(1)
American Depositary Shares (“LAN ADSs”) representing the shares of common stock, without par value (“LAN common shares”), of LAN Airlines S.A. (“LAN”) registered hereby are being registered pursuant to a separate registration statement on Form F-6. Pursuant to the exchange offer to be made by Holdco II S.A. (“Holdco II”) and the mergers described herein, (i) LAN ADSs representing such LAN common shares will be offered and sold pursuant to this registration statement (the “US registered offering”) to holders of (x) American Depositary Shares (“TAM ADSs”) representing the non-voting preferred shares, without par value (“TAM preferred shares”), of TAM S.A. (“TAM”) and the voting common shares, without par value (“TAM common shares” and, collectively with the TAM preferred shares, the “TAM shares”), of TAM and (y) TAM preferred shares and TAM common shares, in each case to the extent that such TAM shares and TAM ADSs are tendered into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and are acquired pursuant to the exchange offer, and (ii) Brazilian Depositary Shares (“LAN BDSs”) representing LAN common shares will be offered and sold in offerings exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (a) to holders of TAM shares that are not located in the United States or US persons (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) pursuant to the exemption provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act (the “Regulation S offering”) and (b) to holders of TAM shares located in the United States or who are US persons that are “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act (collectively with the Regulation S offering, the “exempt offerings”), in each case to the extent such TAM shares are tendered into the exchange offer through the auction to be conducted on the BMF&BOVESPA, the Brazilian stock exchange, and are acquired pursuant to the exchange offer.
(2)
Represents the maximum number of LAN common shares expected to be offered and sold in the US registered offering and a portion of the LAN common shares that are to be offered and sold outside of the United States in the Regulation S offering that may be resold from time to time in the United States or to US persons. The offers and sales of LAN common shares in the exempt offerings are not being registered in the United States.
(3)
Computed solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. The registration fee has been computed pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(f)(1) under the Securities Act, based on the average of the high and low prices of the TAM ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange on November 10, 2011.
(4)
After Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered into the exchange offer and immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, Holdco II will merge with and into LAN. Pursuant to this merger, LAN will continue to exist as the surviving company of the merger, Holdco II will cease to exist and each share of common stock, without par value (“Holdco II shares”), of Holdco II (including those shares to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer) will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share. As a result, at the settlement of the exchange offer each holder of TAM ADSs or TAM shares acquired pursuant to the exchange offer will receive (i) 0.90 of a LAN ADS for each TAM ADS or TAM share it sold in the US registered offering and (ii) 0.90 of a LAN BDS for each TAM share it sold in the exempt offerings.
(5)
Equals the number of LAN common shares described in footnote (2) divided by 0.90, which is the exchange ratio for the exchange offer.

The Registrants hereby amend this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrants shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until this Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.
 
 
 

 
 
The information in this preliminary offer to exchange/prospectus is not complete and may be changed.  A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and these securities may not be sold until the registration statement becomes effective.  This preliminary offer to exchange/prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state or other jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

of
LAN AIRLINES S.A.
Represented by
American Depositary Shares or Brazilian Depositary Shares
 
LAN Airlines S.A., a Chilean company (which we refer to as “LAN”), TAM S.A., a Brazilian company (which we refer to as “TAM”), and their respective controlling shareholders have entered into an exchange offer agreement and implementation agreement (which we refer to collectively as the “transaction agreements”) to combine LAN and TAM to form the leading Latin American airline group with the largest fleet of aircraft of any airline in Latin America. When the proposed combination is completed, LAN will be the holding company for the combined companies and will change its name to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.” (which we refer to as “LATAM”). The parties will implement the proposed combination using the following three steps:
 
 
·
Holdco II S.A., a Chilean company formed in June 2011 and indirectly owned by the controlling shareholders of TAM and LAN (which we refer to as “Holdco II”), will make an exchange offer in the United States pursuant to this offer to exchange/prospectus and in Brazil and elsewhere outside of the United States pursuant to other offering documents published in Brazil and made available to all holders of TAM shares to acquire all of the issued and outstanding (i) voting common shares of TAM (which we refer to as “TAM common shares”), (ii) non-voting preferred shares of TAM (which we refer to as “TAM preferred shares” and, collectively with TAM common shares, as “TAM shares”) and (iii) American Depositary Shares representing TAM shares (each of which represents one TAM share and which we refer to as “TAM ADSs”), in each case other than any TAM shares owned by the controlling shareholders of TAM, in exchange for the same number of common shares of Holdco II (which we refer to as the “exchange offer”);
 
 
·
Immediately before Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered into the exchange offer, the controlling shareholders of TAM will contribute to TEP Chile S.A., a Chilean company formed in June 2011 that is wholly owned by the controlling shareholders of TAM (which we refer to as “TEP Chile”), all of their TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares in exchange for a number of shares of TEP Chile, which, when added to the shares of TEP Chile held by the controlling shareholders of TAM at that time, would equal 100% of the shares of TEP Chile. Thereafter, TEP Chile will contribute all of the TAM common shares contributed to it by the controlling shareholders of TAM to Holdco I S.A., a Chilean company formed in June 2011 (which we refer to as “Holdco I”), and all of the TAM preferred shares contributed to it by the controlling shareholders of TAM to Sister Holdco S.A., a Chilean company formed in June 2011 (which we refer to as “Sister Holdco”), and will receive 93.8% of the voting shares of Holdco I (TEP Chile’s percentage ownership of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I will be reduced after the mergers described below so that the product of such ownership percentage and Holdco I’s percentage ownership of the outstanding TAM common shares will be equal to 80%), and a number of shares of Sister Holdco (which we refer to as “Sister Holdco shares”) equal to the total number of TAM shares it contributed to Holdco I and Sister Holdco; and

 
- i -

 

 
·
After Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered into the exchange offer and immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, each of Holdco II and Sister Holdco will merge with and into LAN (which we refer to as the “Holdco II merger” and the “Sister Holdco merger,” respectively, and which we refer to collectively as the “mergers”), with LAN being the surviving company of both mergers. For more information on these transactions, see “The Transaction Agreements—Overview” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 159.
 
As a result of the Holdco II merger, each common share of Holdco II (including those shares to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer) will be converted into 0.90 of a common share of LAN (which we refer to as “LAN common shares”). Because the Holdco II merger will occur immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs acquired in the exchange offer will receive 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share or TAM ADS so acquired. Holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs who tender into the exchange offer through JPMorganChase Bank, N.A., as the US exchange agent will receive such LAN common shares in the form of American Depositary Shares representing LAN common shares (each of which represents one LAN common share and which we refer to as “LAN ADSs”), which will be evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (which we refer to as “LAN ADRs”). Holders of TAM shares who tender into the exchange offer by tendering their TAM shares in the auction (which we refer to as the “Auction”) to be held on the BM&FBOVESPA stock exchange in Brazil (which we refer to as “Bovespa”) will receive such LAN common shares in the form of Brazilian Depositary Shares representing LAN common shares (each of which represents one LAN common share and which we refer to as “LAN BDSs”), which will be evidenced by Brazilian Depositary Receipts (which we refer to as “LAN BDRs”). We refer to the LAN common shares, LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs collectively as the “LAN shares”.
 
As a result of the Sister Holdco merger, each Sister Holdco share will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share. Because all of the Sister Holdco shares will be owned by the controlling shareholders of TAM indirectly through TEP Chile immediately prior to the Sister Holdco merger, they will receive LAN common shares for the TAM shares TEP Chile contributes to Holdco I and Sister Holdco at the same exchange ratio as the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs receive in the exchange offer and the mergers.
 
No fractional LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs will be issued to you in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers. Instead of any such fractional shares that you would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers, you will receive an amount in cash in US dollars based on the closing price of LAN common shares on the Santiago Stock Exchange (which we refer to as the “SSE”) on the last trading day immediately preceding the effective time of the mergers (as reported on the SSE’s website, www.bolsadesantiago.com or, if unavailable, as reported by another authoritative source) and the “dólar observado” or “observed” exchange rate published on such last trading day immediately preceding the effective time of the mergers by Banco Central de Chile (which we refer to as the “Central Bank of Chile”). This exchange rate (which we refer to as the “Chilean observed exchange rate”) is the average exchange rate of the previous business day’s transactions in the Formal Exchange Market (banks and other entities authorized by the Central Bank of Chile) as published in the Diario Oficial (Official Gazette) by the Central Bank of Chile pursuant to number 6 of Chapter I of its Compendium of Foreign Exchange Rules.
 
The Chilean observed exchange rate on September 30, 2011 was CLP$ 515.14 = US$ 1.00.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TAM HAS DETERMINED THAT THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND MERGERS ARE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF TAM AND THE HOLDERS OF TAM SHARES AND TAM ADSs AND HAS RECOMMENDED THAT SUCH HOLDERS (OTHER THAN THE CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS OF TAM) TENDER THEIR TAM SHARES AND TAM ADSs INTO THE EXCHANGE OFFER.

This offer to exchange/prospectus is being sent to all holders of TAM shares that are residents of, or located in, the United States and to all holders of TAM ADSs, wherever located. Separate offering documents relating to the exchange offer are being published in Brazil and made available to all holders of TAM shares.
 
The exchange offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this offer to exchange/prospectus under “The Exchange Offer” beginning on page 111 and the related letter of transmittal.

·
The holders of more than 66 2/3% of the qualifying minority shares shall have:

o
expressly agreed with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (“CVM”) and not withdrawn such agreement (this is the minimum tender required to cause the delisting of the TAM shares from Bovespa after completion of the exchange offer under the rules of Bovespa and applicable Brazilian law).
 
For purposes of this condition, “qualifying minority shares” means all outstanding TAM shares not represented by TAM ADSs and all outstanding TAM ADSs that:

·

THE EXCHANGE OFFER FOR TENDERS OF TAM SHARES INTO THE EXCHANGE OFFER IN THE AUCTION ON BOVESPA WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 (NOON), EASTERN TIME (3:00 P.M., SÃO PAULO TIME) ON __ , 2011, (AS SUCH DATE MAY BE EXTENDED, THE “EXPIRATION DATE”) UNLESS THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS EXTENDED.

The mergers have already been approved by the shareholders of LAN, Holdco II and Sister Holdco and no other shareholder or board approvals are required by any of those entities to authorize or complete the mergers, other than the formality of the board of directors of LAN approving the delivery of LAN common shares issuable in the mergers. Accordingly, LAN and Holdco II are not requesting, and you should not send to LAN or Holdco II, a proxy or other approval from you with respect to the mergers other than the acknowledgment and ratification of the approval of the Holdco II merger contained in the letter of transmittal you will use to tender your TAM shares or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer or to agree with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM.
 
LAN common shares are listed on the SSE under the symbol “LAN” and the LAN ADSs are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “LFL.” The TAM preferred shares are listed on Bovespa under the symbol “TAMM4,” the TAM common shares are listed on Bovespa under the symbol “TAMM3” and the TAM ADSs are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TAM.” The depositary for LAN’s ADR program has submitted an application to list the LAN ADSs that will be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers on the NYSE.

The summary term sheet in question and answer format set forth below highlights selected information about the exchange offer and the mergers that is included elsewhere in this offer to exchange/prospectus. It does not, however, contain all of the information included in, or incorporated by reference into, this offer to exchange/prospectus and the related letter of transmittal and you should read and consider all such information carefully before deciding whether or not to tender your TAM shares (as defined below) or TAM ADSs (as defined below) into the exchange offer.
 
