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

COMBINED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

The UAL and United unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shown here have been prepared as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC. The financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The UAL and United financial statements should be read together with the information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company’s quarterly financial data is subject to seasonal fluctuations and historically its second and third quarter financial results, which reflect higher travel demand, are better than its first and fourth quarter financial results.

NOTE 1 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and created a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This amendment prescribes that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendment supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The Company will use the full-retrospective approach in adopting this standard on January 1, 2018. We have reached conclusions on the applicability of the standard on accounting for contracts with customers. The standard impacts the classification of certain revenue streams and affects the timing of revenue recognition for others. The most significant impact is the classification of certain passenger ancillary fees from other operating revenue into passenger revenue on the statement of consolidated operations. These ancillary fees are directly related to passenger travel, such as airline change fees and baggage fees, and will no longer be considered distinct performance obligations separate from the passenger travel component. In addition, the ticket change fees which were previously recognized when received will be recognized when transportation is provided. While the classification of certain transactions within revenues and between revenues and operating expenses will change, the Company believes that the adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on its earnings.

In February 2016, the FASB amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and created a new Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date and recognize expenses on their income statements similar to the current Topic 840, Leases. It is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors are required to adopt Topic 842 using a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at or commencing after the date of initial application with an option to use certain practical expedients. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and believes this standard will have a significant impact on its consolidated balance sheets but is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The primary effect of adopting the new standard will be to record assets and obligations for current operating leases on the Company’s balance sheets.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10) (“ASU 2016-01”). This standard makes several changes, including the elimination of the available-for-sale classification of equity investments, and requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Based on its portfolio of investments as of June 30, 2017, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). The update requires employers to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net benefit cost, including interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost/credit and actuarial gain/loss, and settlement and curtailment effects, are to be presented outside of any subtotal of operating income. Employers will have to disclose the line(s) used to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost, if the components are not presented separately in the income statement. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The number of antidilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share amounts was not material.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, UAL repurchased approximately 6 million and 10 million shares of UAL common stock in open market transactions, respectively, for $0.4 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $1.1 billion remaining to purchase shares under its existing share repurchase authority. UAL may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws. UAL will repurchase shares of UAL common stock subject to prevailing market conditions, and may discontinue such repurchases at any time. See Part II, Item 2., “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this report for additional information.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 35.8% and 35.6%, respectively, and the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was 36.9% and 36.8%, respectively. The effective tax rates represented a blend of federal, state and foreign taxes and included the impact of certain nondeductible items. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 reflects the impact of a change in the mix of domestic and foreign earnings and the impact of discrete events including the recognition of excess tax benefits related to employee stock compensation as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies, which arise due to differences between the measure of compensation expense and the amount deductible for tax purposes, to be recorded directly through earnings as a component of income tax expense.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company contributed $160 million and $240 million, respectively, to its U.S. domestic tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans.

Share-Based Compensation. During the first six months of 2017, UAL’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved the United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan is an incentive compensation plan that allows the Company to use different forms of long-term equity incentives to attract, retain, and reward officers and employees (including prospective officers and employees). The 2017 Plan replaced the United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2008 Plan”). Any awards granted under the 2008 Plan prior to the approval of the 2017 Plan remain in effect pursuant to their terms. Awards may not be granted under the 2017 Plan after May 24, 2027. Under the 2017 Plan, the Company may grant: non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance compensation awards, performance units, cash incentive awards, other equity-based and equity-related awards, and dividends and dividend equivalents.

Table of Contents

In the six months ended June 30, 2017, UAL granted share-based compensation awards pursuant to both the 2008 Plan and the 2017 Plan. These share-based compensation awards include 1.5 million RSUs, consisting of 0.9 million time-vested RSUs and 0.6 million performance-based RSUs, and approximately 36 thousand stock options. The time-vested RSUs vest pro-rata, on February 28th of each year, over a three year period from the date of grant. These RSUs are generally equity awards settled in stock for domestic employees and liability awards settled in cash for international employees. The cash payments are based on the 20-day average closing price of UAL common stock immediately prior to the vesting date. The performance-based RSUs vest based on the Company’s relative improvement in pre-tax margin for the three years ending December 31, 2019. If this performance condition is achieved, cash payments will be made after the end of the performance period based on the 20-day average closing price of UAL common stock immediately prior to the vesting date. The Company accounts for the performance-based RSUs as liability awards.

Profit Sharing Plans. Substantially all employees participate in profit sharing based on a percentage of pre-tax earnings, excluding special charges, profit sharing expense and share-based compensation. Profit sharing percentages range from 5% to 20% depending on the work group, and in some cases profit sharing percentages vary above and below certain pre-tax margin thresholds. Eligible U.S. co-workers in each participating work group receive a profit sharing payout using a formula based on the ratio of each qualified co-worker’s annual eligible earnings to the eligible earnings of all qualified co-workers in all domestic work groups. Eligible non-U.S. co-workers receive profit sharing based on the calculation under the U.S. profit sharing plan for management and administrative employees. Profit sharing expense is recorded as a component of Salaries and related costs in the Company’s statements of consolidated operations.

Restricted cash - Restricted cash primarily includes collateral for letters of credit and collateral associated with workers’ compensation obligations.

Equity securities - Equity securities represent United’s investment in Azul Linhas Aereas Brasileiras S.A. (“Azul”), which was previously accounted for as a cost-method investment and is now accounted for as an available-for-sale investment. The fair value of Azul’s shares became readily determinable in the second quarter of 2017 upon its initial public offering.

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

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

 

Description

    

Fair Value Methodology

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

Short-term investments,

Equity securities, EETC and

Restricted cash

     Fair value is based on (a) the trading prices of the investment or similar instruments, (b) an income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts into a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts when observable trading prices are not available, or (c) broker quotes obtained by third-party valuation services.
Long-term debt      Fair values were based on either market prices or the discounted amount of future cash flows using our current incremental rate of borrowing for similar liabilities.
Other investments measured at NAV      In accordance with the relevant accounting standards, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the statement of financial position. The investments measured using NAV are shares of mutual funds that invest in fixed-income instruments including bonds, debt securities, and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Company can redeem its shares at any time at NAV subject to a three-day settlement period.

NOTE 7 - HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Fuel Derivatives

As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding to hedge its fuel consumption. The last of the Company’s fuel hedge derivatives designated for cash flow hedge accounting expired in December 2016. The Company’s current strategy is to not enter into transactions to hedge its fuel consumption, although the Company regularly reviews its strategy based on market conditions and other factors.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments. As of June 30, 2017, United had firm commitments and options to purchase aircraft from The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”), and Embraer S.A. (“Embraer”) presented in the table below:

     4  

Boeing 787

     19  

Embraer E175

     14  
(a) United also has options and purchase rights for additional aircraft.  

The aircraft listed in the table above are scheduled for delivery through 2027. To the extent the Company and the aircraft manufacturers with whom the Company has existing orders for new aircraft agree to modify the contracts governing those orders, the amount and timing of the Company’s future capital commitments could change. For the remainder of 2017, United expects to take delivery of four Boeing 737NG aircraft, one Boeing 787-9 aircraft, and 14 Embraer E175 aircraft. Additionally, the Company also currently expects to take delivery of four used Airbus A319s for the remainder of 2017.

In June 2017, the Company announced it will take delivery of four additional Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in 2018. The Company also converted 100 of its current Boeing 737 MAX orders into Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft and expects to take delivery of the aircraft starting in late 2020. All these aircraft are reflected in the table above.

The table below summarizes United’s commitments as of June 30, 2017, which primarily relate to the acquisition of aircraft and related spare engines, aircraft improvements and include other capital purchase commitments. Any new firm aircraft orders, including through the exercise of purchase options and purchase rights, will increase the total future capital commitments of the Company.

As of June 30, 2017, United had $278 million in financing available through a previously issued EETC transaction that it intends to use for the financing of certain aircraft delivered in the first half of 2017. Additionally United secured individual bank financing for eight Embraer E175 aircraft to be delivered in the second half of 2017. See Note 9 of this report for additional information on aircraft financing. The Company has also secured backstop financing commitments from certain of its aircraft manufacturers for a limited number of its future aircraft deliveries, subject to certain customary conditions. Financing may be necessary to satisfy the Company’s capital commitments for its firm order aircraft and other related capital expenditures.

Regional CPAs. In February 2017, United entered into a five-year capacity purchase agreement (“CPA”) with Air Wisconsin Airlines for regional service under the United Express brand commencing no later than February 2018. Air Wisconsin will operate no less than 50 and up to 65 CRJ 200s.

Guarantees. As of June 30, 2017, United is the guarantor of approximately $1.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of tax-exempt special facilities revenue bonds and interest thereon. These bonds, issued by various airport municipalities, are payable solely from rentals paid under long-term agreements with the respective governing bodies. The leasing arrangements associated with $1.4 billion of these obligations are accounted for as operating leases with the associated expense recorded on a straight-line basis resulting in ratable accrual of the lease obligation over the expected lease term. The leasing arrangements associated with approximately $432 million of these obligations are accounted for as capital leases. All of these bonds are due between 2017 and 2038.

In the Company’s financing transactions that include loans, the Company typically agrees to reimburse lenders for any reduced returns with respect to the loans due to any change in capital requirements and, in the case of loans in which the interest rate is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), for certain other increased costs that the lenders incur in carrying these loans as a result of any change in law, subject, in most cases, to obligations of the lenders to take certain limited steps to mitigate the requirement for, or the amount of, such increased costs. At June 30, 2017, the Company had $3.1 billion of floating rate debt and $75 million of fixed rate debt, with remaining terms of up to 11 years, that are subject to these increased cost provisions. In several financing transactions involving loans or leases from non-U.S. entities, with remaining terms of up to 11 years and an aggregate balance of $3.1 billion, the Company bears the risk of any change in tax laws that would subject loan or lease payments thereunder to non-U.S. entities to withholding taxes, subject to customary exclusions.

