ITEM 2.03. CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT
On September 28, 2009, AMR Corporation (“AMR”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”) entered into the Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), supplemental to the Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2004, between AMR and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture,” as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), providing for the previously announced issuance by AMR of $460,000,000 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”). The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by American Airlines, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR (the “Company”), pursuant to the Guarantee, dated as of September 28, 2009 (the “Guarantee”).
Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2010. The stated maturity date of the Notes is October 15, 2014. The Notes are convertible by holders into shares of AMR’s Common Stock at an initial conversion rate of 101.0101 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.90 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Indenture, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the Notes. Maturity of the Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including failure by AMR (in some cases after notice or the expiration of a grace period, or both) to make payments under the Indenture when due, to deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes or to comply with certain covenants, as well as certain bankruptcy events.
The Notes and the Guarantee were registered for offer and sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under AMR’s and the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-160646 and 333-160646-01) (the “Registration Statement”). The Notes were sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 22, 2009, among AMR, the Company and the several underwriters named therein.
ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On September 28, 2009, AMR completed the previously announced issuance and sale of 48,484,849 shares of AMR’s Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, at a public offering price of $8.25 per share. AMR granted the underwriters of the offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 7,272,727 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments. The shares were registered for offer and sale pursuant to the Securities Act under the Registration Statement. The shares were sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 22, 2009, among AMR and the several underwriters named therein.