Q.
What are LAN and TAM proposing to do?

A.
LAN Airlines S.A., a Chilean company (which we refer to as “LAN”), and TAM S.A., a Brazilian company (which we refer to as “TAM”), are proposing to combine to form the leading Latin American airline group with the largest fleet of aircraft of any airline in Latin America. When the proposed combination is completed, LAN will be the holding company of the combined companies and will change its name to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.” (which we refer to as “LATAM”). The proposed combination will be implemented pursuant to the terms and conditions of the implementation agreement and the exchange offer agreement entered into on January 18, 2011 (which we refer to collectively as the “transaction agreements”) by LAN, TAM, the controlling shareholders of LAN under Chilean law (Costa Verde Aeronáutica S.A. and Inversiones Mineras del Cantábrico S.A., which we refer to individually as Costa Verde Aeronáutica and Mineras del Cantábrico,” respectively and collectively as the “LAN controlling shareholders”), the controlling shareholders of TAM under Brazilian law (Noemy Almeida Oliveira Amaro, Maria Cláudia Oliveira Amaro, Maurício Rolim Amaro and João Francisco Amaro, whom we refer to collectively as the “TAM controlling shareholders”), and TAM Empreendimentos e Participações S.A, a company through which the TAM controlling shareholders held their TAM shares (as defined below) at that time (which we refer to as “TEP”).

Q.
How will LAN and TAM combine?

A.
The parties will implement the combination using the following three steps:

 
·
Holdco II, a Chilean company formed in June 2011 and indirectly owned by the TAM controlling shareholders and LAN (which we refer to as “Holdco II”), will make an exchange offer in the United States pursuant to this offer to exchange/prospectus and in Brazil and elsewhere outside the United States pursuant to offering documents to be published in Brazil and made available to holders of TAM shares to acquire all of the issued and outstanding (i) voting common shares, without par value, of TAM (which we refer to as “TAM common shares”), (ii) non-voting preferred shares, without par value, of TAM (which we refer to as “TAM preferred shares” and, collectively with the TAM common shares, the “TAM shares”) and (iii) American Depositary Shares representing TAM shares (each of which represents one TAM share and which we refer to as “TAM ADSs”), in each case other than any TAM shares owned by the TAM controlling shareholders, in exchange for the same number of common shares, without par value, of Holdco II (which shares we refer to as “Holdco II shares” and which exchange offer we refer to as the “exchange offer”);

 
·
Immediately before Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered into the exchange offer, the TAM controlling shareholders will contribute to TEP Chile S.A., a Chilean company formed in June 2011 that is wholly owned by the TAM controlling shareholders (which we refer to as “TEP Chile”), all of their TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares in exchange for a number of shares of TEP Chile, which, when added to the shares of TEP Chile held by the TAM controlling shareholders at that time, would equal 100% of the shares of TEP Chile. Thereafter, TEP Chile will contribute all of the TAM common shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders to Holdco I S.A., a Chilean company formed in June 2011 (which we refer to as “Holdco I”), and all of the TAM preferred shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders to Sister Holdco S.A., a Chilean company formed in June 2011 (which we refer to as “Sister Holdco”), and will receive 93.8% of the voting shares of Holdco I (TEP Chile’s percentage ownership of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I will be reduced after the mergers described below so that the product of such ownership percentage and Holdco I’s percentage ownership of the outstanding TAM common shares will be equal to 80%), and a number of shares, without par value, of Sister Holdco (which we refer to as “Sister Holdco shares”) equal to the total number of TAM shares it contributed to Holdco I and Sister Holdco; and

·
After Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered into the exchange offer and immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, each of Holdco II and Sister Holdco will merge with and into LAN (which we refer to as the “Holdco II merger” and the “Sister Holdco merger,” respectively, and which we refer to collectively as the “mergers”), with LAN being the surviving company of both mergers. For a further discussion of these transactions, see “The Transaction Agreements—Overview” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 159.

As a result of the Holdco II merger, each Holdco II share (including those shares to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer) will be converted into 0.90 of a common share, without par value, of LAN (which we refer to as “LAN common shares”). Because the Holdco II merger will occur immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs acquired in the exchange offer will receive 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share or TAM ADS so acquired. Holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs who tender into the exchange offer through JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the US exchange agent (which we refer to as the “US exchange agent”) will receive such LAN common shares in the form of American Depositary Shares representing LAN common shares (each of which represents one LAN common share and which we refer to as “LAN ADSs”), which will be evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (which we refer to as “LAN ADRs”). Holders of TAM shares who tender into the exchange offer by tendering their TAM shares in the auction (which we refer to as the “Auction”) to be held on the BM&FBOVESPA stock exchange in Brazil (which we refer to as “Bovespa”) will receive such LAN common shares in the form of Brazilian Depositary Shares representing LAN common shares (each of which represents one LAN common share and which we refer to as “LAN BDSs”), which will be evidenced by Brazilian Depositary Receipts (which we refer to as “LAN BDRs”). We refer to the LAN common shares, LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs collectively in this offer to exchange/prospectus as the “LAN shares.”

As a result of the Sister Holdco merger, each Sister Holdco share will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share. Because all of the Sister Holdco shares will be owned by the TAM controlling shareholders indirectly through TEP Chile immediately prior to the Sister Holdco merger, they will receive LAN common shares for the TAM shares TEP Chile contributes to Holdco I and Sister Holdco at the same exchange ratio as the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs receive in the exchange offer and the mergers.

Q.
Does the board of directors of TAM support the combination?

A.
Yes. The board of directors of TAM has determined that the exchange offer and the mergers are in the best interests of TAM and the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs and has recommended that such holders (other than the TAM controlling shareholders) tender their TAM shares and TAM ADSs into the exchange offer.

Q.
Does the board of directors of LAN support the combination?

A.
Yes. The board of directors of LAN recommended that the shareholders of LAN approve the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements, which the shareholders of LAN have already done.

Q.
Can I tender my TAM shares and/or my TAM ADSs into the exchange offer?

A.
Yes. You can tender your TAM common shares, your TAM preferred shares and/or your TAM ADSs into the exchange offer and the same consideration per share will be paid for each class and type of shares. Holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs who tender their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent will receive such consideration in the form of LAN ADSs, while holders of TAM shares who tender their TAM shares into the exchange offer through the Auction will receive such consideration in the form of LAN BDSs.

Q.
If Holdco II acquires my TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs pursuant to the exchange offer, is it possible that the mergers will not be completed?

A.
No. The mergers have already been approved by the shareholders of LAN, Holdco II and Sister Holdco and no other shareholder or board approvals are required by any of those entities to authorize or complete the mergers other than the formality of the board of directors of LAN approving the delivery of LAN common shares issuable in the mergers. The mergers will become effective after Holdco II becomes contractually obligated to acquire TAM shares and TAM ADSs pursuant to the exchange offer, which will occur at the expiration of the exchange offer if all the exchange offer conditions (as defined under “The Exchange OfferConditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 116) have been satisfied or waived and immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer.

Q.
If Holdco II acquires my TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs pursuant to the exchange offer, is it possible that I will receive Holdco II shares instead of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs?

A.
No. The mergers will become effective immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer and as a result of the Holdco II merger each Holdco II share you would otherwise receive pursuant to the exchange offer will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share. Holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs who tender their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN ADSs, while holders of TAM shares who tender their TAM shares into the exchange offer through the Auction on Bovespa will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDSs. As a result of the Holdco II merger, if your TAM shares or TAM ADSs are acquired in the exchange offer, you will receive LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs instead of Holdco II shares upon settlement of the exchange offer.

Q.
What will I receive if the exchange offer is completed?

A.
If the exchange offer is completed, you will receive 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share or TAM ADS you tender into, and do not withdraw from, the exchange offer. Holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs who tender their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN ADSs, while holders of TAM shares who tender their TAM shares into the exchange offer through the Auction on Bovespa will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDSs.

Q.
Will I receive fractional LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs?

A.
No fractional LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs will be issued to you in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers. Instead of any such fractional shares that you would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers, you will receive an amount in cash in US dollars based on the closing price of the LAN common shares on the Santiago Stock Exchange (which we refer to as the “SSE”) on the last trading day immediately preceding the time at which the mergers become effective (which we refer to as the “effective time”) (as reported on the SSE’s website, www.bolsadesantiago.com or, if unavailable, as reported by another authoritative source) and the “dólar observado” or “observed” exchange rate published on such last trading day immediately preceding the effective time of the mergers by Banco Central de Chile (which we refer to as the “Central Bank of Chile”). This exchange rate (which we refer to as the “Chilean observed exchange rate”) is the average exchange rate of the previous business day’s transactions in the Formal Exchange Market (banks and other entities authorized by the Central Bank of Chile) as published in the Diario Oficial (Official Gazette) by the Central Bank of Chile pursuant to number 6 of Chapter I of its Compendium of Foreign Exchange Rules.
 
The Chilean observed exchange rate on September 30, 2011 was CLP$515.14 = US$1.00.

Q.
Does TAM have ADR programs for both the TAM preferred shares and the TAM common shares?

A.
Yes. In addition to the ADR program for the TAM preferred shares (which we refer to as the “TAM preferred ADR program”) established in 2006, TAM has recently established an ADR program for the TAM common shares (which we refer to as the “TAM common ADR program”). Each TAM ADS issued under the TAM preferred ADR program (which we refer to as a “TAM preferred ADS”) represents one TAM preferred share and is evidenced by an American Depositary Receipt (which we refer to as a “TAM preferred ADR”), and each TAM ADS issued under the TAM common ADR program (which we refer to as a “TAM common ADS”) represents one TAM common share and is evidenced by an American Depositary Receipt (which we refer to as a “TAM common ADR”). We refer to the TAM preferred ADR program and TAM common ADR program collectively as the “TAM ADR programs,” the TAM preferred ADSs and the TAM common ADSs collectively as the “TAM ADSs” and the TAM preferred ADRs and TAM common ADRs collectively as the “TAM ADRs”.

Q.
If I hold TAM shares and would like to tender my TAM shares in the exchange offer, which method should I use to tender my TAM shares?

A.
If you hold TAM shares, there are three possible ways to tender them into the exchange offer:

 
·
You can tender your TAM shares through the US exchange agent, who will receive and hold tendered TAM shares on behalf of Holdco II and, if the exchange offer is completed, will exchange such TAM shares for LAN ADSs,

 
·
You can deposit your TAM shares into the applicable TAM ADR program, receive TAM ADSs representing your deposited TAM shares and tender those TAM ADSs through the US exchange agent, or

 
·
If (but only if) you are a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and which we refer to as a “QIB”), you can tender your TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa if you make the representations, warranties and agreements described below in this section.

In deciding which method you should use to tender your TAM shares into the exchange offer, you should consider the following:

 
·
If you tender your TAM shares through the US exchange agent:

 
o
You will have to convert your investment in your TAM shares in Brazil from an investment made in the financial and capital markets, regulated by Resolution No. 2,689/00 of the Conselho Monetário Nacional (which law we refer to as “Resolution No. 2,689/00” and which investment we refer to as a “2,689 investment”) to a direct investment outside of the financial and capital markets, regulated by Law 4,131/62 (which law we refer to as “Law 4,131/62” and which investment we refer to as a “4,131 investment”),

 
o
You will receive LAN ADSs and will not have to pay any deposit fees to the depositary for the LAN ADSs (which we refer to as the “LAN ADS depositary”),

 
o
You will not have to pay any fees to Bovespa or Central Depositária da BM&FBovespa (which we refer to as “CD”),

 
o
You will not have to pay any Imposto Sobre Operações Financeiras, a tax imposed on foreign exchange, securities/bonds, credit and insurance transactions under Brazilian law (which we refer to as “IOF”), and

o
You will not have to pay any deposit fees to the TAM depositary or the LAN ADS depositary,

 
o
You will not have to pay any fees to Bovespa or CD,

 
o
You will have to pay IOF in Brazil at the rate of 1.5% of the value of the TAM shares you deposit, and

 
o

·
If you are a QIB and tender your TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa:

o
If you want to withdraw the LAN common shares represented by the LAN BDSs you receive in connection with the exchange offer, you will have to pay a withdrawal fee to the LAN BDS depositary of between R$ 0.02 and R$ 0.05 per LAN common share (depending on how many LAN common shares you withdraw).