As of June 30, 2017, United is the guarantor of $163 million of aircraft mortgage debt issued by one of United’s regional carriers. The aircraft mortgage debt is subject to similar increased cost provisions as described above for the Company’s debt and the Company would potentially be responsible for those costs under the guarantees.

Labor Negotiations. As of June 30, 2017, United had approximately 90,600 active employees, of whom approximately 80% were represented by various U.S. labor organizations.

NOTE 9 - DEBT

As of June 30, 2017, a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, principally aircraft, route authorities, airport slots and loyalty program intangible assets, was pledged under various loan and other agreements. As of June 30, 2017, UAL and United were in compliance with their debt covenants.

2017 Credit and Guaranty Agreement. On March 29, 2017, United and UAL, as borrower and guarantor, respectively, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”). The 2017 Credit Agreement consists of a $1.5 billion term loan due April 1, 2024, which (i) was used to retire the entire principal balance of the term loans under the credit and guaranty agreement, dated March 27, 2013 (as amended, the “2013 Credit Agreement”), and (ii) increased the term loan balance by approximately $440 million, and a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility available for drawing until April 1, 2022, which increased the available capacity under the revolving credit facility of the 2013 Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2017, United had its entire capacity of $2.0 billion available under the revolving credit facility. The obligations of United under the 2017 Credit Agreement are secured by liens on certain international route authorities, certain take-off and landing rights and related assets of United.

Borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR, subject to a 0% floor, plus a margin of 2.25% per annum, or another rate based on certain market interest rates, plus a margin of 1.25% per annum. The principal amount of the term loan must be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount thereof, commencing on June 30, 2017, with any unpaid balance due on April 1, 2024. United may prepay all or a portion of the loan from time to time, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. United pays a commitment fee equal to 0.75% per annum on the undrawn amount available under the revolving credit facility.

The 2017 Credit Agreement includes covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain at least $2.0 billion of unrestricted liquidity and a minimum ratio of appraised value of collateral to the outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement of 1.60 to 1.0. The 2017 Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for this type of financing, including a cross default and cross acceleration provision to certain other material indebtedness of the Company. Under the provisions of the 2017 Credit Agreement, UAL’s ability to make investments and to pay dividends on, or repurchase, UAL’s common stock is restricted.

EETCs. In September 2016 and June 2016, United created EETC pass-through trusts, each of which issued pass-through certificates. The proceeds of the issuance of the pass-through certificates are used to purchase equipment notes issued by United and secured by its aircraft. The Company records the debt obligation upon issuance of the equipment notes rather than upon the initial issuance of the pass-through certificates. The pass-through certificates represent fractional undivided interests in the respective pass-through trusts and are not obligations of United. The payment obligations under the equipment notes are those of United. Proceeds received from the sale of pass-through certificates are initially held by a depositary in escrow for the benefit of the certificate holders until United issues equipment notes to the trust, which purchases such notes with a portion of the escrowed funds. These escrowed funds are not guaranteed by United and are not reported as debt on our consolidated balance sheet because the proceeds held by the depositary are not United’s assets. Certain details of the pass-through trusts with proceeds received from issuance of debt in 2017 are as follows (in millions, except stated interest rate):

5% Senior Notes due 2024. In January 2017, United issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Notes due February 1, 2024 (the “5% Senior Notes due 2024”). These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed and recorded by United on its balance sheet as debt. The indenture for the 5% Senior Notes due 2024 requires UAL to offer to repurchase the notes for cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest if certain changes of control of UAL occur.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded $36 million ($23 million net of taxes) and $57 million ($37 million net of taxes), respectively, of severance and benefit costs related to a voluntary early-out program for its technicians and related employees represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. In the first quarter of 2017, approximately 1,000 technicians and related employees elected to voluntarily separate from the Company and will receive a severance payment, with a maximum value of $100,000 per participant, based on years of service, with retirement dates through early 2019. Also, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded $5 million ($3 million net of taxes) and $21 million ($13 million net of taxes), respectively, of severance primarily related to its management reorganization initiative.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $6 million ($4 million net of taxes) and $14 million ($9 million net of taxes), respectively, of severance and benefit costs primarily related to a voluntary early-out program for its flight attendants.

In April 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) announced that, effective October 30, 2016, it would designate Newark Liberty International Airport (“Newark”) as a Level 2 schedule-facilitated airport under the International Air Transport Association Worldwide Slot Guidelines. The designation was associated with an updated demand and capacity analysis of Newark by the FAA. In the second quarter of 2016, the Company determined that the FAA’s action impaired the entire value of its Newark slots because the slots are no longer the mechanism that governs take-off and landing rights. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $412 million special charge ($264 million net of taxes) to write off the intangible asset.

In April 2016, the fleet service, passenger service, storekeeper and other employees represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (the “IAM”) ratified seven new contracts with the Company which extended the contracts through 2021. During three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $10 million ($6 million net of taxes) and $110 million ($70 million net of taxes), respectively, of special charges primarily for bonus payments in conjunction with the IAM agreements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the City of Cleveland agreed to amend the Company’s lease, which runs through 2029, associated with certain excess airport terminal space (principally Terminal D) and related facilities at Hopkins International Airport. The Company recorded an accrual for remaining payments under the lease for facilities that the Company no longer uses and will continue to incur costs under the lease without economic benefit to the Company. This liability was measured and recorded at its fair value when the Company ceased its right to use such facilities leased to it pursuant to the lease. The Company recorded a special charge of $74 million ($47 million net of taxes) related to the amended lease.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded gains and losses on sale of assets and other special charges of $3 million ($2 million net of taxes) and $17 million ($11 million net of taxes), respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded gains and losses on sale of assets and other special charges of $6 million ($4 million net of taxes) and $14 million ($9 million net of taxes), respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a $9 million ($6 million net of taxes) gain on the sale of an affiliate. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $8 million ($5 million net of taxes) of losses due to exchange rate changes in Venezuela applicable to funds held in local currency. Both of these charges were recorded as part of Nonoperating income (expense): Miscellaneous, net.

Accrual

The accrual balance for severance and benefits was $27 million as of June 30, 2017, compared to $30 million as of June 30, 2016. The severance-related accrual as of June 30, 2017 is expected to be mostly paid through early 2019. The accrual balance for future lease payments on permanently grounded aircraft was $29 million as of June 30, 2017, compared to $41 million as of June 30, 2016. The grounded aircraft related accrual as of June 30, 2017 is expected to be mostly paid through 2025. The following is a reconciliation of severance and permanently grounded aircraft accrual activity for the six months ended June 30:

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

Overview

United Continental Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “UAL” or the “Company”) is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is United Airlines, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “United”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of UAL and United including their respective consolidated financial statements. As UAL consolidates United for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to activities of United also apply to UAL, unless otherwise noted. United’s operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of UAL’s revenues and operating expenses.

 

23


Table of Contents

In addition, United comprises approximately the entire balance of UAL’s assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. When appropriate, UAL and United are named specifically for their individual contractual obligations and related disclosures and any significant differences between the operations and results of UAL and United are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” in this report for disclosures that relate to all of UAL and United.

The Company transports people and cargo through its mainline operations, which utilize jet aircraft with at least 118 seats, and regional operations, which utilize smaller aircraft that are operated under contract by United Express carriers. The Company serves virtually every major market around the world, either directly or through participation in Star Alliance®, the world’s largest airline alliance. UAL, through United and its regional carriers, operates approximately 4,500 flights a day to 338 airports across five continents.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

 

   

Second quarter 2017 net income was $818 million, or $2.66 diluted earnings per share, as compared to net income of $588 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.78, in the second quarter of 2016.

 

   

Passenger revenue increased 6.4% to $8.6 billion during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016.

 

   

Second quarter 2017 aircraft fuel cost increased $232 million, 16.1% year-over-year.

 

   

Unrestricted liquidity at June 30, 2017 was $6.6 billion, including $2.0 billion of undrawn commitments under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

 

   

In the three months ended June 30, 2017, UAL repurchased approximately 6 million of its common stock in open market transactions for $0.4 billion. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $1.1 billion remaining to purchase shares under its existing share repurchase authority.

Second Quarter Operational Highlights

 

   

Delivered the best airline operation among major competitors, including the best completion, on-time arrival and departure performance.

 

   

Consolidated traffic increased 4.3% and consolidated capacity increased 4.2% during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. The Company’s load factor for the second quarter of 2017 was 83.5%.

 

   

The Company took delivery of six Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, ten Embraer E175 aircraft and one used Airbus A319 aircraft during the second quarter of 2017.

Outlook

The Company expects full-year 2017 consolidated capacity to increase between 2.5% and 3.5% year-over-year. Domestic capacity is expected to increase between 3.5% and 4.5% year-over-year and international capacity is expected to increase between 1.0% and 2.0% year-over-year.

As outlined at our November 2016 Investor Day presentation, the Company expects to drive significant incremental value by 2020 relative to 2015. United anticipates capturing this value through a variety of initiatives including a re-fleeting and upgauge program, additional customer choice through segmentation, improvements to the revenue management systems, ongoing sensible cost management, realizing our full network potential through improved schedule quality and enhancements to the MileagePlus program. In addition, the Company will continue to focus on improving reliability while increasing the efficiency of the operation.

The price of jet fuel remains volatile. Based on projected fuel consumption in 2017, a one dollar change in the price of a barrel of crude oil would change the Company’s annual fuel expense by approximately $95 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides an analysis of results of operations and reasons for material changes therein for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period in 2016.

The Pacific region experienced a decline in PRASM in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the year-ago period due to unfavorable supply and demand dynamics in China.

Cargo revenue increased $46 million, or 22.1%, in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to higher international freight volume and higher domestic and international mail volume.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current Liquidity

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $4.6 billion in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, as compared to $4.4 billion at December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, the Company also had $130 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents, which is primarily collateral for letters of credit and estimated future workers’ compensation claims. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had its entire commitment capacity of $2.0 billion under the revolving credit facility of the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2017 (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) available for borrowings.

As is the case with many of our principal competitors, we have a high proportion of debt compared to capital and a deficit in working capital. We have a significant amount of fixed obligations, including debt, aircraft leases and financings, leases of airport property and other facilities, and pension funding obligations. At June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $13.2 billion of debt and capital lease obligations, including $1.6 billion that will become due in the next 12 months. In addition, we have substantial noncancelable commitments for capital expenditures, including the acquisition of certain new aircraft and related spare engines. As of June 30, 2017, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $5.3 billion. However, approximately $7.2 billion of our current liabilities are related to our advance ticket sales and frequent flyer deferred revenue, both of which largely represent revenue to be recognized for travel in the near future and not actual cash outlays. The deficit in working capital does not have an adverse impact to our cash flows, liquidity or operations.

As of June 30, 2017, United had firm commitments and options to purchase aircraft from The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”) and Embraer S.A. (“Embraer”) presented in the table below:

 

Aircraft Type

   Number of Firm
        Commitments (a)        
 

Airbus A350

     35   

Boeing 737NG/737 MAX

     165   

Boeing 777-300ER

      

Boeing 787

     19   

Embraer E175

     14   
(a) United also has options and purchase rights for additional aircraft.  

The aircraft listed in the table above are scheduled for delivery through 2027. To the extent the Company and the aircraft manufacturers with whom the Company has existing orders for new aircraft agree to modify the contracts governing those orders, the amount and timing of the Company’s future capital commitments could change. For the remainder of 2017, United expects to take delivery of four Boeing 737NG aircraft, one Boeing 787-9 aircraft, and 14 Embraer E175 aircraft. Additionally, the Company also currently expects to take delivery of four used Airbus A319s for the remainder of 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, UAL and United have total capital commitments primarily related to the acquisition of aircraft and related spare engines, aircraft improvements and include other capital purchase commitments for approximately $22.0 billion, of which approximately $2.1 billion, $2.9 billion, $3.6 billion, $2.9 billion, $2.3 billion and $8.2 billion are due in the last six months of 2017 and for the full year for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and thereafter, respectively. Any new firm aircraft orders, including through the exercise of purchase options and purchase rights, will increase the total future capital commitments of the Company.

As of June 30, 2017, United had $278 million in financing available through a previously issued EETC transaction that it intends to use for the financing of certain aircraft delivered in the first half of 2017. Additionally United secured individual bank financing for eight Embraer E175 aircraft to be delivered in the second half of 2017. See Note 9 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information on aircraft financing. The Company has also secured backstop financing commitments from certain of its aircraft manufacturers for a limited number of its future aircraft deliveries, subject to certain customary conditions. Financing may be necessary to satisfy the Company’s capital commitments for its firm order aircraft and other related capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2017, a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, principally aircraft, route authorities, airport slots and loyalty program intangible assets, was pledged under various loan and other agreements. We must sustain our profitability and/or access the capital markets to meet our significant long-term debt and capital lease obligations and future commitments for capital expenditures, including the acquisition of aircraft and related spare engines.

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

 

     S&P    Moody’s    Fitch
UAL    BB-    Ba2    BB
United    BB-    *    BB

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

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

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities. Cash flow provided by operations was $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3.7 billion in the same period in 2016. Operating income for the first six months of 2017 remained flat at $1.7 billion versus the year-ago period. Excluding the non-cash impairment of the Newark slots, operating income for the first six months of 2017 was approximately $0.5 billion lower than the first six months of 2016. Additionally, there were approximately $1.1 billion of changes in working capital items, which consist of $0.3 billion decrease in advanced purchase of miles due to increased utilization of pre-purchased miles, $0.3 billion decrease related to timing of payroll cycles and accounts payable, $0.2 billion reduction in advance ticket sales, $0.2 billion increase in prepayments for maintenance contracts, and $0.1 billion increase in pension contributions.

Investing Activities. Capital expenditures were $1.8 billion and $1.7 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were primarily attributable to the purchase of aircraft, facility and fleet-related costs.

Financing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company made debt and capital lease payments of $0.6 billion.

On March 29, 2017, United and UAL, as borrower and guarantor, respectively, entered into the 2017 Credit Agreement. The 2017 Credit Agreement consists of a $1.5 billion term loan due April 1, 2024, which (i) was used to retire the entire principal balance of the term loans under the credit and guaranty agreement, dated March 27, 2013 (as amended, the “2013 Credit Agreement”), and (ii) increased the term loan balance by approximately $440 million, and a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility available for drawing until April 1, 2022, which increased the available capacity under the revolving credit facility of the 2013 Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2017, United had its entire capacity of $2.0 billion available under the revolving credit facility. The obligations of United under the 2017 Credit Agreement are secured by liens on certain international route authorities, certain take-off and landing rights and related assets of United. See Note 9 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017, United received and recorded $987 million of proceeds as debt from the two EETC pass-through trusts established in 2016. See Note 9 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017, United borrowed approximately $167 million aggregate principal amount from various financial institutions to finance the purchase of several aircraft delivered in 2017. The notes evidencing these borrowings, which are secured by the related aircraft, mature in 2027 and each has an interest rate comprised of LIBOR plus a specified margin.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017, United received and recorded $300 million proceeds of the 5% Senior Notes due February 1, 2024.

Share Repurchase Programs. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, UAL repurchased approximately 10 million shares of UAL common stock in open market transactions for $0.7 billion. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $1.1 billion remaining to purchase shares under its existing share repurchase authority.

UAL may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws. UAL will repurchase shares of UAL common stock subject to prevailing market conditions, and may discontinue such repurchases at any time.

See “Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2016 Annual Report and Note 1 to the financial statements contained in Part 1, Item 1 of this report for a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this report are forward-looking and thus reflect our current expectations and beliefs with respect to certain current and future events and anticipated financial and operating performance. Such forward-looking statements are and will be subject to many risks and uncertainties relating to our operations and business environment that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Words such as “expects,” “will,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “indicates,” “believes,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “goals” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Additionally, forward-looking statements include statements that do not relate solely to historical facts, such as statements which identify uncertainties or trends, discuss the possible future effects of current known trends or uncertainties, or which indicate that the future effects of known trends or uncertainties cannot be predicted, guaranteed or assured. All forward-looking statements in this report are based upon information available to us on the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements due to numerous factors including, without limitation, the following: our ability to comply with the terms of our various financing arrangements; the costs and availability of financing; our ability to maintain adequate liquidity; our ability to execute our operational plans and revenue-generating initiatives, including optimizing our revenue; our ability to control our costs, including realizing benefits from our resource optimization efforts, cost reduction initiatives and fleet replacement programs; costs associated with any modification or termination of our aircraft orders; our ability to utilize our net operating losses; our ability to attract and retain customers; potential reputational or other impact from adverse events in our operations; demand for transportation in the markets in which we operate; an outbreak of a disease that affects travel demand or travel behavior; demand for travel and the impact that global economic and political conditions have on customer travel patterns; excessive taxation and the inability to offset future taxable income; general economic conditions (including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, investment or credit market conditions, crude oil prices, costs of aircraft fuel and energy refining capacity in relevant markets); economic and political instability and other risks of doing business globally; our ability to cost-effectively hedge against increases in the price of aircraft fuel if we decide to do so; any potential realized or unrealized gains or losses related to fuel or currency hedging programs; the effects of any hostilities, act of war or terrorist attack; the ability of other air carriers with whom we have alliances or partnerships to provide the services contemplated by the respective arrangements with such carriers; the effects of any technology failures or cybersecurity breaches; disruptions to our regional network; the costs and availability of aviation and other insurance; industry consolidation or changes in airline alliances; the success of our investments in airlines in other parts of the world; competitive pressures on pricing and on demand; our capacity decisions and the capacity decisions of our competitors; U.S. or foreign governmental legislation, regulation and other actions (including Open Skies agreements and environmental regulations); the impact of regulatory, investigative and legal proceedings and legal compliance risks; the impact of any management changes; labor costs; our ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations and the results of any collective bargaining agreement process with our union groups; any disruptions to operations due to any potential actions by our labor groups; weather conditions; and other risks and uncertainties set forth under Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” of our 2016 Annual Report, as well as other risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in the reports we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation to conclude with reasonable assurance that UAL’s and United’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed and operating effectively to report the information each company is required to disclose in the reports they file with the SEC on a timely basis. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of UAL and United have concluded that as of June 30, 2017, disclosure controls and procedures of each of UAL and United were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting during the Quarter Ended June 30, 2017

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes in UAL’s or United’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, their internal control over financial reporting (as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

(a) In July 2016, UAL’s Board of Directors authorized a $2 billion share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $1.1 billion remaining to purchase shares under its share repurchase program. UAL may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws.

(b) The table does not include shares withheld from employees to satisfy certain tax obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan, which replaced the United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan on May 24, 2017, provides for the withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock. However, this plan does not specify a maximum number of shares that may be withheld for this purpose. A total of 1,099 shares were withheld under this plan in the second quarter of 2017 at an average share price of $76.27. These shares of common stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item.

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

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

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

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

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

1.2 Customer and Boeing will consult on a frequent basis to keep each other informed as to Customer’s fleet plans and Boeing’s production plans in order to meet the requirements of both parties. Based on such reviews and discussions, Boeing will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet Customer’s fleet needs when providing the notices required by Article 1.1. Such notices provided by Boeing will constitute an amendment to Table 1A of the Purchase Agreement. The amended Table 1A shall be the scheduled delivery positions for the purposes of applying all provisions of the Purchase Agreements, including without limitation the BFE on-dock dates, and the *** the *** for the 737-10 Aircraft.

