Chapter 11 Reorganization
 Chapter 11 Reorganization
Overview
On November 29, 2011 (the Petition Date), AMR Corporation (AMR or the Company), its principal subsidiary, American Airlines, Inc. (American) and certain of the Company’s other direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the Chapter 11 Cases) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption “In re AMR Corporation, et al., Case No. 11-15463-SHL.”
The Company and the other Debtors are operating as “debtors in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. In general, as debtors in possession under the Bankruptcy Code, we are authorized to continue to operate as an ongoing business but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Code enables the Company to continue to operate its business without interruption, and the Bankruptcy Court has granted additional relief covering, among other things, obligations to (i) employees, (ii) taxing authorities, (iii) insurance providers, (iv) independent contractors for improvement projects, (v) foreign vendors, (vi) other airlines pursuant to certain interline agreements, and (vii) certain vendors deemed critical to the Debtors’ operations.
While operating as debtors in possession under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise as permitted in the ordinary course of business. On April 15, 2013, the Company and other Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a proposed Plan of Reorganization (as amended on June 5, 2013, the Plan) and related Disclosure Statement (herein so called). On June 7, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Disclosure Statement for the Plan dated June 5, 2013. The Plan contains provisions for the treatment of equity interests in, and prepetition claims against, AMR and the other Debtors. The Plan also contemplates a business combination of AMR and US Airways Group, Inc. (referred to herein as the Merger). See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The Plan has been submitted to the Debtors' stakeholders and is subject to acceptance by the requisite majorities of empowered stakeholders under the Bankruptcy Code and approval by the Bankruptcy Court. See below for further information on the plan of reorganization. The Plan and Disclosure Statement and the information contained therein are not incorporated in this Form 10-Q.
The Company’s Chapter 11 Cases followed an extended effort by the Company to restructure its business to strengthen its competitive and financial position. However, the Company’s substantial cost disadvantage compared to its larger competitors, all of which restructured their costs and debt through Chapter 11, became increasingly untenable given the accelerating impact of global economic uncertainty and resulting revenue instability, volatile and rising fuel prices, and intensifying competitive challenges.

Notwithstanding any indications of value that may be contained in the Plan, no assurance can be given as to the value that ultimately may be ascribed to the Debtors' various prepetition liabilities and other securities. The Company cannot predict what the ultimate value of any of its or the other Debtors' securities may be.  Trading in the Company's common stock and certain debt securities on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was suspended on January 5, 2012, and the Company's common stock and such debt securities were delisted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) from the NYSE on January 30, 2012.  On January 5, 2012, the Company's common stock began trading under the symbol “AAMRQ” on the OTCQB marketplace, operated by OTC Markets Group (www.otcmarkets.com).
General Information
Notices to Creditors; Effect of Automatic Stay. The Debtors have notified all known current or potential creditors that the Chapter 11 Cases were filed. Subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of most judicial or administrative proceedings or filing of other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover on, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the Petition Date. Thus, for example, most creditor actions to obtain possession of property from the Debtors, or to create, perfect or enforce any lien against the property of the Debtors, or to collect on monies owed or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to a prepetition claim, are enjoined unless and until the Bankruptcy Court lifts the automatic stay as to any such claim. Vendors are being paid for goods furnished and services provided after the Petition Date in the ordinary course of business.
Appointment of Creditors’ Committee. On December 5, 2011, the U.S. Trustee appointed the Creditors’ Committee (Creditors' Committee) for the Chapter 11 Cases.
Retirement and Life Insurance Benefits. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding modifications to retirement and life insurance benefits.
Rejection of Executory Contracts. Under section 365 and other relevant sections of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, including, without limitation, agreements relating to aircraft and aircraft engines (collectively, Aircraft Property) and leases of real property, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions.  As of June 30, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court had entered orders granting the Debtors' motions to assume 543, assume and assign one, terminate one, and reject 12 unexpired leases of non-residential real property and had entered various orders extending, by the Debtors' agreement with certain landlords, the date by which the Debtors must assume or reject an additional 14 unexpired leases of non-residential real property.