Q.
How do I accept the exchange offer?

A.
The steps you must take to tender your TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer will depend on whether you hold TAM shares or TAM ADSs and whether you hold such TAM shares or TAM ADSs directly or indirectly through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. If you hold TAM shares, you will need to choose among the different ways you may tender your TAM shares. For more information on how to tender your TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs in the exchange offer, see “The Exchange Offer—Procedure for Tendering” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 119. If all of the conditions to completion of the exchange offer are satisfied and your TAM shares or TAM ADSs are validly tendered into, and not withdrawn, from the exchange offer prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, your TAM shares and TAM ADS will be accepted by Holdco II for exchange in the exchange offer.

 
·
If you hold TAM ADSs and would like to tender them into the exchange offer, you must tender them to the US exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time (8:00 p.m., São Paulo time) (which we refer to as the “US Tender Deadline”), on the day immediately preceding the expiration date of the exchange offer (which is currently _______________, 2011 but which may be extended from time to time) and you must take the following actions:

 
o
If you hold your TAM ADSs directly in the form of TAM ADRs, you must complete and sign the letter of transmittal included with this offer to exchange/prospectus and return it together with your TAM ADRs and any required documentation to the US exchange agent at the appropriate address specified on the back cover page of this offer to exchange/prospectus.

 
o
If you hold your TAM ADSs in book-entry form, you must tender your TAM ADSs in book-entry form through the US exchange agent by using the automated tender system (which we refer to as the “ATOP system”) of The Depository Trust Company (which we refer to as “DTC”).

 
o
If you hold your TAM ADSs indirectly through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you should instruct your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to tender your TAM ADSs to the US exchange agent on your behalf.

 
·
If you or your nominee holds TAM ADSs and you want to tender the TAM shares represented by those TAM ADSs using one of the methods described below in this section, then you or your nominee must withdraw the TAM shares represented by those TAM ADSs by surrendering your TAM ADSs to the custodian of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the depositary for the TAM ADSs (which we refer to as the “TAM depositary”), and pay any applicable taxes or other governmental charges payable in connection with such withdrawal. Prior to surrendering your TAM ADSs to the TAM depositary for withdrawal and receiving the TAM shares represented by your TAM ADSs, you must register the TAM shares to be withdrawn at CD and you will need to obtain a foreign investor registration under Resolution No. 2,689/00 of the Conselho Monetário Nacional (which we refer to as “Resolution No. 2,689/00”) if you are a QIB and intend to tender such TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa or as a direct investment outside the financial and capital markets under Law 4,131/62 if you intend to tender such TAM shares into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent. In addition, if you are a QIB and want to tender your TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa, you must appoint a Brazilian representative for purposes of Resolution No. 2,689/00 and make arrangements for that representative to tender your TAM shares on your behalf. You will need to take these steps sufficiently in advance of the applicable Tender Deadline (as defined in this section below) so as to allow your Brazilian representative to effect such tender. There are potential disadvantages to withdrawing the TAM shares represented by your TAM ADSs and tendering those TAM shares in the exchange offer which are described below under “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering—Holders of TAM ADSs” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus. For more information about this registration process, see “The Exchange Offer—Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Registering Under Resolution No. 2,689/00 and Law 4,131/62” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 151.

A.
LAN expects to complete the exchange offer and the mergers in the first quarter of 2012.

Q.
What are the tax consequences if I participate in the exchange offer?

You should consult your own tax advisor on the tax consequences to you of tendering your TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs in the exchange offer.

Q.
If my TAM shares or TAM ADSs are acquired in the exchange offer, how will my rights as a TAM shareholder or as a holder of TAM ADSs change?

A.
If your TAM shares or TAM ADRs are acquired in the exchange offer, you will become a holder of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs, each of which will represent one LAN common share deposited with the applicable depositary. Your rights as a holder of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs will be determined by the applicable deposit agreement. The rights of a holder of the LAN common shares represented by your LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs will be governed by LAN’s by-laws, the Chilean corporation law (which we refer to as "Chilean Corporation Law") and the Chilean corporation regulations. For a summary of the rights of holders of LAN common shares compared to the rights of holders of TAM shares, see the “Comparison of Rights of Holders of LAN Securities and TAM Securities” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 201.

Q.
Can I tender less than all the TAM shares or TAM ADSs that I own into the exchange offer?

A.
You may elect to tender all or a portion of the TAM shares or TAM ADSs that you own into the exchange offer. However, if the exchange offer is completed and a sufficient number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs are acquired in the exchange offer so that the squeeze-out condition is satisfied, TAM intends to institute proceedings in accordance with Brazilian law to compulsorily redeem any TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were not acquired pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers. In this redemption, the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs not acquired pursuant to the exchange offer will have the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of LAN ADSs and/or LAN BDSs they would have received pursuant to the exchange offer in respect of their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs and (ii) the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the date the exchange offer is completed, duly adjusted by the Central Bank of Brazil’s overnight lending rate. For further discussion of the squeeze-out procedure, see “The Transaction Agreements—Effects of the Mergers—Statutory Squeeze-Out” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 179.

For your convenience, this offer to exchange/prospectus contains conversions of Chilean peso and Brazilian real amounts into US dollars at specified exchange rates.

Risk Factors (page 39)

Proposed Combination of LAN and TAM (page 156)
 
LAN and TAM are proposing to combine to form the leading Latin American airline group with the largest fleet of aircraft of any airline in Latin America. When the proposed combination is completed, LAN will be the holding company of the combined companies and will change its name to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.”
 
The combination will be implemented using the following three steps:
 
 
·
Holdco II will make the exchange offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding TAM shares and TAM ADSs (other than the TAM shares owned by the TAM controlling shareholders) in exchange for the same number of Holdco II shares;
 
 
·
Immediately before Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer, the TAM controlling shareholders will contribute all of their TAM shares to TEP Chile in exchange for a number of shares of TEP Chile, which, when added to the shares of TEP Chile held by the TAM controlling shareholders at that time, would equal 100% of the shares of TEP Chile and then TEP Chile will contribute (i) all of the TAM common shares it receives to Holdco I in exchange for 93.8% of the voting shares of Holdco I (TEP Chile’s percentage ownership of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I will be reduced after the mergers described below so that the product of such ownership percentage and Holdco I’s percentage ownership of the outstanding TAM common shares will be equal to 80%), and (ii) all of the TAM preferred shares it receives to Sister Holdco in exchange for a number of Sister Holdco shares equal to the total number of TAM shares it contributed to Holdco I and Sister Holdco; and
 
 
·
After Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer and immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, Holdco II and Sister Holdco will merge with and into LAN, with LAN being the surviving company of both mergers and each Holdco II share and each Sister Holdco share will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN share to be delivered in the form of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs.
 
We refer to these transactions collectively as the “combination transactions”. As a result of the combination transactions:
 
 
·
Each holder whose TAM shares or TAM ADSs are acquired in the exchange offer will receive 0.90 of a LAN share for each of their TAM shares or TAM ADSs, which will be delivered in the form of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs;
 
 
·
The TAM controlling shareholders will receive LAN common shares for the TAM shares TEP Chile contributes to Holdco I and Sister Holdco at the same exchange ratio as the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs receive in the exchange offer and the mergers;

 
-23-

 
 


 
 
·
Following completion of the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements,
 
 
o
the TAM controlling shareholders will indirectly own at least 80% of the voting shares of Holdco I;
 
 
o
Holdco I will own all of the TAM common shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) contributed to TEP Chile by the TAM controlling shareholders or acquired in the exchange offer;
 
 
o
LAN will own no more than 20% of the voting shares of Holdco I; and
 
 
o
LAN will own 100% of the outstanding non-voting shares of Holdco I, which will entitle LAN to substantially all of the economic interests in Holdco I, and all of the TAM preferred shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) acquired in the exchange offer and the mergers.

TAM Board of Director’s Recommendation (page 103)
 
The board of directors of TAM, at a meeting held on ____, determined that the exchange offer and the mergers are in the best interest of TAM and the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs. At that meeting, the board of directors of TAM also recommended that the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs (other than the TAM controlling shareholders) tender them into the exchange offer, but informed the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs that such decision is ultimately at their discretion.
 
This determination was based on (i) the convenience and opportunity of the exchange offer weighed against the interests of the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs and the liquidity of TAM shares and TAM ADSs, (ii) the impact of the exchange offer on the interests of TAM as a company and (iii) the announced strategic plans of LAN for the combined company. In making these determinations and recommendations, the board of directors of TAM considered a number of factors, including the potential risks and expected benefits to TAM and the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs that could result from the proposed combination. The factors that the board of directors of TAM considered in reaching these decisions and making its recommendation are described in TAM’s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, which has been filed with the SEC and mailed to you together with this offer to exchange/prospectus. See “TAM Board of Director’s Recommendation” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 103.
 
Opinion of TAM’s Financial Advisor (page 103)
 
At the August 13, 2010 meeting of the board of directors of TAM, Banco BTG Pactual S.A. (which we refer to as “BTG Pactual”) rendered its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing (which we refer to as the “BTG Pactual Opinion”), to the effect that, as of the date of the BTG Pactual Opinion, based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other conditions set forth in the BTG Pactual Opinion, the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio were fair, from a financial point of view, to TAM. The full text of the written BTG Pactual Opinion, dated as of August 13, 2010, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations, qualifications and conditions of the review undertaken by BTG Pactual in connection with the BTG Pactual Opinion, is attached as Annex B to this offer to exchange/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BTG Pactual was not asked to, and the BTG Pactual Opinion did not, address the fairness of the proposed combination, or any consideration received in connection therewith, to the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of TAM, nor did it address the fairness of the contemplated benefits of the proposed combination. BTG Pactual expressed no opinion as to the merits of the underlying decision by TAM to engage in the proposed combination or the relative merits of the proposed combination as compared to alternative business strategies, nor did it express any opinion as to how any TAM stockholders should vote on any matter. See “TAM Board of Directors RecommendationOpinion of TAM’s Financial Advisor” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 103.
 
Appraisal Report (page 109)
 
At a duly-called shareholder meeting (at which the requisite quorum of at least 20% of the free float shares was present) held on ___, 2011, holders of free float shares, by a vote of a majority of the votes cast at that meeting, had the option to select from among one of the three independent, specialized third-party appraisal firms recommended by the board of directors of TAM as the Appraiser (as defined below) to prepare the Appraisal Report (as defined below), or to select Bradesco BBI S.A. (which we refer to as “Bradesco”) as the Appraiser and to adopt as the Appraisal Report the appraisal report prepared by Bradesco valuing each of LAN and TAM as of ___________, 2011 in accordance with Instrução Normativa CVM 361/2002, as amended by Instructions CVM 436/2006 and 480/2009 (which we refer to as “CVM 361/2002”), which sets out mandatory procedures to be observed in public offerings of securities in Brazil, which was presented at that meeting. The appraisal firm selected by the holders of free float shares at this meeting is referred to in this offer to exchange prospectus as the “Appraiser” and the appraisal report prepared by the Appraiser in accordance with CVM 361/2002 is referred to in this offer to exchange/prospectus as the “Appraisal Report.” The holders of free float shares had the right under Brazilian law to request that TAM call a subsequent special meeting of holders of free float shares to vote upon whether or not to request a new appraisal report and to appoint a new appraiser, and in such event TAM would be required to take all action necessary to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold such a special meeting no later than 45 days after the request for such special meeting. The right of holders of the free float shares to request such a meeting has expired without the holders of free float shares having appointed a new appraiser or approving a new appraisal report.

