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, United’s 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 plan’s 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, United’s 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. O’Connor, United’s 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 Company’s 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.

     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 Creditor’s 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

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.

     6. Classes 4H (Air Wis), 5H (Ameniti Travel Clubs, Inc.), 6H (BizJet Charter), 7H (BizJet Fractional), 8H (BizJet Services), 9H (Cybergold), 10H (DMS), 11H (Four Star), 12H (itarget), 13H (Kion Leasing), 14H (Mileage Plus Holdings), 15H (Mileage Plus, Inc.), 16H (Mileage Plus Marketing), 17H (MyPoints.com), 18H (MyPoints Offline), 19H (Premier Marketing), 20H (UAFC), 21H (UAL BMI), 22H (UAL Company Services), 23H (ULS), 24H (United BizJet), 25H (United Cogen), 26H (United GHS), 27H (United Vacations), and 28H (United Worldwide)—Interests

     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 United’s and UAL’s 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Court’s 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 United Debtors, then except as specifically set forth in the Plan: (a) 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; (b) Claims against multiple Debtors shall be treated as separate Claims with respect to each Debtor’s Estate for all purposes (including, without limitation, distributions and voting), and such Claims shall be administered as provided in the Plan; and (c) 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. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court does not order substantive consolidation, the Plan provides for twenty-eight Subplans of reorganization and the confirmation requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code must be satisfied separately with respect to each Subplan.
G. Certificate of Incorporation 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 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.

I. 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 post-reorganization operations. Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed approval of the New Credit Facility and authorization for the Reorganized Debtors to enter into and execute the New Credit Facility Documents and such other documents as the New Credit Facility Lenders may reasonably require to effectuate the treatment afforded to such lenders pursuant to the New Credit Facility, subject to such modifications as the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may deem to be reasonably necessary.
J. Sources of Consideration for Plan Distribution: All consideration necessary for the Reorganized Debtors to make any distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be obtained from existing assets, the operations of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, post-Confirmation borrowing pursuant to other available facilities of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the entry into the New Credit Facility and the issuance of New UAL Common Stock.

In addition, the Debtors and the successor entities pursuant to the Plan expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any Claims not so waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled that are alleged in any lawsuit in which the Debtors are a defendant or an interested party, against any person or entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits. Any Person to whom the Debtors have incurred an obligation (whether on account of services, purchase, or sale of goods or otherwise), 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 11 Cases; (b) such Person’s Proof of Claim has been objected to; (c) such Person’s Claim was included in the Debtors’ Schedules; or (d) such Person’s scheduled Claim has been

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, including, without limitation, Claims on account of grievances, reinstatement, and pension obligations, provided, however, that such treatment is without prejudice to the respective Union’s 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.

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 & Alliance Related Agreements, Revenue Related Agreements, and

     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.

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.
ARTICLE VIII.
PROCEDURES FOR TREATMENT OF DISPUTED, CONTINGENT,
AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS PURSUANT TO THE PLAN
A. Allowance of Claims and Interests: Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim or Interest shall be Deemed 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 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 Court’s 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 Holder’s 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 Holder’s 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 Entity’s 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 Holder’s 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 Holder’s 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 Holder’s 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 Creditor’s 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 Creditor’s 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 Creditor’s 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.

The Debtors and their respective directors, officers, agents, affiliates, representatives, attorneys and advisors have solicited votes on the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Solicitation Procedures Order and are entitled to the protections afforded by Section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the exculpation provisions set forth in ARTICLE X of the Plan.
     8. Burden of Proof: 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.
     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 Plan’s 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 Plan’s 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 Court’s approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims or controversies, and the Bankruptcy Court’s 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 Bond Settlement Agreement) (whether individually or collectively), based on or relating to, or in 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 United’s 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.

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.

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.

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.

Effect of Non-Occurrence of Conditions to Consummation: If the Consummation of the Plan does not occur, the Plan shall be null and void in all respects and nothing contained in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall: (i) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, such Debtor or any other Entity; (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of such Debtor or any other Entity; or (iii) constitute an admission, acknowledgment, offer, or undertaking of any sort by such Debtor or any other Entity.