On April 3, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a stipulation providing that, among other things, (i) the 1990 and 1994 series of special facility revenue bonds that financed certain improvements at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) will be treated as general unsecured claims, (ii) the Debtors may continue to use any premises and improvements at JFK or LaGuardia Airport financed by the 1990 or 1994 series of special facility revenue bonds, (iii) the Debtors will assume the leases at JFK that currently relate to the 2002 and 2005 series of special facility revenue bonds, and (iv) the Debtors' use of premises at JFK will continue to be governed by those leases as well as any other leases that may apply (including leases with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey). As a result, the Company expects a claim of approximately $171 million relating to the 1990 and 1994 series of special facility revenue bonds, of which $124 million has been previously accrued, plus post-petition interest.
In general, rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a prepetition breach of the executory contract or unexpired lease in question and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Counterparties to such rejected contracts or leases have the right to file claims against the Debtors’ estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease.
Any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease elsewhere in these Notes or in the report to which these Notes are attached, including where applicable the Debtors’ express termination rights or a quantification of their obligations, must be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, any rights the Debtors or counterparties have under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Debtors expect that liabilities subject to compromise and resolution in the Chapter 11 Cases will arise in the future as a result of damage claims created by the Debtors’ rejection of various executory contracts and unexpired leases. Due to the uncertain nature of many of the potential rejection claims, the magnitude of such claims is not reasonably estimable at this time. Such claims may be material (see “Liabilities Subject to Compromise” in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Special Protection Applicable to Leases and Secured Financing of Aircraft and Aircraft Equipment. Notwithstanding the general discussion above of the impact of the automatic stay, under section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, beginning 60 days after filing a petition under Chapter 11, certain secured parties, lessors and conditional sales vendors may have a right to take possession of certain qualifying Aircraft Property that is leased or subject to a security interest or conditional sale contract, unless the Debtors, subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, agree to perform under the applicable agreement, and cure any defaults as provided in section 1110 (other than defaults of a kind specified in section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code). Taking such action does not preclude the Debtors from later rejecting the applicable lease or abandoning the Aircraft Property subject to the related security agreement, or from later seeking to renegotiate the terms of the related financing.
The Debtors may extend the 60-day period by agreement of the relevant financing party, with Bankruptcy Court approval. In the absence of an agreement or cure as described above or such an extension, the financing party may take possession of the Aircraft Property and enforce its contractual rights or remedies to sell, lease or otherwise retain or dispose of such equipment.
The 60-day period under section 1110 in the Chapter 11 Cases expired on January 27, 2012. In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court’s Order Authorizing the Debtors to (i) Enter into Agreements Under Section 1110(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) Enter into Stipulations to Extend the Time to Comply with Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code and (iii) File Redacted Section 1110(b) Stipulations, dated December 23, 2011, the Debtors have entered into agreements to extend the automatic stay or agreed to perform and cure defaults under financing agreements with respect to certain aircraft in their fleet and other Aircraft Property. The Debtors have reached agreement on revised terms with respect to substantially all of the aircraft for which the Debtors expect to negotiate revised terms, subject in a number of instances to certain conditions, including reaching agreement on definitive documentation. The ultimate outcome of these negotiations cannot be predicted with certainty. To the extent the Debtors are unable to reach definitive agreements with Aircraft Property financing parties, those parties may seek to repossess the subject Aircraft Property.
Magnitude of Potential Claims. On February 27, 2012, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements of financial affairs setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of the Debtors, subject to the assumptions filed in connection therewith. All of the schedules are subject to further amendment or modification.
Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(3) requires the Bankruptcy Court to fix the time within which proofs of claim must be filed in a Chapter 11 case pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code. This Bankruptcy Rule also provides that any creditor who asserts a claim against the Debtors that arose prior to the Petition Date and whose claim (i) is not listed on the Debtors' schedules or (ii) is listed on the schedules as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, must file a proof of claim. On May 4, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order that established July 16, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) (the Bar Date) as the deadline to file proofs of claim against any Debtor. More information regarding the filing of proofs of claim can be obtained at www.amrcaseinfo.com. Information on this website is not incorporated into or otherwise made a part of this report.