Final configuration of the 737-10 Aircraft (Final Configuration) will be completed using the then-current Boeing configuration documentation in accordance with the following schedule:

2.1.1 No later than *** prior to the first 737-10 Aircraft’s scheduled delivery, Boeing and Customer will discuss potential optional features.

2.1.2 Within *** after that meeting, Boeing will provide Customer with a proposal for those optional features that can be incorporated into the 737-10 Aircraft during production.

2.1.3 Customer will then have *** to accept or reject the optional features.

2.1.4 Within *** following Final Configuration, Boeing and Customer will execute a written amendment to the Purchase Agreement which will reflect the following:

3 AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION

 

  3.1 The guarantees contained in this Attachment are based on the Aircraft configuration as defined in ***, dated ***, plus any changes mutually agreed upon or otherwise allowed by the Purchase Agreement to be incorporated into the Customer’s Detail Specification (herein referred to as the Detail Specification). Appropriate adjustment will be made for changes in such Detail Specification approved by the Customer and Boeing or otherwise allowed by the Purchase Agreement which cause changes to the flight performance and/or weight and balance of the Aircraft. Such adjustment will be accounted for by Boeing in its evidence of compliance with the guarantees.

 

  3.2 The guarantee payloads of paragraphs 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.3, and 2.5.4, and the specified payload in the *** guarantee of paragraph 2.5.5 will be adjusted by Boeing for the effect of the following on OEW in its evidence of compliance with the guarantees:

(1) Changes to the Detail Specification or any other changes mutually agreed upon between the Customer and Boeing or otherwise allowed by the Purchase Agreement.

(2) The difference between the component weight allowances given in Appendix E of the Detail Specification and the actual weights.

 

4 GUARANTEE CONDITIONS

 

  4.1 All guaranteed performance data are based on the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) and specified variations therefrom; altitudes are pressure altitudes.

 

  4.2 For the purposes of these 737-10 guarantees the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations referred to in this Attachment are, unless otherwise specified, 14 CFR Part 25 effective February 1, 1965, including Amendments 25-1 through 25-141 with the exceptions permitted by 14CFR21.101.

  4.3 In the event a change is made to any law, governmental regulation or requirement, or in the interpretation of any such law, governmental regulation or requirement that affects the certification basis for the Aircraft as described in Paragraph 4.2, and as a result thereof, a change is made to the configuration and/or the performance of the Aircraft in order to obtain certification, the guarantees set forth in this Attachment will be appropriately modified to reflect any such change.

 

  4.4 The takeoff and landing guarantees, and the takeoff portion of the mission guarantees are based on hard surface, level and dry runways with no wind or obstacles, no clearway or stopway, *** mph tires, with *** brakes, anti-skid operative, alternate go-around flap procedure (option to select Flaps 5 when performing a return to land check), and with the Aircraft center of gravity at the most forward limit unless otherwise specified. If the guarantee condition specifies an alternate forward center of gravity, the performance will reflect the more aft center of gravity of the alternate forward center of gravity specified in the guarantee condition or the forward center of gravity limit. The takeoff performance is based on no engine bleed for air conditioning or thermal anti-icing and ***. The Power Management Control (PMC) is turned on. Unbalanced field length calculations and the improved climb performance procedure will be used for takeoff as required. The landing performance is based on the use of automatic spoilers.

Exhibit 10.6

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD NOTICE

to [NAME]

Pursuant to the United Continental Holdings, Inc.

2017 Incentive Compensation Plan

This Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice (this “Award Notice”), dated as of [GRANT DATE] (the “Grant Date”), sets forth the terms and conditions of an award (the “Award”) of [UNITS GRANTED] restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) that is subject to the terms and conditions specified herein and that is granted to [NAME] (“you”) by United Continental Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), under the United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

This Award is subject to certain restrictions on transfer, risks of forfeiture, restrictive covenants (including confidentiality and non-competition obligations), and other terms and conditions specified herein and in the Plan. [You must accept this Award, in accordance with the processes of the third party administrator of the Plan, within                      (    ) calendar days of the Grant Date or it is subject to cancellation on the     th calendar day following the Grant Date.]

SECTION 1. The Plan. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, all the terms of which are hereby incorporated into this Award Notice. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Award Notice, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

SECTION 2. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Award Notice that are not defined in this Award Notice have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan. As used in this Award Notice, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in any employment agreement or severance plan of the Company applicable to you and as in effect on the date hereof.

Involuntary Termination” shall mean any Termination of Employment by the Company which is not (i) by the Company due to Cause, (ii) due to your resignation, including due to Retirement, or (iii) a result of your death or Disability. If you provide notice of resignation, in no event shall your Termination of Employment be considered an Involuntary Termination by the Company, even if the effective date of termination is accelerated by the Company.

Retirement” shall mean your Termination of Employment upon having achieved age 50 with 20 years of service with the Company and its Affiliates, age 55 with ten years of service with the Company and its Affiliates, or age 65.

SECTION 3. Vesting and Settlement. (a) Vesting. Your RSUs shall vest according to the schedule set forth in Section 3(a)(i) below, provided that you must be actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the relevant Vesting Date, except as set forth in Section 3(a)(ii) and (iii) below or as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided further that, in the event of your Termination of Employment by reason of death or by the Company due to Disability, you shall immediately become entitled to vesting of all outstanding RSUs (and such RSUs shall be settled within 60 days of such Termination of Employment).

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Notice and to the provisions of the Plan, your RSUs shall vest and no longer be subject to any restriction in accordance with the following schedule: [vesting increments to be determined at date of grant] of the RSUs subject to the Award on the Grant Date shall vest on [vesting dates to be determined at date of grant]. In the event that this vesting schedule results in a fractional share, the fractional share will be rounded down on the first Vesting Date and carried forward to the final Vesting Date.


(ii) In the event of your Termination of Employment during the two-year period following a Change of Control, if such Termination of Employment constitutes either (A) an Involuntary Termination or (B) if applicable to you, a termination by you for “good reason” under the terms of any employment agreement or Company severance plan applicable to you and as in effect on the date hereof, then all outstanding RSUs shall immediately vest upon such Termination of Employment and you shall be entitled to settlement of all then outstanding RSUs within 60 days of your Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your rights with respect to such RSUs shall be forfeited in accordance with Section 4 unless on or before the 60th day following your Termination of Employment, you have executed and delivered to the Company a valid waiver and release of all claims against the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and you have not revoked such waiver and release of claims in accordance with its terms.

(iii) In the event of your Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, your then outstanding RSUs shall vest (and be settled within 60 days of your Termination of Employment) on a pro-rata basis effective as of the date of such Termination of Employment as follows:

 

  A. If such Retirement occurs on or before the first Vesting Date, the number of RSUs scheduled to vest on such Vesting Date pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date of your Retirement and the denominator of which is 365, up to a maximum fraction equivalent to 100%. All remaining unvested RSUs shall be forfeited.

 

  B. If such Retirement occurs after the first Vesting Date but on or before the second Vesting Date, the number of RSUs scheduled to vest on the second Vesting Date pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the day following the first Vesting Date and ending on the date of your Retirement and the denominator of which is 365. All remaining unvested RSUs shall be forfeited.

 

  C. If such Retirement occurs after the second Vesting Date, but on or before the final Vesting Date pursuant to Section 3(a)(i), the number of RSUs scheduled to vest on the [final Vesting Date][to be completed based on the number of Vesting Dates determined at Grant Date] pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the day following the second Vesting Date and ending on the date of your Retirement and the denominator of which is 365.

(b) Settlement of RSUs. The RSUs granted to you pursuant to this Award will be settled in Shares. The Company shall deliver to you, within 15 days after the Vesting Date on which the RSUs become vested, one Share for each RSU that becomes vested in accordance with the terms of this Award Notice; provided that if you are eligible for Retirement, such delivery date shall not be later than March 15th of the year following the year in which you are eligible for pro-rata vesting in accordance with this Award Notice. Upon settlement, a number of RSUs equal to the number of Shares represented thereby shall be extinguished and such number of RSUs will no longer be considered to be held by you for any purpose.


SECTION 4. Forfeiture of RSUs. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, and except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Award Notice, if the Vesting Date with respect to any RSUs awarded to you pursuant to this Award Notice has not occurred prior to the date of your Termination of Employment, your rights with respect to such RSUs shall immediately terminate upon your Termination of Employment, and you will be entitled to no further payments or benefits with respect thereto.

SECTION 5. Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalents. You do not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the RSUs granted to you pursuant to this Award. Further, you do not have the right to vote or to receive any dividends or any dividend equivalents relating to such dividends declared or paid on the Shares with respect to the RSUs granted to you pursuant to this Award.

SECTION 6. Non-Transferability of RSUs. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in its discretion and notwithstanding clause (ii) of Section 10(a) of the Plan, prior to the date that they become vested, RSUs may not be sold, assigned, alienated, transferred, pledged, attached or otherwise encumbered by you, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company, provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

SECTION 7. Data Privacy. You hereby explicitly consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Award Notice by and among, as applicable, the Company, its Affiliates and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that the Company (and/or your local employer, if applicable) holds certain personal information about you, which information may include, but is not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, email address, family size, marital status, sex, beneficiary information, emergency contacts, passport/visa information, age, language skills, drivers license information, nationality, resume, wage history, employment references, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, job title, employment or severance contract details, current wage and benefit information, personal bank account number, tax related information, plan or benefit enrollment forms and elections, option or benefit statements, any shares of stock or directorships in the Company, details of all shares (if any) granted, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding for purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any proceeds acquired. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Human Resources. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact Human Resources.


