GOL Announces Updated Five-Year Financial Plan

São Paulo, January 14, 2025 – GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (B3: GOLL4) (“Company” or “GOL”), a leading domestic airline in Brazil, today disclosed a revised 5-Year Financial Plan (the "Revised 5-Year Plan" or the "5-Year Plan") that is expected to serve as the foundation for the Company's standalone legal plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 (the "Plan of Reorganization").

“We are pleased to be taking another step forward in our financial restructuring plan. Since commencing this process last year, we have secured lessor concessions, addressed maintenance and past-due liabilities, launched a profit improvement plan, and reached agreements with key stakeholders which, when implemented through the Plan of Reorganization, will deleverage GOL’s balance sheet.” said Celso Ferrer, GOL´s Chief Executive Officer.

 

Revised 5-Year Plan

The updated GOL 5-Year Plan, which uses a foreign exchange rate of R$ 6.04 to reflect the current macro environment, includes details on the Company's continuing efforts to improve operational and financial performance. The 5-Year Plan demonstrates GOL's commitment towards expanding its network, both domestically and internationally and projects the growth of the Company's fleet to 167 aircraft by 2029 while investing in its existing fleet in the near term.

The 5-Year Plan assumes (i) the approval of the Plan of Reorganization as filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on December 9, 2024; (ii) the conversion of a significant portion of GOL’s financial debt into equity in accordance with the terms previously disclosed by GOL (“Conversion”); and (iii) the successful completion of a planned US$ 330 million exit equity capital raise, combined with a US$1.54 billion new 5-year exit debt financing raise, with the aim of repaying the existing debtor-in-possession financing and to add incremental liquidity to GOL’s balance sheet. Net leverage is expected to see substantial improvement as a result of the Company rebuilding its lines of flying and EBITDA production to normal levels by 2026, reaching 2.7x by year-end 2027 and 1.9x by year- end 2029.

The Conversion described above is expected to result in a significant dilution of GOL’s existing shares (subject to the shareholders' preemptive rights as provided by Brazilian law).

As part of GOL's ongoing financial restructuring process, the Company has provided certain key stakeholders with financial reports and updates that may constitute material non-public information. As a result, GOL is issuing this press release while simultaneously publishing materials used to support its discussions with prospective participants in its ongoing capital raise on its investor relations website: https://ri.voegol.com.br/en/.

The presentation and this press release contain “forward-looking statements,” including the GOL 5-Year Plan. Forward-looking statements concern future circumstances and results and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These forward-looking statements are based upon current beliefs, expectations and assumptions and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and contingencies that can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Such statements, estimates and projections reflect various assumptions by the management of GOL concerning anticipated results, which assumptions may or may not prove to be correct. GOL does not have any obligation to update any such information. Investors are cautioned not to make investment decisions based on such forward-looking statements, as actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied therein.

The presentation and this press release do not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to purchase, otherwise acquire, issue, subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of any of GOL’s securities, nor any solicitation of any offer to purchase, otherwise acquire, issue, subscribe for, sell, or otherwise dispose of any such securities.

Plan of Reorganization

On December 9, 2024, the Company filed its initial proposed Plan of Reorganization and related disclosure statement with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The Company will be seeking Court approval of the disclosure statement and the commencement of voting on the Plan at a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court scheduled for February 13, 2025.

If, and when, the disclosure statement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, GOL will commence a process to solicit votes on the Plan, through Kroll as voting agent, to obtain sufficient votes for confirmation of the Plan. Once approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the procedures for voting on the Plan and relevant dates and information will be made available on Kroll's website and disclosed to the market in accordance with applicable legislation.

In connection with its restructuring efforts, GOL is working with Milbank LLP as its U.S. restructuring counsel, Seabury Securities LLC as financial advisor and investment banker, and AlixPartners, LLP as financial advisor. In addition, Lefosse Advogados is serving as the Company's Brazilian counsel.