As of July 10, 2013, approximately 13,500 claims totaling about $290 billion have been filed with the Bankruptcy Court against the Debtors. Of those claims, approximately 360 claims aggregating approximately $66 million were filed after the Bar Date. We expect new and amended claims to be filed in the future, including claims amended to assign values to claims originally filed with no designated value. We intend to dispute the claims filed after the Bar Date as not having been filed timely and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code. We have identified, and we expect to continue to identify, many claims that we believe should be disallowed by the Bankruptcy Court because they are duplicative, are without merit, are overstated or for other reasons. As of July 10, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court has disallowed approximately $116 billion of claims and has not yet ruled on our other objections to claims, the disputed portions of which aggregate to an additional $1.1 billion. We expect to continue to file objections in the future. Because the process of analyzing and objecting to claims is ongoing, the amount of disallowed claims may increase significantly in the future. The Debtors have recorded amounts for claims for which there was sufficient information to estimate the claim.
Differences between amounts scheduled by the Debtors and claims by creditors will be investigated and resolved in connection with the claims resolution process. In light of the expected number of creditors, the claims resolution process may take considerable time to complete. Accordingly, the ultimate number and amount of allowed claims is not presently known, nor can the ultimate recovery with respect to allowed claims be presently ascertained.
Collective Bargaining Agreements. Section 1113(c) of the Bankruptcy Code provides a process for the modification and/or rejection of collective bargaining agreements (CBAs). Through this process, American was able to achieve new CBAs with each of its unions (TWU, APFA and APA), covering nine unionized work groups.
In September 2012, the Bankruptcy Court authorized American to reject its pilot CBA, and thereafter American began implementing certain terms and conditions of employment for pilots. American and the APA continued to negotiate in good faith toward a new pilot agreement, and those negotiations resulted in a new pilot CBA that was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on December 19, 2012. A small group of American pilots is appealing the Bankruptcy Court's decisions granting American's request to reject the pilot CBA and approving the new pilot CBA, and those appeals are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
American Eagle Airlines, Inc. (AMR Eagle) also engaged in the Section 1113(c) process with its unions, and ultimately achieved new CBAs with its unions, including AFA, ALPA and all four TWU-represented work groups.
In addition, American's pilots, flight attendants, and ground employee unions and the US Airways, Inc. pilots union have agreed to new terms for CBAs, effective upon the closing of the proposed Merger with US Airways Group Inc. (see Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Merger). Separately, US Airways entered into a new CBA with the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (the “AFA”) that includes support for the Merger. American's unions representing pilots and flight attendants are working with their counterparts at US Airways, Inc. to determine representation and single agreement protocols to be used to integrate the pilots and flight attendants workforces after the Merger. The TWU reached agreement with its counterpart at US Airways (the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM)) to jointly represent three groups of ground employees (Mechanic and Related, Fleet Service and Stores) following the Merger (subject to certification by the NMB), and on a process for integrating these workgroups, and one other, following the Merger.
Filing of Plan of Reorganization, Disclosure Statement and Form S-4. On April 15, 2013, the Company and other Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court the Plan and Disclosure Statement , which contemplate that AMR will emerge from Chapter 11 and engage in the Merger (as further described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Plan addresses various subjects with respect to the Debtors, including the resolution of pre-petition obligations as well as the capital structure and corporate governance after exit from the Chapter 11 Cases. The Plan further provides that, upon the effectiveness of the Plan and the Merger, which are anticipated to occur contemporaneously, all shares of existing AMR common stock and other equity interests in AMR will be canceled and any rights with respect thereto will cease to exist, subject to the right to receive distributions pursuant to the Plan. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Disclosure Statement on June 7, 2013, as discussed more fully below.
Generally, for purposes of the Plan, all 20 Debtors will be “substantively consolidated” into three nodes, consisting of: (i) AMR Debtors, (ii) American Debtors, and (iii) Eagle Debtors. As among the AMR Debtors, the American Debtors, and the Eagle Debtors, the Plan will separately classify creditor claims. However, pursuant to the compromises incorporated into the Plan relating to certain inter-creditor issues and the treatment of intercompany claims among the Debtors, general unsecured claims of similar rank and priority will be treated the same under the Plan regardless of the Debtor against which such claim was filed.

