and Interests and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account
and/or conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in
connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto,
whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, Section 510(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Pursuant to Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors reserve
the right to re-classify any Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal,
or equitable subordination relating thereto.
105
D. Compromise and Settlement of Claims and Controversies: Pursuant to Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other
benefits provided pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith
compromise of all Claims or controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination
rights that a Holder of a Claim may have with respect to any Allowed Claim, or any distribution to
be made on account of such an Allowed Claim. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute
the Bankruptcy Courts approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims or
controversies, and the Bankruptcy Courts finding that such compromise or settlement is in the best
interests of the Debtors, their estates, and Holders of Claims and is fair, equitable, and
reasonable. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, pursuant to Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), without any further notice to or action, order, or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors may compromise and settle Claims against them and
Causes of Action against other Entities, in their sole and absolute discretion, and after the
Effective Date, such right shall pass to the Reorganized Debtors.
E. Final Resolution of Reserved Rights: Notwithstanding any asserted or prior reservations
of rights, on the Effective Date, any and all objections to or reservations of rights to object to,
the Claims and distributions provided for under the Section 1113 Restructuring Agreements, the PBGC
Settlement Agreement, or the SAM Distribution, or any other distribution provided for under the
Plan shall be deemed to have been overruled, and any and all parties in interest are forever barred
from objecting to or challenging any such distributions, provided, however, that
nothing in this paragraph shall extinguish an objection or challenge pending as of the Effective
Date.
F. Releases by the Debtors: Pursuant to Section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided
in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, for good and valuable consideration, including the service of
the Released Parties to facilitate the expeditious reorganization of the Debtors and the
implementation of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan, on and after the Effective Date, the
Released Parties are deemed released and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and
the Estates from any and all Claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action,
remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including, without limitation, any derivative Claims asserted
on behalf of the Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter
arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or
their Affiliates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether
individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Interest or other Person
or Entity, based upon or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the
Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any
security of the Debtor, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any
Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between any
Debtor and any Released Party, the restructuring of Claims and Interests prior to or in the Chapter
11 Cases, the negotiation, formulation, or preparation of the Plan and Disclosure Statement, or
related agreements, instruments, or other documents, upon any other act or omission, transaction,
agreement, event, or upon any other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date other
than Claims or liabilities arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released Party
that constitutes a failure to perform the duty to act in good faith, with the care of an ordinarily
106
prudent person and in a manner the Released Party reasonably believed to be in the best interests
of the corporation (to the extent such duty is imposed by applicable non-bankruptcy law) where such
failure to perform constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence.
G. Exculpation: Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no
Exculpated Party shall have or incur, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated
from any Exculpated Claim, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, but in all respects
such Entities shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their
duties and responsibilities pursuant to the Plan. The Debtors (and each of their respective
Affiliates, agents, directors, officers, employees, advisors, and attorneys) have, and upon
Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with
the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the distributions of the securities
pursuant to the Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be,
liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the
solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the
Plan.
H. Releases by Holders of Claims and Interests: On and after the Effective Date, Holders of
Claims and Interests (a) voting to accept the Plan, or (b) abstaining from voting on the Plan and
electing not to opt out of the release contained in this paragraph, shall be deemed to have
conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever, released and discharged the
Released Parties
from any and all Claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and
liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative Claims asserted on behalf of a Debtor, whether
known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or
otherwise, that such Person or Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether
individually or collectively), based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or
in part, the Debtors, the Debtors restructuring, the Debtors Chapter 11 Cases, the purchase,
sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtors, the subject matter of,
or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan,
the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor, any Released Party, the restructuring
of Claims and Interests prior to or in the Chapter 11 Cases, the negotiation, formulation, or
preparation of the Plan and Disclosure Statement, or related agreements, instruments, or other
documents, upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence
taking place on or before the Effective Date other than Claims or liabilities arising out of or
relating to any act or omission of a Released Party that constitutes a failure to perform the duty
to act in good faith, with the care of an ordinarily prudent person and in a manner the Released
Party reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation (to the extent such duty
is imposed by applicable non-bankruptcy law) where such failure to perform constitutes willful
misconduct or gross negligence.
I. Chicago Municipal Bond Release: Pursuant to the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Order
and the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement, on and after the Effective Date, the Chicago
Municipal Bond Released Parties, including but not limited to the Trustees and the Designated
Holders (as those terms are defined in the Chicago
107
Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement) shall be
conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever, released and discharged from
any and all Claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and
liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative Claims asserted on behalf of a Debtor, whether
known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or
otherwise, of any Person or Entity, including the Holders (as defined under the Chicago Municipal

any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Chicago Municipal Bond Agreements, the Chicago
Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement, that certain Amended and Restated Airport Use Agreement and
Terminal Facilities Lease dated as of January 1, 1985 between the City of Chicago and United, and
any other agreement relating to the Chicago Municipal Bonds other than Claims or liabilities
arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Chicago Municipal Bond Released Party that
constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence.
J. Injunction: Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or for obligations issued
pursuant to the Plan, all Entities who have held, hold, or may hold Claims against or Interests in
the Debtors or against the Released Parties and Exculpated Parties are permanently enjoined, from
and after the Effective Date, from: (i) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other
proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claim
against or Interest in the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties,
the Released Parties, any statutory committee or members thereof, and the employees, agents, and
professionals of each of the foregoing (acting in such capacity); (ii) enforcing, attaching,
collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree or order against those
Entities listed in subparagraph (i) above on account of or in connection with or with respect to
any such Claim against or Interest in the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, the Released
Parties, any statutory committee or members thereof, and the employees, agents, and professionals
of each of the foregoing (acting in such capacity); (iii) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any
encumbrance of any kind against those Entities listed in subparagraph (i) above, or the property or
estates of those Entities listed in subparagraph (i) above on account of or in connection with or
with respect to any such Claim against or Interest in the Reorganized Debtors, the Released
Parties, the Exculpated Parties, any statutory committee or members thereof, and the employees,
agents, and professionals of each of the foregoing (acting in such capacity); (iv) asserting any
right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from those
Entities listed in subparagraph (i) above or against the property or Estates of those Entities
listed in subparagraph (i) above on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such
Claim against or Interest in the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, the Released Parties,
any statutory committee or members thereof, and the employees, agents, and professionals of each of
the foregoing (acting in such capacity) unless such Holder has filed a motion requesting the right
to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding an indication in a
Proof of Claim or Interest or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any
right of setoff pursuant to Section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; and (v) commencing or
continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection
with or with respect to any such Claim against or Interest in the Reorganized Debtors, the Released
Parties, the Exculpated Parties any statutory
108
committee or members thereof, and the employees,
agents, and professionals of each of the foregoing (acting in such capacity) released or settled
pursuant to the Plan.
K. Protection Against Discriminatory Treatment: Consistent with Section 525 of the
Bankruptcy Code and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all Entities, including, without
limitation, Governmental Units, shall not discriminate against the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or
other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant
against, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom such Debtors or
Reorganized Debtors has been associated, solely because any of the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors is or has been a debtor under Chapter 11, has been insolvent before the commencement of the
Chapter 11 Cases, or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor is
granted or denied a discharge, or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11
Cases.
L. Setoffs: Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan, each Debtor and
Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation,
Section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the
Holder of a Claim, may setoff against any Allowed Claim or Interest and the distributions to be
made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest (before any distribution is made
on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest), any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any
nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may hold against the Holder of such
Allowed Claim or Interest, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such
Holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether
pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to
effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim or Interest pursuant to the Plan shall
constitute a waiver or release by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor of any such Claims, rights, and
Causes of Action that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may possess against such Holder. In no
event shall any Holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to setoff any Claim or Interest against
any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, unless such Holder
has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff on or
before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or Interest
or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to
Section 553 or otherwise.
M. Recoupment: In no event shall any Holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to recoup
any Claim or Interest against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor or the Reorganized
Debtor, unless such Holder has performed such recoupment on or before the Confirmation Date,
notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or Interest or otherwise that such Holder
asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.
N. Release of Liens: Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract,
instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective
Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to ARTICLE IX of the Plan,
all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of
the Estates shall be deemed fully released, discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest
of any Holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall
revert to the applicable Debtor and its successors and assigns.
109
O. Tax Escrow: Upon the Effective Date, LaSalle Bank National Association is authorized and
directed to disburse all funds in the Tax Escrow Account to Reorganized United for use in
Reorganized Uniteds general operations, and once such disbursement is made, the Tax Escrow
Agreement shall terminate, all without any notice to parties-in-interest and without any further
notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
P. Document Retention: On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may
maintain documents in accordance with their current document retention policy; provided,
however, that the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend,
modify, or supplement such policy in the ordinary course of business.
Q. Reimbursement or Contribution: If the Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an entity pursuant to Section
502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the
time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim shall be forever disallowed notwithstanding Section
502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Effective Date: (i) such Claim has been
adjudicated as noncontingent; or (ii) the relevant Creditor has Filed a noncontingent Proof of
Claim on account of such Claim and has requested a determination from the Court that such Claim is
no longer contingent.
R. Special Tax Provisions: Section 346 of the Bankruptcy Code shall apply to any taxes that
may potentially result from, or may be related to, the events, transactions and occurrences of the
Plan and these Cases.
S. Ownership and Control: The Consummation of the Plan shall not constitute a change of
ownership or change in control, as such terms are used in any statute, regulation, contract or
agreement, including, but not limited to, any employment, severance or termination, or insurance
agreements, in effect on the Effective Date and to which either of the Debtors is a party or under
any applicable law of any applicable Governmental Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors
and Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to selectively waive this provision of the Plan.
T. Return of Deposits: All utilities, that received a deposit during these Cases,
including, without limitation, gas, electric, telephone, and sewer, shall return such Deposits to
the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, either by setoff against
postpetition indebtedness or by cash refund, within 45 days following the Effective Date.
All deposits made during these Cases to American Express, including, without limitation, any
deposits made to secure the Debtors obligations related to credit card arrangements, shall be
returned to the Debtors and/or Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, by cash refund, within 7
days following the Effective Date.
U. References to Plan Provisions: The failure specifically to include or to refer to any
particular provision of the Plan in the Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the
effectiveness of such provision, it being the intent of the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan be
confirmed in its entirety.
V. Confirmation of Less than All Subplans: In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not
order substantive consolidation, the Debtors may seek confirmation of any or all Subplans, but the
Debtors inability to confirm any Subplan or the Debtors election to withdraw any Subplan shall
not impair the confirmation of any other Subplan or the consummation of any such Subplan. In the
event that the Bankruptcy Court does not confirm the UAL Subplan, the Debtors
110
reserve the right to
incorporate a new UAL Corporation after the Effective Date as the Debtors holding company to
replace UAL.
ARTICLE XI.
ALLOWANCE AND PAYMENT OF CERTAIN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS
A. DIP Facility Claim: On the Effective Date, the DIP Facility Claim shall be allowed in an amount to be agreed upon by
the Debtors and the DIP Lenders, and all obligations of the Debtors pursuant to the DIP Facility
shall be paid in full in Cash on the Effective Date. Upon compliance with the foregoing sentence,
all Liens and security interests granted to secure such obligations shall be deemed cancelled and
shall be of no further force and effect. To the extent that the DIP Lenders or the DIP Facility
Agent have filed or recorded publicly any Liens and/or security interests to secure the Debtors
obligations pursuant to the DIP Facility, the DIP Lenders or the DIP Facility Agent, as applicable,
shall perform all acts required and/or requested by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to
cancel and/or extinguish such publicly filed Liens and/or security interests.
B. Professional Claims
1. Final Fee Applications: All final requests for payment of Claims of a Professional
shall be filed no later than forty-five (45) days after the Confirmation Date. After notice and a
hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code and prior Final Orders
of the Bankruptcy Court, the Allowed amounts of such Professional Claims shall be determined by the
Bankruptcy Court.

Reorganized Debtors shall, in the ordinary course of business and without any further notice to or
action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, pay the reasonable legal, professional, or
other fees and expenses incurred by the Reorganized Debtors related to implementation and
consummation of the Plan. Upon the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals comply
with Sections 327 through 331 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for
services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Reorganized Debtors may employ and pay
any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to or action, order,
or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
C. Substantial Contribution Compensation and Expenses Bar Date: Any Person who requests
compensation or expense reimbursement for making a substantial contribution in the Chapter 11 Cases
pursuant to Sections 503(b)(3), (4), and (5) of the Bankruptcy Code must file an application with
the Bankruptcy Court and serve such application on counsel for the Debtors and as otherwise
required by the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy
Code, and the Case
111
Management Procedures on or before the Administrative Claim Bar Date or be
forever barred from seeking such compensation or expense reimbursement.
D. Other Administrative Claims: All requests for payment of an Administrative Claim (other
than as set forth in ARTICLE XI.B of the Plan and subject to the final sentence of ARTICLE XI.D of
the Plan) must be filed with the Claims Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors on or before
the Administrative Claim Bar Date. Any request for payment of an Administrative Claim pursuant to
this ARTICLE XI.D of the Plan that is not timely Filed and served shall be disallowed automatically
without the need for any objection by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. The Reorganized
Debtors, in their sole and absolute discretion, may settle any Administrative Claim or pay any
Administrative Claim in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to or action,
order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors object to an Administrative Claim, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount
of such Administrative Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no request for payment of an
Administrative Claim need be filed with respect to an Administrative Claim, which previously has
been Allowed by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

113
one or more times, prior to the Plans substantial consummation. The Debtors reserve the exclusive
right to alter, amend, or modify the Plan, any Subplan, the Plan Supplement, or any exhibits

that all modifications or amendments to the Plan since the solicitation are approved pursuant to
Section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and do not require additional disclosure or resolicitation
under Rule 3019.
C. Revocation or Withdrawal of Plan: The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw
the Plan or any Subplan prior to the Confirmation Date and to file subsequent plans of
reorganization. If a Debtor revokes or withdraws the Plan or any Subplan, or if Confirmation or
Consummation does not occur, then (i) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects, (ii) any
settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan (including the fixing or limiting to an amount
certain any Claim or Interest or Class of Claims or Interests), assumption or rejection of
executory contracts or unexpired leases effected by the Plan, and any document or agreement
executed pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed null and void, and (iii) nothing contained in the

Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(g) or 7062, or otherwise, immediately upon the entry of the
Confirmation Order, the terms of the Plan and the Plan Supplement shall be immediately effective
and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and any and all
Holders of Claims or Interests (irrespective of whether such Claims or Interests are impaired under

the Plan), all entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises,
releases, discharges, and injunctions described in the Plan or herein, each Person acquiring

the provisions and intent of the Plan.

appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall dissolve automatically, except with respect to applications

117
2. Plan Oversight Committee
a. Plan Oversight Committee Existence: On the Effective Date, the Creditors
Committee shall be dissolved, all existing members of the Creditors Committee shall be
released and discharged from office, and there shall be created the Plan Oversight
Committee, which shall be deemed a successor-in-interest to the Creditors Committee for all
purposes and which shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.
b. Plan Oversight Committee Membership
(i) The Plan Oversight Committee shall consist of three members who are unsecured
creditors of the Debtors, selected by the Creditors Committee. The Creditors Committee
shall notify the Debtors, in writing, of the identities of the three members of the Plan
Oversight Committee at least five (5) business days prior to the Confirmation Hearing.
(ii) In the event any member of the Plan Oversight Committee assigns all or
substantially all of its Claim or releases the Debtors from any further distribution on its
Claim, such assignment or release shall constitute the resignation by such member from the
Plan Oversight Committee, unless otherwise agreed to by the Reorganized Debtors and each
remaining member of the Plan Oversight Committee. In the event of a resignation or removal
of a member of the Plan Oversight Committee for any reason, a replacement shall be
designated by the remaining members of the Plan Oversight Committee. If the Reorganized
Debtors object to the selection of the initial or replacement members of the New Committee,
they may apply to the Bankruptcy Court for appropriate relief, and pending a determination
by the Bankruptcy Court, the proposed members shall not be given access to the confidential
or proprietary information concerning the Reorganized Debtors.
c. Plan Oversight Committee Governance: Except as otherwise provided in ARTICLE
XV.D.2, the Plan Oversight Committee shall have the power to adopt rules of procedure and
may choose one of its
members to act as chairman. The Plan Oversight Committee shall act by majority vote of
its members.
d. Plan Oversight Committee Standing in the Bankruptcy Case: The Plan Oversight
Committees post-Effective Date standing and participation is limited to the following
Bankruptcy Court proceedings:
(i) any appeal from or motion related to the Confirmation Order;
(ii) matters related to proposed modifications or amendments to the Plan;
(iii) all applications for allowance of compensation to professional persons;
(iv) any action to enforce, implement or interpret the Plan;
118
(v) any claim objection to the extent the Committee has objected to such claim pursuant
to ARTICLE XV.D.2.e below; and
(vi) such other matters as may be agreed upon in advance and in writing by the
Reorganized Debtors in their sole and absolute discretion and the Plan Oversight Committee.
e. Claims Objections, Avoidance Actions, and Other Matters
(i) The Reorganized Debtors shall periodically report to and consult with the Plan
Oversight Committee concerning:
(A) the status of reconciliations, objections, resolutions, and settlement of claims
(including without limitation administrative and cure claims) and procedures therefor;
(B) reserves established on account of such claims;
(C) distributions on account of such claims; and
(D) the status of any Avoidance Actions.
(ii) The Plan Oversight Committee may request that the Reorganized Debtors object to
any particular Claim with a face amount in excess of $1,000,000, failing which the Plan
Oversight Committee, for good cause shown and after giving the Reorganized Debtors a
reasonable period of time of at least 90 days and opportunity to object, may file a motion
seeking to commence such an objection on behalf of the estate, and the Reorganized Debtors
shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with the foregoing; provided,
however, that the Plan Oversight Committee shall be barred from objecting to any Claim
previously settled between the Reorganized Debtors and the
respective Creditor. The Plan Oversight Committee shall have no liability to any party
for any action or omission to act with respect to Claims.

(iv) The rights and powers of the Plan Oversight Committee are strictly limited to
those matters expressly enumerated in ARTICLE XV.D.2 and such rights and powers may only be
exercised in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions set forth therein.
Accordingly, nothing in ARTICLE XV.D.2 of the Plan (nor in any other section of the Plan)
shall confer on the Plan Oversight Committee the right to intervene in the claims objection,
avoidance action, or other proceedings in any way related to the Plan or the administration
of the Post-Confirmation Estate under Section 1109 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule
7024, or otherwise. The Plan Oversight Committee may not seek leave of court to expand its
role beyond that set forth in ARTICLE XV.D.2
119
of the Plan without the prior written consent
of the Reorganized Debtors, which may be withheld in the Reorganized Debtors sole and
absolute discretion.
f. Plan Oversight Committee Compensation, Expense Reimbursement, and Professional
Representation
(i) Plan Oversight Committee Member Expense Reimbursement: The members of the
Plan Oversight Committee shall serve without compensation, but they shall be reimbursed by
the Reorganized Debtors for their reasonable and necessary out of pocket expenses incident
to the performance of their duties within 30 days of their submission of a detailed invoice,
without further order of Court. In the event that the Reorganized Debtors or the Plan
Oversight Committee objects to the amount of expenses requested by a member to be
reimbursed, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay any undisputed portion and the objecting party
shall file an objection to the balance with the Bankruptcy Court, which shall determine the
amount to be paid.
(ii) Professional Compensation: The Plan Oversight Committee may retain such
attorneys, accountants and other professionals as are reasonable and necessary to assist the
Plan Oversight Committee in the performance of its duties; provided, however, that the Plan
Oversight Committee shall provide the Reorganized Debtors with five (5) business days
advance notice of any such retention. Such professionals shall be compensated and
reimbursed by the Reorganized Debtors for their reasonable fees and necessary out of pocket
expenses that are consistent with the budget established below within 30 days of their
submission of detailed invoices, without further order of Court. In the event that the
Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Oversight Committee objects to the amount of fees and/or
expenses sought by Committees professionals, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay any
undisputed portion and the objecting party shall file an objection to the balance with the
Bankruptcy Court, which shall determine the amount to be paid.
(iii) Budget: On or before the confirmation of the Plan, and the first day of
every quarter thereafter, the prospective members of the Plan Oversight Committee shall
provide the Reorganized Debtors with a quarterly budget of anticipated member expenses and
professional fees and expenses. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event
that a particular Plan Oversight Committee members expense reimbursement request exceeds
$ per month, or the Plan Oversight Committees total professional fees and expenses
exceed $ per month, such member and/or all such Committee professionals, as the case may
be, shall provide the Reorganized Debtors with a written explanation of the reasons such
fees and/or expenses exceeded the anticipated budget (together with the relevant invoice
and/or expense reimbursement request), and if the Reorganized Debtors reasonably believe
that such fees and/or expenses are unreasonable, they shall so inform the relevant member
and/or professionals, in which case such member and/or professionals must submit the
relevant invoice and/or expense reimbursement (together with its written explanation) to the
Bankruptcy Court for allowance.
g. Exculpation of Post Confirmation Committee: Except for their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct, the members of the Post Confirmation Committee shall not be
120
liable to, and
shall be exculpated under the Plan for any liability to, any person or entity for any act taken or
omitted by them and may, in good faith, exercise or fail to exercise any of their rights, duties,
obligations or powers, nor shall the Committees agents (in their capacity as such) be responsible
for any recitals, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity,
genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or any exhibit
thereto or be liable to any person or entity for any action taken or omitted by them in the Chapter
11 Cases or otherwise in connection with their duties.
h. Plan Oversight Committee Duration: The Plan Oversight Committee shall be dissolved and its
members discharged and released by order of the Bankruptcy Court at the earlier of (a) upon
completion of the functions assigned the Plan Oversight Committee, (b) at such time as the Plan has
been consummated, (c) upon approval of its own application to the Bankruptcy Court, or (d) once
two-thirds of the total equity reserved for the unsecured creditor body under the Plan has been
distributed to such creditors; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon notice to the Plan Oversight Committee and a hearing at any time after the First
Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors may apply to the Bankruptcy Court for the dissolution of
the Plan Oversight Committee.
E. Reservation of Rights: Except as expressly set forth in the Plan, the Plan shall have no
force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court shall enter the Confirmation Order. None of the filing
of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by any
Debtor with respect to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan Supplement shall be or shall
be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor with respect to the Holders of
Claims or Interests prior to the Effective Date.
F. Successors and Assigns: The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Entity named or
referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor,
administrator, successor or assign, affiliate, officer, director, agent, representative, attorney,
beneficiaries, or guardian, if any, of such Entity.
G. Service of Documents
1. Prior to the Effective Date, any pleading, notice, or other document required by the Plan

2. After the Effective Date, the currently existing Bankruptcy Rule 2002 service list will be
disregarded and any filings shall be served pursuant to the case management order as the same may
be amended or modified. Entities that wish to be served with all filings in this case must file an
electronic appearance with the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all parties must continue to comply with the case management order in the Chapter 11
Case, the Local Rules for the Northern District of Illinois, and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure.
122
3. Notice of Entry of the Confirmation Order: In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 2002
and 3020(c), within five business days of the date of entry of this Confirmation Order, the
Reorganized Debtors (or their agents) shall provide the Notice of Confirmation by United States
mail, first class postage prepaid, by hand, or by overnight courier service to all parties having
been served with the Solicitation Notice; provided, however, that no notice or service of any kind
shall be required to be mailed or made upon any person to whom the Debtors mailed a Solicitation
Notice, but received such notice returned marked undeliverable as addressed, moved, left no
forwarding address or forwarding order expired, or similar reason, unless the Debtors have been
informed in writing by such person, or are otherwise aware, of that persons new address. To
supplement the notice described in the preceding sentence, within fifteen days of the date of this
Order the Debtors shall publish Notice of Confirmation once in The Wall Street Journal. Mailing
and publication of the Notice of Confirmation in the time and manner set forth in the preceding
paragraph are good and sufficient under the particular circumstances and in accordance with the
requirements of Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), and no further notice is necessary.
H. Term of Injunctions or Stays: Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in
effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order
of the Bankruptcy Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays
contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the
Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall bar the taking of such other actions as are necessary to effectuate the
transactions specifically contemplated by the Plan or by the Confirmation Order.
I. Entire Agreement: Except as otherwise indicated, the Plan and the Plan Supplement (as
amended from time to time) supersede all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises,
covenants, agreements, understandings and representations on such subjects, all of which have
become merged and integrated into the Plan.
J. Governing Law: Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including
the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules) or unless otherwise specifically stated, the laws of the
State of Illinois, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws, shall govern the
rights, obligations, construction and implementation of the Plan, any agreements, documents,
instruments, or contracts executed or entered into in connection with the Plan (except as otherwise
set forth in those agreements, in which case the governing law of such agreement shall control),
and corporate governance matters; provided, however, that corporate governance
matters relating to Debtors not incorporated in Illinois shall be governed by the laws of the state
of incorporation of the applicable Debtor.
K. Exhibits: All exhibits and documents included in the Plan Supplement are incorporated
into and are a part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan. Such exhibits and documents
included in the Plan Supplement shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Plan
Supplement Filing Date. After the exhibits and documents are filed, copies of such exhibits and
documents can be obtained by contacting Poorman-Douglas at the number above or by downloading such
exhibits and documents from the Debtors private website at http://www.pd-ual.com or the Bankruptcy
Courts website at http://www.ilnb.uscourts.gov. To the extent any
123
exhibit or document is
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the
non-exhibit or non-document portion of the Plan shall control.
L. Nonseverability of Plan Provisions: All provisions of the Plan are integral thereto and
no provision may be deleted or modified without the Debtors consent, in their sole and absolute
discretion.
M. Plan and Confirmation Order Mutually Dependant: The provisions of the Plan and the
Confirmation Order are nonseverable and mutually dependant.
N. Closing of Chapter 11 Cases: The Reorganized Debtors shall, promptly after the full administration of the Chapter 11 Cases,
file with the Bankruptcy Court all documents required by Bankruptcy Rule 3022 and any applicable
order of the Bankruptcy Court to close the Chapter 11 Cases.
O. Section Headings: The Section headings contained in the Plan are for reference purposes
only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Plan.
P. Waiver or Estoppel: Each Holder of a Claim or an Interest shall be deemed to have waived
any right to assert any argument, including, without limitation, the right to argue that its Claim
or Interest should be Allowed in a certain amount, in a certain priority, secured or not
subordinated by virtue of an agreement made with the Debtors and/or their counsel, the Creditors
Committee and/or its counsel, or any other Person, if such agreement was not disclosed in the Plan,
the Disclosure Statement, or papers filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.
Q. Conflicts: Except as set forth in the Plan, to the extent that any provision of the
Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, or any other order referenced in the Plan (or any
exhibits, schedules, appendices, supplements, or amendments to any of the foregoing), conflict with
or are in any way inconsistent with any provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern and control;
provided, however, that to the extent that any provision of the Disclosure
Statement, the Plan Supplement, any other order referenced in the Plan, or the Plan (or any
exhibits, schedules, appendices, supplements, or amendments to any of the foregoing), conflict with
or are in any way inconsistent with any provision of the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order
shall govern and control.

v
ARTICLE I.
SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information contained
in the Plan and elsewhere in this Disclosure Statement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan.
UAL Corporation (UAL) is a holding company whose principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is
United Air Lines, Inc. (United). Uniteds operations, which consist primarily of the
transportation of persons, property, and mail throughout the U.S. and abroad, accounted for most of
UALs revenues and expenses in 2004. United is one of the largest scheduled passenger airlines in
the world with over 1,500 daily departures to more than 120 destinations in 26 countries and two
U.S. territories. Through Uniteds global route network, United serves virtually every major
market around the world, either directly or through the Star Alliance, which is the worlds largest
airline network. In addition to the Star Alliance, United provides regional service into Uniteds
domestic hubs through marketing relationships with United Express® carriers. In 2004,
United added a new low-fare brand, called Ted, designed to serve select leisure markets and to more
effectively compete with low-fare carriers.
As discussed more fully below, on December 9, 2002 (the Petition Date), UAL, United, and 26
other direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the Bankruptcy Court).
The foregoing entities are sometimes referred to collectively as the Debtors and each
individually as a Debtor and, on or after the Effective Date, collectively as the Reorganized
Debtors and each individually as a Reorganized Debtor.
This Disclosure Statement is being furnished by the Debtors as proponents of the Debtors
Joint Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (as may be
amended from time to time, the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix A), pursuant
to Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and in connection with the solicitation of votes for the
acceptance or rejection of the Plan, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in
accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the Bankruptcy
Rules).
This Disclosure Statement describes certain aspects of the Plan, including the treatment of
Holders of Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtors, and also describes certain aspects of the
Debtors operations, projections and other related matters.
A. The Purpose of the Plan
The Debtors have concluded, after careful review of their current business operations, their
prospects as ongoing business enterprises, and the estimated recoveries of Creditors in various
liquidation scenarios, that the recovery of Holders of Allowed Claims will be maximized by the
Debtors continued operation as a going concern. The Debtors believe that their businesses and
assets have significant value that would not be realized in a liquidation scenario, either in whole
or in substantial part. According to the liquidation analysis described herein (the Liquidation
Analysis) and the other analyses prepared by the Debtors and their advisors, the value of the
Debtors Estates is considerably greater as a going concern than if they were liquidated.
Accordingly, the Debtors believe that the Plan provides the best recoveries possible for the
Holders of Allowed Claims and strongly recommend that, if you are entitled to vote, you vote to
accept the Plan. The Debtors believe that any alternative to Confirmation of the Plan, such as
liquidation or
attempts by another party in interest to file a plan of reorganization, could result in
significant delays, litigation, and additional costs. For more
information, see ARTICLE V hereof and the
Liquidation Analysis set forth as Appendix B hereto and in the Plan Supplement to the Debtors
Joint Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Plan Supplement),
as Exhibit 27.2
B. Debtors Principal Assets and Indebtedness
UALs principal asset is the stock of United and the other Debtor-subsidiaries. UALs
principal indebtedness is: (i) its guarantee of the indebtedness under the DIP Facility; (ii)
guarantees of certain aircraft-related indebtedness of Air Wisconsin; (iii) guarantees of two
municipal bond issuances (the Regional Airports Improvement Corporation (RAIC) Adjustable-Rate
Facilities Lease Refunding Revenue Bonds, Issue of 1984, United Air Lines, Inc. (Los Angeles
International Airport) and RAIC Facilities Lease Refunding Revenue Bonds, Issue of 1992, United Air
Lines, Inc. (Los Angeles International Airport)); and (iv) its indebtedness with respect to the
TOPrS.
For the 12 months ended December 2004, United accounted for approximately 95.1% of the
Debtors operating revenues on a consolidated basis. Uniteds principal assets are its airline
business and the stock of its subsidiaries. Uniteds principal indebtedness is: (i) its
indebtedness under the DIP Facility; (ii) its aircraft-related indebtedness; (iii) its indebtedness
under the Unsecured Debentures; and (iv) its indebtedness in connection with issuances of municipal
bonds.
C. Treatment of Claims and Interests
The Plan divides all Claims and Interests against each Debtor into various Classes. As the
Plan contemplates substantive consolidation of the United Debtors (i.e., all Debtors other than
UAL), the United Debtor Classes will be consolidated as set forth in
ARTICLE I.E below. Except as such
Classes may be consolidated under the Plan, each Class of Claims and Interests will be treated
separately in the Plan. Certain Classes may receive distributions under the Plan, and substantive
consolidation will not affect the treatment and distributions received by the various Classes. The
following tables summarize the Classes of Claims and Interests under the Plan, the treatment of
such Classes and the projected recovery under the Plan, if any, for such Classes. The projected
recoveries are based upon certain assumptions contained in the valuation analysis set forth as
Appendix C hereto and in the Plan Supplement, as Exhibit 29 (the Valuation Analysis), including
an assumed reorganization value of the New UAL Common Stock equal to approximately $15 per share.
As more fully described herein, the assumed reorganization values of the New UAL Common Stock were
derived from commonly accepted valuation techniques and are not estimates of trading values for
such securities. The range listed below of a 4-7 percent recovery for Holders of Unsecured Claims
is based on various assumptions, including, but not limited to (i) final Unsecured Claims ranging
between $20-30 billion and (ii) an equity value of the Debtors of $1.9 billion.

instruments, and documents underlying such Intercompany Claims as of the Effective Date or such
other date as is appropriate.
Except as set forth in the Plan, however, each Intercompany Contract to which any Debtor is a
party shall be deemed automatically assumed in accordance with the provisions and requirements of
Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date to the extent such contracts
and leases are executory.

F. Claims Estimates
As of September 1, 2005, the Debtors Claims Agent had received approximately 44,716 Proofs of
Claim. As of September 1, 2005, the total amounts of remaining Claims filed against the Debtors
were as follows: 319 Secured Claims in the total amount of $13,545,350,698.99; 95 Administrative
Claims in the total amount of $319,766,767.14; 256 Claims asserting Priority Claims in the total
amount of $10,470,875,378.18; and 6,208 Unsecured Claims in the total amount of $20,422,648,792.51.
The Debtors believe that many of the filed Proofs of Claim are invalid, untimely, duplicative,
overstated, and therefore are in the process of objecting to such Claims. Through such objections,
the Bankruptcy Court has to date disallowed a total of approximately $3.618 trillion in Claims
(including reduced retroactive pay claims of $3.375 trillion (the Retroactive Pay
Claims)).4
The Debtors estimate that at the conclusion of the Claims objection, reconciliation and
resolution process, the aggregate amount of estimated Allowed Secured Claims against the Debtors
will aggregate approximately $8 billion, estimated Allowed Priority Tax Claims against the Debtors
will aggregate approximately $60 million, and estimated Allowed Unsecured Claims against the
Debtors will aggregate approximately $28 billion. 5 These estimates are based upon a
number of assumptions made by the Debtors. There is no guarantee that the ultimate amount of each
of such categories of Claims will conform to the estimates stated herein, and most of the Claims
underlying such estimates are subject to challenge.
The Debtors estimate that at the conclusion of the Claims objection, reconciliation and
resolution process, the aggregate amount of estimated Allowed Administrative Claims against the
Debtors will aggregate approximately $81 million. The estimate of Allowed Administrative Claims
includes, inter alia, Claims associated with the cure of assumed executory contracts and unexpired
leases, Claims related to aircraft subject to Section 1110(a) elections and/or Section 1110(b)
stipulations (but not any Claims asserted by parties seeking allowance of administrative claims
under Sections 503(b) and 365(d)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code for aircraft), Claims arising from a
right of reclamation, and certain Administrative Claim requests reflected on the Claims Register
and docket for which the Debtors reasonably expect there to be a recovery. The estimate of Allowed
Administrative Claims does not include ordinary course obligations incurred post-petition such as
trade payables, the Debtors key employee retention plans, or Professional fees.
G. Reorganized Debtors and the Post-Confirmation Estate
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Debtor shall continue to exist as a Reorganized
Debtor after the Effective Date as a separate entity with all the powers of a corporation or a
limited liability company under the laws of the respective state of incorporation or formation and
without prejudice to any right to alter or terminate such existence (whether by merger,
dissolution, or otherwise) under such applicable state law. Except as otherwise provided in the
Plan, on or after the Effective Date, all property in each Estate and any property acquired by each
of the Debtors under the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of
all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances.
|
|
|
4 |
|
Certain of the Debtors IAM and
AMFA-represented employees were entitled to an effective wage increase,
retroactive from July 12, 2000, to mid-March 2002 (herein, the
Retroactive Pay). Retroactive Pay was payable in eight quarterly
installments at 6% interest, compounded annually. United made the first
installment payment on December 13, 2002, and the final payment on October 15,
2004. |
|
5 |
|
The estimate of Allowed Unsecured Claims includes,
among other things, proposed distributions to the Debtors employee
groups as discussed in Article III.C.4 herein. |
9
On and after the Effective Date, each
Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire or dispose of property, and compromise or settle any Claims or Interests without supervision
or approval of the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or
Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan and the Confirmation
Order.
H. Restructuring Transactions Contemplated By the Plan
The Plan provides that on or prior to the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may undertake all actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to affect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or
necessary to effectuate the Plan, including without limitation, the Roll-Up Transactions. The
Roll-Up Transactions include: a dissolution or winding up of the corporate existence of a
Reorganized Debtor under applicable state law; or the consolidation, merger, contribution of
assets, or other transaction in which a Reorganized Debtor merges with or transfers substantially
all of its assets and liabilities to another Reorganized Debtor or one or more of their Affiliates,
on or after the Effective Date as defined below.
I. Permanent Injunction
From and after the Effective Date, all Persons and Entities are permanently enjoined from
commencing or continuing in any manner, any suit, action, or other proceeding, on account of or
respecting any Claim, obligation, debt, right, Cause of Action, remedy, or liability discharged,
exculpated, released, or to be released pursuant to Article X of the Plan.
J. Consummation of the Plan
Following Confirmation of the Plan, the Plan will be consummated on the date (the Effective
Date) selected by the Debtors, which is a Business Day after the Confirmation Date on which (a) no
stay of the Confirmation Order is in effect, and (b) all conditions to Consummation of the Plan
have been satisfied or waived. Distributions to be made under the Plan will be made on or as soon
as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date.
K. Liquidation and Valuation Analyses
The Debtors believe that the Plan will produce a greater recovery for Holders of Allowed
Claims than would be achieved in a Chapter 7 liquidation because, among other things, of the
administrative and postpetition claims generated by a conversion to a Chapter 7 case, plus the
administrative costs of liquidation and associated delays in connection with a Chapter 7
liquidation that likely would diminish the assets available for distribution to such Holders.
Also, the value of the equity in the Reorganized Debtors upon the Debtors exit from bankruptcy as
a reorganized going-concern is projected to be greater than the proceeds realized from a
liquidation of the Debtors assets. In fact, the projected hypothetical liquidation of the Debtors
would result in a recovery for Holders of Unsecured Claims far less than that proposed under the
Plan, if any at all. Rothschild, Inc., the Debtors financial advisors (Rothschild), and Huron
Consulting Group (Huron), the Debtors restructuring consultants, have prepared, respectively, a
Valuation Analysis and a Liquidation Analysis on behalf of the Debtors to assist Holders of Claims
in determining whether to accept or reject the Plan. These Liquidation and Valuation Analyses
together compare the proceeds to be realized if the Debtors were to be liquidated in a case under
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code with their recovery under the Plan as currently proposed. The
analyses are based upon the book value of the Debtors assets and liabilities as of a date certain,
and incorporate estimates and assumptions developed by the Debtors, including a hypothetical
conversion to a Chapter 7 liquidation as of a date certain, that are subject to potentially
material changes with respect to economic
10
and business conditions and legal rulings. Therefore, the actual liquidation value of the
Debtors could vary materially from the estimates provided therein.
L. Certain Factors to Be Considered Prior to Voting
There are a variety of factors that all Holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan should
consider prior to accepting or rejecting the Plan. Some of these factors, which are described in
more detail in ARTICLE VI hereof, are as follows and may impact recoveries under the Plan:
1. The financial information contained in this Disclosure Statement has not been audited
(except for the financial statements included in the Plan Supplement that indicate as such) and is
based on an analysis of data available at the time of the preparation of the Plan and Disclosure
Statement.
2. ARTICLE VII hereof describes certain significant federal tax consequences of the
transactions contemplated by the Plan that affect the Debtors and others. Such consequences may
include: (i) the realization of cancellation of indebtedness income; (ii) the reduction of net
operating loss carryforwards and unrealized built-in losses; and (iii) the recognition of taxable
income by the Holders of Claims and Interests. ARTICLE VII also discusses certain restrictions
under the Plan and the UAL restated certificate of incorporation on transfer of New UAL Common
Stock to preserve the Debtors net operating losses. Holders of Claims and Interests are urged to
consult with their own tax advisors regarding the federal, state, local, and foreign tax
consequences of the Plan.
3. Although the Debtors believe that the Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors cannot assure such compliance or that the Bankruptcy Court will
confirm the Plan.
4. The Debtors may be required to request Confirmation of the Plan without the acceptance of
all Impaired Classes entitled to vote, in accordance with Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.
5. Any delays of either Confirmation or the Effective Date of the Plan could result in, among
other things, increased Claims of Professionals.
6. The Plan contemplates substantive consolidation of all Debtors other than UAL into United.
The Debtors can provide no assurance, however, that the Bankruptcy Court will order substantive
consolidation of any or all of the United Debtors. The Debtors reserve the right, however, to
request Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan, even if the Court rejects substantive
consolidation of the United Debtors, or approves substantive consolidation of less than all of the
United Debtors. Failure to substantively consolidate the United Debtors into one entity will not
affect the distribution of property currently proposed in the Plan. In the event that one or more
of the United Debtors are not substantively consolidated, such failure will not affect the validity
of the vote taken by Impaired Classes to accept or reject the Plan or require any sort of re-vote
or re-solicitation of the Impaired Classes.
The occurrence or non-occurrence of any or all such contingencies, which could affect
distributions available to Holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan, will not affect the validity
of the vote taken by the Impaired Classes to accept or reject the Plan or require a re-vote by the
Impaired Classes.

2. The Debtors Business
a. Introduction
United is one of the largest scheduled passenger airlines in the world. In 2004, United flew
approximately 115 billion mainline revenue passenger miles and carried approximately 71 million
passengers on more than 1,500 daily departures to more than 120 destinations in 26 countries and
two U.S. territories. Operating revenues attributed to the North American segment were $10.5
billion in 2004, $10.0 billion in 2003 and $10.4 billion in 2002. Operating revenues attributed to
international segments were $5.1 billion in 2004, $4.2 billion in 2003, and $4.7 billion in 2002.
Through the first six months of 2005, operating revenues were $8.3 billion. Operating revenues for
the first six months of 2005 attributable to the North American segment were $5.1 billion. $2.8
billion is attributable to international segments.6 In 2004, United added a new low-fare
brand, called Ted, designed to serve select leisure markets to more effectively compete with
low-fare carriers.
The Debtors have entered into a number of bilateral and multilateral alliances with other
airlines to provide their customers more choices and to participate in markets worldwide that the
Debtors do not serve directly. These collaborative marketing arrangements typically include one or
more of the following features: joint frequent flyer participation; code sharing of flight
operations (whereby one carriers flights can be marketed under the two-letter airline designator
code of another carrier); coordination of reservations, baggage handling, and flight schedules; and
other resource-sharing activities.
The most significant of the Debtors alliances is Star Alliance. Star Alliance was co-founded
in 1997 by the Debtors as the first truly global airline alliance to offer customers global reach
and a smooth travel experience. The members are Air Canada, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines,
Austrian, bmi, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Spanair,
TAP Portugal, Thai Airways International, United, US Airways and VARIG Brazilian Airlines. Today,
the current member carriers offer more than 15,000 daily flights to 795 destinations in 139
countries.
Recently, Star Alliance was named the worlds best airline alliance by independent research
conducted by SkyTrax. This comes as part of the 2005 World Airline Awards and is also the second
time in three years that the alliance has been given this honor. Winning this award strengthens
Star Alliances commitment in further improving the travel experience for customers. Future growth
for Star Alliance includes the expansion of the network to approximately 846 destinations in 151
countries, through the future integration of South African Airways and SWISS in 2006. Lastly, the
Star Alliance continues to extend its product and customer advantages through initiatives such as
interline electronic ticketing links between all member carriers and co-location projects at key
airports such as the new Bangkok airport, London Heathrow, Paris Charles De Gaulle, and Tokyo
Narita.
Within North America, United also offers a network of connecting flights through its
contractual arrangements with regional U.S. carriers operating under the brand name United
Express. United

The remaining $0.4 billion is attributable to the
UAL Loyalty Services segment, as described below. |
15
Express offers one-stop check-in, advance seat assignments, and miles flown on
United Express receive full credit in the Mileage Plus frequent flyer program. United Express has approximately
2,000 scheduled daily departures to over 150 destinations. Together, United and United Express
serve more than 200 worldwide destinations and offer more than 3,400 daily departures. In 2004,
United added two additional United Express partners, Chautauqua Airlines and Shuttle America, to
Uniteds regional carrier network which includes Skywest Airlines, Air Wisconsin Airlines
Corporation (AWAC), Trans States Airlines (Trans State) and Mesa Airlines (Mesa). In August
2004, United terminated its partnership with Atlantic Coast Airlines (ACA), and in 2005 United
will be adding aircraft provided by GoJet, a sister company to Trans States. In 2006 United will
terminate its flying partnership with AWAC. In addition, United recently announced an agreement
with Colgan Air to start providing United Express service.
In February 2004, United launched the first phase of Ted in Denver to eight destinations.
Today, Ted provides service from all of Uniteds hubs to 14 destinations in the U.S. (including
Chicago Midway) and 2 in Mexico. Ted operates over 200 daily departures with a fleet of 47 Airbus
A320 aircraft. On March 3, 2005, United announced that it plans to expand its Ted fleet of
aircraft from 47 to 56 aircraft by converting nine mainline Airbus A320 aircraft to the Ted
configuration. The new Ted aircraft will provide additional service out of Teds hubs in Denver,
Washington Dulles, and Chicago OHare to markets in Florida, Mexico, the Caribbean and between
Phoenix and Los Angeles.
UAL reports its results through five reporting segments: North America, the Pacific, the
Atlantic, Latin America, and UAL Loyalty Services. Uniteds network provides comprehensive
transportation service within its North American segment and to international destinations within
its Pacific, Atlantic, and Latin American segments. Each of these reporting segments is described
in further detail below.
North America. As of December 31, 2004, United served approximately 86 destinations throughout
North America and operated hubs in Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington,
D.C. Uniteds North American operations, including United Express, accounted for 64% of the
Debtors operating revenues in 2004.
Pacific. United serves the Pacific from its U.S. gateway cities of Chicago, Honolulu, Los
Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. United provides nonstop service to Beijing, Hong
Kong, Nagaya, Osaka, Seoul, Shanghai, Sydney, and Tokyo. United also provides direct service to
Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Melbourne (Australia), Singapore, and Taipei. On March 26, 2005, United
launched service between San Francisco and Nagoya, Japan. In 2004, Uniteds Pacific operations
accounted for 16% of the Debtors operating revenues.
Atlantic. Washington, D.C. is Uniteds primary gateway to Europe, serving Amsterdam,
Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Munich, Zurich, and Paris. Chicago is Uniteds secondary gateway to
Europe, with nonstop service to and from Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, and Paris. United also
provides nonstop service between San Francisco and each of Paris, London, and Frankfurt, and
between London and each of Los Angeles and New York. Beginning in June 2005, United also began
service between Chicago and Munich. In addition, United provides seasonal service between Chicago
and Bermuda. In 2004, Uniteds Atlantic operations accounted for 12% of the Debtors operating
revenues.
Latin America. United serves Latin America from its five hubs and provides nonstop service to
Aruba, Buenos Aires, Cancun, Cozumel, Guatemala City, Mexico City, Montego Bay, Puerto Vallarta,
Punta Cana, San Jose (Costa Rica), San Jose Del Cabo, San Juan (Puerto Rico), San Salvador, Sao
Paulo, St. Maarten, St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands), and Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa. United also provides
direct service to Rio de Janeiro (via Sao Paulo) and Montevideo (via Buenos Aires). In 2004,
Uniteds Latin American operations accounted for almost 3% of the Debtors operating revenues.
16
UAL Loyalty Services. For financial reporting purposes, the UAL Loyalty Services segment
relates to the Debtors non-core marketing businesses (and relates to operations provided by UAL
Loyalty Services, LLC, MyPoints.com, Inc., and Ameniti Travel Clubs, Inc.). This segment operates
substantially all United-branded travel distribution and customer loyalty e-commerce activities,
such as united.com. In addition, this segment includes certain aspects of the Mileage Plus
frequent flyer program, including sales of miles, member relationships, communications, and account
management. This segment also includes certain other United-branded customer programs as well as
the MyPoints.com online loyalty program, under which registered consumers earn points for goods and
services purchased from participating vendors.
b. Operations
The air travel business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Debtors operations can be
adversely impacted by severe weather. In addition, the Debtors first- and fourth-quarter results
normally reflect reduced travel demand. Historically, operating results are better in the second
and third quarters. From 2001 to 2003, however, the typical seasonal relationships were distorted
by the events of September 11, 2001, the fear of terrorism, the Iraq war, the outbreak of Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome, fluctuations in fuel prices, and general economic conditions. The
Debtors experienced a more typical seasonal pattern of financial results in 2004 and to date in
2005.
In addition to the Debtors global passenger services, there are several other important
components of the Debtors operations.
United Express. The Debtors hub and spoke business model calls for the transportation of
large numbers of passengers on generally long-haul flights using larger-capacity aircraft, but it
is not profitable for the Debtors mainline fleet to fly everywhere. As a result, the Debtors
mainline flights are supplemented by flights transporting small numbers of passengers on generally
short-haul flights using small aircraft. Generally, these feeder flights are outsourced to
regional air carriers. These regional carriers fly regional jet and turbo-prop aircraft owned by
the regional carrier but operating under Uniteds reservation code and under the brand name United
Express. Passengers flying in United Express aircraft make reservations and purchase tickets
through United (with all revenue accruing to United), and United subsequently pays the regional
carrier a fee. The fee has two components: reimbursement of the carriers costs per flight between
specified city pairs; and a variable portion based on the carriers monthly operating performance
against certain objective standards.
United Cargo. United Cargo offers both domestic and international shipping through a variety
of services including Small Package Delivery, T.D. Guaranteed®, First Freight,
International Freight, and Global SP. Freight accounts for approximately 77% of United Cargos
shipments, with mail accounting for the remaining 23%. During 2004, United Cargo accounted for 4%
of the Debtors revenues by generating over $704 million in freight and mail revenue, a 12%
increase versus 2003. Since United Cargo is not a separate reporting segment, cargo revenues are
allocated to the North America, Pacific, Atlantic and Latin America reporting segments of the
Debtors. The majority of United Cargo revenues are earned in the international segments of the
Debtors operations.

The price and availability of jet fuel significantly affects the Debtors operations. In
addition to being at high levels, oil prices continue to see large swings in both intra-day trading
and over time. This phenomenon is well-illustrated by the fact that oil prices rose to historic
highs in mid-October 2004, fell by several dollars during December 2004, and then steadily built up
again to hit new record highs in August 2005. The prices of crude oil and jet fuel have both
recently been at all-time highs, reaching, for example, $68.94 per barrel of crude oil and $2.323
per gallon of jet fuel on August 31, 2005. Moreover, every $1.00 increase in the price of a barrel
of oil increases the Debtors annual fuel expenses by approximately $60 million. The lack of
useable excess supply to meet demand, coupled with speculation by investors in the commodities
futures markets, have been key components of this volatility.
A significant rise in crude oil prices was the primary reason that the Debtors fuel expense
increased $871 million in 2004 over the Debtors 2003 fuel costs and that operating expenses
attributable to aircraft fuel costs were 36 percent higher in the first half of 2005 than in the
first half of 2004. Due to the highly competitive nature of the airline industry, the Debtors
ability to pass on increased fuel costs to their customers in the form of higher ticket prices has
been limited.
To ensure adequate supplies of fuel and to provide a measure of control over fuel costs, the
Debtors arrange to have fuel shipped on major pipelines and store fuel close to their major hub
locations. Although the Debtors do not currently anticipate a significant reduction in the
availability of jet fuel, a number of factors make predicting fuel prices and fuel availability
difficult, including increased world demand due to the improving global economy, geopolitical
uncertainties in oil-producing nations, threats of terrorism directed at oil supply infrastructure,
and changes in relative demand for other petroleum products that may impact the quantity and price
of jet fuel produced from period to period.
On September 19, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court approved a Jet Fuel Supply Agreement (the Fuel
Supply Agreement) with Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (Morgan Stanley). Under the Fuel
Supply Agreement, Morgan Stanley will supply jet fuel to the Debtors and maintain minimum levels of
fuel inventory for the Debtors at various airports for a term of three years, with a two-year
renewal period. In connection with this arrangement, Morgan Stanley has subleased certain of the
Debtors terminaling and throughput agreements for storage of jet fuel at the airports. The
Debtors have also assigned to Morgan Stanley certain third-party sale agreements, bulk supply
agreements, and local supply agreements. In addition, the Debtors transferred their historic
capacity on common carrier pipelines to Morgan Stanley pursuant to an agency agreement. This
arrangement allows the Debtors to meet their jet fuel needs, while lowering their working capital
requirements for fuel.
During the second quarter of 2004, the Debtors began to implement a strategy to hedge a
portion of their price risk related to projected jet fuel requirements, primarily using collar
options which involved the purchase of fuel call options with the simultaneous sale of fuel put
options with identical expiration dates. As of June 30, 2005, the Debtors had hedged approximately
8% of their remaining 2005 projected fuel requirements at an average price of $1.24 per gallon,
excluding taxes. The Debtors currently have hedges in place through December 31, 2005. The fair market value of the Debtors designated
hedge position was approximately $21 million as of June 30, 2005 and is included in other
comprehensive
18
income. The Debtors expect that this entire amount, to the extent it remains
effective, will be recognized into earnings within the next six months as a reduction to fuel
expense. The Debtors plan to continue to hedge future fuel purchases as circumstances and market
conditions allow.
Insurance. United carries hull and liability insurance of a type customary in the air
transportation industry, in amounts deemed adequate, covering passenger liability, public
liability, and damage to aircraft and other physical property. Since the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks, Uniteds premiums have increased significantly. Additionally, after September
11, 2001, commercial insurers cancelled Uniteds liability insurance for losses resulting from war
and associated perils (terrorism, sabotage, hijacking, and other similar events), but United
obtained replacement coverage through the federal government.
The Homeland Security Act, which became effective in February 2003, mandated the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide third-party, passenger and hull war-risk insurance to
commercial air carriers through August 31, 2003, and permitted such coverage to be extended to
December 31, 2004. The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2005, signed into law on December 8, 2004,
extended this war risk insurance to commercial air carriers through August 31, 2005, which was
subsequently extended until December 31, 2005. Should the government discontinue this coverage,
obtaining comparable coverage from commercial underwriters could result in substantially higher
premiums and more restrictive terms, if it is available at all.
United also maintains other types of insurance such as property, directors and officers,
cargo, automobile, and the like, with limits and deductibles that are standard within the industry.
These premiums also have risen substantially since September 11, 2001.
c. Competition
The domestic airline industry is highly competitive and volatile. In domestic markets, new
and existing carriers deemed fit by the Department of Transportation (the DOT) are free to
initiate service between any two points in the U.S. Uniteds domestic competitors are primarily
the other U.S. airlines, a number of which are low-fare carriers, commonly known as LCCs, which
have significantly lower cost structures than Uniteds, and, to a lesser extent, other forms of
transportation.
United faces significantly more domestic competition now than it did in the past. This
increase is largely attributable to the growth of LCCs, whose share of domestic passengers is now
over 30 percent. Accordingly, in excess of 75 percent of Uniteds domestic revenue is now exposed
to LCCs, which is double the percentage from a decade ago. United anticipates that competition
from LCCs and other U.S. airlines will continue to intensify in the future.
Domestic pricing decisions are largely affected by the need to meet competition from other
U.S. airlines. Fare discounting by competitors historically has had a negative effect on Uniteds
financial results because United generally finds it necessary to match competitors fares to
maintain passenger traffic. Periodic attempts by United and other network airlines to raise fares
have often failed due to lack of competitive matching by LCCs. Because of vastly different cost
structures, low-ticket prices that generate a profit for an LCC usually have a negative effect on
Uniteds financial results. The introduction of Ted by United in early 2004 is designed to provide
United with a lower-cost operation in selected leisure markets, under which United can be more
economically competitive with its LCC rivals.
In its international networks, United competes not only with U.S. airlines but also with
foreign carriers. Uniteds competition on specified international routes is subject to varying
degrees of governmental regulations (see Industry Regulation below). As the U.S. is the largest
market for air
19
travel worldwide, Uniteds ability to generate U.S. originating traffic from its
integrated domestic route systems provides United with an advantage over non-U.S. carriers.
Foreign carriers are prohibited by U.S. law from carrying local passengers between two points in
the U.S., and United experiences comparable restrictions in foreign countries. In addition, U.S.
carriers are often constrained from carrying passengers to points beyond designated international
gateway cities due to limitations in air service agreements or restrictions imposed unilaterally by
foreign governments. To compensate for these structural limitations, U.S. and foreign carriers
have entered into alliances and marketing arrangements that allow the carriers to feed traffic to
each others flights.
d. Industry Regulation
Domestic Regulation. All carriers engaged in air transportation in the U.S. are subject to
regulation by the DOT. Among its responsibilities, the DOT has authority to issue certificates of
public convenience and necessity for domestic air transportation (and no air carrier, unless
exempted, may provide air transportation without a DOT certificate of public convenience and
necessity), grant international route authorities, approve international code share agreements,
regulate methods of competition, and enforce certain consumer protection regulations, such as those
dealing with advertising, denied boarding compensation and baggage liability. United operates
under a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the DOT. This certificate may be
altered, amended, modified, or suspended by the DOT if public convenience and necessity so require,
or may be revoked for intentional failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the
certificate.
Airlines are also regulated by the FAA, a division of the DOT, primarily in the areas of
flight operations, maintenance, and other safety and technical matters. The FAA has authority to
issue air carrier operating certificates and aircraft airworthiness certificates, prescribe
maintenance procedures, and regulate pilot and other employee training, among other
responsibilities. From time to time, the FAA issues rules that require air carriers to take
certain actions, such as the inspection or modification of aircraft and other equipment, that may
cause United to incur substantial, unplanned expenses. United is also subject to inquiries by
these and other U.S. and international regulatory bodies.
The airline industry is also subject to various other federal, state, and local laws and
regulations. The Department of Homeland Security has jurisdiction over virtually all aspects of
civil aviation security. See Recent Domestic Legislation below. The Department of Justice has
jurisdiction over certain airline competition matters. The U.S. Postal Service has authority over
certain aspects of the transportation of mail. Labor relations in the airline industry are
generally governed by the Railway Labor Act.
In addition, access to landing and take-off rights, or slots, at three major U.S. airports
and certain foreign airports served by United are subject to government regulation. The FAA has
designated John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and LaGuardia Airport (La Guardia) in
New York, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C., as high density
traffic airports and has limited the number of departure and arrival slots at those airports.
Slot restrictions at OHare International Airport in Chicago (OHare) were eliminated in July
2002 and are slated to be eliminated at JFK and LaGuardia by 2007. From time to time, the
elimination of slot restrictions has impacted Uniteds operational performance and reliability. To
address congestion concerns and delays at OHare, United and American Airlines reached an agreement
with the FAA in January 2004 to reduce each of their flight schedules at OHare. Furthermore,
United reduced its schedule at OHare beginning February 2004 between the peak hours of 1:00 p.m.
and 8:00 p.m. In addition, effective March 2004, United again
depeaked its flight schedule by 5%. Subsequently, United, American Airlines, and certain
other carriers complied with the FAAs request to further depeak afternoon operations at OHare
resulting in a slight reduction in operations overall beginning in November 2004. On July 18, 2005
the FAA issued an order to show cause why the current operating restrictions at OHare should not
remain in place through April,
20
2006. The FAA has initiated a formal rulemaking process to address
OHare congestion after April, 2006.
Recent Domestic Legislation. Since September 11, 2001, aviation security has been and
continues to be a subject of frequent legislative action, requiring changes to Uniteds security
processes and increasing the economic cost of security procedures at United. The Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (the Aviation Security Act), enacted in November 2001, has had
wide-ranging effects on Uniteds operations. The Aviation Security Act makes the federal
government responsible for virtually all aspects of civil aviation security, creating a new
Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which is a part of the Department of Homeland
Security pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Under the Aviation Security Act,
substantially all security screeners at airports are now federal employees and significant other
aspects of airline and airport security are now overseen by the TSA. Pursuant to the Aviation
Security Act, funding for airline and airport security is provided in part by a passenger security
fee of $2.50 per flight segment (capped at $10.00 per round trip), which is collected by the air
carriers and remitted to the government. In addition, air carriers are required to submit to the
government an additional security fee equal to the amount the air carrier paid for screening
passengers and property in 2000.
On April 16, 2003, the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act was signed into law.
The legislation included approximately $3 billion of direct compensation for U.S. airlines. Of the
total, $2.4 billion compensates air carriers for lost revenues and costs related to aviation
security. Additionally, passenger and air carrier security fees were suspended from June 1 through
September 30, 2003, and government-provided war risk insurance was extended for one year to August
2004. The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2005, signed into law on December 8, 2004, extended this
war risk insurance to commercial air carriers through August 31, 2005, which was subsequently
extended until December 31, 2005. It is expected that aviation security laws and processes will
continue to be under review and subject to change by the federal government in the future.
International Regulation. International air transportation is subject to extensive government
regulation. In connection with Uniteds international services, it is regulated by both the U.S.
government and the governments of the foreign countries it serves. In addition, the availability
of international routes to U.S. carriers is regulated by treaties and related aviation agreements
between the U.S. and foreign governments, and in some cases, fares and schedules require the
approval of the DOT and/or the relevant foreign governments.
Historically, access to foreign markets has been tightly controlled through bilateral
agreements between the U.S. and the relevant foreign country. These agreements regulate the number
of markets served, the number of carriers allowed to serve the market, and the frequency of their
flights. Since the early 1990s, the U.S. has pursued a policy of Open Skies (meaning all
carriers have access to the destination), under which the U.S. government has negotiated a number
of bilateral agreements allowing unrestricted access to foreign markets.
Further, Uniteds ability to serve some countries and expand into certain others is limited by
the absence altogether of aviation agreements between the U.S. and the relevant governments.
Shifts in U.S. or foreign government aviation policies can lead to the alteration or termination of
air service agreements between the U.S. and other countries. Depending on the nature of the
change, the value of Uniteds route authorities may be enhanced or diminished.
The U.S. and the European Commission are continuing their attempts to negotiate a single air
services agreement to replace the existing bilateral agreements between the U.S. and the European
Union (EU) member states. The European Commission has called upon the EU member states to
renounce the
21
air services agreements with the U.S. because they allegedly do not comply with EU
law. To date, no EU member state has indicated a willingness to renounce its air services
agreement with the U.S. If EU member states do renounce such agreements, the status of Uniteds
existing antitrust immunity with its European partners would be in doubt because the immunity is
based upon an open skies agreement between the U.S. and the applicable EU member states.
In late 2004, the European Commission commenced a consultation process that seeks stakeholder
input on the introduction of market-based mechanisms for slot allocation at EU airports. The
Commission proposes to introduce a highly regulated form of secondary slot trading. The
availability of such slots is not assured and the inability of United to obtain or retain needed
slots could inhibit its efforts to compete in certain international markets.
Environmental Regulations. The airline industry is subject to increasingly stringent federal,
state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations concerning emissions to the air,
discharges to surface and subsurface waters, safe drinking water, and the management of hazardous
substances, oils, and waste materials. The airline industry is also subject to other environmental
laws and regulations, including those that require the Debtors to remediate soil or groundwater to
meet certain objectives. It is the Debtors policy to comply with all environmental laws and
regulations, which often require expenditures. Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (sometimes commonly known as Superfund) and similar
environmental cleanup laws, waste generators, and owners or facility operators, including the
Debtors, can be subject to liability for investigation and remediation costs at facilities that
have been identified as requiring response actions. The Debtors also conduct voluntary remediation
actions. Such cleanup obligations arise from, among other circumstances, the operation of fueling
facilities and primarily involve airport sites.
Two other regulatory programs that will require an expenditure of capital costs in the next
few years are: (1) petroleum storage upgrades required to comply with recent changes to the Spill
Prevention Countermeasures and Control law; and (2) new California regulations and/or an
industry-wide voluntary agreement, reducing air emissions from ground support equipment utilized in
California.
The Debtors are subject to known and potential environmental cleanup Claims and obligations at
current and former operating locations. Such Claims and obligations arose from, among other
circumstances, past discharges from fueling facilities. Among known Claims, there is litigation
among United, American Airlines, and other companies concerning the responsibility for payment of
certain cleanup costs for groundwater and soil contamination at JFK. The litigation is currently
stayed because of the Chapter 11 Cases, and may be addressed through adjudication by the Bankruptcy
Court. In addition, in accordance with a June 1999 order issued by the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board (CRWQCB), United, along with most of the other tenants of the San Francisco
International Airport, has been investigating potential environmental contamination at the airport
and conducting certain remediation. Among these projects is investigation and remediation at
Uniteds San Francisco Maintenance Center. This project is being conducted in accordance with
CRWQCB approvals. In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time the Debtors become
aware of potential non-compliance with environmental regulations that have been identified either
by the Debtors (through their internal environmental compliance auditing program) or by a
governmental entity. In some instances, these matters could potentially become the subject of an
administrative or judicial proceeding and could potentially involve material monetary penalties of
$100,000 or more.
e. Employees
As of June 30, 2005, the Debtors had approximately 59,000 active employees, of which
approximately 80% are represented by various labor organizations.

