Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged. | ||
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration | |
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
The Common Shares and Preferred Shares acquired pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (as defined in Item 4 below) were purchased by Mr. Neeleman and by Mr. Jose Mario Caprioli dos Stantos using personal funds and by Rio Novo using working capital. | ||
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
In connection with the previously disclosed Restructuring Transactions, the Board authorized a capital increase of the Company (the "Capital Increase") pursuant to a private subscription in Brazil, comprising the issuance of additional Common Shares and Preferred Shares on a private placement basis. Each of the Reporting Persons was entitled to exercise his or its preemptive right to purchase a proportionate share of the newly issued shares pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (as defined below) entered into with respect thereto.
Subscription Agreement
Mr. Neeleman, Rio Novo and Jose Mario Caprioli dos Stantos each entered into a subscription agreement, dated March 31, 2025 (each, a "Subscription Agreement" and collectively, the "Subscription Agreements") with the Issuer pursuant to which Mr. Neeleman (and thereby, the Neeleman Parties) and the TRIP Parties (including for this purpose Jose Mario Caprioli dos Santos) each acquired its collective proportionate interest in the Common Shares (the "Additional Shares") issued pursuant to the Capital Increase at a purchase price of BRL 0.06 per Common Share in a private placement. Pursuant to the terms of the Capital Increase disclosed by the Issuer in a notice to shareholders on February 20, 2025, subscribers that wish to pay for the Additional Shares in installments must initially pay at least 10% of the amount subscribed, with the remaining amount due no later than six months thereafter, according to capital calls to be disclosed by the Issuer, in accordance with Article 106 of Brazilian Federal Law No. 6,404 dated December 15, 1976. Each subscribing Reporting Person elected to pay the remaining 90% of the subscription price upon the capital calls to be disclosed by the Issuer. The Additional Shares are expected to be issued on or around April 10, 2025. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Reporting Persons will acquire the following Additional Shares:
Mr. Neeleman: 804,000,063 Common Shares, convertible into 10,720,000 Preferred Shares;
Trip Participacoes: 0 Common Shares;
Trip Investimentos: 0 Common Shares;
Rio Novo: 204,526,872 Common Shares, convertible into 2,727,024 Preferred Shares; and
Jose Mario Caprioli dos Santos: 191,473,128 Common Shares, convertible into 3,615,710 Preferred Shares. Mr. dos Santos also may be deemed to beneficially own the Preferred Shares owned by Trip Investimentos by virtue of his involvement as the executive officer of Trip Investimentos.
Mr. Decio Luiz Chieppe may be deemed to beneficially own the Preferred Shares owned by Trip Participacoes and Rio Novo by virtue of his interest in each entity and his involvement as an executive officer and director of Trip Participacoes and an executive officer of Rio Novo.
Mr. Renan Chieppe may be deemed to beneficially own the Preferred Shares owned by Trip Participacoes by virtue of his involvement as an executive officer and director of Trip Participacoes.
The net proceeds received by the Issuer pursuant to the Capital Increase will be used for general corporate purposes.
The Additional Shares acquired by the Reporting Persons, once issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, will be subject to the terms and conditions of the previously disclosed Support Agreement and Shareholders' Agreement, including the obligation to vote the Additional Shares in favor of any corporate actions necessary to implement the Governance Conditions and restrictions on the sale or transfer of the Additional Shares unless the acquiror agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Support Agreement.
