(b). Rodney E. Slater is a member of the Board of Directors of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”). On February 15, 2011, Mr. Slater, who is a partner in the law firm of Patton Boggs LLP, informed Delta that he has decided not to stand for reelection to Delta’s Board of Directors at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders because Delta has decided to retain Patton Boggs to provide certain professional services and this retention would limit Mr. Slater’s ability to serve on certain committees of Delta’s Board of Directors. Mr. Slater has not advised Delta of any disagreement with Delta on any matter relating to Delta’s operations, policies or practices.
