ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

On June 21, 2020, American Airlines Group Inc. (“AAG”) issued a press release announcing its intention to commence (i) an underwritten public offering of $750 million of shares of its common stock (the “Common Stock Offering”) and (ii) an underwritten public offering of $750 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Senior Notes Offering”). American Airlines, Inc. (“AAI” and, together with AAG, the “Companies”) also issued a press release announcing its intention to commence a private offering of $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of secured senior notes due 2025 (the “Senior Secured Notes Offering”) and to enter into a new $500 million term loan facility due 2024 (the “New Term Loan Facility”). A copy of AAG’s press release with respect to the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Senior Notes Offering is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form

8-K

and a copy of AAI’s press release with respect to the Senior Secured Notes Offering and the New Term Loan Facility is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form

8-K,

and, in each case, is incorporated herein by reference.

On June 22, 2020, in connection with the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Senior Notes Offering, AAG filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (i) a preliminary prospectus supplement to its effective shelf registration statement on Form

S-3

(File No.

333-236503)

pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the Common Stock Offering and (ii) a preliminary prospectus supplement to its effective shelf registration statement on Form

S-3

(File No.

333-236503)

pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act relating to the Convertible Senior Notes Offering.

In connection with the transactions described above, the Companies are filing the updated risk factors attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3.

As previously reported, AAG has applied for a secured loan in the amount of approximately $4.75 billion through the loan program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The loan program continues to progress, and AAG presently expects to obtain a binding commitment for the loan in June 2020. However, AAG has not yet finalized the terms of a binding commitment or a definitive agreement related to this loan, and thus final terms and conditions and closing remain subject to ongoing negotiation, entry by the parties into definitive documentation and satisfaction of closing conditions.
