ITEM 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 27, 2005, the Board of Directors of UAL Corporation (the "Company") adopted an amendment (the "Amendment") to the UAL Corporation 1995 Directors Plan (the "Plan"). The changes in the Plan were designed to comply with the enactment of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and to be consistent with the treatment of the Plan under the Joint Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") filed by the Company and twenty-seven of its U.S.-based subsidiaries, including United Air Lines, Inc., with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois on September 7, 2005.
Under the terms of the Amendment, outside directors of the Company will no longer be awarded deferred stock units under the Plan and, effective as of January 1, 2005, the Company's outside directors will cease to have the right to make a deferral election under the Plan. However, deferral elections that were effective prior to January 1, 2005 will continue until terminated in accordance with the Plan. Consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, all deferred amounts under the Plan will be distributed in a single payment of cash on the earlier to occur of an outside director's death or "separation from service" (as defined under Section 409A) and may not be accelerated unless otherwise permitted under Section 409A. In addition, upon the effective date of the Company's confirmed plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan and any rights to receive stock under the Plan will be terminated, except that eligible cash fees which have been deferred and are not subject to an election to receive stock will continue to be due under the Plan and will be payable in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
This description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment itself, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
The Plan will be terminated on such dates and such material terms as
described in Item 1.01 above.