Negotiating
Initial Contract |
Collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) are negotiated under the Railway Labor Act, which
governs labor relations in the transportation industry, and typically do not contain an expiration
date. Instead, they specify an amendable date, upon which the CBA is considered open for
amendment. Prior to the amendable date, neither party is required to agree to modifications to
the CBA. Nevertheless, nothing prevents the parties from agreeing to start negotiations or to
modify the CBA in advance of the amendable date. Contracts remain in effect while new CBAs are
negotiated. During the negotiating period, both the Debtors and the negotiating union are required
to maintain the status quo.
For additional information about the Debtors business operations, please refer to UALs
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and UALs Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ending March 31, 2005 and the second quarter ending June 30,
2005 and any other recent UAL Annual and Quarterly Report. These filings are available by visiting
the Securities and Exchange Commissions website at http://www.sec.gov or the Debtors website at
http://www.ual.com.
B. Existing Capital Structure of the Debtors
1. UAL
a. Aircraft-Related Guarantees
In connection with Uniteds financing of 22 Boeing 757s and one Boeing 737 through U.S.
leveraged leases (USLLs), UAL guaranteed Uniteds obligations. Also, in connection with UALs
acquisition of Air Wisconsin in 1992, UAL guaranteed Air Wisconsins obligations for nine regional
aircraft. The aggregate amount of asserted Claims based on such guarantees is approximately $828
million. The Debtors, however, anticipate that the aggregate amount of such Claims that will be
allowed will be less and the Debtors reserve all rights with respect to such Claims.
b. Serial Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2004, UAL had outstanding 3,203,177 depositary shares, each representing
1/1000 of one share of Series B 121/4% preferred stock (the Old Series B
Preferred Stock or an Old Series B Preferred Share), with a liquidation preference of $25 per
depositary share ($25,000 per Old Series B Preferred Share) and a stated capital of $0.01 per Old
Series B Preferred Share. Under its terms, any portion of the Old Series B Preferred Stock or the
depositary shares is redeemable for cash after July
23
11, 2004, at UALs option, at the equivalent of
$25 per depositary share, plus accrued dividends. The Old Series B Preferred Stock is not
convertible into any other securities, has no stated maturity and is not subject to mandatory
redemption.
The Old Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to all other preferred and common stock
outstanding, except the TOPrS Preferred Securities, as to receipt of dividends and amounts
distributed upon liquidation. The Old Series B Preferred Stock has voting rights only to the extent
required by law and with respect to charter amendments that adversely affect the preferred stock or
the creation or issuance of any security-ranking senior to the preferred stock.
On September 30, 2002, UAL announced that it was suspending the payment of dividends on the
Old Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the Chapter 11 filing, UAL is no longer accruing
dividends on the Old Series B Preferred Stock. The amount of dividends in arrears is approximately
$27 million as of June 30, 2005.
c. ESOP and Employee/Independent Director Preferred Stock
In July 1994, the stockholders of UAL approved a plan of recapitalization that provided an
approximately 55% equity and voting interest in UAL to certain employees of United, in exchange for
wage concessions and work-rule changes. As part of the recapitalization, UALs stockholders also
approved an elaborate governance structure, which was set forth principally in UALs prior restated
certificate of incorporation (the Old UAL Charter) and the employee stock ownership plans (the
ESOPs). Among other matters, the revised governance structure provided that UALs board of
directors (the Old UAL Board) was to consist of five public directors, four independent
directors, and three employee directors.
Under the ESOPs, an aggregate of 17,675,345 shares of Old Class 1 and Class 2 Preferred Stock
were allocated to individual employee accounts from 1994 to 2000. The Old Class 1 and Class 2
Preferred Stock represented the employees equity interest in UAL. Each share of Old Class 1 and
Class 2 Preferred Stock was convertible into four shares of Old UAL Common Stock. Because the
shares of Old Class 1 and Class 2 Preferred Stock were convertible into shares of freely tradable
Old UAL Common Stock, Old Class P, M, and S Preferred Stocks (the Voting Preferred Stock) were
established to provide a fixed level of voting power to the ALPA, IAM, and SAM employee groups
participating in the ESOPs. In the aggregate, 17,675,345 shares of Voting Preferred Stock were
issued from 1994 to 2000. The Voting Preferred Stock had a par value and liquidation preference of
$0.01 per share. The stock was not entitled to receive any dividends and was convertible into .0004 shares of Old UAL Common Stock.
To effectuate the election of independent and employee directors to the Old UAL Board, the Old
Class Pilot, Old Class IAM, Old Class SAM, and Old Class I Junior Preferred Stocks (collectively
the Director Preferred Stocks) were established. One share each of Old Class Pilot and Old Class
IAM Preferred Stock was authorized and issued, respectively, to the United Airlines master
executive councils of ALPA and IAM 141. Three shares of Old Class SAM Preferred Stock and four
shares of Old Class I
Junior Preferred Stock were issued on December 31, 2002 to the persons designated by the SAMs
pursuant to the terms of a stockholders agreement and to UALs independent directors respectively.
Each of the Director Preferred Stocks has a par value and liquidation preference of $0.01 per
share. The Holders of the Old Class Pilot Preferred Stock, the Old Class IAM Preferred Stock, and
the Old Class SAM Preferred Stock are each entitled to vote as a separate class to elect one
director to the Old UAL Board. The Director Preferred Stocks are not entitled to receive any
dividends and are non-transferable.
24
The Voting Preferred Stock represented approximately 55% of the aggregate voting power until
Sunset, even though the Old UAL Common Stock issuable upon conversion from time to time
represented more or less than 55% of the fully diluted Old UAL Common Stock. Sunset occurred when
the Old UAL Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Old Class 1 and Class 2 Preferred Stock, plus
(i) all other Old UAL Common Stock held by all other Debtor-sponsored employee benefit plans and
(ii) all available unissued Old Class 1 and Class 2 Preferred Stock held in the ESOPs, in the
aggregate, fell to below 20% of the aggregate number of shares of common equity and all available
unissued Old Class 1 and Class 2 Preferred Stock of UAL. As a result of certain sales of Old UAL
Common Stock by State Street Bank & Trust (State Street), an independent fiduciary for the ESOPs,
employee ownership was reduced to less than 20% on March 7, 2003, thus triggering Sunset.
Upon the occurrence of Sunset, the 55% voting power of the ESOPs represented by the Voting
Preferred Stock was reduced to the actual percentage represented by the outstanding Old Class 1 and
Class 2 Preferred Stock held by the ESOPs on an as-converted basis. In addition, the provisions in
the Old UAL Charter with respect to the following matters became inoperative: (i) the
qualification, nomination, and vacancy of public and independent directors; (ii) the special
super-majority voting provisions relating to, among others, charter amendments, change of control,
sales of assets, dissolution, and labor-related business transactions; and (iii) the memberships,
functions, and powers of various committees. Concurrently with Sunset, all shares of the Old Class
I Preferred Stock were redeemed automatically. As a result of the foregoing changes, the Old UAL
Board was comprised of: (a) nine Directors to be elected by the Holders of the outstanding Old UAL
Common Stock, (b) one director to be elected by ALPA, (c) one director to be elected by IAM, and
(d) one Director to be elected by the SAMs.
On June 26, 2003, the ESOP was terminated following the publication of a regulation by the
Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) that would permit the distribution of the remaining ESOP
shares to plan participants without jeopardizing UALs ability to utilize its net operating losses.
On June 28, 2004, all remaining ESOP shares were converted to Old UAL Common Stock and either
distributed to participants at their request or rolled over to an account in their name.
d. UAL Common Stock
As of June 30, 2005, UAL had 116,220,959 shares of Old UAL Common Stock outstanding.
e. TOPrS
In December 1996, UAL Corporation Capital Trust I (the TOPrS Trust) completed a voluntary
exchange offer to exchange its 131/4% Trust Originated Preferred Securities
(the TOPrS Preferred Securities) for any and all outstanding depositary shares, each representing
1/1000 of one share of Series B 121/4% preferred stock. After the expiration
of the exchange offer, the TOPrS Trust issued $75 million of TOPrS Preferred Securities in exchange
for the 2,999,304 depository shares that were tendered in the exchange. Along with the issuance of
the TOPrS Preferred Securities and the related purchase by UAL of the TOPrS Trusts common
securities, UAL issued to the TOPrS Trust $77 million aggregate principal
amount of its 131/4% Junior Subordinated Debentures (the TOPrS
Debentures) due 2026. The TOPrS Debentures are the sole assets of the TOPrS Trust. The interest
and other payment dates on the TOPrS Debentures correspond to the distribution and other payment
dates on the TOPrS Preferred Securities. Pursuant to the operative agreements of the TOPrS Trust,
upon maturity or redemption of the TOPrS Debentures, the TOPrS Preferred Securities are to be
redeemed on a mandatory basis. The TOPrS Debentures were redeemable at UALs option, in whole or
in part, on or after July 12, 2004, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to
be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Upon the repayment of the
TOPrS Debentures, the proceeds thereof are to be applied to redeem the TOPrS Preferred Securities.
The payment of the principal and interest on the
25
TOPrS Debentures is subordinate and junior to all
indebtedness of UAL (unless such indebtedness by its terms is subordinate in right of payment to or
pari passu with the TOPrS Debentures), but is senior to all capital stock.
Pursuant to the operative agreements of the TOPrS Trust, UAL has the right to defer payments
of interest on the TOPrS Debentures by extending the interest payment period, at any time, for up
to 20 consecutive quarters. If interest payments on the TOPrS Debentures are so deferred,
distributions on the TOPrS Preferred Securities also will be deferred. During any deferral,
distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon. In addition, during any such
deferral, UAL may not declare or pay any dividend or other distribution on, or redeem or purchase,
any of its capital stock. The payment of distributions out of moneys held by the TOPrS Trust is
guaranteed by UAL on a subordinated basis to the extent not paid by the TOPrS Trust but only to the
extent that UAL has made a payment to the trustee of principal and interest on the TOPrS Debentures
deposited in the TOPrS Trust as trust assets. UALs guaranty of the TOPrS Trusts obligations
under the TOPrS Preferred Securities constitutes an unsecured obligation of UAL that is subordinate
and junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of UAL (except obligations made pari passu
or subordinate by their terms) but is senior to all capital stock issued by UAL.
As a result of the Chapter 11 filing, UAL is no longer making interest payments on the TOPrS
Debentures. As a result, the TOPrS Trust no longer has the funds available to pay distributions on
the TOPrS Preferred Securities and stopped accruing and paying such dividends in October 2002.
2. United
a. Secured Aircraft Financing
As of the Petition Date, United operated a fleet of 567 aircraft, approximately 95 of which
had been unencumbered and thus became pledged to the Debtors debtor-in-possession financing
lenders (the DIP Lenders) to secure its debtor-in-possession credit facilities. 7 463
aircraft and related engines in Uniteds fleet (the Section 1110 Fleet) were leased or financed
and eligible for Section 1110 protection and consist of the following array of model types: 8

The 567 aircraft operated by United as of the
Petition Date do not include certain regional and other aircraft leased by
United to Air Wisconsin and Federal Express and certain aircraft parked as of
the Petition Date. |
|
8 |
|
The remaining nine aircraft in Uniteds fleet
are not subject to Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, as more fully described
herein, and thus not subject to the same restructuring process as the other
aircraft in the fleet. |
26
The Section 1110 Fleet was owned or leased by United pursuant to a broad variety of financing,
including, without limitation, mortgages, operating leases, capital leases, single investor leases,
leveraged leases, Japanese leveraged leases (JLLs), German leveraged leases (GLLs), and French
leveraged leases (FLLs). Out of the Section 1110 Fleet, 158 aircraft served as collateral for
issues of public debt, including certain pass-through certificates (PTCs), equipment trust
certificates (ETCs), and enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETCs). The balance of the
aircraft in the Section 1110 Fleet were financed or leased pursuant to private transactions. Of
these private transactions, 57 aircraft were financed through JLL, GLL, or FLL cross-border
financing arrangements, approximately 122 were financed by manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus,
General Electric, and Intlaero Leasing, and the remainder of the private transactions were financed
through U.S. leveraged leases or other leasing and secured debt techniques. As discussed more
fully below, the Debtors have downsized their Section 1110 Fleet and substantially reduced their
financing costs for their remaining aircraft through refinancing.
As of the Petition Date, an aggregate of approximately $7.0 billion in aircraft-related debt
was outstanding. Of that amount, the Debtors had approximately $3.1 billion of various
aircraft-backed mortgages outstanding (the Aircraft Mortgage Notes). There was an aggregate of
approximately $44 million of unpaid interest on the aircraft-backed mortgages as of the Petition
Date. In December 1997, July 2000, December 2000, and August 2001, the Debtors issued $674
million, $801 million, $1.51 billion, and $1.47 billion, respectively, of EETCs to refinance
certain owned aircraft and aircraft under operating leases which are also included in the
aircraft-related debt. There was an aggregate of approximately $70 million of unpaid interest on
the EETCs as of the Petition Date.
b. Senior Notes
United issued six series of unsecured notes due between 2003 and 2021 (the Unsecured
Debentures) pursuant to an indenture dated as of July 1, 1991, between United and The Bank of New
York, as trustee:

Each of the series of Unsecured Debentures is an unsecured and unsubordinated obligation
of United, which ranks pari passu with all existing senior unsecured indebtedness of United and
senior to subordinated indebtedness.
As a result of repurchases of Unsecured Debentures by United, there is currently approximately
$646 million principal amount outstanding of Unsecured Debentures not held by United, and as of the
Petition Date, there was an aggregate of $17.6 million of accrued and unpaid interest on the
Unsecured Debentures.

ARTICLE III.
THE CHAPTER 11 CASES
On December 9, 2002, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors continue to conduct their businesses and manage their properties as
Debtors in Possession pursuant to Sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. The following
is a general summary of the Chapter 11 Cases including, without limitation, the events preceding
the Chapter 11 filings, the stabilization of the Debtors operations following the Chapter 11
filings, the Debtors business plan, and the Debtors restructuring initiatives since the Chapter
11 filings.
A. Events Leading to the Chapter 11 Cases and Related Postpetition Events
The airline industry is highly competitive and labor intensive. Uniteds business is highly
sensitive to fuel costs, fare levels, and demand for travel. Passenger demand and fare levels are
influenced by, among other things, the state of the global economy, domestic and international
events, airline capacity, and pricing actions taken by carriers. Beginning in 2000, the slowing
economy and decrease in high-yield business travel, among other things, caused a significant
decline in Uniteds revenues. These declines were exacerbated by the continued increase of
internet-based ticket sales, price
transparency, and the resultant downward pricing pressure, as well as the increasing impact of
LCCs such as Southwest Airlines Co. and JetBlue Airways. At the same time, during this period,
labor costs steadily increased, reaching $7.0 billion in 2001, or 38.3% of operating expenses,
largely due to the CBA with the Debtors pilots, amended in 2000, market-based pay increases for
non-represented employees, and the expected wage increases associated with the then open CBAs with
machinists, ramp workers, public contact, and other employees. In 2002, the Debtors entered into
new CBAs with these employee groups that contained wage increases retroactive to mid-2000.
Consequently, Uniteds labor costs became the
31
highest in the industry. In addition, the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001, had a significant, negative impact on passenger and cargo demand for
air travel. Although these factors caused a sharp and sustained decline in revenues throughout the
airline industry, the Debtors, who historically have enjoyed a leading position among full-fare
business customers, were hit the hardest.
As a result, the Debtors passenger revenues plunged from $16.9 billion in 2000 to $11.9
billion for 2002. In response to these dramatically falling revenues, the Debtors mounted an
aggressive cost-cutting campaign, during which the Debtors reduced their daily flight schedule,
retired their oldest aircraft, reduced planned new aircraft deliveries, significantly reduced
planned non-aircraft capital spending, closed several unprofitable international stations,
converted six stations to United Express, cancelled or suspended a number of major airport
construction plans, closed five reservations centers, eliminated certain travel agency based
commissions, negotiated trade concessions, and significantly downsized their workforce.
In addition, the Debtors sought savings from their unionized workforce in an amount and of a
duration sufficient to ward off bankruptcy. Yet, despite these measures, the Debtors were unable
to obtain any meaningful out-of-court financing in the public or private capital markets.
Consequently, United depleted its cash reserves at an unprecedented rate. Uniteds operating cash
burn (i.e., the amount by which operating cash disbursements exceeds receipts) averaged more than
$10 million per day over the fourth quarter of 2001. The Debtors massive cost-cutting efforts
reduced this amount to $7 million per day by March 2002 and to less than $1 million per day during
the second quarter of 2002. However, a stalled recovery in July 2002 resulted in approximately $7
million of operating cash burn per day during the third quarter of 2002, decreasing slightly to
over $5 million a day by November 2002.
In June 2002, United approached the Air Transportation Stabilization Board (the ATSB) for a
$1.8 billion federal loan guarantee with a business plan contemplating capacity cuts, revenue
increases, and lower labor costs. On December 4, 2002, the ATSB decided not to approve Uniteds
proposal for a federal loan guarantee. Subsequent to the ATSBs decision and facing approximately
$875 million in debt maturities, on December 9, 2002, the Debtors filed petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Codethe best available means to facilitate the implementation of
necessary changes to their businesses and bring costs and operations in line with the current
business environment.
B. Stabilization of Operations
As of the Petition Date, all actions and proceedings against the Debtors and all acts to
obtain property from the Debtors were automatically stayed under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy
Code. To minimize disruption of the Debtors operations during the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors
filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Petition Date a number of first day motions requesting
authority to make certain payments, honor certain obligations, and assume certain contracts. Much
of this relief was granted by the Bankruptcy Court and has facilitated the administration of the
Chapter 11 Cases. Several of these motions and orders are described below, but these summaries are
not a substitute for a complete understanding of the underlying motions or the resulting orders.
You are urged to review the full text of all such motions and orders, which are available for your
review by visiting the Debtors private website at http://www.pd-ual.com.
1. Motion to Pay Employee Wages and Associated Benefits
The Debtors believe that their employees are their most valuable asset and that any delay in
paying prepetition or postpetition compensation or benefits to their employees would have destroyed
their relationship with employees and irreparably harmed employee morale at a time when dedication,
confidence, and cooperation of their employees was most critical. Therefore, the Debtors
requested, and
32
the Bankruptcy Court approved, authority to pay certain compensation and benefits
owed to employees. The authority allowed the Debtors to compensate their employees for certain
obligations payable as of the Petition Date, as well as certain obligations that came due after the
Petition Date.
2. Motion to Continue Using Existing Cash Management System, Bank Accounts, Business Forms,
and Investment Guidelines
The Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to continue using their domestic and international
cash management systems and their respective bank accounts, business forms, and investment
guidelines.
3. Motion to Continue Customer Programs
The Debtors believe that their existing customer programs, including the Mileage Plus Program,
vacation package program, barter arrangements program, Red Carpet Club program, corporate incentive
programs, cargo programs, and MyPoints.com programs, are vital to their efforts to maintain their
current customers through this difficult period and to position themselves to attract new
customers. The Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors request for authority to perform their
prepetition obligations relating to their customer programs and to continue, renew, replace, or
terminate such customer programs during the Chapter 11 Cases.
4. Motion for Authority to Prohibit Utilities from Terminating Service
On December 11, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order enjoining utility companies
from terminating service or requiring deposits in connection with any unpaid utility charges.
Although a group of utilities objected to the order, the Bankruptcy Court on March 27, 2003,
entered an order satisfying both the Debtors and the utilities by providing procedural safeguards
to the utilities, such as access to certain financial information of the Debtors and an expedited
dispute resolution process.
It should be noted that only a minority of the objecting utilities who were beneficiaries
of the March 27, 2003 order took advantage of receiving the Debtors financial information, and
some who originally did request it subsequently asked to no longer receive it. Also, no utility
has had occasion to invoke the expedited dispute resolution process since the date the order was
entered. Finally, the Debtors have continued to pay their utility invoices on time and, since the
utility activity described above, there have been no further motions filed by utilities seeking
payment.
5. Motion for Authority to Pay Sales and Use Taxes, Transportation Taxes, Fees, Passenger
Facility Charges, and Other Similar Government and Airport Charges
In connection with the normal operation of their businesses, the Debtors collect and pay
various taxes, fees, and charges. Specifically, the Debtors: (a) collect fuel taxes, value added
taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, customs fees, immigration fees, security fees, inspection fees,
and passenger facility charges from their customers on behalf of various taxing authorities; (b)
incur use, liquor, gross receipts, and fuel taxes which must be paid to various taxing authorities;
and (c) are charged fees, including, without limitation, the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee,
overflight fees and landing and other access fees, licenses, airport performance bond-related
obligations (excluding municipal bonds), and other similar
charges and assessments by various taxing and licensing authorities. These taxes, fees, and
charges are paid to the various taxing, licensing, and airport authorities (collectively, the
Authorities) on a periodic basis.
As of October 31, 2002, the Debtors owed over $268 million to the Authorities. If the Debtors
did not pay the various taxes and fees to the applicable Authorities in a timely manner, the
Authorities
33
might have suspended the Debtors business operations, filed Liens, sought to lift the
automatic stay, or pursued other remedies that would harm the Debtors Estates. As a result, the
Debtors moved for, and the Bankruptcy Court granted, the Debtors request for authority to pay
certain taxes, fees, and charges owed to the Authorities.
In addition, prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors established an escrow account to provide
greater assurance for the remittance of these fees and taxes. The escrow account was created
pursuant to an escrow agreement, dated November 29, 2002, by and between UAL and LaSalle Bank
National Association, as escrow agent. On December 5, 2002, UAL deposited $200 million into the
escrow account. Based on the importance of continuing to satisfy the obligations of the Debtors to
the various authorities described above, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors request to
assume the escrow agreement under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. As of September 7, 2005
there remains $200 million in the escrow account.
6. Motion for Authority to Pay in the Ordinary Course of Business Prepetition Claims of
Essential Trade Creditors
The Debtors purchase goods and services from certain domestic vendors who are not affiliated
with the Debtors. The Debtors obligations to these trade Creditors include, among others,
obligations owed to: (a) parts suppliers; (b) maintenance service providers; (c) essential amenity
providers; (d) flight training suppliers; (e) information service providers; (f) essential goods
providers; and (g) insurance providers. The future revenues and profits of the Debtors would
suffer if the Debtors relationships with these vendors were terminated. Many of these trade
Creditors are sole source suppliers without whom the Debtors could not operate. The Debtors
believed it was essential that they be allowed to pay selected trade Creditors in the ordinary
course of business to continue the Debtors operations and to honor their contractual commitments
to their customers. Upon the Debtors motion, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors the
authority to provisionally pay in the ordinary course of business Claims of essential trade
Creditors, up to an aggregate amount of $35 million. As of August 30, 2005, the Debtors have paid
approximately $528,000 in prepetition Claims of essential trade Creditors.
7. Motion for Authority to Pay Foreign Vendors, Service Providers, and Governments
The Debtors foreign routes are extremely valuable assets of their Estates. The Debtors
believed that if outstanding prepetition obligations owing to certain foreign vendors, service
providers, regulatory agencies, and governments (collectively, the Foreign Entities) were not
paid, the Foreign Entities would take actions that could severely disrupt the Debtors foreign
operations. On December 11, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to pay or honor
their prepetition obligations to the Foreign Entities.
8. Motion for Authority to Assume Certain Clearinghouse and Similar Agreements in the Ordinary
Course of Business
The airline business is an interdependent industry based upon a network of agreements that
govern virtually all aspects of air travel and airline operations. Among other things, these
agreements facilitate cooperation among airlines with respect to such critical activities as making
reservations and
transferring passengers, packages, baggage, and mail between airlines. Certain services under
these agreements, such as the clearinghouse functions and nationwide reservations services, are the
equivalent of industry-wide utility services for which there is no readily available alternative.
To preserve their essential relationships with their various tour operators, cargo agents,
travel agents, clearinghouses, other airlines with whom they have various interline agreements,
commercial
34
and/or code sharing relationships, and certain other business entities, the Debtors
moved for and the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors authority to assume their interline
agreements, clearinghouse agreements, billing and settlement plan agreements, cargo agreements, the
Universal Air Travel Plan agreement, and their agreements with respect to the Star Alliance
(collectively, the Clearinghouse Contracts). The Debtors also requested authority to continue
honoring, performing, and exercising their respective rights and obligations (whether prepetition
or postpetition) in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with, among others, the
Debtors code share agreements, express carrier agreements, global distribution systems agreements,
network agreements, travel agency agreements, booking and online fulfillment agreements, cargo
agency agreements, and Mileage Plus agreements (collectively, the Clearinghouse Obligations).
Because certain of the Clearinghouse Contracts and the Clearinghouse Obligations provide for an
ongoing mutual billing and settlement and adjustment process that necessarily entails continuing
submission of billings to the Debtors and continuing setoffs of obligations owed to and obligations
owed by the Debtors, the Debtors also requested that the Bankruptcy Court lift the automatic stay
to the extent necessary to enable the parties to participate in routine billings and settlements in
accordance with certain of the Clearinghouse Contracts.
9. Motion for Authority to (A) Apply Prepetition Payments to Postpetition Fuel Supply
Contracts and Pipeline and Storage Agreements, (B) Honor Other Fuel Supply, Pipeline, Storage,
Into-Plane Fuel Contracts and Other Fuel Service Arrangements, and (C) Continue Participation in
Fuel Consortia
As of the Petition Date, the Debtors purchased approximately 4.6 million barrels of jet fuel
per month to operate their aircraft. A ready fuel supply for the Debtors fleet of aircraft and,
consequently, an ability to perform under any of their fuel purchase, delivery, storage and other
service arrangements customary in the airline industry, is of critical importance to their
continued operations and successful reorganization.
Accordingly, the Debtors moved for and the Bankruptcy Court granted an order: (i) authorizing
certain of the Debtors fuel suppliers and pipeline and storage providers to credit postpetition
fuel lifting and pipeline and storage facility usage with any prepayment or other credits existing
prior to the Petition Date; (ii) authorizing the Debtors to honor, perform, and exercise their
rights and obligations (whether prepetition or postpetition) pursuant to certain of their fuel
supply contracts, pipeline and storage agreements, into-plane service contracts, and fuel consortia
arrangements; and (iii) authorizing the Debtors to continue participating in their fuel consortia
arrangements in the ordinary course of business.
10. Motion for Authority to Assume Credit Card Agreements
Credit card sales represent a substantial majority of the Debtors total gross sales receipts.
The Debtors have various agreements with credit card processors to collect and process credit card
receivables. Pursuant to these various agreements, the parties specify a discount rate that
reduces the amount of credit card receivables that are paid by processors to the Debtors. In
addition, the agreements may specify the amount of the reserve that the processors can maintain.
As the largest component of the Debtors revenues, credit card sales are an essential
component of the Debtors businesses. Accordingly, the Debtors moved for an order authorizing the
Debtors to
assume, as modified, contracts with certain of their credit card processors. Initially, the
Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to assume credit card processing agreements with: (i)
American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.; (ii) Novus Services, Inc.; (iii) Citibank
International plc; and (iv) Universal Air Travel Plan.
35
On December 30, 2002, National Processing Company LLP and National City Bank of Kentucky
(collectively, National City) objected to the assumption of their credit card contract with the
Debtors, claiming that the contract was a financial accommodation, and therefore not assumable
under the Bankruptcy Code; or, in the alternative, that the contract could not be assumed unless
the Debtors agreed to provide National City with adequate assurance of future performance. After
conducting a full hearing on the issues, the Bankruptcy Court disagreed with National Citys
arguments and held that the contract was assumable and that the Debtors could assume the contract
without providing any additional security. National City subsequently appealed the Bankruptcy
Courts decision to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (except
as otherwise noted, the District Court). Both the District Court and the United States Court of
Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the Seventh Circuit) subsequently affirmed the Bankruptcy
Courts decision.
11. Motions for Authority to Obtain Postpetition Financing
To maintain business relationships with vendors, suppliers, and customers, to address
liquidity concerns, and to satisfy other working capital needs prior to the commencement of the
Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors negotiated term sheets and commitment letters for two
Debtor-in-Possession credit agreements for up to $1.5 billion in postpetition financing. On
December 30, 2002, pursuant to two orders, the Bankruptcy Court gave its final approval of the DIP
Facilities.
One of the two orders authorized the Debtors entry into a stand-alone $300 million amortizing
term loan from Bank One, NA secured by, among other things, the revenue from the Co-Branded Credit
Card Program Mileage Plus Agreement between Bank One, United, and ULS (as amended, restated,
waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Bank One DIP Facility). United
made its final payment under the Bank One DIP Facility on July 1, 2004. Thus, the Bank One DIP
Facility terminated on that date. 9
The other order authorized the Debtors entry into a separate debtor-in-possession credit
facility in the form of revolving and term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.2
billion from JPMorgan Chase Bank, Citicorp USA, Inc., Bank One, The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc.
and a syndicate of lenders party to the Club DIP Facility (collectively, the Club DIP Lenders) on
a pro rata basis (as amended, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the Club DIP Facility, and collectively with the Bank One DIP Facility, the DIP
Facilities). The commitments under the Club DIP Facility were to be provided in two stages. In
Stage I, the Club DIP Lenders made a commitment to provide a $100 million Tranche A revolving
credit and letter of credit facility, and a $400 million Tranche B term loan. The Debtors
immediately drew on the entire $500 million available under the Stage I facilities. In Stage
II, which would become available only upon the occurrence of certain specified conditions, the
Debtors could access an additional $700 million under Tranche A. A first priority perfected Lien
on substantially all of the Debtors assets secures the Club DIP Facility.
The DIP Facilities have allowed the Debtors to pay certain permitted
prepetition Claims, fulfill working capital needs, obtain letters of
credit, and pay for other general corporate matters. Moreover, the
funds available to the Debtors under the DIP Facilities have provided
the necessary security to the
|

|
9 |
|
As a condition to obtaining DIP financing from Bank
One at the inception of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors assumed a
co-branded credit card agreement (the Co-Branded Card Agreement)
with Bank One. The Co-Branded Card Agreement contains a liquidated damages
clause that would result in a $700 million postpetition claim against United,
ULS, and UAL in the event of a breach before the end of 2005. This liquidated
damages clause reduces to $600 million for breaches that occur on or after
January 1, 2006. |
36
Debtors vendors so that they would continue to do business with the
Debtors, helping to minimize the disruptions to the Debtors operations as the Debtors pursued
their reorganization efforts.
Both DIP Facilities have been amended several times during the Chapter 11 Cases, in some cases
to address issues unique to each facility and in other cases to address issues common to both
facilities.
a. Summary of Amendments Specific to the Club DIP Facility
Specifically with respect to the Club DIP Facility, certain waivers and amendments made during
the Chapter 11 Cases, among other things, served to: (a) establish the borrowing base criteria; (b)
waive Uniteds compliance requirements with certain EBITDAR covenants; (c) permit an overadvance
on the borrowing base under the Club DIP Facility; (d) increase the amount of debt that can be
secured by Liens or letters of credit in connection with fuel hedging or similar agreements; (e)
increase the total collateral available to the DIP Lenders; (f) assign a portion of the initial
lenders commitments to new members of the bank syndicate; and (g) reduce the interest rate on the
Club DIP Facility financing. Another amendment that was necessary with respect to the Club DIP
Facility occurred during the third quarter 2004 when Cendant and Orbitz announced their merger and
United agreed to sell the remainder of its equity investment in Orbitz, Inc. pursuant to a tender
offer by Cendant Corporation. The Bankruptcy Court approved Uniteds participation in the
transaction on October 15, 2004. This transaction generated approximately $185 million in proceeds
(of which 25% would, under the then current terms, be used to pay down the Club DIP Facility) and a
one-time gain of approximately $155 million. Pursuant to the ninth amendment to the Club DIP
Facility, United retained 100% of these proceeds.
Of particular note, the Club DIP Facility has been amended several times to reflect changes in
the commitment under such facility. The second amendment to the Club DIP Facility, executed on
February 10, 2003, among other things, reduced the commitment under Tranche A of the Club DIP
Facility by $200 million (thereby reducing the total commitment under the Club DIP Facility to $1
billion). The seventh amendment to the Club DIP Facility, executed on May 7, 2004, among other
things, entirely eliminated Stage II of that facility, which the Debtors had never accessed, thus
reducing the total commitment under the Club DIP Facility to approximately $500 million, consisting
of a $300 million term loan and a $200 million revolver (which included a $100 million liquidation
reserve). As a result of the ATSB denial of a loan guarantee, discussed in ARTICLE III.C.4 herein,
the Debtors determined that they needed to secure additional DIP financing to satisfy the added
liquidity needs of an extended stay in bankruptcy. The Debtors quickly began intensive,
arms-length negotiations with their Club DIP Lenders, ultimately reaching agreement on the eighth
amendment to the Club DIP Facility which provided for an additional $500 million in DIP financing.
On July 21, 2004, after the final payment on the Bank One DIP Facility, the Debtors received
commitments for the $500 million increase, thus increasing the amount they had available in total
DIP financing to $1.0 billion. Pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment to the Club DIP Facility,
approved by the Bankruptcy Court on July 15, 2005, the Club DIP Lenders agreed to increase their
commitment under the Club DIP Facility by approximately $310 million to approximately $1.3 billion.
The Club DIP Lenders also agreed, among other things, to extend the Club DIP Facilitys maturity
date, which had already been extended several times during the Chapter 11 Cases through December
30, 2005 (with an option to by the Debtors to further extend the maturity date to March 31, 2006,
subject to no event of default under the Club DIP Facility existing on December 30), to decrease
the interest rate under the Club DIP Facility by 25 basis points and to amend certain covenants to
give the Debtors more flexibility to optimize operations, and to make additional amendments to the
Club DIP Facility, the SGR Security Agreement and Aircraft Mortgage.
Pursuant to the recent Thirteenth Amendment to the Club DIP Facility, approved by the
Bankruptcy Court on August 18, 2005, the Club DIP Lenders agreed to a Tranche C term loan which
would be structured as a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession term loan facility up to
the
37
aggregate principal amount of $350 million, at a market rate of interest. The specific purpose
of the Tranche C loan is to refinance certain aircraft under the 1997-1 EETC financing transaction.
Pursuant to the Thirteenth Amendment, JPMorgan intends to syndicate all or part of the Tranche C
loan. As of the date of this Disclosure Statement, the conditions for funding the Tranche C loan
have not yet been satisfied. If such conditions are met, the total amount of the Club DIP Facility
will be in an amount up to $1.65 billion. On August 26, 2005 Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, N.A., the
trustee under the 1997-1 EETC aircraft financing, filed a notice of appeal of the Bankruptcy
Courts order approving the Thirteenth Amendment to the Club DIP Facility.
b. Summary of Amendments Specific to the Bank One DIP Facility
Specifically with respect to the Bank One DIP Facility, certain waivers and amendments served
to: (a) waive UALs and the other Debtors noncompliance with reporting requirements; and (b)
clarify the events which trigger prepayment of the Bank One DIP Facility.
c. Summary of Amendments Common to the DIP Facilities
The waivers and amendments common to the Bank One and Club DIP Facilities served to: (a)
increase both the applicable interest rates on the loans and the minimum cash covenants; (b) allow
United, pursuant to a tax stipulation, to enter into an arrangement with the U.S. government to
receive a tax refund as well as impose a Lien, in favor of the government, on a portion of such
refund; (c) waive events of default relating to: (i) Uniteds failure to make certain payments in
connection with the Section 1110 Fleet; (ii) the increase in Uniteds indebtedness as a result of
deferring payments with respect to the Section 1110 Fleet, provided certain other conditions were
satisfied; (iii) Uniteds failure to provide proper notice with respect to its modification or
suspension of service on certain routes; (iv) the incurrence of additional Liens on Uniteds fuel
inventory; (v) the financing of certain insurance premiums; (vi) Uniteds failure to provide proper
notice regarding its discontinuation of service on the San Francisco/Taipei route; and (vii)
cross-defaults under either facility; and (d) permit United to: (i) elect not to pay an obligation
arising under a Section 1110-related agreements unless compelled by the Bankruptcy Court; (ii)
incur additional Liens on cash collateral and fuel inventory; (iii) incur a Lien on Uniteds right
to receive a refund of unearned insurance premium financed by United; (iv) increase its
indebtedness as a result of deferring payments with respect to the Section 1110 Fleet, provided
certain other conditions were satisfied; (v) permanently transfer certain slots it maintained at
the London Heathrow Airport; (vi) enter into the Fuel Supply Agreement with Morgan Stanley, as well
as incur a Lien on the deposit securing Uniteds and UAFCs obligations under the Fuel Supply
Agreement; (vii) restructure indebtedness secured by a Lien on five (5) certain flight simulators;
and (viii) dispose of both its interest in Hotwire, Inc. and a portion of its interest in Orbitz,
Inc. and Orbitz, LLC through a public offering (such net cash proceeds were used to prepay the Club
DIP Facility in accordance with its terms).
12. Applications for Retention of Debtors Professionals
On December 30, 2002, and February 1, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court approved the retention of
certain Professionals to represent and assist the Debtors in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.
Certain of these Professionals have been intimately involved with the negotiation and development
of the Plan. These Professionals include, among others: (a) Kirkland & Ellis LLP as counsel for
the Debtors; (b) Rothschild as investment banker and financial adviser for the Debtors; (c) Huron
as restructuring
consultants to the Debtors; and (d) Poorman-Douglas as notice agent and Claims Agent for the
Debtors. The Bankruptcy Court also approved the Debtors requests to retain other Professionals to
assist the Debtors in other ongoing matters. These Professionals include, but are not limited to:
(i) Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz, P.C. as special aircraft financing counsel and conflicts
counsel to the Debtors; (ii) Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP as special labor counsel and
special litigation counsel to the
38
Debtors; (iii) Babcock & Brown LP as restructuring advisor to the
Debtors with respect to secured aircraft debt and lease obligations; (iv) Deloitte & Touche LLP as
independent auditors, accountants and tax service providers to the Debtors; (v) Wilmer, Cutler,
Pickering, Hale and Dorr LLP as special regulatory counsel to the Debtors; and (vi) Piper Rudnick
LLP as special labor counsel to the Debtors. The Bankruptcy Court also authorized the
establishment of procedures for interim compensation and reimbursement of the Debtors
Professionals.
Subsequently, the Debtors sought Bankruptcy Court approval to employ additional Professionals.
On February 27, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court approved the retention of McKinsey & Company as
management consultant to the Debtors. The Bankruptcy Court similarly approved the retention of
Bain & Company as strategic consultants and negotiating agents for the Debtors on April 16, 2003.
It approved the retention of Mercer Management Consulting as executory contract consultants on May
23, 2003. Also on May 23, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court approved the retention of Transportation
Planning, Inc. as appraisers to the Debtors. On February 25, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved
the retention of Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw LLP as special litigation counsel. On November 1, 2004,
the Bankruptcy Court approved the retention of Bridge Associates, LLC to provide financial and
operational review and consulting services to United. Finally, in October of 2004, United obtained
Bankruptcy Court approval for the retention of Novare, Inc. and Account Resolution Corporation as
preference consultants.
C. Debtors Restructuring Initiatives
Following the filing of the Debtors Chapter 11 petitions and the initial stabilization of
their operations, the Debtors focused on pursuing a number of restructuring initiatives to prepare
for their successful emergence from Chapter 11. Several of these initiatives are described in
further detail below.
1. Automatic Stay
The filing of the bankruptcy petition on the Petition Date triggered the immediate imposition
of the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, which, with limited exceptions,
enjoined the commencement or continuation of all collection efforts and actions by Creditors and
claimants, the enforcement of Liens against property of the Debtors, and continuation of litigation
against the Debtors. The automatic stay remains in effect until the Debtors emergence from
Chapter 11.
September 11 Litigation. While most litigation against the Debtors remains stayed, the
Debtors have filed a number of stipulations with the Bankruptcy Court modifying the automatic stay
to allow certain plaintiffs to proceed for the limited purpose of establishing liability and/or
recovering from available insurance proceeds. One of the most significant cases to proceed arises
out of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, which involved two United aircraft (Flights 175
and 93). Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed as a result of the events of September 11 in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which has exclusive
jurisdiction over all claims arising out of the terrorist attacks. In addition, various parties
filed approximately 370 Proofs of Claim against the Debtors Estates on account of this litigation.
These suits assert a variety of theories, including wrongful death, personal injury, and property
damage, based on the allegation that United, among others, breached its duty of care to its
passengers and certain ground victims. Pursuant to legislation passed by Congress (the Air
Transportation and Safety and System Stabilization Act of 2001, codified at 49 U.S.C. § 40101 and
amended by the Aviation and Transportation and Security Act, Pub. L. 107-71, 115 Stat. 597 (2001)),
the
recovery by such plaintiffs is limited to the amount of applicable insurance coverage. As a
result, on May 29, 2003, the Debtors reached an agreement with the September 11 plaintiffs whereby
they would proceed against liability insurance proceeds. Since that time, a number of plaintiffs
pursuing litigation in the Southern District of New York have opted into the September 11 Victims
Compensation Fund, which allowed individual victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks to
receive compensation from the
39
federal government in lieu of pursuing a civil action, as a result of
which their lawsuits against the Debtors have been dismissed. As a result of such dismissals, only
121 lawsuits are still active. Of these, 33 plaintiffs continue to seek recovery against the
Debtors applicable insurance for damages caused to passengers or ground victims by the two United
flights. An additional 30 property damage lawsuits are still pending. In addition, only 15
Proofs of Claim related to the September 11 terrorist attacks remain on the Debtors Claims
register. The Debtors reserve all rights, claims, and defenses with respect to this litigation and
any Proofs of Claim filed by such plaintiffs.
Summers Litigation. On February 28, 2003, certain participants in the Debtors ESOP (the
ESOP Plaintiffs) brought a purported class action in the District Court against UALs ESOPs, the
ESOP Committee, and certain of the ESOP Committee members (the ESOP Defendants) alleging the
ESOP Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by not selling UAL stock held by the ESOP (the
Summers Litigation). The complaint cites numerous events and disclosures that allegedly should
have alerted the ESOP Defendants of the need to sell the shares. The Debtors have $10 million in
fiduciary insurance for any liability and are obligated to indemnify the ESOP Committee members for
any liability beyond that coverage.
On May 9, 2003, the ESOP Committee and certain of its members filed indemnification Claims
against the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases relating to the Summers Litigation. On July 3, 2003,
the ESOP Plaintiffs filed a purported class action Claim in the Chapter 11 Cases making similar
Claims that the Debtors breached their fiduciary duties to monitor the ESOP Committee members. The
parties subsequently entered into a stipulation under which the ESOP Plaintiffs agreed to proceed
only against the insurance proceeds. On February 17, 2005, the District Court certified the matter
to proceed as a class action on behalf of all participants in the ESOP. All parties (the ESOP
Plaintiffs, State Street, and the ESOP Committee) have filed motions for summary judgment, all of
which are fully briefed and currently pending. The Seventh Circuit subsequently authorized the
ESOP Defendants to file an interlocutory appeal from the class certification decision. The appeal
has now been fully briefed. On August 17, 2005 the ESOP Plaintiffs and the ESOP Committee
Defendants filed a proposed settlement with the District Court. The District Court preliminarily
approved the settlement. The ESOP Plaintiffs are in the process of notifying class members of the
settlement and the fairness hearing for the settlement is scheduled for October 12, 2005. State
Street did not settle with the ESOP Plaintiffs and the parties are scheduled to go to trial in the
District Court in October. The Debtors reserve all rights, claims, and defenses with respect to
this litigation.
Hall d.b.a. Travel Specialists v. United. A North Carolina travel agent filed an antitrust
class action suit against United (and other carriers) initially in state court and then in federal
court (in North Carolina), following the reduction by United (and other carriers) in November 1999
of commission rates payable to travel agents. The plaintiffs alleged that United and the other
carrier-defendants conspired to fix travel agent commissions in violation of the Sherman Act and
sought treble damages and injunctive relief. Subsequent to this initial filing, the case was
expanded by the addition of new carrier defendants and the certification of a plaintiff class
consisting of all U.S. travel agencies. The plaintiffs also have added Claims relating to the
carriers commission reduction actions in 1997, 1998, 2001, and 2002. The plaintiffs have claimed
lost commissions in the amount of $13 billion, although Uniteds alleged share of this amount was
not specified. Upon the Debtors Chapter 11 filing, this case was stayed as against United. Since
that date, all remaining defendants have moved for summary judgment. Subsequently, the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina granted summary judgment in favor
of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed the summary judgment decision to the Fourth
Circuit Court of Appeals, and on December 9, 2004, the Fourth Circuit affirmed the trial courts
ruling dismissing all claims. On January 4, 2005, the Fourth Circuit denied plaintiffs request
for a rehearing en banc and the time for further appeal has now expired. The Debtors reserve all
rights, claims, and defenses with respect to this litigation.
40
Always Travel Litigation and Canadian CCAA Filing. On May 13, 2002, Always Travel Inc.
(Always Travel), Highbourne Enterprises Inc. (Highbourne), and Canadian Standard Travel Agent
Registry (CSTAR and together with Always Travel and Highbourne, the Canadian Plaintiffs)
commenced an action in the Federal Court of Canada (the Federal Court) against United, Air
Canada, American Airlines Inc., Delta Airlines Inc., Continental Airlines Inc., Northwest Airlines
Inc., and the International Air Transport Association. Always Travel and Highbourne are both
travel agencies located in Canada, specifically in Montreal, Québec, and Toronto, Ontario. CSTAR
is a not-for-profit corporation purporting to represent travel agencies throughout Canada. The
Canadian Plaintiffs had claimed damages on their own behalf and as representatives of a class of
travel agents in Canada for, among other things, damages as a result of an alleged conspiracy and
breach of the Canadian Competition Act. In August 2004, a Canadian insolvency judge upheld the
separate decisions of a claims monitor and a claims officer disallowing the Canadian Plaintiffs
Claims in their entirety. Subsequently, pursuant to an objection filed by the Debtors, the
Bankruptcy Court disallowed the Canadian Plaintiffs Proofs of Claim filed in the Chapter 11 Cases.
The underlying litigation against all the airline defendants, including United, has now been
dismissed with prejudice bringing this dispute to a final conclusion.
In addition, on May 16, 2003, United and its related entities sought and obtained an order
(the Foreign Recognition Order) from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the Superior Court)
under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) that, among other things: (i) recognized
Uniteds Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in Canada; (ii) stayed all Claims against United in
Canada; and (iii) directed all Canadian Creditors and claimants to file any Claims that they may
have against the Debtors in their Chapter 11 Cases by no later than June 23, 2003 (the Canadian
Bar Date). The Superior Court has periodically extended the Foreign Recognition Order, which
still remains in effect. Most recently, on June 7, 2005, the Superior Court extended the Foreign
Recognition Order through September 16, 2005. The Debtors reserve all rights, claims, and defense
with respect to this litigation.
2. Claims
On February 24, 2003, the Debtors filed their schedules of assets and liabilities and
statement of financial affairs (the Schedules) with the Bankruptcy Court. On June 24, 2005, the
Debtors filed amended Schedules with the Bankruptcy Court (the Amended Schedules). Interested
parties may review the Schedules and/or Amended Schedules at the office of the Clerk of the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Everett McKinley
Dirksen Building, 219 S. Dearborn, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
On February 27, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order setting claims bar dates (the Bar
Date Order) approving the form and manner of the bar date notice (the Bar Date Notice).
Pursuant to the Bar Date Order and the Bar Date Notice, the general Bar Date for filing Proofs of
Claim in these Chapter 11 Cases was May 12, 2003 for all persons and non-governmental entities, and
June 9, 2003 for all governmental entities. The Debtors served copies of the Bar Date Notice on
all scheduled Creditors, employees, and other potential Creditors and published the Bar Date Notice
in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, The Australian, the
London Times, the South China Morning Post, Asahi Shinbun, La Nacion, Folha de Sao Paulo (Retail
Rate), USA Today Global Edition, and the International Herald Tribune. In addition, as discussed
above, pursuant to the Foreign
Recognition Order, the Debtors published notice of the Canadian Bar Date in the Globe and Mail
(National Edition) on May 28, 2003.
Claims Estimates. As of September 1, 2005, the Debtors Claims Agent had received
approximately 44,716 Proofs of Claim. As of September 1, 2005, the total amounts of remaining
Claims filed against the Debtors were as follows: 319 Secured Claims in the total amount of
$13,545,350,698.99; 95 Administrative Claims in the total amount of $319,766,767.14; 256 Claims

asserting Priority Claims in the total amount of $10,470,875,378.18; and 6,208 Unsecured Claims in
the total amount of $20,422,648,792.51. The Debtors believe that many of the filed Proofs of Claim
are invalid, untimely, duplicative, overstated, and therefore are in the process of objecting to
such Claims. Through such objections, the Bankruptcy Court has to date disallowed a total of
approximately $3.618 trillion in Claims (including reduced Retroactive Pay Claims of $3.375
trillion).
The Debtors estimate that at the conclusion of the Claims objection, reconciliation and
resolution process, the aggregate amount of estimated Allowed Secured Claims against the Debtors
will aggregate approximately $8 billion, estimated Allowed Priority Tax Claims against the Debtors
will aggregate approximately $60 million, and estimated Allowed Unsecured Claims against the
Debtors will aggregate approximately $28 billion.10 These estimates are based upon a
number of assumptions made by the Debtors. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the ultimate
amount of each of such categories of Claims will conform to the estimates stated herein, and most
of the Claims underlying such estimates are subject to challenge.
The Debtors estimate that at the conclusion of the Claims objection, reconciliation and
resolution process, the aggregate amount of estimated Allowed Administrative Claims against the
Debtors will aggregate approximately $81 million. The estimate of Allowed Administrative Claims
includes, inter alia, Claims associated with the cure of assumed executory contracts and unexpired
leases, Claims related to aircraft subject to Section 1110(a) elections and/or Section 1110(b)
stipulations (but not any Claims asserted by parties seeking allowance of administrative claims
under Sections 503(b) and 365(d)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code for aircraft), Claims arising from a
right of reclamation, and certain Administrative Claim requests reflected on the Claims Register
and docket for which the Debtors reasonably expect there to be a recovery. The estimate of Allowed
Administrative Claims does not include ordinary course trade payables, the Debtors key employee
retention plans, or Professional fees.
Also, to resolve an adversary proceeding against the United States government seeking turnover
of certain tax refunds, overpayments, and other tax-related items owed to the Debtors, and in
return for the release to the Debtors of approximately $363 million administratively frozen by the
U.S., the Debtors and the U.S. entered into a stipulation and agreed order (approved by the
Bankruptcy Court on March 27, 2003). The stipulation established a $25 million fund from which
valid Claims of the U.S. government could be set off. To date, the U.S. government has exercised
approximately $5.5 million in set offs, reducing the $25 million fund to $19.5 million. Any valid
Claims of the federal government in excess of the fund would be treated as Administrative Claims by
the Debtors, with a maximum cap of approximately $363 million for such Claims. The Debtors
current estimated aggregate liability to the U.S. government (excluding amounts owed the PBGC) is
approximately $19.7 million. The adversary proceeding was dismissed without prejudice, and the
Debtors may, if necessary, institute an action for turnover of any remaining administratively
frozen funds. Under the stipulation the Debtors retain the right to object to, and have the
Bankruptcy Court adjudicate, any Claim of the U.S. government.
In addition, various alleged Creditors asserted numerous Claims in unliquidated amounts. The
Debtors believe that certain Claims that have been asserted are without merit and intend to object
to all such Claims. There can be no assurance that the Debtors will be able to achieve the
significant reductions in Claims set forth above. Moreover, additional Claims may be filed or
identified during the Claims resolution process that may materially affect the foregoing Claims
estimates.

The estimate of Allowed Unsecured Claims includes,
among other things, proposed distributions to the Debtors employee
groups as discussed in Article III.C.4 herein. |

3. Treatment of Net Operating Losses
As of the Petition Date, the Debtors federal net operating losses (NOLs) were estimated to
be approximately $4 billion. Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have incurred an additional
several billion dollars of NOLs. Under the Internal Revenue Code, NOLs that accumulate prior to
emergence from bankruptcy may be used to offset post-emergence taxable income. However, under the
applicable federal tax laws, the Debtors would have lost the ability to utilize a significant
portion of their NOLs if an ownership change were to occur prior to completion of the Chapter 11
Cases. Consequently, trading in the stock of the Debtors could have jeopardized the Debtors
ability to use those NOLs. In addition, the Debtors ability to use their NOLs could have been
significantly limited as a result of trading of Claims against the Debtors.
In light of the vital importance of maintaining this significant source of future savings, the
Debtors sought, and the Bankruptcy Court entered, an interim order on December 10, 2002, to
prohibit any trading in: (i) Claims against the Debtors; or (ii) equity securities of the Debtors.
The Debtors were particularly concerned about sales of equity securities by State Street, the
independent fiduciary for the ESOPs, because the ESOPs previously had held more than 50% of UALs
stock. Sales by State Street alone could have triggered an ownership change. The Bankruptcy
Courts December 10 interim order applied to any Holder holding at least: (i) 2,500,000 shares of
Old UAL Common Stock; or (ii) Claims in excess of $65 million. Following a hearing on December 30,
2002, the Bankruptcy Court entered an additional interim order to assist the Debtors in monitoring
and preserving their NOLs by imposing certain notice and hearing procedures on trading in Claims
against, or Interests in, the Debtors. With respect to transfers of Claims, the December 30
interim order also increased the minimum level of applicable Claims from $65 million to $200
million and, with respect to Holders of shares, increased the minimum number of shares of Old UAL
Common Stock to 4,800,000 shares. On January 15, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court entered another
interim order clarifying such procedures and further limiting the application of the restrictions.
In January 2003, the Bankruptcy Courts ruling that State Street could sell only those shares
that would not jeopardize the Debtors NOLs permitted State Street to convert an additional 3.2
million shares of Old Class 1 and Class 2 Preferred Stock to an equivalent 12.8 million shares of
Old UAL Common Stock and sell them on the open market. On February 24, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court
entered a preliminary injunction limiting transfers of Interests of and Claims against the Debtors
and approving related notice procedures consistent with the prior interim orders. On March 4,
2003, the Debtors announced they had received a private letter ruling from the IRS, effectively
permitting State Street to sell approximately 3.9 million additional UAL shares, but confirming
that sales of any additional shares would in fact cause an ownership change that would cause
United to lose its NOLs. State Street promptly sold those 3.9 million shares on the open market.
In May 2003, the Old UAL Board passed a resolution that if the IRS amended its regulations,
the ESOPs would terminate and all shares held by the ESOPs would be distributed to the individual
ESOP participants. On June 27, 2003, the Treasury Department and the IRS released a new set of tax
regulations regarding qualified plans (such as the ESOPs) and the manner in which sales and
distributions of stock by ESOPs affect corporate NOLs. As a result of these regulations, which
generally permitted an ESOP to distribute shares to its participants with no adverse effect on a
corporations NOLs, UAL and the
Creditors Committee authorized termination of the ESOP and State Street was permitted to
distribute the remaining 15.9 million shares of Old UAL Common Stock held by the ESOP to the ESOPs
individual participants (after accounting for the conversion of the Old Class 1 and Class 2
Preferred Stock into Old UAL Common Stock).
43
4. Labor, Pension, and Retirement Cost Restructuring
Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors struggled under the costs and restrictions of CBAs
covering approximately 85% of their domestic work force. The Debtors CBAs set high wage scales
and established work rules that hampered productivity in comparison to the Debtors competitors.
As a result, during 2002, the Debtors had the highest labor costs of any major U.S. airline.
Moreover, the CBAs hindered the Debtors flexibility to make critical business decisions, such as
entering into code-sharing agreements with other airlines, allowing its United Express partners to
use smaller and less costly regional jets on routes with less demand, and outsourcing work to
companies who could provide services at much lower costs than the Debtors employees. Because
labor costs constitute the Debtors largest expense and consequently are a critical differentiator
of total costs among airlines, negotiating modifications to their CBAs ranked among the Debtors
highest priorities from the outset of the Chapter 11 Cases.
The Debtors also faced significant pension obligations. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors
sponsored four underfunded defined benefit pension plans: the United Airlines Pilot Defined Benefit
Pension Plan (the Pilot Plan), the United Airlines Flight Attendant Defined Benefit Pension Plan
(the Flight Attendant Plan), the United Air Lines Ground Retirement Income Plan (the Ground
Plan), and the Management, Administrative, and Public Contact Workers Defined Benefit Pension Plan
(the MAPC Plan) (collectively, the Pension Plans).11 The combination of the lowest
interest rates in 45 years and volatile stock market returns caused many U.S. defined benefit
pension plans, including those of the Debtors, to become underfunded. Government funding
requirements obligated the Debtors to pay a special funding surcharge called a deficit reduction
contribution (DRC) that would have required the Debtors to make significant accelerated
contributions to the Debtors Pension Plans over the next few years. The Debtors estimated that
they would have had to make over $5.5 billion in pension contributions (including pilot and
management non-qualified benefits) from 2004 through 2008.
a. 2003 Labor, Pension, and Retirement Cost Restructuring
For the first 18 months of their Chapter 11 Cases, and with the support of all of their
stakeholders, including the Creditors Committee, the Debtors focused on obtaining exit financing
guaranteed by the ATSB on terms that would have allowed the Debtors to exit bankruptcy with their
Pension Plans intact. By statute, a precondition of an ATSB guarantee would have been that
non-ATSB-guaranteed financing of the Debtors business plan submitted to the ATSB was not available
on commercially reasonable terms. Thus, no parallel exit financing process could have been
undertaken in earnest during the ATSB process. During this time, the Debtors made tremendous
strides (which the ATSB expressly acknowledged) in reducing their overall cost structure and making
their businesses more competitive, including a tripartite restructuring of their labor, pension,
and other retirement costs.
(i) The Debtors 2003 Labor Cost Restructuring Activities
Negotiations to modify the Debtors CBAs commenced three days after the Petition Date, when
the Debtors presented each of their Unions with proposed modifications to their CBAs, initiating
the Section 1113 process under the Bankruptcy Code. While the Debtors committed to reaching
consensual settlements, they informed their Unions that to satisfy covenants under the DIP Facility
they would be forced to seek rejection of their CBAs if negotiations proved unsuccessful.
Simultaneously, the Debtors

