Pursuant to Part III, Section 8.1 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (the “IAM”), the holder of the share of the Company’s Class IAM Junior Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, has the right to elect one member to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at each annual meeting of stockholders, remove such director with or without cause and fill any vacancies in such directorship. Sito Pantoja has occupied the IAM director position on the Board since March 2016, and the Company appreciated his service during that time.
As previously disclosed, on June 22, 2021, Mr. Pantoja tendered his resignation from the Board. The IAM notified the Company on July 2, 2021 that the IAM is designating Richard Johnsen to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Pantoja’s departure, effective July 6, 2021. At this time, the Board has not yet designated any committees of the Board upon which Mr. Johnsen will serve. As a director elected by a class of stock other than our common stock, Mr. Johnsen will not be entitled to receive any cash or equity compensation from the Company, but will be entitled to receive certain travel benefits related to service as a director. For a description of such travel benefits, see "2020 Director Compensation" in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 26, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2021. Other than pursuant to the rights of the IAM described above, Mr. Johnsen is not a party to any arrangement or understanding with any person pursuant to which he was appointed a director, nor is he a party to any transaction requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
