On March 24, 2025, American Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“”) and AAdvantage Loyalty IP Ltd. (“” and with American, collectively, the “”), an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, entered into a Second Amendment to Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “”) to the Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2021 (prior to the entry into Second Amendment, the “” and, as amended by the Second Amendment, the “”), with, among others, the lenders party thereto, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral administrator.

As a result of the Second Amendment, the term loans outstanding under the Prior 2021 Credit Agreement with a principal amount of $2.275 billion (the “”) were replaced with new term loans in the same principal amount (the “”). The terms of the Replacement 2021 Term Loans are substantially similar to the terms of the Prior 2021 Term Loans; however, (A) the Replacement 2021 Term Loans bear interest at a base rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin of 1.25% per annum or, at the Borrowers’ option, the SOFR rate for a tenor of three months (subject to a floor of 0.00%), plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum and (B) the scheduled principal amortization amount was reduced to 0.25% of the amount of the Replacement 2021 Term Loans outstanding on the effective date of the Second Amendment, payable quarterly beginning in July 2025. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Replacement 2021 Term Loans are not subject to a cost spread adjustment.

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Second Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

American Airlines Group Inc. (the “”) will settle its 6.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “”) at their upcoming maturity in cash (including any conversions up to a price per share of common stock of approximately $22.00) as described in more detail below and in Exhibit 99.1.

On March 27, 2025, the Company provided notice to the holders of its Notes that the Company has changed the default settlement method applicable to conversions of the Notes to provide that no shares of the Company’s common stock will be due upon settlement of the conversion of any Note (and, accordingly, such conversion will be settled entirely in cash) if the volume-weighted average price per share of common stock of the Company does not exceed approximately $22.00 on any trading day of the 20 trading day “observation period” over which the consideration due upon conversion is calculated and determined. A copy of the notice is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

After giving effect to the change to the default settlement method described above, the Company is updating its forecast of weighted average number of shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ending December 31, 2025 as follows:
