9. Stock Awards and Options (Continued)
Under the 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, officers and key employees of AMR and its subsidiaries
may be granted stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, deferred stock, stock purchase
rights, other stock-based awards and/or performance-related awards, including cash bonuses. The total number
of common shares authorized for distribution under the 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan is 23,700,000 shares. The
1998 Long Term Incentive Plan, the successor to the 1988 Long Term Incentive Plan, will terminate no later than
May 21, 2008.
Options granted under the 1988 and 1998 Long Term Incentive Plans (collectively, the LTIP Plans) and the 2003
Plan are awarded with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on date of grant, become
exercisable in equal annual installments over periods ranging from two to five years following the date of grant and
expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2004, approximately 7.4 million shares
were available for future grant under the LTIP Plans and the 2003 Plan.
In May 1997, in conjunction with a labor agreement reached between American and members of the Allied Pilots
Association (APA), the Company established the Pilots Stock Option Plan (The Pilot Plan). The Pilot Plan granted
members of the APA the option to purchase 11.5 million shares of AMR stock at $41.69 per share (after giving
effect to the 1998 stock-split), $5 less than the average fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. These
shares were exercisable immediately. In conjunction with the Sabre spin-off (March 2000), the exercise price was
adjusted to $17.59 per share.
Stock option activity under the LTIP Plans, the Pilot Plan and the 2003 Plan was:
