(a) On July 24, 2014, UAL announced a $1 billion share repurchase program, which was authorized by UAL’s Board of Directors. UAL may repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated
transactions, block trades, or accelerated share repurchase transactions from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws. UAL will repurchase shares of common stock subject to prevailing market
conditions, and may discontinue such repurchases at any time.
(b) On July 24, 2014, pursuant to the $1 billion share repurchase program, UAL entered into agreements to repurchase approximately $200 million of shares of UAL common stock through an accelerated share
repurchase program (the ASR Program”). Final settlement of the ASR Program occurred in the third and fourth quarters of 2014 with UAL repurchasing an aggregate of 4,446,993 shares under the ASR
Program. Of the 4,446,993 shares, 3,785,770 shares were delivered to the Company in the third quarter of 2014 and 661,223 shares were delivered to the Company in October 2014. The aggregate number of
shares repurchased by UAL under the ASR Program is based on the volume-weighted average price per share of UAL’s common stock during the calculation periods determined pursuant to each agreement, less a
discount.
(c) UAL made open market purchases of 1,687,555 shares of UAL common stock at an average price of $59.07 per share in the fourth quarter of 2014.
