(4)       The total weighted-average exercise price does not include the 136,168 shares referred to in footnote 2, for which there is no exercise price.
 
 
 
 
 
 

1995 Directors Plan

        Under the 1995 Directors Plan, each outside director is granted 400 shares of common stock and 189 deferred stock units (each unit representing the right to receive a share of common stock at a future date) during each year that he or she is an outside director of UAL.  If any outside director is not a director for the entire calendar year, such director's award of deferred stock units will be prorated.  Each outside director may elect to forego the receipt of all or any portion of cash fees payable to him or her for service as a director (i.e., meeting fees and committee fees) and instead receive shares of common stock equivalent in value to the cash fees based on the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the cash fee is payable to the director.  The outside directors may also elect to defer the receipt of cash fees payable to the director as well as the stock award and the deferred stock units to be granted to the director in any year, which deferral may be paid after the director leaves the Board, either as a lump sum or in ten or less annual payments.  The 1995 Directors Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of common stock (either through use of treasury shares or open market purchases) and, as of December 31, 2002, 41,372 shares remained available for future awards.

2002 Share Incentive Plan

        The 2002 Share Incentive Plan permits the award of nonqualified stock options and restricted shares to participants as well as stock appreciation rights.  The exercise price of a nonqualified stock option cannot be less than the fair market value of a share of UAL common stock on the date of grant and the exercise period cannot exceed ten years.  Restricted shares issued under the 2002 Share Incentive Plan vest over a time period established by the applicable committee (not to exceed ten years) and are subject to certain transfer restrictions and forfeiture under certain circumstances prior to vesting.  In addition, the Compensation Committee or the Compensation Administration Committee may grant to participants other awards, including dividends and dividend equivalents and other awards that are valued in whole or part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, the fair market value of shares of UAL common stock.  The 2002 Share Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of 12,500,000 shares of common stock as well as 267,366 shares that were available for issuance as awards under the 1998 Restricted Stock Plan as of July 31, 2002 and, as of December 31, 2002, approximately 11,942,366 shares remained available for future awards under the 2002 Share Incentive Plan.  Only treasury shares may be issued under the 2002 Share Incentive Plan.  The terms of the 2002 Share Incentive Plan also provides that any shares awarded under the 1998 Restricted Stock Plan or the 2002 Share Incentive Plan that are subsequently forfeited, expired or canceled without the delivery of shares of common stock or withheld by UAL to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations will be available again for issuance under the plan.

Gerald Greenwald Option Shares

        On July 12, 1994, UAL entered into an employment agreement with Gerald Greenwald, UAL's then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Greenwald received options to acquire 800,000 shares of UAL common stock (post-stock split).  The exercise price for the options is $22.53, which was the fair market value for the UAL common stock on July 12, 1994.  The options were to vest over a five-year period, but vested earlier in connection with the termination of Mr. Greenwald's employment with UAL.  To date, all 800,000 of the options received by Mr. Greenwald are outstanding.  The options are due to expire on July 11, 2004.
 
 

United Employees Performance Incentive Plan

        Under the terms of the United Employees Performance Incentive Plan (referred to as PIP), participants may receive additional cash compensation if the Company meets specified performance criteria and the employee's individual performance warrants additional compensation.  Prior to the beginning of each year, the Company's Compensation Committee establishes a threshold level of pre-tax profit margin that the Company must obtain before any award may be made under the PIP for that year.  The Compensation Committee also determines the appropriate individual performance objectives for each year that are related to specified areas, including financial performance, operational performance or customer satisfaction.

        Under the PIP, an incentive award is typically paid in cash following the end of a calendar year; however, certain key employees are allowed to elect to defer receipt of their incentive award and can elect to receive their deferred incentive award in UAL common stock (treasury shares or shares purchased in the open market).  The amount of the stock to be paid to each employee is equal to the amount of the incentive award divided by the fair market value of the stock (using a five-day average share price) determined as of the date the incentive award would have been paid in cash but for the deferral election.  Under the PIP, any employee who defers his or her receipt of the incentive award for five or more years will also be credited with an additional amount equal to the 20% of the incentive award.  The Compensation Administration Committee administers the plan with respect to any "officer" as defined in the Exchange Act rules and the Compensation Committee administers the plan with respect to all other participants.  There is no fixed number of shares available for issuance under this plan.  In 2000, UAL's shareholders approved the portion of the PIP relating to any "covered award" that could result in the application of Section 162(m) of the Code.