Lines, Inc. Employees Variable Benefit Retirement Income Plan which is a
small frozen defined benefit pension plan. No contributions are currently due
with respect to this Plan. |
44
took immediate steps to reduce the pay, benefits and staffing levels of
their non-represented SAM employees.
The DIP Facility covenants originally required that the Debtors lower their labor costs by
mid-February 2003, which would have necessitated a filing to reject the Debtors CBAs by December
26, 2002. To allow the Debtors enough headroom under the DIP Facility covenants, thereby delaying
their Section 1113(c) rejection motion, and allowing the parties more time to reach consensual
agreements, the Debtors, ALPA, AFA, PAFCA, and TWU agreed to interim wage reductions, which were
ratified by their memberships in early January 2003. The Debtors subsequently moved under Section
1113(e) for interim wage relief against IAM 141 and IAM 141M, which the Bankruptcy Court granted on
January 10, 2003.
After attaining interim wage relief, the Debtors and their Unions continued negotiations to
achieve long-term wage and benefit cost-saving agreements. By mid-March, the Debtors had reached
agreement only with TWU, the smallest of the Debtors Unions (the TWU 2003 Restructuring
Agreement). Thus, even while continuing to negotiate, the Debtors were forced to file their
Section 1113(c) motion on March 17, 2003, to reject all of their other CBAs.
Ultimately, the negotiations succeeded. On March 27, 2003, the Debtors and ALPA reached
tentative agreement on long-term modifications to the ALPA CBA (the ALPA 2003 Restructuring
Agreement), while the Debtors reached tentative agreements with AFA (the AFA 2003 Restructuring
Agreement), PAFCA (the PAFCA 2003 Restructuring Agreement), IAM 141 (the IAM 141 2003
Restructuring Agreement), and IAM 141M12 (the IAM 141M Restructuring Agreement, and
collectively, the 2003 Restructuring Agreements) in early April 2003. Each of the Unions
memberships subsequently ratified their respective 2003 Restructuring Agreements.
Significantly, the 2003 Restructuring Agreements provided for: enhanced flexibility with
respect to regional jets, outsourcing, and code share arrangements; a low-cost product offering;
and a success-sharing program. The Debtors, ALPA, and IAM also entered into letters of agreement
providing that ALPA and IAM would have a seat on Reorganized UALs board of directors. Pursuant to
the 2003 Restructuring Agreements, the Debtors achieved average annual savings of approximately
$1.1 billion from ALPA; approximately $500,000 from TWU; approximately $4 million from PAFCA;
approximately $300 million from AFA; approximately $350 million from IAM 141M; and approximately
$450 million from IAM 141. The Debtors also achieved average annual savings of approximately $332
million from their SAM employees. In all, these changes were projected to result in average annual
savings of approximately $2.5 billion over the 2003 to 2008 time period. Additionally, concessions
included in the 2003 Restructuring Agreements reduced the Debtors projected pension funding
contributions by approximately $1.2 billion between 2004 and 2008.
The Debtors agreed that all of their employee groups would share proportionately in the
distribution under the Debtors plan to the unsecured creditor body. Specifically, the Debtors
agreed to
propose a plan of reorganization that provided for distributions to each of the their
Union-represented and SAM employee groups based on their pro rata share of the Unsecured
Distribution as though such employee groups had Unsecured Claims, calculated as follows: (a) the
dollar value of 30 months of average cost reductions obtained in the Debtors 2003 labor savings
initiatives with respect to each
|

|
In July 2003, the National Mediation Board
announced that the Debtors mechanics and related employees,
previously represented by the IAM, voted to change their union
representation to AMFA. This change in representation from IAM to AMFA had
no effect on the terms or duration of the modified CBAs ratified in April
2003. |
45
employee group as reasonably measured by the Debtors labor model,
divided by (b) the sum of each respective distribution amount and the total amount of all other
allowed prepetition general Unsecured Claims against the Debtors. Collectively, the average labor
cost savings over 30 months based on the Debtors 2003 labor savings initiatives total
approximately $6.4 billion.
On April 30, 2003, the Debtors filed a motion to approve the 2003 Restructuring Agreements,
and the Bankruptcy Court considered the motion the same day. Certain parties objected to the
distributions under the 2003 Restructuring Agreements. The Debtors addressed the objectors
concerns by including a reservation of rights in the order approving the motion as follows:
[V]arious parties state that the claims set forth in the Distribution Agreements
contained in the [2003] Restructuring Agreements may be challenged at a later date;
the Debtors and the unions state that the Restructuring Agreements speak for
themselves in that regard.
Order Approving 2003 Restructuring Agreements, ¶ 4. When one of the objectors asked for
clarification of this provision in the order, the Bankruptcy Court stated as follows:
I dont know, and cant possibly have given sufficient consideration to know, the
appropriateness of a claim to be asserted by the unions in connection with these
restructurings. I have every reason to believe that it was the subject of
considerable negotiation between United and the unions. If theres also no question
that the agreement of the unions to accept reductions in the compensation of their
members as this case moves forward would be essential to the continued operation of
the airline, its continued ability to generate income and, hence, the potential for
your clients recovering anything on their general unsecured claims with those
observations, I would suggest that it is highly likely that the claims that are set
forth in this agreement would ultimately be approved by the Court if there were a
challenge made to the claims. However, I have to believe that the provisions of
Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code which would allow other parties to challenge
claims asserted by any creditors of the estate, could not be undone by a bilateral
agreement between the debtor and a particular creditor. So those those would be
my observations. If thats troubling to either party in such a way as to cause them
not to want me to sign this order, I will hear from them. But thats the way I
would view the situation at the present time.
See 4/30/2003 Transcript, pp. 7-8.
While the savings achieved through the Debtors 2003 labor restructuring initiatives were
significant, the Debtors still faced $2.5 billion in pension plan contributions coming due in 2004
and 2005. For this reason, among others, the Debtors expressly reserved their rights with respect
to Section 1113, Section 1114, and pension issues as warranted by future developments.
(ii) The Debtors Request for Pension Funding Relief
On October 10, 2003, the Debtors filed with the IRS multiple applications for pension funding
waivers for all four of the Debtors Pension Plans. In addition, the Debtors worked closely with
other
airlines, airline unions, and the AFL-CIO in support of a pension reform proposal that would
allow companies affected by the DRC requirements to defer certain accelerated pension funding
contributions and smooth out minimum funding requirements over a longer period of time than
provided by the current law.
46
Despite resistance from low fare carriers, Congress enacted the Pension Funding Equity Act
(PFEA) on April 10, 2004. The PFEA benefited the Debtors in two ways. First, the PFEA adjusted
the benchmark that the Debtors were to use during the following two years to calculate their
contributions from the 30-year Treasury Bond rate to a rate comprised of a mix of corporate bonds
(which lowered the Debtors required pension funding obligations in 2004 and 2005). Second, the
PFEA provided DRC relief to the airline and steel industries (by deferring certain payments to
future years).
(iii) The Debtors Section 1114 Negotiations: Obtaining Modifications to
Retiree Benefits
Because of the need to meet certain financial metrics, the Debtors next reluctantly turned to
restructuring their costs to provide medical benefits to retirees. On January 14, 2004, the
Debtors announced that they would seek modifications to their retirees medical benefits pursuant
to Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code. All of the Unions who represented employees of the
Debtors, except for ALPA, agreed to serve as authorized representatives for their respective
retiree groups. On January 23, 2004, the Debtors filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking
appointment of a committee of retired persons to represent retired salaried and management
employees and retired pilots.13 On February 20, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court appointed two
retiree committees, one committee representing retired pilots and one committee representing
retired SAM employees (collectively, the Retiree Committees). Thereafter, the Debtors began the
negotiation process under Section 1114 by distributing the proposed modifications and relevant
information to the Retiree Committees and the other authorized representatives.
The Debtors engaged in negotiations with the authorized representatives throughout April and
May 2004. On May 21, 2004, the Debtors were forced to file a motion to modify their retiree
medical benefits under Section 1114 because they had only reached consensual agreement on the
modification of retiree medical benefits with one of their authorized representatives. Thus, a
trial was scheduled for June 11, 2004. On the eve of trial, however, the Debtors reached
agreements with each of the authorized representatives. These agreements were subsequently
memorialized in an agreed order that the Bankruptcy Court entered on June 14, 2004. The Debtors
estimated that the modifications to retiree benefits netted more than $300 million in total cash
savings through 2010.
(iv) Debtors Termination of Their SERP
In March 2003, the Debtors ceased payment of Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
(SERP) benefits (i.e., non-qualified benefits earned under the terms of the MAPC Plan) to SAM
retirees who were not employed by the Debtors on the Petition Date. Subsequently, in February
2005, the Debtors terminated the SERP entirely, thereby eliminating such benefits for all remaining
active and retired SAM employees.
|
|
|
13 |
|
On February 2, 2004, in connection with the Section
1114 process, the AFA filed a motion for appointment of an examiner under
Section 1104(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The AFA argued that an examiner was
warranted to determine whether the Debtors intentionally enticed flight
attendants into retiring early while at the same time not disclosing that they
had already decided to seek modification to their retiree benefits under
Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code. IAM and AMFA joined this request. The
Debtors opposed the request. On February 20, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court
ordered the appointment of Ross O. Silverman as examiner (the
Examiner) for the limited purpose of determining whether the
Debtors decided to seek Section 1114 relief prior to July 1, 2003. On March
19, 2004, the Examiner submitted his report to the Bankruptcy Court. The
report concluded that the Debtors decision to seek relief under Section
1114 was not made before December 15, 2003. |
47
b. Post-ATSB Labor, Pension, and Retirement Cost Restructuring: Obtaining
Non-Guaranteed Exit Financing
In June 2004, the ATSB denied the Debtors federal loan guarantee application, resulting in a
need to secure exit financing not backed by ATSB loan guarantees. To obtain exit financing not
largely backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, and in the midst of record-high
fuel prices and a highly competitive revenue environment, United embarked on significant additional
restructuring initiatives, including additional cost-cutting and efficiency improvements. As part
of this process, United re-examined every aspect of its cost structure as part of the process of
formulating a revised business plan that the capital markets would be willing to finance. Among
other things, it became necessary for the Debtors to revisit their labor costs, including their
pension obligations, which remained the Debtors single largest expense.
(i) The Debtors Decision To Suspend Minimum Funding Contributions
In July 2004, with minimum funding payments of $72 million, $404 million, and $91 million
coming due in connection with the Debtors Pension Plans on July 15, September 15, and October 15,
2004 respectively, the Debtors did not make the July 15 contribution and announced that
they would suspend further contributions until a final decision was reached on whether termination
and replacement of their Pension Plans was necessary. By suspending contributions, the Debtors
averted a precipitous decision with respect to their Pension Plans, allowing for a full and
thoughtful exploration with their stakeholders of every possible alternative to termination and
replacement. Suspending the contributions also avoided a liquidity crisis which would have been
caused by payment of the $567 million in pension contributions due in July, September, and October
2004. However, as discussed below, the Debtors decision to defer future pension contributions
caused several parties, including PBGC, IAM, AFA, and the United States Department of Labor (the
DOL), to pursue legal challenges both in and out of the Bankruptcy Court.
In August 2004, AFA filed a master executive council grievance under the AFA CBA seeking to
compel the Debtors to immediately make their minimum funding contributions with respect to the
Flight Attendant Plan. The Debtors and AFA agreed to an expedited decision process to resolve
AFAs grievance. A neutral arbitrator was selected to sit on the AFA System Board of Adjustment,
who would have the power, under the AFA CBA, to render a binding decision on AFAs grievance.
Ultimately, the AFA System Board of Adjustment ruled in the Debtors favor and found that the
Debtors had been adequately funding the plan from an actuarial perspective and had not violated the
AFA CBA.
Outside of bankruptcy, under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the
Internal Revenue Code, a lien arises in favor of PBGC when unpaid minimum funding contributions
exceed $1 million. In this case, however, the automatic stay prevented PBGC from perfecting its
alleged liens against the Debtors. Notwithstanding the automatic stay, on August 30, 2004, PBGC
purported to perfect certain liens against three non-debtor UAL subsidiaries: ULS Ventures, Inc.,
United Air Lines Ventures, Inc., and Covia LLC.
Following the Debtors deferral of any decision regarding making additional minimum funding
contributions, the Debtors and the DOL engaged in discussions regarding the ongoing administration
of the Pension Plans. As a result of these discussions, the Debtors proposed, and the DOL agreed,
that the Debtors would retain an independent fiduciary for the Pension Plans. With the DOLs
approval, the Debtors engaged Independent Fiduciary Services, Inc. (IFS) to fill that role.
On November 30, 2004, IFS filed a motion to allow minimum funding contribution claims of the
Debtors Pension Plans as administrative expenses. Specifically, the motion requested the
allowance of
48
an Administrative Claim against the Debtors in the amount of the unpaid minimum
funding contributions to the Flight Attendant, Ground, and MAPC Pension Plans (no contributions to
the Pilot Plan had been owed during this time period). On March 18, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court
ruled in the Debtors favor that, as a matter of law, only that portion of the Debtors
minimum funding obligations attributable to benefits earned post-petition was entitled to
administrative priority under the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, the Bankruptcy Court held that
Section 1113(f), on its own, did not afford super-priority to the Debtors obligations under their
CBAs. Furthermore, the Bankruptcy Court held that PBGCs Claim for unpaid minimum funding
obligations was not entitled to tax priority in bankruptcy where, as in this case, the automatic
stay prevented the imposition of a lien against the Debtors. IFS has appealed the Bankruptcy
Courts ruling to the District Court. On May 27, 2005, the Debtors issued a notice to terminate
IFS as independent fiduciary of the Pension Plans, effective on the later of July 27, 2005 or the
termination date of each of the Pension Plans, respectively. Because the Ground, Flight Attendant,
and MAPC Plans (the Pension Plans that were the subject of IFSs motion) have been terminated, as
of July 27, 2005 IFS is no longer independent fiduciary of those Pension Plans.
Separately, the Debtors Canadian Auto Workers-represented (CAW) and IAM-represented
employees located in Canada brought a motion before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the
Ontario Superior Court) to compel minimum funding contributions to the pension plans maintained
for the Debtors Canadian employees (the Canadian Pension Plans). In early February 2005, the
Ontario Superior Court granted IAM and CAWs motion to compel the Debtors to continue making
minimum funding contributions to the Canadian Pension Plans. As a result, on or about March 31,
2005, the Debtors made the missed minimum funding contributions with respect to the Canadian
Pension Plans which totaled approximately $710,000 (USD).
In related matters, on July 30, 2004, IAM and various IAM-represented employees filed two
separate lawsuits alleging breaches of fiduciary duty arising out of the Debtors decision to cease
making minimum funding contributions. One action was filed in the District Court against the
Pension and Welfare Plans Administration Committee of United Airlines, Inc. (PAWPAC) and certain
executives of UAL, including Glenn F. Tilton, Frederic F. Brace, and Peter D. McDonald (IAM, et al.
v. PAWPAC, et al., Case No. 04-C-496). The second action was filed in the United States District
Court for the District of New Jersey against the same three executives (Donnelly, et al. v. Tilton
et al., Case No. 04-03653). On August 2, 2004, the Debtors brought adversary proceedings against
the various plaintiffs, requesting that the Bankruptcy Court enjoin the actions. On August 23,
2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order enjoining both actions. Both actions were later
dismissed without prejudice. Accordingly, on May 20, 2005, the Debtors agreed to dismiss their
adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court without prejudice.
Similarly, on August 11, 2004, IAM and AFA each filed a motion seeking appointment of a
Chapter 11 trustee. They argued that the Debtors management had failed to perform its legal
obligations with respect to its nonpayment of minimum funding contributions and was jeopardizing
the Debtors chances of achieving a successful reorganization. In late October 2004, to resolve
IAMs and AFAs motions, and address concerns expressed by IAM and AFA regarding the Debtors
reformulated business plan, the Debtors agreed to retain Bridge Associates, LLC to review the
Debtors revised business plan.
IAM and AFA subsequently withdrew their motions for the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee.
On December 16, 2004, the Debtors advised the Bankruptcy Court that Bridge Associates, LLC had
completed its review of the Debtors business plan and issued a final report concluding that the
business plan was feasible, subject to certain operational and cash flow assumptions.14

(ii) |
|
Revisiting the Section 1113 Process and Termination and Replacement
of the Pension Plans. |
In the process of revising their business plan and after reviewing alternative approaches, the
Debtors concluded that the airline industrys continuing harsh operating and financial environment
would likely require termination and replacement of the Debtors Pension Plans in order to obtain
exit financing without a loan guarantee from the ATSB. The Debtors also determined and announced
that, in addition to the savings realized from termination and replacement of the Debtors Pension
Plans, the Debtors business plan required approximately $725 million in further average annual
labor cost savings from the Debtors Union and SAM employees to meet exit financing requirements.
To that end, the Debtors officially re-commenced Section 1113 discussions with their Unions on
November 4, 2004 by distributing term sheets and a revised business model to them. The term sheets
contained specific proposals, including suggested modifications to wages, benefits, and work rules
that would provide each groups portion of the approximately $725 million in labor cost reductions
that the Debtors needed to start implementing by January 2005, plus a proposal to eliminate any
requirement in their CBAs to maintain the Pension Plans. The Debtors also provided additional
alternative cost savings options for the Unions to consider, and underscored their willingness to
consider all workable options and alternatives proposed by the Unions that would still provide the
long-term savings necessary to exit Chapter 11 successfully. On November 24, 2004, the Debtors
filed their Section 1113(c) motion to reject their CBAs. The Bankruptcy Court scheduled a Section
1113(c) trial to commence on January 7, 2005. On a parallel track, the Debtors worked with their
Unions to reach consensual agreements that would achieve the cost reductions the Debtors needed and
that would avoid the need to commence the Section 1113(c) trial.

The Debtors December 2004
Agreements with ALPA, PAFCA and TWU |
In December 2004, the Debtors and ALPA reached an agreement on modifications to the ALPA CBA.
Pursuant to the December 2004 ALPA agreement, the Debtors and ALPA agreed, among other things, that
pilot base pay rates would be reduced by 14.7 percent, effective January 1, 2005, not to increase
again until 2006. The original ALPA agreement also provided that if the Debtors should seek
judicial approval to terminate the Pilot Plan after May 11, 2005, ALPA would waive any claim it may
have that the termination of the Pilot Plan would violate the terms and conditions of the ALPA CBA.
In return, the Debtors agreed to propose a plan of reorganization that provides pilots with: (a)
$550 million of New UAL Convertible Employee Notes; (b) an additional pro rata distribution of the
overall distributions to Unsecured Creditors under a plan; (c) an allowed administrative expense
Claim of $167 million (twice the estimated cost savings to the Debtors), under certain conditions,
which would be extinguished only if the agreement was ultimately terminated (the Double
Administrative Claim); and (d) provide an annual 6 percent defined contribution plan for the
pilots.
As outlined in the agreement, the New UAL Employee Convertible Notes would be convertible into
shares of New UAL Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the product of (x) 125% and
(y) the average closing price of New UAL Common Stock for the sixty consecutive trading days
following the Effective Date and will bear interest and be payable all as set forth in the ALPA
2005 Restructuring Agreement. The New UAL Employee Convertible Notes also will include other terms
and conditions that are customarily found in public traded convertible securities of this type.
Later in December 2004, the Debtors reached similar agreements with PAFCA and TWU. The PAFCA
agreement provided that dispatcher base pay rates would be reduced by 5.2 percent, effective
January 1, 2005, that monthly rates would be temporarily reduced by an additional 1.6 percent for
the
50
period January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005, and that following the expiration of the
temporary reduction, dispatcher wage rates would not increase again until 2006. The TWU agreement
provided, among other things, that meteorologist base pay rates would be reduced by 9.8 percent,
effective January 1, 2005. Both agreements, like the December 2004 ALPA agreement, provided that
if the Debtors should seek judicial approval to terminate their respective Pension Plans the Unions
would waive any claim they may have that the termination of such Pension Plans violated the terms
and conditions of their CBAs. In return, the Debtors agreed to propose a plan of reorganization
with: (a) New UAL Convertible Employee Notes (similar to the Notes provided to ALPA-represented
employees) of $24,000 for TWU-represented employees and $400,000 for PAFCA-represented employees;
(b) an additional pro rata distribution of the overall distributions to Unsecured Creditors under a
plan; (c) an administrative claim equal to the estimated cost savings to the Debtors, under certain
conditions, which would be extinguished only if the agreement was ultimately terminated; and (d)
annual contributions to defined contribution plans of 5.5 percent for employees represented by TWU
and 5 percent for employees represented by PAFCA.
On December 16, 2004, the Debtors filed a motion to approve the December 2004 ALPA agreement
and on January 5, 2005, the Debtors filed a motion to approve the December 2004 PAFCA and TWU
agreements. On January 7, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Debtors motion to approve the
agreement with ALPA. The motion to approve the ALPA agreement was opposed by the Creditors
Committee, IAM, AFA, PBGC and trustees for various bond holders. On January 7, 2005, the
Bankruptcy Court denied the motion to approve the agreement with ALPA, finding that certain
incentive provisions unduly limited the rights of other parties. Specifically, the Bankruptcy
Court found objectionable ALPAs right to terminate the agreement and receive a double
administrative claim if (1) other Unions Pension Plans were not terminated; (2) exclusivity was
terminated and (3) a trustee was appointed or the case was converted to Chapter 7. As a result of
the Bankruptcy Courts refusal to approve the December 2004 ALPA agreement, the Debtors withdrew
their motion to approve their agreements with PAFCA and TWU.

(b) |
|
The Debtors Reconstituted
Agreements with ALPA, TWU, and PAFCA |
After the Bankruptcy Court denied the Debtors motion to approve the December 2004 ALPA
agreement, the Debtors and ALPA immediately recommenced negotiations to modify the ALPA CBA in a
way that would resolve the Bankruptcy Courts concerns. The Debtors and ALPA ultimately reached a
tentative agreement reconstituting the deal (the ALPA 2005 Restructuring Agreement). Pursuant to
the ALPA 2005 Restructuring Agreement, among other things, the pilot base pay rates would be
reduced by 11.8 percent, effective January 1, 2005, not to increase again until 2006, and an
incremental 6 percent defined contribution plan would be implemented. Unlike the original ALPA
agreement, the ALPA 2005 Restructuring Agreement did not contain a Double Administrative Claim or
any of the other provisions the Bankruptcy Court found objectionable..
The Debtors also reconstituted their agreements with PAFCA and TWU (respectively, the PAFCA
2005 Restructuring Agreement and TWU 2005 Restructuring Agreement). Among other things, the
PAFCA 2005 Restructuring Agreement provided for dispatcher base pay rates to be reduced
by 5.2 percent, effective January 1, 2005, with no increase until 2006, and the TWU 2005
Restructuring Agreement provided for meteorologist base pay rates to be reduced by 7.2 percent,
effective January 1, 2005. As with their December 2004 agreement with PAFCA and TWU, the Debtors
agreed to provide annual contributions to defined contribution plans averaging 5.5 percent of pay
for employees represented by TWU and 5 percent for employees represented by PAFCA.
As with their December 2004 tentative agreements, each of the ALPA, PAFCA and TWU 2005
Restructuring Agreements provided that if the Debtors should seek judicial approval to terminate
their
51
respective Pension Plans, under certain circumstances, the Unions would waive any claims that
this would violate the terms and conditions of their CBAs. These 2005 Restructuring Agreements
continued to provide that the Debtors would propose a plan of reorganization that contained New UAL
Convertible Employee Notes (totaling $550 million, $400,000 and $24,000 for ALPA, PAFCA and TWU
represented employees respectively).
During this same time period, the Debtors also announced that they were asking their SAM
employees to take further reductions in salary and benefits. Consequently, pay rates were reduced
by 4% to 11% on January 1, 2005, and changes to benefits were implemented in the first quarter.
Additional reductions to headcount were also made, and initiatives to achieve even further gains in
productivity are ongoing. In consideration, and to account for the termination of the MAPC Plan,
the Debtors have provided in their business plan to distribute New UAL Convertible Employee Notes
to SAM employees calculated using a methodology consistent with that used to calculate the New UAL
Convertible Employee Notes for ALPA, PAFCA, and TWU, totaling approximately $56 million.
Moreover, as they previously had agreed in their 2003 Restructuring Agreements, the Debtors
also agreed to provide in their plan of reorganization that their ALPA, PAFCA and TWU-represented
and SAM employee groups would share in the distributions to the Debtors unsecured creditors on
account of labor and pension-related savings achieved during the 2005 labor savings initiative.
Specifically, the Debtors agreed to propose a plan of reorganization providing for distributions to
each of these employee groups as though such groups had Unsecured Claims, calculated as follows:
(a) (i) the dollar value of 30 months of average cost reductions obtained in the Debtors 2003
labor savings initiatives with respect to each respective employee group as reasonably measured by
the Debtors labor model, plus (ii) the dollar value of 20 months of average cost reductions
obtained in the Debtors 2005 labor savings initiatives with respect to each respective employee
group as reasonably measured by the Debtors labor model, divided by (b) the sum of each respective
distribution and the total amount of all other allowed prepetition general Unsecured Claims against
the Debtors.
Each of the ALPA, TWU, and PAFCA 2005 Restructuring Agreements also provided that they could
be terminated at the option of the respective Union if a plan of reorganization is confirmed which
contains any material term that is materially inconsistent with the terms of the respective 2005
Restructuring Agreement or if the Debtors failed to achieve a specifically defined aggregate level
of cost saving from all of its other employee groups, including SAM. Each of the ALPA, TWU, and
PAFCA 2005 Restructuring Agreements was ratified by their respective Union membership and approved
by the Bankruptcy Court.15 The orders approving the ALPA, PAFCA, and TWU 2005
Restructuring
Agreements provided that judicial approval of such agreements would have the same meaning and
effect as judicial approval of the 2003 Restructuring Agreements.
The Debtors estimate that with respect to wage and related relief, they will achieve
approximately $181 million of average annual wage and related savings pursuant to the ALPA 2005
Restructuring Agreement; approximately $230,000 of average annual wage and related savings pursuant
to the TWU 2005 Restructuring Agreement; approximately $2.8 million of average annual wage and
related savings pursuant to the PAFCA 2005 Restructuring Agreement; and approximately $112 million
of average

Two parties, the United Retired Pilots Benefit
Protection Association (URPBPA) and PBGC, appealed the Bankruptcy
Courts approval of the ALPA 2005 Restructuring Agreement. The Debtors
filed motions to dismiss both appeals. On June 24, 2005, the District Court
dismissed the URPBPA appeal. On July 19, 2005, URPBPA appealed the District
Courts ruling to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The Seventh
Circuit has set a deadline for URPBPA to file its opening brief of September
16, 2005. On July 22, 2005, the District Court entered an order approving
PBGCs motion to voluntarily dismiss its appeal. |

annual wage and related savings with respect to SAM employees. Copies of the ALPA,
PAFCA, and TWU 2005 Restructuring Agreements are in the Plan Supplement, as Exhibits 19, 24, and
26, respectively.

PBGCs Commencement of
Involuntary Termination Actions Regarding the Pilot Plan |
On December 30, 2004, PBGC initiated an involuntary termination action with respect to the
Pilot Plan in the District Court. The Debtors immediately requested that the District Court refer
the matter to the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Internal Operating Procedures for the Northern
District of Illinois. The District Court entered an order referring the case to the Bankruptcy
Court over PBGCs objections. PBGCs motion to reconsider the referral order is still under
advisement with the District Court. In the interim, PBGC has filed a motion for summary judgment
in the Bankruptcy Court. United, and several other parties filed responses, and PBGC filed a reply
on August 5, 2005. On August 26, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court denied the PBGCs summary judgment
motion in part. The Court held that summary judgment was inappropriate to determine whether the
Pilot Plan should be terminated under Section 1342(a) of ERISA. However, the Court granted the
agencys motion to set the termination effective date as December 30, 2004. A trial to adjudicate
the termination issue is scheduled to commence on September 21, 2005.

Debtors 2005 Agreement with AFA,
Original 2005 Tentative Agreement with AMFA, and 1113(e) Relief
Obtained as to IAM |
Just as the Section 1113(c) trial was set to begin in early January 2005, the Debtors reached
tentative agreements with AFA (the AFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement) and AMFA on long-term wage
and related savings, though not with respect to pension relief. Among other things, the AFA 2005
Restructuring Agreement provided that flight attendant pay rates would be reduced by 9.5 percent,
effective January 7, 2005, with no increase until 2007, and termination provisions similar to those
included in the ALPA, PAFCA and TWU agreements discussed above. Under the AFA 2005 Restructuring
Agreement, the Debtors agreed that AFA-represented employees would share in the Unsecured
Distribution of New UAL Common Stock with the Debtors Unsecured Creditors. Specifically, the
Debtors agreed to propose a plan of reorganization providing for distributions to their
AFA-represented employees, as though they had Unsecured Claims, calculated as follows: (a) (i) the
dollar value of 30 months of average cost reductions obtained in the AFA 2003 Restructuring
Agreement, as reasonably measured by the Debtors labor model, plus (ii) the dollar value of 20
months of average cost reductions obtained in the AFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement as reasonably
measured by the Debtors labor model, divided by (b) the sum of the distribution and the total
amount of all other allowed prepetition general Unsecured Claims against the Debtors. A copy of
the AFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement is in the Plan Supplement, as Exhibit 17.
The AFA Restructuring Agreement was ratified by AFAs membership and approved by the
Bankruptcy Court. The order provided that judicial approval of the agreement would have the same
meaning and effect as judicial approval of the AFA 2003 Restructuring Agreement. The Debtors
estimate
that with respect to wage and related relief, they will achieve approximately $130 million of
average annual wage and related savings pursuant to the AFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement.
Among other items, the tentative agreement reached with AMFA provided that the base pay of
non-utility classifications would be reduced by 5.0 percent and the base pay of utility
classifications would be reduced by 10.0 percent, effective January 9, 2005, with no increase until
2006. AMFAs membership, however, did not approve this tentative agreement. As a result, the
Debtors were forced to file a motion under Section 1113(e) of the Bankruptcy Code to obtain interim
wage concessions from
53
AMFA, which was granted by the Bankruptcy Court on January 31, 2005. The
Bankruptcy Courts order, effective through May 31, 2005, required a temporary pay rate reduction
for AMFA-represented employees of 9.8 percent and a 25 percent reduction in sick pay for the first
15 days of any occurrence.
The Debtors also were unable to reach an agreement with IAM. However, IAM did not object to
the Debtors Section 1113(e) motion for interim wage concessions. On January 6, 2005, the
Bankruptcy Court granted the IAM Section 1113(e) order, effective through April 11, 2005 (which was
subsequently extended through July 22, 2005), requiring a temporary reduction in the base pay for
IAM-represented employees of 11.5% and a 30% reduction in sick pay.
As the Debtors were unable to reach ratified agreements in January 2005 with IAM, AMFA, and
AFA (regarding pension relief), the parties agreed to continue the Section 1113(c) trial to May 11,
2005, thus providing time for further negotiations designed to achieve consensual resolutions. The
parties agreed that if by April 11, 2005 there were no ratified agreements on long-term
cost-savings with AMFA and IAM and on pension issues with all three groups, the Debtors would
re-file their Section 1113(c) motion with respect to these issues and file a motion for voluntary
distress termination of each of the Pension Plans applicable to the employees represented by these
Unions.

PBGCs Commencement of
Involuntary Termination Actions Regarding the Ground Plan and
AFAs Notice to Terminate AFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement |
On March 11, 2005, PBGC filed an involuntary termination complaint to terminate the Ground
Plan (which covers all AMFA-represented employees and some IAM-represented employees) in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The Debtors filed a motion on March
25, 2005 to transfer venue of PBGCs action to the District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois for reference to the Bankruptcy Court.
Additionally, on April 8, 2005, AFA served notice to the Debtors of its intention to exercise
the termination provision in the 2005 AFA Restructuring Agreement. Although the Debtors believe
that AFA has no cause to terminate the 2005 AFA Restructuring Agreement, the parties agreed to and
are in the process of resolving the matter through expedited arbitration.

The Debtors Global Settlement
with PBGC and Termination of the Flight Attendant and MAPC
Pension Plans |
The Debtors continued to negotiate in good faith with AFA, IAM, and AMFA, the parties were
unable to reach a consensual resolution. Thus, on April 11, 2005, the Debtors re-filed their
motion under Section 1113(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (with respect to the AFA only on pension
issues) and filed a motion for voluntary distress termination of the MAPC and Flight Attendant
Pension Plans.
After intensive, good faith, arms-length negotiations, the Debtors and PBGC reached a global
settlement regarding the Debtors Pension Plans on April 22, 2005 (the PBGC Settlement
Agreement).
Among other things, the PBGC Settlement Agreement contemplates termination of all four
underfunded Pension Plans pursuant to Title IV of ERISA, should PBGC determine that the statutory
requirements for involuntary termination have been met as to each plan. Following any termination,
the Debtors would enter into trusteeship agreements with PBGC. Such terminations would save the
Debtors $4.4 billion of minimum required cash contributions over the next six years and $1.3
billion for 2005 alone. The Debtors and PBGC reserved the right in this agreement to continue to
explore alternatives to pension termination and to terminate the PBGC Settlement Agreement if they
decided to pursue any such alternatives. Additionally, under the PBGC Settlement Agreement, the
Debtors will be released from
54
over $990 million in alleged administrative minimum funding
contribution Claims, and almost $800 million in other alleged real dollar Claims against United
and certain of its non-debtor affiliates.
In the PBGC Settlement Agreement, United agreed that it would propose in its plan of
reorganization that PBGC would receive the following consideration: $500 million in 6% New UAL
Senior Subordinated Notes; $500 million in 8% New UAL Contingent Senior Subordinated Notes; and 500
million shares of 2% New UAL Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the PBGC Securities).
PBGC also will be allowed a single prepetition, general, unsecured unfunded liability Claim, for an
amount determined under PBGC regulations and taking into account, among other things, the joint and
several nature of the PBGCs Claims, the value provided to PBGC under the PBGC Settlement
Agreement, and PBGCs waiver of certain of its Claims under the PBGC Settlement Agreement, against
the United Estate (and not separate, joint and several Claims against each United entity) arising
from the termination of the Pension Plans. The Debtors estimate that PBGCs unfunded liability
Claim could total approximately $9.9 billion, if allowed, as calculated under PBGCs regulations.
The Creditors Committee has reserved its rights to object to PBGCs unfunded liability Claim,
including, without limitation, that it should be calculated by the prudent investor standard.
The PBGC Settlement Agreement also included other terms. The Debtors and PBGC agreed that at
the Debtors option, PBGC shall assign 45% of the distribution that it receives on account of its
Claim as directed by the Debtors. However, separate and apart from the PBGC Settlement Agreement,
the Debtors agreed to consult with the Creditors Committee prior to directing any assignment, give
10 days business notice before directing any assignment, gain Bankruptcy Court approval under the
best interest of creditors test pursuant to a de novo review, and, if the Debtors do not exercise
such discretion, then the Debtors shall direct such distribution to the unsecured Creditor body.
The parties also agreed that the Debtors would not implement any new defined benefit pension plans
for a five-year period beginning on the Effective Date. Finally, the parties agreed that if the
Bankruptcy Court confirms a plan of reorganization that does not provide for the terms of the PBGC
Settlement Agreement, or if a plan of reorganization containing such terms does not become
effective, then the terms of the PBGC Settlement Agreement are null and void as they relate to: (i)
PBGCs waiver and release of various Claims for minimum funding contributions, unfunded benefits,
and insurance premiums (other than the settlement and release of fiduciary duty Claims, if such
settlement and release already has occurred); (ii) PBGCs agreement to release any and all Liens
against any United entities; (iii) PBGCs agreement not to set off any of its Claims; (iv) PBGCs
agreement to assign 45% of the distribution it receives on account of its unfunded liability Claim
at Uniteds direction; and (v) Uniteds agreement to pay PBGCs professional fees related to the
Chapter 11 Cases.
The PBGC Settlement Agreement was a landmark achievement in the Debtors restructuring that
provided significant momentum for the Debtors emergence from Chapter 11 and their continuing
efforts to become a competitive, sustainable enterprise. On April 26, 2005, the Debtors filed an
emergency motion to approve the PBGC Settlement Agreement. Various stakeholders, including AFA,
IAM, AMFA, IFPTE, URPBPA, IFS, and certain indenture trustees, objected to the PBGC Settlement
Agreement on various grounds. On May 10, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court overruled the objections and
approved the PBGC Settlement Agreement, provided that judicial approval of such agreement would
have
the same effect as judicial approval of the 2003 Restructuring Agreements. Thereafter the
Debtors voluntarily withdrew their motion to reject the AFA CBA, as such ruling narrowed the scope
of the impending trial solely to wage and work rule issues under the AMFA and IAM CBAs.
55
IAM and AFA filed notices of appeal from the Bankruptcy Courts order approving Uniteds
settlement with PBGC (the PBGC Settlement Order).16 IAM filed a motion to dismiss its
appeal on August 11. On September 6, 2005, the District Court granted IAMs motion.
On May 20, AFA filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking a stay pending appeal of the
PBGC Settlement Order. On May 26, the Bankruptcy Court denied AFAs request for a stay. AFA next
filed its motion in the District Court for a stay pending appeal in the District Court and also
sought expedited briefing of the appeal. On June 16, the District Court denied AFAs motion
without prejudice on procedural grounds. On June 20, AFA re-filed its motion. On July 21, the
District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Courts decision. On July 25, AFA appealed the District
Courts ruling to the Seventh Circuit. AFA filed its initial brief on August 5. PBGC and United
filed their responsive briefs on August 23 and 24 respectively, and AFA filed its reply on
September 2. The Seventh Circuit has scheduled oral arguments on this matter for September 13.
Separately, on May 20, 2005, AFA filed a declaratory action against PBGC in the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia to enjoin PBGCs termination of the Flight Attendant
Plan under ERISA § 4003. On June 3, 2005, the District Court for the District of Columbia heard
extensive argument on AFAs motion for a preliminary injunction. On June 8, the District Court for
the District of Columbia denied AFAs preliminary injunction motion. The District Court for the
District of Columbia ruled that there was not a strong likelihood of success on the merits of AFAs
argument, there was no irreparable harm absent a stay, the balance of the harms did not warrant a
preliminary injunction, and a preliminary injunction was not in the publics best interest.
On June 23, 2005, PBGC issued notices of determination that the MAPC and Flight Attendant
Plans should be terminated, with termination dates of June 30, 2005. The Debtors and PBGC
subsequently entered into trusteeship agreements whereby PBGC become the statutory trustee of the
Pension Plans (such an agreement had been executed for the Ground Plan on May 23, 2005),
and the Debtors have no further duties or rights with respect to those Pension Plans.
Following PBGCs termination of the Flight Attendant Plan on June 30, AFA amended its
complaint to allege that PBGC had arbitrarily and capriciously terminated the Flight Attendant
Plan; it also seeks to restore the Flight Attendant Plan. PBGC has a deadline to file a motion for
summary judgment by October 3; AFA will have until October 23 to file its opposition and
cross-motion; PBGC will have until November 4 to file its reply and opposition to AFAs
cross-motion; and AFA will have until November 18 to file its cross-motion reply.

The Debtors AMFA Agreement |
On May 11, 2005, a trial commenced before the Bankruptcy Court on the Debtors Section 1113(c)
motion with IAM and AMFA. Throughout the duration of the trial, the parties continued to negotiate
towards a consensual resolution. Ultimately, United reached a tentative agreement with AMFA on May
16, 2005 (the AMFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement).
Pursuant to the AMFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement, which was ratified by AMFAs membership on
May 31, among other things, the pay of all AMFA-represented employees will be reduced by 3.9
percent and will not be increased until 2006. The AMFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement also

In addition, AMFA filed a notice of appeal
concerning the PBGC Settlement Order for the limited purpose of challenging the
March 11 termination date for the Ground Plan. This appeal, however, was
subsequently dismissed by agreement of the parties. |
56
provides
that AMFA will waive any Claim it may have that the termination of the Ground Plan does or would
violate the terms and conditions of the AMFA CBA or any other agreements or status quo between the
parties, and that AMFA shall not otherwise oppose Uniteds efforts to terminate the Ground Plan.
The Debtors agreed in the AMFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement to propose a plan of
reorganization with: (a) $40 million of New UAL Convertible Employee Notes for AMFA-represented
employees; and (b) provide a defined contribution plan (averaging 5.0 percent of pay) for
AMFA-represented employees. Moreover, the Debtors also agreed to propose a plan of reorganization
providing for distributions to their AMFA-represented employees, as though they had Unsecured
Claims, calculated as follows: (a) (i) the dollar value of 30 months of average cost reductions
obtained in the Debtors 2003 labor savings initiatives with respect to AMFA-represented employees
as reasonably measured by the Debtors labor model, plus (ii) the dollar value of 20 months of
average cost reductions obtained in the AMFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement as reasonably measured by
the Debtors labor model, divided by (b) the sum of the distribution and the total amount of all
other allowed prepetition general Unsecured Claims against the Debtors.
In addition, the order approving the AMFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement provided that judicial
approval of such agreement would have the same effect as judicial approval of the 2003
Restructuring Agreements. Finally, the AMFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement
provides that such agreement may be terminated at the option of the Union if a plan of reorganization is confirmed
which contains any material term that is materially inconsistent with the terms of the agreement.
On May 31, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the AMFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement.
The Debtors estimate that with respect to wage and related relief, it will achieve approximately
$96 million of average annual wage and related savings pursuant to the AMFA 2005 Restructuring
Agreement. A copy of the AMFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement is in the Plan Supplement, as Exhibit
20.
On June 10, following ratification and Bankruptcy Court approval of the AMFA 2005
Restructuring Agreement, the Debtors agreed with AMFA and PBGC to litigate the propriety of the
March 11 termination date in the context of PBGCs involuntary termination action pending in the
Eastern District of Virginia. The parties also presented the court with an agreed briefing
schedule regarding the various discovery-related issues in that action. In accordance with the
parties agreement, the Debtors and PBGC withdrew their joint motion to dismiss and the Debtors
withdrew without prejudice their motion to transfer venue. A pre-trial conference is scheduled
with respect to this matter on September 15. On June 13, AMFA and United filed a joint stipulation
to dismiss AMFAs appeal of the PBGC Settlement Order.

|
The Debtors IAM Agreement |
The Debtors also reached an agreement in principle with IAM on May 31, 2005 (the IAM 2005
Restructuring Agreement). Pursuant to the IAM 2005 Restructuring Agreement, which was ratified by
IAMs membership on July 21, among other things, the pay of most IAM-represented employees will be
reduced by 5.5 percent, effective July 1, 2005, with such pay not to begin increasing again until
2007. The IAM 2005 Restructuring Agreement also provides that IAM will withdraw with prejudice any
and all opposition to termination of the two United defined benefit pension plans in which IAM
members participate: the Ground Plan and the MAPC Plan. The Debtors agreed in the IAM 2005
Restructuring Agreement to propose a plan of reorganization with $60 million of New UAL Convertible
Employee Notes for IAM-represented employees. Moreover, the Debtors also agreed to propose a plan
of reorganization providing for distributions to their IAM-represented employees, as though they
had
Unsecured Claims, calculated as follows: (a) (i) the dollar value of 30 months of average cost
reductions in the in the Debtors 2003 labor savings initiatives with respect to IAM-represented
employees as reasonably measured by the Debtors labor model, plus (ii) the dollar value of 20
months of average cost
57
reductions in the IAM 2005 Restructuring Agreement as reasonably measured by
the Debtors labor model, divided by (b) the sum of the distribution and the total amount of all
other allowed prepetition general Unsecured Claims against the Debtors.
In addition, the order approving the IAM 2005 Restructuring Agreement provided that judicial
approval of such agreement would have the same effect as judicial approval of the 2003
Restructuring Agreements. On July 22, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the IAM 2005
Restructuring Agreement. United estimates that with respect to wage and related relief, it will
achieve approximately $163 million of average annual wage and related savings pursuant to the IAM
2005 Restructuring Agreement.17 A copy of the IAM 2005 Restructuring Agreement is in the
Plan Supplement, as Exhibit 22.
Collectively, the average labor and wage cost savings over 20 months based on the Debtors
2005 labor savings initiatives total approximately $1.1 billion.
5. Section 1110 and Fleet Restructuring
United has undertaken a comprehensive rationalization and refinancing process to contract its
fleet to match capacity with demand and reduce a substantial portion of its fleet financing
obligations to current market rates. This process has involved complying with Uniteds obligations
under the Bankruptcy Code and intensive negotiations with Uniteds aircraft financiers.
a. Section 1110 and the Automatic Stay.
In general, upon the filing of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, the automatic stay under
Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code enjoins the enforcement of rights and remedies by a debtors
creditors. Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code operates as an exception to the automatic stay for
certain types of financed aircraft and aircraft equipment.
As discussed in 0 above, the 463 aircraft in the Debtors Section 1110 Fleet were financed or
leased and are subject to Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Section 1110 Fleet). Pursuant
to Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, by February 7, 2003 (60 days after the Petition Date), the
Debtors either had to: (i) take certain statutorily prescribed actions to elect to perform their
obligations under the prepetition financing arrangements (1110(a) Elections); or (ii) enter into
agreements with the respective aircraft financiers that would allow the Debtors to continue to use
the aircraft without making such election to perform (1110(b) Stipulations), to continue the
automatic stay in effect for aircraft in the Section 1110 Fleet. On February 7, 2003, the Debtors
made 1110(a) Elections with respect to approximately 214 aircraft in the Section 1110 Fleet
(1110(a) Aircraft). The Debtors also entered into, or had agreements in principle to enter into,
1110(b) Stipulations with respect to approximately 173 aircraft in the Section 1110 Fleet. As to
the remainder of the Section 1110 Fleet, the automatic stay terminated on February 7, 2003 and the
related financiers were able to exercise their remedies and take enforcement actions.
|
|
|
17 |
|
All of the 2005 Restructuring Agreements also
reduced represented employees participation in the Debtors Success
Sharing Program. At targeted levels of performance, these changes reduce the
Debtors costs by approximately $100 million annually. |
58
b. Aircraft Rejections and Abandonment.
Also, under the Bankruptcy Code, airline debtors may reject burdensome aircraft leases and/or
financing arrangements or abandon property of their Estates. Based on a variety of factors,
including financing costs and anticipated revenues, the Debtors decided during their Chapter 11
Cases to decrease the size of their fleet. To effectuate that downsizing, the Debtors have to date
rejected, abandoned, sold, retired, or returned over 100 aircraft. The Debtors believe that, by
the Effective Date, they will operate a fleet of 453 aircraft.18
c. Auction Pool, Manufacturer, and Cross-Border Restructurings.
As discussed in ARTICLE II.B.2.a above, as of the Petition Date, the 463 financed aircraft in the Section
1110 Fleet were owned or leased by the Debtors pursuant to a broad variety of financings,
including, without limitation, mortgages, capital leases, single investor leases, leveraged leases,
Japanese leveraged leases (JLLs), German leveraged leases (GLLs) and French leveraged leases
(FLLs). To realize further cost savings, the Debtors have worked intensively during their Chapter
11 Cases to identify opportunities to reduce their fleet operating costs, quantify those
opportunities, negotiate with all necessary parties to restructure existing financing and leasing
arrangements, seek court approvals and finalize such aircraft restructurings.
To better manage the restructuring (and carry out their program of marking-to-market their
aircraft financing costs), the Debtors divided their Section 1110 Fleet into four general
categories: so-called Auction Pool Aircraft, Cross-Border Transactions, Manufacturer
Transactions, and Public Debt Aircraft. The Auction Pool Aircraft consisted of approximately 150
older Boeing aircraft financed primarily through U.S. leveraged leases, mortgages, or single
investor leases. The Cross-Border Transactions consisted of 58 newer Boeing and Airbus aircraft
financed through JLLs, GLLs and FLLs by investors in Japan, Germany, and France. The Manufacturer
Transactions consisted of approximately 97 aircraft financed by Boeing, Airbus, General Electric,
and International Aero Engines. Finally, the Public Debt Aircraft consist of a mix of
approximately 158 older and newer Boeing and Airbus aircraft financed by holders of public debt
through pass-through certificates (PTCs), equipment trust certificates (ETCs), and enhanced
equipment trust certificates (EETCs).19
As indicated, the Debtors central goal in restructuring the Auction Pool Aircraft,
Cross-Border Transactions, Manufacturer Transactions, and Public Debt Aircraft has been to reduce
their rent and other payment obligations. Towards that end, for certain of the Auction Pool
Aircraft (Boeing 737s and 767s), the Debtors engaged in a so-called reverse Dutch auction. The
Debtors offered different pricing terms for limited quotas of specific types of aircraft and the
Debtors accepted bids for the financing terms until the Debtors exhausted their quota for each
aircraft type. The Debtors did not utilize the auction format for the remainder of the Auction
Pool Aircraft (Boeing 757s and 747s), the Cross-Border, Manufacturer, and Public Debt deals. For
the entire Section 1110 Fleet, however, the aircraft financiers were offered the opportunity to
enter into long-term restructured financing arrangements at reduced rates that the Debtors believe
reflect current market rates.
|
|
|
18 |
|
Nothing in this Disclosure Statement constitutes a
commitment by United as to the number of rejections or abandonments that will
occur prior to substantial consummation of the Plan or a commitment as to the
projected size of its aircraft fleet as of the effective date of the Plan or
for any period thereafter. |
|
19 |
|
Approximately 17 aircraft from the Auction Pool
Aircraft that were financed through private transactions ultimately migrated to
the Public Debt Aircraft, largely because of cross-holdings between various
transactions. |
59
The restructurings for the Auction Pool Aircraft, Cross-Border Transactions, Manufacturer
Transactions, and Public Debt Aircraft were effectuated either by terminating the existing
arrangement and entering into new financings or amending the prepetition financing structures (the
Postpetition Aircraft Agreements). In general, as part of the Postpetition Aircraft Agreements,
other than with respect to the Public Debt Aircraft, the Debtors have reserved their right to
terminate and reject the restructured financing arrangements during the Chapter 11 Cases (up until
substantial Consummation of the Plan) as the Debtors fleet plan evolved. Also, as part of the
Postpetition Aircraft Agreements, the Debtors sought to settle the Administrative and prepetition
Unsecured Claims of the aircraft financiers. For the Manufacturer Transactions, the aircraft
financiers waived their prepetition Claims in whole or in part so long as the Debtors did not
terminate or reject the restructured agreements.
Auction Pool Restructurings. Generally, the Postpetition Aircraft Agreements for the Auction
Pool Aircraft contemplate converting the former financing arrangements into operating leases at
rates the Debtors believe reflect current market rates. These leases generally have 2 to 9-year
terms with certain renewal options.
Cross Border Restructurings. The Cross-Border Transactions were structured to permit the
investors to take advantage of certain favorable tax laws in their home jurisdictions. From
Uniteds standpoint, each transaction was tantamount to a mortgage financing. During the course of
the Chapter 11 Cases, the majority of these Cross-Border Transactions were amended to provide debt
relief (in the form of principal reductions and/or deferrals) and/or interest rate reductions.
These Postpetition Aircraft Agreements have maturities of 9 to 11 years after the Effective Date.
No aircraft secures more than one note. Generally, the notes provide for semi-annual payments of
principal and interest.
Manufacturer Restructurings. The Manufacturer Transactions were structured in a variety of
ways. Certain of the Manufacturer Transactions were restructured entirely into a combination of
leasing and mortgage transactions bearing rates that the Debtors believe reflect current market
rates. Other manufacturer restructurings involved amendment of existing lease facilities, which
effectively reduced the rentals to current market rates. These mortgage and lease transactions
have maturities ranging from 2 to 17 years after the Effective Date.
Of the 303 aircraft included in the Auction Pool Aircraft, the Cross Border Transactions, and
the Manufacturer Transactions, 267 will be subject to postpetition restructuring transactions.
d. Public Debt Aircraft
While United successfully negotiated Postpetition Aircraft Agreements with individual
financiers for the Auction Pool Aircraft, the Cross-Border Transactions, and the Manufacturer
Transactions, the financiers and other individuals and entities representing the Public Debt
Aircraft refused to negotiate with United individually and, instead, formed a group the Public
Debt Group (PDG) that elected to conduct coordinated negotiations.
During the first six months of these cases, United negotiated so-called Adequate Protection
Stipulations with the PDG (in connection with this effort, certain of the Auction Pool Aircraft
were included with the Public Debt Aircraft due to common holding by the applicable financiers).
Pursuant to these stipulations, United generally agreed to pay for the use of the Public Debt
Aircraft during the Chapter 11 Cases until the rejection or abandonment of such aircraft and/or
termination of the applicable Adequate Protection Stipulation. Portions of such payments were
deferred until fall 2003 or spring 2004, at which time United caught-up on these deferred payments
through six equal monthly installments. The Adequate Protection Stipulations also provided that in
settlement of certain Claims asserted under Section
60
1110(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors had to make certain payments (with administrative
priority) starting in March 2004, to be paid in 6 equal monthly installments.
After Bankruptcy Court approval of the Adequate Protection Stipulations, United entered into
negotiations with the PDG on a long-term resolution. Negotiations with the PDG initially
culminated in a draft global restructuring agreement in principle dated February 13, 2004. This
first agreement with the PDG, however, contemplated securing a loan guaranty from the ATSB for the
Debtors exit financing. The ATSBs denial of the Debtors loan guaranty application on June 17,
2004, discussed above in ARTICLE III.C.4, and other adverse economic developments eventually led
United to elect not to proceed with the February 13, 2004 agreement.
The ATSBs denial, as well as greatly increased fuel costs and fare reductions, forced United
to develop a new business plan and led to a several-month hiatus in negotiations with the PDG. By
November 2004, the Debtors had completed this process, and United advised the PDG that it would be
forwarding new proposals. Nonetheless, on November 23 and 24, 2004, the PDG sent formal demands
for immediate repossession of fourteen aircraft pursuant to Section 1110(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.
On November 26, 2004, United filed a verified complaint for injunctive relief and moved for a
temporary restraining order (TRO) on antitrust grounds to enjoin the PDGs repossessions and
collusive behavior. On that same day, the Bankruptcy Court, after an evidentiary hearing, entered
a TRO, finding that Uniteds showing of irreparable harm was undisputed and that United had shown a
likelihood of success on its antitrust Claims. The Bankruptcy Court set a preliminary injunction
hearing for December 15, 2004.
In connection with the parties preparation for the preliminary injunction hearing, the PDG
representatives advised United that they were withholding on grounds of attorney-client privilege
all communications among members of the PDG. On December 8, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court granted
Uniteds motion to compel production of such documents and ordered immediate production for in
camera review of documents withheld on privilege grounds. In response, PDG representatives advised
the Bankruptcy Court that they would not comply and requested that the court hold them in contempt
to facilitate an immediate appeal. The Bankruptcy Court accommodated this request by entering a
contempt order. The Bankruptcy Court also entered an agreed order continuing the TRO and the
preliminary injunction hearing while the PDG appealed the contempt ruling. Thereafter, the PDG
contemporaneously moved to withdraw the reference to the District Court and appealed both the
contempt order and the November 26, 2004 TRO to the District Court. On December 9, 2004, the
District Court denied the PDGs motion to withdraw the reference. In addition, in opinions dated
March 18, 2005, the District Court dismissed both appeals on the ground that they involved a
non-appealable, interlocutory order. The District Court also declined to accept the appeals on a
discretionary basis. Thereafter, the PDG petitioned the Seventh Circuit for a writ of mandamus.
On May 6, 2005, the Seventh Circuit granted the PDGs writ of mandamus on the TRO (and denied
the writ as to the contempt order). The Seventh Circuit reversed the Bankruptcy Court and the
District Court and ordered the District Court to dissolve the TRO injunction. After the Seventh
Circuits Order issued, the Debtors moved to dismiss the antitrust complaint. The Creditors
Committee opposed the motion, arguing that dismissal would amount to abandonment of a valuable
asset of the Estates, and contemporaneously sought leave to prosecute the action. On May 20, 2005,
the Bankruptcy Court denied the dismissal motion on the grounds that the Claims stated in the
complaint had value. The PDG thereafter filed a motion with the Seventh Circuit to enforce its May
6 opinion. On May 27, 2005, the Seventh Circuit issued an order granting the PDGs enforcement
motion and providing that the injunction
should be dissolved immediately and the antitrust action dismissed. On June 1, 2005, the
Bankruptcy
61
Court dismissed the antitrust action with prejudice and denied the Creditors
Committees motion for leave to prosecute. The Creditors Committee has appealed both of those
rulings to the District Court. As of the date hereof, those appeals are pending in the District
Court. Also, the Seventh Circuit denied the Creditors Committees motion for rehearing en banc of
the decision to grant the writ of mandamus. The Creditors Committee has now filed a petition for
certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the mandamus decision. United will
file a response on September 7.
Although Uniteds antitrust complaint has been dismissed, the PDG filed a series of
counterclaims against United for damages. United subsequently moved to dismiss those
counterclaims. On July 15, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court dismissed these counterclaims with
prejudice. The PDG filed a notice of appeal with respect to this order on July 27, 2005.
By the time of the Seventh Circuits ruling, United already had rejected six of the fourteen
aircraft subject to the TRO, leaving eight B767 aircraft unresolved. Ultimately, United could not
reach agreement with the PDG to retain the 1993A PTC and 1993C PTC aircraft (four B767s), which
United was required to return in compliance with the demands of the PDG. With respect to the
remaining four Jets 95A aircraft, United successfully negotiated to purchase and retain those
aircraft in its fleet and, ultimately, entered into an arrangement to finance the purchase.

|
Section 365(d)(10) Litigation |
In addition to the antitrust litigation, United and the PDG litigated the amount and extent of
Uniteds postpetition obligations for use of the Public Debt Aircraft. On December 5, 2003, the
PDG filed a motion seeking administrative expense payments under Sections 365(d)(10), 503(b)(1)(A)
and 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code for fifteen leased aircraft that the Debtors rejected (in addition
to the payments under the Adequate Protection Stipulations) (the 365(d)(10) Motion). These PDG
argued that the foregoing Bankruptcy Code provisions require the Debtors to compensate them for the
difference between the prepetition lease rates for the 15 rejected aircraft and the adequate
protection payments that the Debtors agreed to pay the aircraft financiers for their postpetition
use of the aircraft. The PDG also sought administrative expense payments pursuant to Sections
365(d)(10) and 1110(a) on account of the Debtors alleged failure to comply with the maintenance
and return conditions specified in the prepetition leases.
The Debtors opposed the aircraft financiers motion by arguing, among other things, that the
Bankruptcy Code does not require the Debtors to compensate the aircraft financiers at rates out of
line with present economic reality, particularly when the parties entered into arms-length
Adequate Protection Stipulations to compensate the aircraft financiers for the Debtors
postpetition use of the aircraft. Moreover, the Debtors have asserted that Section 365(d)(10) is
inapplicable in the Section 1110 context, in the absence of a Section 365(d)(10) election, and that
even if it were applicable, the equities of the case under Section 365(d)(10) clearly dictate
that the aircraft financiers should not be awarded contract rate payments for the rejected
aircraft. In this regard, the Debtors have argued, among other things, that such an award would
amount to a windfall for the aircraft financiers, who, unlike the personal property lessors Section
365(d)(10) was designed to protect, were not restricted by the automatic stay and had an unbridled
right to take back their equipment after sixty days had passed in the bankruptcy case. The
365(d)(10) Motion was continued from time to time as United and the PDG attempted to settle the
365(d)(10) Motion as part of a global restructuring.
On November 5, 2004, and again on June 3, 2005, the PDG amended their 365(d)(10) Motion to
include additional aircraft rejected by United and new Claims. In opposing the PDGs original
365(d)(10)
Motion and the amended motion filed on November 5, 2004, the Debtors filed a motion to dismiss
certain of the PDGs Claims. In particular, the Debtors sought to dismiss as a matter of law the
PDGs Claims
62
for Uniteds alleged failure to return the rejected aircraft in compliance with
certain obligations under the prepetition leases and for additional adequate protection based on
maintenance burn. On December 20, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors motion, in
part. The Bankruptcy Court treated the motion to dismiss as a motion in limine with respect to the
trial scheduled on the 365(d)(10) Motion. (At that time, the trial was scheduled for March 1,
2005, but it has been continued from time-to-time to allow for negotiations.) The Bankruptcy Court
ordered that the PDG could not present evidence at the trial relating to: any lack of adequate
protection after termination of the automatic stay; or any breach of return obligations involving
failure of United to maintain the aircraft according to obligations in existence during the period
prior to rejection of the leases. The PDGs amended motion filed on June 3, 2005 reasserted the
same arguments (for additional aircraft) as to which the Bankruptcy Court ruled that the PDG could
not present evidence in connection with the November 5 amended motion. As a result, the Debtors
opposed the June 3, 2005 amended motion arguing, in part, that the PDG was barred by the law of the
case from making such adequate protection and maintenance arguments.
On July 7, 2005, the parties filed their preliminary pretrial statement on the 365(d)(10)
Motion. The pretrial statement contained both the PDGs and the Debtors statements of their
respective positions and the evidence they intended to introduce at trial. Subsequently, at the
July 11, 2005 pretrial hearing on the 365(d)(10) Motion, the Bankruptcy Court requested briefing on
the threshold legal question of whether Section 365(d)(10) is applicable to leased aircraft for
which United had not made elections under Section 1110(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. After briefing
by the parties, the Bankruptcy Court opined, on July 26, 2005, that failure to elect to perform
under Section 1110(a) likely results in a de facto rejection and, that, Section 365(d)(10) ceases
to apply to non-Section 1110(a) aircraft after the 60th day of the bankruptcy case. The
Bankruptcy Court indicated that it would follow with a written opinion on the issue. As of the
date hereof, if the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the global settlement with the PDG discussed
below, trial is set for October 17, 2005, on the remaining issues in connection with the 365(d)(10)
Motion, including the market value for Uniteds use of the subject aircraft during the Chapter 11
Cases and Uniteds alleged failure to comply with return conditions.

|
Global Settlement with PDG |
In June, July, and August 2005, the pace of negotiations with the PDG accelerated. Several
factors contributed to the urgency of reaching a settlement. Among other things, the Seventh
Circuits ruling dissolving the Bankruptcy Courts injunction and ordering the Debtors antitrust
complaint dismissed left the Debtors with no ability whatsoever to forestall repossessions or
impair the PDGs rights. Together with the improving market for aircraft and Uniteds limited
ability to tolerate additional repossessions, there was a considerable alteration of the balance of
leverage subsequent to the Seventh Circuits orders. Unless United quickly could come to terms
with the PDG, the very real threat existed of repossession of some or all of the remaining at
risk Public Debt Aircraft, resulting in substantial operational disruption and passenger
disservice and increased likelihood of liquidation, as the Debtors would be unable to timely and
effectively replace the lost aircraft capacity. Manifesting these unfavorable developments, in
July 2005, the Debtors received § 1110(c) demands for 15 aircraft (eight B747s and seven B767s),
with the PDG expressing a clear willingness to follow through on those repossession threats.
On August 5, 2005, after over two years of negotiation, the Debtors entered into a long-term
global settlement as to all of the Public Debt Aircraft, other than those securing the 1997-1 EETCs
(discussed below) (the PDG Settlement). The Debtors estimate that the settlement will save the
Estates over $2.9 billion (present value as of the Petition Date) over the life of the PDG
Settlement. During the
2003-2008 period, the Debtors have or will realize approximately $300 million in annual
savings from the Public Debt Aircraft. During that same period, when coupled with the Debtors
other aircraft
63
restructurings (from the Auction Pool, Manufacturer, and Cross-Border groups), the
Debtors will reduce their fleet costs by approximately $850 million in average annual savings from
2003-2008.
With respect to the 58 pre-1997 Public Debt Aircraft, the PDG Settlement contemplates
restructuring the financings by converting the structures to operating lease transactions having
terms ranging from 9.4 to 11.3 years. With respect to the 86 post-1997 EETC Public Debt Aircraft,
the Debtors will issue a new note for each aircraft with the original contractual coupon rate and
maturities ranging from 6.25 to 7.2 years. Finally, certain of the restructured financings will
incorporate, inter alia, cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions. All of the
restructured PDG transactions will include representations and warranties and default, loss,
return, insurance, inspection, maintenance, filing, and indemnification provisions. Unlike the
other Postpetition Aircraft Agreements, United cannot unilaterally terminate the arrangement and
return the aircraft. The PDG Settlement further contemplates the following additional terms:
|
|
|
revised payment schedules for each transaction; |
|
|
|
|
deferral of remedies by the PDG and suspension of any pending § 1110(c) demands; |
|
|
|
|
restructuring of the prepetition agreements governing the restructured transactions; |
|
|
|
|
the Debtors agreement not to reject leases of or abandon any additional Public
Debt Aircraft (45 already have been rejected or abandoned and 7 repossessed); |
|
|
|
|
settlement and release of all PDG Administrative Claims (whether under Code § §
362, 363, 365, 503, 506, 507, or 1110 or otherwise), including all Claims asserted
in the 365(d)(10) Motion and the antitrust litigation, in consideration for: |
|
|
|
the rates paid by the Debtors under the PDG Settlement; |
|
|
|
|
an aggregate additional payment of $65 million to be shared solely among the
pre-1997 Public Debt Aircraft transactions (as determined by the PDG);20 |
|
|
|
|
additional principal and interest payments made in the post-1997 EETCs;
and |
|
|
|
|
subject to and in accordance with the PBGC Settlement Order, the Debtors
directing PBGC to assign for the benefit of (and allocated among) the pre-1997
PDG transactions (as determined by the controlling holders of those
transactions) $0.50 of each dollar of value derived from 45% of PBGCs unfunded
benefit liability claim in an aggregate amount up to, but in no event to
exceed, $100 million (the PBGC Claim Proceeds), with no guarantee by the
Debtors of the proceeds actually obtained from PBGCs claim and no obligation
to top-off the actual PBGC Claim Proceeds realized under the settlement if less
than $100 million; |
|
|
|
20 |
|
The Debtors and the trustees for pre-1997
non-restructured transactions in the PDG (those with no remaining aircraft
operated by the Debtors) have entered into a letter agreement dated as of
August 5, 2005, whereby parties to such transactions have agreed to resolve the
issue of the allocation described in the letter agreement among themselves and
without any involvement by the Debtors. |
64
|
|
|
settlement of the PDGs general Unsecured Claims in the aggregate amount of
approximately $3.1 billion, other than the PDGs Unsecured Claims under the
1997-EETC transaction; |
|
|
|
|
payment by the Debtors of all reasonable costs, fees, and expenses of the PDG,
including those of their counsel and technical, financial and other professional
advisors; |
|
|
|
|
performance of certain maintenance obligations (per a detailed schedule) by the
Debtors and the posting of security by the Debtors if they default on such
maintenance obligations (along with the granting of a super-priority Administrative
Claim in the amount of the cost of such unperformed obligations); |
|
|
|
|
conforming the rates paid on 1110(a) aircraft with the rates under the PDG
Settlement; |
|
|
|
|
amending the Adequate Protection Stipulations to conform with the terms of the
PDG Settlement in certain respects; |
|
|
|
|
the purchase of six of the Public Debt Aircraft; and |
|
|
|
|
a permanent release (and injunction) by United and any other entity or person of
all claims or causes of action against the PDG and its agents, counsel, and
advisors relating to the Public Debt Aircraft transactions and the settlements and
compromises under the PDG Settlement, or the implementation thereof, including
without limitation any cause of action or claims arising out of claims of
inequitable conduct or antitrust violations (the Permanent Release). |
Other than with respect to the 1997-1 EETC transaction, the PDG Settlement fully and finally
resolves and disposes of all litigation between the Debtors and the PDG. The PDG Settlement
provides that the transactions contemplated therein will be incorporated into the Plan and shall be
final and binding postpetition obligations of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, subject to
certain Unwind Events. In the event of such Unwind Events, including conversion to chapter 7 or
failure by the Debtors to obtain confirmation of the Plan by June 30, 2006, the agreements and
transactions contemplated by the PDG Settlement, other than the Permanent Release, shall be unwound
and rescinded and the parties respective rights, claims, obligations, and defenses would be
restored. Notwithstanding the Permanent Release, if an Unwind Event occurs, any defenses or
offsets of the Debtors existing prior to the Unwind Event (but for the releases and waivers under
the PDG Settlement) are preserved, so long as United does not seek any affirmative recovery against
the PDG.
On August 30, 2005, the Debtors and the PDG filed a joint motion to approve the PDG
Settlement. The motion will be heard by the Bankruptcy Court on September 27, 2005.
The 1997-1 EETCs are backed by equipment notes which are in turn secured by mortgages and
leases on 14 Public Debt Aircraft. Three tranches of 1997-1 EETCs were publicly owned: the senior,
A tranche and the subordinated B and C tranches. Unlike in other PDG transactions, the A
tranche holders did not have any cross-holdings in the B and C tranches, and the B and C tranche
EETCs were owned by one holder. Although the B and C tranche holdings gained significantly in
value during the Chapter 11 Cases, due to the substantial paydown of the par value of the A tranche
debt through Adequate Protection Stipulation payments and the 1997-1 EETC aircraft retaining their
value, the Debtors were able
to negotiate a buyout of the B and C tranches for less than face value. Upon purchasing the B
and C
65
tranche EETCs, the Debtors could exercise the contractual right afforded junior lien holders
to buy out the senior tranche holders at par. The Debtors purchase of the A tranche EETCs would
allow the Debtors to become the controlling party in the transaction, avoid the possibility of
repossession of aircraft, and refinance the 1997-1 EETC transaction.
The Debtors strategy was aided by United obtaining the Tranche C term loan pursuant to the
Thirteenth Amendment to the Club DIP Facility (approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 18, 2005
and discussed above). Once the purchase of the A certificates is consummated, the Debtors expect
to refinance the Tranche C loan, such that the cash flows required to service the restructured
1997-1 debt would be substantially more attractive than that which would be required should the B
and C Tranches be acquired by a likely unfriendly third party (either affiliated or unaffiliated
with the PDG). If, on the other hand, the Debtors could not have purchased the B and C tranches,
and ownership of the A, B, and C tranches became common, it is likely that the holders of the B and
C Tranches would have demanded a recovery equal to or greater than the current fair market value of
the aircraft, and potentially seek closer to a 100% recovery.
On July 27, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors direct purchase of the B and C
tranches. On August 4, 2005, the Debtors filed a motion for approval of the purchase the A tranche
at par under the transaction documents for $292,787,446. On August 8, 2005, the Court granted the
Debtors motion. As required under the transaction documents, the Debtors issued a buyout notice
to the trustee for the 1997-1 EETC transaction. However, the trustee declined to allow the Debtors
to consummate the purchase the A tranche EETCs, contending that the Debtors had to pay a New York
statutory judgment rate of 9% rather than the stated interest rate on the Class A EETCs of LIBOR
plus 22 basis. The trustees calculation increased the purchase price by $65 million.
Subsequently, purporting to exercise its remedies under the Adequate Protection Stipulation, the
trustee notified the Debtors of a purported sale of the underlying equipment notes in the 1997-1
EETC transaction to a special purpose vehicle for a price that reflected the judgment rate asserted
by the trustee. If allowed, such a sale would, in the Debtors view, circumvent the Debtors
rights as holders of the lower tranche 1997-1 EETCs to buy out the A tranche at par and undermine
the savings the Debtors hoped to achieve by purchasing the B and C tranche EETCs.
In response to the trustees actions, the Debtors filed a motion on August 13, 2005 seeking to
nullify the sale of the equipment notes. Concurrently, United initiated an adversary proceeding to
enforce the underlying transaction documents, obtain a declaration as to the proper A tranche
buyout price, and enjoin the trustee from preventing United from consummating its restructuring of
the 1997-1 EETC transaction. On August 26, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court held that the purported sale
of the equipment notes was in violation of the automatic stay set forth in Section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code and therefore, void and of no effect. As of the date hereof, the litigation
regarding the appropriate buyout price remains pending and United has not consummated its purchase
of the A tranche EETCs. Discussions regarding a settlement of this dispute have occurred from time
to time. The resolution of this dispute is uncertain.
e. Treatment of Aircraft Claims Under Plan.
The Debtors Section 1110 Fleet generally falls into seven (in some cases, overlapping)
categories for purposes of determining treatment of aircraft-related Claims under the Plan: (1)
aircraft subject to Section 1110(a) Elections; (2) aircraft subject to 1110(b) Stipulations; (3)
Public Debt Aircraft; (4) aircraft that have been abandoned or rejected with no agreement for
subsequent re-lease or re-purchase of such aircraft by the Debtors; (5) aircraft subject to leases
assumed under the Plan; (6) owned
aircraft subject to secured financings that will be reinstated under the Plan; or (7)
non-Public Debt Aircraft subject to Postpetition Aircraft Agreements approved by the Bankruptcy
Court that authorize the
66
Debtors to restructure prepetition aircraft financing arrangements by
either rejecting, modifying, or amending such arrangements.
Aircraft Creditors with Claims relating to aircraft in each of the seven categories will
receive such treatment as to which the Debtors and the Holder of such Claims shall have agreed in
writing. In addition, aircraft Creditors with aircraft rejected or abandoned (Category 4) may have
Unsecured Rejected Aircraft Claims, subject to the Creditors Committees right to object (if any),
consisting primarily of deficiency Claims in the case of mortgaged aircraft and lease rejection
Claims in the case of leased aircraft. Aircraft Creditors in Category 5 may have Administrative
Claims relating to the Cure and prospective obligations under the assumed leases that will become
obligations of the Reorganized Debtors. Secured Claims relating to aircraft in Category 6 either
will be (i) Reinstated under the Plan, (ii) treated in such manner as United or Reorganized United
and the Secured Aircraft Creditor may have agreed in writing, (iii) treated in any other manner so
that such Claim shall otherwise be rendered Unimpaired pursuant to Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy,
or (iv) the Debtors shall surrender the collateral securing such Claims.
With respect to aircraft Creditors in Category 7 entering into Postpetition Aircraft
Agreements, the Debtors and the aircraft Creditors either have entered, or will enter, into
definitive documentation pursuant to which, among other things: the Debtors may reject, amend
and/or restructure the applicable prepetition financing arrangement; the Debtors may surrender
constructive possession of the aircraft; and the aircraft Creditors may re-lease or transfer the
applicable aircraft to the Debtors and enter into definitive documentation that allows the Debtors
to continue to operate the aircraft. Aircraft Creditors in Category 3, Public Debt Aircraft, will
be treated in accordance with the PDG Settlement and any definitive documentation executed in
connection with such settlement. In connection with the Postpetition Aircraft Agreements
effectuated by the term sheets and definitive documentation, other than with respect to Category 3
Creditors, the parties may have or stipulate to, subject to the Creditors Committees right to
object (if any), Unsecured Retained Aircraft Claims and/or Administrative Claims on account of the
prepetition aircraft financing arrangement. As to the Category 3 Creditors, if the Bankruptcy
Court approves the PDG Settlement, the Creditors Committee will not have the right to object to
the Claims of the Category 3 Creditors allowed as part of the PDG Settlement. Any Administrative
Claims will be paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms of the Postpetition Aircraft
Agreement and will, when paid, be in full satisfaction and discharge of any and all Administrative
Claims of the aircraft Creditors, including, without limitation, for the use of the applicable
aircraft after the Petition Date. Aircraft Creditors in Category 3 also will receive such other
consideration as set forth in the PDG Settlement.
Nothing in the Plan shall discharge any Aircraft Financiers Lien against any aircraft,
insofar as preservation of such Liens is necessary under applicable nonbankruptcy law to effect
foreclosure, or impair the ability to foreclose upon any such Lien or credit bid any Claim against
such aircraft. Any foreclosure or exercise of related remedies permitted under the Plan must be
subject in all respects to the Postpetition Aircraft Agreements, and underlying term sheets and
definitive documentation, which shall survive and be fully enforceable notwithstanding any such
foreclosure or other exercise of related remedies. Any Secured Claim against an aircraft shall
survive to the extent required for the purpose of permitting foreclosure on such aircraft. Where
such foreclosure is contemplated and is necessary to effectuate the Postpetition Aircraft
Agreements, then immediately upon obtaining constructive possession of any aircraft, the aircraft
financier (or its trustee), as owner of such aircraft or secured party, and, if applicable, in the
exercise of its rights and duties to maximize the value of such aircraft, will abide by and perform
under the Postpetition Aircraft Agreements, if any, and lease or transfer such aircraft to the
Debtors, as applicable. Obligations under the Postpetition Aircraft Agreements will become
obligations of the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the Postpetition Aircraft
Agreements.