Modification and Amendments: Subject to certain restrictions and requirements set forth in Section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019 and those restrictions on modifications set forth in the Plan, each of the Debtors expressly reserves its respective rights to alter, amend, modify, revoke, or withdraw the Plan or any Subplan with respect to such Debtor,

113


 

one or more times, prior to the Plan’s substantial consummation. The Debtors reserve the exclusive right to alter, amend, or modify the Plan, any Subplan, the Plan Supplement, or any exhibits included therein at any time prior to entry of the Confirmation Order.

The documents contained in the Plan Supplement are an integral part of the Plan and shall be approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Confirmation Order.
B. Effect of Confirmation Order on Modifications: Entry of a Confirmation Order shall mean 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 Plan shall (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, such Debtor or any other Entity; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of such Debtor or any other Entity; or (c) constitute an admission, acknowledgement, offer or undertaking of any sort by such Debtor or any other Entity.

C. Payment of Statutory Fees: All fees payable pursuant to Section 1930(a) of Title 28 of the United States Code, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the hearing pursuant to Section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be paid for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the Chapter 11 Cases are converted, dismissed or closed, whichever occurs first.
D. Post-Effective Date Committees
     1. Dissolution of Committees: Upon the Effective Date, all statutory committees appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall dissolve automatically, except with respect to applications for Professional Claims, and members shall be released and discharged from all rights, duties, responsibilities, and liabilities arising from, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases and under the Bankruptcy Code.

117

     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.

     (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.

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:

          (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 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 Committee’s 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 member’s expense reimbursement request exceeds $  per month, or the Plan Oversight Committee’s 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 Committee’s 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.

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.

     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 person’s 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 Court’s 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.

Table of Contents

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”). United’s operations, which consist primarily of the transportation of persons, property, and mail throughout the U.S. and abroad, accounted for most of UAL’s 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 United’s global route network, United serves virtually every major market around the world, either directly or through the Star Alliance, which is the world’s largest airline network. In addition to the Star Alliance, United provides regional service into United’s 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

 


Table of Contents

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
     UAL’s principal asset is the stock of United and the other Debtor-subsidiaries. UAL’s 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. United’s principal assets are its airline business and the stock of its subsidiaries. United’s 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.
 
2   Several documents that are included in the Plan Supplement are described herein, but these summaries are not a substitute for a complete understanding of the underlying documents. You are urged to review the full text of all such documents in the Plan Supplement.

     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.

Table of Contents

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

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.

Assuming the requisite acceptances are obtained, the Debtors intend to seek Confirmation of the Plan at the Confirmation Hearing scheduled on                           , 2006 at       a.m./p.m. central time, before the Bankruptcy Court. 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 of Claims that is Impaired under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors will seek Confirmation of the Plan under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Impaired Classes presumed to reject the Plan, and reserve the right to do so with respect to any other rejecting Class or to modify the Plan.
     The Bankruptcy Court has established                           , 2005 (the “Record Date”) as the date for determining which Holders of Claims and Interests are eligible to vote on the Plan. Ballots will be mailed to all registered Holders of Claims or Interests as of the Record Date that are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. An appropriate return envelope will be included with your Ballot, if necessary. Beneficial Holders of Claims or Interests who receive a return envelope addressed to their bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee (or its agent) (each, a “Nominee”) should allow sufficient time for their votes to be received by the Nominee and processed on a Master Ballot before the Voting Deadline, as defined below.
     The Debtors have engaged Poorman-Douglas Corporation as their Solicitation Agent to assist in the voting process. The Solicitation Agent will answer questions, provide additional copies of all materials, and oversee the voting tabulation. The Solicitation Agent will also

     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 carrier’s 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 world’s 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 Alliance’s 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
 
6   The remaining $0.4 billion is attributable to the UAL Loyalty Services segment, as described below.

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 United’s 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 United’s 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 Ted’s hubs in Denver, Washington Dulles, and Chicago O’Hare 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. United’s 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. United’s 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, United’s Pacific operations accounted for 16% of the Debtors’ operating revenues.
     Atlantic. Washington, D.C. is United’s primary gateway to Europe, serving Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Munich, Zurich, and Paris. Chicago is United’s 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, United’s 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, United’s Latin American operations accounted for almost 3% of the Debtors’ operating revenues.

     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 United’s 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 carrier’s 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 Cargo’s 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.

     Fuel. Fuel is United’s second largest cost behind labor. United’s fuel costs and consumption for the years 2004, 2003, and 2002 were as follows:
                         
    2004     2003     2002  
Gallons consumed (in millions)
    2,349       2,202       2,458  
Average price per gallon, including tax and hedge impact
  $ 1.25     $ 0.94     $ 0.78  
Cost (in millions)
  $ 2,943     $ 2,072     $ 1,921  
     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

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, United’s premiums have increased significantly. Additionally, after September 11, 2001, commercial insurers cancelled United’s 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. United’s 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 United’s, 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 United’s 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 United’s 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 United’s 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. United’s 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


Table of Contents

travel worldwide, United’s 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 other’s 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 O’Hare International Airport in Chicago (“O’Hare”) 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 United’s operational performance and reliability. To address congestion concerns and delays at O’Hare, United and American Airlines reached an agreement with the FAA in January 2004 to reduce each of their flight schedules at O’Hare. Furthermore, United reduced its schedule at O’Hare 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 FAA’s request to further depeak afternoon operations at O’Hare 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 O’Hare should not remain in place through April,

Table of Contents

2006. The FAA has initiated a formal rulemaking process to address O’Hare 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 United’s 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 United’s 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 United’s 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, United’s 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 United’s 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


Table of Contents

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 United’s 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 United’s 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.

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.

B. Existing Capital Structure of the Debtors
     1. UAL
          a. Aircraft-Related Guarantees
     In connection with United’s financing of 22 Boeing 757s and one Boeing 737 through U.S. leveraged leases (“USLLs”), UAL guaranteed United’s obligations. Also, in connection with UAL’s acquisition of Air Wisconsin in 1992, UAL guaranteed Air Wisconsin’s 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


Table of Contents

11, 2004, at UAL’s 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, UAL’s stockholders also approved an elaborate governance structure, which was set forth principally in UAL’s 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 UAL’s 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 UAL’s 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.

Table of Contents

     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 UAL’s 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 Trust’s 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 UAL’s 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


Table of Contents

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. UAL’s guaranty of the TOPrS Trust’s 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 United’s 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
         
Aircraft Type   Number  
Boeing 737-500
    29  
Boeing 737-300
    91  
Boeing 757-200
    69  
Boeing 767-300
    30  
Boeing 777-200A
    21  
Boeing 777-200B
    37  
Boeing 747-400
    36  
Airbus 319
    54  
Airbus 320
    96  
 
     
Total:
    463  
 
7   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 United’s 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


Table of Contents

     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:
         
    Original Principal  
    Amount  
Series   ($ in millions)  
101/4 % Debentures due July 15, 2021
  $ 300.0  
93/4 % Debentures due August 15, 2021
  $ 250.0  
9% Notes due December 15, 2003
  $ 150.0  
91/8 % Debentures due January 15, 2012
  $ 200.0  
10.67% Series A Debentures due May 1, 2004
  $ 370.2  
11.21% Series B Debentures due May 1, 2014
  $ 371.0  
 
     
Total:
  $ 1,641.2  
     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. United’s 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 United’s 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, United’s labor costs became the

31


Table of Contents

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. United’s 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 United’s proposal for a federal loan guarantee. Subsequent to the ATSB’s 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 Code—the 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


Table of Contents

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


Table of Contents

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


Table of Contents

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.

     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 City’s 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 Court’s 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 Court’s 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.

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 United’s 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 lender’s 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 United’s 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, arm’s-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 Facility’s 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


Table of Contents

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 Court’s 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 UAL’s 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) United’s failure to make certain payments in connection with the Section 1110 Fleet; (ii) the increase in United’s indebtedness as a result of deferring payments with respect to the Section 1110 Fleet, provided certain other conditions were satisfied; (iii) United’s failure to provide proper notice with respect to its modification or suspension of service on certain routes; (iv) the incurrence of additional Liens on United’s fuel inventory; (v) the financing of certain insurance premiums; (vi) United’s 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 United’s 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 United’s and UAFC’s 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


Table of Contents

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


Table of Contents

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 UAL’s 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 United’s 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 court’s 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.

(“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 United’s 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
