Regulation FD Disclosure |
Delta Air Lines, Inc. today issued a press release announcing it has closed $2.1 billion of
financing transactions. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this report
(including exhibits) that is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K shall not be deemed
to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, or
otherwise subject to liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by
reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth
in such filing. This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any
information in the report that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
Statements in this Form 8-K and the attached exhibit that are not historical facts, including
statements regarding our estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions, projections or strategies
for the future, may be “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates, expectations, beliefs,
intentions, projections and strategies reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the cost of aircraft fuel; the
effects of the global recession; the effects of the global financial crisis; the impact of posting
collateral in connection with our fuel hedge contracts; the impact that our indebtedness may have
on our financial and operating activities and our ability to incur additional debt; the
restrictions that financial covenants in our financing agreements will have on our financial and
business operations; labor issues; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our merger
with Northwest; the integration of the Delta and Northwest workforces; interruptions or disruptions
in service at one of our hub airports; our increasing dependence on technology in its operations;
our ability to retain management and key employees; the ability of our credit card processors to
take significant holdbacks in certain circumstances; the effects of terrorist attacks; the impact
of the rapid spread of contagious illnesses; and competitive conditions in the airline industry.
Additional information concerning risks and uncertainties that could cause differences between
actual results and forward-looking statements is contained in Delta’s Securities and Exchange
Commission filings, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008 and Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009. Caution should be taken not to
place undue reliance on Delta’s forward-looking statements, which represent Delta’s views only as
of September 28, 2009, and which Delta has no current intention to update.
