Highlights of the Transaction
 
LAN Airlines S.A. (LAN) and TAM S.A. (TAM) announced that they have entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines their intentions to combine their holdings under a single parent entity.
 
The combination of LAN and TAM would create a new Latin American airline group that would offer seamless passenger and cargo service across the continent and around the world. 
 
The new group, to be known as LATAM Airlines Group, would include LAN Airlines and its affiliates in Peru, Argentina and Ecuador; Lan Cargo and its affiliates; TAM S.A.; TAM Mercosur and all other holdings of LAN and TAM. 
 
LAN and TAM would continue to operate under their existing operating certificates and brands. Each airline within the group would maintain its current headquarters in Santiago and Sao Paulo. 
 
Growth enabled by the transaction would reach new destinations, create more opportunities for employees of both companies and more value creation for shareholders and would foster economic development and job growth in the home countries of the group airlines and the countries they serve.
 
The group would be among the leading airline groups in the world in terms of size, profitability and market reach.
 
The transaction is subject to both parties entering into a binding definitive agreement and satisfaction of conditions, including corporate and shareholder approvals and actions and regulatory approvals.

To Our Investors
 
Welcome to the investor section of the LAN and TAM transaction website. 
 
The combination of LAN and TAM would create a new Latin American airline group that would offer seamless passenger and cargo service across the continent and around the world. 
 
The group would be among the leading airline groups in the world in terms of size, profitability and market reach.
 
We believe that growth enabled by the transaction would reach new destinations, create more opportunities for employees of both companies and more value creation for shareholders.
 
In 2009, these carriers had combined revenue of US $8.5 billion, carried more than 45 million passengers and carried combined cargo of 832,000 tons. 
 
The combination is expected to generate annual synergies of approximately US $400 million.  These synergies are expected to come broadly in equal proportion from alignment of the passenger networks, growth in the cargo network (both internationally and in Brazil), and reduced cost.  Management expects that it would be able to implement approximately one third of the synergies within the first year following the close of the transaction and all synergies by the end of the third year.

To Our Customers
 
Welcome to the customer section of the LAN and TAM transaction website. 
 
The combination of LAN and TAM would create a new Latin American airline group that would offer seamless passenger and cargo service across the continent and around the world.
 
Together, we would be better able to serve customers. Our complementary networks are a natural fit and we look forward to working together in this new capacity. 
 
LAN and TAM would continue to operate under their existing operating certificates and brands. Each airline within the group would maintain its current headquarters in Santiago and Sao Paulo. 
 
The combined company would provide passenger services to more than 115 destinations in 23 countries while providing cargo services throughout Latin America and across much of the globe.  The airlines of the group would operate a fleet of more than 220 aircraft, and have more than 40,000 employees.

 
 

 
 
Passengers would benefit from an increase in flights, destinations, and connections as a result of this combination. Frequent flyer program members would be able to earn and redeem miles on more flights, and be able to earn miles through more partners than ever before.
 
Cargo customers would have access to the most comprehensive cargo network in Latin America - with more capacity, frequency, and destinations than any other carrier. The combined carriers would work quickly to ensure that customers can book, ship and track cargo seamlessly across the expanded network.
 
All existing reservations and tickets are unaffected by the announcement.
