São Paulo, June 20, 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), announced today that it has extended and amended its previously announced private offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offers") any and all of its outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes (the "Old Notes"). 

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 17, 2016, Eligible Holders (as defined below) had validly tendered U.S.$135,486,000 (R$465,692,479.20) in total aggregate principal amount of Old Notes, divided as follows: (i) U.S.$24,471,000 of 2017 Notes, (ii) U.S.$29,750,000 of 2020 Notes, (iii) U.S.$30,150,000 of 2022 Notes, (iv) U.S.$11,956,000 of 2023 Notes and (v) U.S.$39,159,000 of Perpetual Notes.

Together with the significant efforts from all of the Company’s commercial partners and creditors, the voluntary Exchange Offers are intended to ensure that GOL emerges from the current political and economic crisis in Brazil in the best competitive position. Since the announcement of its Exchange Offers on May 3, 2016, GOL and PJT Partners, GOL’s financial advisor, have engaged in discussions with a significant number of its noteholders.  Based on the result of these discussions and the Company’s desire to reflect the views of its noteholders, GOL is amending the terms of its voluntary Exchange Offers and removing the minimum participation condition.

The new terms represent an increase in consideration from the initial offer of up to 84% for holders of Old 2020, 2022 and 2023 Notes, and up to 79% for the Perpetual Notes. These terms offer substantial premiums over both the current market value as well as the market value of the Old Notes on May 3, when GOL launched the Exchange Offers. 

To holders of Old 2017 Notes, GOL will pay an exchange consideration of up to 72.5% of par value with 21% of the par value paid in cash and the balance in the form of New 2018 Notes. To holders of Old 2020 Notes, Old 2022 Notes and Old 2023 Notes, GOL will pay an exchange consideration of up to 55% of par value with 7% of the par value paid in cash and the balance in New 2021 Notes. To holders of Old Perpetual Notes, GOL will pay an exchange consideration of up to 45% of par value in the form of New 2028 Notes.

In view of the reduction in principal amount being asked of exchanging holders, GOL has increased the value of the New Notes by also:

·         Raising the interest rate of the New Notes from 8.5% to 9.5% (8.5% payable in cash and 1.0% in additional New Notes)

·         Giving the holders of New 2021 Notes and New 2028 Notes the opportunity to benefit from improvement in the company’s performance, by providing for a one-time payment of an additional 13.5% of the face value of the New 2021 and New 2028 Notes if on or after December 31, 2017, GOL’s EBIT exceeds R$800 million for the preceding four fiscal quarters (the “Improvement Premium” or “IP”)

·         Providing that, if holders of more than 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes participate in the Exchange Offer, then exchanging holders will receive additional consideration in New Notes equal to 2.5% of the par value of the 2017 Notes, and equal to 5% of the par value of the Old 2020, 2022, 2023 and Perpetual Notes (the “Participation Premium”, or “PP”) 

·         Providing that, in the event of a change in the Company’s voting control before 2018, holders of the New 2021 Notes will receive a premium of 50% of the par value of the then outstanding New 2021 Notes, comprised of 10% in cash and 40% in New 2021 Notes, and holders of the New 2028 Notes will receive a premium of 50% of the par value of the New 2028 Notes, comprised of 10% in cash and 40% in New 2028 Notes

·         Shortening to July 2021 the maturity of the New Notes to be exchanged for Old 2020, 2022 and 2023 Notes

As a result, in exchange for each US$1,000 principal amount of the Old Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or before the Expiration Time and accepted for exchange, Eligible Holders will receive up to the following exchange consideration:

·         2017 Notes: US$725, consisting of US$210 in cash and US$515 in principal amount of the New 2018 Notes, including the PP of US$25 in New 2018 Notes, compared to the initial offer of US$650 (US$195 in cash and US$455 in notes)

·         2020 Notes: US$551, consisting of US$70 in cash and US$481 in principal amount of the New 2021 Notes, including the IP of US$51 in New 2021 Notes and the PP of US$50 in New 2021 Notes, compared to the initial offer of US$300 (US$60 in cash and US$240 in notes)

·         2022 Notes: US$551, consisting of US$70 in cash and US$481 in principal amount of the New 2021 Notes, including the IP of US$51 in New 2021 Notes and the PP of US$50 in New 2021 Notes, compared to the initial offer of US$300 (US$60 in cash and US$240 in notes)

