On February 15, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), increasing the borrowing capacity by $1.115 billion, which may be drawn upon until February 15, 2029, in the case of any Revolving Loans (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) made by the Extending Lenders (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), and April 21, 2025, in the case of any Revolving Loans made by the 2024 Non-Extending Lenders (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). On April 16, 2024, the Company further increased the revolving loan commitments of the Extending Lenders by $100 million. Following such increase, the revolving loan

commitments of the Extending Lenders equal $2.8 billion and the revolving loan commitments of the 2024 Non-Extending Lenders equal $165 million. As of September 30, 2024, we had $2.965 billion undrawn and available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Loans, if any, bear interest at a variable rate equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), generally subject to a floor, plus a credit adjustment spread described in the Revolving Credit Facility, or, at United's election, another rate based on certain market interest rates, also generally subject to a floor, in each case plus a variable margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.50%, in the case of Term SOFR loans, and 2.00% to 2.50%, in the case of loans at other market rates.

On February 22, 2024, the Company also entered into Amendment No. 2 to Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement (as amended, the "Term Loan Facility" and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Loan Facilities") and (i) used available cash in an amount equal to $1.37 billion to partially prepay the term loans under the 2021 term loans and (ii) borrowed the entire term loan commitment available under the Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to $2.5 billion and used the proceeds of such terms loans (the "Term Loans") to prepay in full the remaining outstanding principal balance under the existing term loan facility. The Term Loans bear interest at a variable rate equal to Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.0%); or, at United's election, another rate based on certain market interest rates (subject to a floor of 1.0%), in each case plus a margin of 2.75%, in the case of Term SOFR loans, and 1.75%, in the case of loans at other market rates. The remaining balance of the Term Loans will mature and be due and payable on February 22, 2031.

On July 2, 2024, the Company voluntarily prepaid in full the outstanding principal balance of the term loan facility of the MileagePlus Financing, which was $1.8 billion, in addition to all accrued and unpaid interest and fees under the term loan facility and terminated all commitments thereunder.

Equipment Notes. On August 5, 2024, the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as subordination agent and pass through trustee (the "Trustee") under certain pass through trusts newly formed by the Company, entered into the Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"). The Note Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance by the Company of equipment notes (the "Equipment Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.4 billion secured by 48 Boeing aircraft delivered new from the manufacturer from October 2010 to December 2023 (collectively, the "Aircraft"). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, on August 5, 2024, the Trustee purchased Equipment Notes issued under a trust indenture and mortgage (each, an "Indenture" and, collectively, the "Indentures") with respect to each Aircraft entered into by the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as mortgagee. Each Indenture provides for the issuance of Equipment Notes in two series: Series AA, bearing interest at the rate of 5.450% per annum, and Series A, bearing interest at the rate of 5.875% per annum, in aggregate principal amounts equal to $969 million and $385 million, respectively. The Equipment Notes were purchased by the Trustee, using the proceeds from the sale of Pass Through Certificates, Series 2024-1AA, and Pass Through Certificates, Series 2024-1A, issued by two pass through trusts newly-formed by the Company. The interest on the Equipment Notes is payable semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15, beginning on February 15, 2025. The principal payments on the Equipment Notes are scheduled on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2025 for certain Equipment Notes and August 15, 2025 for the remaining Equipment Notes. The final payments on the Equipment Notes will be due on or prior to February 15, 2037.
