Approval of the 2023 Incentive Award Plan. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of American Airlines Group Inc. (the “Company”) previously adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the “2023 Plan”), which is intended to replace the Company’s 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the “2013 Plan”).
Employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as members of the Board, are eligible to receive awards under the 2023 Plan. The 2023 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance bonus awards, performance stock units, other stock or cash-based awards, and dividend equivalents to eligible individuals.
The Board approved a share reserve under the 2023 Plan equal to 17,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). The 2023 Plan’s share reserve will be reduced by one share of Common Stock for every one share granted under the 2013 Plan after March 22, 2023 (the date of Board approval of the 2023 Plan) and prior to the effective date of the 2023 Plan. At the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 10, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved the 2023 Plan.
The foregoing description of the 2023 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2023 Plan, attached as Appendix A to the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
