Historically its second and third quarter financial results have reflected higher travel demand, and were better than its first and fourth quarter financial results.

however, see Part I, Item 2 of this report for additional discussion regarding trends associated with the matters discussed in the "Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic" section below.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, together with the measures implemented or recommended by governmental authorities and private organizations in response to the pandemic, has had an adverse impact that has been material to the Company's business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

The Company has seen increasing demand for travel both domestically and in countries where entry is permitted;

however, as the situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, the pandemic has continued to negatively impact travel demand.

It remains difficult to reasonably assess or predict the full extent of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's longer-term operational and financial performance, which will depend on a number of future developments, many of which are outside the Company's control, such as the ultimate duration of and factors impacting the recovery from the pandemic (including the efficacy and speed of vaccination programs in curbing the spread of the virus in different markets, the introduction and spread of new variants of the virus that may be resistant to currently approved vaccines and the continuation of existing or implementation of new government travel restrictions), the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, customer behavior changes and fluctuations in demand for air travel, among others.

The Company's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic has not followed a linear path, and due to the significant uncertainty that remains, its future operating performance, particularly in the short-term, may be subject to volatility.

The Company is taking steps to be prepared for recovery as demand for travel continues to increase in line with recent customer booking trends, which include making certain investments in the recovery.

The Company cut, relative to third quarter 2019 capacity, approximately 28 % of its scheduled capacity for the third quarter of 2021 and expects its fourth quarter scheduled capacity to be down approximately 23 % versus the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Company will continue to monitor booking trends for future travel and adjust its capacity as needed.

Cost Reductions .

The Company has identified various permanent structural cost reductions including improvements in labor efficiencies.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company offered voluntary leaves of absence to certain U.S.-based front-line employees.

This program included (based on employee group, age and completed years of service) a partially-paid leave of absence with active health care coverage and travel privileges.

Employees who separate from the Company after the end of such program receive certain separation benefits, such as post-employment health benefits and travel privileges.

Approximately 4,500 employees elected to participate in this program, and it is expected that the majority of them will separate from employment at the end of their leave of absence.

See Note 5 and Note 9 of this report for additional information on charges related to these programs.

The Company entered into a number of transactions to improve its liquidity and manage its capital.

In the first nine months of 2021, the Company:

• issued, through a private offering to eligible purchasers, $ 4.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of two series of notes, consisting of $ 2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 4.375 % senior secured notes due 2026 (the "2026

Notes") and $ 2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 4.625 % senior secured notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes" and, together with the 2026 Notes, the "Notes");

• entered into a new Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "New Term Loan Facility") initially providing term loans (the "New Term Loans") up to an aggregate amount of $ 5.0 billion and a new Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "New Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the New Term Loan Facility, the "New Loan Facilities") initially providing revolving loan commitments of up to $ 1.75 billion;

• repaid in full the $ 1.4 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding under the term loan facility (the "2017 Term Loan Facility") included in the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2017 (the "Existing Credit Agreement");

• repaid in full the $ 1.0 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility (the "2017 Revolving Credit Facility") included in the Existing Credit Agreement;

• repaid in full the $ 520 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Loan and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2020, among United, UAL, the U.S.

Treasury Department ("Treasury") and the Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent, as amended (the "CARES Act Loan" and, together with the 2017 Term Loan Facility and the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility, the "Existing Loan Facilities"), which was entered into pursuant to the loan program established pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act");

• entered into approximately $ 0.6 billion in new enhanced equipment trust certificates ("EETC");

• raised approximately $ 0.5 billion in net cash proceeds from the issuance and sale of UAL common stock.

In addition to the foregoing transactions, United entered into the following agreements with Treasury:

On January 15, 2021, United entered into a Payroll Support Program Extension Agreement (the "PSP2 Agreement") with Treasury providing the Company with total funding of approximately $ 3.0 billion, pursuant to the Payroll Support Program established under Subtitle A of Title IV of Division N of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.

These funds were used to pay for the wages, salaries and benefits of United employees, including the payment of lost wages, salaries and benefits to returning employees who were previously impacted by involuntary furloughs.

Approximately $ 2.1 billion was provided as a direct grant and $ 870 million as indebtedness evidenced by a 10 -year senior unsecured promissory note (the "PSP2 Note").

See Note 2 of this report for additional information on the warrants issued in connection with the PSP2 Note and Note 8 of this report for a discussion of the PSP2 Note.

On April 29, 2021, in connection with the Payroll Support Program established under Section 7301 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, United entered into a Payroll Support Program 3 Agreement (the "PSP3 Agreement") with Treasury providing the Company with total funding of approximately $ 2.8 billion.

Approximately $ 2.0 billion was provided as a direct grant and $ 810 million as indebtedness evidenced by a 10 -year senior unsecured promissory note (the "PSP3 Note").

These funds will be used by United exclusively for the continuation of payment of its employee wages, salaries and benefits.

See Note 2 of this report for additional information on the warrants issued in connection with the PSP3 Note and Note 8 of this report for a discussion of the PSP3 Note.

The Company's Advance ticket sales liability also includes credits issued to customers on electronic travel certificates ("ETCs") and future flight credits ("FFCs"), primarily for ticket cancellations, which can be applied towards a purchase of a new ticket.

ETCs are valid up to two years from the date

however, all ETCs due to expire prior to December 31, 2022 have been extended until December 31, 2022.

ETCs are valid up to two years from the date of issuance;

however, all ETCs due to expire on or before December 31, 2022 have been extended to December 31, 2023.

FFCs are valid for 12 months from the original ticket date;

however, all FFCs issued on or before December 31, 2021 have been extended to be valid until December 31, 2022.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company's Advance ticket sales liability included $ 3.0 billion related to these ETCs and FFCs.

however, all FFCs issued on or before December 31, 2022 will be extended for travel dates through December 31, 2023.

The Company is unable to estimate the amount of the ETCs and FFCs that will be used within the next 12 months and has classified the entire amount of the Advance ticket sales liability in current liabilities even though some of the ETCs and FFCs could be used after the next 12 months.

The Company estimates the value of tickets that will expire unused ("breakage") and recognizes revenue at the scheduled flight date.

The Company estimates the value of Advance tickets sales that will expire unused ("breakage") and recognizes revenue at the scheduled flight date.

To determine breakage, the Company uses its historical experience with expired tickets and other facts, such as recent aging trends, program changes and modifications that could affect the ultimate expiration patterns of tickets.

Given the uncertainty of travel demand caused by COVID-19, a significant portion of the ETCs and FFCs may expire unused in future periods and get recognized as breakage.

The Company will update its breakage estimates as future information is received.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $ 2.8 billion and $ 1.6 billion, respectively, of passenger revenue for tickets that were included in Advance ticket sales at the beginning of those periods.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $ 0.5 billion and $ 2.9 billion, respectively, of passenger revenue for tickets that were included in Advance ticket sales at the beginning of those periods.

Given the uncertainty of travel demand caused by the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, changes in our estimates of ETCs and FFCs that may expire unused could have a significant impact on revenue.

Changes in estimates of breakage are recognized prospectively in proportion to the remaining usage of the related tickets.

In the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized approximately $ 1.9 billion and $ 0.7 billion, respectively, of passenger revenue for tickets that were included in Advance ticket sales at the beginning of those periods.

Ancillary Fees.

The Company charges fees, separately from ticket sales, for certain ancillary services that are directly related to passengers' travel, such as baggage fees, premium seats, inflight amenities and other ticket-related fees.

These ancillary fees are part of the travel performance obligation and, as such, are recognized as passenger revenue when the travel occurs.

The Company recorded $ 707 million and $ 1.5 billion of ancillary fees within passenger revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

The Company recorded $ 205 million and $ 981 million of ancillary fees within passenger revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

NOTE 4 — INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were 21.6 % and 23.0 %, respectively.

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were 21.1 % and 19.8 %, respectively.

The provision for income taxes is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate which represents a blend of federal, state and foreign taxes and includes the impact of certain nondeductible items.

The effective tax rate was impacted by $ 52 million of additional valuation allowance related to unrealized capital losses for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and by $ 27 million of valuation allowance release related to unrealized capital gains and state attributes for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were impacted by $ 27 million and $ 157 million, respectively, of changes in valuation allowance related to unrealized capital losses.

The Company's effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were 21.4 % and 22.5 %, respectively.

The effective tax rate represents a blend of federal, state and foreign taxes and includes the impact of certain nondeductible items.

We have historically calculated the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to income or loss for the reporting period.

We have used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We determined that since small changes in estimated income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

non-pilot employees.

In 2020 and 2021, the Company offered several voluntary leave programs and voluntary separation programs ("Voluntary Programs") to certain eligible employees, which in some cases included a partially-paid leave of absence with active health benefits and travel privileges.

Under these Voluntary Programs, employees generally separated (or will separate) from employment with certain post-employment health benefits and travel privileges.

Share-Based Compensation.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, UAL's Board of Directors and stockholders approved the United Airlines Holdings, Inc.

2021 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2021 Plan").

The 2021 Plan is an incentive compensation plan that allows the Company to use different forms of equity incentives to attract, retain and reward officers and employees.

Under the 2021 Plan, the Company may grant:

nonqualified stock options;

incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986);

stock appreciation rights ("SARs");

restricted shares;

restricted stock units ("RSUs");

performance units;

cash incentive awards and other equity-based and equity-related awards.

An award (other than an option, SAR or cash incentive award) may provide the holder with dividends or dividend equivalents.

The 2021 Plan replaces the United Continental Holdings, Inc.

2017 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2017 Plan").

Any awards granted under the 2017 Plan prior to the approval of the 2021 Plan remain in effect pursuant to their terms.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, UAL granted share-based compensation awards pursuant to both the 2017 Plan and the 2021 Plan.

These share-based compensation awards included 2.9 million RSUs, consisting of 1.3 million time-vested RSUs and 1.6 million short-term performance-based RSUs.

A majority of the time-vested RSUs vest equally in 25 % increments every 6 months over a two-year period from the date of grant.

The short-term performance-based RSUs vest upon the achievement of established goals based on financial and customer satisfaction metrics for the performance period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.

RSUs are generally equity awards settled in stock for domestic employees and liability awards settled in cash for international employees.

The cash payments are based on the 20 -day average closing price of UAL common stock immediately prior to the vesting date.

(a) United also has options and purchase rights for additional aircraft.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company elected to accelerate the delivery of eight Boeing 737 MAX aircraft from 2023 to 2022.

The aircraft listed in the table above are scheduled for delivery through 2030.

To the extent the Company and the aircraft manufacturers with whom the Company has existing orders for new aircraft agree to modify the contracts governing those orders, or to the extent rights are exercised pursuant to the relevant agreements to modify the timing of deliveries, the amount and timing of the Company's future capital commitments could change.

United has an agreement to purchase ten used Airbus A319 aircraft, which it intends to sell, with expected delivery dates in 2021 and 2022.

In 2020, United entered into agreements with third parties to finance through sale and leaseback transactions new Boeing model 787 aircraft and Boeing model 737 MAX aircraft subject to purchase agreements between United and Boeing.

In connection with the delivery of each aircraft from Boeing, United assigned its right to purchase such aircraft to the buyer, and simultaneous with the buyer's purchase from Boeing, United entered into a long-term lease for such aircraft with the buyer as lessor.

Twenty Boeing model aircraft were delivered in the first nine months of 2021 under these transactions (and each is presently subject to a long-term lease to United).

Remaining aircraft in the agreements are scheduled to be delivered in the last three months of 2021.

Upon delivery of aircraft in these sale and leaseback transactions in 2021, the Company accounted for seven of these aircraft, which have a repurchase option at a price other than fair value, as part of Flight equipment on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and the related obligation recorded in Other current liabilities and Other financial liabilities from sale-leasebacks (noncurrent) since they do not qualify for sale recognition.