The Plan contains provisions related to the treatment of prepetition unsecured claims against the Debtors and equity interests in AMR as described in the Plan and Disclosure Statement and in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under "Support Agreement and Term Sheet."

On June 7, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered the order approving the Disclosure Statement.  The Court also authorized American to begin soliciting votes on the Plan from creditors and stockholders. Solicitation packages were distributed by June 20, 2013.  The Company and the other Debtors have until July 29, 2013 to solicit and obtain acceptances for the Plan. The hearing before the Court to consider confirmation of the Plan is scheduled for August 15, 2013. To be accepted by holders of claims against the Debtors, the Plan must be approved by at least one-half in number and two-thirds in dollar amount of claims actually voting in each impaired class. Under certain circumstances set forth in Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court may confirm a plan even if the plan has not been accepted by all impaired classes of claims and equity interests. A class of claims or equity interest that does not receive or retain any property under the plan on account of such claims or interest is deemed to have voted to reject the plan. The precise requirements and evidentiary showing for confirming a plan notwithstanding its rejection by one or more impaired classes of claims or equity interests depends upon a number of factors, including the status and seniority of the claims or equity interests in the rejecting class (i.e. secured claims or unsecured claims, subordinated or senior claims, preferred or common stock).

On April 15, 2013, the Company filed a Form S-4 registration statement (the Form S-4 Registration Statement) with the SEC to register the shares of common stock of AMR, which following the Merger will be renamed American Airlines Group Inc. (herein, the AAG Common Stock), to be issued to stockholders of US Airways Group, Inc. (US Airways Group) as consideration in the Merger in exchange for their US Airways Group common stock. The SEC declared the Form S-4 Registration Statement, as amended, effective on June 10, 2013. The AAG Common Stock cannot be issued to US Airways Group stockholders until the US Airways Group stockholders vote to approve the Merger, the Plan is confirmed and the Plan and Merger are consummated.

Nothing contained in this Form 10-Q is intended to be, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. The Plan will become effective only if it receives the requisite approval and is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan or that the Plan will be implemented successfully. See “Additional Information” below.
Merger Agreement. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Merger Agreement.
Availability and Utilization of Net Operating Losses. A discussion of the potential impact of the Plan on the availability and utilization of net operating losses (and alternative minimum tax credits) after the Debtors' emergence from Chapter 11 is contained in the Disclosure Statement. As described therein, the Debtors reasonably anticipate taking advantage of the special bankruptcy rule in section 382(l)(5) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, which generally applies to an ownership change in bankruptcy that involves the retention or receipt of at least half of the stock of the reorganized debtor by its shareholders and/or qualified creditors.

On April 11, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court issued a Revised Final Order Establishing Notification Procedures for Substantial Claimholders and Equity Security Holders and Approving Restrictions on Certain Transfers of Interests in the Debtors' Estates (the "Revised Order"), which restricts trading in the Company's common stock and establishes certain procedures and potential restrictions with respect to the transfer of claims (the “Revised Procedures”). The order is intended to prevent, or otherwise institute procedures and notification requirements with respect to, certain transfers of AMR common stock and unsecured claims against the Debtors that could impair the ability of the Debtors to use their net operating loss carryovers and certain other tax attributes on a reorganized basis.

In accordance with the Revised Procedures, the Debtors established in the Debtors' proposed Disclosure Statement as filed on April 15, 2013, an initial date by which holders of unsecured claims (or in certain cases, group of holders) that beneficially owned in excess of a threshold amount as of May 24, 2013 were required to file a Notice of Substantial Claim Ownership. The reporting deadline was May 31, 2013, and the threshold amount was $190 million of unsecured claims or such lesser amount as set forth in the proposed Disclosure Statement. The Disclosure Statement as approved on June 7, 2013 establishes in accordance with the Revised Procedures a second (final) date by which holders of unsecured claims (or in certain cases, group of holders) that beneficially own in excess of a threshold amount as of July 1, 2013 must file a Notice of Substantial Claim Ownership (regardless of whether such holder(s) filed a Notice as of the first reporting deadline). The final reporting deadline was July 8, 2013. The threshold amount is $190 million of unsecured claims or such lesser amount as set forth in the approved Disclosure Statement, namely such lesser amount which, when added to certain specified interests, including stock, in AMR or US Airways Group, would result in such holder holding the “Applicable Percentage,” generally 4.5 percent, of the reorganized Debtors. In connection with the filing of a Notice of Substantial Claim Ownership, a holder must indicate if it will agree to refrain from acquiring additional AMR and US Airways Group common stock and such other specified interests until after the effective date of the Debtors' Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, and to dispose of any such interests acquired since February 22, 2013. This can affect the manner in which the Revised Procedures apply to certain holders. Based, in part, on the Notices of Substantial Claim Ownership received, the Debtors thereafter will evaluate whether it will be necessary for them to seek an order in accordance with the “sell-down” procedures of the Revised Order, potentially requiring any “Substantial Claimholder” to sell down a portion of its unsecured claims to reasonably ensure that the requirements of section 382(l)(5) will be satisfied.