 
-27-

 
 

 
The Appraisal Report is intended solely for the use of the management, the board of directors and the shareholders of TAM for the purpose of supporting their respective decisions to approve or participate in the exchange offer, as applicable. The Appraisal Report will not constitute the Appraiser’s recommendation or opinion to the shareholders of TAM as to whether the exchange offer is advisable, and should not be used as such. All shareholders of TAM should conduct their own analyses of the exchange offer and should rely on their own financial, tax and legal advisers when evaluating the exchange offer. See the “TAM Board of Directors RecommendationAppraisal Report” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 109.
 
Termination of the Transaction Agreements
 
The transaction agreements will terminate automatically if and when (i) the exchange offer expires in accordance with its terms or is revoked with the permission of CVM without the purchase of any TAM shares or TAM ADSs or (ii) if the product of 0.90 and the high end of the range of economic value of LAN per LAN common share as determined by the Appraiser at any time is less than the low end of the range of economic value of TAM per TAM share as determined by the Appraiser at such time (which we refer to as an “appraisal event”). In addition, LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders may terminate the transaction agreements by mutual written consent.
 
In addition, if the transaction agreements are terminated under certain circumstances, LAN or TAM may be required to pay to the other party a termination fee of $200 million and to reimburse expenses incurred by the other party in connection with the transaction agreements and the proposed combination. For more information on the parties’ termination rights and payment obligations in the event of termination, see “The Transaction Agreements—Termination” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 179 and “The Transaction Agreements—Expenses” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 181.
 
Expenses (page 181)
 
Except for the termination fees described above, each party is required to pay its own fees and expenses that it incurs in connection with the transaction agreements, the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements, regardless of whether the exchange offer is commenced or the exchange offer and the mergers are completed, except that expenses incurred in connection with the printing and mailing of this offer to exchange/prospectus and the filing fee for the Registration Statement will be shared equally by LAN, on the one hand, and the TAM controlling shareholders, on the other hand. See “The Transaction Agreements—Expenses” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 181.

Interests of TAM Directors and Officers in the Proposed Combination (page 190)
 
Certain members of the board of directors (including the TAM controlling shareholders) and management of TAM negotiated the terms of the transaction agreements with LAN, including those relating to the exchange offer and the mergers. These individuals may have certain interests in the proposed combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs generally and that may have caused them to view the proposed combination more favorably and/or differently than you might.

 
-28-

 
 

 
The board of directors of TAM was aware of these interests when it approved the transaction agreements and when it recommended that the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs tender their TAM shares and TAM ADSs into the exchange offer. For a further discussion of the interests of the board of directors and management of TAM and TAM controlling shareholders in the proposed combination, see the “Interests of Certain Persons” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 190.
 
Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters (page 147)
 
No further regulatory filings or approvals are required to complete the exchange offer and the mergers. For more information about the approval and filings required to complete the exchange offer and the mergers, see “The Exchange Offer—Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 147.
 
On September 21, 2011, the TDLC issued its decision (which we refer to as the “Decision”) with respect to the consultation procedure initiated on January 28, 2011 by Conadecus, a Chilean consumer association (which we refer to as “Conadecus”), in connection with the proposed combination. The persons and entities that were accepted as intervening parties in the consultation procedure, among others, are the following: Conadecus, as consultant, Fiscalía Nacional Económica, the Chilean antitrust prosecution agency (which we refer to as the “FNE”), Sky Airline, Aerolínea Principal de Chile S.A. (which we refer to as “PAL”), ACHET, a Chilean travel agents association, LAN, LAN Cargo S.A. (which we refer to as “LAN Cargo”) and TAM L.A.
 
On October 3, 2011, PAL filed an appeal in order to have the Chilean Supreme Court revoke the Decision issued by the TDLC approving the proposed combination subject to certain conditions. On October 25, 2011 LAN reached an agreement with PAL pursuant to which (i) PAL abandoned the appeal before the Chilean Supreme Court and undertook to terminate all actions or proceedings that it initiated, as well as to desist from initiating new proceedings, aimed at blocking the proposed combination between LAN and TAM, and (ii) LAN paid PAL $5,000,000.
 
On October 3, 2011, LAN also filed an appeal seeking the amendment or elimination, as applicable, of the following three conditions set forth in the Decision:
 
 
·
amendment of the seventh condition regarding mandatory prior consultation with the TDLC for the execution of certain codeshare agreements in order to eliminate the obligation to submit such agreements to the prior approval of the TDLC, replacing it with the obligation to notify the FNE of any such agreements.
 
 
·
elimination of the eighth condition regarding the abandonment of certain traffic frequencies and limitation on acquiring certain air traffic frequencies; and
 
 
·
amendment of the fourteenth condition regarding the independent consultant in order to limit and modify the intrusive and inspection powers granted to both the FNE and the consultant with respect to LAN and TAM.
 
Likewise, on the same date TAM L.A. filed an appeal seeking the amendment of the seventh condition of the Decision.
It is expected that the Chilean Supreme Court will render a final decision with respect to the above-mentioned appeals within the next four to six months. For more information about this litigation, see “The Exchange Offer—Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 147.
 
Delisting and Squeeze-out (page 179)
 
If the delisting condition is satisfied, the TAM shares will be automatically delisted from Bovespa after completion of the exchange offer. If the TAM ADSs are no longer eligible for listing on the NYSE and the NYSE does not delist them, then TAM intends to request, as it is required to do so by the transaction agreements, that the TAM ADSs be delisted from the NYSE as soon as is reasonably practicable following the effective time of the mergers if permitted by the rules of the NYSE.

 
-29-

 
 

 
If the squeeze-out condition is satisfied, TAM will compulsorily redeem any TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were not acquired pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers. In this redemption, the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs will have the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of LAN ADSs and/or LAN BDSs they would have received pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers in respect of their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs and (ii) the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the date the exchange offer is completed, duly adjusted by the Central Bank of Brazil’s overnight lending rate. For further discussion of the squeeze-out procedure, see “The Transaction Agreements—Effects of the Mergers—Statutory Squeeze-Out” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 179.
 
Source and Amount of Funds (page 154)
 
The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any financing arrangements, and no funds have been borrowed for purposes of the exchange offer. LAN will use general corporate funds to pay any cash requirements of the exchange offer, including payment for fractional shares.
 
Accounting Treatment (page 153)
 
The transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition under IFRS by use of the purchase method of accounting. For accounting purposes, LAN will be the acquirer and TAM will be the acquired entity.
 
Tax Considerations (page 132)
 
Brazilian Tax Consequences
 
Under Brazilian law, capital gains taxation rules vary depending on the residency of the non-Brazilian holder, the type of registration of the investment by the non-Brazilian holder with the Central Bank of Brazil and how the disposition is carried out. If non-Brazilian holders (in a non-tax haven jurisdiction) tender their TAM shares or TAM ADSs in the exchange offer through the US exchange agent, such non-Brazilian holders should not be subject to capital gains tax in Brazil. However, this is a controversial issue and there is a risk that the Brazilian tax authorities could impose a tax on non-Brazilian holders for the capital gain recognized in such transactions. If such transactions are taxable in Brazil, the capital gain realized on such transactions will be subject to capital gains tax at a rate of 0%, 15% or 25%, depending on whether the non-Brazilian holder is eligible for the tax benefits granted to 2,689 investors and whether the non-Brazilian holder is resident in a tax haven jurisdiction. Non-Brazilian holders that engage in such transactions will not be subject to the IOF/Exchange tax.
 
If non-Brazilian holders (in a non-tax haven jurisdiction) tender TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa, and receive in exchange LAN BDSs and/or cash, such non-Brazilian holders would not be subject to capital gains tax.  Non-Brazilian holders that engage in such transactions will subject to the IOF at 0.38%.
 
If the TAM shares of a non-Brazilian holder are acquired for cash by TAM pursuant to the statutory squeeze out, the difference between the cash received and the acquisition cost of the TAM shares will be subject to capital gains tax at a rate of 15% or 25%, depending on whether the non-Brazilian holder is resident in a tax haven jurisdiction.  The remittance of funds abroad to the non-Brazilian holder as a return of a 2,689 investment is subject to the IOF at a rate of 0%.
 
If the TAM shares underlying TAM ADSs of a non-Brazilian holder are acquired for cash by TAM pursuant to the statutory squeeze out, the capital gain recognized in the sale of such TAM shares shall be subject to capital gains taxation in Brazil at the rate of 15% (regular rate) upon the remittance made by the Brazilian custodian to the TAM depositary. The remittance of funds by the custodian of the TAM depositary will be subject to the IOF/Exchange at the rate of 0.38%.

Chilean Tax Consequences
 
In general, as a result of the Holdco II merger, non-Chilean holders receiving LAN common shares in exchange for their participation as shareholders of Holdco II should not be subject to Chilean income taxes in connection with such exchange of shares (canje). Prior to the Holdco II merger, the LAN ADS depositary and the LAN BDS depositary will be registered as shareholders of Holdco II as a result of the contribution of TAM ADSs and TAM shares, respectively into Holdco II. Provided that the Central Bank of Chile authorizes that as a result of the capital increase approved by the shareholders of LAN in connection with the merger by incorporation (fusión por incorporación) of Holdco II into LAN, newly issued LAN common shares are received by the LAN ADS depositary and the LAN BDS depositary from LAN (as the registered shareholders of Holdco II) and such LAN common shares are registered under the name of the LAN ADS depositary and LAN BDS depositary for purposes of the issuance of LAN ADSs (evidenced by LAN ADRs) and LAN BDSs (evidenced by LAN BDRs), respectively, in compliance with Chilean laws and regulations issued by the Central Bank of Chile and the SVS on this matter, the issuance and delivery of LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs by the LAN ADS depositary and LAN BDS depositary, respectively, to non-Chilean holders abroad should not be subject to Chilean income taxes.
 
Assuming that the SVS expressly confirms that LAN BDRs (evidencing LAN BDSs) qualify as foreign securities representing the shares of a Chilean entity, the characteristics and mechanism of which are equivalent to LAN ADRs (evidencing LAN ADSs), and that such LAN BDRs should comply with the same rules and regulations issued by the SVS and the Central Bank of Chile governing the issuance of ADRs, the same tax treatment afforded to LAN ADRs should be applicable to LAN BDRs (circumstances and tax treatment that are assumed for purpose of the analysis of LAN BDSs contained in the “Chilean Tax Consequences” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus).
 
Cash dividends LAN pays with respect to LAN common shares, LAN BDSs (evidenced by LAN BDRs) or LAN ADSs (evidenced by LAN ADRs) held by a non-Chilean holder will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, which LAN withholds and pays over to the Chilean tax authorities (which we refer to as the “Withholding Tax” or “Chilean Withholding Tax”). A credit against the Withholding Tax is available based on the corporate income tax LAN actually paid (if any) on the income to which the dividend is attributed according to the provisions of the Chilean Income Tax Law (which we refer to as “Chilean ITL) and the interpretations of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (which we refer to as the “Chilean IRS”); however, this credit does not reduce the Withholding Tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases the base on which the Withholding Tax is imposed. If LAN registers net income (book profits) but taxable losses, no credit against the Withholding Tax will be available.
 
Gains from the sale or other disposition by a non-Chilean holder of LAN BDRs (evidencing LAN BDSs) or LAN ADRs (evidencing LAN ADSs) outside Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation. The withdrawal of common shares in exchange for LAN BDSs or LAN ADSs will not be subject to any Chilean taxes.
 