The remaining thirteen aircraft that qualified for sale recognition were recorded as Operating lease right-of-use assets and Current/Long-term obligations under operating leases on the Company's consolidated balance sheet after recognition of related gains on such sale.

The table below summarizes United's commitments as of September 30, 2021, which include aircraft and related spare engines, aircraft improvements and all non-aircraft capital commitments (in billions):

Regional CPAs.

In September 2021, United entered into a new CPA with Republic for Republic to operate 38 Embraer E175LL aircraft on United's behalf starting in 2022 for a 12 -year term.

The new Embraer E175LL aircraft will replace the Embraer E170 aircraft currently being flown by Republic for United.

The table below summarizes the Company's expected future payments through the end of the terms of our CPAs, excluding aircraft ownership costs and variable pass-through costs such as fuel and landing fees, among others.

Our future commitments under our CPAs are dependent on numerous variables, and are, therefore, difficult to predict.

We have set forth below estimates based on our current assumptions of our anticipated level of flight activity or any contractual minimum utilization levels if applicable, whichever is higher.

Based on these assumptions as of September 30, 2021, our estimated future payments through the end of the terms of our CPAs are presented in the table below (in billions):

(i) the Company and the aircraft manufacturers, with whom the Company has existing orders for new aircraft, agree to modify the contracts governing those orders;

(ii) rights are exercised pursuant to the relevant agreements to modify the timing of deliveries;

or (iii) the aircraft manufacturers are unable to deliver in accordance with the terms of those orders.

Furthermore, subsequent to March 31, 2022 , Boeing notified United that seven Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and two Boeing 787 aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2022, as shown in the table above, are now expected to deliver in 2023.

In the first quarter of 2022, United gave notice of its intent to exercise options to purchase, in 2023, eight Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that are currently leased under sale and leaseback arrangements.

The table below summarizes United's commitments as of March 31, 2022, which include aircraft and related spare engines, aircraft improvements and all non-aircraft capital commitments (in billions):

As of September 30, 2021, United is the guarantor of approximately $ 2.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of tax-exempt special facilities revenue bonds and interest thereon.

As of March 31, 2022, United is the guarantor of approximately $ 2.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of tax-exempt special facilities revenue bonds and interest thereon.

These bonds, issued by various airport municipalities, are payable solely from rentals paid under long-term agreements with the respective governing bodies.

All of these bonds are due between 2023 and 2041.

In August 2021, at the request of United, the City of Houston, Texas issued its approximately $ 289 million special facilities revenue bonds for the purpose of (a) financing the costs of construction of a multi-terminal baggage handling system, tenant improvements, fixtures, equipment, personnel areas, and related facilities, and an early baggage system building (together with a related fire pump room) at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), all to be installed by and for use by United and (b) paying related costs of issuance.

The bonds bear interest at 4.0 % per annum, payable semiannually, commencing January 2022 through the July 2041 maturity date.

United is accounting for the payments for these special facilities revenue bonds as lease payments under an operating lease recognized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the Company's balance sheet.

In November 2018, United, as lender, entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the "BRW Term Loan Agreement") with, among others, BRW Aviation Holding LLC and BRW Aviation LLC ("BRW"), as guarantor and borrower, respectively.

BRW Aviation Holding LLC and BRW are affiliates of Synergy Aerospace Corporation, and BRW is the majority shareholder of AVH.

Pursuant to the BRW Term Loan Agreement, United provided to BRW a $ 456 million term loan (the "BRW Term Loan").

In November 2018, in connection with funding the BRW Term Loan Agreement, the Company entered into an agreement with Kingsland Holdings Limited ("Kingsland"), AVH's largest minority shareholder, pursuant to which, in return for Kingsland's pledge of its 144.8 million common shares of AVH (which are eligible to be converted into the same number of preferred shares, which may be deposited with the depositary for AVH's American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), the class of AVH securities that trades on the NYSE, in exchange for 18.1 million ADRs) and its consent to BRW's pledge of its AVH common shares to United under the BRW Term Loan Agreement and related agreements, United (1) granted to Kingsland the right to put its AVH common shares to United at market price on the fifth anniversary of the BRW Term Loan Agreement or upon certain sales of AVH common shares owned by BRW, including upon a foreclosure of United's security interest, and (2) guaranteed BRW's obligation to pay Kingsland the difference if the market price of AVH common shares on the fifth anniversary, or upon any such sale, as applicable, is less than $ 12 per ADR on the NYSE, for an aggregate maximum possible combined put payment and guarantee amount on the fifth anniversary of $ 217 million.

