On June 18, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order confirming the Reorganization Plan filed by the Debtors (the “Confirmation Order”). On July 5, 2022, a Special Shareholders Meeting of LATAM approved implementing the Restructuring Plan and issuing the required instruments to be able to exit the Chapter 11 Procedure. On November 3, 2022, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its various subsidiaries (the “Debtors”) that were parties to the Chapter 11 Procedure exited that Procedure.