Gains recognized on a sale or disposition by a non-Chilean holder of LAN common shares (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of LAN BDRs (evidencing LAN BDSs) or LAN ADRs (evidencing LAN ADSs) representing such shares of common stock) may be subject to both the First Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter) if (i) the non-Chilean holder has held the LAN common shares for less than one year since exchanging LAN ADSs (or LAN BDSs, if applicable) for the LAN common shares; (ii) the non-Chilean holder acquired and disposed of the LAN common shares in the ordinary course of its business or as a habitual trader of shares; or (iii) the non-Chilean holder and the purchaser of the LAN common shares are “related parties” or has an interest in the latter within the meaning of Section 17, Number 8, of the Chilean ITL. In all other cases, gains on the disposition of LAN common shares will generally be subject only to a capital gains tax which is assessed at the same rate as the First Category Tax, as sole income tax (currently levied at a rate of 20%) and no Withholding Tax will apply.

In certain circumstances and provided that certain requirements are met, gains recognized on the sale of shares of common stock that are publicly traded and have a high presence in the stock exchange will not be subject to capital gains tax in Chile.
 
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
The receipt of LAN ADSs, LAN BDSs or cash in exchange for TAM shares or TAM ADSs pursuant to the exchange offer will be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the TAM shares or TAM ADSs have been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a noncorporate US holder generally is subject to preferential tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
 
In general, cash dividends paid with respect to LAN shares (including the net amount of the Chilean Withholding Tax withheld on the distribution after taking into account the credit for the First Category Tax), will be included in a US holder’s gross income as ordinary income when received and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations. The US dollar amount of dividends received by a noncorporate US holder with respect to the LAN ADSs will generally be “qualified dividend income” subject to taxation at a maximum rate of 15% for taxable years before January 1, 2013 and with respect to the LAN common shares or LAN BDSs will be subject to taxation at ordinary income tax rates.
 
If you are a US holder, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of LAN shares generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the LAN shares have been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a noncorporate US holder generally is subject to preferential tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
 
Brazilian capital gains taxes that may be imposed on a US holder upon the receipt of LAN ADSs, LAN BDSs or cash in exchange for TAM shares or TAM ADSs pursuant to the exchange offer and Chilean capital gains taxes that may be imposed on a US holder upon the disposition of the LAN common shares will generally be treated as foreign income taxes eligible for credit against a US holder’s US federal income tax liability or for deduction in computing such US holder’s US federal taxable income. However, a US holder may not be able to use the tax credit arising from any of the aforementioned taxes unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources in the appropriate income category. In general, Chilean Withholding Tax withheld from dividends paid with respect to LAN shares will be treated as a foreign source income tax eligible for credit against a US holder’s US federal income tax liability or for deduction in computing such US holder’s US federal taxable income. No credit or deduction is available for the portion of the Withholding Tax that is determined to be excessive under Chilean ITL and for which a US holder has a right to reimbursement.

Comparison of Rights of Holders of LAN Common Shares, LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs and TAM ADSs and TAM shares (page 201)
 
If your TAM shares or TAM ADSs are acquired in the exchange offer, you will become a holder of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs, each of which will represent one LAN common share deposited with the applicable depositary. Your rights as a holder of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs will be determined by the applicable deposit agreement. The rights of a holder of the LAN common shares represented by your LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs will be governed by LAN’s by-laws, the Chilean Corporation Law and the Chilean corporation regulations. See the “Comparison of Rights of Holders of LAN Securities and TAM Securities” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 201.

In 2008, LAN recorded a provision of US$109.0 million in Other gains/(losses) in connection with a plea agreement entered into with the United States Department of Justice regarding an antitrust investigation related to LAN’s cargo business (see “Information on the Company—Business of the Company—Cargo Operations—Cargo Related Investigations,” under Item 4 included in the LAN 2010 Form 20-F). For the period ended December 31, 2010, LAN recorded a US$14.0 million gain (pre-tax) due to the reversal of a portion of the provision related to the investigation in the cargo business carried out by the European Commission. This was as a result of the fine announced in November 2010, which was lower than the amount provided for. This reversal is recorded in Other gains/(losses).

In addition to the matters described under the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 18 and the risk factors contained in the LAN 2010 Form 20-F and the TAM 2010 Form 20-F that are incorporated by reference into this offer to exchange/prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding whether or not to tender your TAM shares or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer. Each of the matters described in these risk factors could have a material adverse effect on the businesses, financial condition and/or results of operations of LAN and TAM individually or as combined companies and on the market price of the LAN shares.
 
Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer and Mergers
 
The completion of the exchange offer is subject to many conditions precedent and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the exchange offer and mergers will not be completed
 
The completion of the exchange offer is subject to certain conditions set forth in the transaction agreements as described under “The Transaction Agreements—Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 172, including:
 
 
·
The delisting condition, which requires that the holders of more than 66 2/3% of the qualifying minority shares shall have:
 
 
o
validly tendered such shares into, and not withdrawn them from, the exchange offer through the US exchange agent or the Auction on Bovespa and/or
 
 
o
expressly agreed with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM and not withdrawn such agreement.
 
This is the minimum tender required to cause the delisting of the TAM shares from Bovespa after completion of the exchange offer under the rules of Bovespa and applicable Brazilian law.
 
 
·
The squeeze-out condition, which requires that the sum of (i) the number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs which are validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer and (ii) the number of TAM shares beneficially owned by the TAM controlling shareholders represents more than 95% of the total issued and outstanding TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) (which is the minimum acquisition threshold required to give TAM the right under applicable Brazilian law to compulsorily redeem all TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were not acquired in the exchange offer and the mergers).
 
Certain of these conditions, including the delisting condition, may not be waived without written agreement of both LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders, and neither LAN nor the TAM controlling shareholders have any obligation to waive any conditions not satisfied on or prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. If a party whose waiver is required with respect to an unsatisfied condition refuses to grant such waiver, the exchange offer will not be completed. In addition, the obligation of the TAM controlling shareholders under the transaction agreements to make and pay the subscription for TEP Chile shares by contributing to TEP Chile all of their TAM shares and TEP Chile’s obligation to pay for the subscriptions of Sister Holdco shares and Holdco I shares by, directly or indirectly, contributing to Holdco I and Sister Holdco all of the TAM shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders prior to the completion of the exchange offer is subject to certain conditions relating to the operations and business of LAN and certain events outside of LAN’s and TAM’s control. Payment of such subscriptions is a condition to the completion of the exchange offer. If any of these conditions is not satisfied or waived, the exchange offer and mergers will not be completed. For further discussion of these subscriptions, see “The Transaction Agreements—Conditions to the Subscriptions” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 174.

Because the exchange ratio is fixed, the value of the LAN ADSs and/or LAN BDSs you will receive as a result of the exchange offer and mergers is likely to fluctuate
 
If you tender your TAM shares in the Auction and your TAM shares are acquired in the exchange offer, you will receive 0.90 of a LAN BDS per TAM share. If you tender your TAM shares or TAM ADSs in the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and your TAM ADSs and/or TAM shares are acquired in the exchange offer, you will receive 0.90 of a LAN ADS per TAM ADS or TAM share. Each LAN BDS or LAN ADS represents one LAN common share. This exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market prices of any of the securities of either company. As a result, you will receive a fixed number of LAN BDSs or LAN ADSs in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers, and changes in the market prices of these securities and the underlying LAN common shares will affect the value of what you will receive.
 
The market prices of the LAN common shares, LAN ADSs, TAM shares and TAM ADSs are likely to fluctuate before the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers and this will affect the value represented by the exchange ratio both in terms of the TAM shares or TAM ADSs tendered by you or on your behalf and what you will receive in exchange. For example, based on the closing prices on Bovespa translated at the US$/Brazilian real exchange rate, the market value of one TAM preferred share has varied from a high of $25.22 to a low of $14.13 between August 12, 2010 (the last trading day before LAN and TAM announced that they had entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding for the proposed business combination (which we refer to as the “Memorandum of Understanding”) to pursue the proposed combination) and November 11, 2011, the last trading day prior to the date of this offer to exchange/prospectus), while based on the closing prices on the SSE translated at the Chilean observed exchange rate published on November 11, 2011 the market value of 0.90 of a LAN common share has varied from a high of $28.61 to a low of $17.21 between August 12, 2010 and ______, 2011. In addition, based on the closing prices of LAN ADSs and TAM ADSs on the NYSE, the market value of one TAM ADS has varied from a high of $25.85 to a low of $14.47 between August 12, 2010 and ____, 2011, while the market value of 0.90 of a LAN ADS has varied from a high of $28.69 to a low of $17.53 between August 12, 2010 and November 11, 2011.
 
The market prices of LAN common shares, LAN ADSs, TAM shares and TAM ADSs are, and the LAN BDSs will be, subject to general price fluctuations in the market for publicly traded equity securities and have experienced significant volatility in the past. Market price variations in these securities could result from actual or investors’ perceptions of changes in the businesses, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of LAN or TAM prior to and/or following the exchange offer and the mergers, regulatory considerations, legal proceedings, exchange rates, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of LAN or TAM.
 
The transaction agreements contain provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of TAM
 
The transaction agreements require the board of directors of TAM to recommend that the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs tender such shares into the exchange offer but do not permit them to withdraw or adversely modify that recommendation. The transaction agreements also contain “no shop” provisions that prohibit TAM and the TAM controlling shareholders from, directly or indirectly, soliciting, initiating or encouraging any competing third-party proposals, including acquisitions of equity securities or material assets of TAM and its subsidiaries, and there are no exceptions to these provisions. In addition, if the transaction agreements are terminated under certain circumstances, LAN or TAM may be required to pay to the other party a termination fee of $200 million and to reimburse expenses incurred by the other party in connection with the transaction agreements and the proposed combination. For more information on these limitations and payment obligations, see “The Transaction Agreements—No Solicitation” and “The Transaction Agreements—Termination” sections of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on pages 171 and 179, respectively. These provisions could discourage a third party that might have an interest in a competing transaction from considering or proposing that transaction, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a value per share higher than the consideration the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs may receive pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers, or might result in the third party proposing to pay a lower price to the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the $200 million termination fee and expense reimbursement that may become payable in certain circumstances.

Certain members of the board of directors (which includes the TAM controlling shareholders) and management of TAM may have interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of TAM shareholders generally
 
Certain members of the board of directors (including the TAM controlling shareholders) and management of TAM negotiated the terms of the transaction agreements with LAN, including those relating to the exchange offer and the mergers. These individuals may have certain interests in the proposed combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of TAM shareholders generally and that may have caused them to view the proposed combination more favorably and/or differently than you might. You should consider the following interests of certain members of TAM’s board of directors and management before deciding whether or not to tender your TAM shares or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer:
 
 
·
the continued employment of some members of TAM management by the combined companies;
 
 
·
the appointment of certain members of the board of directors of TAM as members of the board of directors of LATAM, which will be the holding company for the combined companies and TAM after the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers; and
 
 
·
the facts that Mr. André Santos Esteves, a member of the board of directors of TAM, is the chief executive officer of BTG Pactual and Mr. Carlos Daniel Rizzo da Fonseca, a senior executive of BTG Pactual and head of the Merchant Banking Division of BTG Pactual, serves on the board of directors of TAMs subsidiary Multiplus S.A. (which we refer to as “Multiplus”). BTG Pactual is acting as the financial advisor and rendered a fairness opinion to the board of directors of TAM with respect to the proposed combination of LAN and TAM. 
 
