SANTIAGO, Chile, June 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — LATAM Airlines Group S.A., (“LATAM Airlines Group” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LFL / IPSA: LAN / Bovespa: LATM33), TAM Capital 2 Inc. (the “Issuer”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Offeror” and the “Dealer Manager”) today announced the results of the early tenders (the “Early Tender Offer Results”) under the previously announced offer by the Offeror to purchase for cash (the “Tender Offer”) and consent solicitation by the Issuer (the “Consent Solicitation”) for the Issuer’s 9.50% Senior Guaranteed Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”).

As of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 4, 2015 (the “Early Tender Date” or the “Withdrawal Deadline”, as applicable), holders of approximately $195,938,000 in principal amount, or 65.31%, of the outstanding Notes, not including those owned by the Issuer or any of its affiliates, had validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Notes to the Offeror in the Tender Offer and had validly delivered (and not validly revoked) consents in the Consent Solicitation. As a result, the Issuer will execute a supplemental indenture giving effect to the Majority Consent Amendments (as defined in the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement dated May 21, 2015 (the “Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement”)). In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation, withdrawal rights with respect to the Notes have expired. Accordingly, Notes tendered in the past or future may not be withdrawn.

The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement and the related letter of transmittal and consent (the “Letter of Transmittal”). In particular, the Tender Offer is subject to the Financing Condition and the Participation Condition (each as defined in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement).

Holders that validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Date, and whose Notes were accepted, will receive total consideration of $1,053.00 per $1,000 principal amount of purchased Notes, which includes an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including the early settlement date, which is expected to be on June 8, 2015 (the “Early Settlement Date”).

Holders that validly tender after the Early Tender Date, but prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer, and whose Notes are accepted, will receive the tender offer consideration of $1,023.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the final settlement date, which is expected to be within four business days following June 18, 2015. Holders of the Notes that tender after the Early Tender Date will not receive an early tender premium.

The Issuer currently intends to issue a notice of redemption pursuant to the redemption provision of the Indenture (as defined in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement) to redeem any Notes that remain outstanding following the Early Settlement Date at a cash redemption price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes equal to $1,047.50, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. However, the Issuer is under no obligation to do so, and may elect not to do so on that date, or at all. This Statement does not constitute a notice of redemption under the redemption provision of the Indenture.
