ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On October 31, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), American Airlines, Inc. (“American”) and American Airlines Group Inc. (“AAG”) entered into a First Amendment to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “First Amendment”), amending the Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 29, 2016 (the “2016 Credit Agreement”), among American, AAG, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and certain other parties thereto.

On the Closing Date, the aggregate principal amount of the term loans outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term Loans”) was $1,000 million. Under the First Amendment, American refinanced the Existing Term Loans with proceeds of term loans incurred pursuant to the First Amendment (the “New Term Loans”). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the interest rate margin on the New Term Loans was reduced to 2.50% for those loans with interest rates based on LIBOR (compared to 2.75% for the Existing Term Loans) and to 1.50% for loans with interest rates based on an index (compared to 1.75% for the Existing Term Loans).

See the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of AAG and American for the period ended September 30, 2016 for more information regarding the credit facilities established under the 2016 Credit Agreement.
