Court Fazenda Pública do Município de São Paulo.
Case Number 1004194-37.2018.8.26.0053 (EF 1526893-48.2018.8.26.0090)
Origin This is a voidance action appealing the charges for violations and fines (67.168.795 / 67.168.833 / 67.168.884 / 67.168.906 / 67.168.914 / 67.168.965). We are arguing that numbers are missing from the ISS calculation base since the company supposedly made improper deductions.
Stage of trial The lawsuit was assigned on January 31, 2018.  That same day, a decision was rendered suspending the charges without any bond. The municipality filed an appeal against this decision on April 30, 2018. On November 11, 2019 there was a totally favorable decision for Tam Viagens S.A. The court issued a ruling in favor of Tam Viagens S/A on June 24, 2021. An appeal by the Municipality is pending.

Court United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
Case Number Case No. 20-11254
Origin LATAM Airlines initiated a reorganization proceeding in the United States of America in accordance with the regulations established in Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Code of the United States of America, filing a voluntary request for relief pursuant thereto (the “Chapter 11 Proceeding”), which grants an automatic stay of enforcement for at least 180 days.
Stage of trial On May 26, 2020, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and 28 subsidiaries (the “Initial Debtors”) individually filed a voluntary petition for reorganization with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Subsequently, on July 7 and 9, 2020, 9 additional affiliated debtors (the “Subsequent Debtors” and together with the Initial Debtors, the “Subsequent Debtors”), including TAM Linhas Aereas S.A., filed voluntary bankruptcy applications with the Court pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The cases are pending resolution before the Honorable James L. Garrity Jr. in United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District Court of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and are being jointly administered under case number 20-11254. On September 18, 2020, the Debtors received approval of the modified funding proposal for Debtor in Possession (“DIP”) funding filed on September 17, 2020 from the Bankruptcy Court.  On October 18, 2021 the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors’ request for certain additional DIP funding, namely a “Tranche B” facility.  On November 26, 2021, the Debtors filed a joint plan of reorganization together with a disclosure statement.  A hearing will be conducted on January 27, 2022 to rule on the adequacy of the disclosure statement.  The Bankruptcy Court has extended the Debtors’ exclusive period to solicit acceptances for the plan to January 26, 2022.  The Subsequent Debtors have sought an additional extension of their exclusive periods to file and solicit acceptances for the plan, until January 7, 2022 and March 7, 2022 respectively.  A hearing on that request will be conducted on January 27, 2022. LATAM has continued its process of reconciling claims and presenting objections. Likewise, LATAM continues to evaluate its contracts and has rejected some of them. It continues with the review of its existing fleet obligations, and pursuing solicitation and confirmation of its plan.
