(e)  On April 21, 2017, United Continental Holdings, Inc. (“UCH”) and United Airlines, Inc. (collectively, the “Companies”) entered into the Second Amendment to Employment Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Oscar Munoz, the Companies’ Chief Executive Officer, amending his Employment Agreement with the Companies dated December 31, 2015, as first amended as of April 19, 2016.  The Second Amendment, which was initiated by Mr. Munoz, removes the provisions in the Employment Agreement related to the future appointment of Mr. Munoz as Chairman of the Board of Directors of UCH (the “Board”), leaving future determinations related to the Chairman position to the discretion of the Board.  As a result, the Second Amendment also modifies the definition of “Good Reason” such that the appointment of a Chairman of the Board other than Mr. Munoz, Robert A. Milton or Henry L. Meyer III would not constitute “Good Reason.”

 

The foregoing summary description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

WHEREAS, the Employers and Executive entered into an Employment Agreement, dated December 31, 2015, as amended by the Amendment to Employment Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2016 (the “Employment Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement provides that it is the expectation of the Company that Executive shall be appointed Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on the date of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders; and

 

WHEREAS, Executive desires to remove the provisions in the Employment Agreement related to the future appointment of Executive as Chairman of the Board, and to leave future determinations related to the Chairman position to the discretion of the Board, and the Board is willing to agree to such change.

2.              Effective Date.  This Second Amendment is effective as of the date first set forth above.

 

3.              Governing Law.  This Second Amendment shall be governed by the internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions) of the State of Illinois.

 

4.              Effect of Amendment.  Except as modified hereby, the Employment Agreement is reaffirmed in all respects, and all references therein to “the Agreement” shall mean the Employment Agreement, as modified hereby.

 

5.              Execution in Counterparts.  This Second Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall
