ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
On November 10, 2020, American Airlines Group Inc. (“AAG”) issued a press release announcing its intention to commence an underwritten public offering of 38,500,000 shares of its common stock (the “Common Stock Offering”). A copy of AAG’s press release with respect to the Common Stock Offering is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K
and is incorporated herein by reference.
On November 10, 2020, AAG filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 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.
In connection with the offering described above, AAG is providing an update on the ATM Offering (as defined below) and its liquidity position. Pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated October 22, 2020, AAG is selling, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1,000,000,000 through Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and BNP Paribas Securities Corp. (the “ATM Offering”). As of November 9, 2020, we have sold 57,858,333 shares of our common stock for an aggregate gross sales price of $702,112,888 pursuant to the ATM Offering and shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of $297,887,112 remain available for sale pursuant to the ATM Offering. As a result of the
lock-up
provisions included in the underwriting agreement with respect to the Common Stock Offering, we will not be permitted to conduct additional sales under the ATM Offering until December 10, 2020 if the Common Stock Offering is consummated. The 38,500,000 shares of common stock we are offering pursuant the Common Stock Offering are in addition to, and not a part of, the ATM Offering. As a result of the sales made pursuant to the ATM Offering as of November 9, 2020 and the proceeds from the proposed Common Stock Offering, assuming the offering is consummated, AAG expects to end the fourth quarter of 2020 with more than $14.5 billion in total available liquidity, which excludes any additional proceeds from sales of our common stock that we may still make pursuant to the remaining capacity available under the ATM Offering.
