NOTE 9 - DEBT

As of March 31, 2018, a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, principally aircraft, route authorities, airport slots and loyalty program intangible assets, was pledged under various loan and other agreements. As of March 31, 2018, UAL and United were in compliance with their respective debt covenants. As of March 31, 2018, United had its entire capacity of $2.0 billion available under the revolving credit facility of the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (as amended, the “2017 Credit Agreement”).

EETCs. In February 2018, United created two new EETC pass-through trusts, each of which issued pass-through certificates. The proceeds of the issuance of the pass-through certificates are used to purchase equipment notes issued by United and secured by its aircraft. 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 2018 are as follows (in millions, except stated interest rate):


EETC Date	Class	Principal		Final expected distribution date	Stated interest rate		Total proceeds received from issuance of debt during 2018 and recorded as debt as of March 31, 2018		Remaining proceeds from issuance of debt to be received in future periods
