American Airlines Obtains Final Stock and Claims Order for Trading Requirements Feb 10, 2012 04:14PM

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On Nov. 29, 2011, AMR Corporation ("AMR") and certain of its subsidiaries, including American Airlines, Inc. and AMR Eagle Holding Corporation (collectively, the "Debtors"), filed a motion (the "Motion") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking an order (i) restricting certain transfers of interest in AMR Common Stock (trading symbol: AAMRQ), and certain transfers of claims against the Debtors, and (ii) imposing certain notification requirements with respect to substantial owners of AMR Common Stock and substantial owners of unsecured claims against the Debtors (including certain tax-exempt bonds and instruments issued by obligors in leveraged lease and non-leveraged lease structures that represent or subsequently may represent interests in claims against the Debtors).  The order is intended to prevent certain transfers of AMR Common Stock and certain transfers of claims against the Debtors that could impair the ability of one or more of the Debtors' estates to use their net operating loss carryovers and certain other tax attributes on a reorganized basis.

After having granted the Motion on Nov. 30, 2011, on an interim basis only, the Bankruptcy Court entered a modified order on a final basis (the "Final Order") on Jan. 27, 2012.  All procedures reflected in the Final Order currently apply and must be complied with.  Accordingly, any acquisition, disposition, or other transfer of equity or claims on or after Nov. 29, 2011, in violation of the restrictions set forth in the Final Order shall be null and void ab initio and/or subject to sanctions as an act in violation of the automatic stay under sections 105(a) and 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

The Final Order applies to "Substantial Equityholders," being persons who are, or as a result of a transaction would become, the beneficial owner of approximately 4.5 percent of the outstanding shares of AMR Common Stock.  It also applies to "Substantial Claimholders," being persons who are, or as a result of a transaction become, the beneficial owner of unsecured claims in excess of a threshold amount of unsecured claims.  The initial threshold amount is $190 million, but the amount may be subsequently increased or decreased under certain circumstances in connection with the Debtors' filing of a Chapter 11 plan.  A copy of the notice of the Final Order, which includes complete definitions of "Substantial Equityholders" and "Substantial Claimholders" and the applicable notification requirements and restrictions, is available on the website of the Debtors' claims agent: http://www.amrcaseinfo.com/restrictions.php

Forward Looking StatementsThis press release contains "forward-looking statements." These statements are based on AMR management's current expectations and assumptions, and as such involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those that the company now anticipates — both in connection with the Chapter 11 filings and AMR's business and financial prospects.

No assurance can be made that these events will come to fruition. Readers are referred to the documents filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which further identify the important risk factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this release. Those risks include, without limitation, the potential impact of volatile and rising fuel prices. The company disclaims any obligation to update any forward looking statements.
