(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On April 28, 2016, American Airlines Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement with W. Douglas Parker, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to provide that Mr. Parker’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with the Company, originally entered into as of November 28, 2007, is terminated. The elimination of his employment agreement was at Mr. Parker’s request. As a result, Mr. Parker is no longer contractually entitled to receive a set level of compensation and benefits and is no longer protected by the change in control and severance provisions of the employment agreement. Notwithstanding the elimination of Mr. Parker’s employment agreement, Mr. Parker has agreed to remain obligated with respect to the covenants in the employment agreement that require post termination confidentiality and non-solicitation of employees.