6. United Express
The Debtors United Express® service is provided by regional airlines pursuant to United
Express agreements. These airlines offer approximately 2,000 flights per day to over 150
destinations across the United States. Flights are scheduled to connect to United mainline and
Star Alliance departures as part of the Debtors hub-and-spoke system. Current United Express
regional airline operators include SkyWest Airlines, AWAC, Mesa, Trans States, Republic Airlines,
Chautauqua Airlines, and Shuttle America, Inc. United recently announced an agreement in principle
with Colgan Air to start providing United Express service by adding six Saab 340 turboprop aircraft
to the United Express fleet.
On the Petition Date, United had contractual agreements for flying with three regional
airlines. In general, these contracts were at above-market rates, the services provided were
bundled in an uneconomical way, forcing United to use the same vendors for flying and ground
services, and the fleet was not structured for optimal utilization. During the bankruptcy, United
restructured its entire United Express operation and has achieved significant reductions in its
cost structure, flexibility in the contract structure and an optimized fleet. This restructuring
occurred in three distinct phases.
In the first phase, which began in February 2003, United initiated a benchmarking process to
determine what rates it should be paying to United Express carriers in order to mark to market
its costs. Once this process was completed, United began renegotiating all of its contractual
agreements with its regional airline partners. At this stage, all carriers but one ACA made
efforts to reduce their own costs and ultimately renegotiated their rates to market levels. At the
same time, United began to change its United Express fleet mix by adding 70-seat regional jets for
the first time, to complement its existing 50-seat regional jets and turboprops. Also, United
Express began the process of de-linking flying and ground handling services, to further drive down
costs. As a consequence, renegotiated flying contracts were signed with SkyWest and AWAC, and a
contract was signed with new regional partner Mesa. At the same time, it became apparent that
Uniteds largest United Express regional partner, ACA, was unable or unwilling to reduce its cost
structure, and it ultimately decided to reconstitute itself as an independent low-fare airline.
Consequently, United Express negotiated a transition agreement with ACA, which provided for a
phased withdrawal of ACA aircraft from the fleet, plus transitioning ground handling at 27
airports. The transition was completed in late 2004.
As a result of the ACA transition, United needed to replace ACAs 115 aircraft, and therefore
United signed agreements with new regional carrier partners Trans States and Chautauqua/Republic,
and added capacity from existing carriers SkyWest, Mesa, and AWAC. These first phase changes were
expected to drive significant and growing annual contribution improvements, projected to be
approximately $380 million by 2009.
Each of the new carriers or existing carriers adding aircraft (except AWAC) also had to make
commitments to aircraft manufacturers to build new planes, and therefore their contracts were
either assumed by the Debtors, or were post-petition agreements. AWACs contract was not assumed.
To take advantage of a continuing decline in the rate of fifty seat capacity in the regional jet
market, in late 2004 the Debtors initiated an RFP process whereby the flying being done by AWAC
was put up for competitive bidding, in order to further mark to market United Express costs.
During the process, AWACs bid was not competitive with other carriers. Ultimately AWAC, rather
than attempting to improve its bid, chose to sign an agreement to fly as a regional carrier for US
Airways.
As a result, United negotiated a transition agreement with AWAC, and AWACs flying for United
Express will be completed at the end of April 2006. As a result of the AWAC transition, aided by a
motion filed by the Creditors Committee, United was able to recoup approximately $22 million held
by AWAC pursuant to a provision of its United Express agreement. In the meantime, United secured
68
replacement flying capacity from existing regional partners SkyWest, Mesa and Republic, and signed
an agreement with a new partner, GoJet. In the course of this process, United Express opted not to
replace the entire 80 AWAC aircraft, but, because of high fuel costs and a desire to further
optimize its fleet mix, has only replaced 63 aircraft. The current United Express fleet plan
includes 105 70-seat regional jets up from 85 prior to the AWAC RFP, which allows United Express
to operate more efficiently and economically overall. In total, the 2004-05 RFP (second phase)
process is projected to generate significant additional annual contribution improvements,
approximately $100 million by 2009.
In addition to reducing the cost of regional jet capacity, United also engaged providers of
ground handling services to secure savings. This process started in 2003, with the unbundling of
services provided by Uniteds flying partners. In 2004, United negotiated an overall ground
handling agreement with flying partner SkyWest that continued its current ground handling
responsibilities and added ground handling responsibilities in Denver. United then focused on
lowering costs for ground handling in Chicago and the other airports then handled by AWAC. In
Chicago, United concluded that with the lower wage rates and more flexible work rules it had
negotiated with its own work groups, OHare ground handling could be brought in-house at
significant savings. For the remainder of the AWAC stations, an RFP resulted in lower rates from a
combination of Air Serve, SkyWest and AWAC bids. As a result of all these ground handling
negotiations, United will generate projected annual savings and contribution improvements of almost
$40 million by 2009.
In summary, United has effectively reduced the cost of the United Express program in three
distinct efforts: (1) the 2003 benchmarking/restructure process; (2) the 2004 AWAC RFP process; and
(3) the ground handling restructure process. In total, the work now completed on United Express
costs will result in savings and contribution improvements of approximately $520 million by 2009.
7. Municipal Bonds
United leases several airport facilities financed, in whole or in part, by tax-exempt special
facilities revenue bonds issued on behalf of United (Municipal Bonds). As of December 31, 2004,
approximately $1.7 billion in Municipal Bonds were outstanding. Pursuant to the Municipal Bond
financing agreements, United had to fund amounts sufficient to cover semi-annual interest payments,
premium (if any), and principal payable at maturity, on the Municipal Bonds. Based upon its review
and analysis, United determined that none of its Municipal Bond obligations were lease obligations;
rather they constitute pre-petition, general Unsecured Claims (or possibly in some cases partially
Secured Claims). Therefore, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, United cannot pay such Claims during
the Chapter 11 Cases absent specific authority from the Bankruptcy Court. However, a number of
Municipal Bond trustees disagreed with Uniteds conclusions as to certain of the issuances, viewing
Uniteds obligations as rent under various so-called leases, payable during the Chapter 11 Cases
under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
From the outset of these Chapter 11 Cases, United has refused to make any postpetition
payments under the Municipal Bond arrangements that the trustees allege are rent payable under
Section 365. United brought four actions in the Bankruptcy Court seeking a declaration that the
lease instruments under certain Municipal Bond arrangements constitute disguised financings
that United need not assume. Inasmuch as the Bankruptcy Court recharacterizes such leases as
pre-petition financing obligations, any post-petition payments owed thereunder are pre-petition
Claims dischargeable under the Plan. On March 30, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court issued rulings on
cross-motions for summary judgment
filed in four of the adversary proceedings filed by United. In three of the adversary
proceedings, relating to Municipal Bond obligations for San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York
facilities, the Bankruptcy Court found that the underlying contracts were disguised financings.
In the Denver adversary proceeding, the Bankruptcy Court found the underlying obligation to be a
true lease. On appeal, the
69
District Court reversed the Bankruptcy Court on the San Francisco and
Los Angeles adversary proceedings and affirmed on the New York and Denver adversary proceedings.
The District Courts rulings on all four matters were appealed to the Seventh Circuit. On July 26,
2005, the Seventh Circuit ruled in connection with the San Francisco matter, holding that the
underlying transaction was not a true lease, but rather a disguised financing. On August 23,
the Seventh Circuit denied the defendants petitions for rehearing and hearing en banc.
Briefing had been suspended in connection with the Los Angeles, New York and Denver appeals
pending the determination of the San Francisco appeal and further order of the Seventh Circuit. On
August 18, the Seventh Circuit affirmed per curiam the District Courts judgment that the JFK
transaction was not a true lease. Also on August 18, the Seventh Circuit set the following
briefing schedules for the Los Angeles and Denver appeals. Uniteds opening briefs are due on
September 26; the defendants responsive briefs are due on October 26; and Uniteds reply brief is
due on November 9. The Seventh Circuit also indicated that oral argument on the Los Angeles and
Denver appeals would be heard on the same day and by the same panel, but did not set a date for
oral argument.
United also has litigated its obligations under all seven of its Municipal Bond issues
relating to its facilities at OHare. The Chicago Municipal Bond adversary proceeding involves a
different issue than the recharacterization litigation discussed above. In particular, pursuant to
that certain Airport Use Agreement between the City of Chicago and United, United has exclusive
use and occupancy of Terminal Buildings No. 1 and 2 at OHare. The Airport Use Agreement contains
a cross-default provision, section 27.08, that purports to condition Uniteds continued exclusive
use of certain space in the OHare Terminal No. 1 on continuing to pay the semi-annual interest
under the seven City of Chicago Municipal Bond issuances. United contends that this cross-default
provision is unenforceable in bankruptcy. On February 28, 2003, United filed an action seeking,
among other things, a declaration that the section 27.08 cross-default provision is unenforceable.
The Bankruptcy Court dismissed the declaratory action on June 20, 2003, as not yet ripe for review
(because the City of Chicago had not yet sought to enforce section 27.08). United re-filed the
declaratory action on September 18, 2003. Along with their answer, certain trustees and the City
of Chicago filed counterclaims. The City of Chicago also filed cross-claims against the trustees.
United and the trustee defendants resolved their dispute by settlement, which was approved by the
Bankruptcy Court on February 15, 2005. The cross-claims against the trustees have been dismissed
by the Bankruptcy Court for lack of jurisdiction. The Bankruptcy Court ordered discovery between
United and the City of Chicago, and has scheduled a trial to commence on October 5, 2005.
As to the remaining Municipal Bond issuances, because the trustees have not sought to compel
payment, United has not initiated similar litigation (and United will discharge its debt under
these six issuances under the Plan).
Hereafter, the Debtors provide a more detailed discussion on each of the Municipal Bond
issuances as well as background on the litigation mentioned above. In addition, the Debtors
discuss the treatment and status of certain escrow accounts established and maintained to channel
and hold money either raised in connection with the financings or collected from United. In
particular, construction funds were established to hold funds for construction and improvements
on the leased properties. The interest funds held payments from United for semi-annual interest
payments to bond holders, and the reserve funds provided a reserve for purposes of any shortfalls
in amounts necessary to pay principal and interest. As discussed below, various disbursements have
been made from these funds during the
Chapter 11 Cases to trustees for the Municipal Bonds. Please also see ARTICLE IV.F.5.c for
further information.
70
a. Chicago OHare
During the Chapter 11 Cases, United has not made any of the semi-annual interest payments due
under the Chicago Municipal Bond Agreements. United does not intend to make any future payments
with respect to the Chicago Municipal Bonds and will discharge the debt as part of the Plan and
pursuant to the terms of the settlement of certain litigation discussed below.
On February 28, 2003, United filed a complaint against the indenture trustees for the Chicago
Municipal Bonds and the City of Chicago. The complaint sought a judgment from the Bankruptcy Court
that United is not obligated to make payments on the Chicago Municipal Bonds despite a provision
(Section 27.08) in the Airport Use Agreement between United and the City of Chicago for OHare
International Airport that arguably requires such payments as a condition to Uniteds occupancy of
certain Exclusive Use Premises at the airport. On May 19, 2003, the City of Chicago filed a
motion to dismiss the complaint on certain jurisdictional grounds. The motion to dismiss was
granted by the Bankruptcy Court on June 20, 2003. On September 18, 2003, United filed another
complaint against City of Chicago and the indenture trustees for the Chicago Municipal Bonds that
reinstituted the litigation. That litigation is referred to herein as the Chicago Municipal Bond
Adversary Proceeding.
At the October 15, 2004 omnibus hearing in the Chapter 11 Cases, United announced a settlement
with the indenture trustees for, and certain holders of, the seven Chicago Municipal Bond
issuances. Holders of the Chicago Municipal Bonds were provided notice and an opportunity to
object to this original settlement.
The original settlement was terminated by its terms because a majority of holders of one of
the bond issuances the Series 2000A Bonds directed the indenture trustee for the Series 2000A
Bonds to terminate the settlement. In December 2004, the parties, including the indenture trustee
for the Series 2000A Bonds, entered into a reconstituted settlement agreement, based, in part, on
terms of the original settlement. Like its predecessor, the reconstituted settlement effectively
reduces the Debtors on-going indebtedness related to the Chicago Municipal Bonds from
approximately $600 million to approximately $150 million (the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement
Agreement), in the form of the New UAL OHare Bonds. The Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement
Agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on February 15, 2005. A copy of the Chicago
Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement is in the Plan Supplement, as Exhibit 15. The Plan
incorporates the distributions proposed in the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement. The
Claims of holders of the Chicago Municipal Bonds are classified in Class 2E-4 in the Plan.
THIS DESCRIPTION OF THE CHICAGO MUNICIPAL BOND SETTLEMENT IS INTENDED TO BE A SUMMARY ONLY AND
IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE CHICAGO MUNICIPAL BOND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH IS INCLUDED
IN THE PLAN SUPPLEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THIS SUMMARY AND THE CHICAGO
MUNICIPAL BOND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, THE CHICAGO MUNICIPAL BOND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WILL CONTROL.
Under the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is included in the Plan
Supplement as Exhibit 15, only holders of the Chicago Municipal Bonds as of January 7, 2005 are
entitled to vote on the Plan and make certain elections, which elections will be made on the
ballots for voting on the Plan. The treatment of each series of Chicago Municipal Bonds under the
Plan and the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement, along with estimated recoveries for
holders of each series of the Chicago Municipal Bonds, are set forth below:
71
|
(i) |
|
Series 2001A-1 Bonds and Series 2001A-2 Bonds. Holders
of the Series 2001A-1 Bonds and the Series 2001A-2 Bonds as of January 7, 2005
are given two options for treatment under the Plan. The election, which will
be made on the ballot for voting on the Plan, may be made with respect to all
or any portion of a holders Series 2001A-1 Bonds or Series 2001A-2 Bonds. By
selecting one of the following options, holders may elect to receive either a
cash payment or New UAL OHare Bonds. |
|
(a) |
|
Option A. A holder
electing Option A (or a holder that (i) fails to elect either
Option A or Option B, or (ii) elects Option B but fails to
tender its pro rata portion of the Note Purchase, as described
below in the section titled Note Purchase, as that term is
defined in the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement) will
receive a cash payment of up to $.58 per dollar in principal
amount held of the Series 2001A-1 Bonds and Series 2001A-2
Bonds. The cash payment will come from the construction and
capitalized interest funds for the Series 2001A-1 Bonds and the
Series 2001A-2 Bonds, funds from a note purchase payment to be
made by holders of Chicago Municipal Bonds electing Option B,
and a first priority claim to a pooling trust that will be
funded with distributions made by United on certain claims with
respect to the Chicago Municipal Bonds, which pooling trust is
described in more detail below in the section titled Pooling
Agreement. While the parties to the Chicago Municipal Bond
Settlement Agreement anticipate that these funds will be
sufficient to permit a cash distribution of 58 cents for every
one dollar of principal amount held of the Series 2001A-1 Bonds
and Series 2001A-2 Bonds, there can be no assurance that these
funds will be sufficient to permit such a distribution. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Option B. A holder
electing Option B will receive its pro rata share of
approximately $48,666,000 in principal amount of New UAL OHare
Bonds in an amount up to $.60 per dollar in principal amount of
the Series 2001A-1 Bonds and Series 2001A-2 Bonds held by such
electing holder. The $.60 amount is subject to reduction in the
event of an oversubscription, as described in more detail below
in the section titled Over/Undersubscription for New UAL OHare
Bonds. The terms of the New UAL OHare Bonds are set forth in
more detail below in the section titled New UAL OHare Bonds.
Any holder choosing Option B must tender to United (or its
agent) a
pro rata share of the Note Purchase pursuant to instructions
contained in the Ballot for voting on the Plan. |
|
|
(c) |
|
The unsecured deficiency claim of
holders of the Series 2001A-1 Bonds and 2001A-2 Bonds will be
deposited by United into a trust formed under a pooling
agreement for reallocation and distribution pursuant to the
terms of the pooling agreement, as described in more detail
below in the section titled Pooling Agreement. |
72
|
(ii) |
|
Series 2000A Bonds. Holders of the
Series 2000A Bonds are not entitled to elect a treatment under the
Plan. Rather, all holders of the Series 2000A Bonds as of January 7,
2005 will receive a combination of: (i) a pro rata cash distribution of
the construction, redemption and bond funds associated with the Series
2000A Bonds; (ii) New UAL Common Stock; and (iii) New UAL OHare Bonds
in the principal amount of approximately $9,216,000. |
|
|
(iii) |
|
Series 1999A Bonds, Series 1999B Bonds,
Series 2001B Bonds and Series 2001C Bonds. Holders of the Series
1999A Bonds, Series 1999B Bonds, Series 2001B Bonds and Series 2001C
Bonds as of January 7, 2005 are given two options for treatment under
the Plan. The election, which will be made on the Ballot for voting on
the Plan, may be made with respect to all or any portion of a holders
Series 1999A Bonds, Series 1999B Bonds, Series 2001B Bonds and Series
2001C Bonds. By selecting one of the following options, holders may
elect to receive either New UAL OHare Bonds or New UAL Common Stock
(holders of the Series 1999A Bonds, Series 1999B Bonds, Series 2001B
Bonds and Series 2001C Bonds are not given the option of receiving a
cash distribution because, unlike the Series 2000A Bonds, Series
2001A-1 Bonds and Series 2001A-2 Bonds, there were no construction
funds, interest reserve funds, or any other funds associated with those
bonds on or after the Petition Date). |
|
(a) |
|
Option A. A holder
electing Option A (or a holder that (i) fails to elect either
Option A or Option B, or (ii) elects Option B but fails to
tender its pro rata portion of the Note Purchase, as described
below in the section titled Note Purchase) will receive New
UAL Common Stock. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Option B. A holder
electing Option B will receive its pro rata share of
approximately $86,570,000 in principal amount of the New UAL
OHare Bonds in an amount up to $.60 per dollar in principal
amount of the Series 1999A Bonds, Series 1999B Bonds, Series
2001B Bonds and Series 2001C Bonds held by such holder. The
$.60 amount is subject to reduction in the event of an
oversubscription, as described in more detail below in the
section titled Over/Undersubscription for New UAL OHare
Bonds. The terms of the New UAL OHare Bonds are set forth
in more detail below in the section titled New UAL OHare
Bonds. Any holder choosing Option B must tender to United
(or its agent) a pro rata share of the Note Purchase pursuant
to instructions contained in the Ballot for voting on the
Plan. |
|
|
(c) |
|
The unsecured deficiency claim of
a holder of the Series 1999A Bonds, Series 1999B Bonds, Series
2001B Bonds and Series 2001C Bonds making the Option B election
will be deposited by United into a trust formed under a pooling
agreement for reallocation and distribution pursuant to the
terms of the pooling agreement, as described in more detail
below in the section titled Pooling Agreement.
|

|
(iv) |
|
Other Material Provisions of the Chicago
Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement. In addition to the foregoing,
there are several other material terms of the Chicago Municipal Bond
Settlement Agreement: (1) in exchange for the foregoing treatment under
the Plan, the indenture trustees for the Chicago Municipal Bonds and
the bondholder parties to the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement
Agreement, solely in their capacities as trustees for or holders of the
Chicago Municipal Bonds, agreed, inter alia, not to (a) take any action
against United to declare a default or terminate or pursue a remedy
against United under the Airport Use Agreement, including Section
27.08, (b) object to or take any action that is inconsistent with the
approval by the Bankruptcy Court of any assumption of the Airport Use
Agreement, or (c) take any action against United to compel payment by
United of any payments due or payable under any of the Chicago
Municipal Bond Agreements; (2) the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement
Agreement preserves the right of holders of the Chicago Municipal Bonds
(other than those designated holders that are signatories of the
Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement) to object to the Plan; (3)
United agreed to pay the reasonable and actual fees and expenses of the
indenture trustees for the Chicago Municipal Bonds and the bondholders
that are parties to the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement.
United has paid such fees and expenses through February 15, 2005.
United will make a further payment of reasonable and actual fees and
expenses that accrue from February 16, 2005 through the Effective Date;
and (4) any claims that the indenture trustees or holders of the
Chicago Municipal Bonds may have against the City of Chicago were
expressly preserved by the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement
and the indenture trustees or holders of the bonds may pursue such
claims to the extent that United would not be required to indemnify the
City of Chicago on account thereof, subject to certain exceptions. |
|
|
(v) |
|
Note Purchase. Under the terms of the
Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement, those holders that elect
to receive New UAL OHare Bonds (i.e. those holders that elect Option
B) are required to fund a share of the purchase of $5,193,114 of the
New UAL OHare
Bonds pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement between United and Stark. |
|
|
(vi) |
|
Over/Undersubscription for New UAL OHare
Bonds. The Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement provides
mechanisms for dealing with the situations where (i) too many holders
of the Chicago Municipal Bonds elect Option B to allow holders electing
Option B to receive $.60 in New UAL OHare Bonds per dollar in
principal amount of the Chicago Municipal Bonds held by such holder,
and (ii) not enough holders of the Chicago Municipal Bonds elect Option
B, such that holders of the Chicago Municipal Bonds would receive
greater than $.60 in New UAL OHare Bonds per dollar in principal
amount of the Chicago Municipal Bonds held by such holder. In the
former situation (an oversubscription), the amount of New UAL OHare
Bonds holders will receive will be reduced on a pro rata basis. In the
latter situation (an undersubscription), the excess New UAL OHare
Bonds will be
|
74
|
|
|
deposited into the trust formed under the pooling
agreement and distributed as discussed below. Holders of the Chicago
Municipal Bonds should consult the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement
Agreement for more detail on the operation of this provision. The
provisions in this paragraph do not apply to the Series 2000A
Bondholders, who do not have an election. |
|
|
(vii) |
|
Pooling Agreement. Certain
distributions that otherwise would have been made directly to holders
of the Chicago Municipal Bonds will instead be deposited into a trust
established under a pooling agreement and reallocated to holders of the
Chicago Municipal Bonds as set forth in the Chicago Municipal Bond
Settlement Agreement. These distributions include the distributions on
the deficiency claims of holders of the Series 2001A-1 Bonds and Series
2001A-2 Bonds, the distributions on the deficiency claims of the
holders of the Series 1999A Bonds, Series 1999B Bonds, Series 2001B
Bonds and Series 2001C Bonds that elect Option B, and any New UAL
OHare Bonds that are not distributed to holders choosing Option B as a
result of an undersubscription. The assets of the trust established
under the pooling agreement (other than any excess of the New UAL
OHare Bonds resulting from an undersubscription from the Series 1999A
Bonds, Series 1999B Bonds, Series 2001B Bonds, and Series 20001C Bonds,
which will be distributed to the holders of those Bonds electing Option
A) will be liquidated and distributed to the holders of the Series
2001A-1 and Series 2001A-2 Bonds electing Option A, to the extent
necessary to result in a $.58 distribution to such holders after
application of construction and reserve funds and the funds realized
from the note purchase, and thereafter any remaining assets will be
distributed in kind to the holders of the Series 1999A Bonds, Series
1999B Bonds, Series 2001B Bonds and Series 2001C Bonds electing Option
A, all as more fully set forth in the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement
Agreement and the Pooling Agreement. |
|
|
(viii) |
|
New UAL OHare Bonds. The Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement
Agreement provides that United will issue $149,646,114 in New UAL
OHare Bonds, to be distributed as discussed above, on terms sufficient
to ensure that such securities trade at par. |
Pursuant to the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement, all parties reserved the right to
revive their Claims if the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement is terminated. One basis
for termination is the inability of United to confirm a plan of reorganization consistent with the
terms of the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement prior to December 31, 2005. United and
certain of the parties to the settlement are currently in discussions to secure a consensual
extension of this deadline, and the Debtors anticipate that such an extension will be agreed to. If
United is unable to do so, any of the parties may, at their sole option, terminate the Chicago
Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement immediately upon written notice thereof to the other parties.
The City of Chicago, a party to these adversary proceedings, was, again, not a party to the Chicago
Municipal Bond Settlement Agreement.
Despite the Chicago Municipal Bond Settlement, the City of Chicago has requested further
discovery and a trial in the Chicago Municipal Bond Adversary Proceeding. The requested discovery
relates primarily to: (1) the extent to which enforcement of Section 27.08 of the Airport Use
Agreement
75
would place an impermissible burden on Uniteds reorganization; and (2) the extent to
which the City of Chicago would be harmed if Section 27.08 were found to be unenforceable. The
Bankruptcy Court ordered discovery on these issues and scheduled a trial to commence on October 5,
2005. At the conclusion of the trial, the Debtors expect that the Bankruptcy Court will rule on
whether Section 27.08 is enforceable against the Debtors.
b. San Francisco
United did not pay the semi-annual interest payments due on April 1, 2003, October 1, 2003,
April 1, 2004, October 1, 2004, and April 1, 2005 under either the California Statewide Communities
Development Authority Special Facilities Lease Bonds, 1997 Series A or the California Statewide
Communities Development Authority Special Facilities Revenue Bonds, 2000 Series A. United filed a
declaratory action with respect to the Series 1997A Bonds (but not the Series 2000A Bonds) on March
21, 2003, seeking a declaration that, among other things, the Series 1997A Bonds are a disguised
financing arrangement and not a true lease. All parties to the March 21, 2003 declaratory action
filed motions for summary judgment. On March 30, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court issued a decision,
holding the financing arrangement at issue in the SFO adversary proceeding not to be a true
lease. The District Court reversed the Bankruptcy Court on appeal. United appealed to the
Seventh Circuit. On July 26, 2005, the Seventh Circuit reversed the District Court, ruling that
the underlying transaction was not a true lease, but rather a disguised financing. On August
18, 2005, the Seventh Circuit denied the defendants petitions for rehearing and rehearing en banc.
In regard to the various funds issued in connection with the San Francisco Municipal Bonds,
HSBC Bank, as trustee for the Series 1997A Bonds, filed a motion seeking relief from the automatic
stay to access monies remaining in the Series 1997A bond fund, interest account, reserve account,
capitalized interest fund, and the construction fund. By agreed order entered by the Bankruptcy
Court on May 23, 2003, the Court lifted the automatic stay with respect to an aggregate amount of
$9,684,868.33 in the Series 1997A bond fund, interest account, reserve account, and the capitalized
interest fund to permit HSBC to disburse the same to stakeholders in accordance with the terms of
that certain indenture of mortgage and deed of trust, dated August 1, 1997. The Bankruptcy Court
denied HSBCs motion with respect to the monies in the construction fund on July 18, 2003. There
remains approximately $18.24
million in the Series 1997 construction fund. Currently, there are no amounts remaining in
any of the Series 2000A bond trust funds or accounts.
United and the trustee for the Series 1997A Bonds stipulated to the existence of a valid,
perfected security interest in Uniteds leasehold interest in that certain maintenance base lease
related to this obligation. The parties did not stipulate, however, to the value (if any) that
should be assigned to that security interest, and an adversary proceeding is pending before the
Bankruptcy Court to determine that issue. This stipulation expired by its own terms when the
District Court reversed the judgment of the Bankruptcy Court regarding whether the Series 1997A
Bonds are a disguised financing arrangement. United and the trustee for the Series 1997A Bonds are
in discussions regarding the creation of a new stipulation as to the validity and perfection, but
not valuation, of the trustees security interest in such bonds. No discovery has taken place
regarding the question of security interest valuation related to the Series 1997A Bonds, nor has a
timetable for resolution of the adversary proceeding been set.
c. Denver
United did not make the semi-annual interest payments due on April 1, 2003, October 1, 2003,
April 1, 2004, October 1, 2004, and April 1, 2005, for the City and County of Denver, Colorado,
Special Facilities Airport Revenue Bonds Series 1992A. United filed its declaratory action with
respect to the Series l992A Bonds on March 21, 2003, seeking a declaration that, among other
things, the Denver
76
Municipal Bond issuance was a disguised financing arrangement and not a true
lease. All parties to the March 21, 2003 declaratory action filed motions for summary judgment.
On March 30, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that the repayment obligations constitute a true
lease for purposes of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. On appeal, the District Court affirmed.
On February 18, 2005, United appealed the District Courts affirmance. On August 18, the Seventh
Circuit set the following briefing schedule. Uniteds opening briefs are due on September 26,
2005; the defendants responsive briefs are due on October 26, 2005; and Uniteds reply brief is
due on November 9, 2005. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Courts order, United has paid an aggregate of
$45 million into escrow for April 2003, October 2003, April 2004, October 2004, and April 2005
missed interest payments related to the Denver Series 1992A Bonds. Currently, there are no amounts
remaining in any bond funds or accounts.
d. Los Angeles
United has not made the semi-annual interest payments due on April 1, 2003, October 1, 2003,
April 1, 2004, October 1, 2004 and April 1, 2005 for the: (i) Adjustable-Rate Facilities Lease
Refunding Revenue Bonds, Issue of 1984, United Air Lines, Inc.; (ii) the California Statewide
Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) Special facility Revenue Bonds, Series 1997; and (iii)
the CSCDA Special Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2001. The Debtors also did not make the
semi-annual interest payments due on May 15, 2003, November 15, 2003, May 15, 2004, November 15,
2004 and May 15, 2005 for the Regional Airports Improvement Corporation Facilities Lease Refunding
Revenue Bonds, Issue of 1992, United Air Lines, Inc.
As to the Series 1997 and Series 2001 Bonds, the trustees and bondholders have not taken any
action to recover the missed interest payments. As United considers its obligations under the
Series 1997 and 2001 Bonds prepetition unsecured obligations, and no litigation has been brought to
declare otherwise or compel payment, United does not intend to make any future interest or
principal payments and intends to discharge the debt through the Plan.
United filed a declaratory action with respect to the Series 1984 and the Series 1992 Bonds on
March 21, 2003, seeking a declaration that, among other things, the Series 1984 Bonds and the
Series 1992 Bonds constitute disguised financing arrangements and not true leases. All parties
to the March 21, 2003 declaratory action filed motions for summary judgment.
On March 30, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court held the repayment obligations relating to the Series
1984 Bonds and the Series 1992 Bonds not to be true leases for purposes of Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code. On appeal, the District Court reversed, and on February 18, 2005, United appealed
the District Courts ruling. On August 18, the Seventh Circuit set the following briefing
schedule. Uniteds opening briefs are due on September 26, 2005; the defendants responsive briefs
are due on October 26, 2005; and Uniteds reply brief is due on November 9, 2005.
In regard to the various escrow funds relating to the Los Angeles Municipal Bonds, the
Bankruptcy Court has issued a number of orders allowing for distributions to the relevant trustees
and determining ownership rights in various funds. In particular, the Bankruptcy Court issued the
following Orders:
|
|
|
By Agreed Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court on May 23, 2003, the Bankruptcy
Court lifted the automatic stay with respect to approximately $10,701,075.91 held
by the trustee in the Series 1997 reserve account and $1,027,169.12 in the Series
1997 bond fund.
|
77
|
|
|
By Agreed Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court on June 20, 2003, the Bankruptcy
Court lifted the automatic stay with respect to approximately $1,123,717.30 held by
the trustee in the Series 2001 bond fund. |
|
|
|
|
By Agreed Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court on September 11, 2003, the
Bankruptcy Court lifted the automatic stay with respect to all remaining monies
held by the trustee in the 1997 construction fund, except $4,891,600.00 (the 1997
Disputed Amounts). The 1997 Disputed Amounts remain in the construction fund. |
|
|
|
|
By Agreed Order entered on November 21, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court the
Bankruptcy Court lifted the automatic stay with respect to all remaining monies
held by the trustee in the 2001 construction fund, except for $1,455,465.28 (the
2001 Disputed Amounts), conditioned upon either United or the trustee filing a
complaint for declaratory relief to determine the parties rights as to the 2001
Disputed Amounts. |
On December 16, 2003, United filed a complaint for declaratory relief against U.S. Bank
seeking a declaration of Uniteds rights as to the 2001 Disputed Amounts. U.S. Bank answered
Uniteds complaint and filed a counterclaim, to which United replied. Both parties moved for
summary judgment. On September 20, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court issued its Memorandum of Opinion
granting summary judgment in part as to both United and U.S. Bank. In particular, the Bankruptcy
Court ordered turnover to United of those certain Group I Costs (incurred and requisitioned
pre-petition) of $1,191,547.29, as such amounts were Uniteds property and not subject to any
security interests or setoff by the Trustees. As to those certain Group II Costs (incurred
pre-petition, but requisitioned post-petition) of $233,824.38 and $4,891.60, the Bankruptcy Court
ruled that they were owed by the bondholders to United but subject to setoff with Uniteds general
debt to the bondholders pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 553.
Finally, as to those certain Group III Costs (incurred post-petition and requisitioned
post-petition) of $30,093.51, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that such amounts were owned by the
Trustees as a result of Uniteds failure to submit a written request to the trustee.
Through an agreed order submitted by United and HSBC (as trustee for the Series 1997 Bonds),
and signed by the Bankruptcy Court on October 15, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court indicated that it
would make the same findings of law and fact with respect to the issues pending between United and
HSBC with respect to the Series 1997 Disputed Amounts that it had in the September 20 Memorandum of
Opinion.
On February 24, 2005, the District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Courts ruling. Both United
and U.S. Bank appealed the order of the District Court, and briefing is complete. The Seventh
Circuit has scheduled oral argument for September 7, 2005 but has not set a timetable for
disposition of these appeals.
Currently, there are no amounts remaining in any of the Series 1984 or Series 1992 Bond trust
funds or accounts. United does not intend to make any future interest or principal payments and
intends to discharge the debt through the Plan.
United and the trustees for the Series 1984 and Series 1992 Bonds stipulated to the existence
of a valid, perfected security interest in Uniteds leasehold interest in that certain terminal
lease related to this obligation. The parties did not stipulate, however, to the value (if any)
that should be assigned to that security interest, and an adversary proceeding is pending before
the Bankruptcy Court to determine that issue. This stipulation expired by its own terms when the
District Court reversed the judgment of the Bankruptcy Court regarding whether the Series 1984 and
Series 1992 Bonds are disguised financing
78
arrangements. United and the trustee for the Series
1997A Bonds are in discussions regarding the creation of a new stipulation as to the validity and
perfection, but not valuation, of the trustees security interest in such bonds. No discovery has
taken place regarding the question of security interest valuation related to the Series 1984 and
Series 1992 Bonds, nor has a timetable for resolution of the adversary been set.
e. New York/JFK
United did not pay the semi-annual interest payments due on April 1, 2003, October 1, 2003,
April 1, 2004, October 1, 2004, and April 1, 2005 on the New York City Industrial Development
Agency Special Facility Revenue Bonds Series 1997. United filed a declaratory action with respect
to the Series 1997 Bonds on March 21, 2003, seeking a declaration that, among other things, the
Series 1997 Bonds are a disguised financing arrangement and not a true lease. All parties to
the March 21, 2003 declaratory action filed motions for summary judgment. On March 30, 2004, the
Bankruptcy Court issued rulings on the cross-motions for summary judgment, holding that the
financing arrangement was a disguised financing and did not constitute a true lease. On
February 18, 2005, the District Court affirmed. On March 14, 2005, the defendant-trustee filed a
Notice of Appeal with the Seventh Circuit. On August 18, 2005, the Seventh Circuit affirmed per
curiam the judgment of the District Court. On September 1, 2005, the trustee with respect to the
Series 1997 Bonds petitioned the Seventh Circuit for a panel rehearing. Currently, there are no
amounts remaining in any of the Series 1997 Bonds trust funds or accounts. As United believes that
the obligations under the Series 1997 Bonds are prepetition Unsecured Claims, United does not
presently intend to make any future payments and intends to discharge the debt as part of the Plan.
f. Indianapolis
On December 1, 1991, United entered into a certain master lease agreement with the
Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA). United rejected the lease for the Indianapolis maintenance
facility, effective
as of May 9, 2003. United, thus, did not make the semi-annual interest payments due May 15,
2003, or any payments due thereafter, on the Indianapolis Airport Authority 6.50% Special Facility
Revenue Bonds, Series 1995A (the Indianapolis Municipal Bonds). By agreed order entered by the
Bankruptcy Court on May 23, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court lifted the automatic stay with respect to
approximately $37,702,899.53 in the construction fund and $4,683,276.61 in the bond fund held by
the trustee. Having rejected the master lease and all agreements relating to the Indianapolis
Series 1995A Bonds, United does not presently intend to make any future payments with respect to
the Indianapolis Municipal Bonds and presently intends to discharge the debt as part of the Plan.
United, IAA, and BNY as successor trustee have moved for summary judgment regarding what
amount, if any, United must pay related to the Indianapolis Municipal Bonds. Specifically, IAA and
BNY argue that they are entitled to an administrative expense for interest payments that were not
yet due but which accrued between the Petition Date and the date that United rejected the
Indianapolis maintenance facility. The Debtors have argued that such accrued interest is only a
general Unsecured Claim. Briefing and argument are complete as to those motions, and the Bankruptcy
Court has taken these motions under advisement pending disposition of appeals related to the Denver
Municipal Bonds.
g. Boston
During the Chapter 11 Cases, United has not made any of the semi-annual interest payments (due
April 1, 2003, October 1, 2003, April 1, 2004, October 1, 2004, and April 1, 2005) on the
Massachusetts Port Authority Special Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 1999A. There has been no
litigation to compel payment. By agreed order dated May 23, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court lifted the
automatic stay with
79
respect to approximately $4,687,069.95 in the Series 1999A bond fund held by
the trustee. Contemporaneously, approximately $555,000 moved by HSBC from the construction fund to
the bond fund was returned to the construction fund. As United considers its obligations under the
Boston Series 1999A Municipal Bonds prepetition, unsecured obligations, and no litigation has been
brought to declare otherwise or to compel payment, United does not intend to make any future
interest or principal payments and intends to discharge the debt through the Plan.
h. Miami
United did not pay the semi-annual interest payments due on March 1, 2003, September 1, 2003,
March 1, 2004, September 1, 2004 and March 1, 2005 on the Miami-Dade Industrial Development
Authority Special Facilities Revenue Series 2000 Bonds. There has been no litigation to compel
payment. By agreed order dated June 2, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court lifted the automatic stay with
respect to approximately $163,388.31 from the bond fund held by the trustee. By agreed order dated
September 11, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court lifted the automatic stay with respect to approximately
$7,291,234.74 from the project fund held by the trustee.21 As United considers its
obligations under the Series 2000 Bonds prepetition, unsecured obligations, and no litigation has
been brought to declare otherwise or to compel payment, United does not intend to make any future
interest or principal payments and intends to discharge the debt through the Plan.
8. Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
Executory Contract and Lease Rejections. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors were parties to
thousands of executory contracts and unexpired leases. The Debtors sought to reject certain of
these executory contracts and unexpired leases on the Petition Date. The Debtors also sought and
received approval of streamlined procedures to reject additional executory contracts and unexpired
leases that the Debtors determined to reject in their reasonable business judgment. The procedures
allowed the Debtors to file and serve notices of intent to reject the executory contracts and
unexpired leases, and provided parties with the ability to object to the rejection of such
executory contracts and unexpired leases.
The Debtors have reviewed the executory contracts to which they are counterparties. For
certain of these contracts, the Debtors have decided that they are no longer in need of the goods
and services provided by such contracts, the contracts are for goods and services at a price that
is above market, or the Debtors could receive higher quality goods and services. In these
circumstances, among others, the Debtors have sought to reject certain executory contracts by
filing a notice of intent to reject pursuant to the court-approved procedures or, in special
circumstances, by filing a separate motion with the Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to various notices
filed by the Debtors or other orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court, as of September 7, 2005, the
Debtors have rejected approximately 54 executory contracts and approximately 113 unexpired leases
pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Debtors decisions to reject the leases resulted from internal corporate decisions to
discontinue or consolidate certain business operations. The Debtors decided to reject certain
other leases because of an internal corporate decision to no longer operate city ticket offices.
Also, the Debtors

Pursuant to an agreement for transfer of leasehold
interest dated December 3, 2004 with AMB Covina MIA Cargo Center, LLC
(AMB Covina), approved by the Bankruptcy Court on December 17,
2004, as amended as of January 7, 2005, and approved by the Bankruptcy Court on
January 26, 2005, United assigned its interest in the development lease (which
governs the lease of the land upon which United constructed a cargo facility
and GSE facility using the proceeds of the Series 2000 Bonds) to AMB Covina
free and clear of the Series 2000 Bonds. |
80
decided to reject certain other leases because of an internal corporate decision
to close the Oakland and Indianapolis wide-body aircraft maintenance center operations and
consolidate such maintenance operations at San Francisco.
Stub Rent Litigation. The Debtors lease nonresidential real property in airports and other
locations, with many of these leases requiring rent to be paid in advance on the first day of each
month. Because of their dwindling cash reserves, the Debtors were unable to make most of the
December 1, 2002 payments before they filed their Chapter 11 petitions on December 9, 2002. The
lease amounts for the period December 1 through December 31, 2002, including the period of December
9 through December 31, 2002 (the Stub Rent), remain unpaid. Various lessors sought to compel
payment of the Stub Rent under Section 365(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Court
denied these motions on March 27, 2003, but left open the possibility of the Creditors recovering
Stub Rent as an Administrative Claim under Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Certain lessors
filed motions under Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, which the Debtors opposed on the ground
that these Claims should be resolved during the Claims adjudication and reconciliation process.
On May 23, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that the Debtors did not have to pay Stub Rent for
leases that had not yet been rejected or assumed, but generally should proceed with paying Stub
Rent on Rejected Leases. The Bankruptcy Court further directed the Debtors and lessors to develop
a set of procedures for streamlining and resolving these Claims. The Debtors, certain lessors, and
the Creditors Committee developed a process of negotiation, mediation, and arbitration for
disposing of Claims on account of Stub Rent (the Stub Rent Procedures), with the Bankruptcy Court
resolving certain procedural and legal disputes about the Stub Rent Procedures on June 17, 2003 and
July 18, 2003. The Bankruptcy Court approved and authorized payment under the Stub Rent Procedures
on August 29, 2003. As of September 1, 2005, the Debtors have made Stub Rent payments in the total
amount of approximately $275,000. The Debtors estimate that they will pay, at most, Stub Rent in
the aggregate additional amount of $1.2 million with respect to Rejected Leases.
Section 365(d)(4) Deadline. By order dated February 6, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court extended
the time within which the Debtors must assume or reject unexpired leases of non-residential real
property pursuant to Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code through and including August 6, 2003,
and by order dated July 21, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court further extended the time within which the
Debtors must assume or reject unexpired leases of non-residential real property pursuant to Section
365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code through and including the earlier to occur of: (i) December 15,
2003; or (ii) the date on which a hearing on the Disclosure Statement concludes. By order dated
December 1, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court further extended the Section 365(d)(4) deadline through and
including the earlier to occur of: (i) the expiration of the Debtors exclusive period to file a
plan of reorganization (as such exclusive period may be extended from time to time); and (ii) the
conclusion of a hearing on the Debtors Disclosure Statement. However, on September 2, 2005, the
Debtors filed a motion seeking to extend the time within which the Debtors must assume or reject
unexpired leases pursuant to Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code through and including the
date on which a plan of reorganization is confirmed. A hearing is scheduled on this motion for
September 16.
9. Management Retention Initiatives
In the months preceding and following the Chapter 11 filing, a large number of employees
critical to the Debtors continuing business operations were actively recruited and many left the
employ of the Debtors for alternative employment both within and outside the airline industry. In
an effort to retain those employees who have skill sets deemed essential to the future success of
the Debtors business, the Debtors have developed a key employee retention plan (KERP), comprised
of a retention component and a severance component. On February 6, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court
granted the Debtors authority to
81
implement and/or continue their KERP. As a result of negotiations
with the Creditors Committee, the retention component of the KERP was limited to 350 individuals,
with an aggregate award amount of $22.7 million, unless further notice is provided to the
Creditors Committee, the AFA, and if an objection is filed, the Bankruptcy Court. The amounts to
be paid under the KERP were largely scheduled to occur (1) in October 2003 and (2) on the Effective
Date. In October 2003, the Debtors paid their employees eligible for the KERP an aggregate amount
of approximately $11 million. Due to attrition among the 350 participants in the KERP, the Debtors
anticipate that they will pay no more than approximately $10 million on the Effective Date. The
cost of the severance component of the KERP was predicted to be as great as $75 million depending
on the extent of the downsizing of the Debtors operations. To date, however, the Debtors have
only paid $7.5 million to employees in connection with the severance component of the KERP.
The initial KERP did not extend to professional and technical employees, primarily in the
Debtors information services division, who are critical to the Debtors continuing business
operations and reorganization (the Key Professional and Technical Employees). The Debtors
experienced significant attrition of these Key Professional and Technical Employees, who possess
highly marketable skills and whose replacement would be extremely challenging to the Debtors. To
combat the attrition of Key Professional and Technical Employees, the Debtors developed a key
employee retention program (the Technical Employee KERP) targeted to providing retention awards
for select professional and technical employees. As a result of negotiations with the Creditors
Committee, participation and aggregate award amounts were limited to 520 participants and $7.5
million in awards without further notice to the Creditors Committee and, if the Creditors
Committee objects, the Bankruptcy Court. On February 6, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court authorized, but
did not require, the Debtors to implement the Technical Employee KERP. The amounts to be paid
under the Technical Employee KERP are scheduled to occur (1) on the Effective Date and (2) six
months after the Effective Date. Because the Technical Employee KERP is not limited to specific
individuals (like the KERP), the Debtors anticipate that they will pay their employees eligible
for the Technical Employee KERP all of the $7.5 million approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
The Debtors also requested approval from the Bankruptcy Court to assume the employment
agreement, dated as of September 5, 2002, by and among UAL, United, and Glenn F. Tilton, UALs
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Debtors. On February 21, 2003, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the assumption of the employment agreement between the
Debtors and Mr. Tilton.
10. Performance Incentive Plans
Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors had, in the ordinary course of their business,
maintained an annual performance-based cash incentive plan (the PIP). Under the terms of the
PIP, participants received additional cash compensation if the Debtors met specified performance
criteria and the individual employees performance warranted additional compensation. Prior to the
beginning of each year, the Human Resources Subcommittee of UALs board of directors established a
threshold level of pre-tax profit margin that the Debtors had to obtain before any award would be
made under the PIP for that year. The Human Resources Subcommittee also determined the appropriate
performance objectives for each year relating to other specified areas, including financial
performance, operational performance, and customer satisfaction. As part of the Debtors first-day
motions, the Bankruptcy Court authorized, but did not require, the Debtors to maintain and
administer their PIP and other incentive plans in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Cases.
Uniteds performance in 2003 warranted a payout under the PIP of 187.8% of target, or
approximately $70 million in total. The Human Resources Subcommittee has not determined the
amounts to pay participants either individually or in aggregate. Therefore, any
82
incentive
award for 2003 under the PIP is not calculable at this time. In addition, ULSs performance in
2003 warranted a payout under ULSs PIP of 133% of target for a total of approximately $4 million.
Union employees were not participants in the PIP. As part of its restructuring, the Debtors
and their Unions implemented, effective as of January 1, 2004, the UAL Corporation Success Sharing
Program Performance Incentive Plan (the Success Sharing Performance Incentive Plan), which
replaced the incentive plan provided under the PIP and extends to all Union-represented and SAM
employees. The goal of the Success Sharing Performance Incentive Plan is to create a commonality of
interest among employees and to improve focus on operational and financial improvement. Under the
Success Sharing Performance Incentive Plan, employees receive cash payments based on the
achievement of certain financial and non-financial milestones. The performance milestones approved
by the Human Resources Subcommittee of the UAL board of directors. Under the Success Sharing
Performance Incentive Plan, payouts related to meeting operating profitability goals are made on an
annual basis as soon as reasonably practicable following the year in which such payout was earned
(for SAM employees, the amount, if any, of such payment would also be based on the individuals
performance), while payments related to meeting operational and cost goals are made on a quarterly
basis as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the quarter. The Debtors made payments to
employees totaling approximately $100 million based on performance milestones achieved during 2004.
As part of the 2005 Restructuring Agreements, union-represented employees reduced their level of
participation in Success Sharing, from 5%, at target levels of performance, to 1%. The Debtors
have made payments to employees totaling approximately $47 million based on performance milestones
achieved during the first two quarters of 2005. The Success Sharing Performance Incentive Plan is
one component of the Debtors overall Success Sharing Program, which also includes a profit sharing
component (the Success Sharing Profit Sharing Plan).
In addition, effective as of July 1, 2000, the Debtors instituted a Long-Term Incentive Plan
for ULS employees (the ULS LTIP). The Debtors created the ULS LTIP to focus and motivate ULS
employees to support the Debtors e-business initiatives and sales of Mileage Plus miles to third
parties. The ULS LTIP was designed so that participants could share in the incremental value
created by ULS. The ULS LTIP incorporated certain vesting requirements, and the Debtors could
unilaterally amend or
terminate the plan at their discretion. In general, ULS employees were not eligible to
participate in UALs incentive stock option program. Under the ULS LTIP, rather than tying awards
to UALs stock price, incentive awards were to be paid based on the incremental value created
through businesses within ULSs portfolio (e.g., Mileage Plus, Orbitz, and MyPoints.com). Each
participant was granted, at the inception of the ULS LTIP or upon hiring or promotion, a portion of
the future value created. Payouts under the ULS LTIP were to occur upon a liquidating event in
either cash or equity. Because of the uncertainty regarding how or when a ULS investment would be
liquidated, the ULS LTIP had a sunset provision (June 30, 2004) to provide greater assurance to
participants.
As part of its first-day orders, the Bankruptcy Court also authorized, but did not require,
the Debtors to honor and continue the ULS LTIP. Considering cash flow limitations associated with
the Chapter 11 Cases and the Debtors ongoing restructuring, the Debtors evaluated the feasibility
of honoring the ULS LTIP, all in light of balancing the Debtors fiduciary duties in these Chapter
11 Cases against the goal of retaining an engaged and motivated ULS workforce. As a result,
effective as of June 24, 2003, the Debtors amended the ULS LTIP so that: (i) participants vested
interests and awards under the ULS LTIP were frozen as of the Petition Date; (ii) payouts under the
ULS LTIP are limited to 60% of award amount as of the Petition Date; (iii) aggregate distributions
made to participants after the Petition Date will not exceed $11 million in value; (iv) the Debtors
may propose in the Plan to make any remaining payouts to ULS LTIP participants upon the Effective
Date in cash or equity; and (v) any participant who voluntarily terminates employment with the
Debtors or non-Debtor subsidiaries of the
83
Debtors forfeits any potential payment under the ULS
LTIP. The Debtors intend to make payments under the ULS LTIP, as amended, to eligible employees
subsequent to the Debtors exit from bankruptcy.
11. Management Equity Incentive Plan
On the Effective Date, Reorganized UAL will implement the UAL Corporation 2005 Management
Equity Incentive Plan (the Management Equity Incentive Plan). The Management Equity Incentive
Plan provides, among other things, for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, and
restricted stock awards. Officers and other employees of Reorganized UAL and its subsidiaries are
eligible for grants under the Management Equity Incentive Plan.
The Debtors, with the assistance of their employee benefits advisors, Towers Perrin, have
developed the Management Equity Incentive Plan to provide the Reorganized Debtors management with
incentives to maximize stockholder value and otherwise contribute to the success of the Reorganized
Debtors and to attract, retain, and reward the best available persons for positions of
responsibility. To determine the competitive landscape for equity grants to management, Towers
Perrin examined the public filings of approximately 45 companies that have emerged from bankruptcy
over the last 8 years.
Based upon Towers Perrins research and recommendation, the Reorganized Debtors will reserve
up to [___]% of the equity of Reorganized UAL Corporation for issuance under the Management Equity
Incentive Plan. The Management Equity Incentive Plan is contained in the Plan Supplement as
Exhibit 32.
12. Director Equity Incentive Plan
On the Effective Date, Reorganized UAL will implement the UAL Corporation 2005 Director Equity
Incentive Plan (the Director Equity Incentive Plan). The Director Equity Incentive Plan
provides, among other things, for grants of equity-based awards. The purpose of the Director
Equity Incentive Plan is to attract and retain the services of experienced and knowledgeable
non-employee directors by providing such directors with greater flexibility in the form and timing
of receipt of compensation for their service on the Reorganized UAL board of directors and an
opportunity to obtain a
greater proprietary interest in the Companys long-term success and progress. Towers Perrin
reviewed the director equity grants at 24 companies that have emerged from bankruptcy over the last
5 years. Based upon Towers Perrins research and recommendation, the Reorganized Debtors will
reserve up to [___]% of the equity of Reorganized UAL for issuance under the Director Equity
Incentive Plan. The Director Equity Incentive Plan is contained in the Plan Supplement as Exhibit
33.
13. Estimation of Claims and Interests
The Debtors received authority to estimate certain significantly large Claims ($13 billion in
the aggregate), where adjudication of the partially unliquidated or contingent character of those
Claims would unduly delay the Debtors restructuring, emergence from Chapter 11, and distribution
to Creditors pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Claims subject to the
estimation procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court were specified in the Bankruptcy Courts
order. The Debtors deemed this authority necessary: (a) to obtain greater clarity regarding the
total amount of ultimately allowable Claims; (b) to ensure that the Debtors were able to develop an
appropriate capital structure on exit; (c) to classify and treat Claims in a plan of reorganization
appropriately; (d) to avoid having to fully litigate baseless Claims that would cause unnecessary
delay in the solicitation and voting process (so as to avoid dramatically skewed voting results);
and (e) to maximize distributions to Creditors as soon as possible after Confirmation without
having to establish inappropriately large reserves on account of billions of dollars of baseless
Claims.
84
The procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court provided for the Holders of the Claims, the
Debtors, and the Creditors Committee to engage in limited discovery, submit documentary support
for their positions, and to participate in a Claims estimation hearing. After the hearing, the
Bankruptcy Court will estimate each Claim for all purposes, including for voting and distribution
purposes. The procedures also included provisions to allow the Bankruptcy Court or the District
Court to estimate Claims on account of personal injury tort and wrongful death in accordance with
Section 158 of Title 28 of the United States Code. In addition, the Debtors expressly reserved
their rights to seek estimation of those Claims not subject to the authorized procedures.
14. Exit Financing
The Debtors have used the Chapter 11 process to position themselves to compete with the
best carriers and confront the challenges of a volatile industry. The Debtors have substantially
reduced labor and non-labor costs; renegotiated mainline fleet costs for unprecedented savings;
addressed pension issues; improved revenue performance; enhanced their domestic and global network;
launched several innovations; and continued to provide reliable operational performance while
significantly improving service for customers. The Debtors today are vastly different than three
years ago.
Following the substantial completion of their restructuring initiatives, the Debtors commenced
a revision of their business plan with the goal of using the updated business plan as a platform
for obtaining exit financing, filing and obtaining confirmation of a feasible plan of
reorganization, and exiting Chapter 11. The Debtors new business plan incorporates the savings
discussed above, as well as a comprehensive update of the Debtors fuel and revenue forecasts and
addresses ways in which the Debtors can meet the challenges in both of these critical areas. The
business plan is also updated to reflect changes to the Debtors aircraft fleet, and addresses ways
in which the Debtors can improve the productivity of their aircraft and improve capacity. The
revised business plan also seeks to optimize the use of real estate and other assets of the
Debtors. Finally, the revised business plan addresses external factors that could have a material
impact on the Debtors revenues and performance in the future, including the possibility of an
increase in the cost of fuel, industry consolidation, direct low-cost carrier competition, and an
economic downturn.
The Debtors believe that these essential changes will provide stable finances and the cost
structure necessary for them to be competitive upon exit from Chapter 11 in a challenging industry
environment. The Debtors also believe that the business transformation accomplished during the
course of the bankruptcy will enable them to take advantage of strategic options that may exist
after they exit Chapter 11. For example, several airline industry analysts believe that the U.S.
airline industry is ripe for a period of consolidation, following a wave of combinations in the
European, Asia/Pacific, Latin American and Middle East industries. Upon exit from Chapter 11,
Uniteds new cost structure and business flexibility, combined with a renewed focus on operations
excellence, will position it to compete aggressively in any industry consolidation, if it so
chooses.
The changes accomplished by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 process, as well as the revised
business plan, have also favorably positioned the Debtors to obtain a competitive exit financing
package. The Debtors have been working with potential exit financing lenders to place a $2.5
billion exit financing package, which will be used to repay the DIP Facility Claims, make other
payments required to be made on the Effective Date, and conduct their post-reorganization
operations. The New Credit Facility will likely be comprised of a term loan, together with a
revolving credit facility. The New Credit Facility would likely be guaranteed by UAL and all of
Uniteds and UALs domestic subsidiaries. As security for the New Credit Facility, any New Credit
Facility lender is likely to require a first priority Lien on substantially all unencumbered
assets. The New Credit Facility also will likely include a standard package of financial covenants,
which could include, but may not be limited to, a minimum unrestricted cash
85
maintenance
requirement, leverage ratios, an interest coverage ratio, minimum collateral coverage and annual
maximum capital expenditure limitations. Finally, a New Credit Facility would likely require some
level of annual amortization.
The Debtors also believe that junior capital, in the form of a rights offering or other public
or private equity offering, may provide additional capacity to enable the Reorganized Debtors to
execute their post-reorganization business plan. The Debtors believe that a rights offering could
deliver new equity into the emerging company, provide investor validation of the Plan and business
plan, increase the liquidity of the New UAL Common Stock and broaden the Reorganized Debtors
investor base. In addition, a rights offering could allow unsecured creditors to increase their
ownership in the Reorganized Debtors.
The Debtors and their advisors, together with the Creditors Committee and their advisors, are
analyzing a rights offering implemented in conjunction with the Debtors exit from the Chapter 11
Cases. While they have not conclusively determined whether to commence a rights offering (or any
other public or private equity offering), they are exploring a variety of potential transactions in
which they would offer Unsecured Creditors the opportunity to purchase, on a pro rata basis,
approximately $500 million in value of New UAL Common Stock.
If the Debtors do commence a rights offering (or other public or private equity offering), any
such offering would be offered to unsecured creditors entitled to vote on the Plan. If commenced, a
rights offering would represent, in the aggregate, the right to purchase approximately $500 million
in value of New UAL Common Stock. The purchase price per share of the New UAL Common Stock would
likely be determined based upon the equity value of the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective
Date.
The Debtors do not believe that the sale of equity under any of the transactions
currently under consideration will cause a material change to any of the financial assumptions set
forth within this Disclosure Statement. Furthermore, the Plan is in no way contingent on the
ability of the Debtors to obtain any such rights offering, nor would the failure to consummate a
rights offering or other equity transaction have a material adverse impact on the ability of the
Debtors to reorganize pursuant to the Plan.
The Debtors have contacted several investment banks and have distributed requests for
proposals to determine their interest in participating in an equity offering as a standby
purchaser, or backstop. Once the proposals have been received and analyzed a determination will
be made as to whether to incorporate a rights offering in connection with the implementation of the
Plan.
In addition to exit financing and a rights offering, the Debtors continue to explore other
options available to allow them to optimize their post-reorganization capital structure and
maximize the value of their Estates. The Debtors continue to consider all viable financing options
and they reserve the right to propose any financing alternative that they believe will maximize the
value of their Estates and the recovery of their Creditors.
15. Exclusivity
Section 1121(b) of the Bankruptcy Code establishes an initial period of 120 days after the
Bankruptcy Court enters an order for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code during which
only the debtor may file a plan. If the debtor files a plan within such 120-day period, Section
1121(c)(3) extends the exclusivity period by an additional 60 days to permit the debtor to seek
acceptances of such plan. Section 1121(d) also permits the bankruptcy court to extend these
exclusivity periods for cause. Without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors
initial exclusivity period to file a plan would have expired on April 8, 2003. However, by orders
dated March 24, 2003, and September 19, 2003, the
86
Bankruptcy Court twice extended the time periods
of the Debtors exclusive authority: (i) to file a plan of reorganization through and including
October 6, 2003, and through and including March 8, 2004; and (ii) to seek acceptance of such plan
through and including December 5, 2003, and May 7, 2004. The orders authorizing these extensions
reserved the Debtors right to seek additional extensions of these exclusive periods. By order
dated February 25, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court again extended the Debtors exclusivity periods to
April 7, 2004 (to file a plan), and June 7, 2004 (to solicit acceptances). In connection with the
order entered on February 25, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court effectively ruled that it would thereafter
consider whether to further extend the Debtors exclusivity periods on a month-to-month basis. On
March 19, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order further extending the exclusivity periods to
May 7, 2004 (to file a plan), and July 7, 2004 (to solicit acceptances). On April 16, 2004, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order further extending the exclusivity periods to June 30, 2004 (to
file a plan) and August 30, 2004 (to solicit acceptances). On June 24, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court
entered an order further extending the exclusivity periods to July 30, 2004 (to file a plan) and
September 29, 2004 (to solicit acceptances). On August 24, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an
order further extending the exclusivity periods to September 30, 2004 (to file a plan) and November
30, 2004 (to solicit acceptances). On September 17, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order
further extending the exclusivity periods to November 1, 2004 (to file a plan) and December 31,
2004 (to solicit acceptances). On October 15, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order further
extending the exclusivity periods to December 1, 2004 (to file a plan) and January 31, 2005 (to
solicit acceptances). On November 19, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order further
extending the exclusivity periods to January 31, 2005 (to file a plan and March 31, 2005 (to
solicit acceptances). On January 21, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order further extending
the exclusivity periods to April 30, 2005 (to file a plan) and June 30, 2005 (to solicit
acceptances). On April 22, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order further extending the
exclusivity periods to July 1, 2005 (to file a plan) and September 1, 2005 (to solicit
acceptances). On June 17, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order further extending the
exclusivity periods to September 1, 2005 (to file a plan) and November 1, 2005 (to solicit
acceptances). On August 26, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order further extending the
exclusivity periods to November 1, 2005 (to file a plan) and January 2, 2006 (to solicit
acceptances).
16. Avoidance Actions
In analyzing potential avoidance of prepetition transfers under Sections 547 and 550 of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors identified approximately 2,191 preferential transfers of $18.6 million
in the aggregate. On December 8, 2004, the Debtors filed approximately 200 preference actions and
another 27 actions to avoid statutory Liens under Section 545 of the Bankruptcy Code. Subsequent
to filing the preference complaints, the Debtors have made efforts to consensually resolve the
majority of the
avoidance actions rather than engage in protracted litigation. To date, the Debtors have
resolved approximately 770 preference claims. In addition, the Debtors have settled or otherwise
resolved all but two of the statutory Lien avoidance actions. In one remaining action, the Debtors
have filed a motion for summary judgment against the City and County of Denver seeking to
reclassify the secured portions of their Claim for personal property taxes to unsecured. This
action is not due to be ruled on by the Bankruptcy Court until October 21, 2005, and there is still
a possibility that a consensual resolution will be reached before then. The other matter is the
Claim of Los Angeles County. Los Angeles has agreed that it is not seeking secured status for its
Claim, and the parties are currently in discussions to consensually resolve the amount of the
Claim.
17. ULS Equity Transfer
On November 19, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors motion to (1) authorize UAL to
contribute 100% of the stock of ULS to United, and (2) convert ULS into a limited liability company
which will be treated as a subsidiary of United and not a separate entity for tax purposes. As
owner and
87
operator of the Debtors third-party Mileage Plus program, ULS generated net income from
its operation of the Mileage Plus Program and its other business lines. In contrast, United has
generated several billion dollars of net operating losses in recent years from the operation of its
airline business.
Rather than offsetting ULSs income with Uniteds losses, certain tax regulations specific to
the State of Illinois required United and ULS to maintain separate calculations and apportionment
factors for determining the percentage of their income that is taxed in Illinois. As a result, in
Illinois, the Debtors were required to pay substantial income taxes even though the Debtors did not
generate net income on a consolidated basis.
Additionally, according to applicable accounting standards, the earnings of ULS from the
Mileage Plus program and other transactions were not fully reported as passenger revenue, which had
the effect of making it difficult for financial analysts and prospective investors to evaluate the
financial performance of the Debtors operations compared to competitor airlines, thereby affecting
the Debtors ability to raise investment capital.
To solve the tax and accounting issues, the Debtors sought authority to allow UAL to
contribute 100% of the stock of ULS to United. Following the contribution, ULS was converted into
a wholly-owned, single-member limited liability company. United will, as a result, elect to treat
ULS as a disregarded entity for federal and Illinois income tax purposes.
In addition, in March 2005, the Debtors filed a motion requesting the authority to allow ULS
to transfer to Confetti, Inc. (n/k/a Ameniti Travel Clubs, Inc.) (Ameniti) a number of non-core
loyalty business programs, including its United Silver Wings Plus, United Cruises, and Ameniti
Luxury Travel Club programs. In addition to transferring these programs to Ameniti, the Debtors
also requested that the Bankruptcy Court authorize ULS to transfer Amenitis stock to MyPoints.com,
Inc. The Debtors made this request to simplify their financial reporting, managing, and
accounting, as well as better focus their attention on the Debtors core business. The Bankruptcy
Court granted the Debtors motion on March 18, 2005.
D. Appointment of the Creditors Committee
On December 13, 2002, the Office of the United States Trustee appointed the Creditors
Committee. The members of the Creditors Committee include Airbus, Pratt & Whitney, Lufthansa/LSG
Sky Chefs, Goodrich Corporation, Galileo International, AFA, ALPA, IAM, PBGC, Bank of New York,
HSBC Bank, US Bank, and R2 Investments. Subsequently, Stark Investments replaced
R2 Investments on
the Creditors Committee. The City of Chicago and the City of San Francisco are ex officio
members of the Creditors Committee. The Creditors Committee retained Sonnenschein, Nath &
Rosenthal LLP as its legal advisors and KPMG LLP (KPMG) and Saybrook Capital as its financial
advisors. KPMG subsequently sold its corporate recovery practice to Mesirow Financial Consulting
LLC (Mesirow) and the employees of KPMG working on the Creditors Committees behalf became
employees of Mesirow. As a result, the Creditors Committee filed an application to retain Mesirow
in the capacity previously served by KPMG. The Bankruptcy Court approved the Creditors
Committees application to retain Mesirow.
Since the formation of the Creditors Committee, the Debtors have consulted with the
Creditors Committee concerning the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors have kept
the Creditors Committee informed about their operations and have sought the concurrence of the
Creditors Committee to the extent its constituency would be affected by actions and transactions
taken outside of the ordinary course of the Debtors businesses. The Creditors Committee has,
together with the Debtors management and professional advisors, participated actively in, among
other things, reviewing their
88
business plan and operations. The Debtors and their professional
advisors have met with the Creditors Committee and its professional advisors on numerous occasions
in connection with the negotiation of the Plan.
On August 23, 2004, the Creditors Committee organized working groups (the Working Groups),
comprised of certain members of the Creditors Committee, the members professionals, and the
Creditors Committees professionals to work directly with Uniteds senior management to identify
and evaluate, among other things, potential additional costs savings, and to work constructively
toward the development of a viable business plan to secure non-guaranteed exit financing. The
Working Groups focused on some of the most important elements of Uniteds ongoing restructuring,
including exit financing, United Express, aircraft maintenance, network and business model, and
other cost improvements.
ARTICLE IV.
SUMMARY OF THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
The purpose of the Plan is to provide the Debtors with a capital structure that can be
supported by cash flows from operations. The Debtors believe that the reorganization contemplated
by the Plan is in the best interests of their Creditors. If the Plan is not confirmed, the Debtors
believe that they will be forced to either file an alternate plan of reorganization or liquidate
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In either event, the Debtors believe that the Debtors
Unsecured Creditors would realize a less favorable distribution of value, or, in certain cases,
none at all, for their Claims and Interests. See ARTICLE V.C hereof and the Liquidation
Analysis set forth as Appendix B hereto and included in the Plan Supplement as Exhibit 27.
A. Overview of Chapter 11
Chapter 11 is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. Under
Chapter 11, a debtor can reorganize its business for the benefit of itself, its creditors, and
interest holders. Chapter 11 also strives to promote equality of treatment for similarly situated
creditors and similarly situated interest holders with respect to the distribution of a debtors
assets.
The commencement of a Chapter 11 case creates an estate that is comprised of all of the legal
and equitable interests of the debtor as of the filing date. The Bankruptcy Code provides that the
debtor may continue to operate its business and remain in possession of its property as a
debtor-in-possession.
The consummation of a plan of reorganization is the principal objective of a Chapter 11 case.
A plan of reorganization sets forth the means for satisfying claims against, and interests in, a
debtor. Confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court makes the plan binding
upon the debtor, any issuer of securities under the plan, any person or entity acquiring property
under the plan, and any creditor of or equity holder in the debtor, whether or not such creditor or
equity holder (a) is impaired under or has accepted the plan, or (b) receives or retains any
property under the plan. Subject to certain limited exceptions and other than as provided in the
plan itself or the confirmation order, a confirmation order discharges the debtor from any debt
that arose prior to the date of confirmation of the plan and substitutes therefor the obligations
specified under the confirmed plan.
A Chapter 11 plan may specify that the legal, contractual, and equitable rights of the holders
of claims or interests in certain classes are to remain unaltered by the reorganization effectuated
by the plan. Such classes are referred to as unimpaired and, because of such favorable
treatment, are deemed to accept the plan. Accordingly, the Debtors need not solicit votes from the
holders of claims or equity interests in such classes. A Chapter 11 plan also may specify that
certain classes will not receive any
89
distribution of property or retain any claim against a debtor.
Such classes are deemed not to accept the plan and, therefore, need not be solicited to vote to
accept or reject the plan. Any classes that are receiving a distribution of property under the
plan but are not unimpaired will be solicited to vote to accept or reject the plan.
Section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan of reorganization shall classify the
claims of a debtors creditors and equity interest holders. In compliance therewith, the Plan
divides Claims and Interests into various Classes and sets forth the treatment for each Class and
Subclass. The Debtors also are required, as discussed above, under Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy
Code, to classify Claims and Interests into Classes that contain Claims and Interests that are
substantially similar to the other Claims and Interests in such Classes. The Debtors believe that
the Plan has classified all Claims and Interests in compliance with the provisions of Section 1122
of the Bankruptcy Code, but it is possible that a Holder of a Claim or Interest may challenge the
classification of Claims and Interests and that the Bankruptcy Court may find that a different
classification is required for the Plan to be confirmed. In such event, the Debtors intend, to the
extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Court and the Plan, to make such reasonable modifications of the
classifications under the Plan to permit Confirmation and to use the Plan acceptances received in
this solicitation for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the reconstituted Class or Classes
of which the accepting Holder is ultimately deemed to be a member. Any such reclassification could
adversely affect the Class in which such Holder was initially a member, or any other Class under
the Plan, by changing the composition of such Class and the vote required of that Class for
approval of the Plan.
THE REMAINDER OF THIS SECTION PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF THE STRUCTURE AND MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE PLAN AND THE CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS UNDER THE PLAN, AND IS
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE PLAN AND THE PLAN SUPPLEMENT (AS WELL AS THE EXHIBITS
THERETO AND DEFINITIONS THEREIN).
THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT INCLUDE SUMMARIES OF THE PROVISIONS
CONTAINED IN THE PLAN AND IN THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO THEREIN. THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT DO NOT PURPORT TO BE PRECISE OR COMPLETE STATEMENTS OF ALL THE TERMS AND
PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN OR DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO THEREIN, AND REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE PLAN AND TO
SUCH DOCUMENTS FOR THE FULL AND COMPLETE STATEMENT OF SUCH TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN OR
DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO THEREIN.
THE PLAN ITSELF AND THE DOCUMENTS THEREIN CONTROL THE ACTUAL TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AGAINST, AND
INTERESTS IN, THE DEBTORS UNDER THE PLAN AND WILL, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE, BE
BINDING UPON ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS, THE DEBTORS ESTATES, THE
REORGANIZED DEBTORS, ALL PARTIES RECEIVING PROPERTY UNDER THE PLAN, AND OTHER PARTIES IN INTEREST.
IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE PLAN OR
ANY OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENT, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE TERMS OF THE PLAN AND/OR SUCH OTHER OPERATIVE
DOCUMENT SHALL CONTROL.
B. Overall Structure of the Plan
The Plan contemplates substantive consolidation of the Estates of the United Debtors (all of
the Debtors other than UAL) for all purposes related to the Plan, including, without limitation,
for purposes
90
of voting, confirmation, and distribution. Unless substantive consolidation has been
approved by a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan shall serve as a motion by the Debtors
seeking entry of an Order of the Bankruptcy Court substantively consolidating the Estates of the
United Debtors. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not substantively consolidate some or
all of the United Debtors Estates, the Plan provides for twenty-eight (28) sub-plan of
reorganization (the Subplans). The Subplans are designated by the following numbers:

The Debtors believe that the Plan provides the best and most prompt possible recovery to
Holders of Claims and Interests. Under the Plan, Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtors are
divided into different Classes. Under the Bankruptcy Code, claims and equity interests are
classified beyond mere creditors or shareholders because such entities may hold claims or
equity interests in more than one class. For purposes of this Disclosure Statement, the term
Holder refers to the holder of a Claim or Interest in a particular Class under the Plan. If the
Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and consummated, on the Effective Date or as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter, the Debtors will make distributions in respect of certain
Classes of Claims and Interests as provided in the Plan.
C. Severability of Plan Provisions
If the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation, the confirmation
requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code must be satisfied separately with respect to
each Subplan. If any Subplan is not confirmed, the Debtors reserve the right to either request
that the other Subplans be
91
confirmed or withdraw some or all Subplans. Subject to the preceding
provision, the Debtors inability to confirm or election to withdraw any Subplan shall not impair
the confirmation of any other Subplan.
D. Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests
1. Summary of Claims Against All the Debtors
a. Administrative Claims
Administrative Claims are Claims for costs and expenses of administration of the Chapter 11
Cases that are entitled to priority pursuant to Section 507(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Such
Claims include (1) any actual and necessary costs and expenses incurred after the Petition Date of
preserving the Debtors estates and operating the businesses of the Debtors (such as wages,
salaries, commissions for services, leased equipment and premises), and Claims of governmental
units for taxes (including tax audit Claims related to tax years commencing after the Petition
Date, but excluding Claims relating to tax periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the
Petition Date), and (2) all fees and charges assessed against the Debtors Estates under Section
1930, Chapter 123 of Title 28, United States Code.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 328, 330(a), and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, each Holder
of an Allowed Administrative Claim shall be paid in full satisfaction, settlement, release, and
discharge of the full unpaid amount of such Allowed Administrative Claim in Cash (i) on the first
Periodic Distribution Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, (ii) if such
Administrative Claim is Allowed after the Effective Date, on the first Periodic Distribution Date
after such Administrative Claim is Allowed or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, or
(iii) upon such other terms (a) as may be agreed upon by such Holder and the respective Debtor or
Reorganized Debtor, or (b) as may be contained in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court;
provided, however, that (x) Holders of Claims arising under the DIP Facility shall
be deemed to have an Allowed Claim as of the Effective Date in such amount as to which the Debtors
and such Holders of Claims shall have agreed upon in writing or as fixed by the Bankruptcy Court,

Projected Percentage Recovery: 0%
e. Treatment of Intercompany Claims
Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, there shall be no distributions on account of
Intercompany Claims. Pursuant to Sections 1126(f) and 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, Holders of
Intercompany Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to Reinstate, extinguish, or cancel, as
applicable, all Intercompany Claims, including, without limitation, all relevant agreements,
instruments, and documents underlying such Intercompany Claims as of the Effective Date or such
other date as is appropriate.
f. Rights Offering
To provide additional exit financing, the Debtors are also exploring a variety of potential
rights offerings in which they would offer unsecured creditors the opportunity to purchase, on a
pro rata basis, approximately $500 million in value of New UAL Common Stock. The proceeds of any
such equity offering would be used to provide the Reorganized Debtors with additional capital for
capital expenditures, maintenance or other post-petition expenses and/or to reduce the amount of
any New Credit Facility, thereby resulting in additional de-leveraging of the Debtors
post-petition capital structure. The
109
Debtors are in the process of contacting several investment banks to determine their interest
in participating in an equity offering as a standby purchaser, or backstop.
Because the proceeds of an equity offering would supplement any additional long-term
indebtedness, the Debtors do not believe that the sale of equity under any of the transactions
currently under consideration will cause a material change to any of the financial assumptions set
forth within this Disclosure Statement. The Plan is in no way contingent on the ability of any
Debtor to obtain any such rights offering, nor would the failure to consummate a rights offering or
other equity transaction have a material adverse impact on the ability of the Debtors to reorganize
pursuant to the Plan.
3. Classification and Voting of Consolidated Classes
The Plan contemplates approval of the Debtors request to substantively consolidate the United
Debtors (but not UAL) into a consolidated Estate. The provisions related to substantive
consolidation are described herein and in the Plan. The categories of Claims and Interests listed
below classify Claims and Interests in or against UAL and the United Debtors for voting purposes if
substantive consolidation of the United Debtors is ordered. Substantive consolidation of the
United Debtors shall not change or alter the classification, treatment or voting of Claims and
Interests in or against UAL. If substantive consolidation is ordered, then the Claims and
Interests in or against the United Debtors, as classified above, shall vote in single consolidated
Classes as set forth below. If substantive consolidation is not ordered pursuant to the Plan with
respect to some or all of the United Debtors, then the Claims and Interests in or against those
United Debtors that are not substantively consolidated shall be classified, treated, and vote as
classified in the Plan.
a. Classification of Claims and Interests: UAL
The classification and treatment of Claims and Interests in and against UAL will be unaffected
by substantive consolidation of the United Debtors.
b. Classification of Claims and Interests: United Debtors
(i) Classification
If substantive consolidation is ordered pursuant to the Plan, then the Claims and Interests in
and against the United Debtors shall be classified as follows:

(ii) Voting
If substantive consolidation is ordered pursuant to the Plan, then the Claims and Interests in
and against the United Debtors shall vote as described in this paragraph. The Holders of DIP
Facility Claims, Secured Aircraft Claims, Other Secured Claims, and Other Priority Claims are
deemed conclusively to have accepted the Plan pursuant to Section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code
and, therefore are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Interests in the United
Debtors and Subordinated Securities Claims against United are Impaired, and because no
distributions shall be made to Holders of such Claims, such Holders are deemed conclusively to have
rejected the Plan pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and are not entitled to vote
to accept or reject the Plan. The Holders of Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree
Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retained Aircraft Claims, Unsecured Rejected Aircraft Claims,
the Unsecured PBGC Claims, the Unsecured Chicago Municipal Bond Claims, and Consolidated Other
Unsecured Claims are Impaired and are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan as separate
consolidated Classes.
(iii) Treatment
If substantive consolidation of all or some but less than all of the United Debtors is ordered
pursuant to Article V.F of the Plan, then the Holders of Claims against the United Debtors that are
not substantively consolidated shall receive the treatment set forth for each such Claim in Article
III of the Plan.
(iv) Treatment of Intercompany Claims and Interests
If substantive consolidation of all or some but less than all of the United Debtors is ordered
pursuant to Article VI.F of the Plan, then all Intercompany Claims and Interests, and all relevant
agreements, instruments, and documents underlying such Intercompany Claims and Interests, shall be
treated as set forth in the Plan.
111
E. Implementation of the Plan
1. Discussion of Substantive Consolidation Generally
The Debtors believe that the Plan, which contemplates substantive consolidation of the Estates
of the United Debtors, represents the best option available for the Debtors and their Creditors and
that the Plan maximizes the value realized from the Debtors assets. The Debtors believe that
through the Plan, Holders of Allowed Claims will obtain a better recovery from the Estates of the
Debtors than they would receive if the assets of the Debtors were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors also believe that the Plan will afford the Debtors the opportunity
and ability to continue in business as a viable going concern and preserve ongoing employment for
the Debtors employees.
In bankruptcy cases in which there are affiliated debtors, a bankruptcy court may exercise its
equitable powers to substantively consolidate the estates of the affiliates for purposes of the
plan of reorganization. Substantive consolidation involves the pooling of assets and liabilities
of the affected debtors. All of the United Debtors in the substantively consolidated group are
treated as if they were a single corporate entity and economic entity. Consequently, a Creditor of
one of the substantively consolidated United Debtors will be treated as a Creditor of the
substantively consolidated group of United Debtors, and issues of individual corporate ownership or
property and individual corporate liability or obligation are ignored.
Substantive consolidation usually results in: (i) pooling the assets of, and claims against,
the debtor entities; (ii) satisfying liabilities from the resultant common fund; (iii) eliminating
inter-company claims; and (iv) combining the creditors of the two companies for purposes of voting
on reorganization plans. See In re Augie/Restivo Baking Co., 860 F.2d 515, 518 (2d
Cir. 1988).
There is no express statutory authority for substantive consolidation. The Bankruptcy Courts
ability to order substantive consolidation derives from its general equitable powers under Section
105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that the bankruptcy court may issue orders necessary
to carry out the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. In re DRW Property Co. 82, 54 B.R.
489, 494 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 1985). Some courts have also found authority for substantive
consolidation in Section 1123(a)(5)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 1123(a)(5)(C) provides in
part, a plan [of reorganization] shall provide adequate means for the plans implementation, such
as merger or consolidation of the debtor with one or more persons. See e.g.
In re Stone & Webster, Inc., 286 B.R. 532, 541 (Bankr. D. Del. 2002) (Courts have held
that [Section 1123(a)(5)(C)] indicates Congress intent that a chapter 11 debtor may merge or
consolidate with other entities, including other debtors, as part of the reorganization process . .
.. substantive consolidation is expressly authorized by . . . § 1123(a)(5)(C)). However, there are
no statutorily prescribed standards for substantive consolidation. Instead, courts apply certain
judicially-developed standards to determine the appropriateness of substantive consolidation.
The propriety of substantive consolidation must be made on a case-by-case basis.
E.g., FDIC v. Colonial Realty Co., 966 F.2d 57 (2d Cir. 1992). In deciding whether
to consolidate, a number of earlier cases relied on the presence or absence of certain elements
that are similar to factors relevant to piercing the corporate veil under applicable state law.
E.g., In re Gulfco Inv. Corp., 593 F.2d 921 (10th Cir. 1979). These elements
include:
a. The degree of difficulty in segregating and ascertaining the individual assets
and liabilities of the entities to be consolidated;
b. The presence or absence of consolidated financial statements among the entities
to be consolidated;
112
c. The commingling of assets and business functions among the entities to be
consolidated;
d. The unity of interests and ownership among the various entities;
e. The existence of parent and intercompany guarantees on loans to the various
entities; and
f. The transfer of assets to and from the various entities without formal observance
of corporate formalities.
In re Vecco Constr. Indus., 4 B.R. 407, 410 (Bankr. E.D. Va. 1980).
More recent cases, while not ignoring these elements, have applied a less mechanical approach.
For example, the Second Circuit concluded that the extensive list of elements and factors
frequently cited and relied upon by other courts in determining the propriety of substantive
consolidation are merely variants on two critical factors, namely, (i) whether creditors dealt
with the entities as a single economic unit and did not rely on their separate identity in
extending credit . . . or (ii) whether the affairs of the debtors are so entangled that
consolidation will benefit all creditors . . . . In re Augie/Restivo 860 F.2d at 518
(internal quotations omitted); see also In re World Access, Inc., 301 B.R. 217,
273-74 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2003). Courts generally have interpreted the Augie/Restivo test
in the disjunctive, such that satisfaction of either prong could result in substantive
consolidation. More recently the Eleventh Circuit, in Eastgroup Properties v. Southern Motel
Assoc., Ltd., 935 F.2d 245, 250 (11th Cir. 1991), viewed the aforementioned elements and
factors as examples of information that may be useful to courts charged with deciding whether
there is substantial identity between the entities to be consolidated and whether consolidation is
necessary to avoid some harm or to realize some benefit. Under the Eastgroup test, a
proponent of substantive consolidation must show that there is substantial identity between the
entities to be consolidated and that consolidation is necessary to avoid some harm or realize some
benefit. Once the proponent makes this showing, a presumption arises that creditors have not
relied solely on the credit of one of the entities involved, and the burden shifts to an objecting
creditor to show that: (i) it has relied on the separate credit of one of the entities to be
consolidated, and (ii) it will be prejudiced by substantive consolidation. Eastgroup, 935
F.2d at 251; In re Reider, 31 F.3d 1102, 1108 (11th Cir. 1994). Regardless of which of the
two similar but not identical tests [i.e., Augie/Restive and Eastgroup] . . . for
assessing the propriety of substantive consolidation in the corporate context is applied, the
aforementioned corporate-veil-piercing elements remain relevant in analyzing the substantial
identity between affiliated entities and creditor reliance. Reider, 31 F.3d at 1107.
In the very recent case of In re Owens Corning, 2005 WL 1939796 (3d Cir. Aug. 15,
2005), the court enunciated five principles: (i) entity separateness should be respected, (ii)
substantive consolidation addresses harms caused by debtors, not creditors, (iii) mere benefit to
case administration is not a sufficient harm to invoke substantive consolidation, (iv) because
substantive consolidation may profoundly affect creditors rights and recoveries its use should
be rare, and (v) substantive consolidation may not be used offensively, viz. to disadvantage
tactically a group of creditors. Id. at *9. Although not binding precedent on the
Bankruptcy Court, and involving a factual situation markedly different from that presented here,
because it is the first substantive consolidation opinion issued by a circuit court of appeals in
several years Owens Corning may be influential in how courts subsequently rule on
substantive consolidation issues. Because of the particular facts presented, the Owens
Corning court took a highly restrictive view of substantive consolidation, and it is
conceivable that this restrictive view may impact the Debtors request for substantive
consolidation.
113
2. Factual Basis for Substantive Consolidation
The Debtors believe that substantive consolidation is appropriate because there is a
substantial identity among the United Debtors and creditor reliance on the consolidated credit
of the United Debtors. Moreover, the facts indicate that in Uniteds vertical corporate structure
United generally dictates corporate policies and exercises control over the United Debtors on a
day-to-day basis. See In the Matter of iPCS, Inc., 297 B.R. 283, 294 (Bankr. N.D.
Ga. 2003); see also Calvert v. Huckins, 875 F. Supp. 674, 679 (E.D. Cal. 1995).
Indeed, the greater the substantial identity, the stronger the case for substantive
consolidation. More particularly:
a. Virtually all of Uniteds operations are carried out under the United brand.
It would be virtually impossible for a Creditor or other third party to believe that
they were dealing with anything other than the unitary United enterprise;
b. Uniteds SEC filings seen and relied upon by both Creditors and investors
present the United Airlines business as a single enterprise, with various
operating units beneath it. However, in general, these subsidiary operating units,
or divisions, are not stand-alone businesses. To paraphrase one court, it would be
impossible for these debtor companies to operate on a stand alone basis without the
aid of the other operations, both foreign and domestic, that are part of the United
Air Lines group. In re Richton Intl Corp., 12 B.R. 555, 558 (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 1981). The United Debtors are a symbiotic and vertically-integrated whole,
centered around the air transportation business. Uniteds subsidiaries and
Affiliates were formed to perform specialized tasks within the corporation, and, as
is typical for a large company, and in some cases formation was tax-driven;
c. In contrast to a horizontally-integrated business with subsidiaries operating as
disparate, independent, and stand-alone businesses (often in different industries
and in separate locations), each with its own group of creditors, which do not deal
with any of the other subsidiaries or the parent, Creditors of the United Debtors
deal with United and rely on the credit of the enterprise as a whole. Courts
often grant substantive consolidation to vertically-integrated enterprises such as
United. See e.g. In re Standard Brands Paint Co., 154 B.R.
563 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 1993) (consolidation of 5 vertically-integrated subsidiaries);
In re GC Companies, Inc., 274 B.R. 663, 672 (Bankr. D. Del. 2002)
affd in part, revd in part 298
B.R. 226 (D. Del. 2003) (consolidation of 31 vertically-integrated subsidiaries).
For example, in In re Interstate Stores, Inc., 15 C.B.C. 634, 640-41 (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 1978), a case involving 188 subsidiaries, the court ordered substantive
consolidation of the debtors into two groups: the toy business-related entities, on
the one hand, and the general retail business-related entities, on the other. The
court reasoned that the toy group had constituted a separate business and had
operated as a single economic entity to the trade. Id. at 640-41;
d. Very few Creditors were listed on the Schedules of the United Debtors other than
United. Creditors of the United Debtors other than United typically do not seek
separate credit reports, lists of trade Creditors, or other information about the
subsidiaries individually. None of Uniteds subsidiaries currently have their own
active D&B numbers;
e. The DIP Facility is secured by all assets of the United Debtors, with no special
designation or notation for assets of the United Debtors other than United. The
United subsidiaries do not have separate lines of credit. Rather, credit facilities
are negotiated
114
and procured for the United Debtors by Uniteds treasury department staff. Also,
United issues bonds or other instruments for the other United Debtors;
f. United routinely has issued inter-corporate guarantees. Creditors demands for
guarantees from a parent tend to indicate that they see the parent and subsidiary as
a single cohesive unit. In re Manzey Land & Cattle Co., 17 B.R. 332, 337
(Bankr. D.S.D. 1982). It would be difficult for a Creditor that demanded a
guarantee from a parent to say that it was relying on the separate credit of the
subsidiary;
g. In general, assets (such as customer lists) transfer back and forth among
Uniteds corporate entities without consideration, in order to best effectuate
Uniteds business. Similarly, employees transfer among parent and subsidiaries
without consideration and without any inter-corporate umbrella employment agreement.
Job openings are posted on a United-wide basis, rather than by each individual
subsidiary;
h. Almost all United subsidiaries are required to use a centralized cash management
system, and make requests to Uniteds centralized treasury department staff to pay
bills. No formal contract is in place governing the use of, or inter-corporate
payment for, this cash management system;
i. Almost all of Uniteds subsidiaries do not have separate staffs for support
functions or specialized services such as legal counsel, payroll and benefits,
accounting, information technology, and human resources. See In the
Matter of iPCS, Inc., 297 B.R. 283, 294 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. 2003) (emphasizing (i)
the requirement that the subservient corporation submit its plans to the dominant
corporation for funding its operations, (ii) the dominant corporation exercised
substantial influence over the business operations and financial performance of the
subservient corporation, and (iii) the dominant corporation required the
subservient corporation to participate in a cash management system);
j. Commonly, United senior managers have simultaneous senior management roles with
different United entities, and many officers and directors of the United Debtors
overlap. Subsidiaries are required to obtain approval of United senior management
for their budgets and major capital expenditures; and
k. Although some United Chicago-area employees have offices outside of Uniteds
world headquarters, United typically leases the space for these employees, not the
subsidiary. All United senior managers have offices at Uniteds world headquarters,
even if they also have a management role at a subsidiary. Uniteds senior
management exerts direction and control over the entire enterprise, and the
subsidiaries do not have an independent existence.
3. Effect of Substantive Consolidation
The Plan provides that on the Confirmation Date, and effective on and after the Effective
Date, the Estate of each of the United Debtors, other than United, shall be substantively
consolidated into the Estate of United for all purposes associated with Confirmation and
Consummation of the Plan, including, without limitation, for purposes of voting, Confirmation, and
distribution. Solely for purposes of the Plan:
115
a. Substantive consolidation will result in the merger of all assets and liabilities
of the United Debtors;
b. Intercompany Claims and Interests will be eliminated;
c. For all purposes associated with Confirmation, including, without limitation,
tallying acceptances and rejections of the Plan, distributions, and Claim allowance,
Estates of the United Debtors shall be deemed to be one consolidated Estate for
United;
d. All guarantees of any United Debtor of the obligations of any other United Debtor
shall be eliminated so that any Claim against any United Debtor and any guarantee
thereof executed by any other United Debtors and any joint and several liability of
any United Debtor shall be obligations of the United Debtors; and
e. Each and every Claim filed or to be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases of the United
Debtors shall be deemed filed against the United Debtors, and shall be Claims
against and obligation of the United Debtors.
Substantive consolidation under the Plan will not affect a transfer or commingling of any
assets of any of the Debtors, and all assets will continue to be owned by the respective Debtors.
Substantive consolidation shall also not affect: (a) the legal and organizational structure of the
United Debtors; (b) pre- and post-Petition Date guarantees, Liens, and security interests that are
required to be maintained (i) pursuant to any Postpetition Aircraft Agreement, (ii) under the
Bankruptcy Code or in connection with contracts or leases that were entered into during the Chapter
11 Cases or executory contracts or unexpired leases that have been or will be assumed, or (iii)
pursuant to the Plan; (c) Intercompany Claims and Interests between and among the Debtors; and (d)
distributions from any insurance policies or proceeds of such policies.
In the recent Owens Corning case discussed above, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals,
based on the facts presented in that case, objected to the debtors use of what the court called a
deemed substantive consolidation, under which a consolidation is deemed to exist for purposes of
valuing and satisfying creditor claims, voting for or against the Plan, and making distributions
for allowed claims under it. 2005 WL 1939796 at *2. Specifically, the court felt it was
inappropriate for the debtor to employ a deemed consolidation because it would have eliminated
cross-guarantees of certain loans in favor of lenders by the debtor and its subsidiaries, and the
court viewed eliminating these guarantees as a ploy to deprive one group of creditors of their
rights while providing a windfall to other creditors. Id. at *1. The court concluded by
saying, Substantive consolidation fails to fit the facts of our case and, in any event, a deemed
consolidation cuts against the grain of all the principles. Id. at *10. The substantive
consolidation the United Debtors are seeking could fit under the Third Circuits definition of a
deemed consolidation. The Debtors believe that the facts presented by their bankruptcy are
significantly different and distinguishable from the facts presented in the Owens Corning
bankruptcy. However, it is possible that the highly restrictive view of substantive consolidation
taken by the court in the Owens Corning decision may impact the Debtors request for
substantive consolidation.
In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not approve substantive consolidation of the
United Debtors, the Debtors reserve the right to request Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan.
Likewise, the Debtors reserve the right to request Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan if
the Bankruptcy Court approves the substantive consolidation of some, but not all, of the United
Debtors.
If the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation of some or all of the United
Debtors, then except as specifically set forth in the Plan: (a) distributions under the Plan on
account of
116
Claims or Interests will not be affected; (b) nothing in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement
shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an admission that one of the Debtors is subject to or
liable for any Claim against any other Debtor with which it is not substantively consolidated; (c)
Claims against multiple Debtors that are not substantively consolidated shall be treated as
separate Claims with respect to each Debtors Estate for all purposes (including, without
limitation, distributions and voting), and such Claims shall be administered as provided in the
Plan; and (d) the Debtors shall not, nor shall they be required to, resolicit votes with respect to
the Plan, nor will the failure of the Bankruptcy Court to approve substantive consolidation of the
United Debtors alter the distributions set forth in the Plan.
4. Corporate Existence
Except to the extent that a Debtor ceases to exist pursuant to the Plan, each Debtor shall
continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate entity or limited liability
company, with all the powers of a corporation or limited liability company pursuant to the
applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each applicable Debtor is incorporated or formed and
pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents in
the case of a limited liability company) in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the
extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents in the case of a
limited liability company) are amended by the Plan or otherwise, and to the extent such documents
are amended, such documents are deemed to be pursuant to the Plan and require no further action or
approval.
5. Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document
relating thereto, on or after the Effective Date, all property in each Estate and any property
acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized
Debtor, free and clear of all liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances (except for liens, if
any, granted to secure the New Credit Facility, Claims pursuant to the DIP Facility that by their
terms survive termination of the DIP Facility, or as otherwise provided in the Plan). On and after
the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or
dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims or Interests without supervision or
approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy
Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan and the Confirmation Order.
6. Sales of New UAL Common Stock on Behalf of Holders of Unsecured Convenience Class Claims
and Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims
On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the first Periodic Distribution Date, to
facilitate the payment of the Unsecured Convenience Class Distribution and the Unsecured Retiree
Convenience Class Distribution, the Reorganized Debtors shall fund the Unsecured Convenience Class
Account and Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Account with New UAL Common Stock equal to the
Unsecured Convenience Class Reserve and the Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Reserve,
respectively. Subject to the New UAL Common Stock being approved for listing and trading on a
national securities exchange and subject to any measures (including timing delays) necessary or
advisable to ensure an orderly market for such stock, the Reorganized Debtors, or one or more
third-party brokers or dealers, will effectuate sales of the New UAL Common Stock that is placed in
the Unsecured Convenience Class Account or Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Account on behalf of
the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Convenience Class Claims or Allowed Unsecured Retiree Convenience
Class Claims. After such sales are consummated the Reorganized Debtors will effectuate the
Unsecured Convenience Class Distribution and Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Distribution in
accordance with the Plan.
117
7. Restructuring Transactions
On or prior to the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may take all actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to
effectuate the Plan, including, without limitation, the Roll-Up Transactions. Without limiting the
foregoing, such transactions may include: (i) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements
or other documents of merger, consolidation, or reorganization containing terms that are consistent
with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (ii) the execution
and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any
property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan;
(iii) the filing of appropriate certificates of incorporation, merger, or consolidation with the
appropriate governmental authorities pursuant to applicable law; and (iv) all other actions that
such Debtors and Reorganized Debtors determine are necessary or appropriate, including the making
of filings or recordings in connection with the relevant Roll-Up Transactions. In the event a
Roll-Up Transaction is a merger transaction, upon the consummation of such Roll-Up Transaction, the
merged party shall cease to exist as a separate corporate entity and thereafter the surviving
Reorganized Debtor shall assume and perform the obligations of each constituent Reorganized Debtor
pursuant to the Plan. Implementation of the Roll-Up Transactions shall not affect any
distributions, discharges, exculpations, releases, or injunctions set forth in the Plan.
8. Corporate Action
Upon entry of a Confirmation Order, each of the matters provided for by the Plan involving the
corporate structure of the Debtors or corporate or related actions to be taken by or required of
the Debtors shall, as of the Effective Date, be deemed to have occurred and be effective as
provided in the Plan (except to the extent otherwise indicated), and shall be authorized, approved
and, to the extent taken prior to the Effective Date, ratified in all respects without any
requirement of further action by stockholders, Creditors, directors, members or managers of the
Debtors. Without limiting the foregoing, such actions may include: the adoption and filing of the
Reorganized UAL Charter and Reorganized UAL Bylaws; the appointment of directors and officers for
the Reorganized Debtors; the Rights Offering, if any; the adoption, implementation and/or amendment
of the Management Equity Incentive Plan, the Director Equity Incentive Plan; and the execution,
delivery, and performance of the New Credit Facility.
9. Certificate of Incorporation, Charter, and Bylaws
The certificates of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents relating to limited
liability companies) of the Debtors shall be amended as may be required to be consistent with the
provisions of the Plan and the Bankruptcy Code. The certificate of incorporation of Reorganized
UAL shall be amended to, among other things: (i) authorize 1,000,000,000 shares of New UAL Common
Stock; (ii) authorize [___] shares of Serial Preferred Stock; (iii) authorize 5,000,000 shares of
New UAL Convertible Preferred Stock; (iv) authorize one (1) share of Class Pilot MEC Junior
Preferred Stock; (v) authorize one (1) share of Class IAM Junior Preferred Stock; (vi) pursuant to
Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, include (a) a provision prohibiting the issuance of
non-voting equity securities for two (2) years, but only to the extent required by Section
1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (b) a provision setting forth an appropriate distribution of
voting power among classes of equity securities possessing voting power, including, in the case of
any class of equity securities having a preference over another class of equity securities with
respect to dividends, adequate provisions for the election of directors representing such preferred
class in the event of default in the payment of such dividends; and (vii) include restrictions on
the direct or indirect transferability of the New UAL Common Stock. On or as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall file new certificates
of incorporation with the secretary of state (or equivalent state officer or entity) of the state
118
under which each such Reorganized Debtor is or is to be incorporated. After the Effective
Date, each Reorganized Debtor may file a new, or amend and restate its existing, certificate of
incorporation, charter, and other constituent documents as permitted by the relevant state
corporate law.
10. Effectuating Documents, Further Transactions
On the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Debtors, the
Reorganized Debtors, and the officers, members of the board of directors, and managers thereof are
authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, securities,
instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan
and the securities issued pursuant to the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized
Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorizations, or consents except for those expressly
required pursuant to the Plan.
11. Post-Effective Date Financing
The Reorganized Debtors may enter into the New Credit Facility to obtain the funds necessary
to satisfy the DIP Facility Claims, make other payments under the Plan, and conduct their

or who has received services from the Debtors or a transfer of money or property of the Debtors, or
who has transacted business with the Debtors, or leased equipment or property from the Debtors
should assume that such obligation, transfer, or transaction may be reviewed by the Debtors
subsequent to the Effective Date and may, to the extent not theretofore expressly waived,
relinquished, released, compromised, or settled, be the subject of an action after the Effective
Date, whether or not: (a) such Person has Filed a Proof of Claim against the Debtors in the Chapter

Each Collective Bargaining Agreement to which any Debtor is a party, as modified and/or
amended from time to time, including by and through the Section 1113 Restructuring Agreements,
shall be deemed automatically assumed in accordance with the provisions and requirements of
Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date; provided,
however, nothing in Article VII.F.1 of the Plan or otherwise in the Plan shall be deemed as
an assumption of any pension plan, retirement plan, savings plan, health plan, or other employee
benefit plan discontinued or terminated during the Chapter 11 Cases. The assumption and the Cure
of the Collective Bargaining Agreements, in accordance with the terms of the Section 1113
Restructuring Agreements, shall be in full satisfaction of all Claims and Interests arising under
all previous Collective Bargaining Agreements between all parties to the Plan or their
predecessors-in-interest. Upon assumption of the Collective Bargaining Agreements and the Section

and forever barred from assertion automatically and without any further notice to or action, order,
or approval of the Bankruptcy Court: (i) all Proofs of Claim filed by the Debtors Unions; and (ii)
all Proofs of Claim filed by Union-represented employees pertaining to rights collectively
bargained for or disposed of pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreements in the ordinary
course of business, including, without limitation, Claims on account of grievances, reinstatement,
and pension obligations; provided, however, that such treatment is without
prejudice to the respective Unions pursuit, payment, or satisfaction of such Claims in the
ordinary course under the relevant assumed Collective Bargaining Agreement; provided,
further, however, that the Debtors reserve the right to seek adjudication of any
Collective Bargaining Agreement-related dispute that concern distributions, claims, restructuring
transactions, or other aspects of the Plan between the Debtors and the relevant union in the
Bankruptcy Court.
b. Reservation of Rights Pending Resolution of Litigation
Notwithstanding Article VII.F.1 of the Plan, the AFA Collective Bargaining Agreement, as
modified and/or amended from time to time through the Effective Date, including by and through the
AFA Section 1113 Restructuring Agreements, shall be deemed conditionally assumed in accordance with
the provisions and requirements of Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective
Date; provided, however, that if after the Effective Date: (a) the terminated
Flight Attendant Defined Benefit Plan is restored for any reason (including without limitation as a
result of legislative, administrative, judicial or other activity (including without limitation as
a result of the reversal of the PBGC Settlement Agreement on appeal, the voiding or invalidation of
the relevant termination and trusteeship agreement and/or PBGC notice of determination, etc.), such
that the Reorganized Debtors determine in their discretion that re-termination of the Flight
Attendant Defined Benefit Plan is required; or (b) the AFA 2005 Restructuring Agreement is
terminated for any reason (including without limitation based on arbitration between the parties
based on the AFAs April 8, 2005 notice of termination of such Agreement); then in either event of

Flight Attendant Defined Benefit Plan under Title IV of ERISA and/or rejection of the AFA
Collective Bargaining Agreement (as modified and/or amended from time to time) under Section 1113
of the Bankruptcy Code, notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date.

130
7. Postpetition Aircraft Agreements
Subject to the Debtors right to terminate or reject any Postpetition Aircraft Agreement prior
to Consummation of the Plan pursuant to the terms of such Agreement: (i) each Postpetition Aircraft
Agreement shall remain in place after the Effective Date; (ii) the Reorganized Debtors shall
continue to honor each such Agreement according to its terms; and (iii) to the extent any
Postpetition Aircraft Agreement requires the assumption by the Debtors of such Agreement and the
Postpetition Aircraft Obligation arising thereunder, each such Postpetition Aircraft Agreement and
Postpetition Aircraft Obligation shall be deemed assumed as of Consummation of the Plan;
provided, however, that the foregoing clause (iii) shall not be deemed or otherwise
interpreted as an assumption by the Debtors of any agreement or obligation that is not a
Postpetition Aircraft Agreement or Postpetition Aircraft Obligation; provided,
further, that nothing herein shall limit the Debtors right to terminate such contracts in
accordance with the terms thereof. Subsequent to the date of this Plan and prior to the Effective
Date, the Debtors may, in their sole and absolute discretion, enter into new Postpetition Aircraft
Agreements for Aircraft Equipment not currently subject to a Postpetition Aircraft Agreement, and
the Claims or obligations arising hereunder shall be treated as Postpetition Aircraft Obligations.
8. Postpetition Contracts and Leases
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein with respect to Postpetition Aircraft
Agreements and subject to the provisions of Article VII.K of the Plan, all contracts and leases
entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor will be performed by the Debtor or Reorganized
Debtor liable thereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions of such contracts and leases
in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases and other
obligations (including any executory contracts and unexpired leases assumed other than pursuant to
the Plan) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.
9. Assumed Executory Contracts and Leases
Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the
assumption or conditional assumption of the executory contracts and unexpired leases to be assumed
under the Plan as of the Effective Date, or as of a conditional assumption becoming final pursuant
to Article VII.E.2 or Article VII.E.3 of the Plan, pursuant to Sections 365 and 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code. Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed shall vest in and be
fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as may
be modified by the provisions of the Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing or
providing for its assumption, or applicable law.
The provisions (if any) of each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant
to the Plan that are or may be in default shall be satisfied solely by the Cure, or by an
agreed-upon waiver of the Cure. Except with respect to executory contracts and unexpired leases in
which the Debtors and the counterparties to such executory contracts and unexpired leases have
stipulated in writing to payment of the Cure, all requests for payment of the Cure must be filed
with the Claims Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors on or before the Cure Bar Date.
Any request for payment of the Cure that is not timely Filed and served shall be disallowed
automatically and shall be forever barred from assertion and shall not be enforceable against any
Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, any Estate, or property of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor without
the need for any objection by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and without any further notice
to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Claim for the Cure shall be
deemed fully satisfied, released and discharged, notwithstanding any amount or information included
in the Schedules or a Proof
132
of Claim filed prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order; provided,
however, that nothing shall prevent the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, in their sole
and absolute discretion, from making a Cure payment despite the failure of the relevant
counterparty to file and timely serve such request for payment of such Cure. The Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors may settle any Cure without any further notice to or action, order, or approval
of the Bankruptcy Court. If and to the extent that the Debtors and a counterparty to an executory
contract or unexpired lease have stipulated in writing to payment of the Cure, the Debtors will pay
such Cure as agreed.
If the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors object to a Cure or any potential contractual
obligation under any executory contract or unexpired lease that is assumed, the Bankruptcy Court
shall determine the Allowed amount of such Cure and any such potential contractual obligation. If
there is a dispute regarding (i) Cure, (ii) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee
to provide adequate assurance of future performance within the meaning of Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure shall occur as soon as
reasonably practicable following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and/or approving
the assumption (and, if applicable, assignment). The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the
right to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease no later than fifteen (15) days after the
later of (i) the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and the counterparty to such executory contract or
unexpired lease agree in writing to the amount of the Cure, or (ii) the entry of a Final Order
establishing the Cure.
The provisions of each executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the
Plan that are or may be in default shall be satisfied in a manner to be agreed to by the relevant
Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. Pursuant to Section 365(b)(2)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise, no Cure shall be allowed for a penalty rate or other form of default rate of interest.
Any and all proofs of claim based upon executory contracts or unexpired leases that have been
assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases or under the terms of the Plan shall be deemed disallowed and
expunged.
10. Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the
rejection or conditional rejection of the executory contracts and unexpired leases to be rejected
under the Plan as of the Effective Date, or as of a conditional rejection becoming final pursuant
to Article VII.E.2 or Article VII.E.3 of the Plan, pursuant to Sections 365 and 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The rejection of the executory contracts or unexpired leases of any counterparty
is not intended to be and shall not be construed as an indication of the unwillingness of the
Debtors and Reorganized Debtors to do business with the counterparty, and the Debtors and
Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to negotiate and enter into any contract or lease with any
counterparty at any time without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the Municipal Bond Leases, all executory
contracts and unexpired leases to be rejected pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed automatically
rejected in accordance with the provisions and requirements of Sections 365 and 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, or such earlier date as the Debtors may have terminated
their performance under such executory contract or unexpired lease, unless another effective date
of rejection shall be set forth in the Plan Supplement for such executory contract or unexpired
lease; provided, however, that the effective date of rejection for executory
contracts or unexpired leases may be later than the Effective Date of the Plan.
133
On or after the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors reserve their rights
to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, or litigate to judgment (and/or abandon, settle, compromise,
release, or withdraw) any and all such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action, including, without
limitation, such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action on account of indemnification, breach of
confidentiality, breach of contract, and breach of express or implied warranty that they may have
under any executory contract or unexpired lease, notwithstanding the rejection of such executory
contract or unexpired lease.
A non-Debtor party to an executory contract or unexpired lease whose executory contract or
unexpired lease is being or has been rejected under the Plan may request that the Debtors assume
such executory contract or unexpired lease by sending a written notice to the counsel to the
Debtors, which notice shall include a waiver of any defaults (including payment defaults) and any
right to any Cure under such executory contract or unexpired lease. The Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors may, in their sole and absolute discretion, assume such executory contract or unexpired
lease without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
All Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of executory contracts
or unexpired leases pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, other than Municipal Bond Leases, if any,
must be Filed with the Claims Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors no later than thirty
(30) days after the earliest of (i) the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving
such rejection, (ii) the date of service of a notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease
has been rejected, and (iii) the effective date of rejection. All Proofs of Claim with respect to
Claims arising from the conditional rejection of Municipal Bond Leases pursuant to the Plan must be
Filed with the Claims Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors no later than thirty (30) days
after a conditional rejection becoming final pursuant to Article VII.E.2 or Article VII.E.3 of the
Plan. Any Proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease
that are not timely Filed and served shall be disallowed automatically and shall be forever barred
from assertion and shall not be enforceable against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, any Estate,
or property of any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor without the need for any objection by the Debtors
or the Reorganized Debtors and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court, and the Claim for rejection of the executory contract or unexpired lease shall be
deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding any amount or information
included in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim filed prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order.
Rejection of any executory contract pursuant to the Plan, or otherwise, shall not constitute a
termination of pre-existing obligations owed to the Debtors. In particular, the Debtors,
notwithstanding any state or non-bankruptcy law to the contrary, expressly reserve and do not waive
any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a contract counter-party to provide,
warranties or continued maintenance obligations on goods previously purchased by the Debtors from
contract counter-parties to rejected executory contracts.
11. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements
Unless otherwise provided, each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed,
whether or not such executory contract or unexpired lease relates to the use, ability to acquire,
or occupancy of real property, shall include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements,
restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or
other document that in any manner affect such executory contract or unexpired lease, and (ii) all
executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, if any, including all
easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal,
powers, uses, reciprocal easement agreements, and any other interests in real estate or rights in
rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to
an order of the Bankruptcy Court or is otherwise rejected as part of the Plan.
134
Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to executory contracts and unexpired
leases entered into before the Petition Date that have been executed by the Debtors during the
Chapter 11 Cases, and actions taken in accordance therewith, (i) do not alter in any way the
pre-petition nature of the executory contract or unexpired lease entered into before the Petition
Date, or the validity, priority or amount of any Claims against the Debtors that may arise under
such contracts and leases, (ii) are not and do not create a postpetition contract or lease, (iii)
do not elevate to administrative expense priority any Claims of the counterparty to the executory
contracts and unexpired leases against any of the Debtors, and (iv) do not entitle any entity to a
Claim under any Section of the Bankruptcy Code on account of the difference between the terms of
any executory contract or unexpired lease entered into before the Petition Date and modification,
amendment, supplement, or restatement.
12. Reservation of Rights
Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease by the Debtors on any exhibit in
the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the
Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an executory contract or unexpired lease or that
any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, or their respective Affiliates, has any liability thereunder.
Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, nothing in the Plan shall waive,
excuse, limit, diminish, or otherwise alter any of the defenses, Claims, Causes of Action, or other
rights of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors under any executory or non-executory contract or
any unexpired or expired lease.
Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, nothing in the Plan shall increase,
augment, or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtors
and the Reorganized Debtors under any executory or non-executory contract or any unexpired or
expired lease.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve

not limited to, the list of Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, Rejected Interline
& Alliance Related Agreements, Revenue Related Agreements, and Intercompany Contracts, the
Rejected Current Employment Agreements and Indemnification Obligations, and the Rejected Former
Employment Agreements and Indemnification Obligations, in the Plan Supplement at any time through
and including thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.
If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired
at the time of assumption or rejection, then the Debtors shall have thirty (30) days following
entry of a final non-appealable order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such
contract or lease.
13. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date
In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain
jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting executory
contracts or unexpired leases, including, without limitation, assuming or rejecting unexpired
leases pursuant to Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
14. Personnel Regulations Series 15
To the extent that Personnel Regulations Series 15, the Debtors written personnel policies
governing certain of their employees, is deemed to be an executory contract, notwithstanding the
disclaimer that such document expressly provides that it does not create any contractual rights and
can be
135
modified at any time, the Debtors reject such agreement upon the Effective Date with all
counterparties who are individuals. The Debtors shall issue a modified version of Personnel
Regulations Series 15 as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date. All Claims of
any individual on account of the Personnel Regulations Series 15 and any similar regulations
accruing prior to the Effective Date are deemed disallowed and expunged pursuant to the terms of
the Plan.

Allowed, unless and until such Claim or Interest is Deemed Allowed pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code
or the Bankruptcy Court enters a Final Order in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim or
Interest. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any Final Order entered in the Chapter 11
Cases prior to the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), after Confirmation each
Reorganized Debtor shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had with

compromise, release, or withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims or Interests;
administer Claims and Interests; and make distributions (if any) on account of Claims and
Interests, all without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
From and after the Effective Date, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise,
in their sole and absolute discretion, any Disputed Claim or Interest without any further notice to

authorizing certain estimation procedures, which estimation procedures (as amended or modified) are
specifically incorporated herein, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may at any
time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent, disputed, or unliquidated Claim or
Interest pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason regardless of whether
such Debtors or Reorganized Debtors have previously objected to such Claim or Interest or whether
the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain
jurisdiction to estimate any Claim or Interest at any time during the litigation of any objection
to any Claim or Interest, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to such objection.
In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent, disputed, or unliquidated Claim,
that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim, and the relevant Debtor
or Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate
distribution on such Claim. All of the aforementioned Claims or Interests and objection,
estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one
136
another. Claims and Interests may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled,
withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding Section
502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any Holder of a Claim that has been estimated
pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration
of the estimation of such Claim unless the Holder of such Claim has filed a motion requesting the
right to seek such reconsideration on or before twenty (20) days after the date such Claim is
estimated.

that has been amended or superceded, may be adjusted and/or expunged on the official claims

Debtors, as applicable, without a claims objection having to be Filed and without any further
notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