After July 1, 2013, any acquisition of unsecured claims by a Substantial Claimholder or a person (or in certain cases, group of persons) that would become a Substantial Claimholder as a result of the contemplated transaction is not permitted unless the potential transferee files a Claims Acquisition Request at least 10 business days prior to the proposed transfer date and receives written approval from the Debtors.

The Revised Procedures did not alter the procedures applicable with respect to “Substantial Equityholders,” namely persons who are, or as a result of a transaction would become, the beneficial owner of approximately 4.5 percent of the outstanding shares of AMR common stock.
Any acquisition, disposition, or other transfer of equity or claims in violation of the restrictions set forth in the Revised Order will be null and void ab initio and/or subject to sanctions as an act in violation of the automatic stay under sections 105(a) and 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. A further explanation of the Revised Procedures is contained in the Disclosure Statement.

Liabilities subject to compromise refers to prepetition obligations which may be impacted by the Chapter 11 reorganization process. These amounts represent the Debtors’ current estimate of known or potential prepetition obligations to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.
In accordance with ASC 852, substantially all of the Company’s unsecured debt has been classified as liabilities subject to compromise. Additionally, certain of the Company’s undersecured debt instruments have also been classified as liabilities subject to compromise.
As a result of the modifications to the retirement benefits as discussed in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, a portion of the pension and postretirement benefits liability, primarily relating to retiree medical and other benefits, was classified as liabilities subject to compromise.
Differences between liabilities the Debtors have estimated and the claims filed, or to be filed, will be investigated and resolved in connection with the claims resolution process. The Company will continue to evaluate these liabilities throughout the Chapter 11 Cases and adjust amounts as necessary. Such adjustments may be material. In light of the expected number of creditors, the claims resolution process may take considerable time to complete. Accordingly, the ultimate number and amount of allowed claims is not presently known.

Amounts include allowed claims (claims approved by the Bankruptcy Court) and estimated allowed claims relating to the rejection or modification of financings related to aircraft. The Debtors record an estimated claim associated with the rejection or modification of a financing when the applicable motion is filed with the Bankruptcy Court to reject or modify such financing and the Debtors believe that it is probable the motion will be approved, and there is sufficient information to estimate the claim. Modifications of the financings related to certain aircraft remain subject to conditions, including reaching agreement on definitive documentation. See above, “Special Protection Applicable to Leases and Secured Financing of Aircraft and Aircraft Equipment,” for further information.

(2)
Amounts include allowed claims (claims approved by the Bankruptcy Court) and estimated allowed claims relating to entry of orders treating as unsecured claims with respect to facility agreements supporting certain issuances of special facility revenue bonds. The Debtors record an estimated claim associated with the treatment of claims with respect to facility agreements when the applicable motion is filed with the Bankruptcy Court and the Debtors believe that it is probable that the motion will be approved, and there is sufficient information to estimate the claim. See above, “Rejection of Executory Contracts,” for further information.

(3)
Pursuant to the Support Agreement, as defined and further described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Debtors agreed to allow certain post-petition unsecured claims on obligations.  As a result, during the first six months of 2013, the Company recorded reorganization charges to adjust estimated allowed claim amounts previously recorded on rejected special facility revenue bonds of $143 million and allowed general unsecured claims related to the 1990 and 1994 series of special facility revenue bonds that financed certain improvements at John F. Kennedy International Airport, which is included in the table above.
Claims related to reorganization items are reflected in liabilities subject to compromise on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013.
