(1)During March and April 2020, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. drew the entirety (US$ 600 million) of the committed credit line “Revolving Credit Facility (RCF)”. The line is guaranteed with collateral made up of aircraft, engines and spare parts, which was fully drawn until November 3, 2022. Once emerged from Chapter 11, this line was fully repaid and is available to be drawn.

 

(2)On May 26, 2020 LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its subsidiaries in Chile, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy law in the Court for the Southern District of New York. Under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. The same occurred for TAM LINHAS AÉREAS S.A and its affiliates (all LATAM affiliates in Brazil), dated July 9, 2020. Filing for Chapter 11 automatically suspends most actions against LATAM and its affiliates, including most of actions to collect financial obligations incurred before the Chapter 11 filing date or to exercise control over the property of LATAM and its affiliates. Consequently, although the bankruptcy filing may have caused defaults for some of the obligations of LATAM and its affiliates, the counterparties cannot take any action as a result of such defaults.

 

Then, on November 3, 2022, the Company and all of its subsidiaries successfully emerged from Chapter 11.

 

(3)On September 29, 2020, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. obtained Debtor-in-Possession (“DIP”) financing for a total of US$2,450 million, composed of US$1,300 million of a tranche A (“Tranche A”) and US$1,150 million of a tranche C (“Tranche C” ), of which US$750 million were provided by related parties. Obligations under the DIP were secured by assets owned by LATAM and certain of its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, shares, certain engines and spare parts.

 

On October 8, 2020, LATAM made a partial withdrawal for US$1,150 million from Tranche A and Tranche C, and then, on or around June 22, 2021, LATAM made an additional withdrawal for US$500 million from Tranche A and Tranche C.

 

On October 18, 2021, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. obtained court approval for a Tranche B (“Tranche B”) of the DIP Financing for up to a total of US$750 million. The obligations of this Tranche B, like the previous tranches, were guaranteed with the same guarantees granted by LATAM and its subsidiaries subject to the Chapter 11 Procedure, included without limitation, by pledges on shares, certain engines and spare parts. The following draws on the DIP must be done from Tranche B until the proportion drawn is equal to the proportion drawn on the other tranches. When the proportions were the same, new draws are done on a pro-rata basis on all tranches.

 

On November 10, 2021, the Company made a partial transfer for US$200 million from Tranche B and later on December 28, 2021, LATAM made a new transfer for MUS$ 100. After these transfers, LATAM still It had US$1,250 million of line available for future transfers.

 

On March 14, 2022, LATAM made a transfer for MUS$ 38.6 from Tranche A, US$227.3 million from Tranche B and US$34.1 million from Tranche C.

Finally, it should be noted that this extension was not carried out and that this DIP financing was paid in full on April 8, 2022, being replaced by a new consolidated and modified DIP Credit Agreement.

 

On February 17, 2022, LATAM submitted an initial proposal (the “Consolidated and Modified Initial DIP Financing Proposal”) of a consolidated and modified text of the contract called Super-Priority Debtor-In-Possession Term Loan Agreement before the Court of Bankruptcies of the Southern District of New York.

 

On March 14, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company, unanimously, approved the Amended and Restated DIP Financing Proposal, subject to the approval of the Court. On March 14, 2022, a new consolidated and modified contract of the Existing DIP Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated DIP Credit Agreement”) was submitted to the Court for its approval. The NewDIP Credit Agreement (i) refinances and fully replaces the existing Tranches A, B and C in the Existing DIP Credit Agreement; (ii) contemplates a maturity date in accordance with the calendar that the Debtors foresee to emerge from the Chapter 11 Procedure; and (iii) includes certain reductions in fees and interest compared to the Existing DIP Credit Agreement and the Recast and Amended DIP Initial Financing Proposal. Obligations under the DIP were secured by assets owned by LATAM and certain of its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, shares, certain engines and spare parts.

Regarding the latter, the scheduled expiration date of the intitial DIP Credit Agreement was August 8, 2022, subject to to possible extensions that, in certain cases, had a deadline of November 30, 2022.

 

Likewise, on April 8, 2022, the initial disbursement took place under the Amended and Restated DIP Credit Agreement for the amount of US$2,750 million. On April 28, 2022, an amendment to this contract was signed, extending the expiration date from August 8, 2022 to October 14, 2022.

On October 12, 2022, this Amended and Restated DIP Credit Agreement was fully repaid with the DIP-to-Exit financing, which contemplated US$750 million of a bridge financing for senior secured notes maturing in 2027, US$750 million of another bridge financing for senior secured notes due 2029, US$750 Mn of a Term Financing, US$1,146 million of a Junior DIP financing, and US$ 500 million of an undrawn Revolving Credit Facility. The DIP-to-exit financing was collateralized by assets owned by LATAM and by certain of its subsidiaries. The Junior DIP contemplated a subordinate priority to the rest of the credits.

 

On October 18, 2022, the Bridge Loans were partially repaid by; (i) a Note issued from registration under U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S, both under the Securities Act, due in 2027 (the “5 Year Note”), with a total principal amount of US$ 450 million, and (ii) a Note issued from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation A, both under the Securities Act, due in 2029 (the “7 Year Note”), with a total principal amount of US$ 700 million.

 

In the context of the Company’s exit from the Chapter 11 proceedings on November 3, 2022, the DIP-to-Exit financing was fully repaid with the funds from the exit financing issued by the Company, which included US$350 million corresponding to an incremental loan Term B; US$450 million in senior secured notes due 2027, US$700 million in senior secured notes due 2029 and a Term Financing of US$1,1 billion, with part of the proceeds from the capital increase implemented in the context of the reorganization process for a total of approximately US$10,3 billion, through the issuance of new payment shares and convertible notes.

(1)They cover the significant variations in the cash flows associated with the market risk implicit in the increases in the 3-month LIBOR interest rate, SOFR, among others, for long-term loans originated by the acquisition or rental of aircraft and Bank credits. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedge contracts.

 

(2)Hedge significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes in the price of future fuel purchases. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges.

 

(3)Hedge significant variations in expected cash flows associated with the market risk implicit in changes in exchange rates, particularly the BRL/R$. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedge contracts.

 

The Company only maintains cash flow hedges. In the case of fuel hedges, the cash flows subject to such hedges will occur and will impact results in the next 12 months from the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

All hedging operations have been performed for highly probable transactions, except for fuel hedge. See Note 3.

 

See Note 24 (h) for reclassification to profit or loss for each hedging operation and Note 17 (b) for deferred taxes related.
