UAL CORPORATION TO REDEEM 6 3/8% CONVERTIBLE
SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES;
DISCUSSES HIGHER FIRST QUARTER EXPECTATIONS
CHICAGO, March 19, 1996 -- UAL Corporation, the parent
company whose primary subsidiary is United Airlines, today
announced that it is issuing a redemption notice for its 6 3/8%
convertible subordinated debentures with a redemption date of May
1, 1996.
Debenture holders will receive $1,043.75, plus accrued
interest of $15.9375, in cash for every $1,000 in principal
amount of debentures redeemed. Alternatively, holders may
convert their debentures on or before 5:00 p.m. April 30, 1996
(EST) and receive $541.90 in cash and approximately 3.192 shares
of UAL common stock (with cash in lieu of fractional shares) for
every $1,000 principal amount of debentures.
The Bank of New York, whose address is 101 Barclay Street,
New York, NY 10286, is the redemption and conversion agent.
The redemption or conversion of the debentures will reduce
UAL's gross interest expense by $38 million annually. If all
debentures are converted prior to the May 1 redemption date,
first quarter gross interest expense will be reduced by $6
million.
Separately, UAL noted first quarter traffic and yields are
expected to be stronger than originally estimated. Costs also
will be slightly higher due to increasing fuel prices and costs
associated with additional revenues. As a result, UAL expects
its first quarter earnings will exceed the highest analyst's
estimate reported to First Call of $2.05 per fully distributed
share.
The information set forth in the preceding paragraph is
forward looking and actual results could differ materially from
expected results. Factors that could significantly impact
expected traffic, yields, revenue and costs include the airline
pricing environment, the general economic environment, world oil
prices and other factors discussed in company filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
