United’s debt-related derivatives presented in the tables above relate to (a) supplemental indentures that provide that United’s convertible debt is convertible
into shares of UAL common stock upon the terms and conditions specified in the indentures, and (b) the embedded conversion options in United’s
convertible debt that are required to be separated and accounted for as though they are free-standing derivatives as a result of the United debt becoming
convertible into the common stock of a different reporting entity. The derivatives described above relate to the 6% Convertible Junior Subordinated
Debentures due 2030 (the “6% Convertible Debentures”) and the 4.5% Convertible Notes. Gains (losses) on these derivatives are recorded in Nonoperating
income (expense): Miscellaneous, net in United’s Statements of Consolidated Operations. These derivatives along with their gains (losses) are reported in
United’s separate financial statements and are eliminated in consolidation for UAL.
In October 2014, United used cash to retire, at par, the entire $248 million principal balance of the 6% Convertible Debentures. In January 2015, the holders
of substantially all of the remaining $202 million principal amount of the 4.5% Convertible Notes exercised their conversion options. The derivative assets
and liabilities associated with the 6% Convertible Debentures and the 4.5% Convertible Notes were settled in connection with the retirement of the related
convertible debt. See Note 11 of this report for additional information related to the 6% Convertible Debentures and the 4.5% Convertible Notes.
