Azul Announces Lessors Equity Issuance Date
São Paulo, March 28, 2025 - Azul S.A. (B3: AZUL4, NYSE: AZUL) (“Azul” or “Company”) announces today that the closing date of the lessors equity issuance has been determined and is expected to occur on April 3, 2025.
As disclosed by the Company on February 4, 2025, the lessor equity issuance is being conducted through a private subscription of new non-voting shares with preemptive rights for existing shareholders. Lessors have entered into binding agreements to subscribe for 96,009,988 preferred shares in exchange for the elimination of equity issuance obligations owed to lessors totaling approximately US$525 million (or R$3.1 billion at the agreed exchange rate).
On March 24, 2025, the Company disclosed that the period for the subscription of the unsubscribed shares began on March 25, 2025 and will end on March 31, 2025. Accordingly, the Company expects to issue the relevant non-voting shares on April 3, 2025.
The lessors have agreed to lock-up restrictions on the trading of the AZUL4 non-voting shares (including in the form of ADRs) that they will receive. The lockups include the following release schedule:
· | 25,727,565 preferred shares to be released on July 3, 2025; |
· | 36,866,279 preferred shares to be released on October 3, 2025; |
· | 11,138,715 preferred shares to be released on January 3, 2026; |
· | 11,138,715 preferred shares to be released on April 3, 2026; and |
· | 11,138,715 preferred shares to be released on July 3, 2026. |
In addition, Azul has continued to work collaboratively with its creditors, and pursuant to the terms of its existing second out secured bonds, by April 30, 2025, the Company will mandatorily exchange US$274.6 million of debt into preferred shares (including those represented by ADRs) at R$3.58 per preferred share. While the preferred shares and ADRs will be freely tradable, the Company is exploring the possibility of negotiating lock-up agreements with certain holders of its second out secured bonds. There can be no assurance that any lock-up agreements will be reached, and the Company will communicate to the market if such agreements are entered into.
The Company will keep its shareholders and the market in general duly informed of any updates related to the matters discussed herein through the disclosure of a notice to the market or material fact, as applicable, published on the Company's website (www.ri.voeazul.com.br), CVM (www.gov.br/cvm) and B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (www.b3.com.br).
