Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On September 17, 2010, UAL Corporation (“UAL”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 2, 2010, by and among UAL, Continental Airlines, Inc. (“Continental”) and JT Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of UAL (the “Merger Agreement”). The proposals submitted to UAL stockholders at the Special Meeting were as follows:

 

   

Proposal 1 – the approval of the issuance of shares of UAL common stock to Continental stockholders as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

   

Proposal 2 – the adoption of UAL’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Each proposal is described in detail in UAL’s definitive proxy statement, which was filed with the Commission on August 18, 2010.

The voting results for each proposal, including the numbers of votes cast for, against or withheld, and the number of abstentions and non-votes, are set forth below. The stockholders voted to approve Proposals 1 and 2. In connection with the Special Meeting, UAL also solicited proxies with respect to the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. As there were sufficient votes from UAL stockholders to approve Proposals 1 and 2, adjournment of the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies was unnecessary and the adjournment proposal was not submitted to UAL stockholders for approval at the Special Meeting.