·         2023 Notes: US$551, consisting of US$70 in cash and US$481 in principal amount of the New 2021 Notes, including the IP of US$51 in New 2021 Notes and the PP of US$50 in New 2021 Notes, compared to the initial offer of US$300 (US$60 in cash and US$240 in notes)

·         Perpetual Notes: US$447 in principal amount of the New 2028 Notes, including the IP of US$47 in New 2028 Notes and the PP of US$50 in New 2028 Notes, compared to the initial offer of US$250 in notes.

The New Notes will be guaranteed by the Company and VRG Linhas Aéreas S.A. (“VRG”) and will be secured by a first priority security interest in all spare parts owned now or in the future by VRG and, as a result, structurally senior to all of GOL’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness, including the Old Notes, and senior to any future subordinated indebtedness that GOL may incur.  Old Notes will not get the benefit of the collateral securing the New Notes, and holders of Old Notes who do not participate in the Exchange Offers will be effectively subordinated to the New Notes, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the New Notes.

To allow its noteholders additional time to evaluate its improved and amended offers, the Company is extending the deadline of its Exchange Offers to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 1, 2016 (the “Expiration Time”).  

GOL is not extending the period for the Early Participation Premium. However, holders who validly tendered (and do not hereafter validly withdraw) Old Notes at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on May 27, 2016 (the “Early Participation Time”) that are accepted for exchange will receive, in addition to the exchange consideration above, the following early participation premium for each US$1,000 principal amount of the Old Notes:

·         2017 Notes: US$15 in cash and US$35 in principal amount of the New 2018 Notes

·         2020 Notes: US$10 in cash and US$40 in principal amount of the New 2021 Notes

·         2022 Notes: US$10 in cash and US$40 in principal amount of the New 2021 Notes

·         2023 Notes: US$10 in cash and US$40 in principal amount of the New 2021 Notes

·         Perpetual Notes: US$50 in principal amount of the New 2028 Notes.

GOL will pay, upon settlement of the Exchange Offers, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes exchanged for New Notes.

Tendered Old Notes may not be withdrawn subsequent to the Withdrawal Deadline, subject to limited exceptions. If, after the Withdrawal Deadline, at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on July 1, 2016, the Issuer (i) reduces the principal amount of Old Notes subject to the Exchange Offers, (ii) reduces the exchange consideration or (iii) is otherwise required by law to permit withdrawals, then previously tendered Old Notes may be validly withdrawn within a reasonable period under the circumstances after the date that notice of such reduction or permitted withdrawal is first published or given or sent to holders of the Old Notes by the Issuer. The Issuer may extend the Expiration Time without extending the Withdrawal Deadline, unless otherwise required by law.

In the event of a termination of an Exchange Offer, no exchange consideration will be paid, and the Old Notes tendered pursuant to that Exchange Offer will be promptly returned to the tendering holders.

The obligation of the Company to consummate the Exchange Offers is conditioned upon certain events identified in an exchange offer memorandum available to Eligible Holders. The obligation of the Company to consummate the Exchange Offers is not conditioned upon a minimum in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Old Notes being exchanged. None of the Exchange Offers is conditioned upon any of the other Exchange Offers. In addition, the Company has the right to amend, terminate or withdraw, in its sole discretion, any of the Exchange Offers at any time and for any reason, including failure to satisfy any condition to the Exchange Offers.  

GOL will pay a soliciting dealer fee of US$2.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for exchange to retail brokers that are appropriately designated by their clients to receive this fee. The soliciting dealer fee will only be paid to each designated retail broker for each tendering eligible holder that submits Old Notes with an aggregate principal amount of US$500,000 or less (an increase to prior terms).

In order to be eligible to receive the Soliciting Dealer Fee, a properly completed Soliciting Dealer Form must be received by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Exchange and Information Agent, prior to the Expiration Time. GOL will, in its sole discretion, determine whether a soliciting dealer has satisfied the criteria for receiving a Soliciting Dealer Fee (including, without limitation, the submission of the Soliciting Dealer Form and appropriate documentation without defects or irregularities and in respect of bona fide tenders).