SECTION 8. Restrictive Covenants. You acknowledge that the Company is engaged in a highly competitive business and that the preservation of its Proprietary or Confidential Information (as defined in Section 8(a) below) to which you have been exposed or acquired, and will continue to be exposed to and acquire, is critical to the Company’s continued business success. You also acknowledge that the Company’s relationships with its business partners (which shall mean companies with whom the Company has corporate volume agreements or other high volume business, preferred vendors/suppliers, and travel distribution channel providers, hereinafter “Business Partners”), are extremely valuable and that, by virtue of your employment with the Company, you have had or may have contact with such Business Partners on behalf of and for the benefit of the Company. As a result, your engaging in or working for or with any business which is directly or indirectly competitive with the Company’s business, given your knowledge of the Company’s Proprietary or Confidential Information, would cause the Company great and irreparable harm if not done in strict compliance with the provisions of this Section 8. You, therefore, acknowledge and agree that in exchange for the Award and/or access to the Company’s Proprietary or Confidential Information you will be bound by, and comply in all respects with, the provisions of this Section 8.

(a) Confidentiality. You shall at all times hold in strict confidence any Proprietary or Confidential Information related to the Company or any of its Affiliates, except that you may disclose such information as required by law, court order, regulation, or similar order or as otherwise provided in Section 8(i) below. For purposes of this Award Notice, the term “Proprietary or Confidential Information” shall mean all non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates (including but not limited to all marketing, alliance, social media, advertising, and sales plans and strategies; pricing information; financial, advertising, and product development plans and strategies; compensation and incentive programs for employees; alliance agreements, plans, and processes; plans, strategies, and agreements related to the sale of assets; third party provider agreements, relationships, and strategies; business methods and processes used by the Company and its employees; all personally identifiable information regarding Company employees, contractors, and applicants; lists of actual or potential Business Partners; and all other business plans, trade secrets, or financial information of strategic importance to the Company or its Affiliates) that is not generally known in the airline industry, that was learned, discovered, developed, conceived, originated, or prepared during your employment with Company, and the competitive use or disclosure of which would be harmful to the business prospects, financial status, or reputation of the Company or its Affiliates at the time of any disclosure by you.

The relationship between you and the Company and its Affiliates is and shall continue to be one in which the Company and its Affiliates repose special trust and confidence in you, and one in which you have and shall have a fiduciary relationship to the Company and its Affiliates. As a result, the Company and its Affiliates shall, in the course of your duties to the Company, entrust you with, and disclose to you, Proprietary or Confidential Information. You recognize that Proprietary or Confidential Information has been developed or acquired, or will be developed or acquired, by the Company and its Affiliates at great expense, is proprietary to the Company and its Affiliates, and is and shall remain the property of the Company and its Affiliates. You acknowledge the confidentiality of Proprietary or Confidential Information and further acknowledge that you could not competently perform your duties and responsibilities in your position with the Company and/or its Affiliates without access to such information. You acknowledge that any use of Proprietary or Confidential Information by persons not in the employ of the Company and its Affiliates would provide such persons with an unfair competitive advantage which they would not have without the knowledge and/or use of the Proprietary or Confidential Information and that this would cause the Company and its Affiliates irreparable harm. You further acknowledge that because of this unfair competitive advantage, and the Company’s and its Affiliates’ legitimate business interests, which include their need to protect their goodwill and the Proprietary or Confidential Information, you have agreed to the post-employment restrictions set forth in this Section 8. Nothing in this Section 8(a) is intended, or shall be construed, to limit the protection of any applicable law or policy of the Company or its Affiliates that relates to the protection of trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information.


(b) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During your employment and for the one-year period following termination of your employment for any reason (the “Coverage Period”), you hereby agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, hire, seek to hire, or assist any other person or entity (on your own behalf or on behalf of such other person or entity) in soliciting or hiring any person who is at that time an employee, consultant, independent contractor, representative, or other agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates to perform services for any entity (other than the Company or its Affiliates), or attempt to induce or encourage any such employee to leave the employ of the Company or its Affiliates.

(c) Notice of Intent to Resign. In the event you wish to voluntarily terminate your employment, you agree to provide the Company with four (4) weeks advance written notice (the “Notice Period”) of your intent to do so, and, if you intend or contemplate alternative employment, you also agree to provide the Company with accurate information concerning such alternative employment in sufficient detail to allow the Company to meaningfully exercise its rights under this Section 8. After receipt of such notice, the Company, in its sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion, may (i) require you to continue working during the Notice Period, (ii) relieve you of some or all of your work responsibilities during the Notice Period, or (iii) shorten the Notice Period and make your voluntary termination of employment effective immediately.

(d) Non-Competition.

(i) In return for, among other things, this Award and the Company’s promise to provide the Proprietary or Confidential Information described herein, you agree that during your employment and the Coverage Period, you shall not compete with the Company by providing work, services or any other form of assistance (whether or not for compensation) in any capacity, whether as an employee, consultant, partner, or otherwise, to any Competitor (as defined below) that (1) are the same or similar to the services you provided to the Company or (2) creates the reasonable risk that you will (willfully, inadvertently or inevitably) use or disclose Proprietary or Confidential Information. “Competitor” means any airline or air carrier that operates or does business in any State, territory, or protectorate of the United States in which the Company or an Affiliate does business and/or in any foreign country in which the Company or an Affiliate has an office, station, or branch or conducts business through its worldwide route structure, as of the date of your termination of employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates. You acknowledge that the Company and its Affiliates compete in a world-wide air transportation market that includes passenger transportation and services, air cargo services, repair and maintenance of aircraft and staffing services for third parties, logistics management and consulting, private jet operations and fuel deployment and management, and that the Company’s business plan is international in scope. You agree that, because the Company’s business is global in scope, this restriction is reasonable. You further acknowledge and agree that the restrictions imposed in this paragraph will not prevent you from earning a livelihood.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, should you consider working for or with any actually, arguably, or potentially competing business following the termination of your employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates and during the Coverage Period, then you agree to provide the Company with two (2) weeks advance written notice of your intent to do so, and also to provide the Company with accurate information concerning the nature of your anticipated job responsibilities in sufficient detail to allow the Company to meaningfully exercise its rights under this paragraph. After receipt of such notice, the Company may then agree, in its sole, absolute, and unreviewable discretion, to waive, modify, or condition its rights under this Section 8. In particular, the Company may agree to modify Section 8(d)(i) if the Company concludes that (1) the work you will be performing for a Competitor is different from the work you were performing during your employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates; and/or (2) there is no reasonable risk that you will (willfully, inadvertently or inevitably) use or disclose Proprietary or Confidential Information.


(iii) Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, you will not be subject to the non-competition obligations of Section 8(d) if the termination of your employment with the Company constitutes an Involuntary Termination or, if applicable to you, termination by you for “good reason” under the terms of any applicable employment agreement or other agreement or Company plan.

(e) Non-Solicitation of Business Partners. You acknowledge that, by virtue of your employment by the Company or its Affiliates, you have gained or will gain knowledge of the identity, characteristics, and preferences of the Company’s Business Partners, among other Proprietary or Confidential Information, and that you would inevitably have to draw on such information if you were to solicit or service the Company’s Business Partners on behalf of a Competitor. Accordingly, during your employment and the Coverage Period, you agree not to, directly or indirectly, solicit the business of or perform any services of the type you performed or sell any products of the type you sold during your employment with the Company for or to actual or prospective Business Partners of the Company (i) as to which you performed services, sold products or as to which employees or persons under your supervision or authority performed such services, or had direct contact, or (ii) as to which you had access to Proprietary or Confidential Information during the course of your employment by the Company, or in any manner encourage or induce any such actual or prospective Business Partner to cease doing business with or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company and its Affiliates and such actual or prospective Business Partner. You further agree that during your employment and the Covered Period, you will not encourage or assist any Competitor to solicit or service any actual or prospective Business Partners or otherwise seek to encourage or induce any Business Partners to cease doing business with, or reduce the extent of its business dealings with the Company.

(f) Non-Interference. During your employment and the Coverage Period, you agrees that you shall not, directly or indirectly, induce or encourage any Business Partner or other third party, including any provider of goods or services to the Company, to terminate or diminish its business relationship with the Company; nor will you take any other action that could, directly or indirectly, be detrimental to the Company’s relationships with its Business Partners and providers of goods or services or other business affiliates or that could otherwise interfere with the Company’s business.

(g) Non-Disparagement. You agree during and following employment not to make, or cause to be made, any statement, observation, or opinion, or communicate any information (whether oral or written, directly or indirectly) that (i) accuses or implies that the Company or its Affiliates engaged in any wrongful, unlawful or improper conduct, whether relating to your employment (or the termination thereof), the business or operations of the Company or its Affiliates, or otherwise; or (ii) disparages, impugns, or in any way reflects adversely upon the business or reputation of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Nothing herein will be deemed to preclude you from providing truthful testimony or information pursuant to subpoena, court order, or similar legal process, instituting and pursuing legal action, or engaging in other legally protected speech or other activities as set forth in Section 8(i) below.

(h) Breach. You acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Award Notice are fair, reasonable, and necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company, that the Company will suffer irreparable harm in the event of any actual or threatened breach by you, and that it is difficult to measure in money the damages which will accrue to the Company by reason of a failure by you to perform any of your obligations under this Section 8. Accordingly, if the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates institutes any action or proceeding to enforce their rights under this Section 8, to the extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby waive the claim or defense that the Company or its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law, you shall not claim that any such remedy at law exists, and you consent to the entry of a restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other preliminary, provisional, or permanent court order to enforce this Award Notice, and expressly waives any security that might otherwise be required in connection with such relief. You also agree that any request for such


relief by the Company shall be in addition and without prejudice to any claim for monetary damages and/or other relief which the Company might elect to assert. In the event you violate any provision of this Section 8, the Company shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses of enforcement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the time periods set forth above shall be extended for the period of time you remain in violation of the provisions.

(i) Protected Rights. You understand that nothing contained in this Award Notice limits your ability to report possible violations of law or regulation to, or file a charge or complaint with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Department of Justice, the Congress, any Inspector General, or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). You further understand that this Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company.

