Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Underwritten Public Offering of Convertible Senior Notes

On May 17, 2017, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as managers of the several underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”) to issue and sell $260 million aggregate principal amount of 1.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) in a public offering pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-218033) (the “Registration Statement”) and a related prospectus, including the related prospectus supplement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Offering”). In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters the option to purchase, for a period beginning on May 23, 2017 and ending on the 12th calendar day thereafter, up to an additional $39 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes solely to cover over-allotments, which the Underwriters partially exercised on May 18, 2017, purchasing an additional $29 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Company estimates that the proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses, will be approximately $281 million given the Underwriters’ partial exercise of the overallotment option. The sale of the Notes is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The offer and sale of the Notes and underlying shares of common stock are registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein and into the Registration Statement by reference.

The Notes are to be issued under a Senior Indenture, dated June 3, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the second supplemental indenture to be dated May 23, 2017 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), relating to the issuance by the Company of the Notes, by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.875% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2017. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2024, unless earlier converted or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The form of Note is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein and into the Registration Statement by reference.