filed a Proof of Claim, by not opting out of such Class, such Holder shall be deemed to have an
Allowed Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claim against United in the amount reflected on such
Holders Ballot; provided, however, that if a Holder of an Unsecured Retiree
Convenience Class Claim opts out of the Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class, the Debtors reserve
the right to dispute the validity and amount of the Holders Claim, and shall not be deemed to have
agreed to the amount set forth on such Ballot. A Holder of an Unsecured Retiree Convenience Claim
opting out of the Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class but who did not file a Proof of Claim prior
to the applicable Bar Date shall be deemed to have an Other Unsecured Claim against United on
account of such Claim in an unliquidated amount, subject to the Debtors above-stated reservation
of rights to dispute the Claim.
6. Disallowance of Claims
Any and all Claims held by Entities from which property is recoverable under Section 542, 543,
550, or 553 of this title, or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under Section 522(f),
522(h), 544, (545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of this title, shall be Deemed disallowed pursuant to
Section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may not vote to accept or reject
the Plan or receive any distributions on account of such Claims, both consequences to be in effect
until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Final Order
with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due to the Debtors by that Entity have been
turned over to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. Any and all Proofs of Claim
Filed after the relevant Bar Date shall be disallowed and expunged for all purposes, and Holders of
such Claims may not vote to accept or reject the Plan or receive any distributions on account of
such Claims, unless such Creditors request on or before the Confirmation Hearing that the
Bankruptcy Court deem such late claim as being timely filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006. All
Claims Filed after the relevant Bar Date that are (i) not deemed timely filed pursuant to
Bankruptcy Rule 9006 on or before the Confirmation Hearing, or (ii) not the subject of a request
that the Bankruptcy Court deem such late claim as being timely filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule
9006 as of the Confirmation Hearing shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective
Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. All
Claims filed on account of an Indemnification Obligation to a director, officer, or employee shall
be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date to the extent such Indemnification
Obligation is assumed pursuant to this Plan without any further notice to or action, order, or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
137
7. Offer of Judgment
Notwithstanding any limitations on the applicability of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 and
any other Bankruptcy Rules, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized
to serve upon a Holder of a Claim or Interest an offer to allow judgment to be taken against the
respective Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, on account of such Claim or Interest, and
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply to such offer of judgment. To the extent the Holder
of a Claim or Interest must pay the costs incurred by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors after
the making of such offer, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are entitled to
setoff such amounts against the amount of any distribution to be paid to such Holder without any
further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
8. Amendments to Claims
A Claim may be amended prior to the Confirmation Date only as agreed upon by the Debtors and
the holder of such Claim, or as otherwise permitted by the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Code,
the Bankruptcy Rules or applicable law. After the Confirmation Date except as provided in Article
VII.J of the Plan, a Claim may not be filed or amended without the prior authorization of the
Bankruptcy Court. Any such new or amended Claim filed after the Confirmation Date shall be deemed
disallowed in full and expunged without any action by the Debtors, or the Reorganized Debtors,
unless the Claim holder has obtained prior Bankruptcy Court authorization for the filing.
H. Provisions Governing Distributions
1. Distributions for Claims and Interests Allowed as of the Effective Date
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, or as
determined by the Debtors in their sole and absolute discretion, all distributions under the Plan
shall be made on a Periodic Distribution Date.
For purposes of determining the accrual of interest, dividends, or rights with respect to any
other payment from and after the Effective Date, unless the terms of such securities set forth
otherwise, the New Credit Facility and the New UAL Plan Securities shall be deemed issued as of the
Effective Date, regardless of the date on which they are actually dated, authenticated, or
distributed; provided, however, that the respective Reorganized Debtor shall
withhold any actual payment or distribution until such distribution is made and no interest may
accrue or otherwise be payable on any such withheld amounts.
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the DIP
Facility, or a postpetition agreement in writing between the Debtors and a Holder of a Claim,
postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be
entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right. Additionally,
and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with
respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account
of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
The aggregate consideration paid to Holders with respect to their Allowed Claims shall be
treated pursuant to the Plan as allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claim (to
the extent thereof) and, thereafter, to the interest, if any, accrued thereon through the Effective
Date.
138
2. Distribution Agent
The Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required pursuant to the Plan except with
respect to a Holder of a Claim whose distribution is governed by an agreement and is administered
by a Servicer, which distributions shall be deposited with the appropriate Servicer, who shall
deliver such distributions to the Holders of Claims in accordance with the provisions of the Plan
and the terms of the governing agreement.
3. Delivery of Distributions in General
Except as provided in Article IV.H.10 of the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims
and Allowed Interests shall be made to those Holders of such Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests
of record as of the Distribution Record Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, and
notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be
made by the Distribution Agent or the appropriate Servicer, as appropriate, in such Entitys sole
and absolute discretion by first class mail, postage prepaid, (a) in accordance with Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (b) to the signatory
set forth on any of the Proofs of Claim or Interest filed by such Holder or other representative
identified therein (or at the last known addresses of such Holder if no Proof of Claim or Interest
is filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address); (c) at the
addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Distribution Agent
after the date of any related Proof of Claim or Interest; (d) at the addresses reflected in the
Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Distribution Agent has not received a written
notice of a change of address; (e) in the case of a Holder whose Claim is governed by an agreement
and administered by a Servicer, at the addresses contained in the official records of such
Servicer; or (f) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the Holders behalf.
Except as provided in Article VI.V of the Plan, distributions to the various Classes of Claims
pursuant to the Plan shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or like legal process
by any Holder of Claims, so that each Holder of Claims shall have and receive the benefit of the
distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan. Neither the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors,
nor the Distribution Agent shall incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions so
long as such distributions are made to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests of record as
of the Distribution Record Date or to Servicers, if applicable.
4. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to be Distributed
Subject to any reserves or holdback established pursuant to the Plan, on the appropriate
Periodic Distribution Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of an
Allowed Claim against or Allowed Interest in the Debtors shall receive the distributions provided
for Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests in the applicable Class as of such date. If and to the
extent that there are Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests, distributions on account of such
Disputed Claims or Interests shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Plan.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate
As of the Effective Date, any Unsecured Claim asserted in currency(ies) other than U.S.
dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the
exchange rate as of Monday, December 9, 2002, as quoted at 4:00 p.m., mid-range spot rate of
exchange for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street Journal, National
Edition, on December 10, 2002.
139
6. Minimum Distribution
Fractional Securities; Fractional Dollars: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
payments of fractions of shares of New UAL Common Stock shall not be made and shall be deemed to be
zero. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Distribution Agent shall not be
required to make distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment of Cash of
a fraction of a dollar pursuant to the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment shall
reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars or
less being rounded down.
De Minimis Distributions: Neither the Distribution Agent nor any Servicer shall have any
obligation to make a distribution on account of an Allowed Claim from the New UAL Stock Reserve or
otherwise if (i) the aggregate amount of all distributions authorized to be made from such New UAL
Stock Reserve or otherwise on the Periodic Distribution Date in question is or has an economic
value less than $10,000,000, except the final distribution, or (ii) if the amount to be distributed
to the specific Holder of an Allowed Claim on the particular Periodic Distribution Date does not
constitute a final distribution to such Holder and is or has an economic value less than $25.00.
Undeliverable Distributions In General. If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim
or Allowed Interest is returned to a Distribution Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions
shall be made to such Holder unless and until such Distribution Agent is notified in writing of
such Holders then-current address, at which time all currently due missed distributions shall be
made to such Holder without interest. Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession
of the Reorganized Debtors until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable, and shall not be
supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind. As soon as reasonably
practicable, a Distribution Agent shall make all distributions that become deliverable.
Reallocation and Reversion. All distributions under the Plan that are unclaimed for a period
of six (6) months after distribution thereof shall be deemed unclaimed property under Section
347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and revested in the Reorganized Debtors. Upon such revesting, the
Claim of any Holder or its successors with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever
barred notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. The provisions of the
Plan regarding undeliverable distributions shall apply with equal force to distributions made
pursuant to any Indenture or Certificate issued by the Debtors, notwithstanding any provision in
such Indenture or Certificate to the contrary and notwithstanding any otherwise applicable escheat,
abandoned, or unclaimed property law.
7. Manner of Payment Pursuant to the Plan
Any payment in Cash to be made pursuant to the Plan shall be made at the election of the
Reorganized Debtor by check or by wire transfer.
8. Time Bar to Payment
Checks issued by the Distribution Agent (or Servicer, if applicable) on account of Allowed
Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within ninety (90) days from and after the date of
issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Distribution
Agent by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was
issued, and shall be made on or before the later of: (i) the subsequent Periodic Distribution Date
that is at least forty-five (45) days after such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim; or (ii)
one-hundred and fifty (150) days after the date of issuance of such check. After such date, Claims
for the reissuance of checks shall be discharged and forever barred, and the Reorganized Debtors
shall retain all funds related thereto for distribution to the beneficiaries of the Reorganized
Debtors in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
140
9. Disputed Claims
a. Reserve of New UAL Common Stock
On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall maintain in reserve shares of New UAL
Common Stock as the New UAL Stock Reserve. Nothing in the Plan shall require the Reorganized
Debtors to establish reserves of New UAL Common Stock on account of agreements, programs, and plans
set forth in Article VI.Q of the Plan, which agreements, programs, and plans shall remain in place
after the Effective Date and which the Debtors shall continue to honor. The Distribution Agent
shall withhold in the New UAL Stock Reserve any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on
account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the property initially withheld in the New UAL
Stock Reserve, to the extent that such property continues to be withheld in the New UAL Stock
Reserve at the time such distributions are made or such obligations arise, and such dividends,
payments, or other distributions shall be held for the benefit of Holders of Disputed Claims whose
Claims, if allowed, are entitled to distributions under the Plan. As Disputed Claims and Interests
are Allowed, (a) the Distribution Agent shall distribute, in accordance with the terms of the Plan,
New UAL Common Stock to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims, and (b) the New UAL Stock Reserve
shall be adjusted. The amount of New UAL Common Stock withheld as a part of the New UAL Stock
Reserve shall be equal to the number of shares the Reorganized Debtors determine is necessary to
satisfy the distributions required to be made pursuant to the Plan when each Disputed Claim is
ultimately determined to be an Allowed Claim or is disallowed. Notwithstanding anything in the
applicable Holders Proof of Claim or otherwise to the contrary, the Holder of a Disputed Claim
shall not be entitled to receive or recover a distribution under the Plan on account of a Claim in
excess of the amount: (a) stated in the Holders Proof of Claim, if any, as of the Distribution
Record Date; or (b) if the Claim is contingent or unliquidated as of the Distribution Record Date,
the amount that the Debtors elect to withhold on account of such claim in the New UAL Stock
Reserve. The Distribution Agent may (but is not required to) request estimation for any Disputed
Claim that is contingent or unliquidated. Nothing in the Plan or Disclosure Statement shall be
deemed to entitle the Holder of a Disputed Claim to postpetition interest on such Claim. For
purposes of any post-Confirmation vote of New UAL Common Stock, the Distribution Agent or Servicer,
as applicable, shall be deemed to have voted any New UAL Common Stock held in the New UAL Stock
Reserve in the same proportion as all outstanding shares properly cast in such post-Confirmation
vote.
b. Tax Reporting Matters
Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or the courts to the contrary (including the
receipt by the Reorganized Debtors of a private letter ruling if the Reorganized Debtors so request
one or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit, if not contested by the
Reorganized Debtors), the Reorganized Debtors shall treat the New UAL Stock Reserve as a single
trust, consisting of separate and independent shares to be established with respect to each
Disputed Claim, in accordance with the trust provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. §§
641 et seq., and, to the extent permitted by law, shall report consistently with the foregoing for
federal, state, and local tax purposes. All Holders of Unsecured Claims shall report, for federal,
state, and local tax purposes, consistently with the foregoing. In addition, the Reorganized
Debtors are hereby authorized, on behalf of the Holders of Claims and Interests, to request an
expedited determination of tax liability pursuant to Section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all
taxable periods of the New UAL Stock Reserve ending after the Effective Date through the
termination of the New UAL Stock Reserve in accordance with the Plan.
c. Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims and Interests
Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, except as otherwise agreed by a
Debtor or Reorganized Debtor (for Claims against the Reorganized Debtors), no partial payments and
no partial
141
distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim or Interest until the resolution
of all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim by settlement or Final Order. On the
Periodic Distribution Date that is no less than thirty (30) calendar days after the Disputed Claim
or Disputed Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, the Holder of such Allowed Claim
or Allowed Interest shall receive all payments and distributions to which such Holder is then
entitled pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Person or Entity who holds both
an Allowed Claim and a Disputed Claim (or an Allowed Interest and a Disputed Interest) shall not
receive the appropriate payment or distribution on the Allowed Claim (or Allowed Interest) except
as otherwise agreed to by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, unless and until all
objections to the Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest have been withdrawn or resolved by settlement
or Final Order and the Claims or Interests have been allowed. In the event that there are Disputed
Claims or Interests requiring adjudication and resolution, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors
reserve the right to establish appropriate reserves for potential payment of such Claims or
Interests. Subject to Article IX.A of the Plan, all distributions made pursuant to the Plan on
account of an Allowed Claim shall be made together with any dividends, payments, or other
distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property
as if such Allowed Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the dates distributions were previously made
to Holders of Allowed Claims included in the applicable Class.
d. Compliance Matters
In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, each Debtor, each Reorganized Debtor,
and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed
on it by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such
withholding and reporting requirements. Each Debtor, each Reorganized Debtor, and the Distribution
Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such
withholding and reporting requirements. For tax purposes, distributions received with respect to
Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims, with any excess
allocated to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims.
10. Surrender of Canceled Instruments or Securities
On or before the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and except
as otherwise expressly agreed by the Debtors and applicable Holders, each Holder of a Certificate
shall surrender such Certificate to the Distribution Agent, or, with respect to indebtedness that
is governed by an agreement and administered by a Servicer, the respective agreement with the
Servicer, and such Certificate shall be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors and such
cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis
one another with respect to such instruments; provided, however, that Article IX.G
of the Plan shall not apply to any Claims or Interests Reinstated pursuant to the terms of the
Plan. No distribution of property pursuant to the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of any such
Holder unless and until such Certificate is received by the Distribution Agent or the respective
Servicer or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of
the Distribution Agent or the respective Servicer pursuant to the provisions of Article IX.I of the
Plan. Any Holder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate, or fails to
execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity acceptable to the Distribution Agent or the
respective Servicer prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, shall: (i) have its Claim
or Interest discharged; (ii) be forever barred from asserting any such Claim or Interest against
the relevant Reorganized Debtor or its property; (iii) be deemed to have forfeited all rights,
Claims, and Interests with respect to such Certificate; and (iv) not participate in any
distribution under the Plan, and all property with respect to such forfeited distribution,
including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors,
notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.
142
11. Services of Indenture Trustees, Agents and Servicers
The services, with respect to consummation of the Plan, of Servicers under the relevant
agreements that govern the rights of Creditors shall be as set forth elsewhere in this Plan, and
the Reorganized Debtors shall reimburse any Servicers for reasonable and necessary services
performed by it (including reasonable attorneys fees) as contemplated by, and in accordance with,
this Plan, without the need for filing an application with, or approval by, the Bankruptcy Court.
12. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Debt Securities
Any Holder of Allowed Claims or Interests evidenced by a Certificate that has been lost,
stolen, mutilated, or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering such Certificate, deliver to the
Distribution Agent: (i) an affidavit of loss acceptable to the Distribution Agent setting forth the
unavailability of the Certificate; and (ii) such additional indemnity as may reasonably be required
by the Distribution Agent to hold the Distribution Agent harmless from any damages, liabilities, or
costs incurred in treating such Holder as a Holder of an Allowed Claim. Upon compliance with this
procedure by a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest evidenced by such a lost, stolen, mutilated,
or destroyed Certificate, such Holder shall, for all purposes pursuant to the Plan, be deemed to
have surrendered such Certificate.
13. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties
a. Claims Paid by Third Parties
To the extent a Creditor (i) receives a distribution on account of a Claim, and (ii) receives
payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such
Creditor shall, within thirty-days of receipt thereof, repay and/or return the distribution to the
applicable Reorganized Debtor; provided, however, that to the extent the non-debtor
party making the payment is subrogated to the Creditors Claim, the non-debtor party shall have a
thirty day grace period to notify the Claims Agent of such subrogation rights. To the extent the
Creditors total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds
the amount of the Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. A Creditors
failure to timely repay and/or return such distribution shall result in the Creditor owing the
applicable Reorganized Debtor an additional one percent (1%) of such amount owed for each Business
Day after the thirty-day grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.
b. Claims Payable by Third Parties
The Claims Agent shall reduce in full or part a Claim on the official claims register, without
a claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the Creditor receives payment on account of
such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor. To the extent that one or
more of the Debtors insurers agrees to satisfy a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a
court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers agreement, such Claim may be
expunged (to the extent of any agreed upon satisfaction) on the official claims register by the
Claims Agent without a claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or
action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
143
I. Effect of Confirmation of the Plan
1. Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the Bankruptcy Court shall be deemed to have made and
issued pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, made applicable to this proceeding pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 9014, certain findings of fact and conclusions of law as though made after due deliberation
and upon the record at the Confirmation Hearing. Any and all findings of fact in the Plan shall
constitute findings of fact even if they are stated as conclusions of law, and any and all
conclusions of law in the Plan shall constitute conclusions of law even if they are stated as
findings of fact.
As set forth in Article X.A of the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan shall mean that the Debtors,
as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of proving the elements of Sections 1129(a) and
1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable
evidentiary standard in the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court also finds that the Debtors
have satisfied the elements of Section 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by clear and
convincing evidence.
2. Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests
Pursuant to Section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, the distributions, rights, and treatment that
are provided in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of
the Confirmation Date (but subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date), of Claims and Causes
of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims from and after the
Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, liens on, obligations of, rights
against, and Interests in, the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether
any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such
Claims, rights, and Interests, including, without limitation, demands, liabilities, and Causes of
Action that arose before the Confirmation Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to
the extent such Claims relate to services performed by employees of the Debtors prior to the
Confirmation Date and that arise from a termination of employment or a termination of any employee
or retiree benefit program regardless of whether such termination occurred prior to or after the
Confirmation Date, and all debts of the kind specified in Sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the
Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not (i) a Proof of Claim or Interest based upon such debt,
right, or Interest is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to Section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a
Claim or Interest based upon such debt, right, or Interest is allowed pursuant to Section 502 of
the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) the Holder of such a Claim, right, or Interest has accepted the Plan.
The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims against,
liabilities of, and Interest in the Debtors, subject to the Effective Date occurring.
3. Subordinated Claims
The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Interests and the
respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account and/or conform to the
relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any
contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under
general principles of equitable subordination, Section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
Pursuant to Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors reserve the right to re-classify any
Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination
relating thereto.
144
4. Compromise and Settlement of Claims and Controversies
Pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration
for the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan
shall constitute a good faith compromise of all Claims or controversies relating to the
contractual, legal, and subordination rights that a Holder of a Claim may have with respect to any
Allowed Claim, or any distribution to be made on account of such an Allowed Claim. The entry of
the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Courts approval of the compromise or
settlement of all such Claims or controversies, and the Bankruptcy Courts finding that such
compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates, and Holders of
Claims and is fair, equitable, and reasonable. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan,
pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), without any further
notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors may compromise and
settle Claims against them and Causes of Action against other Entities, in their sole and absolute
discretion, and after the Effective Date, such right shall pass to the Reorganized Debtors.
5. Final Resolution of Reserved Rights
Notwithstanding any asserted or prior reservations of rights, on the Effective Date, any and
all objections to or reservations of rights to object to, the Claims and distributions provided for
under the Section 1113 Restructuring Agreements, the PBGC Settlement Agreement, or the SAM
Distribution, or any other distribution provided for under the Plan shall be deemed to have been
overruled, and any and all parties in interest are forever barred from objecting to or challenging
any such distributions; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall
extinguish an objection or challenge pending as of the Effective Date.
6. Releases by the Debtors
Pursuant to Section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, for good and valuable consideration, including the
service of the Released Parties to facilitate the expeditious reorganization of the Debtors and the
implementation of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan, on and after the Effective Date, the
Released Parties are deemed released and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and
the Estates from any and all Claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action,
remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including, without limitation, any derivative Claims asserted
on behalf of the Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter
arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or
their Affiliates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether
individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Interest or other Person
or Entity, based upon or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the
Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any
security of the Debtor, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any
Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between any
Debtor and any Released Party, the restructuring of Claims and Interests prior to or in the Chapter
11 Cases, the negotiation, formulation, or preparation of the Plan and Disclosure Statement, or
related agreements, instruments, or other documents, upon any other act or omission, transaction,
agreement, event, or upon any other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date other
than Claims or liabilities arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released Party
that constitutes a failure to perform the duty to act in good faith, with the care of an ordinarily
prudent person and in a manner the Released Party reasonably believed to be in the best interests
of the corporation (to the extent such duty is imposed by applicable non-bankruptcy law) where such
failure to perform constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence.
145
7. Exculpation
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Exculpated Party shall have or
incur, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated from any Exculpated Claim,
except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, but in all respects such Entities shall be
entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and
responsibilities pursuant to the Plan. The Debtors (and each of their respective Affiliates,
agents, directors, officers, employees, advisors, and attorneys) have, and upon Confirmation of the
Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the distributions of the securities pursuant to
the Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any
time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of
acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.
8. Releases by Holders of Claims and Interests
On and after the Effective Date, Holders of Claims and Interests (a) voting to accept the
Plan, or (b) abstaining from voting on the Plan and electing not to opt out of the release
contained in this paragraph, shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally,
irrevocably, and forever, released and discharged the Released Parties from any and all Claims,
obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever,
including any derivative Claims asserted on behalf of a Debtor, whether known or unknown, foreseen
or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that such Person or
Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based on
or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the Debtors
restructuring, the Debtors Chapter 11 Cases, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or

renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to,
discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or
another Entity with whom such Debtors or Reorganized Debtors has been associated, solely because
any of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors is or has been a debtor under Chapter 11, has been
insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, or during the Chapter 11 Cases but
before the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor is granted or denied a discharge, or has not paid a

12. Setoffs
Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan, each Debtor and Reorganized Debtor, as

Claim or Interest, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such Holder have
not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to
the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such
a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim or Interest pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver
or release by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action
that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may possess against such Holder. In no event shall any
Holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to setoff any Claim or Interest against any Claim, right,

otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to
Section 553 or otherwise.
13. Recoupment
In no event shall any Holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to recoup any Claim or
Interest against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor,
unless such Holder has performed such recoupment on or before the Confirmation Date,
notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or Interest or otherwise that such Holder
asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.

148
17. Reimbursement or Contribution
If the Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an entity pursuant to
Section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of
the time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim shall be forever disallowed notwithstanding
Section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Effective Date: (i) such Claim has been

Section 346 of the Bankruptcy Code shall apply to any taxes that may potentially result from,
or may be related to, the events, transactions and occurrences of the Plan and these Cases.

limited to, any employment, severance or termination, or insurance agreements, in effect on the
Effective Date and to which either of the Debtors is a party or under any applicable law of any
applicable Governmental Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors
reserve the right to selectively waive this provision of the Plan.

intent of the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan be confirmed in its entirety.
22. Confirmation of Less than All Subplans
In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation, the Debtors
may seek confirmation of any or all Subplans, but the Debtors inability to confirm any Subplan or
the Debtors election to withdraw any Subplan shall not impair the confirmation of any other

the Reorganized Debtors. The Reorganized Debtors, in their sole and absolute discretion, may

that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors object to an Administrative Claim, the Bankruptcy Court

Oversight Committee shall act by majority vote of its members.
(iv) Plan Oversight Committee Standing in the Bankruptcy Case: The Plan
Oversight Committees post-Effective Date standing and participation is limited to
the following Bankruptcy Court proceedings:
|
(a) |
|
any appeal from or motion related
to the Confirmation Order; |
|
|
(b) |
|
matters related to proposed
modifications or amendments to the Plan; |
|
|
(c) |
|
all applications for allowance of
compensation to professional persons; |
|
|
(d) |
|
any action to enforce, implement
or interpret the Plan; |
|
|
(e) |
|
any claim objection to the extent
the Committee has objected to such claim pursuant to Article
XVI.e of the Plan; and |
|
|
(f) |
|
such other matters as may be
agreed upon in advance and in writing by the Reorganized Debtors
in their sole and absolute discretion and the Plan Oversight
Committee. |
(v) Claims Objections, Avoidance Actions, and Other Matters
|
(a) |
|
The Reorganized Debtors shall
periodically report to and consult with the Plan Oversight
Committee concerning: |
|
(1) |
|
the status of
reconciliations, objections, resolutions, and settlement
of claims (including without limitation administrative
and cure claims) and procedures therefor; |
|
|
(2) |
|
reserves
established on account of such claims; |
|
|
(3) |
|
distributions on
account of such claims; and |
|
|
(4) |
|
the status of any
Avoidance Actions. |
|
(b) |
|
The Plan Oversight Committee may
request that the Reorganized Debtors object to any particular
Claim with a face amount in |
157
|
|
|
excess of $1,000,000, failing which the Plan Oversight
Committee, for good cause shown and after giving the
Reorganized Debtors a reasonable period of time of at least
90 days and opportunity to object, may file a motion seeking
to commence such an objection on behalf of the estate, and
the Reorganized Debtors shall cooperate in all reasonable
respects in connection with the foregoing; provided, however,
that the Plan Oversight Committee shall be barred from
objecting to any Claim previously settled between the
Reorganized Debtors and the respective Creditor. The Plan
Oversight Committee shall have no liability to any party for
any action or omission to act with respect to Claims.
|
|
(c) |
|
The Reorganized Debtors shall
report to and consult with the Plan Oversight Committee
regarding the Reorganized Debtors decision to alter the
treatment (i.e., from assume to reject and vice versa) of an
executory contract or unexpired lease after the Confirmation
Date. |
|
|
(d) |
|
The rights and powers of the Plan
Oversight Committee are strictly limited to those matters
expressly enumerated in Article XV.D.2 and such rights and
powers may only be exercised in a manner consistent with the
terms and conditions set forth therein. Accordingly, nothing in
Article XV.D.2 of the Plan (nor in any other section of the
Plan) shall confer on the Plan Oversight Committee the right to
intervene in the claims objection, avoidance action, or other
proceedings in any way related to the Plan or the administration
of the Post-Confirmation Estate under Section 1109 of the
Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 7024, or otherwise. The Plan
Oversight Committee may not seek leave of court to expand its
role beyond that set forth in Article XV.D.2 of the Plan without
the prior written consent of the Reorganized Debtors, which may
be withheld in the Reorganized Debtors sole and absolute
discretion. |
(vi) Plan Oversight Committee Compensation, Expense Reimbursement, and
Professional Representation
|
(a) |
|
Plan Oversight Committee
Member Expense Reimbursement: The members of the Plan
Oversight Committee shall serve without compensation, but they
shall be reimbursed by the Reorganized Debtors for their
reasonable and necessary out of pocket expenses incident to the
performance of their duties within 30 days of their submission
of a detailed invoice, without further order of Court. In the
event that the Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Oversight
Committee objects to the amount of expenses requested by a
member to be reimbursed, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay any
undisputed portion and the objecting party shall file an
objection to the balance with the Bankruptcy Court, which shall
determine the amount to be paid. |
158
|
(b) |
|
Professional
Compensation: The Plan Oversight Committee may retain such
attorneys, accountants and other professionals as are reasonable
and necessary to assist the Plan Oversight Committee in the
performance of its duties; provided, however, that the Plan
Oversight Committee shall provide the Reorganized Debtors with
five (5) business days advance notice of any such retention.
Such professionals shall be compensated and reimbursed by the
Reorganized Debtors for their reasonable fees and necessary out
of pocket expenses that are consistent with the budget
established below within 30 days of their submission of detailed
invoices, without further order of Court. In the event that the
Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Oversight Committee objects to
the amount of fees and/or expenses sought by Committees
professionals, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay any undisputed
portion and the objecting party shall file an objection to the
balance with the Bankruptcy Court, which shall determine the
amount to be paid. |
|
|
(c) |
|
Budget: On or before the
confirmation of the Plan, and the first day of every quarter
thereafter, the prospective members of the Plan Oversight
Committee shall provide the Reorganized Debtors with a quarterly
budget of anticipated member expenses and professional fees and
expenses. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the
event that a particular Plan Oversight Committee members
expense reimbursement request exceeds $[___] per month, or the
Plan Oversight Committees total professional fees and expenses
exceed $[___] per month, such member and/or all such Committee
professionals, as the case may be, shall provide the Reorganized
Debtors with a written explanation of the reasons such fees
and/or expenses exceeded the anticipated budget (together with
the relevant invoice and/or expense reimbursement request), and
if the Reorganized Debtors reasonably believe that such fees
and/or expenses are unreasonable, they shall so inform the
relevant member and/or professionals, in which case such member
and/or professionals must submit the relevant invoice and/or
expense reimbursement (together with its written explanation) to
the Bankruptcy Court for allowance. |
(vii) Exculpation of Post Confirmation Committee: Except for their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, the members of the Post Confirmation
Committee shall not be liable to, and shall be exculpated under the Plan for any
liability to, any person or entity for any act taken or omitted by them and may, in
good faith, exercise or fail to exercise any of their rights, duties, obligations or
powers, nor shall the Committees agents (in their capacity as such) be responsible
for any recitals, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution,
validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Plan, the Disclosure
Statement or any exhibit thereto or be liable to any person or entity for any action
taken or omitted by them in the Chapter 11 Cases or otherwise in connection with
their duties.
159
(viii) Plan Oversight Committee Duration: The Plan Oversight Committee
shall be dissolved and its members discharged and released by order of the
Bankruptcy Court at the earlier of (a) upon completion of the functions assigned the
Plan Oversight Committee, (b) at such time as the Plan has been consummated, (c)
upon approval of its own application to the Bankruptcy Court, or (d) once two-thirds
of the total equity reserved for the unsecured creditor body under the Plan has been
distributed to such creditors; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, upon notice to the Plan Oversight Committee and a
hearing at any time after the First Distribution Date, the Reorganized Debtors may
apply to the Bankruptcy Court for the dissolution of the Plan Oversight Committee.
5. Reservation of Rights
Except as expressly set forth in the Plan, the Plan shall have no force or effect unless the
Bankruptcy Court shall enter the Confirmation Order. None of the filing of the Plan, any statement
or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by any Debtor with respect to the
Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan Supplement shall be or shall be deemed to be an
admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests
prior to the Effective Date.
6. Successors and Assigns
The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be
binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator, successor or
assign, affiliate, officer, director, agent, representative, attorney, beneficiaries, or guardian,
if any, of such Entity.
7. Service of Documents
a. Any pleading, notice, or other document required by the Plan to be served on or
delivered to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall be served pursuant to the

b. After the Effective Date, the currently existing Bankruptcy Rule 2002 service
list will be disregarded and any filings shall be served pursuant to the case
management order as the same may be amended or modified. Entities that wish to be
served with all filings in this case must file an electronic appearance with the
Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
parties must continue to comply with the case management order in the Chapter 11
Case, the Local Rules for the Northern District of Illinois, and the Federal Rules
of Bankruptcy Procedure.
c. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 2002 and 3020(c), within five business days of
the date of entry of this Confirmation Order, the Reorganized Debtors (or their
agents) shall provide the Notice of Confirmation by United States mail, first class
postage prepaid, by hand, or by overnight courier service to all parties having been
served with the Solicitation Notice; provided, however, that no
notice or service of any kind shall be required to be mailed or made upon any person
to whom the Debtors mailed a Solicitation Notice, but received such notice returned
marked undeliverable as addressed, moved, left no forwarding address or
forwarding order expired, or similar reason, unless the Debtors have been informed
in writing by such person, or are otherwise aware, of that persons new address. To
supplement the notice described in the preceding sentence, within fifteen days of
the date of this Order the Debtors shall publish Notice of Confirmation once in The
Wall Street Journal. Mailing and publication of the Notice of Confirmation in the
time and manner set forth in the preceding paragraph are good and sufficient under
the particular circumstances and in accordance with the requirements of Bankruptcy
Rules 2002 and 3020(c), and no further notice is necessary.
161
8. Term of Injunctions or Stays
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays
in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
order of the Bankruptcy Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or
stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until
the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall bar the taking of such other actions as are necessary to effectuate the
transactions specifically contemplated by the Plan or by the Confirmation Order.
9. Entire Agreement
Except as otherwise indicated, the Plan and the Plan Supplement (as amended from time to time)
supersede all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements,
understandings and representations on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated
into the Plan.
10. Governing Law
Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code
and Bankruptcy Rules) or unless otherwise specifically stated, the laws of the State of Illinois,
without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws, shall govern the rights, obligations,
construction and implementation of the Plan, any agreements, documents, instruments, or contracts
executed or entered into in connection with the Plan (except as otherwise set forth in those
agreements, in which case the governing law of such agreement shall control), and corporate
governance matters; provided, however, that corporate governance matters relating
to Debtors not incorporated in Illinois shall be governed by the laws of the state of incorporation
of the applicable Debtor.
11. Exhibits
All exhibits and documents included in the Plan Supplement are incorporated into and are a
part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan. Such exhibits and documents included in the
Plan Supplement shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Plan Supplement Filing
Date. After the exhibits and documents are filed, copies of such exhibits and documents can be
obtained by contacting Poorman-Douglas at the number above or by downloading such exhibits and
documents from the Debtors private website at http://www.pd-ual.com or the Bankruptcy Courts
website at http://www.ilnb.uscourts.gov. To the extent any exhibit or document is inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the non-exhibit or
non-document portion of the Plan shall control.
12. Nonseverability of Plan Provisions
All provisions of the Plan are integral thereto and no provision may be deleted or modified
without the Debtors consent, in their sole and absolute discretion.
13. Closing of Chapter 11 Cases
The Reorganized Debtors shall, promptly after the full administration of the Chapter 11 Cases,
file with the Bankruptcy Court all documents required by Bankruptcy Rule 3022 and any applicable
order of the Bankruptcy Court to close the Chapter 11 Cases.
162
14. Section Headings
The Section headings contained in the Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not
affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Plan.
15. Waiver or Estoppel
Each Holder of a Claim or an Interest shall be deemed to have waived any right to assert any
argument, including, without limitation, the right to argue that its Claim or Interest should be
Allowed in a certain amount, in a certain priority, secured or not subordinated by virtue of an
agreement made with the Debtors and/or their counsel, the Creditors Committee and/or its counsel,
or any other Person, if such agreement was not disclosed in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or
papers filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.
16. Conflicts
Except as set forth in the Plan, to the extent that any provision of the Disclosure Statement,
the Plan Supplement, or any other order referenced in the Plan (or any exhibits, schedules,
appendices, supplements, or amendments to any of the foregoing), conflict with or are in any way
inconsistent with any provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern and control; provided,
however, that to the extent that any provision of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan
Supplement, any other order referenced in the Plan, or the Plan (or any exhibits, schedules,
appendices, supplements, or amendments to any of the foregoing), conflict with or are in any way
inconsistent with any provision of the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall govern and
control.
ARTICLE V.
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN
The following is a brief summary of the Plan Confirmation process. Holders of Claims and
Interests are encouraged to review the relevant provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and/or to consult
their own attorneys.
A. The Confirmation Hearing
Section 1128(a) of the Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court, after notice, to hold a
hearing on Confirmation of the Plan (the Confirmation Hearing). Section 1128(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code provides that any party-in-interest may object to Confirmation of the Plan.
THE BANKRUPTCY COURT HAS SCHEDULED THE CONFIRMATION HEARING FOR [___], 2006 AT [___]:00
[A.M./P.M.] BEFORE THE HONORABLE EUGENE R. WEDOFF, UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY JUDGE, IN THE UNITED
STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, EASTERN DIVISION, LOCATED AT THE
EVERETT MCKINLEY DIRKSEN BUILDING, 219 S. DEARBORN, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60604. THE CONFIRMATION
HEARING MAY BE ADJOURNED FROM TIME TO TIME BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE EXCEPT
FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE ADJOURNED DATE MADE AT THE CONFIRMATION HEARING OR ANY ADJOURNMENT
THEREOF.
OBJECTIONS TO CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN MUST BE FILED AND SERVED ON OR BEFORE [___],
2005 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SOLICITATION NOTICE AND PROCEDURES IN THE PLAN SUPPLEMENT, AS EXHIBIT
1. UNLESS OBJECTIONS TO CONFIRMATION ARE TIMELY SERVED AND FILED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
163
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ORDER, THE SOLICITATION NOTICE, AND THE VOTING PROCEDURES, THEY WILL NOT
BE CONSIDERED BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.
B. Confirmation Standards
To confirm the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court must find that the requirements of Section 1129 of
the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied, among other things. The requirements of Section 1129 of
the Bankruptcy Code are listed below:
1. The Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code;
2. The Debtors, as Plan proponents, will have complied with the applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code;
3. The Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law;
4. Any payment made or promised under the Plan for services or for costs and expenses in, or
in connection with, the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the case,
has been disclosed to the Bankruptcy Court, and any such payment made before the Confirmation of
the Plan is reasonable, or if such payment is to be fixed after the Confirmation of the Plan, such
payment is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable;
5. With respect to each Class of Impaired Claims or Interests, either each Holder of a Claim
or Interest of such Class has accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan on account
of such Claim or Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not
less than the amount that such Holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated on
such date under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code;
6. Each Class of Claims or Interests that is entitled to vote on the Plan either has accepted
the Plan or is not impaired under the Plan, or the Plan can be confirmed without the approval of
each voting Class pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code;
7. Except to the extent that the Holder of a particular Claim will agree to a different
treatment of such Claim, the Plan provides that Allowed Administrative and Allowed Other Priority
Claims will be paid in full on the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter;
8. At least one Class of Impaired Claims or Interests will accept the Plan, determined without
including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider holding a Claim of such Class;
9. Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for
further financial reorganization, of the Debtors or any successor to the Debtors under the Plan,
unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the Plan;
10. All fees of the type described in 28 U.S.C. § 1930, including the fees of the U.S.
Trustee, will be paid as of the Effective Date; and
11. The Plan addresses payment of retiree benefits in accordance with Section 1114 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
The Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code, including, without limitation, that (a) the Plan satisfies or will satisfy all of the
statutory
164
requirements of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) they have complied or will have
complied with all of the requirements of Chapter 11, and (c) the Plan has been proposed in good
faith.
C. Best Interests of Creditors Test/Liquidation Analysis and Valuation Analysis
Under the Bankruptcy Code, confirmation of a plan also requires finding that the plan is in
the best interests of creditors. Under the best interests test, the Bankruptcy Court must find
(subject to certain exceptions) that the Debtors Plan provides, with respect to each Class, that
each Holder of a Claim or Interest in such Class: (i) has accepted the Plan; or (ii) will receive
or retain under the Plan property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the
amount that such Person would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated under Chapter 7 of
the Bankruptcy Code.
This analysis requires that the Bankruptcy Court determine what the Holders of Allowed Claims
and Allowed Interests in each Impaired Class would receive if the Debtors Chapter 11 Cases were
converted to Chapter 7 liquidation cases, and a Chapter 7 trustee was appointed to liquidate all of
the Debtors assets into cash. The Debtors liquidation value would consist primarily of
unencumbered and unrestricted cash held by the Debtors at the time of the conversion to a Chapter 7
liquidation and the proceeds resulting from the sale of the Debtors remaining unencumbered assets
by a Chapter 7 trustee. The gross cash available for distribution would be reduced by the costs
and expenses incurred in effectuating the Chapter 7 liquidation and any additional Administrative
Claims incurred during the Chapter 7 cases.
The Bankruptcy Court then must compare the value of the distributions from the proceeds of the
hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation (after subtracting the Chapter-7-specific claims and
administrative costs) with the value offered to the Classes of Claims and Interests under the Plan.
In that regard, it is possible that in Chapter 7, Claims and Interests may not be classified in
the same manner as set forth in the Plan. The Debtors believe that in a hypothetical liquidation
of the Debtors assets, the rule of absolute priority of distribution would apply, i.e., no junior
Creditor would receive any distribution until payment in full of all senior Creditors and no
shareholder would receive any distribution until payment in full of all Creditors. In a
hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation case, therefore, the Debtors available assets generally would
be distributed to Creditors and Interest Holders in the following order: (i) DIP Facility Claims;
(ii) Secured Claims; (iii) Administrative Claims; (iv) Priority Claims; (v) Unsecured Claims; (vi)
debt expressly subordinated by its terms or by order of court; and (vii) Interest Holders.
Of the foregoing groups of Claims, under the Plan, the DIP Facility Claims, Secured Claims,
Priority Claims, and Administrative Claims are Unimpaired, meaning, in general, that the Plan
will leave their legal, equitable, and contractual rights unaltered. As a result, they are deemed
to accept the Plan and are not entitled to vote on the Plan. Therefore, because the Bankruptcy
Code requires that Creditors either accept the Plan or receive at least as much under the Plan
under in a hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation, the operative best interests inquiry in the
context of the Debtors Plan is whether in a Chapter 7 liquidation, after accounting for recoveries
by Secured, Priority, and Administrative Creditors, the Debtors general Unsecured Creditors and
Interest Holders, who are Impaired, will receive more or less than under the Debtors Chapter 11
Plan. If the probable distribution to Unsecured Creditors or Interest Holders is greater than the
distributions to be received by such parties under the Plan, then the Plan is not in the best
interests of unsecured Creditors and Interest Holders.
Because the Debtors propose to distribute equity to the Unsecured Creditors under the Plan
(with subordinated Claims and Interests not receiving any distribution), the Bankruptcy Court must
compare the value of the New UAL Common Stock to be distributed to Unsecured Creditors with the
distribution to such Unsecured Creditors in a hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation.
165
Included in the Plan Supplement as Exhibits 27 and 29, and as Appendices B and C hereto,
respectively are the Debtors Liquidation Analysis and Valuation Analysis. As described in more
detail in the Liquidation Analysis and the Valuation Analysis, the Debtors believe that the value
of distributions, if any, in a hypothetical Chapter 7 case to Unsecured Creditors would be less
than the value of distributions of New UAL Common Stock under the Plan. In a hypothetical Chapter
7 liquidation, Interest Holders would not receive any recovery.
1. Liquidation Analysis
Because the Plan contemplates substantive consolidation of the United Debtors, the Debtors
performed their hypothetical Liquidation Analysis under two scenarios: as if the Debtors Estates
were consolidated and not consolidated. The Liquidation Analysis indicates that on a consolidated
basis, all Allowed Administrative Claims would not be paid in full and Allowed Unsecured Claims and
all junior Classes would receive no distribution. On an unconsolidated basis, only the Unsecured
Creditors of ULS would receive any distribution, but the distributions received by Unsecured
Creditors of ULS would be less than the distribution to Unsecured Creditors proposed under the
Plan.
As set forth in greater detail in Appendix B hereto and in Exhibit 27 to the Plan Supplement,
the Liquidation Analysis incorporates certain assumptions and limitations. The Debtors believe
that any liquidation analysis is necessarily speculative. For example, the Liquidation Analysis
necessarily contains an estimate of the amount of Claims that will ultimately become Allowed
Claims. In preparing the Liquidation Analysis, the Debtors have projected an amount of Allowed
Claims based upon a review of their scheduled Claims and the Proofs of Claim filed to date.
Additions were made to the scheduled Claims to adjust for estimated Claims related to postpetition
obligations, administrative liabilities, employee-related obligations, unused ticket liability,
federal and state tax liability, and certain lease, contract rejection and/or damage
Claims.22 In addition, the determination of hypothetical proceeds from the liquidation of
the Debtors assets is an uncertain process involving the use of estimates and assumptions.
Although considered reasonable by the Debtors, such estimates and assumptions are inherently
subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond
the Debtors control. The Debtors based their liquidation values on best approximates of fair
market values and a number of estimates and assumptions regarding recoveries in a liquidation
(starting from a fair-market-value baseline), based on the Debtors experience in the airline
industry and advice from the Debtors professionals. In connection with calculating the proceeds
from a hypothetical liquidation of the Debtors assets, the Liquidation Analysis analyzes
alternative hypothetical scenarios under both a so-called forced liquidation and an orderly
liquidation. It is assumed that a forced liquidation would occur over a period of 12 months, while
an orderly liquidation would be performed over 18 months.
In either a forced or orderly liquidation, certain factors will limit the recovery from the
sale of the Debtors assets. For example, among the Debtors most valuable assets are its owned
Aircraft Equipment. Such equipment includes aircraft, spare engines, spare parts and rotables,
leasehold improvements on leased aircraft, deposits for aircraft and prepayments on aircraft
purchase contracts. In general, the owned Aircraft Equipment in the Debtors fleet either is
encumbered by the Liens of aircraft financiers or secures the DIP Facility. Due to the imbalance
in the market that the Debtors assume a
|
|
|
22 |
|
No order or finding has been entered by the
Bankruptcy Court estimating or otherwise fixing the amount of aggregate Allowed
Claims set forth in the Liquidation Analysis. The estimate of the amount of
Allowed Claims set forth in the Liquidation Analysis should not be relied on
for any other purpose, including, without limitation, determination of the
value of any distribution to be made on account of Allowed Claims and Interests
under the Plan. |
166
Chapter 7 liquidation would create, the gross proceeds from the sale of Aircraft Equipment
securing aircraft financier Liens would almost certainly be less than the corresponding debt
secured by the Aircraft Equipment. Therefore, the Chapter 7 trustee most likely would abandon the
Debtors owned but encumbered aircraft, resulting in net zero liquidation proceeds to the Debtors
Estate. Even though the Debtors would realize net liquidation proceeds from the aircraft securing
the DIP Facility (because unrestricted cash would be sufficient to pay off the DIP Facility), the
realization prospects for such Aircraft Equipment still would be diminished by the oversupply of
aircraft in the market. Moreover, the additional unsecured aircraft deficiency and other aircraft
damage Claims in a Chapter 7 liquidation would further dilute the recovery of Unsecured Creditors.
Some of the same factors depressing the recovery from the Debtors owned Aircraft Equipment
would affect the Debtors recovery from other non-Cash assets. Indeed, the proceeds received in a
Chapter 7 liquidation of the Debtors other non-Cash Assets would likely be significantly
discounted due to the distressed nature of the sale. In addition, the Debtors have significant
amounts of restricted Cash that a trustee likely could not access in a Chapter 7 liquidation. Much
of that amount has been deposited by the Debtors in connection with their workers compensation
programs. It is assumed that in a Chapter 7 liquidation, workers compensation-related Cash
deposits would be drawn and withheld to satisfy outstanding workers compensation liabilities. Any
excess funds would likely be withheld by state agencies or insurers for a long period of time.
Similar to the delay in retrieving excess restricted Cash in workers compensation-related
accounts, the inherent delay in receiving distributions in a Chapter 7 case would also affect
recoveries. In comparison to distributions under the Debtors Plan, distributions in a Chapter 7
case may not occur for a longer period of time, thereby reducing the present value of such
distributions. In this regard, it is possible that distribution of the proceeds of liquidation
would be delayed for a significant period so that a Chapter 7 trustee and his professionals could
become knowledgeable about the Chapter 11 Cases, the Claims against the Debtors, and the Debtors
business and operations. Thus, the present value of any distributions from the liquidation
proceeds of a hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation to each Class of Allowed Claims under Chapter 7
would be less than the present value of distributions under the Plan.
As already mentioned, the amount of liquidation proceeds available to Unsecured Creditors
would also be reduced by the costs of liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, including
the compensation of a trustee, counsel and other professionals retained by the trustee, asset
disposition expenses, additional Administrative Claims and other wind-down expenses. In general,
the Liquidation Analysis assumes Chapter 7 trustee fees of approximately 3% of liquidation
proceeds. In the United non-consolidated and in the consolidated liquidation analyses, the Debtors
assume that trustee fees are slightly discounted to 2.2%, based on certain benchmarks derived from
the Debtors review of other large Chapter 11 cases. The Debtors further estimate that the Chapter
7 trustees legal and other professionals, employed in connection with the liquidation and recovery
of assets, the wind-down of the Debtors Estates, and Claim reconciliation, would cost, for the
consolidated and United non-consolidated liquidation analyses, 1.62% of estimated liquidation
proceeds and, for all other non-consolidated liquidation analyses, 2.3%. It is assumed that the
Debtors also will incur further wind-down expenses, including storage and transportation of
Aircraft Equipment, auction fees, and employee wages.
Finally, there would be significant additional Claims against the Debtors Estates in a
Chapter 7 liquidation. Based on the balances as of June 30, 2005, the Debtors estimate over $906.5
million in DIP Facility Claims, over $5.9 billion in Chapter 11 Administrative Claims (not
including intercompany super-priority Administrative Claims if substantive consolidation is not
ordered), over $57 million in Priority Claims (including Priority Tax Claims), and over $29.5
billion in Unsecured Claims (again, not including Intercompany Claims if substantive consolidation
is not ordered). The Debtors bear joint and several liability for the DIP Facility Claims, the
PBGC termination Claim, and certain Priority Tax
167
Claims. These joint and several Claims would significantly diminish the recovery for
Unsecured Creditors across all of the Debtors Estates.
2. Valuation Analysis
The next step in the best interests analysis is a comparison of Impaired Creditors recovery
in a hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation with the estimated value of their distribution under the
Plan. In that regard, Rothschild has prepared the Valuation Analysis for the New UAL Common Stock
to be distributed to Unsecured Creditors under the Plan, which is included in Appendix C hereto and
included in the Plan Supplement as Exhibit 29. Rothschild estimated the value of New UAL Common
Stock as of the Effective Date.
In preparing its analysis, Rothschild has, among other things: (i) reviewed certain recent
publicly available financial results of the Debtors; (ii) reviewed certain internal financial and
operating data of the Debtors; (iii) discussed with certain senior executives the current
operations and prospects of the Debtors; (iv) reviewed certain operating and financial forecasts
prepared by the Debtors, including the Projections in this Disclosure Statement; (v) discussed with
certain senior executives of the Debtors key assumptions related to the Projections; (vi) prepared
discounted cash flow analyses based on the Projections, utilizing various discount rates; (vii)
considered the market value of certain publicly-traded companies in businesses reasonably
comparable to the operating business of the Debtors; (viii) considered the value assigned to
certain precedent change-in-control and recapitalization transactions for businesses similar to the
Debtors, as well as certain economic and industry information relevant to the operating business of
the Debtors; and (ix) conducted such other analyses as Rothschild deemed necessary under the
circumstances. Rothschild also has considered a range of potential risk factors, including: (a)
overhang and impact from operating under bankruptcy protection; (b) ability to execute and realize
savings from planned operational initiatives; (c) the Reorganized Debtors capital structure; (d)
ability to meet projected growth targets in all markets; (e) impact of the Debtors restructuring
and reorganization among competitors; (f) fuel availability and price volatility; (g) transparency
of pricing due to the internet; (h) aggressive pricing pressure from competitors and low cost
carriers; (i) exogenous risks; and (j) regulatory and legislative challenges.
Rothschild assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy, completeness, and fairness
of all of the financial and other information available to it from public sources or as provided to
Rothschild by the Debtors or their representatives. Rothschild also assumed that the Projections
have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the Debtors best estimates and judgment as to
future operating and financial performance. Rothschild did not make any independent evaluation of
the Debtors assets, nor did Rothschild verify any of the information it reviewed. To the extent
the valuation is dependent upon the Reorganized Debtors achievement of the Projections, the
valuation must be considered speculative. Rothschild does not make any representation or warranty
as to the fairness of the terms of the Plan.
In addition to the foregoing, Rothschild relied upon the following assumptions with respect to
the valuation of the Debtors:
|
|
|
The Effective Date occurs on or about February 1, 2006. |
|
|
|
|
The Debtors have access to the New Credit Facility as of the Effective Date. |
|
|
|
|
The pro forma net debt levels of the Debtors would be approximately $11.7 billion. |
|
|
|
|
The Debtors and their subsidiaries would have an estimated $2.7 billion in
unrestricted cash. |
168
|
|
|
The projections used in the valuation assume that a significant portion of
the Debtors net operating losses (NOLs) will be available to the Reorganized Debtors,
although subject to limitations under U.S. federal income tax laws. |
|
|
|
|
General financial and market conditions as of the Effective Date will not
differ materially from those conditions prevailing as of the date of this Disclosure
Statement. |
As a result of such analyses, review, discussions, considerations and assumptions, Rothschild
presented to the Debtors estimates that the total enterprise value (TEV) of the Debtors is
approximately $10.9 billion to $14 billion. Rothschild reduced such TEV estimates by the estimated
pro forma net debt levels of the Debtors (approximately $11.7 billion) and added the estimated
value of the Debtors NOLs (approximately $1.1 billion) to calculate the estimated total equity
value of the reorganized Debtors. Rothschild estimates that the Debtors total reorganized equity
value will range from $0.3 billion to $3.5 billion, with a midpoint value of $1.9 billion or
approximately $15 per share of New UAL Common Stock. These estimated ranges of values represent a
hypothetical value that reflects the estimated intrinsic value of the Debtors derived through the
application of various valuation methodologies. The equity value ascribed in the analysis does not
purport to be an estimate of the post-reorganization market trading value. Such trading value may
be materially different from the implied equity value ranges associated with Rothschilds valuation
analysis. Rothschilds estimate is based on economic, market, financial and other conditions as
they exist on, and on the information made available as of, the date of this Disclosure Statement.
It should be understood that, although subsequent developments may affect Rothschilds conclusions,
after the Confirmation Hearing on the Plan, Rothschild does not have any obligation to update,
revise or reaffirm its estimate.
The summary set forth above does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses
performed by Rothschild. The preparation of an estimate involves various determinations as to the
most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods in
the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an estimate is not readily susceptible to summary
description. The value of an operating business is subject to uncertainties and contingencies that
are difficult to predict and will fluctuate with changes in factors affecting the financial
conditions and prospects of such a business. As a result, the estimate of implied equity value set
forth herein is not necessarily indicative of actual outcomes, which may be significantly more or
less favorable than those set forth herein. In addition, estimates of implied equity value do not
purport to be appraisals, nor do they necessarily reflect the values that might be realized if
assets were sold. The estimates prepared by Rothschild assume that the Reorganized Debtors will
continue as the owner and operator of their businesses and assets and that such assets are operated
in accordance with the Debtors business plan. Depending on the results of the Debtors operations
or changes in the financial markets, Rothschilds valuation analysis as of the Effective Date may
differ from that disclosed herein.
In addition, the valuation of newly issued securities, such as the New UAL Common Stock, is
subject to additional uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict.
Actual market prices of such securities at issuance will depend upon, among other things,
prevailing interest rates, conditions in the financial markets, the anticipated initial securities
holdings of prepetition Creditors, some of which may prefer to liquidate their investment rather
than hold it on a long-term basis, and other factors that generally influence the prices of
securities. Actual market prices of such securities also may be affected by other factors not
possible to predict. Accordingly, the implied equity value estimated by Rothschild does not
necessarily reflect, and should not be construed as reflecting, values that will be attained in the
public or private markets.
THE FOREGOING VALUATION IS BASED UPON A NUMBER OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE
INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES AND
169
CONTINGENCIES BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE DEBTORS OR THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS. ACCORDINGLY,
THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE RANGES REFLECTED IN THE VALUATION WOULD BE REALIZED IF THE PLAN
WERE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE, AND ACTUAL RESULTS COULD VARY MATERIALLY FROM THOSE SHOWN HERE.
3. Application Of The Best Interests Test To The Liquidation Analysis And The Valuation Of The
Reorganized Debtors
Notwithstanding the difficulties in quantifying recoveries to Creditors with precision, the
Debtors believe that, taking into account the Liquidation Analysis and the Valuation Analysis of
the Reorganized Debtors, the Plan meets the best interests test of Section 1129(a)(7) of the
Bankruptcy Code.
Based on the Valuation Analysis and the Liquidation Analysis, the Debtors believe that the
members of each Impaired Class will receive more under the Plan than they would in liquidation in a
hypothetical Chapter 7 case. The Plan provides a better distribution to Impaired Classes (i.e.,
among others, Unsecured Creditors) in either a forced or orderly liquidation scenario and
irrespective of whether the Bankruptcy Court orders substantive consolidation of the Debtors
Estates. On a consolidated basis, the Debtors estimate that the net proceeds available for
distribution to Creditors by a Chapter 7 trustee would be approximately $4.4 billion in a forced
liquidation and approximately $5 billion in an orderly liquidation. In either scenario, the
Chapter 7 liquidation proceeds would satisfy in full all DIP Facility Claims and Secured Claims.
However, all Administrative Claims would not be paid in full, and Unsecured Creditors would receive
no distribution. On an unconsolidated basis, only Unsecured Creditors of ULS will receive a
distribution as follows: 2.07% in a forced liquidation and 2.83% in an orderly liquidation. Even
though Unsecured Creditors of ULS may receive a distribution in Chapter 7 liquidation, that
distribution is less than they would receive under the Plan. Thus, in the event the Bankruptcy
Court does not approve substantive consolidation of the Debtors estates, the Plan still satisfies
the best interests test because the recovery for Unsecured Creditors of ULS in a unconsolidated
liquidation scenario would be less than the value of the New UAL Common Stock that Unsecured
Creditors will receive under the Plan.
Unsecured Creditors will receive a better recovery under the Plan because the continued
operation of the Debtors as going concerns rather than a liquidation will allow the realization of
more value on account of the Debtors assets. Moreover, the Debtors employees will retain their
jobs and most likely assert few if any Claims against the Debtors Estates other than those
currently pending. Lastly, in the event of liquidation, the aggregate amount of Unsecured Claims
will no doubt increase significantly as a result of rejection and/or repudiation of most, if not
all, of the Debtors executory contracts and unexpired leases. Also, as already discussed, Chapter
7 liquidation would give rise to additional costs, expenses, and Administrative Claims. For
example, employees will file Claims for wages and other benefits, many of which may be entitled to
priority. Landlords, aircraft lessors and mortgage holders will no doubt file large Claims for
both Unsecured Claims and Administrative Claims. The resulting increase in both Unsecured and
Administrative Claims will no doubt decrease the percentage recoveries to unsecured Creditors. All
of these factors lead to the conclusion that recoveries under the Plan would be significantly
greater than the recoveries available in Chapter 7 liquidation.
D. Financial Feasibility
Section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the Bankruptcy Court find, as a
condition to Confirmation, that Confirmation is not likely to be followed by the liquidation of the
Debtors or the need for further financial reorganization, unless such liquidation is contemplated
by the Plan. For purposes of demonstrating that the Plan meets this feasibility standard, the
Debtors, together with
170
Rothschild and Huron, have analyzed the ability of the Reorganized Debtors to meet their
obligations under the Plan and to retain sufficient liquidity and capital resources to conduct
their businesses, taking into account the Debtors Projections (as defined below) included as
Appendix D hereto and in the Plan Supplement as Exhibit 28. Included therein is a Projected Income
Statement, Projected Balance Sheet, and a Projected Cash Flow Statement, each of which include the
following: (a) the Debtors consolidated financial statement information for the period December
2002 through December 2004; (b) six months of actual results (January through June) and six months
of projected results (July through December) for 2005; and (c) consolidated projected operating and
financial results (the Projections) for the Reorganized Debtors five year post-Effective Date
period from 2006 through 2010 (the Projection Period).23 Also included therein is a
Projected Fresh Start Balance Sheet reflecting, in accordance with fresh start reporting, the
assumed effect of Confirmation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan on
the Effective Date.24 As discussed in the Notes to Financial Projections in Appendix D
hereto and in Exhibit 28 to the Plan Supplement, the Projections incorporate fresh start reporting
and therefore the Projections of the Reorganized Debtors are not comparable to the historical
financial statements of the Debtors.
The Projections have been prepared on the assumption that the Effective Date is February 1,
2006, and are based on, and assume the successful implementation of the Reorganized Debtors
business plan. Although the Debtors presently intend to seek to cause the Effective Date to occur
as soon as practical following confirmation of the Plan, there can be no assurance as to when the
Effective Date will actually occur.
In general, the Debtors believe that with a significantly deleveraged capital structure, the
Debtors business will return to viability. The decrease in the amount of debt on the Debtors
balance sheet will substantially reduce their interest expenses and improve cash flow. The
Projections cover fiscal years 2006 through 2010. Based on the terms of the Plan, at emergence the
Debtors will have $18.0 billion of debt and other liabilities in contrast to more than $26.1
billion prior to the restructuring. Thereafter, based on the Projections, the Debtors should have
sufficient cash flow to pay and service their debt obligations, including the New Credit Facility,
and to fund operations. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies the feasibility
requirement of Section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Moreover, in the event the Bankruptcy Court does not approve substantive consolidation of the
Debtors estates, the Plan still satisfies the feasibility test. To the extent that any of the
Debtors may not generate their own income or may not be profitable on their own as going-concerns,
they will be funded post-Confirmation by the Reorganized United and/or UAL. Thus, even without
substantive consolidation, Confirmation is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need
for further financial reorganization of any of the Debtors that may not be profitable stand-alone
enterprises.
THE PROJECTIONS HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY THE DEBTORS MANAGEMENT WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THEIR
ADVISORS, ROTHSCHILD AND HURON. SUCH
|
|
|
23 |
|
Because the Projections assume an Effective Date of
February 1, 2006, the Projections for 2006 include one month of projected
results for the Debtors (January) and 11 months of projected results for the
Reorganized Debtors (February through December). |
|
24 |
|
The balance sheet adjustments set forth in the
Projected Fresh Start Balance Sheet in the columns captioned Release of
Escrowed Funds, Debt Discharge & Reinstatements,
New Credit Facility Financing Transactions, and Fresh
Start Adjustments reflect the assumed effect of Confirmation of the Plan
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, including
the settlement of various liabilities and securities issuances, incurrence of
new indebtedness, and cash payments as more thoroughly described in Article III
of the Plan. |