The masculine gender, where appearing in the Program, shall be deemed to include the feminine gender. The headings of Articles, Sections, and Paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience.

Any reference in the Program to a period or number of days, weeks, months, or years shall mean, respectively, calendar days, calendar weeks, calendar months, or calendar years unless expressly provided otherwise.

III. ADMINISTRATION

3.1 Administration by the Administrator. The Program shall be administered by the Administrator, so that (i) Awards made to, and the administration (or interpretation of any provision) of the Program as it relates to, any person who is subject to Section 16, shall be made or effected by the Committee, and (ii) Awards made to, and the administration (or interpretation of any provision) of the Program as it relates to, any person who is not subject to Section 16, shall be made or effected by the Committee or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or, if the Chief Executive Officer is not a director of the Company, the Committee), unless the Program specifies that the Committee shall take specific action (in which case such action may only be taken by the Committee) or the Committee (as to any Award described in this clause (ii) or the administration or interpretation of any specific provision of the Program) specifies that it shall serve as Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may from time to time in its discretion put any conditions and restrictions on the powers that may be exercised by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company in his or her capacity as Administrator. The action of a majority of the members of the Committee shall be the act of the Committee.

Within 90 days after the first day of each Performance Period or, if applicable, a sub-performance period (or such earlier date if required for a performance goal to be considered pre-established under section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent applicable):

(i) the Committee shall establish in writing for purposes of the Program [the applicable Entry Level, Change of Control Level, Target Level and Stretch Level for the Performance Measure(s) as selected by the Committee for each such Performance Period, provided, that, in each case, the Stretch Level shall be equal to or higher than the Target Level, which in turn shall be equal to or higher than the Entry Level; and

(ii) the Administrator shall establish in writing the Entry Level RSU Percentage, Target Level RSU Percentage and Stretch Level RSU Percentage for each Participant with respect to such Performance Period and with respect to each Performance Measure, as applicable (provided, however, that the Administrator may select a Participant to participate and establish the percentages under this clause (ii) after such 90-day period), and each of the items established under this clause (ii) may, but are not required to, be established by officer level; and


(iii) the Committee shall establish in writing the Maximum Payment Amount, if any, applicable to each RSU subject to an Award for such Performance Period.

The targets and other amounts established by the Administrator pursuant to the preceding sentence shall in each case be subject to adjustment as determined by the Administrator in its discretion as a result of changes in accounting principles and other significant extraordinary items or events; provided that in respect of any Award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code, such adjustments may only be made if and to the extent permitted by section 162(m) of the Code.

3.2 Powers of the Administrator. The Administrator shall supervise the administration and enforcement of the Program according to the terms and provisions hereof and shall have the sole discretionary authority and all of the powers necessary to accomplish these purposes. The Administrator (which shall be limited solely to the Committee to the extent provided in the Program) shall have all of the powers specified for it under the Program, including, without limitation, the power, right, or authority: (a) to designate an Eligible Employee as a Participant with respect to a Performance Period at any time prior to the last day of such period, (b) from time to time to establish rules and procedures for the administration of the Program, which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Program or the ICP, and any such rules and procedures shall be effective as if included in the Program, (c) to construe in its discretion all terms, provisions, conditions and limitations of the Program and any Award Notice, and to determine the number of RSUs subject to an Award to a Participant (which determination with respect to any person who is subject to Section 16 shall be made only by the Committee), (d) to correct any defect or to supply any omission or to reconcile any inconsistency that may appear in the Program or in any Award Notice in such manner and to such extent as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, (e) to determine the Entry Level, Target Level, Stretch Level, and Change of Control Level of each Performance Measure as selected by the Committee; and the Entry Level RSU Percentages, Target Level RSU Percentages and Stretch Level RSU Percentages with respect to each relevant Performance Period, (f) to determine the Maximum Payment Amount, if any, for each RSU, (g) to make determinations as to whether the Performance Goals for the various Performance Periods were satisfied, (h) to certify in writing, prior to the payment of any amount under the Program with respect to a Performance Period, whether the Performance Goals relating to such Performance Period and any other material terms of the Program have in fact been satisfied, (i) to exercise its discretion to reduce or eliminate certain Payment Amounts pursuant to Section 5.2(b), and (j) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Program.

3.3 Administrator Decisions Conclusive; Standard of Care. The Administrator shall, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith (which, for purposes of this Section 3.3, shall mean the application of reasonable business judgment), make all decisions and determinations and take all actions necessary in connection with the administration of the Program. All such decisions, determinations, and actions by the Administrator shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon all persons. However, in the event of any conflict in any such determination as


between the Committee and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, each acting in its or his capacity as Administrator of the Program, the determination of the Committee shall be conclusive. The Administrator shall not be liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith or upon reliance in good faith on the records of the Company or information presented to the Administrator by the Company’s officers, employees, or other persons (including the Company’s outside auditors) as to matters the Administrator reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence. If a Participant disagrees with any decision, determination, or action made or taken by the Administrator, then the dispute will be limited to whether the Administrator has satisfied its duty to make such decision or determination or take such action in good faith. No liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by any past, present or future stockholders, officers, directors or employees, as such, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under or by reason of the Program or the administration thereof, and each Participant, in consideration of receiving benefits and participating hereunder, expressly waives and releases any and all claims relating to any such liability.

IV. PARTICIPATION AND AWARD NOTICES

4.1 Participation. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee on the first day of a Performance Period or who becomes an Eligible Employee after the first day of a Performance Period shall become a Participant and receive an Award with respect to such Performance Period only if such individual is selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion for participation in the Program with respect to such Performance Period prior to the last day of such Performance Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Payment Amounts with respect to an Award for an individual who becomes a Participant with respect to such Award after the first day of the related Performance Period shall be pro-rated based on a fraction, the numerator of which is (except as otherwise provided in Article V) the number of days during the period beginning on the date of such Participant’s commencement of participation in the Program for such Performance Period and ending on the last day of such Performance Period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Performance Period.

4.2 Award Notices. The Company shall provide an Award Notice to each Eligible Employee who becomes a Participant with respect to a Performance Period within 90 days after such Eligible Employee becomes such a Participant. The Administrator shall determine in each case the number of RSUs subject to the Award as of the date of grant of the Award. Each Award Notice shall specify (a) the Performance Period to which the Award relates, (b) the applicable Entry Level, Target Level, Stretch Level and Change of Control Level applicable to each Performance Measure as has been selected by the Committee with respect to such Award, (c) the number of RSUs subject to the Award as of the date of grant of the Award, (d) the applicable Vested Percentages set forth in Section 2.1(hh) with respect to the Participant, and (e) the Maximum Payment Amount, if any, applicable to the Award.

V. AWARD PAYMENTS

5.1 Determinations and Certification by the Committee. As soon as administratively feasible after the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall determine whether a Performance Goal has been achieved for such Performance Period and, if so, the level of such achievement. The Committee’s determination as to whether the applicable


Performance Goal for a Performance Period has been satisfied shall be certified by the Committee in writing (including by electronic mail transmission) prior to the settlement of Awards with respect to such Performance Period. For purposes of the preceding sentence, approved minutes of the Committee meeting in which the certification is made shall be treated as a written certification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each written certification by the Committee (including a certification by electronic email transmission) under this Section 5.1 shall be made by a date which will permit the Company to comply with the time of payment requirements of Sections 5.2 and 5.3 (after giving effect to the provisions of Section 5.7). Subject to Section 5.2(b), the Committee shall not exercise its discretion under Section 6(e)(vi)(D) of the ICP to reduce or eliminate the amount of a payment otherwise due under the Program.

5.2 Eligibility for Payment of Awards.

(a) In General. Subject to Section 5.2(b) and the delayed payment restrictions of Section 5.6, upon the Committee’s written certification in accordance with Section 5.1 that the applicable Performance Goal for a Performance Period has been satisfied, each Participant who has received an Award with respect to such Performance Period, who has remained continuously employed by the Company from the date he or she received such Award until the last day of such Performance Period and who has not surrendered such Award to the Company shall be entitled to the Payment Amount applicable to such Participant’s Award for such Performance Period. Except as provided in Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, if a Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason whatsoever prior to the last day of a Performance Period, then such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any payment under the Program with respect to his or her Award for such Performance Period, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. Payment of the amount to which a Participant becomes entitled pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be made by the Company no later than March 15 of the year following the end of the applicable Performance Period.

(b) Negative Discretion. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2(a) and, except as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3(b), (i) the Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate any Payment Amount with respect to a Performance Period that is otherwise payable pursuant to such Sections if the Committee determines in its discretion that such reduction or elimination is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company based on the Company’s unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short term investments and cash readily accessible under the Company’s unused lines of credit as of the end of such Performance Period; provided, however, that any such reduction or elimination shall apply in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to all Participants who are, but for the application of this paragraph, entitled to receive a Payment Amount under such Sections with respect to such Performance Period and (ii) the Committee shall have the right to reduce any Payment Amount with respect to a Performance Period that is otherwise payable if such reduction is made in accordance with and to implement the 162(m)-design of the Program. The Committee shall not have the right to reduce or eliminate any Payment Amount that is payable pursuant to Section 5.3(a), Section 5.4 or, following a Change of Control, Section 5.3(b).


(c) Maximum Payment Amount Limitation. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5.2 or the provisions of Sections 5.3 and 5.4, in no event shall the payments under the Program to a Participant with respect to an RSU subject to an Award exceed an amount equal to the Maximum Payment Amount, if any, applicable to such RSU. To the extent that any payment provided under the Program with respect to an RSU (determined without regard to the limitation described in the preceding sentence) would exceed the limitation described in the preceding sentence, then such excess shall not be paid under the Program and the holder of such RSU shall have no rights or entitlements to any such excess amount.

5.3 Death, Disability or Retirement During a Performance Period.

(a) Death or Disability. If, during a Performance Period with respect to which a Participant has received an Award, such Participant dies or becomes Disabled, then as to such Participant only (i) the Performance Goal for each Performance Period that began prior to the date of such Participant’s death or Disability and which has not ended as of such date shall be deemed to have been satisfied (determined based upon achievement of the Target Level of performance as applicable to such Award), and (ii) the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall cease to apply with respect to such Performance Period. With respect to each Performance Period that began prior to the date of such Participant’s death or Disability and which has not ended as of such date with respect to which the Target Levels of performance have been deemed satisfied in the manner described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Participant (or, in the case of death, such Participant’s estate) shall (A) receive a payment from the Company, as soon as administratively practicable after the date of such Participant’s death or Disability (but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which occurred the Participant’s death or Disability), equal to the relevant Payment Amount applicable to such Participant’s Award for such Performance Period (determined as if the Payment Computation Date occurred on the date such Participant died or became Disabled) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the first day of such Performance Period and ending on the date such Participant died or became Disabled, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Performance Period, and (B) not be entitled to any additional payment under the Program with respect to such Performance Period.

(b) Retirement. If a Participant Retires during a Performance Period, then such Participant shall (i) obtain a Vested Percentage with respect to each related Award based on the actual level of performance achieved (or, if Section 5.4(a) applies to any corresponding Award held by a Participant who has not terminated employment, then based on the deemed achievement of the Change of Control Level established with respect to the applicable Performance Measure as established by the Committee with respect to such Award), and (ii) subject to Section 5.2(b), receive a Payment Amount with respect to each such Award if and at the same time as payments are made to other Participants who have received corresponding Awards and who have not terminated employment (or, if earlier, no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which a Change of Control occurs), subject, however, to proration based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the first day of the Performance Period and ending on the date such Participant Retired, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire related Performance Period.


(c) Change of Control. The preceding provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be applicable to a Participant who dies, becomes Disabled or Retires on or after the date upon which a Change of Control occurs.

5.4 Change of Control During a Performance Period.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, with respect to each Participant who is employed by the Company on the day immediately preceding the date of such Change of Control, (i) the Performance Goal for each Performance Period that began prior to the date of such Change of Control and which has not ended as of such date shall be deemed to have been achieved at the Change of Control Level established with respect to the applicable Performance Measure as established by the Committee with respect to such Award for such Performance Period and (ii) the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall cease to apply.

(b) With respect to a Performance Period described in Section 5.4(a), on or before the Applicable Payment Date (as defined below) following the end of each calendar year in such Performance Period ending on or after the date of such Change of Control, each Retirement Eligible Participant (as defined below) with respect to such calendar year who has received an Award with respect to such Performance Period shall receive a payment from the Company equal to (i) the Payment Amount applicable to such Participant’s Award for such Performance Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the first day of the Performance Period and ending on the last day of such calendar year, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Performance Period, minus (ii) the aggregate payments, if any, made to such Participant pursuant to this paragraph with respect to prior calendar years. For purposes of the preceding sentence, (A) the “Applicable Payment Date” with respect to a calendar year shall mean March 15 of the year following the end of such calendar year, and (B) a Participant shall be considered a “Retirement Eligible Participant” with respect to a calendar year if such Participant was eligible to Retire during such year and did not suffer a Qualifying Event, die, become Disabled or Retire during such year.

(c) If a Change of Control occurs and on the date thereof or thereafter during a Performance Period described in Section 5.4(a) a Participant who has received an Award with respect to such Performance Period suffers a Qualifying Event or dies, becomes Disabled, or Retires, then, with respect to such Performance Period, such Participant (or, in the case of death, such Participant’s estate) shall (i) no later than March 15 of the year following the occurrence of the Qualifying Event, death, Disability or Retirement, receive a payment from the Company equal to (A) the Payment Amount applicable to such Participant’s Award for such Performance Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the first day of the Performance Period and ending on the date such Participant died, became Disabled, Retired or suffered the Qualifying Event, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Performance Period, minus (B) the aggregate payments, if any, made or payable to such Participant pursuant to Section 5.4(b) with respect to calendar years that ended prior to the date of such Participant’s Qualifying Event, death, Disability or Retirement, and (ii) not be entitled to any additional payment under the Program with respect to such Performance Period (other than any unpaid amount owed to such Participant pursuant to Section 5.4(b) with respect to a calendar year that ended prior to the date of such Participant’s Qualifying Event, death, Disability or Retirement).


(d) With respect to a Participant who received an Award with respect to a Performance Period described in Section 5.4(a), who did not die, become Disabled, Retire or suffer a Qualifying Event during such Performance Period and who remained continuously employed by the Company from the date he or she received such Award until the last day of such Performance Period, such Participant shall receive a payment from the Company on or before March 15 of the year following the last day of such Performance Period in an amount equal to (i) the Payment Amount applicable to such Participant’s Award for such Performance Period, minus (ii) the aggregate payments, if any, made or payable to such Participant pursuant to Section 5.4(b) with respect to such Award.

5.5 Form of Payment of Awards. The Committee shall specify in the Award Notice whether the Award shall be settled in cash or shares of Common Stock.

5.6 Delayed Payment Restriction. With respect to a Participant who is identified as a specified employee (within the meaning of section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and as determined by the Company in accordance with any of the methods permitted under the regulations issued under section 409A of the Code) and who is to receive a payment hereunder (which payment is not a “short-term deferral” for purposes of section 409A of the Code) on account of such Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and applicable administrative guidance thereunder, but excluding a separation from service by reason of death), the payment to such Participant shall not be made prior to the earlier of (a) the date that is six months after the Participant’s termination of employment or (b) the date of death of the Participant. In such event, any payment to which the Participant would have otherwise been entitled during the first six months following the Participant’s termination of employment (or, if earlier, prior to the Participant’s date of death) shall be accumulated and paid in the form of a single lump sum payment to the Participant on the date that is six months after the Participant’s termination of employment or to the Participant’s estate on the date of the Participant’s death, as applicable.

5.7 Time of Payment Obligations. Any obligation hereunder to make a payment on a specified date shall be deemed to have been satisfied in the event that such payment is made within five business days after such specified date; provided, however, that, with respect to a payment that is intended to qualify as a “short-term deferral” under section 409A of the Code, in no event shall such payment be made later than the date required in order for such payment to so qualify. Each payment under an Award granted under this Program shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of section 409A of the Code.

VI. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF PROGRAM

6.1 Termination and Amendment. Subject to the terms of this Section 6.1, the Committee may amend the Program at any time and from time to time, and the Committee may at any time terminate the Program (in its entirety or as it applies to one or more specified Subsidiaries) with respect to Performance Periods that have not commenced as of the date of such Committee action; provided, however, that, (a) except as provided in the following sentence, the Program may not be amended in a manner that would materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to any outstanding Award without the consent of such Participant, and (b) to the extent required by section 409A of the Code, the Program may not be amended or


terminated in a manner that would give rise to an impermissible acceleration of the time or form of a payment of a benefit under the Program pursuant to section 409A(a)(3) of the Code and any regulations or guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding anything in the Program or an Award Notice to the contrary, if the Committee determines that the terms of the Program and/or any Award Notice do not, in whole or in part, satisfy the requirements of section 409A of the Code (or the requirements for an exemption to the application of section 409A of the Code), then the Committee, in its sole discretion, may unilaterally modify the Program and any such Award Notice in such manner as it deems appropriate to comply with such section and any regulations or guidance issued thereunder (or to qualify for an exemption to the application of such section). No Participant’s participation herein may be terminated in contemplation of or in connection with a Change of Control. The Program may not be amended or terminated in contemplation of or in connection with a Change of Control unless adequate and effective provision for the making of all payments otherwise payable pursuant to Section 5.4 (as in effect on the date of the grant of the affected Award) with respect to such Change of Control shall be made in connection with any such amendment or termination. The Committee shall remain in existence after the termination of the Program for the period determined necessary by the Committee to facilitate the termination of the Program and the payment of any outstanding Awards hereunder, and all provisions of the Program that are necessary, in the opinion of the Committee, for equitable operation of the Program during such period shall remain in force.

VII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

7.1 No Effect on Employment Relationship. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, for all purposes of the Program, a Participant shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as he or she has not incurred a separation from service with the Company and its affiliates within the meaning of section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder; provided, however, that whether such a separation from service has occurred shall be determined based upon a reasonably anticipated permanent reduction in the level of bona fide services to be performed to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services provided in the immediately preceding 36 months. Nothing in the adoption of the Program, the grant of Awards, or the payment of amounts under the Program shall confer on any person the right to continued employment by the Company or any Subsidiary or affect in any way the right of the Company (or a Subsidiary, if applicable) to terminate such employment at any time. Unless otherwise provided in a written employment agreement, the employment of each Participant shall be on an at-will basis, and the employment relationship may be terminated at any time by either the Participant or the Participant’s employer for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of a Participant’s employment for purposes of the Program, and the reason for such termination, shall be determined solely by and in the discretion of the Administrator, and its determination shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all parties.

7.2 Prohibition Against Assignment or Encumbrance. No Award or other right, title, interest, or benefit hereunder shall ever be assignable or transferable, or liable for, or charged with any of the torts or obligations of a Participant or any person claiming under a Participant, or be subject to seizure by any creditor of a Participant or any person claiming under a Participant. No Participant or any person claiming under a Participant shall have the power to anticipate or dispose of any Award or other right, title, interest, or benefit hereunder in any


manner until the same shall have actually been distributed free and clear of the terms of the Program. Payments with respect to an Award shall be payable only to the Participant (or (a) in the event of a Disability that renders such Participant incapable of conducting his or her own affairs, any payment due under the Program to such Participant shall be made to his or her duly appointed legal representative and (b) in the event of the death of a Participant, any payment due under the Program to such Participant shall be made to his or her estate). Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, the Administrator shall comply with the terms of any qualified domestic relations order providing for the transfer or assignment of all or any portion of a Participant’s interest under the Program. The provisions of the Program shall be binding on all successors and permitted assigns of a Participant, including without limitation the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.