Due to AVH's financial uncertainty and

subsequent bankruptcy filing in 2019, the Company recorded the full amount of the guarantee as a liability, and pursuant to the plan of reorganization that AVH has filed in the U.S.

Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, existing common shares of AVH would be cancelled and extinguished and holders would not be entitled to any recovery upon AVH’s exit from bankruptcy, planned to occur in the fourth quarter of 2021, and accordingly the expected value is zero per ADR.

Additionally, the Company posted $ 217 million as cash collateral for a standby letter of credit in favor of Citibank, N.A.

that serves as security for a loan from Citibank to Kingsland (recorded in Restricted cash – current on the Company's consolidated balance sheet).

Any drawings under the letter of credit would offset the Company's maximum possible put and guarantee payment to Kingsland by an equal amount.

The posting of this collateral, and any potential credit against the Company's put and guarantee payment, are entirely related to the original transactions entered in 2018 and do not represent any new or incremental investment.

As of September 30, 2021, United is the guarantor of $ 109 million of aircraft mortgage debt issued by one of United's regional carriers.

As of March 31, 2022, United is the guarantor of $ 102 million of aircraft mortgage debt issued by one of United's regional carriers.

The aircraft mortgage debt is subject to similar increased cost provisions as described below for the Company's debt, and the Company would potentially be responsible for those costs under the guarantees.

Increased Cost Provisions.

In United's financing transactions that include loans in which United is the borrower, United typically agrees to reimburse lenders for any reduced returns with respect to the loans due to any change in capital requirements and, in the case of loans with respect to which the interest rate is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), for certain other increased costs that the lenders incur in carrying these loans as a result of any change in law, subject, in most cases, to obligations of the lenders to take certain limited steps to mitigate the requirement for, or the amount of, such increased costs.

At September 30, 2021, the Company had $ 13.3 billion of floating rate debt with remaining terms of up to approximately 11 years that are subject to these increased cost provisions.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had $ 13.2 billion of floating rate debt with remaining terms of up to approximately 11 years that are subject to these increased cost provisions.

Labor Negotiations.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 85,300 employees, of whom approximately 85 % were represented by various U.S.

labor organizations.

This total includes employees who elected to voluntarily separate from the Company pursuant to Company-offered Voluntary Programs but who still remained on pay and benefit continuation.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company announced its decision to transition, in October 2021, its catering operations to a combination of three outside suppliers who will operate five kitchens and oversee the functions related to menu design and administration.

Impacted employees who were in good standing have been offered jobs at one of the three suppliers, and about 70 % will continue to have union representation following the transition.

Credit Card Processing Agreements.

1 unchanged sentence

Under certain of the Company's credit card processing agreements, the financial institutions in certain circumstances have the right to require that the Company maintain a reserve equal to a portion of advance ticket sales that has been processed by that financial institution, but for which the Company has not yet provided the air transportation.

Such financial institutions may require cash or other collateral reserves to be established or withholding of payments related to receivables to be collected, including if the Company does not maintain certain minimum levels of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Such financial institutions may require additional cash or other collateral reserves to be established or additional withholding of payments related to receivables collected if the Company does not maintain certain minimum levels of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (collectively, "Unrestricted Liquidity").

The Company's current level of Unrestricted Liquidity is substantially in excess of these minimum levels.

Labor Negotiations.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately 87,400 employees, of whom approximately 85 % were represented by various U.S.

labor organizations.

This total includes employees who elected to voluntarily separate from the Company pursuant to voluntary leave programs and voluntary separation programs offered in 2020 and 2021 but who are still on pre-separation leave of absence with pay and benefits.