UNANTICIPATED EVENTS. THE PROJECTIONS THEREFORE, MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON AS A GUARANTY OR OTHER
ASSURANCE OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS THAT WILL OCCUR.
172
IN DECIDING WHETHER TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN, HOLDERS OF CLAIMS OR INTERESTS MUST
MAKE THEIR OWN DETERMINATIONS AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF SUCH ASSUMPTIONS AND THE RELIABILITY OF
THE PROJECTIONS. (SEE, ARTICLE VI OF THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, CERTAIN FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED
PRIOR TO VOTING.)
The Projections should be read in conjunction with the assumptions, qualifications, and
explanations set forth in this Disclosure Statement, the Plan, and the Plan Supplement in their
entirety, and the historical consolidated financial statements (including the notes and schedules
thereto) and other financial information set forth in UAL Corporations Form 10-K for the years
ending December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the full texts of which are incorporated herein by
reference and are accessible on the Debtors private website: http://www.pd-ual.com.
E. Acceptance By Impaired Classes
The Bankruptcy Code also requires, as a condition to confirmation, that each class of claims
or equity interests that is impaired under the plan accept the plan, with the exception described
in the following section. A class that is not impaired under a plan of reorganization is deemed
to have accepted the plan and, therefore, solicitation of acceptances with respect to such class is
not required. A class is impaired unless the plan (a) leaves unaltered the legal, equitable and
contractual rights to which the claim or equity interest entitles the holder of such claim or
equity interest, or (b) cures any default and reinstates the original terms of the obligation.
Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by a class of impaired
claims as acceptance by holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in
number of claims in that class, but for that purpose counts only those who actually vote to accept
or to reject the plan. Thus, a class of claims will have voted to accept the plan only if
two-thirds in amount and a majority in number actually voting cast their ballots in favor of
acceptance. Under Section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of interests has accepted the
plan if holders of such interests holding at least two-thirds in amount actually voting have voted
to accept the plan. Holders of claims or interests who fail to vote are not counted as either
accepting or rejecting a plan.
F. Confirmation Without Acceptance By All Impaired Classes
Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code allows a bankruptcy court to confirm a plan, even if
such plan has not been accepted by all impaired classes entitled to vote on such plan;
provided, however, that such plan has been accepted by at least one impaired class.
Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code states that notwithstanding the failure of an impaired
class to accept a plan of reorganization, the plan shall be confirmed, on request of the proponent
of the plan, in a procedure commonly known as cram-down, so long as the plan does not
discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to each class of claims or equity
interests that is impaired under, and has not accepted, the plan.
In general, a plan does not discriminate unfairly if it provides a treatment to the class that
is substantially equivalent to the treatment that is provided to other classes that have equal
rank. In determining whether a plan discriminates unfairly, courts will take into account a number
of factors, including the effect of applicable subordination agreements between parties.
Accordingly, two classes of unsecured Creditors could be treated differently without unfairly
discriminating against either class.
173
The condition that a plan be fair and equitable with respect to a non-accepting class of
secured claims includes the requirements that: (i) the holders of such secured claims retain the
Liens securing such claims to the extent of the allowed amount of the secured claims, whether the
property subject to the Liens is retained by debtor or transferred to another entity under the
plan; and (ii) each holder of a secured claim in the class receives deferred cash payments totaling
at least the allowed amount of such claim with a present value, as of the Effective Date, at least
equivalent to the value of the secured claimants interest in the debtors property subject to the
liens.
The condition that a plan be fair and equitable with respect to a non-accepting class of
unsecured claims includes the requirement that either: (i) the plan provides that each holder of a
claim of such class receive or retain on account of such claim property of a value, as of the
Effective Date, equal to the allowed amount of such claim; or (ii) the holder of any claim or
interest that is junior to the claims of such class will not receive or retain any property under
the plan on account of such junior claim or interest.
The condition that a plan be fair and equitable with respect to a non-accepting class of
equity interests includes the requirements that either: (i) the plan provide that each holder of an
equity interest in such class receive or retain under the plan, on account of such equity interest,
property of a value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the greater of (a) the allowed amount of
any fixed liquidation preference to which such holder is entitled, (b) any fixed redemption price
to which such holder is entitled, or (c) the value of such interest; or (ii) if the class does not
receive such an amount as required under (i), no class of equity interests junior to the
non-accepting class may receive a distribution under the plan.
The Debtors shall seek Confirmation of the Plan pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code with respect to any Impaired Class, as applicable, presumed to reject the Plan, and reserve
the right to do so with respect to any other rejecting Class of Claims or Interests, as applicable,
and/or to modify the Plan. Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be satisfied for
purposes of Confirmation by acceptance of the Plan by at least one Class that is Impaired under the
Plan.
ARTICLE VI.
CERTAIN FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED PRIOR TO VOTING
HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS SHOULD READ AND CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE FACTORS SET FORTH
BELOW, AS WELL AS THE OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS
DELIVERED TOGETHER HEREWITH, REFERRED TO OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN, PRIOR TO VOTING TO
ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN. THESE FACTORS SHOULD NOT, HOWEVER, BE REGARDED AS CONSTITUTING THE ONLY
RISKS INVOLVED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLAN AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION.
A. Certain Bankruptcy Considerations
1. Undue Delay in Confirmation May Significantly Disrupt Operations of the Debtors
The impact that a continued prolonging of the Chapter 11 Cases may have on operations of the
Debtors cannot be accurately predicted or quantified. Since the announcement of the filing of the
Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have suffered certain disruptions in operations.
The continuation of the Chapter 11 Cases, particularly if the Plan is not approved or
confirmed in the time frame currently contemplated, could further adversely affect operations and
relationships with the Debtors customers, vendors, employees, regulators, and program and alliance
partners. If
174
Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan do not occur expeditiously, the Chapter 11 Cases
could result in, among other things, increased costs for Professional fees and similar expenses.
In addition, prolonged Chapter 11 Cases may make it more difficult to retain and attract management
and other key personnel and would require senior management to spend a significant amount of time
and effort dealing with the Debtors financial reorganization instead of focusing on the operation
of the Debtors businesses.
2. The Debtors May Not Be Able to Obtain Confirmation of the Plan.
The Debtors cannot ensure that they will receive the requisite acceptances to confirm the
Plan. Even if the Debtors receive the requisite acceptances, the Debtors cannot ensure that the
Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan. A non-accepting Creditor or Equity Holder might challenge
the adequacy of this Disclosure Statement or the balloting procedures and results as not being in
compliance with the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. Even if the Bankruptcy Court determined
that the Disclosure Statement and the balloting procedures and results were appropriate, the
Bankruptcy Court could still decline to confirm the Plan if it found that any of the statutory
requirements for Confirmation had not been met, including that the terms of the Plan are fair and
equitable to non-accepting Classes. Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code sets forth the
requirements for confirmation and requires, among other things: (i) a finding by the Bankruptcy
Court that the Plan does not unfairly discriminate and is fair and equitable with respect to
any non-accepting Classes; (ii) Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by a
liquidation or a need for further financial reorganization; and (iii) the value of distributions to
non-accepting Holders of Claims and Interests within a particular Class under the Plan will not be
less than the value of distributions such Holders would receive if the debtors were liquidated
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. While there can be no assurance that these requirements
will be met, the Debtors believe that the Plan will not be followed by a need for further financial
reorganization and that non-accepting Holders within each Class under the Plan will receive
distributions at least as great as would be received following a liquidation under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code when taking into consideration all Administrative Claims and costs associated with
any such Chapter 7 case. The Debtors believe that Holders of Interests in UAL would receive no
distribution either under liquidation pursuant to Chapter 7 or under Chapter 11.
The Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan are also subject to certain conditions described
in ARTICLE IV above. If the Plan is not confirmed, it is unclear whether a restructuring of the
Debtors could be implemented and what distributions Holders of Claims or Interests ultimately would
receive with respect to their Claims or Interests. If an alternative reorganization could not be
agreed to, it is possible that the Debtors would have to liquidate their assets, in which case it
is likely that Holders of Claims and Interests would receive substantially less favorable treatment
than they would receive under the Plan.
Subject to the Debtors seeking substantive consolidation pursuant to Article VI.F of the Plan,
the Confirmation requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code must be satisfied separately
with respect to each Subplan. The Debtors reserve the right to (a) request that the Subplans be
confirmed, or (b) withdraw some or all Subplans. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Debtors
inability to confirm any Subplan or the Debtors election to withdraw any Subplan(s) shall not
impair the Confirmation of any other Subplan or Subplans, or the consummation of any such Subplan.
3. The Bankruptcy Court Might Not Order Substantive Consolidation
The Plan contemplates substantive consolidation of all Debtors other than UAL into United.
The Debtors can provide no assurance, however, a Holder will not object to substantive
consolidation of one or more of the United Debtors into United or that the Bankruptcy Court will
determine that substantive consolidation is appropriate. Failure to substantively consolidate one,
more, or all of the United Debtors
175
into United will not affect the distribution of property currently provided in the Plan. The
Debtors reserve the right to request Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan, even if the Court
rejects substantive consolidation of the United Debtors, or approves substantive consolidation of
less than all of the United Debtors. In the event that some or all of the United Debtors do not
consolidate into one entity, such failure will not affect the validity of the vote taken by
Impaired Classes to accept or reject the Plan or require any sort of re-vote or re-solicitation of
the Impaired Classes.
4. Parties in Interest May Object to the Debtors Classification of Claims
Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan of reorganization may place a class
or an interest in a particular class only if such claim or interest is substantially similar to the
other claims or interests in such class. The Debtors believe that the classification of Claims and
Interests under the Plan complies with the requirements set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. In
particular, the Debtors believe that the separate treatment of Classes of Claims that are subject
to settlement agreements, including the Unsecured Chicago Municipal Bond Claims, the Unsecured PBGC
claim, and the Unsecured Public Debt Aircraft Claims are properly separated from each other and
from Other Unsecured Claims against the Debtors. The Debtors also believe that it is appropriate
to separately classify Claims where there is a good business justification for doing so.
Specifically, the Debtors believe that including parties with which they intend to continue doing
business, like the Unsecured Retained Aircraft Claims, in one Class, and those that they do not,
like the Unsecured Rejected Aircraft Claims, in another Class is appropriate. Moreover, they
believe that aircraft Creditors have different interests and relationships generally from the
Holders of Other Unsecured Claims. With respect to the different classification of Unsecured
Convenience Class Claims and Unsecured Retiree Convenience Claims, the Debtors believe that
retirees have a different relationship to the Debtors than do those in the Unsecured Convenience
Class, typically trade creditors, and believe that it is appropriate to classify them apart.
5. The Debtors May Object to the Amount or Secured or Priority Status of a Claim and
Procedures for Contingent and Unliquidated Claims
The Debtors reserve the right to object to the amount or the secured or priority status of any
Claim or Interest. The estimates set forth in this Disclosure Statement cannot be relied on by any
Creditor or Equity Holder whose Claim or Interest is subject to an objection. Any such Holder of a
Claim or Interest may not receive its specified share of the estimated distributions described in
this Disclosure Statement.
Moreover, notwithstanding any language in any Holders Proof of Claim or otherwise, the Holder
of a contingent or unliquidated Claim shall not be entitled to receive or recover any amount in
excess of the amount: (a) stated in the Holders Proof of Claim, if any, as of the Distribution
Record Date; (b) if the Proof of Claim provides no monetary value of such Holders Claim on the
Distribution Record Date, the amount the Debtors elect to withhold on account of such Claim in the
New UAL Stock Reserve.
B. Factors Affecting the Value of the Securities to be Issued Under the Plan
1. The Reorganized Debtors May Not be Able to Achieve their Projected Financial Results
The Debtors may not be able to meet their projected financial results or achieve the revenue
or cash flow that the Reorganized Debtors have assumed in projecting their future business
prospects. If the Reorganized Debtors do not achieve these projected revenue or cash flow levels,
the Reorganized Debtors may lack sufficient liquidity to continue operating as planned after the
Effective Date. Their financial projections represent managements view based on currently known
facts and hypothetical assumptions
176
about their future operations. However, the Projections set forth as Appendix D hereto and in
the Plan Supplement as Exhibit 28 do not guarantee the Reorganized Debtors future financial
performance.
2. The Plan Exchanges Senior Securities for Junior Securities.
If the Plan is confirmed and consummated, Holders of the Unsecured Debentures, Municipal
Bonds, and certain Holders of PTCs, ETCs, EETCs, and Aircraft Mortgage Notes will receive shares of
New UAL Common Stock, among other securities. Thus, in agreeing to the Plan, such Holders will be
consenting to the exchange of their interests in senior debt, which has, among other things, a
stated interest rate, a maturity date, and a liquidation preference over equity securities, for
shares of New UAL Common Stock, which will be subordinate to all Creditor claims.
3. A Liquid Trading Market for the New UAL Common Stock May Not Develop
Although UAL intends to apply to list the New UAL Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
and/or another national exchange, the Debtors make no assurance that they will be able to obtain
this listing or, even if the Debtors do, that liquid trading markets for the New UAL Common Stock
will develop. The liquidity of any market for the New UAL Common Stock will depend, among other
things, upon the number of Holders of New UAL Common Stock, the Reorganized Debtors financial
performance, and the market for similar securities, none of which can be determined or predicted.
Therefore, the Debtors cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop or, if a market
develops, what the liquidity or pricing characteristics of that market will be.
4. The Trading Price for the New UAL Common Stock May be Depressed Following the Effective
Date
Assuming Consummation of the Plan, the New UAL Common Stock will be issued substantially
simultaneously to Holders of Allowed Claims, with a reserve for Disputed Claims, to be distributed
periodically as such Disputed Claims become Allowed Claims. Following the Effective Date, such
Holders may seek to dispose of the New UAL Common Stock in an effort to obtain liquidity, which
could cause the initial trading prices for these securities to be depressed, particularly in light
of the lack of established trading markets for these securities.
5. The Debtors Financial Projections are Subject to Inherent Uncertainty Due to the Numerous
Assumptions Upon Which they are Based
The Projections included as Appendix D hereto and in the Plan Supplement as Exhibit 28 are
based on numerous assumptions including, without limitation: the timing, Confirmation, and
Consummation of the Plan in accordance with its terms; the anticipated future performance of the
Reorganized Debtors; airline industry performance; general business and economic conditions; and
other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Reorganized Debtors and some or all of
which may not materialize. In addition, unanticipated events and circumstances occurring
subsequent to the date that this Disclosure Statement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court may
affect the actual financial results of the Reorganized Debtors operations. These variations may
be material and may adversely affect the ability of the Reorganized Debtors to make payments with
respect to indebtedness following the Consummation of the Plan. Because the actual results
achieved throughout the periods covered by the Projections may vary from the projected results, the
Projections should not be relied upon as an assurance of the actual results that will occur.
Except with respect to the Projections and except as otherwise specifically and expressly
stated herein, this Disclosure Statement does not reflect any events that may occur subsequent to
the date hereof.
177
Such events may have a material impact on the information contained in this Disclosure
Statement. Neither the Debtors nor the Reorganized Debtors intend to update the Projections. The
Projections, therefore, will not reflect the impact of any subsequent events not already accounted
for in the assumptions underlying the Projections.
6. The Actual Allowed Amounts of Claims May Differ from the Estimated Claims and Adversely
Affect the Percentage Recovery on Unsecured Claims
The estimated Claims set forth in this Disclosure Statement are based on various assumptions
and the actual Allowed amounts of Claims may significantly differ from the estimates. Should one
or more of the underlying assumptions ultimately prove to be incorrect, the actual Allowed amounts
of Claims may vary from the estimated Claims contained herein. As a result, such differences may
materially and adversely affect the percentage recovery on Unsecured Claims under the Plan.
7. The Exercise or Conversion of Equity Interests Will Cause Dilution to the Ownership
Percentage of the New UAL Common Stock
If the terms of either the New UAL Convertible Preferred Stock or the New UAL Convertible
Employee Notes should allow for the Holders to exercise the right to convert the securities into
common stock, such conversions would dilute the ownership percentage represented by the New UAL
Common Stock distributed under the Plan. In addition, if other equity interests are distributed to
management or employees as discussed elsewhere in this Disclosure Statement, such distributions
also will dilute the ownership percentage represented by the New UAL Common Stock distributed under
the Plan.
8. The Valuation Analysis of New UAL Common Stock, and the Estimated Recoveries to Holders of
Claims and Interests, Is Not Intended to Represent the Trading Values of the New UAL Common Stock
The Valuation Analysis of the Debtors included in Appendix C hereto and in the Plan Supplement
as Exhibit 29 is based on the Projections developed by the Debtors management and on certain
generally accepted valuation analyses and is not intended to represent the trading values of
Reorganized UALs securities in public or private markets. This Valuation Analysis is based on
numerous assumptions (the realization of many of which is beyond the Debtors control), including,
without limitation, the Debtors successful reorganization, an assumed Effective Date of February
1, 2006, the Debtors ability to achieve the operating and financial results included in the
Projections, the Debtors ability to maintain adequate liquidity to fund operations and the
assumption that capital and equity markets remain consistent with current conditions. Even if the
Debtors achieve the Projections, the trading market values for the New UAL Common Stock could be
adversely impacted by the lack of trading liquidity for these securities, lack of institutional
research coverage and concentrated selling by recipients of these securities.
9. The New UAL Common Stock May be Issued in Odd Lots
Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests may receive odd lot distributions (less
than 100 shares) of New UAL Common Stock. Holders may find it more difficult to dispose of odd
lots in the marketplace and may face increased brokerage charges in connection with any such
disposition.
178
10. New UAL Does Not Expect to Pay Cash Dividends on the New UAL Common Stock for the
Foreseeable Future
The terms of the New Credit Facility may limit, among other things, New UALs ability to pay
dividends, and it is not anticipated that any cash dividends will be paid on the New UAL Common
Stock in the near future.
11. The Transfer Restrictions on the New UAL Common Stock Contained in the Certificate of
Incorporation for New UAL May Limit the Liquidity of the New UAL Common Stock; Any Prohibited
Ownership Change Could Limit the Availability of the Debtors NOL
To avoid a potential adverse effect on the Debtors ability to utilize their net operating
loss for federal income tax purposes after the Effective Date, the Certificate of Incorporation for
New UAL will contain a 5% Ownership Limitation, which will be effective until after the fifth
(5th) anniversary of the Effective Date. These transfer restrictions may adversely
affect the ability of certain Holders of New UAL Common Stock to dispose of or acquire shares of
New UAL Common Stock during the period the restrictions are in place. Furthermore, while the
purpose of these transfer restrictions is to prevent an ownership change from occurring within
the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (which ownership change would adversely
affect the Reorganized Debtors ability to utilize their NOLs or other tax attributes), no
assurance can be given that such an ownership change will not occur, in which case the availability
of the Reorganized Debtors substantial NOLs and other federal income tax attributes would be
significantly limited or possibly eliminated.
12. Certain Tax Consequences of the Plan Raise Unsettled and Complex Legal Issues and Involve
Various Factual Determinations
Some of the material consequences of the Plan regarding U.S. federal income taxes are
summarized in ARTICLE VII hereof. Many of these tax issues raise unsettled and complex legal
issues, and also involve various factual determinations, such as valuations, that raise additional
uncertainties. The Debtors cannot ensure that the IRS will not take a contrary view, and no ruling
from the IRS has been or will be sought regarding the tax consequences described herein. In
addition, the Debtors cannot ensure that the IRS will not challenge the various positions the
Debtors have taken, or intend to take, with respect to the Debtors tax treatment, or that a court
would not sustain such a challenge. FOR A MORE DETAILED DISCUSSION OF RISKS RELATING TO THE
SPECIFIC POSITIONS THE DEBTORS INTEND TO TAKE WITH RESPECT TO VARIOUS TAX ISSUES, PLEASE REVIEW
ARTICLE VII.
C. Risks Related to the Debtors Business and Financial Condition
1. The Debtors Degree of Leverage May Limit Their Financial and Operating Activities
The Debtors will have significant indebtedness even after the Plan is consummated. Further,
their historical capital requirements have been significant and their future capital requirements
could vary significantly and may be affected by general economic conditions, industry trends,
performance, and many other factors that are not within their control. The Debtors cannot ensure
that they will be able to obtain financing in the future. Even if the Plan is approved and
consummated, the Debtors cannot ensure that they will not experience losses in the future. Their
profitability and ability to generate cash flow will likely depend upon their ability to
successfully implement their business strategy and meet or exceed the results forecasted in the
Projections. However, the Debtors cannot ensure that they will be able to accomplish these
results.
179
2. The Covenants in the New Credit Facility Will Restrict the Reorganized Debtors Activities
and Require Them to Meet or Maintain Various Financial Ratios
The New Credit Facility will contain a number of covenants and other provisions that will
restrict the Reorganized Debtors ability to engage in various financing transactions and operating
activities without the prior consent of the lenders under the New Credit Facility. The New Credit
Facility also will require the Reorganized Debtors to maintain various financial ratios. The
ability of the Reorganized Debtors to meet these financial covenants may be affected by events
beyond their control. If the Reorganized Debtors default under any of these requirements, the
lenders could declare all outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and fees to be due and payable.
If that were to occur, there can be no assurance that the Reorganized Debtors would have sufficient
liquidity to repay or refinance this indebtedness or any of their other debt.
3. Fluctuations in Fuel Prices Could Negatively Impact the Debtors Financial Results
Aviation fuel is one of the most significant expenses for an airline, representing
approximately 22% of the Debtors projected operating expenses for 2005. If a future fuel supply
shortage were to arise from OPEC production curtailments, a disruption of oil imports, post-war
unrest in Iraq, other conflicts in the Middle East, or otherwise, higher fuel prices or further
reduction of scheduled airline service could result. To the extent that the price of fuel is
greater than that assumed in the Debtors Projections, the financial performance of the Debtors
could be materially impacted.
This is particularly important in light of the recent increases in oil prices. As of the date
hereof, oil prices remain volatile.
4. The Airline Industry is Highly Regulated and the Imposition of New or Modified Regulations
Can Materially Impact the Debtors Operations and Financial Results
The Debtors business is highly regulated, and the imposition of new or modified regulations
can have a significant impact on the Debtors. The FAA from time to time issues directives and
other regulations relating to the maintenance and operation of aircraft that require significant
expenditures. Some FAA requirements cover, among other things, retirement of older aircraft,
security measures, collision avoidance systems, airborne windshear avoidance systems, noise
abatement and other environmental concerns, commuter aircraft safety and increased inspections and
maintenance procedures to be conducted on older aircraft. The Reorganized Debtors expect to
continue incurring expenses to comply with the FAAs regulations.
New regulations relating to environmental, safety, security, and scheduling matters may be
considered by various governmental agencies. The adoption of such regulations could cause
increased operating expenses and, in some cases, restrictions on the operations of airlines,
including the Debtors, which could have a material adverse effect on the Debtors financial
condition, cash flow, and results of operations.
In addition, because of the significantly higher security and other costs incurred by airports
since September 11, 2001, and because reduced landing weights since September 11, 2001, have
reduced the fees airlines pay to airports, many airports are significantly increasing their rates
and charges to air carriers, including United. Restrictions on the ownership and transfer of
airline routes and takeoff and landing slots have also been proposed. The ability of U.S. carriers
to operate international routes is subject to change because the applicable arrangements between
the United States and foreign governments may be amended from time to time, or because appropriate
slots or facilities are not made
180
available. The Reorganized Debtors cannot provide assurance that current laws and
regulations, or laws or regulations enacted in the future, will not adversely affect them.
5. The Debtors Operations are Affected by the Seasonality Associated with the Airline
Industry
Due to greater demand for air travel during the spring and summer months, revenue in the
airline industry in the second and third quarters of the year is generally stronger than revenue in
the first and fourth quarters of the year for most U.S. air carriers. The Debtors results of
operation generally reflect this seasonality, but have also been impacted by numerous other factors
that are not necessarily seasonal, including the extent and nature of competition from other
airlines, fare reductions, excise and similar taxes, security fees, changing levels of operations,
fuel prices, weather, air traffic control delays, foreign currency exchange rates, and general
economic conditions.
6. The Airline Industry is Highly Competitive and the Restructuring Efforts of the Debtors
Competitors or the Prolonged Use of Price Discounting Could Negatively Impact the Debtors
Competitive Cost Position
Historically, the Debtors have had among the highest operating costs of all the domestic major
airlines. The Debtors business plan includes steps to address this competitive disadvantage,
including labor cost reductions, fleet rationalization, and network redesign. However, the
Debtors major competitors are also attempting to implement their own restructuring initiatives
both in and outside Chapter 11. Such restructuring initiatives of the Debtors competitors, if
successful, could negatively impact on the Debtors competitive cost position.
The airline industry is highly competitive and susceptible to price discounting. Price
competition comes primarily from offering discount or promotional fares. Under domestic law,
carriers are not restricted in setting domestic fares and fares offered by one airline are
typically matched by competing airlines. In addition, in the domestic market, competition has been
enhanced by deregulation of the airline industry, which has facilitated expansion of established
carriers into new markets as well as new entrants. Despite the improved financial condition of the
Debtors as a result of the reorganization, the Reorganized Debtors may have less financial
resources than many of their competitors. Accordingly, the Debtors may be less able to withstand a
prolonged industry recession, fare war, or other unforeseen circumstance or crisis.
181
7. The Impact of Terrorist Attacks and Possible Military and Other Actions May Adversely
Affect the Airline Industry and Financial Markets
Terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, adversely
affected commerce throughout the United States and resulted in significant disruption to the
airline industry and significant declines and volatility in financial markets. Further terrorist
attacks against commercial aircraft could result in grounding of Uniteds fleet, and would likely
result in significant reductions in load factors and yields, together with increased ticket refunds
and security, insurance, and other costs. In addition, terrorist attacks not involving commercial
aircraft, the war in Iraq, or other world events could result in decreased load factors and yields
and could also result in increased costs for the Reorganized Debtors and the airline industry.
Premiums for aviation insurance have also increased substantially, and could escalate further, or
certain aviation insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of
coverage that are insufficient to comply with the levels of insurance coverage required by aircraft
lenders and lessors or required by applicable government regulations. Additionally, war-risk
coverage or other insurance might cease to be available to the Reorganized Debtors vendors, or
might be available only at significantly increased premiums or for reduced amounts of coverage,
which could adversely impact the Reorganized Debtors operations or costs.
8. Much of the Indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtors Upon Emergence From the Chapter 11
Cases Will Bear Interest at Variable Rates, Which May Lead to Increased Debt Service Obligations
Much of the indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtors upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases
will bear interest at variable rates. An increase in the interest rates on such debt will reduce
the funds available to repay the indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtors and to finance their
operations and future business opportunities and, as a result, will intensify the consequences of
their leveraged capital structure. For example, assuming that the Debtors obtain $2.5 billion in
debt financing, a 100 basis point increase would result in an additional $25 million debt service
obligations per year.
THESE CONSIDERATIONS CONTAIN CERTAIN STATEMENTS THAT ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE
MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995. THESE STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO A
NUMBER OF ASSUMPTIONS, RISKS, AND UNCERTAINTIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE
DEBTORS, INCLUDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN, THE CONTINUING AVAILABILITY OF SUFFICIENT
BORROWING CAPACITY OR OTHER FINANCING TO FUND OPERATIONS, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DEBTORS
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS, ACHIEVING OPERATING EFFICIENCIES, MAINTAINING GOOD EMPLOYEE RELATIONS,
EXISTING AND FUTURE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AND ACTIONS OF GOVERNMENTAL BODIES, NATURAL DISASTERS,
ACTS OF TERRORISM OR WAR, AND OTHER MARKET AND COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS. HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND
INTERESTS ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS SPEAK AS OF THE DATE MADE AND ARE NOT
GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. ACTUAL RESULTS OR DEVELOPMENTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE
EXPECTATIONS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, AND THE DEBTORS UNDERTAKE NO
OBLIGATION TO UPDATE ANY SUCH STATEMENTS.
ARTICLE VII.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan to the
Debtors and certain Creditors, including without limitation Holders of Unsecured Claims, Unsecured
182
Debentures, Securities Claims, Chicago Municipal Bond Claims, TOPrS Preferred Securities, Old
Preferred Stock, and Old UAL Common Stock Interests. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the Internal Revenue Code), Treasury Regulations thereunder, and
administrative and judicial interpretations and practice, all as in effect on the date hereof and
all of which are subject to change, with possible retroactive effect. Due to the lack of
definitive judicial and administrative authority in a number of areas, substantial uncertainty may
exist with respect to some of the tax consequences described below. No opinion of counsel has been
obtained, and the Debtors do not intend to seek a ruling from the IRS as to any of such tax
consequences, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge one or more of the tax
consequences of the Plan described below.
This summary does not apply to Holders of Claims that are not United States persons (as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code) or that are otherwise subject to special treatment under U.S.
federal income tax law (including, for example, banks, governmental authorities or agencies,
financial institutions, insurance companies, pass-through entities, tax-exempt organizations,
brokers and dealers in securities, mutual funds, small business investment companies, and regulated
investment companies). The following discussion assumes that Holders of Unsecured Claims,
Unsecured Debentures, Securities Claims, Chicago Municipal Bond Claims, TOPrS Preferred Securities,
Old Preferred Stock, and Old UAL Common Stock Interests hold such interests as capital assets
within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code § 1221. Moreover, this summary does not purport to
cover all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may apply to the Debtors and Holders of
Unsecured Claims, Unsecured Debentures, Securities Claims, Chicago Municipal Bond Claims, TOPrS
Preferred Securities, Old Preferred Stock, and Old UAL Common Stock Interests based upon their
particular circumstances. Additionally, this summary does not discuss any tax consequences that
may arise under state, local, or foreign tax law.
The Debtors continue to explore various possible alternative structures to maximize the going
concern value of the Reorganized Debtors Estates. In this regard, if the Debtors determine that
an alternative structure should be implemented, the Plan may be modified to effectuate such
alternate structure, provided that such modifications shall not adversely affect the treatment and
recoveries of Holders of Claims and Interests set forth herein.
The following summary is not a substitute for careful tax planning and advice based on the
particular circumstances of each Creditor, including without limitation, Holders of Unsecured
Claims, Unsecured Debentures, Securities Claims, Chicago Municipal Bond Claims, TOPrS Preferred
Securities, Old Preferred Stock, and Old UAL Common Stock Interests. All Creditors are urged to
consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences, as well as any
applicable state, local, and foreign consequences, of the restructuring.
To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, any tax advice contained in this
Disclosure Statement is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by any taxpayer for
the purpose of avoiding tax-related penalties under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The tax advice
contained in this Disclosure Statement was written to support the promotion or marketing of the
transactions described in this Disclosure Statement. Each taxpayer should seek advice based on the
taxpayers particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
A. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Holders of Claims and Interests
1. Consequences to Holders of Unsecured Claims
a. Exchange of Unsecured Claims for New UAL Common Stock
Pursuant to the Plan, the Unsecured Claims will be exchanged for New UAL Common Stock. The
U.S. federal income tax consequences to Holders of the Unsecured Convenience Class Claims,
183
Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims and Other Unsecured Claims depend on whether: (i)
the Unsecured Convenience Class Claims and Other Unsecured Claims are treated as securities of
UAL (as opposed to United) for purposes of the reorganization provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code; and (ii) the Debtors restructuring qualifies as a tax-free reorganization. No exchange of a
claim against United (as opposed to UAL) for New UAL Common Stock will qualify as a tax-free
reorganization.
Whether an instrument constitutes a security is determined based on all the facts and
circumstances, but most authorities have held that term-length of a debt instrument is an important
factor in determining whether such an instrument is a security for federal income tax purposes.
These authorities have indicated that a term of less than five years is evidence that the
instrument is not a security, whereas a term of ten years or more is evidence that it is a
security. There are numerous other factors that could be taken into account in determining whether
a debt instrument is a security, including, among others: the security for payment; the
creditworthiness of the obligor; the subordination or lack thereof to other creditors; the right to
vote or otherwise participate in the management of the obligor; convertibility of the instrument
into an equity interest of the obligor; whether payments of interest are fixed, variable, or
contingent; and whether such payments are made on a current basis, or accrued.
To the extent that all or some of the Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree
Convenience Class Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims are treated as securities of UAL, then the
Plan pursuant to which the Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class
Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims are exchanged for New UAL Common Stock should be treated as a
tax-free reorganization. In such a case, Holders of such Unsecured Convenience Class Claims,
Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims that are treated as
securities of UAL should not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange, except that a Holder may
recognize ordinary income to the extent that New UAL Common Stock is treated as received in
satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest on such Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured
Retiree Convenience Class Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims. See ARTICLE VII.A.1.d
herein. Such Holder should obtain a tax basis in the New UAL Common Stock equal to the tax basis
of the Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims, and Other
Unsecured Claims surrendered therefor and should have a holding period for the New UAL Common Stock
that includes the holding period for the Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree
Convenience Class Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims exchanged therefor; provided,
however, that the tax basis of any share of New UAL Common Stock treated as received in
satisfaction of accrued interest should equal the amount of such accrued interest, and the holding
period for such New UAL Common Stock should not include the holding period of the Unsecured
Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims.
To the extent that Unsecured Claims are not treated as securities of UAL, Holders of such
Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured
Deficiency Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims will be treated as exchanging their Unsecured
Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Deficiency Claims,
and Other Unsecured Claims for New UAL Common Stock in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the
Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, Holders of the Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured
Retiree Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Deficiency Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims should
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between: (i) the fair market value of New UAL
Common Stock (as of the date the stock is distributed to the Holder) received in exchange for the
Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured
Deficiency Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims; and (ii) the Holders adjusted basis, if any, in the
Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured
Deficiency Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims. Such gain or loss should be capital in nature so
long as the Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims,
Unsecured
184
Deficiency Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims are held as capital assets (subject to the
market discount rules described below) and should be long-term capital gain or loss if the
Unsecured Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured
Deficiency Claims, and Other Unsecured Claims were held for more than one year. To the extent that
a portion of the New UAL Common Stock received in exchange for the Unsecured Convenience Class
Claims, Unsecured Retiree Convenience Class Claims, Unsecured Deficiency Claims, and Other
Unsecured Claims is allocable to accrued but untaxed interest, the Holder may recognize ordinary
income. See Accrued But Untaxed Interest below. A Holders tax basis in New UAL Common
Stock received should equal the fair market value of the New UAL Common Stock as of the date the
stock is distributed to the Holder. A Holders holding period for New UAL Common Stock should
begin on the day following the Effective Date.
b. Exchange of Unsecured Employee Distributions for New UAL Common Stock and New UAL
Convertible Employee Notes
Holders of Unsecured Employee Distributions should recognize taxable income on the receipt of
New UAL Common Stock and New UAL Convertible Employee Notes in exchange for their distribution
rights under the relevant CBA in an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock and the
issue price of the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes received. Because such stock or convertible
notes may be received, at least in part, in connection with the performance of services, the income
recognized could be taxed as ordinary income for both federal and state income tax purposes, and
could also be treated as wages for employment tax purposes. Ordinary income received by an
individual is currently subject to tax for federal purposes at rates as high as 35%.
(i) Tax Consequences of Holding and Disposing of New UAL Common Stock
A Holders tax basis in New UAL Common Stock received should equal the fair market value of
such stock as of the date the stock is distributed to the Holder. A Holders holding period for
the New UAL Common Stock should begin on the day following the stocks distribution date. So long
as the Holder holds such stock for more than one year following the date of distribution, any gain
recognized by the Holder upon the ultimate sale of such stock should qualify as a long-term capital
gain (assuming such Holder held the stock as a capital asset ).
(ii) Tax Consequences of Holding and Disposing of the New UAL Convertible
Employee Notes
As mentioned above, a recipient of New UAL Convertible Employee Notes may recognize taxable
income upon the receipt of such notes in an amount equal to the notes issue price. It is
anticipated that the issue price of the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes will equal the face
amount of such notes. A Holders tax basis in the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes received
should be equal to the issue price. A Holders holding period for the New UAL Convertible Employee
Notes should begin the day following the date of the receipt of such notes.
Interest paid on the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes will be taxable to a United States
Holder of such notes as ordinary interest income (and not as wage income) at the time it accrues or
is received in accordance with the Holders method of accounting for federal income tax purposes.
The Debtors may be required to pay additional interest if the Debtors fail to comply with certain
obligations under the note agreements or upon occurrence of certain events. In addition, the
Debtors have the option to pay the first year of interest on the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes
in New UAL Common Stock. Although the issue is not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to take the
position that the
185
possibility of payments of either additional interest or additional shares does not result in the
New UAL Convertible Employee Notes being treated as contingent payment debt instruments under the
applicable Treasury Regulations. The Debtors determination in this regard is binding on all U.S.
Holders, unless a Holder discloses a contrary position to the IRS. This position, however, is not
binding on the IRS. If the IRS takes a contrary position from that described above, then a Holder
of New UAL Convertible Employee Notes may be required to accrue interest income based upon a
comparable yield, regardless of the Holders method of accounting. Such yield would be higher
than the stated coupon on the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes. In addition, any gain on the
sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes
(including any gain realized on the conversion of a note) may be recharacterized as ordinary
income. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the New UAL
Convertible Employee Notes being treated as contingent payment debt instruments. The remainder of
this discussion assumes that the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes are not treated as contingent
payment debt instruments. If the Debtors become obligated to pay additional interest, the Debtors
intend to take the position that such amounts would be treated as ordinary interest income and
taxed as described above. In the event that additional shares are paid as a make whole payment,
such payment should be included in the amount realized by the Holder on conversion or repurchase of
the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes.
Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a New UAL Convertible Employee Note (other than a
conversion into New UAL Common Stock), a Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the
difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement and the Holders
adjusted tax basis in the New UAL Convertible Employee Notes. For these purposes, the amount
realized does not include any amount attributable to accrued interest. Amounts attributable to
accrued interest are treated as interest as described above. As it is unlikely that the New UAL
Convertible Employee Notes will be issued with market discount (described below), gain or loss
realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of a New UAL Convertible Employee Note will generally
be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or retirement such note has been
held for more than one year (assuming such Holder held the New UAL Convertible Employee Note as a
capital asset).
A Holders conversion of a New UAL Convertible Employee Note solely into New UAL Common Stock
(other than cash in lieu of fractional share of New UAL Common Stock) will not be a taxable event.
The receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of New UAL Common Stock will result in capital
gain or loss (measured by the difference between the cash received in lieu of the fractional share
and the Holders tax basis in the fractional share), and the fair market value of New UAL Common
Stock received with respect to accrued interest will be taxed as a payment of interest as described
above.
A Holders tax basis in the New UAL Common Stock received upon conversion of a New UAL
Convertible Employee Note (other than New UAL Common Stock received with respect to accrued
interest, but including any basis allocable to a fractional share) will be the same as the Holders
basis in the note at the time of conversion. The tax basis of New UAL Common Stock received with
respect to accrued interest will be the amount of such interest. The amount of gain or loss
recognized on the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share will generally equal the difference
between the cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the Holders tax basis in such
fractional share. A Holders tax basis in a fractional share will be determined by allocating the
Holders tax basis in the New UAL Common Stock between the New UAL Common Stock received upon
conversion and the fractional share, in accordance with their respective fair market values.
Holders of Unsecured Employee Distributions should be aware that UAL could be required to
effect withholding for purposes of federal and state income and employment taxes with respect to
the distribution of New UAL Common Stock and New UAL Convertible Employee Notes to such Holders
regardless of whether such Holders receive either New UAL Common Stock or New UAL Convertible
186
Employee Notes. Unless the Holder of such Claims makes other arrangements with UAL (such as
remitting to UAL directly the amount of such taxes owed), UAL may be required to withhold and sell
on behalf of such Holder an amount of stock sufficient to satisfy the withholding liability. The
tax rate for such withholding should equal 25% for federal income tax purposes. In addition,
withholding may be required for state income taxes and any applicable employment taxes based on the
Holders individual residence and situation. United filed a motion pursuant to Section 505 of the
Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court requesting a finding that it does not have to pay
withholding taxes with respect to such distributions. This motion is currently set for hearing on
September 16, 2005 solely on the question of whether the Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over
the matter.
c. Exchange of Unsecured Debentures for New UAL Common Stock
Holders of Unsecured Debentures should recognize gain or loss on the exchange of Unsecured
Debentures for New UAL Common Stock. Although the Unsecured Debentures may constitute securities,
the exchange of Unsecured Debentures for New UAL Common Stock likely will not qualify pursuant to a
tax-free reorganization because the Unsecured Debentures were issued by United, and will be
exchanged for equity in UAL. Accordingly, Holders of the Unsecured Debentures should recognize
gain or loss equal to the difference between: (i) the fair market value of New UAL Common Stock
(as of the date the stock is distributed to the Holder) received in exchange for the Unsecured
Debentures; and (ii) the Holders adjusted basis in the Unsecured Debentures. Such gain or loss
should be capital in nature so long as the Unsecured Debentures are held as capital assets (subject
to the market discount rules described below) and should be long-term capital gain or loss if the
Unsecured Debentures were held for more than one year. To the extent that a portion of the New UAL
Common Stock received in exchange for the Unsecured Debentures is allocable to accrued but untaxed
interest, the Holder may recognize ordinary income. See Accrued But Untaxed Interest below. A
Holders tax basis in New UAL Common Stock received should equal the fair market value of the New
UAL Common Stock as of the date the stock is distributed to the Holder. A Holders holding period
for New UAL Common Stock should begin on the day following the Effective Date.
d. Accrued but Untaxed Interest
To the extent that any amount received under the Plan by a Holder is attributable to accrued
but untaxed interest, such amount should be taxable to the Holder as interest income, if such
accrued interest has not been previously included in the Holders gross income for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Conversely, a Holder may be able to recognize a deductible loss (or,
possibly, a write-off against a reserve for bad debts) to the extent that any accrued interest was
previously included in the Holders gross income but was not paid in full by Debtor.
The extent to which New UAL Common Stock received by a Holder will be attributable to accrued
but untaxed interest is unclear. Under the Plan, the aggregate consideration to be distributed to
Holders of Allowed Claims in each Class will be treated as first satisfying an amount equal to the
stated principal amount of the Allowed Claim for such Holders and any remaining consideration as
satisfying accrued, but unpaid, interest, if any. Certain legislative history indicates that an
allocation of consideration as between principal and interest provided in a bankruptcy plan is
binding for federal income tax purposes. However, the IRS could take the position that the
consideration received by a Holder should be allocated in some way other than as provided in the
Plan. Holders of Unsecured Claims should consult their own tax advisors regarding the proper
allocation of the consideration received by them under the Plan.
187
e. Market Discount
Holders who exchange Unsecured Claims for New UAL Common Stock may be affected by the market
discount provisions of Internal Revenue Code Sections 1276 through 1278. Under these rules, some
or all of the gain realized by a Holder may be treated as ordinary income (instead of capital
gain), to the extent of the amount of market discount on such Unsecured Claims.
In general, a debt obligation with a fixed maturity of more than one year that is acquired by
a holder on the secondary market (or, in certain circumstances, upon original issuance) is
considered to be acquired with market discount as to that holder if the debt obligations stated
redemption price at maturity (or revised issue price, in the case of a debt obligation issued with
original issue discount) exceeds the tax basis of the debt obligation in the holders hands
immediately after its acquisition. However, a debt obligation will not be a market discount bond
if such excess is less than a statutory de minimis amount (equal to 0.25 percent of the debt
obligations stated redemption price at maturity or revised issue price, in the case of a debt
obligation issued with original issue discount).
Any gain recognized by a Holder on the taxable disposition of Unsecured Claims (determined as
described above) that were acquired with market discount should be treated as ordinary income to
the extent of the market discount that accrued thereon while the Unsecured Claims were considered
to be held by a Holder (unless the Holder elected to include market discount in income as it
accrued). To the extent that the Unsecured Claims that were acquired with market discount are
exchanged in a tax-free transaction for other property (as may occur here), any market discount
that accrued on the Unsecured Claims (i.e., up to the time of the exchange) but was not recognized
by the Holder is carried over to the property received therefore and any gain recognized on the
subsequent sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of such property is treated as ordinary
income to the extent of such accrued market discount.
2. Consequences to Holders of Secured Aircraft Claims
The Holders of Secured Aircraft Claims may recognize income, gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes with respect to the discharge of their Claims, depending on whether
their Claims are Reinstated or, if not Reinstated, on the outcome of their negotiations with the
Debtors. A Holder whose Secured Aircraft Claim is Reinstated pursuant to the Plan will not realize
income, gain or loss unless either (i) such Holder is treated as having received interest, damages
or other income in connection with the Reinstatement, or (ii) such Reinstatement is considered a
significant modification of the Claim. Holders of Secured Aircraft Claims should consult their
own tax advisors to determine whether or not a significant modification has occurred and its
impact to such Holder. A Holder who receives Cash or other property in exchange for its Secured
Aircraft Claim pursuant to the Plan will generally recognize income, gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the amount of Cash or
fair market value of the other property received in exchange for its Claim, and (2) the Creditors
adjusted tax basis in its Claim. The character of such gain or loss as capital gain or loss or as
ordinary income or loss will be determined by a number of factors, including the tax status of the
Holder, the nature of the Claim in such Holders hands, whether the Claim constitutes a capital
asset in the hands of the Holder, whether the Claim was purchased at a discount, and whether and to
what extent the Holder has previously claimed a bad debt deduction with respect to its Claim. The
United States federal income tax consequences of the receipt of Cash or other property allocable to
accrued interest may be relevant and are summarized above in ARTICLE VII.A.1.d. In addition, the
market discount provisions summarized above in ARTICLE VII.A.1.e. may also apply.
188
3. Consequences to Holders of Chicago OHare Municipal Bond Claims
A Holder of Chicago OHare Municipal Bond Claims who exchanges such Claim for new Chicago
Municipal Bonds and New UAL Stock pursuant to the Plan should recognize for federal income tax
purposes gain or loss on such exchange based on the difference between (a) such Holders tax basis
in his Claim, and (b) the adjusted issue price of the new Chicago Municipal Bond plus the fair
value of the New UAL Stock received as of the date the stock is distributed to the Holder. While
the Debtors do not intend to allocate any portion of the new Chicago Municipal Bonds and New UAL
Stock to accrued but unpaid interest on such Claims, it is possible that the IRS would take the
position that a portion of such consideration should be allocated to such interest. Whether any
such interest so allocated would be treated as tax-exempt interest is uncertain under existing law.
Holders should consult with their personal tax advisers regarding the possibility of such
characterization and the tax consequences thereof.
4. Consequences to Holders of TOPrS Preferred Securities and Subordinated Securities Claims
Holders of TOPrS Preferred Securities and Subordinated Securities Claims will receive no
distribution on account of such Claims. Holders of TOPrS Preferred Securities and Subordinated
Securities Claims should be entitled to a loss deduction provided that such deduction was not
previously claimed by such Holders and provided such Holders have a tax basis in their TOPrS
Preferred Securities and Subordinated Securities Claims. The loss realized on the cancellation of
TOPrS Preferred Securities and Subordinated Securities Claims should be a capital loss under
Internal Revenue Code Section 165 if such claims are treated as securities under Internal Revenue
Code Section 165(g)(2). If TOPrS Preferred Securities and Subordinated Securities Claims are not
treated as securities under Internal Revenue Code Section 165(g)(2), the loss realized on the
cancellation of TOPrS Preferred Securities and Subordinated Securities Claims may be a capital loss
or an ordinary loss under Internal Revenue Code Section 166, depending on the facts and
circumstances of the Holder, the obligor, and the instrument with respect to which a deduction is
claimed.
5. Consequences to Holders of Old Preferred Stock and Old UAL Common Stock
Holders of Old Preferred Stock and Old UAL Common Stock that is cancelled in the Plan will be
allowed a worthless stock deduction (unless such Holder had previously claimed a worthless stock
deduction with respect to any Old Preferred Stock or Old UAL Common Stock and assuming that the
taxable year that includes the Plan is the same taxable year in which such stock first became
worthless) in an amount equal to the Holders adjusted basis in the Old Preferred Stock and/or Old
UAL Common Stock. A worthless stock deduction is a deduction allowed to a Holder of a
corporations stock for the taxable year in which such stock becomes worthless. If the Holder held
Old Preferred Stock and/or Old UAL Common Stock as a capital asset, the loss will be treated as a
loss from the sale or exchange of such capital asset.
6. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Under the backup withholding rules, a Holder of a Claim may be subject to backup withholding
with respect to distributions or payments made pursuant to the Plan unless that Holder: (a) comes
within certain exempt categories (which generally include corporations) and, when required,
demonstrates that fact; or (b) provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies
under penalty of perjury that the taxpayer identification number is correct and that the Holder is
not subject to backup withholding because of a failure to report all dividend and interest income.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax, but merely an advance payment that may be refunded to
the extent it results in an overpayment of tax.
189
Debtor will withhold all amounts required by law to be withheld from payments of interest and
dividends. Debtor will comply with all applicable reporting requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code.
THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN ARE COMPLEX. THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DOES NOT
DISCUSS ALL ASPECTS OF FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR HOLDER IN LIGHT
OF SUCH HOLDERS CIRCUMSTANCES AND INCOME TAX SITUATION. ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND
INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THE RESTRUCTURING, INCLUDING THE
APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, AND OF ANY CHANGE IN APPLICABLE
TAX LAWS.
B. Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Reorganized Debtors
1. Cancellation of Debt and Reduction of Tax Attributes
As a result of the Plan, the amount of Debtors aggregate outstanding indebtedness will be
substantially reduced. In general, absent an exception, a debtor will realize and recognize
cancellation of debt income (COD Income) upon satisfaction of its outstanding indebtedness for
total consideration less than the amount of such indebtedness. The amount of COD Income, in
general, is the excess of (a) the adjusted issue price of the indebtedness satisfied, over (b) the
sum of the issue price of any new indebtedness of the taxpayer issued, the amount of cash paid, and
the fair market value of any new consideration (including stock of the debtor) given in
satisfaction of such indebtedness at the time of the exchange.
A debtor will not, however, be required to include any amount of COD Income in gross income if
the debtor is under the jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 bankruptcy proceeding and the
discharge of debt occurs pursuant to that proceeding. Instead, as a consequence of such exclusion,
a debtor must reduce its tax attributes by the amount of COD Income that it excluded from gross
income under Internal Revenue Code Section 108. In general, tax attributes will be reduced in the
following order: (a) NOLs; (b) most tax credits and capital loss carryovers; (c) tax basis in
assets; and (d) foreign tax credits. A debtor with COD income may elect first to reduce the basis
of its depreciable assets under Section 108(b)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Because the Plan provides that Holders of Unsecured Claims will receive New UAL Common Stock,
the amount of COD Income, and accordingly the amount of tax attributes required to be reduced, will
depend significantly on the fair market value of the New UAL Common Stock exchanged therefor. This
value cannot be known with certainty until after the Effective Date. Thus, although it is expected
that a reduction of tax attributes will be required, the exact amount of such reduction cannot be
predicted. Nonetheless, despite this reduction, the Debtors expect that they will have a
significant NOL remaining after emergence from bankruptcy.
In the context of a consolidated group of corporations, current law generally provides for a
complex ordering mechanic in determining how the tax attributes of one member can be reduced by the
COD income of another member. However, as a majority of the indebtedness (and resulting COD
Income) and NOLs are both at the United entity level, the bulk of the tax attribute reduction also
will take place at the United level and these ordering rules should have relatively little impact.
190
2. Limitation of Net Operating Loss Carryovers and Other Tax Attributes
As noted above, the Debtors had approximately $4 billion of federal NOLs as of the Petition
Date and have incurred additional NOLs since such time. The precise amount of NOLs that will be
available to the Debtors at emergence is based on a number of factors and is impossible to
calculate at this time. Some of the factors that will impact the amount of available NOLs include:
the amount of tax losses incurred by the Debtors in 2005, the value of the New UAL Common Stock;
and the amount of COD Income incurred by the Debtors in connection with the consummation of the
Plan. Nonetheless, the Debtors anticipate that, taking these factors into account, they will have
significant federal NOLs available following emergence, subject to the limitations discussed below.
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 generally limits a corporations use of its NOLs if a
corporation undergoes an ownership change. This discussion describes the limitation determined
under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 in the case of an ownership change as the Section 382
Limitation. The Section 382 Limitation on the use of pre-change NOLs in any post-change year is
generally equal to the product of the fair market value of the loss corporations outstanding stock
immediately before the ownership change and the long term tax-exempt rate (which is published
monthly by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and most recently was approximately 4.2% in August
2005) in effect for the month in which the ownership change occurs. If the corporation
experiencing an ownership change has a net unrealized built-in gain (generally, the excess, if
any, of the aggregate fair market value of the corporations assets over the aggregate tax basis of
such assets), the Section 382 Limitation which would otherwise apply will be increased by the
amount of such built-in gains which are recognized during the five-year period following the
ownership change. In addition, Internal Revenue Code Section 383 applies a similar limitation to
capital loss carryforwards and tax credits.
In general, an ownership change occurs when the percentage of the corporations stock owned by
certain 5 percent shareholders increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest
percentage owned at any time during the applicable testing period (generally, the shorter of:
(a) the three-year period preceding the testing date; or (b) the period of time since the most
recent ownership change of the corporation). A 5 percent shareholder for these purposes
includes, generally, an individual or entity that directly or indirectly owns 5 percent or more of
a corporations stock during the relevant period, and may include one or more groups of
shareholders that, in the aggregate, own less than 5 percent of the value of the corporations
stock. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, an ownership change with respect to an affiliated
group of corporations filing a consolidated return that have consolidated NOLs is generally
measured by changes in stock ownership of the parent corporation of the group. An ownership change
will occur with respect to the Debtors in connection with the Plan. Therefore, the Debtors
ability to use their NOLs may be limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
When an ownership change occurs pursuant to the implementation of a plan of reorganization
under the Bankruptcy Code, the general Section 382 Limitation may not apply if certain requirements
are satisfied. Under Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Section 382 Limitation
does not apply to an ownership change of a loss corporation if the corporation was under the
jurisdiction of a bankruptcy court immediately before the change and those persons who were
shareholders and creditors of the loss corporation immediately before the ownership change own at
least 50 percent of the loss corporations stock by value and voting power after the ownership
change. Alternatively, if the exchanges contemplated by the Plan do not qualify under Section
382(l)(5) or if the Debtors elect out of the application of such section, the Debtors Section 382
Limitation will be determined in accordance with Section 382(l)(6), as described below.
If the exchanges contemplated by the Plan qualify under Internal Revenue Code Section
382(l)(5), the Debtors would avoid entirely the application of the Section 382 Limitation to their
NOLs
191
and recognized built-in losses, if any, but would be required to reduce their NOLs and
possibly other tax attributes by any deduction for interest claimed by the Debtors with respect to
any indebtedness converted into stock for: (a) the three-year period preceding the taxable year of
the ownership change; and (b) the portion of the year of the ownership change prior to the
Consummation of the Plan. Under Section 382(l)(5), if there is a second ownership change during
the two-year period immediately following Consummation of the Plan, the Section 382 Limitation
after that ownership change will be zero. The determination of the application of Section
382(l)(5) is highly fact specific and dependent on circumstances that are difficult to assess
accurately, such as the length of time that a Claim was held by a claimant, whether a Claim arose
in the ordinary course of a claimants business, the value of New UAL Common Stock received by a
claimant, which claimants qualify as Creditors for purposes of Section 382(l)(5) (e.g., creditors
of a parent or a subsidiary), the percentage of New UAL Common Stock held by a claimant
post-reorganization, and whether any claimant actively participated in formulating the Debtors
Plan and in doing so made it clear to the Debtors that its debt was not qualified debt. In
addition, the existing statutes, regulations, and case law are ambiguous with respect to the
application of Section 382(l)(5) to consolidated groups where indebtedness exists at both the
parent and subsidiary levels. Thus, the Debtors are not certain whether they will qualify for the
Section 382(l)(5) special rule.
If the exchanges contemplated by the Plan do not qualify under Internal Revenue Code Section
382(l)(5) or if Reorganized UAL elects not to use that provision, Reorganized UALs use of its NOLs
to offset taxable income earned after Consummation of the Plan will be subject to the Section 382
Limitation. However, in that case, Section 382(l)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that
Reorganized UAL may elect to have the value of its stock, for the purpose of calculating its
Section 382 Limitation, determined by reference to the net equity value of the stock immediately
after the ownership change has occurred (rather than immediately before the ownership change, as is
the case under the general rule for non-bankruptcy ownership changes). In that case, because it is
difficult to predict Reorganized UALs net equity value immediately after the exchanges
contemplated by the Plan, Reorganized UALs use of its carryover may be substantially limited.
The Debtors have not yet determined whether they will rely on the special rule under Section
382(l)(5) or the special rule under Section 382(l)(6). However, the IRS has announced new rules
that may make it less punitive for the Debtors to utilize Section 382(l)(6). Under IRS rules,
which took the form of an IRS Notice (and thus are subject to change at any time), a corporation
whose assets generally have a fair market value greater than their tax basis (a net unrealized
built-in gain) is permitted to increase its annual Section 382 Limitation during the five years
immediately after the ownership change by an amount equal to the depreciation deductions that a
hypothetical purchaser of the Debtors assets would have been permitted to claim if it had acquired
the Debtors assets in a taxable transactions. While the Debtors have not completed review of
their assets, it may be that they in fact will have a net unrealized built-in gain on assets and
that the hypothetical depreciation on those assets, following a deemed sale, would be significant.
If so, the ability of the Debtors to utilize their pre-change losses to offset their taxable income
under Section 382(l)(6) following Consummation of the Plan may be significantly enhanced. At all
events, however, it is important to recognize that the Debtors pre-change losses will be reduced
by the amount of COD income realized as part of Consummation of the Plan, and that the new rules
issued by the IRS that may enhance the Debtors ability under Section 382(l)(6) to utilize their
pre-change losses could be changed at any time.
Regardless of whether the Debtors take advantage of Section 382(l)(5) or Section 382(l)(6),
the Debtors use of their pre-change losses after emerging from bankruptcy may be adversely
affected if an ownership change within the meaning of Section 382 were to occur after the
Effective Date.
To avoid an ownership change after the Effective Date, the Reorganized UAL Charter will
contain a 5 Percent Ownership Limitation, effective for 5 years after Reorganized UAL emerges
from
192
bankruptcy. This limitation will provide that any attempted transfer of New UAL Common Stock
or other Reorganized UAL securities (collectively Reorganized UAL Securities) prior to the
Restriction Release Date will be prohibited and void if either: (a) the transferor is a 5-percent
shareholder (within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code); or (b) to the extent
that, as a result of such attempted transfer (or any series of attempted transfers of which such
transfer is a part), either: (i) any person or group of persons would become a 5-percent
shareholder, or (ii) the holdings of any 5-percent shareholder would be increased (a 5-Percent
Transaction).
The Restriction Release Date is the earliest of the following dates: (a) the fifth anniversary
of the Effective Date; (b) the repeal, amendment or modification of Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code in such a way as to render the restrictions imposed by such section no longer
applicable to Reorganized UAL; (c) the beginning of a taxable year of Reorganized UAL in which none
of the anticipated tax benefits of the NOLs are available; and (d) the date on which the Section
382 Limitation imposed on the Debtors would not be materially less than the NOL carryforward of the
Debtors. The restrictions on transfer will not apply to certain transactions approved by
Reorganized UALs Board of Directors.
The purpose of the 5-Percent Ownership Limitation is to reduce the risk that a change in the
ownership of Reorganized UAL may occur, thereby causing the loss or reduction of federal income tax
attributes of the Debtors for purposes of Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code.
However, the implementation of the 5-Percent Ownership Limitation also could have the effect of
impeding an attempt to acquire a significant or controlling interest in Reorganized UAL and, as a
practical matter, may make it difficult for a 5-percent Holder to pledge such securities on margin.
Any attempted transfer of Reorganized UAL Securities that are subject to the 5-Percent
Ownership Limitation in violation of the requirements of the Reorganized UAL Charter will be null
and void. The purported transferor will remain the owner of such transferred shares and Reorganized
UAL, as agent for the purported transferor, will be authorized to sell such shares to an eligible
transferee that is not subject to the 5-Percent Ownership Limitation. The proceeds of any such sale
will be applied to reimburse Reorganized UAL for its expenses, then any remaining amounts will be
paid to reimburse the intended transferee for any payments made by the intended transferee to the
transferor, and the remainder, if any, will be paid to one or more organizations qualifying under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Debtors are in negotiations with certain aircraft lessors and/or mortgagors with respect
to the disposition or use of such aircraft. The Debtors anticipate that, on the disposition of
certain aircraft, they will recognize gain that is taxable as ordinary income for United States
federal income tax purposes. The Debtors expect that they will have adequate NOLs to offset any
such taxable income.
ARTICLE VIII.
VOTING PROCEDURES
The Bankruptcy Court may confirm the Plan only if it determines that the Plan complies with
the technical requirements of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. One of these technical
requirements is that the Bankruptcy Court find, among other things, that the Plan has been accepted
by the requisite votes of all Classes of Impaired Claims and Interests unless approval will be
sought under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in spite of the nonacceptance by one or more
such Classes. On [___], 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order that, among other things,
set the hearing date on the Confirmation of the Plan and the relevant objection and reply deadlines
relating thereto, the Record Date, and the Voting Deadline. On [___], 2005 the
Bankruptcy Court approved an order (the Solicitation
193
Procedures Order) that, among other things, approved this Disclosure Statement, approved the
Solicitation Procedures25 for soliciting votes on the Plan, and approved the form of the
solicitation documents, and various other notices. A copy of the Solicitation Procedures is
included as Exhibit 1 in the Plan Supplement and is hereby incorporated by reference as though
fully set forth herein. The Solicitation Procedures should be read in conjunction with this
section of the Disclosure Statement.
If you have any questions about (a) the procedures for voting your Claim or Interest or with
respect to the packet of materials that you have received, or (b) the amount of your Claim or your
Interest, please contact the Debtors Solicitation Agent, Poorman-Douglas Corporation, at (877)
752-5527. If you wish to obtain an additional copy of the Plan, this Disclosure Statement, the Plan
Supplement, or other Solicitation Documents, you can obtain them from the Debtors private website

97005 or by telephone at (877) 752-5527.
A. Who Can Vote
In general, a holder of a claim or interest may vote to accept or to reject a plan if (i) no
party in interest has objected to such claim or interest, and (ii) the claim or interest is
impaired by the plan. If the holder of an impaired claim or impaired interest will not receive any
distribution under the plan in respect of such claim or interest, the Bankruptcy Code deems such
holder to have rejected the plan. If the claim or interest is not impaired, the Bankruptcy Code
deems that the holder of such claim or interest has accepted the plan and the plan proponent need
not solicit such holders vote.
Pursuant to Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of claims or interests is deemed to
be impaired under a plan unless (i) the plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and
contractual rights to which such claim or interest entitles the Holder thereof, or (ii)
notwithstanding any legal right to an accelerated payment of such claim or interest, the plan cures
all existing defaults (other than defaults resulting from the occurrence of events of bankruptcy)
and reinstates the maturity of such claim or interest as it existed before the default. The Holder
of a Claim that is Impaired under the Plan is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
Only the following Holders of Impaired Claims in voting classes shall be entitled to vote with
regard to such Claims: (i) the Holders of claims for which proofs of claim have been timely filed,
as reflected on the official claims register, as of the close of business on the Record Date, with
the exception of those claims subject to a pending objection filed before the Voting Deadline,
unless such claims are allowed for voting purposes pursuant to a Resolution Event pursuant to the
procedures in Paragraphs D.6 and D.7 of the Solicitation Procedures; and (ii) the Holders of
scheduled claims that are listed in the Debtors Schedules, with the exception of those scheduled
claims that are listed as contingent, unliquidated or disputed claims (excluding such scheduled
claims that have been superseded by a timely-filed proof of claim); provided, however, that the
assignee of a transferred and assigned claim (whether a timely-filed or scheduled claim) shall be
permitted to vote such claim only if the appropriate Transfer/Assignment Form has been noted on the
Bankruptcy Courts docket as of the close of business on the Record Date.
A vote may be disregarded if the Bankruptcy Court determines, pursuant to Section 1126(e) of
the Bankruptcy Code, that it was not solicited or procured in good faith or in accordance with the
|

Capitalized terms in this Article VIII that are not
otherwise defined in the Disclosure Statement or Plan shall have the meanings

194
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Solicitation Procedures also set forth assumptions and
procedures for tabulating Ballots/Master Ballots, including Ballots/Master Ballots that are not
completed fully or correctly.

condition, the Debtors will disseminate additional solicitation materials and will extend the
solicitation, in each case to the extent directed by the Bankruptcy Court.
IN LIGHT OF THE BENEFITS OF THE PLAN FOR EACH CLASS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS, THE DEBTORS
RECOMMEND THAT HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS IN EACH OF THE IMPAIRED CLASSES VOTE TO ACCEPT THE
PLAN.
ARTICLE IX.
PLAN SUPPLEMENT
Attached as Appendix E hereto is a list of all of the items that are included in the Plan
Supplement. The Debtors reserve the right to modify and supplement the Plan Supplement, as set
forth in the Plan.
ARTICLE X.
RECOMMENDATION
In the opinion of the Debtors, the Plan is preferable to the alternatives described herein
because it provides for a larger distribution to the Holders than would otherwise result in a
liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, any alternative other than
Confirmation of the Plan could result in extensive delays and increased administrative expenses
resulting in smaller distributions to the Holders of Claims. Accordingly, the Debtors recommend
that Holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan support Confirmation of the Plan and vote to
accept the Plan.