The board of directors of TAM was aware of these interests when it approved the transaction agreements and when it recommended that the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs tender their TAM shares and TAM ADSs into the exchange offer. For a further discussion of the interests of the board of directors and management of TAM and TAM controlling shareholders in the proposed combination, see the “Interests of Certain Persons” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 190.”  For information about the services BTG Pactual has rendered to TAM and its affiliates and the fees TAM and its affiliates have paid to BTG Pactual in the past and will pay to BTG Pactual if the proposed combination is completed, see the “TAM Board of Directors’ Recommendation—Opinion of TAM’s Financial Advisor” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 103.
 
The fairness opinion obtained by the board of directors of TAM from their financial advisors will not be updated to reflect any developments or changes in circumstances occurring after the signing of the transaction agreements
 
The board of directors of TAM has not obtained an update of the BTG Pactual Opinion, dated as of August 13, 2010. Changes since the date of this fairness opinion in the businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of TAM or LAN, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of TAM and LAN on which the fairness opinion was based could alter the value or prices of the TAM shares, the TAM ADSs, the LAN common shares, the LAN BDSs and the LAN ADSs by the time the exchange offer and the mergers are completed. The fairness opinion does not speak as of the time the exchange offer and the mergers will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such fairness opinion. Because TAM does not anticipate asking its financial advisor to update its fairness opinion, the fairness opinion does not address the fairness of the exchange ratio or merger consideration, from a financial point of view, at the time the exchange offer and the mergers will be completed. The fairness opinion is included as Annex B to this offer to exchange/prospectus. For a description of the BTG Pactual Opinion and a summary of the material financial analyses BTG Pactual provided to the board of directors of TAM in connection with rendering such opinion, please refer to the “TAM Board of Directors’ Recommendation―Opinion of TAM’s Financial Advisor” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 103. For a description of the other factors considered by the board of directors of TAM in determining whether to approve the transaction agreements, please see the “TAM Board of Directors’ Recommendation” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 103.

The appraisal report obtained by TAM will not be updated to reflect any developments or changes in circumstances occurring after the date of the Appraisal Report
 
TAM retained and received an appraisal report from ____, the Appraiser, as to the economic value per share of TAM and LAN as required by Brazilian law. This appraisal report was rendered as of ____, 2011. TAM has not obtained an update of the Appraisal Report. Changes since the date of the Appraisal Report in the businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of TAM or LAN, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of TAM and LAN on which the Appraisal Report was based could alter the value or prices of the TAM shares, the TAM ADSs, the LAN common shares, the LAN BDSs and LAN ADSs by the time the exchange offer and the mergers are completed. The Appraisal Report does not speak as of the time the exchange offer and the mergers will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such Appraisal Report. Because TAM does not anticipate asking the Appraiser to update its appraisal report, the Appraisal Report will not address the economic value per share of TAM and LAN at the time the exchange offer and the mergers will be completed. The Appraisal Report is included as Annex C to this offer to exchange/prospectus and is incorporated by reference herein. For a description of the Appraisal Report and a summary of the material financial analyses on which it is based, please refer to the “TAM Board of Directors’ Recommendation—Appraisal Report” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 109.
 
The rights of the holders of LAN common shares, LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs are materially different than the current rights of holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs
 
The rights of holders of TAM common ADSs are governed by the deposit agreement among TAM, the TAM depositary and the holders of TAM common ADSs, the rights of holders of TAM preferred ADSs are governed by the deposit agreement among TAM, the TAM depository and the holders of TAM preferred ADSs and the rights of holders of TAM shares are governed by Brazilian law, TAM’s by-laws and the rules of Bovespa. If your TAM shares or TAM ADSs are acquired in the exchange offer, you will receive LAN BDSs or LAN ADSs representing LAN common shares. Your rights as a holder of LAN common shares will be governed by Chilean Corporation Law, Chilean corporation regulations, LAN’s by-laws and the rules of the SSE, which are materially different than the rights you currently have as a holder of TAM shares. The rights of a holder of LAN ADSs are governed by a deposit agreement among LAN, the LAN ADS depositary and holders of LAN ADSs from time to time and the form of ADR attached thereto, and the rights of a holder of LAN BDSs are governed by a deposit agreement among LAN, Itaú Corretora de Valores, S.A. (which we refer to as “Itaú” and, in its capacity as the depositary of LAN BDSs, the “LAN BDS depositary”) and the holders of LAN BDSs from time to time, which are different in some respects from the rights of holders of TAM ADSs. For a discussion of these differences, see the “Comparison of Rights of Holders of LAN Securities and TAM Securities” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 201.
 
You may be forced to tender your TAM shares or TAM ADSs to TAM if the squeeze-out condition is satisfied and TAM effects a redemption under Brazilian law
 
If the exchange offer is completed and the sum of (i) the number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer and (ii) the number of TAM shares beneficially owned by the TAM controlling shareholders (which represented approximately 85.37% of the outstanding TAM common shares and 25.09% of the outstanding TAM preferred shares as of September 30, 2011) represents more than 95% of the total number of issued and outstanding TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs), then the squeeze-out condition will be satisfied and TAM will compulsorily redeem any TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were not acquired in the exchange offer. In this redemption, any TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) not acquired pursuant to the exchange offer will be redeemed by TAM for cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs the holders would have received pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers in respect of such TAM shares or TAM ADSs and (ii) the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the date the exchange offer is completed, duly adjusted by the Central Bank of Brazil’s overnight lending rate. For further discussion of the squeeze-out procedure, see “The Transaction Agreements—Effects of the Mergers—Statutory Squeeze-Out” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 179.

Resales of LAN shares issued in the mergers may cause the market price of such shares to fall
 
As of September 30, 2011, 339,358,209 LAN shares were issued and outstanding (of which 34.01% were beneficially owned by the LAN controlling shareholders) and 1,641,791 LAN shares were subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding options and other rights to purchase such shares. In the mergers, LAN expects to issue a significant amount of LAN shares in the form of LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs to the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs in exchange for their TAM shares or TAM ADSs, although the actual number of LAN shares issued will depend on the extent to which holders of such TAM shares and TAM ADSs elect to tender their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer and the number of vested stock options and other rights to acquire TAM shares that are exercised before the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers. If all holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs, other than the TAM controlling shareholders, validly tender all of their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into, and do not withdraw them from, the exchange offer, the TAM controlling shareholders make and pay for the subscription of a number of shares of TEP Chile, which, when added to the shares of TEP Chile held by the TAM controlling shareholders at that time, would equal 100% of the shares of TEP Chile by contributing all of their TAM shares to TEP Chile, TEP Chile pays for the subscriptions of Sister Holdco shares and Holdco I shares by, directly or indirectly, contributing to Holdco I and Sister Holdco all of the TAM shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders, no shareholders of LAN exercise their appraisal rights (derecho a retiro) under Chilean law in connection with approval of the mergers and no TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) or LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs) are issued after the date of this offer to exchange/prospectus other than the LAN common shares to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers which will be represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs, then immediately after the effective time of the mergers the issued and outstanding LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs) will be owned approximately as follows: 13.66% of such LAN shares will be held by the TAM controlling shareholders, 15.63% of such LAN shares will be held by the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs other than the TAM controlling shareholders, 24.04% of such LAN shares will be held by the LAN controlling shareholders and 46.66% of such LAN shares will be held by the holders of LAN shares other than the LAN controlling shareholders. If there are substantial sales of the newly issued LAN shares shortly after the effective time of the mergers, this could adversely affect the market for, and the market price of, the LAN common shares, the LAN ADSs and the LAN BDSs.
 
If the exchange offer and the mergers are completed, the liquidity and market value of any TAM shares and TAM ADSs not acquired by Holdco II and LAN could be adversely affected
 
If a sufficient number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs are acquired in the exchange offer and the delisting condition is satisfied, the TAM shares will be automatically delisted from Bovespa. If the TAM ADSs are no longer eligible for listing on the NYSE and the NYSE does not delist them, then TAM intends to request, as it is required to do so by the transaction agreements, that the TAM ADSs be delisted from the NYSE as soon as is reasonably practicable following the effective time of the mergers if permitted by the rules of the NYSE. If these delistings occur, the amount of publicly available information concerning TAM and its operations would be reduced and the liquidity of and markets for the TAM shares and TAM ADSs would be adversely affected. While the TAM shares and TAM ADSs might trade in over-the-counter markets, such markets may not develop and, even if they do, the extent of the public market and the availability of market quotations for these securities are likely to be significantly reduced and would depend upon the number and/or the aggregate market value of, and the interest of securities firms in maintaining a market for, these TAM securities. As a result of the foregoing, you should not assume that the TAM shares and TAM ADSs will continue to be listed on Bovespa and the NYSE, respectively, or that there will be a liquid and active trading market for such securities after completion of the exchange offer and the mergers.
 
Risks Relating to the Combination of LAN and TAM
 
LAN may be unable to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed combination
 
After completion of the proposed combination, LAN will change its name to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.” The proposed combination involves bringing together two large and complex businesses that currently operate as independent public companies. LAN will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating certain aspects of the business practices and operations of LAN and TAM. The success of the proposed combination will depend, in part, on LAN’s ability to realize anticipated revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities by combining the businesses of LAN and TAM. LAN hopes to generate synergies resulting from the consolidation of capabilities, rationalization of operations and headcount, greater efficiencies from increased scale and market integration, new product and service offerings and organic growth. There is a risk, however, that LAN may not be able to combine the businesses of LAN and TAM in a manner that permits LAN to realize these revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities in the time, manner or amounts LAN currently expects or at all. Potential difficulties LAN may encounter as part of the integration process include, among other things:
 
 
-43-

 

 
·
the inability to successfully combine the businesses of LAN and TAM in a manner that permits LAN to achieve the full revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities anticipated to result from the proposed combination;
 
 
·
complexities associated with managing the combined companies;
 
 
·
the need to implement, integrate and harmonize various business-specific operating procedures and systems, as well as the financial, accounting, information and other systems of LAN and TAM;
 
 
·
potential loss of key employees as a result of implementing the proposed combination;
 
 
·
the need to coordinate the existing products and customer bases of LAN and TAM; and
 
 
·
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the exchange offer, the mergers and the other combination transactions, including one-time cash costs to complete and implement the proposed combination that may exceed the one-time cash costs that LAN currently anticipates.
 
In addition, LAN and TAM have operated and, until the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers, will continue to operate under their existing separate airline certificates. It is possible that the integration process could result in:
 
 
·
diversion of management’s attention from their normal areas of responsibility to address integration issues; and
 
 
·
the disruption of, or the loss of momentum in, each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in its standards, controls, procedures and policies,
 
each of which could adversely affect each company’s ability to maintain good relationships with its customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies, or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the proposed combination, and could increase costs or reduce each company’s earnings or otherwise adversely affect the businesses, financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects of the combined companies following the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers. Actual revenue synergies, cost savings, growth opportunities and efficiency and operational benefits that result from the proposed combination may be lower and may take a longer time to achieve than LAN currently expects.
 
The integration of two large companies also presents significant management challenges. In order to achieve the anticipated benefits of the proposed combination, the operations of the two companies will need to be reorganized and their resources will need to be combined in a timely and flexible manner. There can be no assurance that LAN will be able to implement these steps as anticipated or at all. If LAN fails to achieve the planned restructuring effectively within the time frame that is currently contemplated or to the extent that is currently planned, or if for any other reason the expected revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities fail to materialize, the exchange offer, the mergers and the other combination transactions described in this offer to exchange/prospectus may not produce the benefits LAN currently anticipates.

 
-44-

 

LAN has and will continue to incur significant costs and expenses in connection with the proposed combination and integration of the business operations of LAN and TAM
 
LAN has incurred and will continue to incur substantial expenses in connection with the proposed combination and the integration of LAN and TAM. Non-recurring expenses expected to be incurred by LAN in connection with the proposed combination are estimated to be approximately $25 million in 2011. Significant costs and expenses have been and are being incurred related to the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions discussed in this offer to exchange/prospectus. These costs and expenses include financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees and expenses, reorganization and restructuring costs, severance/employee benefit-related expenses, filing fees, printing expenses and other related charges. Some of these costs are payable by LAN and TAM depending on the nature of the expense and regardless of whether the proposed combination is completed. There are also a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the proposed combination. While both LAN and TAM have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred in connection with these transactions, there are many factors beyond LAN’s and TAM’s control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration and implementation expenses. Moreover, there could also be significant amounts payable in cash to dissenting shareholders of LAN who exercise their appraisal rights (derecho a retiro) under Chilean law in connection with approval of the mergers, which could adversely affect LAN’s liquidity.
 
There may also be additional unanticipated significant costs in connection with the proposed combination that LAN may not recoup. These costs and expenses could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that LAN expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale, other efficiencies and cost savings. Although LAN expects that these savings will offset these integration and implementation costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all.
 
In addition, TAM expects to prepay all amounts due on the debentures it issued in 2006 prior to the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers. In 2006, TAM became the first Brazilian airline to register a program for the issuance of debentures with the CVM.  In August 2006, TAM offered R$500 million in principal amount of debentures pursuant to this program, of which R$166 million are still outstanding. The final maturity date of these debentures is August 2012. The terms of the debentures require TAM to prepay all amounts due on the debentures upon cancellation of the registration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM, which cancellation will occur if the delisting condition is satisfied.
 
LAN will not control the voting shares or board of directors of TAM
 
After completion of the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements:
 
 
·
the TAM controlling shareholders will own at least 80% of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I;
 
 
·
LAN will own up to 20% of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I;
 
 
·
LAN will own 100% of the outstanding non-voting shares of Holdco I (which will entitle it to virtually all of the economic rights in Holdco I);
 
 
·
Holdco I will own all of the TAM common shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were acquired in the exchange offer or contributed to TEP Chile by the TAM controlling shareholders;
 
 
·
LAN will own all of the TAM preferred shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were acquired in the exchange offer and the mergers; and
 
 
·
under the terms of the transaction agreements, the TAM controlling shareholders will have the right to appoint two-thirds of the members of the board of directors of each of Holdco I, TAM and each airline subsidiary of TAM, and LAN will have the right to appoint the remaining one-third of the members of each such board of directors.

 
-45-

 

As a result of this ownership and governance structure:
 
 
·
the TAM controlling shareholders will, by virtue of their control of the voting shares of Holdco I and the boards of directors of each of Holdco I, TAM and each airline subsidiary of TAM, retain voting and board control of TAM and each airline subsidiary of TAM; and
 
 
·
LAN, by virtue of its ownership of all of the non-voting shares of Holdco I and TAM preferred shares acquired in the exchange offer or the mergers, will be entitled to virtually all of the economic rights in TAM subject only to the rights of holders of any TAM shares not so acquired.
 
LAN, the TAM controlling shareholders and other parties have entered into shareholders agreements that establish agreements and restrictions relating to corporate governance in an attempt to balance LAN’s interests, as the owner of substantially all of the economic rights in TAM, and the TAM controlling shareholders, as the continuing controlling shareholders of TAM under Brazilian law, by prohibiting the taking of certain specified material corporate actions and decisions without prior approval of the holders of at least 95% of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I and/or supermajority approvals of the board of directors of Holdco I, TAM and each airline subsidiary of TAM, each of which would require the approval of LAN or at least one director appointed by it. However, no assurances can be given that LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders will be able to reach an agreement with respect to such supermajority voting or board matters in the future and if they do not, the businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the combined companies could be adversely affected. For further discussion of these arrangements, see the “Shareholders Agreements” section of this exchange offer/prospectus beginning on page 183.
 
Uncertainties associated with the proposed combination may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees that could adversely affect LAN, TAM and/or the combined companies
 
The success of the proposed combination is dependent, in part, on the experience and industry knowledge of their senior management and other key employees of LAN and TAM and their ability to execute their business plans. In order to be successful, LAN, TAM and the combined companies must be able to retain the senior management and other key employees and their ability to attract highly qualified personnel in the future. Current and prospective employees of LAN and TAM may experience uncertainty about their roles within LATAM following completion of the proposed combination, which may have an adverse effect on the ability of LAN, TAM or the combined companies to retain or attract senior management and other key employees. Competition for highly qualified personnel in the various localities and business segments in which LAN and TAM operate is intense. No assurances can be given that LAN and TAM or, after completion of the proposed combination, the combined companies will be able to retain or attract senior management and other key employees to the same extent that LAN and TAM have previously been able to do so.
 
The financial results of LATAM will be more exposed to currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of the proposed combination and the resulting increase in the proportion of assets, liabilities and earnings that are denominated in currencies other than US dollars
 
LATAM will prepare and present its consolidated financial statements in US dollars. The proposed combination will significantly increase the proportion of LAN’s consolidated net assets, revenues and income in non-US dollar currencies, primarily Chilean pesos and Brazilian real. The consolidated financial condition and results of operations of LATAM will therefore be more sensitive to movements in exchange rates between the US dollar and other currencies. A depreciation of non-US dollar currencies relative to the US dollar could have an adverse impact on the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of LATAM.
 
LATAM’s future results will suffer if it cannot effectively manage its expanded operations following completion of the proposed combination
 
Following the completion of the proposed combination, the size of the business of the combined companies will be significantly larger and more complex than the current business of LAN or TAM. LAN’s future success will depend, in part, on LAN’s ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including those related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that LATAM will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue synergies and other benefits currently anticipated by LAN and TAM from the proposed combination.

 
-46-

 

The proposed combination could cause a downgrade of LAN’s credit ratings, which could have a negative effect on LAN’s business
 
TAM currently has a lower credit rating and is more leveraged than LAN. As a result of the proposed combination, LAN’s credit rating could be downgraded by one or more credit rating agencies, which could adversely affect the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the combined companies. If LAN’s credit rating is downgraded, it could affect LAN’s ability to finance future fleet acquisitions and/or increase LAN’s financing costs.
 
It may take time to combine the frequent flyer programs of LAN and TAM
 
LAN and TAM each currently run their own frequent flyer programs. While LAN intends to integrate these programs so that passengers can use frequent flyer miles earned with either LAN or TAM interchangeably, there is no guarantee that this integration will be completed in the near term or at all. Even if the integration occurs, the successful integration of these programs will involve some time and expense. Until LAN effectively combines these programs, passengers may prefer the frequent flyer programs offered by other airlines.
 
LAN will have to withdraw from an existing airline alliance
 
LAN is currently a member of the OneWorld® airline alliance while TAM is a member of the Star Alliance airline alliance. Although LAN and TAM will continue operating under their existing separate operating certificates after the proposed combination, due to conditions imposed by the Chilean antitrust regulators, LAN and TAM may not participate in more than one airline alliance after the end of the 24-month period following completion of the proposed combination.

In 2008, LAN recorded a provision of US$109.0 million in Other gains/(losses) in connection with a plea agreement entered into with the United States Department of Justice regarding an antitrust investigation related to LAN’s cargo business (see “Information on the Company—Business of the Company—Cargo Operations—Cargo Related Investigations,” under Item 4 included in the LAN 2010 Form 20-F). For the period ended December 31, 2010, LAN recorded a US$14.0 million gain (pre-tax) due to the reversal of a portion of the provision related to the investigation in the cargo business carried out by the European Commission. This was as a result of the fine announced in November 2010, which was lower than the amount provided for. This reversal is recorded in Other gains/(losses).
 
(5)
For the period ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, LAN had 338,790,909 common shares outstanding, which was equivalent to 338,790,909 LAN ADSs.

First Half 2011 Financial Highlights
 
 
·
LAN reported net income of US$106.9 million in the first half of 2011, a decrease of 27.4% compared to US$147.3 million reported in the first half of 2010. Results of the first half of 2011 were significantly impacted by one-time non-operating effects, as well as operational impacts including higher fuel prices, the presence of volcanic ash on certain routes and the start-up of LAN’s operations in Colombia.
 
 
·
Total revenues in the first half of 2011 reached US$2,628.0 million compared to US$2,009.6 million in the first half of 2010 due to a 31.9% increase in passenger revenues and a 28.0% increase in cargo revenues. Revenue increases reflect continued strong demand in both the passenger and cargo businesses, despite a seasonally low quarter included in the period of analysis as the second quarter. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 71.3% and 28.7% of total revenues, respectively, during the first half of 2011.
 
 
·
Operating results were impacted by higher fuel prices, which generated US$198.8 million in increased fuel costs and, together with the increase in fuel consumption, represents a 49.5% increase compared to the first half of 2010.
 
 
·
At an operational level, LAN was also impacted by the consolidation of US$21 million in losses generated by the start-up of LAN’s Colombian operations, and US$18 million derived from a combination of lost revenue and certain additional costs resulting from the presence of volcanic ash on certain routes, which affected air traffic in the region during June 2011.
 
 
·
At a non-operational level, LAN’s consolidated result was impacted by the settlement agreement totaling US$66 million related to the civil class action in the cargo business, partially offset by the US$45 million gain from the sale of Blue Express International Servicios de Transporte Limitada and Blue Express S.A. (which we refer to collectively as “Blue Express”), both of which were one-time effects.
 
 
·
In line with the LAN’s expansion, during the first half of 2011, LAN received a total of three Airbus A319 and seven Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, acquired for domestic and regional markets, and one Boeing 767-300F freighter, acquired primarily for growth on northbound routes. On June 22, 2011, LAN announced the signing of an agreement to purchase 20 modern, eco-efficient A320 New Engine Option Airbus A320 family aircraft to be delivered between 2017 and 2018.
 
First Half 2011 Operational Highlights
 
 
·
Passenger business continued to experience traffic growth and a 9.8% expansion in yields. Passenger traffic growth during the period reached 20.2%, while load factors reached 79.3%, 3.3% higher than in the first half of 2010. Total passenger capacity as measured in ASKs grew 15.1%. Revenues per ASK (which we refere to as “RASKs”) increased 14.5%, driven by higher load factors and yields. Passenger yields increased primarily as a result of an increase in fuel surcharges, in line with the increase of crude oil prices and the crack spread, and a strong demand environment.
 
 
·
During the first half of 2011, LAN’s cargo revenues reflected the continued strong growth in LAN Cargo’s traffic, with Revenue Ton Kilometer (which we refer to as “RTK”) growth of 12.3%. Cargo capacity in the period grew 14.7%, resulting in a load factor of 68.4%, 1.5% lower than the first half of 2010. Yields showed a 14.0% improvement compared to the first half of 2010, driven by higher fuel surcharges and a focus on profitable route selection, leading to an 11.6% increase in unit revenue.

Outlook
 
Considering current market conditions and the estimated impact of the volcanic ash cloud on passenger operations, LAN expects passenger ASK growth in 2011 to be approximately 14% to 16%. This will be driven by the net delivery of 18 passenger aircraft and the incorporation of the operations of Aerovías de Integración Regional, AIRES S.A. (which we refer to as “AIRES”), which LAN acquired on November 26, 2010 through its subsidiary LAN Pax Group S.A. LAN Cargo’s expected cargo Available Ton Kilometer (which we refer to as “ATK”) growth in 2011 is between 12% and 14%, mainly driven by the delivery of three Boeing 767-300F freighters between November 2010 and January 2011.

