("Continental") with respect to the Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Class A Common"), of America West Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows:

(a)-(c) On December 27, 2000, Continental sold to the Company its 158,569 shares of the Company's Class A Common pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of December 27, 2000 among Continental Airlines, Inc., America West Holdings Corporation and America West Airlines, Inc. (the "Purchase Agreement"). Consequently, Continental owns no shares of Class A Common and has neither sole nor shared power to vote or dispose of any of the Company's securities. Also on such date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Continental assigned to the Company its rights and obligations under that certain Priority Distribution Agreement previously filed as an exhibit hereto. The TPG Parties consented to such assignment. As a result, Continental is no longer part of a group with the TPG Parties, and Continental's obligation to file further amendments to the Schedule 13D will cease upon filing of this amendment. The consideration paid by the Company to Continental for the shares and Continental's assignment of the Priority Distribution Agreement was $10,827,532.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

As noted above, upon the sale of the shares of Class A Common and the assignment of the Priority Distribution Agreement, Continental ceased to be part of a group with the TPG Parties.

 

Item 7. Material To Be Filed as Exhibits

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

Exhibit 3 Purchase Agreement dated as of December 27, 2000 among Continental Airlines, Inc., America West Holdings Corporation and America West Airlines, Inc.
