Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On April 21, 2017, United Continental Holdings, Inc. (“UCH”) and United Airlines, Inc. (collectively, the “Companies”) entered into the Second Amendment to Employment Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Oscar Munoz, the Companies’ Chief Executive Officer, amending his Employment Agreement with the Companies dated December 31, 2015, as first amended as of April 19, 2016. The Second Amendment, which was initiated by Mr. Munoz, removes the provisions in the Employment Agreement related to the future appointment of Mr. Munoz as Chairman of the Board of Directors of UCH (the “Board”), leaving future determinations related to the Chairman position to the discretion of the Board. As a result, the Second Amendment also modifies the definition of “Good Reason” such that the appointment of a Chairman of the Board other than Mr. Munoz, Robert A. Milton or Henry L. Meyer III would not constitute “Good Reason.”

The foregoing summary description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
