Notice to Shareholders

 

São Paulo, April 26, 2019 - GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (NYSE: GOL and B3: GOLL4), (“Company”), Brazil’s premier domestic airline, in compliance with Law No. 6404, of December 15, 1976, as amended ("Brazilian Corporate Law"), and regulations of the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários,CVM”), hereby informs its shareholders that its Board of Directors approved, at a meeting held today, the Company’s issuance of subscription warrants. This notice sets forth the conditions for shareholders’ exercise of their preemptive right to subscribe to the subscription warrants, pursuant to the sole paragraph of Article 77 and paragraph 1, item "b", of Article 171 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

1.         General Features of the Subscription Warrants


The Company will issue up to 56,052,996 subscription warrants, all nominative, in a single series, through a private issuance addressed primarily to the Company's current shareholders, within the limit of the Company's authorized capital ("
Warrants").

 

The issuance price of the Warrants was set at R$13.04 ("Subscription Price") based on a study prepared by Brasilpar Serviços Financeiros Ltda., at the request of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Each Warrant will give its holder the right to subscribe to one preferred share issued by the Company, which, when issued, will carry the same rights attributed to the other preferred shares issued by the Company, including the full receipt of dividends or interest on own capital that may be declared by the Company as of the issuance date of the Warrant and all other rights and benefits that may be conferred to holders of the Company’s preferred shares on equal terms and conditions.

The corresponding exercise price was set at R$39.24 per preferred share ("Exercise Price"). The terms and conditions of the Warrants were set in line with the assumptions of, and in order to enable, GOL Equity Finance's exchangeable debt offering announced on March 14, 2019.

The Warrants will be registered in book-entry form and kept in custody at Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A. ("Itaú Corretora"), the bookkeeping agent of shares issued by the Company.

The Warrants that are subscribed to will be admitted to trading on the B3, as of a date to be timely informed to shareholders, after the end of apportionment of the remaining Warrants on a date to be informed by the Company.

Proceeds from the Warrants will be used to finance the Company’s airline activities.

2.         Preemptive Right

Pursuant to the procedures established by the B3 and Itaú Corretora, shareholders of the Company that hold shares as of May 2, 2019 will be entitled to the preemptive right to subscribe to the Warrants in proportion to the number of shares held by them, as set forth in Article 171, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporate Law ("Preemptive Right"). For the purpose of this calculation, all shares issued by the Company, whether common or preferred, were considered, although common shares were considered at a ratio of 35:1.

Notice to Shareholders

 

 

Any shares of the Company acquired on or after May 3, 2019 will not be entitled to the Preemptive Right.

Each one preferred share issued by the Company will entitle its holder to the right to subscribe to 0,160142595 Warrant.

 

Each one common share issued by the Company will entitle its holder to the right to subscribe to 0,004575503 Warrant.

 

Any fractions of Warrants resulting from the exercise of the Preemptive Right shall be disregarded. Any such fractions will be grouped in whole numbers of Warrants and will be considered remaining Warrants that can be subscribed to by investors who have declared their interest in them during the subscription period.

In case of minimum subscription to the Warrants and exercise by holders of their rights, as mentioned in item 6 below, dilution would be 8.87%.

3.         Term for Exercise of the Preemptive Right

The Preemptive Right must be exercised from and including May 8, 2019 to and including June 10, 2019, subject to the terms established by Itaú Corretora and the B3 ("Term for Exercise of the Preemptive Right”).

 

4.         Procedure for Exercise of the Preemptive Right, Subscription and Payment of the Warrants

 

Shareholders that wish to exercise their Preemptive Right must follow the procedures below and must pay, upon subscription, the Subscription Price in Brazilian reais, according to the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of Warrants subscribed to by the Subscription Price:

 

(i)         Shares Held at Itaú Corretora: Holders of shares held at Itaú Corretora who wish to exercise their Preemptive Right must, within the Term for Exercise of the Preemptive Right, go to one of the specialized agencies indicated at the end of this Notice to Shareholders to (A) fill and sign the subscription form, according to the form to be made available by Itaú Corretora, and (B) deliver the documentation set forth below. Shareholders will be attended on business days, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., until the end of the Term for Exercise of the Preemptive Right.

 

(ii)        Shares Held at the Central Depository of the B3: Holders of shares held at the Central Depositary of the B3 must exercise their Preemptive Right until the end of the Term for Exercise of the Preemptive Right and pay the Subscription Price in accordance with the instructions of the custodian agents and in accordance with the rules stipulated by the Central Depository of the B3.

5.         Assignment of Subscription Rights

 

Preemptive Rights may be freely assigned to third parties, pursuant to Article 171, paragraph 6, of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

Holders of shares issued by the Company must observe the procedures established by the B3 and Itaú Corretora for assignment of their Preemptive Rights.

 

The Company’s controlling shareholder, Fundo de Investimento em Participações Volluto Multiestratégia Investimento no Exterior and Mobi Fundo de Investimento em Ações, informed the Company that it has assigned its Preemptive Rights to GOL Equity Finance, which, in turn, expressed its commitment to subscribe to the totality of the Warrants to which it is entitled, i.e., 34,074,063 Warrants.

6.         Possibility of Partial Subscription

 

Partial subscription to the Warrants will be allowed provided that at least 34,074,063 of the total Warrants issued are subscribed to, which requirement is fulfilled considering GOL Equity Finance’s subscription commitment and the Company’s authorized capital on the exercise date of the Warrants.

 

Considering that partial subscription to the Warrants will be allowed, subscribers must indicate upon subscription whether, in the case of a partial subscription, they choose to receive (a) the totality of the Warrants they subscribed to or (b) the amount equivalent to the ratio between the number of Warrants actually subscribed to and the maximum number of Warrants subject to the issuance.

Subscribers who wish to condition their subscription decision (for the issue of all Warrants or a minimum amount determined by them, and subject to the minimum amount established by the Board of Directors informed above) must do so at the time of subscription.

 

In the absence of a subscriber's indication, the subscriber's interest in receiving the totality of the Warrants subscribed to by him shall be presumed.

 

The Company will not open an additional period for the revision of the subscription decision in the case of partial subscription of the Warrants.

 

7.         Treatment of Remaining Warrants

Upon exercise of their Preemptive Rights, those that wish to subscribe to remaining Warrants shall express their intention to do so. In a period of up to five business days as of the end of the Term for Exercise of the Preemptive Right, the Company will disclose a notice to shareholders, in which the apportionment of remaining Warrants will be informed.

If there are any remaining Warrants, the Company will apportion the remaining Warrants among those subscribers who have requested a reserve of remaining Warrants. This apportionment will observe the proportion of Warrants subscribed to by each interested party considering the total Warrants subscribed to at that moment.
