Lovejoy resigned as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of UAL Corporation and United Air Lines, Inc., effective November 1, 2009. On December 2, 2009, the Human Resources Subcommittee of the UAL Board approved the terms of a separation agreement with Mr. Lovejoy, and an agreement was entered into by the parties on that date (the “agreement”).
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Lovejoy will receive certain benefits, including cash payments equal to twelve months of his base salary plus his target annual incentive amount (60% of base salary). These payments will be made semimonthly until October 31, 2010. Mr. Lovejoy will also be paid for his unused vacation for 2009 and his accrued vacation for 2010. Consistent with the terms of the UAL Corporation 2006 Management Equity Incentive Plan and 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan, Mr. Lovejoy will forfeit all unvested cash incentive and equity-based awards and will have until January 31, 2010 to exercise vested stock options. In addition, Mr. Lovejoy will receive outplacement consulting services and continuation of certain medical and life insurance benefits through October 31, 2010.
Mr. Lovejoy will receive these benefits in consideration for agreeing to certain covenants in the agreement including non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants for the benefit of the Company, as well as a general release of claims. Through October 31, 2010, Mr. Lovejoy has agreed to cooperate with the Company with respect to any matter relating to matters he was involved with while employed by the Company.