7.3 Unfunded, Unsecured Program. The Program shall constitute an unfunded, unsecured obligation of the Company to make payments of incentive compensation to certain individuals from its general assets in accordance with the Program. Each Award granted under the Program merely constitutes a mechanism for measuring such incentive compensation and does not constitute a property right or interest in the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their assets. Neither the establishment of the Program, the granting of Awards, nor any other action taken in connection with the Program shall be deemed to create an escrow or trust fund of any kind.

7.4 No Rights of Participant. No Participant shall have any security or other interest in any assets or stock of the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of participation in the Program (except after payment thereof to the Participant). Participants and all persons claiming under Participants shall rely solely on the unsecured promise of the Company set forth herein, and nothing in the Program, an Award or an Award Notice shall be construed to give a Participant or anyone claiming under a Participant any right, title, interest, or claim in or to any specific asset, fund, entity, reserve, account, or property of any kind whatsoever owned by the Company or any Subsidiary or in which the Company or any Subsidiary may have an interest now or in the future; but each Participant shall have the right to enforce any claim hereunder in the same manner as a general creditor. Neither the establishment of the Program nor participation hereunder shall create any right in any Participant to make any decision, or provide input with respect to any decision, relating to the business of the Company or any Subsidiary.

7.5 Clawback. Notwithstanding any provision in the Program to the contrary, the payments and benefits provided under the Program shall be subject to a clawback to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law including, without limitation, the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any Securities and Exchange Commission rule.

7.6 Tax Withholding. The Company and the Subsidiaries shall deduct and withhold, or cause to be withheld, from a Participant’s payment made under the Program, or from any other payment to such Participant, an amount necessary to satisfy any and all tax withholding obligations arising under applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws associated with such payment. The Company and the Subsidiaries may take any other action as may in their opinion be necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment and withholding of such taxes.


7.7 No Effect on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Program or any Participant’s Award or Award Notice shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements affecting any Participant. Nothing in the Program shall be construed to affect the provisions of any other compensation plan or program maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary.

7.8 Subsidiaries. The Company may require any Subsidiary employing a Participant to assume and guarantee the Company’s obligations hereunder to such Participant, either at all times or solely in the event that such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary.

7.9 Governing Law. The Program shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

(a) “Industry Group” means, with respect to each Performance Period, the companies determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Exhibit A for such Performance Period.

(b) “Industry Pre-tax Margin” with respect to a Performance Period means, as established by the Committee within 90 days after the commencement of the Performance Period (but in no event after the date required for a Performance Goal to be considered pre-established under section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent applicable), either:

 

  (A) the percentage determined by dividing (i) the cumulative Pre-tax Income of all companies in the Industry Group for such Performance Period by (ii) all such companies’ cumulative revenues (determined on a consolidated basis based on the regularly prepared and publicly available statements of operations of the companies prepared in accordance with applicable accounting rules) over such Performance Period; or

 

  (B) (i) the percentage determined under clause (A) above, minus (ii) the percentage determined by dividing (a) the cumulative Pre-tax Income of all companies in the Industry Group for the calendar year immediately preceding the first day of such Performance Period by (b) all such companies’ cumulative revenues (determined on a consolidated basis based on the regularly prepared and publicly available statements of operations of the companies prepared in accordance with applicable accounting rules) over such calendar year (with the calculation in this clause (B) representing the Industry Group average Pre-tax Margin change over the Performance Period).

If the fiscal year of a company in the Industry Group is not the calendar year, then such company’s cumulative revenues for a Performance Period shall be determined based upon the fiscal quarters of such company that coincide with the fiscal quarters contained in such Performance Period.


(c) “Pre-tax Income” means, with respect to the Company and each company in the Industry Group and each Performance Period, the aggregate consolidated net income adjusted to exclude reported income taxes of the Company or such company for such Performance Period. Pre-tax Income shall be determined based on the regularly prepared and publicly available statements of operations of the Company and each company in the Industry Group prepared in accordance with applicable accounting rules; provided, however, that Pre-tax Income shall be adjusted to exclude (i) write-offs of assets (including aircraft and associated parts), (ii) one-time gains or losses from the disposal of assets, and (iii) any other item of gain, income, loss, or expense determined to be special, extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence, in each case under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) as determined by the Committee in accordance with applicable accounting rules. If the fiscal year of a company in the Industry Group is not the calendar year, then such company’s Pre-tax Income for a Performance Period shall be determined based upon the fiscal quarters of such company that coincide with the fiscal quarters in such Performance Period.

(d) “Pre-tax Margin” with respect to the Company and with respect to a Performance Period means, as established by the Committee within 90 days after the commencement of the Performance Period (but in no event after the date required for a Performance Goal to be considered pre-established under section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent applicable), either:

(A) the cumulative Pre-tax Income for the Company for such Performance Period divided by the Company’s cumulative revenues (determined on a consolidated basis based on the regularly prepared and publicly available statements of operations of the Company prepared in accordance with applicable accounting rules) over such Performance Period; provided, however, that, such cumulative revenues shall be adjusted to exclude any item determined to be special, extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence as determined by the Committee in accordance with applicable accounting rules; or

(B) (i) the percentage determined under clause (A) above, minus (ii) the percentage determined by dividing (a) the cumulative Pre-tax Income of the Company for the calendar year immediately preceding the commencement of such Performance Period by (b) the Company’s cumulative revenues (determined as provided in clause (A) above) over such calendar year (with the calculation in this clause (B) representing the Company’s average Pre-tax Margin change over the Performance Period).

Performance-Based RSU Program (as amended from time to time, the “Program”) adopted under the United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended from time to time, the “ICP”). This Award Notice evidences your receipt of an award of RSUs under the Program with respect to the performance period commencing on January 1, 20[    ] and ending on December 31, 20[__] (the “Performance Period”) and with respect to Performance Goals based on the Company’s achievement of relative pre-tax margin performance.

2. Number of RSUs; Performance Measure and Performance Goals. The Committee has established certain Performance Goals for RSUs under the Program. The Committee has established the following terms and Performance Goals with respect to your Award:

(a) RSUs. The number of RSUs subject to this Award as of the effective date of grant is              (stretch level).

(b) Performance Measure and Performance Goal. Achievement of the Performance Goal for the Performance Period means that the Pre-tax Margin achieved by the Company with respect to the Performance Period equals or exceeds the Entry Level for the Performance Period. The Entry Level, Target Level, and Stretch Level are as follows:

 

  i. Entry Level Pre-tax Margin generally means [(A)] the percentage determined by dividing the cumulative Pre-tax Income of all companies in the Industry Group (currently [                        ]) for the Performance Period by all such companies’ cumulative revenues over such period [(B) minus the percentage determined by dividing the cumulative Pre-tax Income of the Industry Group for calendar year [            ] by the cumulative revenues of the Industry Group for such year (as more specifically defined in the Program, the “Industry Pre-Tax Margin”) [[plus][minus] [            ] Basis Points)]1;

 

  ii. Target Level Pre-tax Margin is equal to Industry Pre-tax Margin plus [            ] Basis Points; and

 

  iii. Stretch Level Pre-tax Margin is equal to Industry Pre-tax Margin plus [            ] Basis Points.

 

1  Insert clause (B) if the Committee establishes the Pre-tax Margin goals for the Performance Period with reference to relative change versus the Industry Group.


If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, then the Company’s Pre-tax Margin for the Performance Period will be deemed to equal Target Level Pre-tax Margin.

(c) [Overall Performance Goal. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program or this Award (except in the case of a Change of Control), in order for the restrictions on the RSUs to lapse, the Company must achieve as a Performance Goal not less than [$                of [                ] during the period beginning                 and ending                 , as determined by the Committee based on the Company’s [            ] financial statements].]2

3. Payout upon Achievement of Goal.

(a) Payment Amount. If the Pre-tax Margin for the Performance Period equals or exceeds the Entry Level Pre-tax Margin for the Performance Period and you have remained continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary through the end of the Performance Period, then the Payment Amount with respect to this Award will be an amount equal to (i) the number of RSUs subject to your Award for the Performance Period, multiplied by (ii) your Vested Percentage for the Performance Period, multiplied by (iii) the Fair Market Value of the Company Stock as of the Payment Computation Date for the Performance Period (which is generally the last day of the Performance Period, subject to limited exceptions). [Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the payment under the Program with respect to an RSU subject to this Award exceed an amount equal to $        (the “Maximum Payment Amount”), which amount is subject to adjustment as provided in the Program.]3

(b) Vested Percentage. Your Vested Percentage with respect to the Performance Period will be determined in accordance with the following table (straight line interpolation will be used between levels):

 

Level of Pre-tax Margin Achieved

  

Vested Percentage

Entry        % (Entry Level RSU Percentage)
Target        % (Target Level RSU Percentage)
Stretch (or higher)        % (Stretch Level RSU Percentage)

4. Continuous Employment Required. Receipt of a Payment Amount is conditioned on your continuous employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries through the last day of the Performance Period (with limited exceptions, as described in the Program).

5. Pro-Rated Payment. Your Payment Amount may be prorated as provided in the Program under certain circumstances.

2  [This provision to be included if the Committee establishes an additional performance goal for the Award.]
3 

[The Maximum Payment Amount will be included if established by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Program at the time the Award is granted.]


Award Notice if the Committee determines in its discretion that such reduction or elimination is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company based on the Company’s unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments and cash readily accessible under the Company’s unused lines of credit as of the end of the Performance Period; provided, however, that any such reduction or elimination shall apply in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to all Participants who are otherwise entitled to receive a Payment Amount with respect to the Performance Period.
