        <footnote id="F2">These are deferred shares originally granted on July 24, 2006 under AMR's 2006/2008 Performance Share Plan.  The AMR Board's Compensation Committee determined on April 15, 2009 that the performance criteria under the 2006/2008 Performance Share Plan were achieved at 75%, and thus 75% of the initial grant vested on April 15, 2009.  At the time of the initial grant, the number of shares reported was the target award (or 100%).  The securities reflected in this column, equal to 25% of the shares initially granted, were therefore forfeited and returned to the AMR 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended.</footnote>