APPENDIX A
DEBTORS JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 11 OF THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY CODE
[SEE EXHIBIT 99.2 TO THIS FORM 8-K]
Appendix B
NOTES AND ASSUMPTIONS TO HYPOTHETICAL LIQUIDATION ANALYSES
Notes and Assumptions to Hypothetical Liquidation Analyses
A. Introduction
As to each holder of a claim or interest in or against a Chapter 11 bankruptcy estate that
does not vote to accept a plan of reorganization, Section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code
provides that the Bankruptcy Court shall not confirm the proposed plan unless the plan provides
such holders at least as much as they would have received if the debtor liquidated under Chapter 7,
a/k/a the best interests of creditors test. To that end, the Debtors have prepared the following
hypothetical liquidation analyses in connection with the Plan and Disclosure Statement.
In reviewing potential Chapter 7 liquidation scenarios, the Debtors have prepared separate
analyses that, on the one hand, assume substantive consolidation of the Estates of all of the
Debtors (the Consolidated Liquidation Analysis) and, on the other hand, assume that the Estates
of the Debtors are not substantively consolidated and are separately liquidated (each, a
Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analysis and collectively with the Consolidated Liquidation
Analysis, the Liquidation Analyses). The Debtors management assembled the following Liquidation
Analyses with the assistance of Huron and Rothschild.
The Liquidation Analyses are based upon the assumptions discussed herein. Unless otherwise
specifically set forth in the Liquidation Analyses, all capitalized terms not defined herein or in
the Liquidation Analyses shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Plan and the
Disclosure Statement. The Liquidation Analyses estimate potential cash distributions to Holders of
Allowed Claims upon a hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation of the assets of each Debtor, and it is
assumed that there are no sales of the Debtors businesses as going concerns. Accordingly, asset
values discussed herein may differ from amounts referred to in the Plan and Disclosure Statement.
B. Reservations
The determination of the costs and hypothetical proceeds from the liquidation of the Debtors
assets is an uncertain process involving the extensive use of estimates and assumptions that,
although considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business,
economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtors, their
management, and their advisors. ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE DEBTORS NOR THEIR ADVISORS MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE ACTUAL RESULTS WOULD OR WOULD NOT APPROXIMATE THE ESTIMATES AND
ASSUMPTIONS REPRESENTED HEREIN. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD VARY MATERIALLY.
In preparing the Liquidation Analyses, the Debtors have estimated the amount of Allowed Claims
based upon a review of their scheduled claims and all proofs of claim associated with prepetition
and postpetition obligations. Additional claims were estimated to include certain postpetition
obligations on account of which claims have not yet been asserted (but which would be asserted in a
Chapter 7 liquidation), including but not
1
limited to administrative expense priority claims, unused passenger ticket liability, claims
arising in connection with pension and related obligations, other employee-related obligations,
federal and state tax liability, unsecured deficiency claims, certain unexpired lease and executory
contract rejection claims, and other Allowed Claims. The Bankruptcy Court has not estimated or
otherwise fixed the aggregate amount of Allowed Claims at the estimated amounts contained in the
Liquidation Analyses. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF AGGREGATE ALLOWED CLAIMS SET FORTH IN THE
LIQUIDATION ANALYSES SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN FOR VOTING IN CONNECTION
WITH THE PLAN. NO ASSUMPTION BY THE DEBTORS IN THESE LIQUIDATION ANALYSES REGARDING ANY SETOFF,
RECOUPMENT, OR OTHER OFFSET BY A DEBTOR OR NON-DEBTOR PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED AS AN ADMISSION
REGARDING THE VALIDITY OF SUCH OFFSET RIGHT. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSES IS
INTENDED TO BE OR CONSTITUTES A CONCESSION OR ADMISSION OF THE DEBTORS. THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF
ALLOWED CLAIMS IN THE DEBTORS CASES COULD MATERIALLY AND SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFER FROM THE ESTIMATED
AMOUNTS SET FORTH IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSES.
C. Baseline for Liquidation Analysis
The Liquidation Analyses assume conversion of the Debtors Chapter 11 cases to Chapter 7 on
August 31, 2005 (the Liquidation Date). On the Liquidation Date, the Bankruptcy Court would
appoint a Chapter 7 trustee (the Trustee). The Trustee would then suspend all of the Debtors
operations and immediately commence the liquidation of all of the Debtors assets. The Liquidation
Analyses are based on the Debtors unaudited book values as of June 30, 2005, which are used as an
estimate of the Debtors assets and liabilities as of the Liquidation Date. While the Debtors
operations have continued beyond the Liquidation Date, the Debtors actual financial results for
the period after June 30, 2005 do not materially deviate from the net assets and liabilities
reflected in the Debtors unaudited June 30, 2005 books and records. The Liquidation Analyses
reflect net realization rates that are percentages of net book values of the Debtors assets as of
June 30, 2005. In establishing an estimated range of liquidation proceeds, it is assumed that the
Trustee would conduct a forced liquidation over a 12-month period and an orderly liquidation
extended to 18 months. In either case, the liquidation period shall be referred to herein as the
Wind-Down Period.
The Liquidation Analyses assume that PBGC would assert its unfunded benefit liability claims
on account of termination of the Debtors defined benefit pension plans against all of the Debtors
and the Debtors wholly-owned non-Debtor subsidiaries i.e., Covia LLC, Four Star Insurance Co.
Ltd., United Airlines Ventures, Inc., and Kion de Mexico, S.A. de C.V (collectively, the
Non-Debtor Affiliates).1 Because it is likely
|
|
|
1 |
|
Each of the Debtors and Non-Debtor Affiliates,
as members of the UAL controlled group, would be jointly and
severally liable for PBGCs claims for unfunded benefits upon
termination of the Debtors defined benefit pension plans. See 29
U.S.C. § 1301(a)(14); 26 U.S.C. § 1563(a) (entities are in the
same controlled group if such entities are part of a chain
of corporations, or unincorporated entities engaged in a trade or
business, connected by common ownership of 80% or more). |
2
PBGC would argue that these non-Debtor Affiliates are members of the Debtors controlled
group, as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the
Internal Revenue Code, PBGC likely would assert a statutory lien against each of the Non-Debtor
Affiliates in a liquidation.2 As a result, the Liquidation Analyses assume that the
Debtors will not realize any value from the Non-Debtor Affiliates.
As stated above, the Liquidation Analyses present an estimate of liquidation costs during the
Wind-Down Period (Liquidation Costs) and realization rates based upon hypothetical liquidations
whereby the Trustee converts the Debtors assets into proceeds available to creditors. The Debtors
relied upon third-party appraisals and/or internal analyses to estimate liquidation values and
realization rates for the Debtors assets. The Consolidated Liquidation Analysis provides for
liquidation costs during the Wind-Down Period and realization rates based on a composite for all
filing entities. The costs and realization rates for each Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analysis
depend upon specific entity-by-entity factors.
D. Principal Assumptions
The Liquidation Analyses refer to certain categories of Assets, Liquidation Costs, and
Claims. The numerical designation of each category below corresponds with the line items (each a
Line Item) contained in the Liquidation Analyses.
1. |
|
DIP Repayment. In a liquidation, the Debtors debtor-in-possession lenders (the DIP
Lenders) would have a senior secured and joint and several superpriority claim (the DIP
Claim) against each of the Debtors for the outstanding balance of the debtors postpetition
credit facility (the DIP Facility). The Liquidation Analyses assume that the DIP Lenders
will satisfy the DIP Claim from the Debtors liquidity pool accounts (the Liquidity Pool)
maintained with the DIP Lenders prior to the Trustees use of the Liquidity Pool to satisfy
the Claims of the Debtors other creditors. In the Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses, the
remaining cash and cash equivalents (collectively, Cash) in the Liquidity Pool after
satisfaction of the DIP Claim is allocated to each Debtor in accordance with the percentage of
Cash attributed to each Debtor in the Debtors books and records.3 For purposes of
the Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses, any Cash accounts not maintained with the DIP
Lenders are assumed to be property of the bankruptcy estates of the individual Debtors holding
interests in any such accounts and are not shared with other Debtors. |
As of June 30, 2005, the DIP Claim was approximately $907 million, which includes the
outstanding balance of the DIP Facility, letters of credit issued under the DIP Facility,
and any penalties under the DIP Facility associated with
|
|
|
2 |
|
See 29 U.S.C. §1368(a) (allowing PBGC to
assert lien against members of controlled group for unfunded pension
liabilities upon plans termination). |
|
|
|
3 |
|
For example, the Debtors books and
records allocate 32.52% of Cash in the Liquidity Pool to United Air Lines, Inc.
(United). Thus, after repayment of the DIP Claim, United has
$222,822,649 in Cash (not including short-term investments) available to
satisfy claims in a Non-Consolidated liquidation. |
3
conversion of the Debtors cases to Chapter 7. The Liquidation Analyses also assume that,
in a liquidation, the beneficiaries will draw any letters of credit issued under the DIP
Facility.
Assets
2. |
|
Cash and Short-Term Investments. Cash and Short-Term Investments include remaining Cash in
the Liquidity Pool after satisfaction of the DIP Claim (allocated to each Debtor in accordance
with the percentage of Cash attributed to each Debtor in the Debtors books and records) and
other domestic and foreign bank accounts maintained by the Debtors, including overnight
investment of funds in foreign money market accounts. In the United Non-Consolidated
Liquidation Analysis and the Consolidated Liquidation Analyses, Cash set aside to satisfy
certain federal, state, and local trust fund tax liabilities is assumed offset by such
liabilities and is thus not reflected in the Debtors realization of assets for this Line
Item. The Liquidation Analyses otherwise assume a 100% realization rate for Cash and
Short-Term Investments based on the liquidity of these assets. |
3. |
|
Restricted Cash. Restricted Cash primarily includes cash and/or security deposits posted
with third parties on account of various obligations, including workers compensation claims,
claims of credit card processors, claims asserted by counterparties to fuel hedge contracts,
claims of airport authorities, and miscellaneous ticket and vacation deposit claims. |
The Liquidation Analyses assume that workers compensation deposits would be withheld to
satisfy the Debtors accrued workers compensation liabilities, and that state agencies
would not return any workers compensation deposits that exceed accrued workers
compensation liabilities to the Trustee in a liquidation. The Liquidation Analyses assume
that these agencies will retain the deposits to satisfy insurance tail liabilities not
currently reflected in the Debtors books and records.
It is assumed that there will be no realization from monies held by credit card processors
or any miscellaneous ticket and vacation deposits, which would be offset against refund
claims arising from unused post-petition passenger ticket obligations.
The Liquidation Analyses assume that any security deposits held by airports would be
entirely offset by damages resulting from rejection of the underlying lease or other
contractual obligation.
Because the Debtors fuel hedges have a positive value as of June 30, 2005, the
Liquidation Analyses assume that certain deposits made in connection with such hedges would
be recovered. Otherwise, it is assumed that there will be no net realization of any of the
various other nominal deposits, which will, in part, be offset against corresponding
claims.
4. |
|
Accounts Receivable. Accounts Receivable, which include amounts owed to the Debtors by
various parties, are categorized into three main sub-groups: traffic
|
4
receivables, government receivables, and other accounts receivable. Traffic
receivables primarily include receivables from the Airlines Clearing House, the
International Air Transport Association, domestic and international travel agencies,
passenger credit cards, the Universal Air Travel Plan, and airfreight sales. Government
receivables predominantly relate to transportation of mail and government passengers and
refundable taxes. Other miscellaneous receivables primarily include employee-related
receivables, sales, unbilled receivables, notes, and related interest receivables.
As a practical matter, after realization, Accounts Receivable are assumed offset against
any corresponding liabilities before realization of assets in Line Item 4.4 As
a result, any corresponding liabilities netted against Accounts Receivable are not
reflected in Line Item 18 (Administrative Claims). The estimated realization rates for
those Accounts Receivable not completely offset by corresponding liabilities are based on
standard industry assumptions in a hypothetical liquidation scenario and include the review
and assessment of each receivable by type, age, and quality.
5. |
|
Intercompany Receivables. Intercompany Receivables are the net Intercompany Claims owed to a
respective Debtor by another Debtor or Non-Debtor Affiliate. |
The Consolidated Liquidation Analysis ignores Intercompany Receivables among the Debtors
because consolidation results in the combination of all assets and liabilities of the
Debtors.
The Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses assume that all prepetition intercompany amounts
owed among the Debtors are unsecured Claims. The Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses do
not reflect any realization for unsecured, prepetition Intercompany Receivables because in
a liquidation scenario there are no recoveries on any prepetition, unsecured Claims, except
in the case of ULS where there is a de minimis recovery of approximately 2-3%.
The Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses afford super-priority administrative claim status
to any postpetition Intercompany Receivables under that certain Bankruptcy Court Order
dated December 9, 2002 Pursuant to Sections 363, 364, 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code
(A) Authorizing (I) Continued Use of Existing Cash Management System, (II) Maintenance of
Existing Bank Accounts, (III) Continued Use of Existing Business Forms, and (IV) Continued
Use of Existing Investment Guidelines; and (B) According Superpriority Status of Certain
Intercompany Claims (the Cash Management Order) [Docket No. 157].
The Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses also assume that all Intercompany Claims and
Intercompany Receivables are subject to rights of setoff and recoupment and, in each
instance, the Intercompany Receivables and the Intercompany Claims reflected in the
Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses incorporate such offset.
|
|
|
4 |
|
For example, traffic receivables are offset
against unused post-petition passenger ticket obligations. |
5
For practical purposes, Line Item 5 in the Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses does not
account for any Debtors recovery on Intercompany Receivables because each Debtors
recovery on all other Assets must be assessed before any Debtors recovery on Intercompany
Receivables can be calculated. As a result, each Debtors recovery, if any, on
Intercompany Receivables is reflected in Line Item 16 (Super-Priority Administrative
Claims), which, as explained below, nets each particular Debtors postpetition Intercompany
Receivables against postpetition Intercompany Claims against that Debtor.
The Liquidation Analyses also assume that the Trustee will not pursue any Intercompany
Receivables against Non-Debtor Affiliates because PBGCs statutory liens and assertion of
other claims against the Non-Debtor Affiliates will substantially dilute any such claims
asserted by the Debtors.
6. |
|
Aircraft Fuel Inventory. Aircraft Fuel Inventory includes the Debtors inventory of jet and
ground fuel. Jet and ground fuel is assumed to be re-salable at or near market value. As of
June 30, 2005, the Debtors carried on average approximately 7-10 days of fuel inventory at
both United and UAFC. For purposes of the Liquidation Analyses, it is assumed that fuel
pricing at the time of realization is consistent with the purchase price reflected in the
Debtors accounting records. The Liquidation Analyses estimate a realization rate of 98% of
book value for fuel, after netting a 2% transaction fee that the Trustee is assumed to have to
pay in a liquidation. |
7. |
|
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
primarily include purchase commitments under fuel supply agreements, credit card fees paid to
agencies for passenger tickets purchased but not yet flown, travel agency commissions,
insurance, rent, and taxes. |
The Liquidation Analyses assume a 98% realization rate on prepaid jet fuel, after netting a
2% transaction fee, and a 98% realization rate on prepaid credit card fees for which there
is no corresponding offset, after netting a 2% contractual transaction fee. The
Liquidation Analyses also assume full recovery of prepaid post-retirement benefits.
However, these prepaid benefits are assumed offset by accrued current liabilities for
current and retired employees, as well as accrued insurance obligations. The Liquidation
Analyses assume varying realization rates on account of the other aggregate prepaid
expenses depending on the nature of the prepaid expense. It is assumed that a large
portion of such prepaid expenses will be offset by corresponding liabilities arising in a
hypothetical liquidation.
8. |
|
Flight Equipment. Flight Equipment includes all aircraft equipment, e.g., aircraft, spare
engines, spare parts and rotables, leasehold improvements on leased aircraft, deposits for
aircraft, and prepayments on aircraft purchase contracts. After repayment of the DIP Facility
in a liquidation, the Debtors expect to own certain Flight Equipment, including aircraft
previously encumbered under the DIP Facility (the Unencumbered Aircraft), as well as an
inventory of spare engines, rotables, and spare parts. |
6
Using recent third-party fair market value estimates, the Liquidation Analyses assume the
following realization rates for Flight Equipment: (i) between 50% and 68% of fair market
value for Unencumbered Aircraft; (ii) between 50% and 57% of fair market value for spare
engines; and (iii) between 32% and 57% of fair market value for spare parts and rotables.
The Liquidation Analyses rely on the Debtors extensive industry knowledge and certain
third-party appraisals to determine a forced or orderly liquidation value for each aircraft
and engine type. These realization estimates are also based on factors such as the number
of aircraft and engines anticipated to be in the market, the demand for a particular
aircraft type, and age and costs of replacement. The Liquidation Analyses assume that the
return of all of the aircraft in the Debtors fleet into the market will further reduce
expected liquidation proceeds on account of such aircraft.
The Liquidation Analyses assume that the liquidation proceeds from the encumbered/mortgaged
aircraft in Uniteds and Air Wisconsins respective fleets would be exceeded by the
outstanding debt obligations on such aircraft. The Liquidation Analyses thus assume that
the Trustee will abandon Uniteds and Air Wisconsins encumbered aircraft, because the
Debtors estates would not receive any proceeds or other value from such encumbered
aircraft. The Liquidation Analyses assume that the Trustee will return all leased aircraft
to the relevant lessors rather than attempt to assign the leases to third parties.
Therefore, the Liquidation Analyses assume no realization on account of aircraft leasehold
improvements. Deficiency claims arising out of the Trustees abandonment of mortgaged
aircraft and rejection of aircraft leases is reflected in Line Item 22 below (Other
Unsecured Claims).
The Liquidation Analyses assume that any cash deposits with aircraft lenders or lessors
will be offset against such parties claims in connection with relevant aircraft. The
Liquidation Analyses further assume that any Flight Equipment-related claim that is not
completely satisfied by the value of any underlying collateral or deposits will result in
an unsecured aircraft deficiency Claim reflected in Line Item 22 (Other Unsecured
Claims).5 The Liquidation Analyses assume that any prepayments associated with
contracts for future aircraft purchases will be offset against the corresponding alleged
claims asserted by the manufacturers for the rejection of such commitments. The
Liquidation Analyses account for all airframes and engines no longer in operation as Other
Assets (Line Item 11), not as Flight Equipment.
9. |
|
Other Property and Equipment. Other Property and Equipment includes land, buildings, ground
equipment, flight simulators, miscellaneous other equipment (including furniture, fixtures and
office equipment), leasehold improvements on ground equipment, and leasehold improvements on
real property. |
The Liquidation Analyses rely on the Debtors extensive industry knowledge and third party
appraisals to determine realization rates for these assets. In general,
|
|
|
5 |
|
See 11 U.S.C. § 506(a) (bifurcating
claims into secured and unsecured portions based on a valuation of collateral). |
7
the Debtors have based their estimation of realization rates for Other Property and
Equipment on third-party appraisals. Realization on account of land and buildings, ground
equipment, and flight simulators is estimated to be between 32% and 90% of fair market
value and is based on factors such as service date, age, useful life, marketability,
demand, and recent market transactions. The remaining property and equipment is comprised
primarily of computer and office equipment for which an appraisal has not been performed
due to the cost of performing such analyses. Based on factors such as service date, age,
and useful life of the equipment, the Liquidation Analyses assume a realization range of
10% to 20% of net book value for this miscellaneous equipment. The Liquidation Analyses
assume that all of Uniteds facility and equipment leases would be rejected, resulting in
no net realization on account of leasehold improvements.
10. |
|
Intangible Assets. Intangible Assets include gates, arrival/departure slots, foreign route
authorities, customer databases, tradenames, and trademarks. The Liquidation Analyses rely on
the Debtors extensive industry knowledge and third-party appraisals to determine the
aggregate realization for customer databases and trade names. In particular, the Liquidation
Analyses assume, based on a third-party appraisal, that the MileagePlus customer list has a
recoverable value of $75 million in a liquidation. The Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses
assume the MileagePlus customer list is solely an asset of ULS and thus assigns such value to
ULSs estate. Given that the MileagePlus customer list was developed by ULS, there is no net
book value on ULSs books and records as of June 30, 2005 for this asset, resulting in
significant recovery percentages for this Line Item in the ULS Non-Consolidated Liquidation
Analysis. |
The Liquidation Analyses base the value of foreign route authorities and arrival/departure
slots at Dulles, John F. Kennedy, and LaGuardia airports on factors such as location, time
(peak versus non-peak), and usage (jet versus commuter). The Liquidation Analyses rely on
the Debtors extensive industry knowledge and third party appraisals to determine a range
of realization rates on account of slots and foreign route authorities. The Liquidation
Analyses estimate realization on account of arrival and departure slots at between 85% and
100% of recent fair market value estimates. The Liquidation Analyses estimate realization
on account of foreign route authorities, including any applicable gate value, at 65% of
fair market value. The net book values as of June 30, 2005 for the Debtors gates, slots,
and foreign route authorities account only for those gates and slots the Debtors have
acquired, net of amortization. As a result of this low net book value, significant
recovery percentages are reflected for these assets in the Liquidation Analyses. The
Liquidation Analyses do not assume any recovery on gate leases based on limited demand and
marketability of such assets, which, generally may not be sold individually under their
relevant leases. In addition, those gates for which the Debtors pay below-market lease
rates are generally located at less-traveled airports and thus would only provide a de
minimis recovery in a liquidation scenario.
11. |
|
Investments and Other Assets. Investments and Other Assets primarily consist of the Debtors
investments in certain joint ventures, long-term restricted cash,
|
8
capitalized software costs, non-operating property, deferred compensation, and
miscellaneous investments. The long-term restricted cash includes a fuel supply agreement
deposit and various escrow accounts for the payment of passenger facility charges, taxes,
and other fiduciary obligations. Other assets also include construction fund deposits with
airport authorities related to certain municipal bond obligations.
The Debtors books and records reflect only a limited net book value for the Debtors
investments in various joint ventures due to such investments lack of marketability and
minority interest discounts. The Liquidation Analyses assume 100% realization of these
investments to be consistent with the valuation in the Debtors books and records. In the
United Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analysis and the Consolidated Liquidation Analysis,
long-term restricted cash escrowed under that certain Bankruptcy Court Order dated December
11, 2002 Authorizing the Assumption of a Certain Escrow Agreement [Docket No. 237] on
account of certain federal, state, and local trust fund tax liabilities is assumed offset
by such liabilities and is thus not reflected in the Debtors realization of assets for
this Line Item. The Liquidation Analyses assume that the Trustee will prevail in
outstanding municipal bond recharacterization litigation and thus will fully realize
long-term restricted cash escrowed for postpetition municipal bond interest. The
Liquidation Analyses also assume that capitalized software costs have no realization value.
In addition, recoveries on account of non-operating property is consistent with net book
values based on factors such as service date, age of equipment, useful life, marketability,
and demand for the product.
12. |
|
Preference and Avoidance Payment Recovery. Having operated in Chapter 11 for more than two
and a half years, the Debtors have substantially completed their recovery of preferential
transfers. For the most part, preferential recoveries have been converted to Cash and are
reflected in Line Item 1 in the Liquidation Analyses. As of June 30, 2005, only approximately
$8 million remained to be collected on account of preferences and other avoidance actions. As
of July 31, 2005, the Debtors already recovered over $7 million of this balance. The Debtors
estimate a nominal recovery of less than $1 million with respect to pending preference
actions. In the Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses, United is the only debtor for which a
preference recovery is reflected. |
Liquidation Costs
13. |
|
Trustee Fees. Trustee Fees include all fees to be paid for the Chapter 7 Trustees services
in a liquidation in accordance with the fee structure under Section 326 of the Bankruptcy
Code. Based on certain benchmarks derived from the Debtors analysis of such rates in other
mega-Chapter 11 cases, the Liquidation Analyses generally allocate Trustee Fees to each of the
Debtors at a rate of approximately 3.0% of estimated liquidation proceeds, excluding Cash and
any of the Debtors recovery on Intercompany Receivables. However, based on the same
benchmarks, Trustee Fees are slightly discounted to 2.2% of estimated liquidation proceeds,
excluding Cash and Intercompany Receivables, in the United Non-Consolidated Analysis and the
Consolidated Liquidation Analysis. |
9
14. |
|
Counsel for the Trustee and Related Professional Fees. Counsel for the Trustee and Related
Professional Fees include an estimate of fees and expenses incurred by the Trustees legal and
other professionals associated with, among other things, liquidation and realization of
assets, the wind-down of the Debtors Estates, and Claims reconciliation. In the Consolidated
Liquidation Analysis and the United Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analysis, Counsel for the
Trustee and Related Professional Fees are assumed to be 1.6% of the estimated liquidation
proceeds, excluding Cash and Intercompany Receivables, based on certain benchmarks derived
from the Debtors analysis of such rates in other mega-Chapter 11 cases. Based on the same
benchmarks, all other Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses ascribe a rate of 1.7-2.3% of the
estimated liquidation proceeds, excluding Cash and Intercompany Receivables, to account for
Counsel for the Trustee and Related Professional Fees. |
15. |
|
Wind-Down Fees. Wind-Down Fees include expenses incurred during the Wind-Down Period and
primarily relate to the storage and transportation of owned aircraft and flight equipment,
auction fees, employee wages and benefits for personnel employed during the Wind-Down Period
and general overhead costs. In determining Wind-Down Fees related to employee wages and
benefits, the Liquidation Analyses account for certain reductions in workforce and payment of
stay bonuses at various intervals of the Wind-Down Period. |
Claims
16. |
|
Super-Priority Administrative Claims. Super-Priority Administrative Claims include any
Claims entitled to super-priority administrative expense claim status, other than the DIP
Facility Claim, including postpetition Intercompany Claims. The Consolidated Liquidation
Analysis assumes that there is no realization on account of any Intercompany Claims, including
Super-Priority Administrative Claims, because consolidation of the Debtors Estates ignores
intercompany transactions. |
As discussed above in Note 5, the Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses assume that once
the Debtors determine their recovery on all other Assets, they then will account for any
realization from Intercompany Receivables. Thus, in the Non-Consolidated Liquidation
Analyses, Line Item 16 illustrates the recovery from each particular Debtors postpetition
Intercompany Receivables and the distributions that each particular Debtor must make for
any postpetition Intercompany Claims. Thus, to the extent postpetition Intercompany
Receivables exceed postpetition Intercompany Claims, the relevant Non-Consolidated
Liquidation Analysis reflects an increase in proceeds available for creditors. On the
other hand, to the extent postpetition Intercompany Claims exceed postpetition Intercompany
Receivables, the relevant Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analysis reflects a decrease in
proceeds available for creditors.
The United and ULS Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses reflect ULSs assertion of a $242
million Super-Priority Administrative Claim against United pursuant to the Courts Order
Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363 Authorizing Sale of
10
Orbitz Stock Free and Clear of Liens, Claims and Encumbrances dated October 31, 2003
[Docket No. 4394].
17. |
|
Secured Claims. Secured Claims include certain Secured Claims relating to Aircraft
Equipment, but only to the extent of the value of the underlying collateral. In general, the
allowed Secured Claim for any encumbered Aircraft Equipment is assumed to be equal to the
liquidation proceeds realized from the sale of underlying aircraft collateral. Upon
repossession and liquidation of such Aircraft Equipment, the secured creditors only remaining
Claim against the Debtors Estates will be an unsecured deficiency claim for any shortfall
from the sale of such collateral reflected in Line Item 22 (Other Unsecured Claims). See 11
U.S.C. § 506(a). |
18. |
|
Administrative Claims. Administrative Claims include Allowed Claims entitled to
administrative expense priority under Section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code. Significant types
of Administrative Claims include estimated unpaid post-petition employee wages and benefits,
trade payables, environmental clean-up costs, accrued aircraft rent and interest, taxes,
reclamation claims, claims arising under Postpetition Aircraft Agreements, the PBGC
Administrative Claims (defined below), and damages under assumed or postpetition contracts and
leases that the Trustee subsequently rejects or terminates. |
The Liquidation Analyses assume that PBGC will assert joint and several claims for
administrative priority based respectively on: (i) PBGCs unfunded benefit liability
claims, which under that certain Stipulation and Agreed Order Under Fed. R. Bank. P. 9019
Approving the Settlement of Controversy Between the Debtors and the United States of
America [Adv. Pro. No. 03-A-00652, Docket No. 7] would be entitled to an administrative
priority up to $366 million, and (ii) PBGCs claims for the Debtors missed minimum funding
contributions attributable to services provided by employees postpetition (collectively,
the PBGC Administrative Claims). The Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses assume that
PBGC first will net against its PBGC Administrative Claims any recovery from all Debtors
other than United and ULS, because these Debtors have few administrative creditors and PBGC
will receive a higher allocation of proceeds available for administrative creditors by
proceeding in this manner. After accounting for PBGCs recovery from all Debtors other
than United and ULS, the Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses assume that ULS, as an
administratively solvent Debtor, satisfies the remainder of the PBGC Administrative Claims.
The Liquidation Analyses assume that all assumed or postpetition executory contracts and
unexpired leases are rejected by the Trustee, resulting in administrative claims based on
breach of such contracts and leases. The Liquidation Analyses reflect that the following
assumed and postpetition leases and contracts will generate significant administrative
claim liabilities: those certain non-residential real property leases for Denver
International Airport (the Denver Lease), Newark International Airport (the Newark
Lease), San
11
Francisco International Airport (the San Francisco Lease), Metropolitan Washington
Airport Authority (the Dulles / Reagan Leases); those certain Mileage Plus frequent flyer
agreements with Bank One, N.A. (the Mileage Plus Contracts); and those certain Star
Alliance Contracts and Code Share Agreements with US Airways (the Star Alliance and Code
Share Agreements); and several Postpetition Aircraft Agreements.
Breach of contract damages associated with the Trustees repudiation of the Denver Lease,
the Newark Lease, the San Francisco Lease, and Dulles / Reagan Leases (after accounting for
mitigation) are currently estimated at $1.5 billion, but could be significantly higher
based on annual rental payments under the outstanding term of the leases. Breach of
contract damages associated with the MileagePlus Contracts currently are estimated at $700
million, plus an additional $336 million based on net prepaid miles. The Non-Consolidated
Liquidation Analyses assume that damages associated with the Trustees rejection of the
MileagePlus Contracts will be asserted against United and ULS (each of which is liable
thereunder) to ensure full recovery of these administrative claims. Breach of contract
damages associated with the Trustees repudiation of the Debtors Star Alliance and Code
Share Agreements total approximately $65 million. The Liquidation Analyses currently
estimate approximately $89 million in other breach of contract damages arising from the
Trustees repudiation of other assumed and postpetition contracts and leases, including a
services contract with Pratt & Whitney. However, the Liquidation Analyses do not take into
account potential administrative claims for damages resulting from the Trustees breach of
certain other postpetition contracts entered into by the Debtors in the ordinary course of
their business during the pendency of these Chapter 11 Cases. Breach of these postpetition
agreements would increase the amount of administrative claims in a Chapter 7 liquidation.
The Liquidation Analyses also assume that the Trustee will have to satisfy administrative
claims on account of environmental clean-up costs at certain facilities at which the
Debtors have operated since the Petition Date.
The Liquidation Analyses do not take into account the administrative and other claims
asserted by certain aircraft lessors under sections 503, 507, 365(d)(10), and 1110(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code. If these aircraft lessors prevailed in litigation involving such
claims, the estimate of administrative claims could increase by several hundred million
dollars.
19. |
|
Priority Claims. Priority Claims include state tax Claims in the aggregate amount of
approximately $57 million against United, as estimated by the Debtors. The Liquidation
Analyses do not contain any estimate for any priority wage-related claims because those claims
have been satisfied pursuant to the authority granted the Debtors under the Order (A)
Authorizing but not Directing the Debtors to Continue to Pay Wages, Salaries and Other
Compensation in the Ordinary Course of Business Including the Payment of Prepetition
Obligations and (B) Authorizing but not Directing the Debtors to Continue to Maintain Their
Benefit Programs in the Ordinary Course of Business Including the Payment of
|
12
Prepetition Obligations and (C) Authorizing and Directing Applicable Banks and Other
Financial Institutions to Receive, Process, Honor and Pay All Checks Presented for Payment
and to Honor All Funds Transfer Requests Made by the Debtors Relating to the Foregoing
[Docket No. 149].
20. |
|
PBGC Unsecured Claims. The Liquidation Analyses assume that PBGC would assert a $9.9
billion, joint and several claim against all of the Debtors in a liquidation based on
application of the discount rate set forth in PBGCs regulations for determining the unfunded
status of a terminated defined benefit pension plan.6 Although the unsecured
Claims of PBGC for termination of the Debtors defined benefit pension plans are listed as a
separate line item in the Liquidation Analyses, they are afforded the same priority as are
other unsecured Claims. |
21. |
|
Intercompany Unsecured Claims. Intercompany Unsecured Claims include all prepetition
Intercompany Claims against any of the Debtors. The Consolidated Liquidation Analysis ignores
Intercompany Unsecured Claims because consolidation results in the combination of all assets
and liabilities of the Debtors. In the Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses, all
pre-petition intercompany activity, net of offsets, is treated as an unsecured claim for which
there is no recovery in a liquidation scenario, except for the case of ULS. |
In addition, the Liquidation Analyses assume that the prepetition Claims of Non-Debtor
Affiliates will not be asserted in a Chapter 7 Liquidation, because there will be no
recovery on unsecured Claims against the Debtors in a liquidation scenario. Moreover, with
PBGC asserting liens and claims against the Non-Debtor Affiliates on account of the
Debtors terminated pension plans, any recovery that the Non-Debtor Affiliates might obtain
would simply revert to PBGC. In the UAL Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analysis,
Intercompany Claims against UAL are subordinate to all other Unsecured Claims and rank pari
passu with TOPrS Claims (as defined and discussed in Line Item 23).
22. |
|
Other Unsecured Claims. Significant additional Unsecured Claims include aircraft deficiency
and lease rejection Claims, prepetition trade payables, non-residential lease and executory
contract rejection claims, and Claims in a Chapter 7 liquidation on account of the Section
1113 Restructuring Agreements. Significant Other Unsecured Claims consist primarily of
certain UALs guarantees of municipal bond and aircraft-related obligations of United and Air
Wisconsin, Inc. |

See In re U.S. Airways Group, Inc., 303 B.R.
784 (Bankr. E.D. Va. 2003) (applying discount rate provided for in PBGC
regulations to determine unfunded status of terminated defined benefit pension
plan); but see In re CSC Indus., Inc., 232 F.3d 505 (6th Cir. 2001) (applying
prudent investor rate to value unfunded status of terminated plan); In re CF&I
Fabricators of Utah, Inc., 150 F.3d 1293 (10th Cir. 1998) (same). Application
of the prudent investor discount rate would not affect the
recovery of Holders of Unsecured Claims in the Consolidated Liquidation
Analysis, and would only affect the recovery of Holders of Unsecured Claims
against ULS in the Non-Consolidated Liquidation Analyses. |

23. |
|
Trust Originated Preferred Securities (TOPrS) Claims. TOPrS Claims arise from UALs
guarantee of the TOPrS Preferred Securities or the 13.25% Junior Subordinated Debenture.
TOPrS Claims are subordinate to general unsecured Claims. In the Non-Consolidated Liquidation
Analysis, the TOPrS Claims are asserted against only UAL and rank pari passu with any
Intercompany claims against UAL. |

The Comparable Companies Analysis provides insight into how the public markets value
comparable businesses with similar industry and growth profiles to UAL
For UAL, this analysis is inherently challenged given the dramatic conditions facing the industry, which
include a host of factors some of which are set forth below
Post 9/11 operating environment
Fuel price volatility
Burdensome legacy costs and pension liabilities
Continued growth of internet ticket purchases resulting in increased pricing pressures
Fiercely competitive environment due to industry overcapacity and LCC penetration
Widespread financial distress among North American NCs
Based on these factors, Rothschild considered a range of companies in its Comparable Companies
Analysis
North American NCs, including both current and historical multiples(1)
Domestic LCCs
Selected international carriers
2.1 Summary overview
2. Comparable Companies Analysis
Comparable Companies Analysis
Notes
(1) For purposes of comparable valuation, current network carriers are focused on American, Continental and Air Canada
|
Rothschild ultimately incorporated the network carriers' current and historical market multiples into the
Comparable Companies Analysis, with the preponderance of its weighting on the current market multiples of
the NCs
LCCs and selected international carriers were excluded from the Comparable Companies Analysis due to
their vastly different business models
2.1 Summary overview (cont'd)
2. Comparable Companies Analysis

3.1 Precedent Transactions Analysis overview
3. Precedent Transactions Analysis
The Precedent Transaction Analysis provides a valuation range based on analysis of M&A and
recapitalization transactions that have similar risks and opportunities as United
For the purposes of valuing United, Rothschild focused on 11 change of control transactions for domestic and
international carriers with Total Enterprise Values in excess of $600 million
The precedent transactions analysis implies a TEV range for UAL of $11.8 billion to $13.4, with a
midpoint value of $12.6

4.1 Discounted cash flow analysis overview
DCF analysis implies total enterprise value of $13.3 - $15.7 billion (1)
4. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
The DCF analysis values the Company's business plan by discounting future cash flows at a rate
reflecting the company-specific risk factors and an assumed time value of money
Based on projected cash flows through December 31, 2010 per Gershwin 6.0, the Debtor's current business plan
Cash flows potentially impacted by
General macroeconomic conditions
Disruptive industry forces
Successful reorganization / capitalization of UAL for its exit from Chapter 11
The projections are discounted to November 30, 2005, the assumed confirmation date, using a discount rate equal to
the weighted average cost of capital (the "WACC") ranging from 8.0% to 9.0% which considers the weighted average
of the marginal costs of all sources of capital
8.0% to 9.0% is generally consistent with the historic WACC for peers in the airline industry
Terminal value calculated using the perpetuity growth methodology
Assumes a rate of growth of free cash flows in perpetuity with capital expenditures adjusted to reflect normalized
long-term aircraft related capital spending requirements
Assumed perpetuity growth rates of 0.0%, 1.0% and 2.0%, brought back to present value as of November 30,
2005 using a discount rate of between 8.0% - 9.0% as discussed above
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Notes
Utilizing an 8.5% discount rate and perpetuity growth rates of 0.0%, 1.0% and 2.0%
|
Since an NOL provides a tax shield on future earnings, its value is typically reflected in the equity
of an enterprise. Rothschild's NOL valuation reflects the present value of the savings achieved by
the pre-tax income shielded by the loss carry forward
Rothschild relied on the following assumptions in valuing the NOL(1)
UAL estimates NOL of approximately $7.5 billion as of December 1, 2005 (2)
Based on tax planning assumptions and pursuant to Section 382 (l)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC")
and other relevant IRS notifications, the Company has projected that its average limitation approximates $1.2
billion per annum (3)
37.3% effective tax rate as per Gershwin 6.0, the Debtor's current business plan
The discount rate assumption of 20-30% is the adjusted cost of equity based on NOL application after interest
expense deductions
Rothschild's analysis suggests a range of value for the Company's NOL of $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion
For purpose of calculating Total Equity Value, Rothschild relied on a $1.1 billion valuation of UAL's NOL, as it
represents the high end of the discount range (30%), thereby accounting for potentially disqualifying future
changes of control and changes in the IRC
5. Preliminary NOL Valuation
5.1 NOL valuation summary
Preliminary NOL Valuation
Notes
UAL and its tax advisors continue to refine the assumptions regarding the NOL and its treatment; assumptions are subject to change
Assumed exit date in G6.0, the Debtor's current business plan
For illustrative purposes only, the amount shown here is the average over the projection period. Per management estimates, the period adjusted Section 382 NOL limitation
from 2006 - 2010P is estimated in the millions to be $741, $1,841, $1,441, $1,141 and $941 respectively

Appendix D
NOTES TO FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS
These Notes should be read in conjunction with the Plan, Disclosure Statement and Plan
Supplement in their entirety.1 Attached is a Projected Income Statement, Projected
Balance Sheet and a Projected Cash Flow Statement, each of which include the following: (a) the
Debtors consolidated financial statement information for the period December 2002 through December
2004; (b) six months of actual results (January through June) and six months of projected results
(July through December) for 2005; and (c) consolidated projected operating and financial results
(the Projections) for the Reorganized Debtors five year post-Effective Date period from 2006
through 2010 (the Projection Period).2 Also attached is a Projected Fresh Start Balance
Sheet reflecting, in accordance with fresh start reporting, the assumed effect of Confirmation and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan on the presumed Effective Date.
THE PROJECTIONS HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY THE DEBTORS MANAGEMENT WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THEIR
FINANCIAL ADVISORS, ROTHSCHILD AND HURON CONSULTING. SUCH PROJECTIONS WERE NOT PREPARED TO COMPLY
WITH THE GUIDELINES FOR PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THE DEBTORS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS HAVE NEITHER EXAMINED NOR COMPILED THE
ACCOMPANYING PROJECTIONS AND ACCORDINGLY, DO NOT EXPRESS AN OPINION OR ANY OTHER FORM OF ASSURANCE
WITH RESPECT TO THE PROJECTIONS, ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROJECTIONS AND DISCLAIM ANY
ASSOCIATION WITH THE PROJECTIONS. EXCEPT FOR PURPOSES OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE DEBTORS DO
NOT PUBLISH PROJECTIONS OF THEIR ANTICIPATED FINANCIAL POSITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
MOREOVER, THE PROJECTIONS CONTAIN CERTAIN STATEMENTS THAT ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995. THESE STATEMENTS ARE
SUBJECT TO A NUMBER OF ASSUMPTIONS, RISKS, AND UNCERTAINTIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL
OF THE DEBTORS, INCLUDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN, THE CONTINUING AVAILABILITY OF SUFFICIENT
BORROWING CAPACITY OR OTHER FINANCING TO FUND OPERATIONS, ACHIEVING OPERATING EFFICIENCIES,
CURRENCY EXCHANGE

|
Because the Projections assume an Effective Date of
February 1, 2006, the Projections for 2006 include one month of projected
results for the Debtors (January) and 11 months of projected results for
Reorganized Debtors (February through December). |
RATE FLUCTUATIONS, MAINTAINING GOOD EMPLOYEE RELATIONS, EXISTING AND FUTURE GOVERNMENTAL
REGULATIONS AND ACTIONS OF GOVERNMENTAL BODIES, NATURAL DISASTERS AND UNUSUAL WEATHER CONDITIONS,
ACTS OF TERRORISM OR WAR, INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS (AS DETAILED IN ARTICLE VI OF THE
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ENTITLED CERTAIN FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED PRIOR TO VOTING) AND OTHER MARKET

SPEAK AS OF THE DATE MADE AND ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. ACTUAL RESULTS OR
DEVELOPMENTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE EXPECTATIONS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IN THE
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, AND THE DEBTORS UNDERTAKE NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE ANY SUCH STATEMENTS.
THE PROJECTIONS, WHILE PRESENTED WITH NUMERICAL SPECIFICITY, ARE NECESSARILY BASED ON A
VARIETY OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS WHICH, THOUGH CONSIDERED REASONABLE BY THE DEBTORS, MAY NOT BE
REALIZED AND ARE INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS, ECONOMIC, COMPETITIVE, INDUSTRY,
REGULATORY, MARKET AND FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE
REORGANIZED DEBTORS CONTROL. THE DEBTORS CAUTION THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS CAN BE MADE OR ARE MADE
AS TO THE ACCURACY OF THE PROJECTIONS OR TO THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS ABILITY TO ACHIEVE THE
PROJECTED RESULTS. SOME ASSUMPTIONS INEVITABLY WILL BE INCORRECT. MOREOVER, EVENTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES OCCURRING SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE ON WHICH THESE PROJECTIONS WERE PREPARED MAY BE
DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ASSUMED, OR, ALTERNATIVELY, MAY HAVE BEEN UNANTICIPATED, AND THUS THE
OCCURRENCE OF THESE EVENTS MAY AFFECT FINANCIAL RESULTS IN A MATERIALLY ADVERSE OR MATERIALLY
BENEFICIAL MANNER. THE DEBTORS AND REORGANIZED DEBTORS DO NOT INTEND AND UNDERTAKE NO OBLIGATION
TO UPDATE OR OTHERWISE REVISE THE PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING OR
ARISING AFTER THE DATE THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS INITIALLY FILED OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF
UNANTICIPATED EVENTS. THE PROJECTIONS THEREFORE, MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON AS A GUARANTY OR OTHER
ASSURANCE OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS THAT WILL OCCUR. IN DECIDING WHETHER TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT
THE PLAN, HOLDERS OF CLAIMS OR INTERESTS MUST MAKE THEIR OWN DETERMINATIONS AS TO THE
REASONABLENESS OF SUCH ASSUMPTIONS AND THE RELIABILITY OF THE PROJECTIONS. (SEE, ARTICLE VI OF THE
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, CERTAIN FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED PRIOR TO VOTING.)
The Projections have been prepared on the assumption that the Effective Date is February 1,
2006, and are based on, and assume the successful implementation of the Reorganized Debtors
business plan. Although the Debtors presently intend to cause the Effective Date to occur as soon
as practical following confirmation of the Plan, there can be no assurance as to when the Effective
Date will actually occur. In accordance with fresh start reporting, the
2
Projections reflect the assets and liabilities of the Debtors as of the Effective Date, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are based upon their estimated fair
market values.
The Projections are based on, among other things: (a) current and projected market conditions
in each of the Debtors respective markets; (b) the ability to maintain sufficient working capital
to fund operations; (c) termination of all four defined benefit pension plans; (d) final approval
of the New Credit Facility; (e) Bankruptcy Court approval of material changes to certain aircraft
lease and financing agreements as discussed below; and (f) confirmation of the Plan.
The Projections include consolidated results for the Debtors domestic and international
operations (collectively, Mainline), United Express, and ancillary activities. The Debtors
international operations include destinations in the Pacific, Atlantic and Latin America markets.
The Projections assume a stable fleet of 453 mainline aircraft operated by the Debtors, and a fleet
of 300 regional jet and turboprop aircraft owned and operated by the United Express carriers by
February 2006.

Mainline Passenger Revenue per Available Seat Mile (PRASM): The primary measure of passenger unit
revenue, which is calculated by dividing Mainline Passenger Revenue generated during a relevant
period by the aggregate number of mainline ASMs produced during that same time period.
Maintenance Materials: One component of aircraft maintenance, this includes the parts and
expendable materials used during maintenance of aircraft.
3
Marketing Programs Passenger Revenue: Certain revenues recognized as Passenger Revenue (as defined
below), through the Mileage Plus Program and other ancillary marketing programs. Accounting rules
call for a portion of total Marketing Program Passenger Revenue to be recognized as Passenger
Revenue and the remainder to be recognized as Other Revenues (as discussed below).
Passenger Revenue: Passenger Revenue is the sum of Mainline Passenger Revenue and Regional
Affiliates Passenger Revenue.
Purchased Maintenance: One component of aircraft maintenance, this includes outsourced maintenance
services purchased from domestic and international third-parties.
Regional Affiliate Expense: The Debtors United Express operation contracts with various air
carriers to provide regional feeder service, using regional jet and turboprop aircraft, to support
Uniteds mainline hub-and-spoke network. Regional Affiliate Expense includes the capacity-based
fees paid to these carriers, performance-based operating margin fees, and certain pass-through
expenses such as fuel. In addition, direct costs for distribution and labor incurred by United,
but related to United Express operations are allocated to Regional Affiliate Expense.
Projected Consolidated Income Statement Assumptions
Operating Revenues
Passenger Revenue: The Debtors anticipate total Passenger Revenue of $15.0 billion for 2005,
an increase of 4.8% over 2004, driven mostly by the Debtors strategy to shift capacity from
domestic to international markets and industry-wide fare increases. Over the Projection Period,
Passenger Revenue is projected to increase by $2.3 billion, such that Passenger Revenue in 2010 is
projected to be $17.3 billion, a compound annual growth rate of 2.8%. This increase includes a
$1.8 billion increase in Mainline Passenger Revenues and a $0.5 billion increase in Regional
Affiliates Passenger Revenues (United Express), the two components that comprise Passenger Revenue.
In 2006, the capacities for both Mainline and United Express are expected to increase 0.6% and
4.7% respectively, and remain flat thereafter.
A. Mainline Passenger Revenue
Mainline Passenger Revenue3 includes two components: (i) Core Passenger Revenue (the
primary component being revenue associated with the direct sale of transportation to consumers) and
(ii) Marketing Programs Passenger Revenue (certain revenues associated with marketing programs).

Historic Passenger Revenue in the Projected Income
Statement has been adjusted to be consistent with (i) a change in accounting
with respect to Marketing Programs Passenger Revenue, as disclosed in Item 1 of
UALs Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005
under the heading UAL Loyalty Services, LLC, and (ii) treat
charter revenues as Other Revenues in the Projections. As a
result, the individual components of Operating Revenues in the Projected
Income Statement for 2002 through 2004 do not track to the 10-Ks issued for
those years. |
4
|
(i) |
|
Core Passenger Revenues |
During the ten years from 1990 through 2000, the compound average growth rate for industry
Core Passenger Revenue per ASM was 2.1%. The Debtors believe this period is the most representative
of the industry, including rapid low cost carrier growth and both expansion and recessionary
periods. In contrast, 2001 through 2003 are not considered representative given the impacts of the
September 11th terrorist attacks, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the SARS
outbreak. The Debtors believe that continued high fuel prices will lead to industry fare increases
that would drive revenue growth above the 2.1% historic growth rate. However, the Debtors are
taking a conservative approach by basing the Projections on the historic 2.1% growth rate and not
including this fuel price effect on revenue.
In 2004, industry annual PRASM growth was 3.4%, and the Debtors outperformed the industry with
PRASM growth of 3.9%.
With the Debtors success in shifting capacity to international markets, industry fare
increases, and growth in marketing program revenue, the Debtors believe their 2005 Mainline PRASM
will increase by 5.2% over 2004 with the Core Passenger Revenue component of PRASM expected to
increase by 5.1%.
In 2006, the Debtors believe they will benefit from slower growth of their Mainline capacity,
0.6%, as compared to the expected 3.0% industry growth. The Debtors are conservatively projecting
Core Passenger Revenue per ASM growth of 2.6% approximately half the 2005 growth rate.
From 2007 through 2010, the Debtors annual Core Passenger Revenue per ASM growth rates are
expected to be at essentially the industry historic norms cited earlier (2.2% for both 2007-08 and
2.1% for 2009-10).
|
(ii) |
|
Marketing Programs Passenger Revenue |
Marketing Programs Passenger Revenue, primarily the sale of Mileage Plus miles to
third-parties (e.g. car, hotel, credit card, and other partners), is expected to grow at higher
annual rates than Core Passenger Revenue, however, it represents only a small portion of annual
Mainline Passenger Revenue during the Projection Period.
B. Regional Affiliates Passenger Revenues (United Express)
Driven by large capacity additions, United Express revenue grew by over 26% in 2004 and is on
track to grow by 23% in 2005. United Express capacity additions will slow from 22% in 2005 to 5% in
2006 and will be essentially flat from 2007 through 2010. Accordingly, United Express revenue is
expected to experience slower growth rates in 2006 and 2007. United Express year-over-year
capacity increase in 2006 is primarily driven by the replacement of a number of 50-seat regional
jets with 70-seat regional jets. United Express revenue is expected to grow by 8% in 2006, 5% in
2007, and roughly 2% from 2008 through 2010.
5
United Cargo: The Debtors provide freight and mail transportation using available cargo space
on their passenger aircraft. Revenue forecasts are developed based on volume and yield growth
assumptions for the freight and mail businesses. After optimizing these operations in 2005 and
2006, modest growth in cargo revenues is anticipated over the Projection Period, given that no
fleet/capacity growth is assumed in the Projections.
UAFC: United Aviation Fuels Corporation (UAFC) conducts certain jet fuel trading and
re-selling on behalf of United. UAFC operates on essentially a break-even basis and no growth is
anticipated over the Projection Period.
Other Revenues: The Debtors operate various lines of business related to their core scheduled
passenger service operation, including Mileage Plus, Red Carpet Clubs, in-flight sales (food,
liquor, duty-free), and the sale of maintenance, ground handling and training services and charter
operations. From 2003 to 2004, the Other Revenues grew by 11% and are on track for 11% growth in
2005. Other Revenues are projected to experience moderately higher growth of 15% in both 2006 and
2007, remain flat in 2008, and grow at 3% and 6% in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Growth forecasts
for these various operations are driven by existing contractual agreements, management expectations
for newly launched business lines, and inflationary growth.
Operating Expenses
Salaries and related costs: During the post-petition period, the Debtors renegotiated their
collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), and instituted wage and benefit reductions with respect
to salaried and management employees (SAM). The renegotiated CBAs and SAM reductions allow the
Reorganized Debtors to achieve an estimated average annual expense savings of approximately $3.2
billion during the Projection Period. These savings estimates include contractual and inflationary
cost increases that would have otherwise occurred through 2010. Labor costs are projected to be
the Debtors single largest expense, representing 27% of annual Mainline operating expenses during
the Projection Period. These expenses are forecast based on anticipated operating levels, the
impact of ongoing initiatives to improve productivity, the terms of the Debtors CBAs, and the
reductions in wages and benefits for SAM employees. During the Projection Period, average annual
wage rates are projected to increase between approximately 0% and 2.5% per year, with a compound
annual growth rate of 1.6%, in accordance with each of the respective CBAs, which have amendable
dates of December 2009 through January 2010. During the post-petition period, the Debtors also
restructured their post retirement benefits under §1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, which aligned
benefits of their older retirees with those of their more recent retirees. The Projections also
include profit sharing for all employees of up to 15% of pre-tax profits.
In addition, all of the Debtors domestic defined benefit pension plans have been, or will be,
terminated and assumed by PBGC. The Debtors have negotiated replacement defined contribution
retirement plans with all of their labor groups, with the exception of their flight attendants.
The replacement defined contribution plan expenses vary between approximately 4% and 7% annually,
of applicable wages, on average. Accruals for the defined contribution plans commence at different
points, depending on the terms of the various CBAs, starting with the pilots on June 1, 2005. The
Projections assume a defined contribution plan for the flight
6
attendants beginning February 1, 2006. The actual starting date of the contributions could be
earlier or later depending on when the AFA leadership negotiates a replacement plan, which
negotiations may impact the assumed participation by the flight attendants in the profit sharing
noted above.
Through the above restructuring efforts, the Debtors reduced total labor cost from $7 billion
in 2002 to $5 billion in 2004. By the end of 2005, the Debtors will achieve the majority of the
savings from their final round of CBA negotiations and SAM wage and benefit reductions, lowering
labor cost by another $874 million compared to 2004. In 2006 and 2007, labor cost, excluding
profit sharing, will further decrease, but to a lesser extent, reflecting full year savings from
pension termination and replacement, and additional productivity improvements. Labor cost will
begin to grow in 2008 driven by inflationary and contractual increases. The Projections also
include estimates for annual profit sharing payments from 2006 through 2010.
Aircraft Fuel: Fuel for Mainline operations is projected to be the Debtors second largest
expense. Fuel costs have increased significantly over the last eighteen months and remain highly
volatile. Recent volatility in oil prices has made efforts to forecast long-term oil costs
challenging. While the forward curve would suggest oil prices above $60 per barrel over the
Projection Period, it is inconsistent with most other forecasts, including those from PIRA Energy
Group, Global Insights (formerly WEFA), and from Wall Street sell-side oil analysts, which
forecasts suggest an average oil price during the Projection Period in the mid-$40s to $50 per
barrel (which is still above historical levels). Accordingly, the Projections assume an oil price
of $50 per barrel, as a reasonable estimate, resulting in a cost for jet fuel of $1.478 per gallon,
during the Projection Period. This estimate represents a historically high fuel cost throughout
the Projection Period. While the Debtors currently have no fuel hedges in place for 2006 and
beyond, the Projections incorporate $150 million per year in expenses for future hedging activities
to lock in as much of its fuel needs at $50 per barrel as possible.
The Debtors further believe that if long-term oil prices are significantly higher than are
contemplated today, they will drive industry fare increases or structural changes, such as capacity
reductions. Reported hedge positions, as stated by the domestic carriers in August 2005, show that
U.S. carriers have, in the aggregate, less than 10% of their collective 2006 capacity hedged for
oil prices above $50 per barrel. Carriers have stated that sustained high oil prices will cause the
industry to raise fares as is occurring in 2005. The Debtors believe that the reorganized
operations will allow the Reorganized Debtors to be fully competitive with the major network
carriers in the face of higher fuel prices.
Aircraft Rent: Aircraft Rent reflects the operating expense associated with the Debtors
aircraft financed under operating leases. In addition, the Debtors operate various aircraft under
debt financing and capital lease structures. Expenses related to these aircraft are reflected in
depreciation and interest expense, which includes debt discount amortization, where applicable.
During the post-petition period, the Debtors reduced their aircraft related obligations by
rejecting certain aircraft leases, abandoning certain mortgaged aircraft, and renegotiating
restructured aircraft obligations for the retained aircraft.
Regarding privately held aircraft financing transactions, the Debtors have successfully
restructured all of their obligations by: (a) modifying existing lease agreements, (b) entering
into
7
new aircraft lease agreements, or (c) converting mortgages to leases. Monthly rental rates
included in the Projections for the Projection Period represent a significant reduction in the
pre-negotiated contract rates and are comparable with current market rates.
With respect to publicly held aircraft financing transactions (including various debt, capital
lease and operating lease structures), the Debtors have completed negotiations and reached
agreements-in-principle with the holders of all public aircraft debt except the 1997-1 Enhanced
Equipment Trust Certificate Transaction (1997-1 EETC Transaction). The agreements-in-principle
are subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors have filed a motion seeking Court
approval, which motion will be heard on September 27. The agreements-in-principle include the
purchase of six B767s for which the debtors are negotiating refinancing in the form of a
sale-leaseback transaction, similar to four B767s previously acquired in July 2005. The
Projections incorporate the annual impact of the agreements-in-principle.
With respect to the 1997-1 EETC Transaction, which covers 14 aircraft, the Debtors are
currently negotiating the purchase price of the A certificates, having already purchased the B & C
certificates. If the Debtors are unable to negotiate the purchase price, they expect to reach a
litigated resolution. Upon acquiring the A certificates, the Debtors anticipate refinancing the 14
aircraft securing the 1997-1 EETC Transaction.
Amortization of deferred gains reduced rent expense by approximately $115 million in 2004 and
an estimated $72 million in 2005, however, as a result of fresh start reporting, deferred gains on
various historic sale-leaseback transactions are eliminated during the Projection Period. In
addition, fresh start reporting also requires that the Debtors operating leases be recorded at
fair value. This results in the creation of a deferred asset to be amortized over the remaining
life of the effected operating leases, increasing aircraft rent over the Projection Period by an
aggregate $43 million on a non-cash basis.
Landing Fees and Other Rent: The Debtors lease various airport and non-airport facilities for
which they incur rent expenses and municipal bond servicing costs. The Projections reflect savings
resulting from the planned restructuring of various municipal bond obligations and the Debtors
ongoing efforts to optimize their use of real estate. In addition, the Debtors currently are
seeking to re-characterize certain municipal bond obligations as debt financings rather than
leases, which would allow the Debtors to classify certain portions of such obligations as unsecured
debt in the Plan. However, the Projections conservatively assume that the municipal bond
obligations will be treated as leases and not be re-characterized as debt financings. Landing fees
are incurred as a function of arrivals/departures, aircraft weight, and rates established by the
various airports served by United. The Projections anticipate a 5.2% average annual increase in
landing fees during the Projection Period as a result of expected increases in rates charged by the
various airports served by the Debtors.
Aircraft Maintenance: The Debtors current restructured CBAs have enabled the Debtors to
outsource all heavy airframe maintenance, low-tech component piece parts and certain engine
maintenance activities. Outsourcing of these non-core maintenance activities drives significant
operating expense savings over the Projection Period as compared to expected costs absent such
outsourcing. Although reported aircraft maintenance expense (which includes only Maintenance
Material and Purchased Maintenance) increased from $560 million in 2002 to
8
an estimated $873 million in 2005, the Debtors achieved significant savings in maintenance
labor and other expenses, and reduced maintenance headcount by over 5,800 or 45% by July 2005.
Beyond 2005, inflationary price increases, additional outsourcing activities allowed by the CBAs,
and incremental maintenance requirements drive increases in aggregate Maintenance Materials and
Purchased Maintenance expenses over the Projection Period. Year-to-year changes over this period
also occur as a result of fluctuations in the volume of required maintenance.
Regional Affiliates Expenses: Expenses incurred by the Debtors for their independent regional
carriers includes a base fee, a performance adjusted margin, and certain pass through expenses
including fuel. The base fee is calculated based on contractual rates per various unit measures of
capacity. In addition, certain distribution and direct labor costs incurred by the Debtors are
allocated to Regional Affiliates Expenses.
The Debtors have extensively restructured their contractual agreements with their regional
carriers during the post-petition period, reducing the associated fees, limiting fee growth, and
optimizing the fleet. The Debtors management believes that, as a result, the Debtors have among
the most favorable regional affiliate contracts in the industry. In addition, increasing the size
of the 70-seat regional jet fleet will improve the unit cost profile. Given these contracts and
the assumed fuel environment discussed above, the Debtors project Regional Affiliates Expenses to
remain below the expense forecast for 2005 throughout the Projection Period. Coupled with growth
in United Express revenues, contribution from these operations is forecast to improve during the
Projection Period. The Debtors have forecast an $85 million contribution from United Express by
2010, as compared to a negative $448 million contribution in 2005.
Depreciation and Amortization: The Projections include depreciation on a straight-line basis
over the estimated remaining useful life of the fixed assets. The estimated remaining useful life
varies between less than one year and over twenty-seven years depending on the specific fixed
asset. As discussed below, the Debtors have a variety of intangible assets for which they
recognize amortization expense in the Projections. No amortization expense is recognized in the
Projections with respect to intangible assets with an indefinite life. These amounts of
depreciation and amortization expenses are based upon the estimated fair values of these assets
reflecting the impact of the adoption of fresh start reporting on the Effective Date, as discussed
below. The adoption of fresh start reporting causes these non-cash expenses to decrease by a net
$54 million annually, on average, over the Projection Period. In addition, the Projections also
reflect the impact of increasing capital spending over the Projection Period.
UAFC: These expenses reflect the pass through nature of the remaining UAFC activities and
are forecast to remain essentially flat over the Projection Period along with the associated
revenues. Because these expenses are unrelated to generating Debtors operating capacity, they are
excluded from the Debtors calculation of unit cost measures.
9
Other Expenses: Other Expenses are comprised of selling food and beverage, communications,
utilities, and purchased services expenses. In addition, expenses associated with providing
services to third parties (i.e. maintenance, ground handling and training services), as well as
other ancillary businesses such as the Red Carpet Clubs, are included in Other Expenses. These
expenses tend to vary with the size of the related activities and inflation. However, as a result
of the Debtors ongoing cost control efforts, aggregate Other Expenses are forecast to increase at
a lower rate than inflation during the Projection Period. As part of these ongoing cost control
efforts, management believes significant benefits will be derived throughout Uniteds operations by
reducing aircraft turn times, reducing actual block time performance, expanded de-peaking of hubs
and major stations, and reengineering the use of airport facilities.
Income Taxes: The Debtors assume a statutory tax rate of 37% throughout the Projection
Period. The Debtors anticipate approximately $8.1 billion of net operating loss carry-forwards
(NOLs) as of the Effective Date available for use by the Reorganized Debtors during the
Projection Period. The Projections assume utilization of these NOLs, subject to statutory
limitations, significantly reducing the Debtors cash burden with respect to the payment of income
taxes. Application of alternative minimum tax requirements results in minor cash tax payments
during the Projection Period.
Projected Consolidated Balance Sheet Assumptions
Working Capital: Working capital is comprised of restricted cash, receivables, aircraft fuel,
spare parts, supplies, accrued and prepaid assets, accounts payable, advance ticket sales and other
accrued liabilities. Working capital balances are impacted by Plan transactions as highlighted on
the Projected Fresh Start Balance Sheet. Further, the Debtors are currently negotiating a
replacement merchant agreement for Visa and MasterCard processing to replace their current
agreement, which expires in January 2006, and have included anticipated holdback requirements in
the Projections as restricted cash. Otherwise, working capital balances are generally consistent
with historical levels.
Operating property and equipment: The Projections include a $2.4 billion reduction in the
value of these fixed assets as a result of fresh start reporting, as highlighted in the Projected
Fresh Start Balance Sheet. Although the Projections assume that the Debtors will not acquire
additional aircraft, the Projections anticipate capital expenditures of between $400 million and
$850 million per year in order to support the Debtors operations. Key areas for investment
include spare parts and engines, facilities, information technology, aircraft improvements,
maintenance equipment, and ground support equipment.
Intangible Assets: The Debtors own certain international route authorities, as well as other
identified intangible assets such as their Mileage Plus membership and trade names to which they
will ascribe an aggregate value of $4.0 billion on their balance sheet as of the Effective Date.
This value includes a $3.6 billion adjustment related to fresh start reporting, as discussed below
under Fresh Start Adjustments.
10
Capital Structure: The Debtors long-term debt structure is assumed to be as follows:
|
(i) |
|
New Credit Facility: The Projections assume 100% debt financing in the
amount of $2.5 billion. The Debtors have not completed negotiations for a New Credit
Facility. However, the Debtors management believes that, based on proposals
received to date and currently being negotiated, the assumptions included in the
Projections for the New Credit Facility are likely to be representative of the New
Credit Facility ultimately achieved. The Debtors anticipate that the New Credit
Facility will have a 5 year final maturity, require $100 million in annual principal
repayments, and will carry a floating interest rate equal to LIBOR + 450 basis
points. The Debtors further anticipate that the New Credit Facility will be secured
by a first lien on substantially all unencumbered assets of the Debtors which
currently secure the DIP Facility. Covenants are anticipated to include minimum
liquidity requirements, annual capital expenditure limitations, minimum collateral
value to loan ratio, and a minimum EBITDAR requirement. The primary use of the New
Credit Facility will be to retire the DIP Facility, consummate the Plan, and provide
incremental liquidity. |
|
(ii) |
|
DIP Facility: The existing DIP Facility is comprised of a tranche A term
loan and a tranche B revolver with an aggregate commitment of $1.3 billion. The
estimated then outstanding balance of $1.1 billion will be paid on the Effective Date
using funds provided from the New Credit Facility. In addition, the Debtors have
negotiated a tranche C to the DIP Facility to provide interim financing for the
purchase of 1997-1 EETC Transaction A certificates (see Operating Expenses -Aircraft
Rent above). The Debtors anticipate refinancing this interim financing prior to or
on the Effective Date. |
|
(iii) |
|
Aircraft Debt: The Debtors historically financed portions of its aircraft
fleet with various publicly and privately held mortgage and capital lease
transactions, the restructuring of which the Debtors have substantially completed and
have reflected in the Projections. Pending approval of the agreements-in-principle
with holders of the publicly held transactions, only the 1997-1 EETC Transaction,
covering 14 aircraft, remains to be resolved. Pending completion of these
negotiations and on the assumption of a permanent refinancing, the Projections assume
the 1997-1 EETC Transaction A certificates remain in liabilities subject to
compromise and are reclassified as aircraft debt on the Effective Date. |
|
(iv) |
|
New UAL Debt Securities: Pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors are
extinguishing approximately $735 million of various pre-petition unsecured senior
notes and other securities, currently classified as liabilities subject to
compromise. However, also pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors anticipate issuing
$1,359 million of new unsecured notes and other securities in satisfaction of claims |
11
|
|
|
pursuant to the labor cost restructuring, the PBGC Settlement Agreement, and the
settlement with Chicago Municipal Bond holders (together, the New UAL Debt
Securities).4 The specific terms associated with the various New UAL
Debt Securities, including conversion rights, vary between issuances (see Article
IV.E of the Disclosure Statement for additional details). These New UAL Debt
Securities generally require minimal cash outlays over the Projection Period. |
|
|
|
|
The Debtors anticipate establishing the terms for (a) the $150 million of New UAL
OHare Bonds to be issued to the Chicago Municipal Bond holders, and (b) the $709
million of New UAL Convertible Employee Notes to be issued to employees such that
the issuances trade at par post-emergence. Accordingly, no discount is
incorporated in the Projections with respect to these securities. The Projections
include managements estimate for the terms associated with these debt
obligations, which include no amortization payments during the Projection Period. |
|
|
|
|
The debt securities to be issued pursuant to the PBGC Settlement Agreement include
$500 million of 6% senior subordinated notes (New UAL Senior Notes) and up to $500
million of 8% contingent notes (New UAL Contingent Senior Notes). As discussed
further below, the Debtors will adopt fresh start reporting upon emergence from
Chapter 11 and will record the carrying amounts of its debt at present values of
amounts to be paid at estimated market interest rates. As a result, the
Projections include a $223 million discount associated with the PBGC New UAL
Senior Notes that will be amortized to interest expense in future periods. The
terms of the New UAL Senior Notes provide for no amortization payments and for
interest to be paid-in-kind during the Projection Period. The Projections do not
include the PBGC New UAL Contingent Senior Notes since the performance levels
required to trigger issuance of such notes are not projected to be achieved during
the Projection Period. |
|
|
(v) |
|
Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition to the New UAL Senior Notes and
the New UAL Contingent Senior Notes, the Debtors will issue $500 million face value
of convertible preferred stock to PBGC in accordance with the PBGC Settlement
Agreement. This convertible preferred stock is convertible into common stock of the
Reorganized Debtors. The 2% annual dividends associated with this preferred stock
are paid in-kind and do not impact the income statement. The Reorganized Debtors have
recorded this convertible preferred stock at its estimated fair market value. Class
IAM Junior Preferred Stock and Class Pilot MEC Junior Preferred Stock are also set to
be issued pursuant to the Plan, however, these are voting securities to which no
value is attributable. |
|
|
|
4 |
|
The following debt securities are being issued
pursuant to the Plan: (a) New UAL Contingent Senior Notes, (b) New UAL
Convertible Employee Notes, (c) New UAL OHare Bonds, and (d) New UAL
Senior Notes. |
12
|
(vi) |
|
Common Equity. As discussed below, fresh start reporting results in a
common equity value derived in part from the estimated enterprise value of the
Reorganized Debtors. The Debtors have estimated a common equity value for the
Reorganized Debtors of $1.9 billion. To the extent the Debtors commence a Rights
Offering as discussed in the Plan, the proceeds would be incremental to the $1.9
billion estimated common equity value and would provide additional liquidity to the
Debtors. No assumptions regarding a Rights Offering have been included in the
Projections. |
Projected Consolidated Cash Flow Assumptions
Cash Flow From Operating Activities: Cash flow from operating activities is projected to
increase from a $1.1 billion cash outflow in 2002 to $2.6 billion cash inflow by 2010, for
aggregate cash produced from operating activities during the Projection Period of $9.8 billion.
Improved cash flow is a result of, among other things, the following: (a) reductions in personnel
costs from the labor restructuring, (b) termination and replacement of all four defined benefit
pension plans, (c) reductions in aircraft rents, (d) improved contribution from United Express
resulting from the contract and fleet restructuring, (e) concessions from various vendors, and (f)
various business process re-engineering initiatives, all coupled with the projected growth in
revenue throughout the Projection Period.
Cash Flow From Investing Activities: Cash flow from investing activities is projected to use
cash totaling $3.4 billion over the Projection Period. This reflects capital expenditures of
between $400 million and $850 million per year, and a net decrease of $335 million in restricted
cash.
Cash Flow From Financing Activities: The Projections anticipate the use of $6.2 billion,
excluding the initial funding of the New Credit Facility and repayment of the DIP Facility, during
the Projection Period to (a) meet required principle payments related to its aircraft debt, and (b)
repay the New Credit Facility in full. The Debtors anticipate no cash proceeds during the
Projection Period from the issuance of indebtedness.
Fresh-Start Projected Consolidated Balance Sheet Assumptions
Fresh start reporting adjustments have been made to reflect the estimated adjustments
necessary to adopt fresh start reporting in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the
Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7). Fresh start reporting requires an allocation of the reorganization
value of the Reorganized Debtors to the entitys assets in conformity with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. As stated above, the Projections reflect the
assets and liabilities of the Debtors as of the Effective Date at their estimated fair market
value. Fresh start reporting also requires that all liabilities, other than deferred taxes, should
be stated at present values of the amounts to be paid determined at appropriate market interest
rates.
13
The balance sheet adjustments set forth in the Projected Fresh Start Balance Sheet in the
columns captioned Release of Escrowed Funds, Debt Discharge & Reclassifications, New Credit
Facility Financing Transactions, and Fresh Start Adjustments reflect the assumed effect of
Confirmation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, including the
settlement of various liabilities and securities issuances, incurrence of new indebtedness, and
cash payments as more thoroughly described in Article III of the Plan. Below, the Debtors highlight
certain assumptions that were made in one or more of the aforementioned columns.
Release of Escrowed Funds
In the Release of Escrowed Funds column, $318 million of cash currently restricted by certain
of the Debtors credit card processors, as well as $200 million of tax escrows currently recorded
as other assets, are released to unrestricted cash. While these transactions are triggered by the
Debtors emergence on the Effective Date and are accordingly shown as exit transactions, actual
receipt of this cash may be delayed due to administrative requirements.
Debt Discharge & Reclassifications
In the Debt Discharge & Reclassifications column, certain of the items included in Liabilities
Subject to Compromise are reclassified to their appropriate balance sheet account, and other
liabilities are recognized in the Projected Fresh Start Balance Sheet in accordance with the terms
of the Plan. Along with other creditor claims accumulated through the bankruptcy proceeding (e.g.
by the rejection of aircraft, etc.), the Projections include claims related to the Debtors defined
benefit pension plans as Liabilities Subject to Compromise and are included in liabilities
discharged at exit. At this time, the Debtors expect Liabilities Subject to Compromise to be
approximately $17 billion immediately before emergence from Chapter 11, of which (a) $6.0 billion
will be reclassified as Aircraft Debt, (b) $1.1 billion will be reclassified as New UAL Debt
Securities as a result of the issuance of the New UAL Debt Securities, (c) $0.4 billion will be
reclassified as convertible preferred stock, (d) $0.2 billion will be reclassified as accrued and
other current liabilities, and (e) $0.3 billion will be written-down due to the adoption of fresh
start reporting. The remaining net balance of $8.9 billion in the Liabilities Subject To Compromise
will be discharged. As part of the discharge process, a gain on extinguishment of debt will be
recorded on the income statement as a non-cash item and is the primary reason the Debtors expect to
record $10.4 billion in net income while reporting a $916 million operating profit in 2006. This
non-cash gain does not represent new resources available to the Reorganized Debtor for its use. The
increasing strength of the Debtors estates is best interpreted by examining the progression of
operating earnings from the historic through the Projection Period.
Fresh Start Adjustments
The fresh start reporting anticipates that the fair value of the Debtors assets exceeds
reorganization value. This excess was allocated on a pro rata basis to reduce the fair value of
operating property and equipment, identified intangible assets, and other assets which are not
financial, deferred tax or pension assets.
The significant fresh start reporting adjustments reflected in the Projections are summarized
as follows:
14
|
(i) |
|
Current Assets: The Debtors anticipate that their current assets are reflected
at current market value. As a result, no fresh start adjustment has been included in
the Projections for these assets. |
|
|
(ii) |
|
Operating property and equipment, net: A fresh start adjustment of
approximately $2.4 billion was made to reduce the values of the fixed assets to their
estimated fair market value and also reflects a pro-rata allocation of the excess of
fair value of these assets to reorganization value. |
|
|
(iii) |
|
Intangibles Assets: A fresh start adjustment of approximately $3.6 billion
was made to allocate reorganization value to identified intangible assets. These
intangible assets reflect the estimated fair market value of the Debtors domestic
slots, international route authorities, and Mileage Plus customer database, as well as
various other identified intangible assets. The recorded value of these identified
intangible assets also reflects a pro rata allocation of the excess of fair value of
these assets to reorganization value. Certain of these assets, such as the
international route authorities, are expected to have an indefinite estimated remaining
life as they are considered renewable intangible assets and, therefore, have no
associated amortization forecast as a result. The carrying value of these indefinite
lived assets will be subject to annual impairment review under Statement of Financial
Accounting No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The various remaining
intangible assets have estimated useful lives ranging from two years to nine years over
which the assets are amortized. |
|
|
(iv) |
|
Liabilities Subject to Compromise: An adjustment of approximately (a) $8.9
billion was made to record the discharge of indebtedness pursuant to the Plan, and (b)
$0.3 billion to recognize certain reinstated Aircraft Debt at market rates. The
payment for convenience class creditors, accrued expenses, short term and long term
debt, deferred gains and other liabilities is also discussed in Article III of the
Plan. In addition, $6.2 billion of long-term debt, accrued expenses and other current
liabilities are being reclassified to their appropriate balance sheet accounts, and
$1.5 billion of new debt and preferred stock securities are being issued in
satisfaction of claims. |
|
|
(v) |
|
Post Retirement Liabilities: A fresh start adjustment of $50 million was made
to record unrecognized projected benefit liabilities, prior service costs and
unrecognized gains/losses. |
|
|
(vi) |
|
Total Stockholders Equity (Deficit): Adopting fresh start reporting results in
a new reporting entity with no retained earnings or deficit. All pre-existing common
stock is removed and replaced by the new equity structure based on Article III of the
Plan. The fresh start adjustments include an initial shareholders common equity value
determined by subtracting the re-valued liabilities and newly issued preferred stock of
the Debtors from the estimated enterprise value of the Reorganized Debtors. |
