Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously reported, on April 20, 2020, United Airlines Holdings, Inc. ("UAL"
and, together with United Airlines, Inc., the "Company") entered into a warrant
agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") in
connection with the Payroll Support Program established under the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "PSP Warrant Agreement"). Pursuant
to the PSP Warrant Agreement, UAL has issued to Treasury warrants to purchase up
to 4,763,841 shares of common stock (the "PSP Warrants"). The PSP Warrant
Agreement entitles Treasury to customary registration rights.
On December 1, 2017, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form
S-3 (File No. 333-221865) (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration
Statement provides for the sale of securities, including shares of common stock
and warrants of the Company, from time to time by UAL, its wholly-owned
subsidiary United Airlines, Inc. and selling security holders who may be named
in a prospectus supplement. On August 28, 2020, UAL filed a prospectus
supplement providing for the resale of 4,627,141 of the PSP Warrants by one or
more selling security holders from time to time, as well as the resale of up to
4,627,141 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such PSP Warrants. On
the date hereof, UAL filed a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement")
providing for the resale of the remaining 136,700 of the PSP Warrants by one or
more selling security holders from time to time, as well as the resale of up to
136,700 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such PSP Warrants
(collectively, the "Securities").
