RELEVANT INFORMATION

Avianca Holdings S.A. (“AVH” or the “Company”), informs:

1. AVH reaffirms its continuing commitment to move forward with its previously announced process to enter into a strategic alliance with a world-class global partner. Taking into account the various indications of interest received during this process and the long-term interests of AVH, AVH intends to pursue a strategic commercial alliance with United Airlines whose terms and conditions are yet to be negotiated. AVH’s Board of Directors authorized AVH to conduct all the analysis and to take all necessary steps in connection with such potential strategic-commercial alliance.

2. On a different matter, AVH was informed by Synergy Aerospace Corp. in its capacity as controlling shareholder, that Synergy intends to make a capital contribution to AVH of up to US$200.000.000. Synergy has advised AVH that Synergy’s intent is that AVH would afford all its shareholders, including preferred shareholders, the opportunity to participate in such capitalization on a pro-rata basis. This proposed capitalization would be subject to all necessary corporate, regulatory and other approvals.

3. Finally, Synergy also informed AVH of Synergy’s intention to seek all necessary approvals for the eventual combination of AVH with Avianca Brasil (OceanAir), a Brazilian airline controlled by Synergy, on fair and reasonable terms for both companies.
