Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 8, 2013, United Continental Holdings, Inc. (“UAL”) issued in a public offering $300,000,000 principal amount of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), which are guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by UAL’s wholly-owned subsidiary United Airlines, Inc. (“United”). The Notes and Guarantee were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 7, 2013 (the “Indenture”), among UAL, United and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as modified and supplemented for purposes of establishing the terms of the Notes by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 8, 2013 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), among UAL, United and the Trustee.
The Notes will mature on December 1, 2020. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.000% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning June 1, 2014. The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of events of default under the Indenture, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, which are customary for securities of this nature. UAL, at its option, may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (2) a make-whole amount based on the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes discounted to the redemption date using a rate based on comparable U.S. Treasury securities plus 50 basis points, plus in either case accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The Second Supplemental Indenture is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.2, and is incorporated by reference herein. The form of the Notes and the form of the Notation of Note Guarantee are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.3 and 4.4, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing descriptions of the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantee are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.
The issuance of the Notes and the Guarantee was registered pursuant to UAL’s and United’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-181014 and 333-181014-1), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2012. The material terms of the Notes and the Guarantee are more fully described in the final Prospectus Supplement, dated November 1, 2013, to the Prospectus, dated April 27, 2012, of UAL and United filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which description is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
