United Continental Holdings reported additional changes to its Board and a settlement agreement with Altimeter Capital Management, LP and PAR Capital Management, under which two of their designees, Edward L. Shapiro, Managing Partner and portfolio manager at PAR, and Barney Harford, former Chief Executive Officer of Orbitz Worldwide, will immediately join the Board. United will also add a mutually agreed independent director to the Board within six months. Altimeter has withdrawn its notice of intent to nominate directors at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and agreed to certain “stand-still” provisions. On March 6, 2016, three new independent directors joined the Board: James A.C. Kennedy, former President and Chief Executive Officer of T. Rowe Price Group, Robert A. Milton, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACE Aviation Holdings and previously Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada; and James M. Whitehurst, President and Chief Executive Officer of Red Hat and previously Chief Operating Officer of Delta Air Lines. Henry L. Meyer III, the current Non-Executive Chairman, and two other current directors, John H. Walker and Charles A. Yamarone, will be retiring and will not stand for re-election at the 2016 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, as of the 2016 Annual Meeting, seven of the Company’s 14 directors – and five of the 11 independent directors – will be new to the Board since March 1st, 2016.
