Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 27, 2016, Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) and United Airlines, Inc. (“United”) reached agreement to holistically restructure the parties’ codeshare relationship. The amended agreements provide substantial and interrelated operational and economic benefits, including an increase in reimbursement rates, an extension in duration of the 38 E170 aircraft, modifications that improve our operating schedules, and revisions to the delivery schedule for the remaining E175 aircraft. Under the amended agreements, United will receive a $193 million an allowed prepetition general unsecured claim for full settlement of their claims from reduced flying due to the pilot shortage and increased costs from the new agreement. The Company filed a motion in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking approval of such agreements. The motion will be heard before the Honorable Sean H. Lane on June 15, 2016. The new agreements will become effective upon issuance of the approval order by the court.
A copy of the press release the Company issued to announce the above is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
