Azul updates the market on its proposal for a potential business combination with LATAM
São Paulo, November 28, 2021 – Azul S.A., “Azul” or “Company”, (B3: AZUL4, NYSE: AZUL), informs the market on recent developments regarding a proposal for a business combination with LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (“LATAM”).
As disclosed by LATAM in a public filing on November 26, 2021, Azul clarifies that it confidentially submitted, together with select LATAM creditors, a non-binding proposal for a business combination with LATAM (the "Proposal") on November 11, 2021. The Proposal included around US$5 billion of equity financing (“New Equity Financing”) backstopped by certain members of the ad hoc group of LATAM creditors comprised of several prominent financial institutions (“Ad Hoc LATAM Creditors”).
Under the Proposal, ownership of the combined company would be split between Azul’s current shareholders, LATAM creditors receiving equity for their claims, and participants in the proposed New Equity Financing. Azul and the Ad Hoc LATAM Creditors agreed that governance of the combined company would be comprised of an independent group of directors to ensure alignment between shareholders of the combined company.
Azul believes the Proposal would provide significant increased network growth, an expanded range of destinations, and improved convenience, products, and services, benefiting Azul’s and LATAM’s customers. These benefits would generate synergies estimated to be worth over US$4 billion in incremental equity value above and beyond LATAM’s standalone plan, therefore providing significant value accretion to Azul’s shareholders and higher recovery to all of LATAM’s creditor, in accordance with the US Chapter 11 rules.
The standalone plan presented by LATAM is, by definition, unable to generate synergies from a combination. Additionally, at this moment the stated valuation that has been put forth in LATAM’s standalone plan is higher than Azul believes to be credible given the continued uncertainties in the aviation industry, especially in the international long-haul markets.
As a result, Azul will continue to focus on its exclusive competitive advantages provided by its unique network and fleet flexibility, complemented by the high potential growth of all businesses such as Azul Cargo, Azul Viagens and TudoAzul, and to evaluate future partnerships and consolidation opportunities available in the market.
Azul will keep the market updated of any developments.