NOTE 8 — DEBT

On April 21, 2021, United paid all amounts outstanding under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2017 Term Loan Facility, terminated the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2017 Term Loan Facility and entered into the New Loan Facilities described below.

As of September 30, 2021, United had $ 1.75 billion available for borrowing under the New Revolving Credit Facility at any time until April 21, 2025.

No borrowings were outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2021.

In February 2021, United created EETC pass-through trusts which issued pass-through certificates.

The proceeds from the issuance of the pass-through certificates are used to purchase equipment notes issued by United and secured by its aircraft financed with the proceeds of such notes.

The Company records the debt obligation upon issuance of the equipment notes rather than upon the initial issuance of the pass-through certificates.

The pass-through certificates represent fractional undivided interests in the respective pass-through trusts and are not obligations of United.

The payment obligations under the equipment notes are those of United.

Proceeds received from the sale of pass-through certificates are initially held by a depositary in escrow for the benefit of the certificate holders until United issues equipment notes to the trust, which purchases such notes with a portion of the escrowed funds.

These escrowed funds are not guaranteed by United and are not reported as debt on our consolidated balance sheet because the proceeds held by the depositary are not United's assets.

Certain details of the pass-through trusts with proceeds received from issuance of debt in 2021 are as follows (in millions, except stated interest rate):

On April 21, 2021, United issued, through a private offering to eligible purchasers, $ 4.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of two series of Notes, consisting of $ 2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and $ 2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes.

The 2026 Notes, issued at a price of 100 % of their principal amount, bear interest at a rate of 4.375 % per annum and will mature on April 15, 2026.

The 2029 Notes, issued at a price of 100 % of their principal amount, bear interest at a rate of 4.625 % per annum and will mature on April 15, 2029.

The Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by UAL.

New Loan Facilities.

Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Notes, United also entered into the New Loan Facilities, consisting of the New Term Loan Facility initially providing New Term Loans up to an aggregate amount of $ 5.0 billion and the New Revolving Credit Facility initially providing revolving loan commitments of up to $ 1.75 billion.

United borrowed the full amount of the New Term Loans on April 21, 2021, which bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR (but not less than 0.75 % per annum) plus a margin of 3.75 % per annum.

The principal amount of the New Term Loan Facility must be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments of 0.25 % of the original principal amount thereof with the balance due at maturity.

Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00 % to 3.50 % per annum.

United pays a commitment fee equal to 0.75 % per annum on the undrawn amount available under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

As a result of such repayments, the Existing Loan Facilities were terminated on April 21, 2021, and no further borrowings may be made thereunder.

The Notes and the New Loan Facilities are secured on a senior basis by security interests granted by United to the collateral trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and the lenders under the New Loan Facilities, among other parties, on the following:

(i) all of United's route authorities granted by the U.S.

Department of Transportation to operate scheduled service between any international airport located in the United States and any international airport located in any country other than the United States (except Cuba), (ii) United's rights to substantially all of its landing and take-off slots at foreign and domestic airports, including at John F.

Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (subject to certain exclusions), and (iii) United's rights to use or occupy space at airport terminals, each to the extent necessary at the relevant time for servicing scheduled air carrier service authorized by an applicable route authority.

impairments primarily related to 64 Embraer EMB 145LR aircraft and related spare engines that United retired from its regional fleet.

The decision to retire these aircraft was triggered by the United Next aircraft order.

In February 2021, the Company voluntarily and temporarily removed all 52 Boeing 777-200/200ER aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney 4000 series engines from its schedule due to an engine failure incident with one of its aircraft.

The Company viewed this incident as an indicator of potential impairment.

Accordingly, as required under relevant accounting standards, United performed forecasted cash flow analyses and determined that the carrying value of the Boeing 777-200/200ER fleet is expected to be recoverable from future cash flows expected to be generated by that fleet and, consequently, no impairment was recorded.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company received approximately $ 2.6 billion in funding pursuant to a Payroll Support Program agreement under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "PSP2 Agreement"), which included a $ 753 million unsecured loan.
