São Paulo, July 4, 2016 – GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. “GOL” or “Company” (BM&FBOVESPA: GOLL4 e NYSE: GOL), (S&P: CC, Fitch: C e Moody’s: Caa3), the largest low-cost and best-fare airline in Latin America, announced today that its previously announced private offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all of its outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Old Notes”) expired on July 1, 2016. The outcome of the Exchange Offers will reduce GOL’s total debt by U.S.$101.2 million (R$326.9 million), with a cash use of U.S.$13.9 million, and provide GOL with annual cash interest expense savings of U.S.$9.3 million.

Together with the renegotiation of the aircraft leases, amendments to the terms of the Brazilian debentures and other important liquidity measures, the Exchange Offers provide improvements to GOL’s capital structure and help ensure that the Company emerges from the current Brazilian political and economic crises in the best competitive position. These improvements are particularly important in helping GOL continue to take the necessary measures to reduce capacity and costs until the Brazilian economy and airline industry recover.

During the Exchange Offers GOL contacted over 150 holders of the Old Notes. GOL thanks those holders that engaged with the Company for their participation.

As of the Expiration Time, Eligible Holders had validly tendered U.S.$174,745,000 (R$564,391,401 as of today) in total aggregate principal amount of Old Notes, divided as follows: (i) U.S.$27,036,000 of 2017 Notes, (ii) U.S.$41,039,000 of 2020 Notes, (iii) U.S.$46,270,000 of 2022 Notes, (iv) U.S.$14,301,000 of 2023 Notes, and (v) U.S.$46,099,000 of Perpetual Notes. GOL will publish the final results of the Exchange Offers at settlement.

GOL expects to issue U.S.$73.5 million in total aggregate principal amount of New Notes, divided as follows: (i) U.S.$14.1 million of New 2018 Notes, (ii) U.S.$41.3 million of New 2021 Notes and (iii) U.S.$18.1 million of New 2028 Notes. GOL expects settlement of the Exchange Offers will be July 7, 2016 and in no event later than July 11, 2016. GOL will pay, upon settlement of the Exchange Offers, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes exchanged for New Notes.

Payment of interest and principal on the New Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offers will be secured by collateral that has been valued at US$222.7 million by an independent appraisal firm, representing a principal coverage ratio of over 3 to 1. The New Notes will be effectively senior to the Old Notes, to the extent of the value of the collateral provided to the holders of the New Notes.

GOL has in recent years faced a challenging economic scenario which prompted the Company to embark in the past year on a series of initiatives to comprehensively address its liquidity and capital structure concerns. The initiatives in the second half of 2015 and first months of 2016 include: (1) an equity infusion; (2) financing support from Delta Air Lines; (3) fleet reduction; (4) operating cost reductions; (5) advanced ticket sales to Smiles; (6) route network changes; (7) supplier negotiations; (8) leasing contract negotiations; and (9) capital structure improvements.

The concluding phase of our initiatives has included the renegotiation of a substantial portion of our debt and lease obligations, specifically the consummation of the Exchange Offers, renegotiation of the leases and amendments to the terms of the Brazilian debentures. With these important steps taken, GOL will be able to focus on operational measures to help ride out the effects of a struggling Brazilian economy and airline industry.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Neither GOL, its officers, our board of directors, the Exchange Agent nor the Information Agent is making any recommendation as to whether noteholders should tender Old Notes for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offers. Further, none of the aforementioned parties have authorized anyone to make any such recommendation.
