The Exchange Offer and the Solicitation were made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the confidential exchange offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated December 17, 2024 in respect of the Exchange Offer and Solicitation (the \"Offering Memorandum\").\nAny capitalized terms used in this press release without definition have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Offering Memorandum.\nThe Exchange Offer and the Solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 21, 2025 (the \"Expiration Deadline\"). As of the Expiration Deadline, Morrow Sodali International LLC, trading as Sodali & Co, the information agent and exchange agent in connection with the Exchange Offer and the Solicitation (the \"Information and Exchange Agent\") advised Azul that 99.69% of the total outstanding principal amount of the Existing Notes had been validly tendered for exchange and not validly withdrawn. Therefore, the Minimum Exchange Condition (as defined below) for consummation of the Exchange Offer has been satisfied.\nThe obligation of the Issuer to complete the Exchange Offer and the Solicitation is subject to certain conditions described in the Offering Memorandum, which include (i) the receipt of Existing Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Expiration Deadline representing not less than 66.67% of the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes outstanding (the \"Minimum Exchange Condition\"), (ii) certain amendments to the indenture (escritura de emissão de debêntures) governing the convertible debentures issued by Azul and certain collateral and other documents are required to be amended or replaced in respect of such convertible debentures, (iii) the issuance of at least US$500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Superpriority Notes, secured by the Shared Collateral and other collateral on a \"superpriority\" basis, the issuance of which is subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Support Agreement, including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth therein, (iv) the consummation of Second Out Notes Exchange Offers in accordance with the terms set forth in the Second Out Notes Exchange Offer Memorandum (which Second Out Notes Exchange Offers are conditioned, among other conditions, on the participation of not less than 95% of the aggregate principal amount of both series of Existing Second Out Notes (taken together) (which participation condition has been satisfied), and (v) certain other customary conditions. Certain of these conditions are subject to waiver by Azul.\nSubject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, Azul expects that settlement of the Exchange Offer will occur promptly and will announce the settlement date in due course (the \"Settlement Date\").\nOn the Settlement Date, the Issuer expects that it will accept for exchange and settle the Exchange Offer for all Existing Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) for the Total Early Consideration. The Issuer will not pay, on the Settlement Date, any accrued and unpaid interest in cash with respect to the Existing Notes accepted for exchange by the Issuer. However, the interest commencement date for the New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer shall be November 28, 2024 (which is the start of the prevailing interest period for the Existing Notes on the Settlement Date).\nIn addition, as previously disclosed, the Issuer has received the requisite consents sufficient to effect the Proposed Amendments with respect to Existing Notes. Therefore, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Offering Memorandum, on the Settlement Date, the Issuer intends to execute a supplemental indenture to effectuate the Proposed Amendments to the terms of the Existing Notes.\nMiscellaneous\nThe offering, issuance and sale of the New Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the \"Securities Act\"), or any state securities laws. Only Eligible Holders of Existing Notes who have properly completed and submitted the Eligibility Certification are authorized to receive and review the Offering Memorandum. The Eligibility Certification requires holders of Existing Notes to certify, among other things, that they are either (1) a U.S. Person that is also a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) that is not, has not been during the prior three months prior, and on the applicable Settlement Date will not be, a director, officer or \"affiliate\" (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer or any other Obligor; or (2) a person other than a U.S. Person (as defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is outside the United States. Only Eligible Holders that also comply with the other requirements set forth in the Offering Memorandum were eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer and the Solicitation. In addition, the New Notes may not be transferred to or held by a Competitor.\nNo Offer or Solicitation\nThis press release does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell the Existing Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the New Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Exchange Offer and Solicitation were made only pursuant to the Offering Memorandum and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law.\nThe New Notes have not been and will not be issued or placed, distributed, offered or traded in the Brazilian capital markets. The issuance of the New Notes has not been nor will be registered with the CVM. Any public offering or distribution, as defined under Brazilian laws and regulations, of the New Notes in Brazil is not legal without prior registration under Brazilian Securities Markets Law, and CVM Resolution 160, dated July 13, 2022, as amended. Documents relating to the offering of the New Notes, as well as information contained therein, may not be supplied to the public in Brazil (as the offering of the New Notes is not a public offering of securities in Brazil), nor be used in connection with any offer for subscription or sale of the New Notes to the public in Brazil, except to professional investors (as defined under Brazilian laws and regulations), and in accordance with CVM Resolution 160. The New Notes will not be offered or sold in Brazil, except in circumstances, which do not constitute a public offering, placement, distribution or negotiation of securities in the Brazilian capital markets regulated by Brazilian legislation. Holders of Existing Notes should consult with their own counsel as to the applicability of registration requirements or any exemption therefrom.\nNone of the Issuer, the Guarantors, any of their respective directors or officers, the Information and Exchange Agent, or the Existing Notes Trustee, the New Notes Trustee, or in each case, any of their respective affiliates, made any recommendation as to whether Eligible Holders should tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of the Existing Notes in response to the Exchange Offer, or deliver consents in response to the Solicitation. Eligible Holders were required to make their own decision as to whether to tender Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer and participate in the Solicitation and, if so, the principal amount of Existing Notes to tender.\nCautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements\nThis press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws.
