ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION During August 1995, American Airlines, Inc. (American) and the Transport Workers Union (TWU) reached a tentative agreement on eight separate labor contracts covering approximately 27,000 ground support personnel. Although it has not been officially notified by the TWU, as of September 27, 1995, American understands seven of the eight contracts (covering approximately 13,000 personnel) may have been ratified by TWU members. The contracts, if declared by the TWU to have been ratified, include provisions for early retirement which are expected to result in a substantial charge to American's earnings during the quarter ending December 31, 1995. This charge, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or liquidity of American. American is currently awaiting notification from the TWU as to the status of the contracts. 3 Signatures Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