Net Income
 
Net income decreased 27.5% from US$147.4 million in the first half of 2010 to US$106.9 million in the first half of 2011. Net income attributable to the parent company’s equity holders decreased 24.0% from US$148.9 million in the first half of 2010 to US$113.2 million in the first half of 2011.
 
The revenue increase during the first half of 2011 was driven by continuous growth and capacity expansion in both the passenger and cargo businesses. In addition, yields increased significantly due to higher fares as a result of a stronger demand environment, as well as higher fuel surcharges.
 
Operating costs increased mainly due to higher fuel prices, higher wages and higher costs related to rentals and maintenance due to the incorporation of AIRES’ fleet.
 
Operating Revenues
 
Operating revenues in the first half of 2011 totaled US$2,628.0 million, a 30.7% increase as compared to total operating revenues of US$2,009.6 million in the first half of 2010. LAN’s consolidated passenger revenues increase 31.9% to US$1,875.1 million in the first half of 2011 from US$1,421.7 million in the first half of 2010, due to a 9.8% increase in yields (from US¢9.2 to US¢10.1), and passenger load factors, which increased from 76.0% in the first half of 2010 to 79.3% in the first half of 2011 as the 20.2% increase in traffic outpaced the 15.1% capacity increase. The growth rates in traffic and capacity in the first half of 2011 included the impact of the earthquake that affected Chile on February 27, 2010, resulting in a lower comparison basis as the impact of the event lasted until May 2010, as well as the inorganic growth resulting from the inclusion of AIRES’ domestic and international operations. During June 2011 the passenger business’s capacity, and to a lesser extent traffic, was affected by the presence of volcanic ash, which affected air traffic in the region and LAN´s potential capacity growth during the month of June. Overall, revenues per ASK increased 14.5%. Traffic grew as a result of a 23.7% increase in domestic traffic (including domestic operations of LAN and its affiliates in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia), and an 18.6% increase in international traffic. International traffic accounted for 68.8% of total passenger traffic during the the first half of 2011. Yields increased 9.8% due to higher fares as a result of higher fuel surcharges, as well as a strong demand environment.
 
Domestic passenger revenues in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia, which accounted for approximately 38.7% of LAN’s total passenger revenues in the first half of 2011 as compared to approximately 34.7% in the first half of 2010, increased 47.0% to US$725.1 million in the first half of 2011 from US$493.2 million in the first half of 2010. Domestic passenger traffic, as measured in revenue per kilometers (which we refer to as “RPKs”) increased 23.7%, while domestic passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 23.3%, resulting in an increase in load factor from 76.4% in the first half of 2010 to 76.6% in the first half of 2011. Domestic passenger yield increased 18.8% from US¢10.6 in the first half of 2010 to US¢12.6 in the first half of 2011, mainly due to stronger demand environment, as well as higher fuel surcharges.
 
International passenger revenues, which accounted for approximately 61.3% of total passenger revenues in the first half of 2011 as compared to approximately 65.3% in the first half of 2010, increased 23.9% to US$1,150.1 million in the first half of 2011 from US$928.4 million in the first half of 2010. International passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs) increased 18.6%, while passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 11.6% in the first half of 2011, resulting in an improvement in load factor from 75.9% in the first half of 2010 to 80.6% in the first half of 2011. Total international passenger yield (based on RPKs) increased 4.4% to US¢9.0 in the first half of 2011 from US¢8.6 in the first half of 2010, driven by stronger demand environment, as well as higher fuel surcharges.
 
Cargo revenues increased 28.0%, to US$752.9 million in the first half of 2011 from US$587.9 million in the first half of 2010, mainly driven by a 14.0% increase in yields (US¢43.2 in the first half of 2011 from US¢37.9 in the first half of 2010), reflecting growth in global cargo markets and higher fuel surcharges, as well as improved revenue management practices and itinerary optimization, which was coupled with a 12.3% increase in traffic. Capacity increased 14.7% during the first half of 2011 and as a consequence, load factors decreased from 69.9% in the first half of 2010 to 68.4% in the first half of 2011. Revenues per ATK also increased 11.6% as compared to the first half of 2010.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales in the first half of 2011 totaled US$1,973.6 million, representing a 40.4% increase as compared to cost of sales of US$1,405.2 million in the first half of 2010. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales increased from 69.9% in the first half of 2010 to 75.1% in the first half of 2011, as a result of higher fuel prices and higher costs related to the incorporation of AIRES’ fleet.
 
The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which totaled US$820.8 million in the first half of 2011, a 49.4% increase as compared to aircraft fuel expenses of US$549.1 million in the first half of 2010. The higher aircraft fuel costs was mainly driven by a 39.2% increase in prices, coupled with a 13.3% increase in consumption. In addition, the Company recognized a US$42.7 million fuel hedge gain, compared to a US$1.3 million fuel hedge loss in the first half of 2010.
 
Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 49.2%, from US$59.5 million in the first half of 2010 to US$88.8 million in the first half of 2011, due to a larger fleet, including the incorporation of AIRES’ fleet.
 
Aircraft rental expenses increased by 82.4% from US$47.5 to US$86.6 mainly due to the incorporation of two leased Airbus A320s in September 2010, one leased Airbus A320 in January 2011 and three leased Boeing 767-300F freighters in November 2010, December 2010 and January 2011. Additionally, this increase considered the incorporation of AIRES’ fleet, consisting of nine Boeing 737-700s, 11 Dash 8-200s and four Dash 8-Q400s. Wages and benefits expenses increased were driven by higher average headcount, commensurate with LAN’s operational expansion, including the integration of AIRES, and, to a lesser extent, the impact of the appreciation of Latin American currencies.
 
Passenger service expenses totaled US$67.9 million in the first half of 2011 compared to US$51.3 million in the first half of 2010. This represented a 32.2% increase that was driven by a 32.9% increase in the number of passengers transported, as well as higher compensation paid to passengers during this period.
 
As a result of the above, gross margin increased 8.3% from US$604.4 million in the first half of 2010 to US$654.4 million in the first half of 2011.
 
Other operating income increased by 16% to US$68.3 million in the first half of 2011 from US$58.80 million in the first half of 2010, mainly driven by an increase in tours and travel services, as well as an increase in aircraft leases to third parties and duty-free sales that were partially offset by lower sales in the logistics and courier business due to the divesture of Blue Express on April 2011. Interest income increased from US$5.1 million in the first half of 2010 to US$8.6 million in the first half of 2011, due to a slight recovery of average interest rates, partially offset by a lower average cash balance during the period.
 
Distribution costs increased 26.5% from US$178.8 million in the first half of 2010 to US$226.1 million in the first half of 2011. This increase was caused by higher overall commissions to agents (related to both passenger and cargo sales), which increased by 23.5% to US$98.2 million in the first half of 2011 from US$79.5 million in the first half of 2010, and by a 30.8% increase in traffic revenues (for both passenger and cargo revenues). This increase was partially offset by a 0.2% reduction in the average commission paid to agents, which was related primarily to a decrease in the commission rate paid to agents in the passenger business.
 
Administrative expenses increased 29.6% from US$146.1 million in the first half of 2010 to US$189.3 million in the first half of 2011 due to the higher wages of administrative personnel and higher asset (non aircraft) depreciation, as a result of additions in 2010 and the first half of 2011.
 
Other operating expenses increased 18.6% from US$82.8million in the first half of 2010 to US$98.2 million in the first half of 2011 as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses and costs related to tours and travel services.
 
 
-53-

 

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) decreased 10.6% to US$70.2million in the first half of 2011 from US$78.5 million in the first half of 2010 due to the fact that higher average long-term debt related to fleet financing was offset by the recognition of interest related to the financing of pre-delivery payments (which we refer to as “PDPs”), in line with the accounting policy regarding these payments.
 
Exchange rate differences decreased from an expense of US$2.4 million in the first half of 2010 to expense gain of US$8.1 million in the first half of 2011 as a result of foreign exchange variations during the period.
 
Income tax expenses decreased by 22.6%, amounting to US$23.3 million in the first half of 2011 as compared to US$30.1million in the first half of 2010. This decrease was primarily the result of a 26.6% decrease in pre-tax income, partially offset by a 0.3% increase in the average tax rate (currently 17.1%) in the first half of 2011.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Capital Expenditures
 
Cash capital expenditures were US$693.9 million as of June 30, 2011, while as of June 30, 2010 cash capital expenditures were US$332.1 million. The increase in capital expenditures as of June 30, 2011 was due to the acquisition of a higher number of aircraft during this period.
 
LAN’s capital expenditures for June 30, 2011 were mainly composed of:
 
 
·
cash contributions for PDPs related to aircraft with deliveries in 2011, 2012 and 2013;
 
 
·
the acquisition of seven Airbus A320 passenger aircraft; and
 
 
·
the acquisition of aircraft spare parts and spare engines.
 
The difference between net cash used in investing activities and cash capital expenditures as of June 30, 2011 relates mainly to the disposal of five Airbus A-318 and the effect of the sale and leaseback of three Airbus A-320 during the same period.
 
Current Liquidity
 
LAN continues to maintain a solid financial position, with adequate liquidity and a solid financial structure, as reflected in the Company’s BBB Investment Grade international credit rating from Fitch Ratings. LAN is one of the few airlines in the world with an Investment Grade rating.
 
At the end of first half of 2011, LAN reported US$375.3 million in cash and marketable securities representing 7.3% of revenues for the last twelve months. As of June 30, 2011, LAN reported deposits with aircraft manufacturers (PDPs) of US$973.0 million, US$500.9 million of which were funded directly by LAN. During the the first half of 2011, LAN also secured committed credit lines for US$160 million.
 
LAN’s cash and cash equivalents including investment funds and domestic and foreign bonds are mainly held in U.S. dollars or US dollar-based instruments. A fraction (around 15%) of LAN’s cash position is held in currencies other than US dollars to fulfill short-term obligations denominated in local currencies.
 
Sources and Uses
 
During the first half of 2011, LAN’s main uses of cash were US$355.3 million for loan payments, US$135.5 million for dividend payments and US$61.7 million for interest payments. In the first half of 2010, LAN’s main uses of cash were US$250.2 million for loan payments, US$80.9 million for dividend payments and US$64.0 million for interest payments.

Financial Obligations and Commitments
 
During the the first half of 2011, LAN also secured committed credit lines for US$160 million. Additionally, LAN has practically no short-term debt, while its long-term debt is mainly related to aircraft financing and has 12 to 15 year repayment profiles with competitive interest rates. LAN has limited exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as approximately 80% of revenues and 54% of costs are US dollar denominated.
 
LAN has contractual obligations and commitments primarily related to the payment of debt, lease arrangements and for the future incorporation of aircraft to LAN’s fleet. During the first half of 2011, LAN has financed the acquisition of three Airbus 319-100 passenger aircraft and four Airbus 320-200 passenger aircraft through bank loans with the support of guarantees issued by the export credit agencies with repayment profiles of 12 years. The export credit agencies guarantee support for 80% of the net purchase price and are secured with a first priority mortgage on the aircraft in favor of a security trustee on behalf of the export credit agencies. The documentation for each loan follows standard market forms for this type of financing, including standard events of default. We have financed the remaining 20% of the net purchase price with LAN’s own funds.
 
LAN’s total debt (including capital leases) as of June 30, 2011, was US$3,563.0 million compared to US$3,152.1 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in long-term debt during the first half of 2011 primarily relates to the incorporation of debt-financed fixed assets and the financing of 38 aircraft PDPs. LAN has minimum lease payment obligations primarily associated with LAN’s aircraft leases. As of June 30, 2011, LAN had 45 aircraft under operating leases (24 of which correspond to the recently acquired AIRES fleet). The amount of lease obligations as of June 30, 2011 includes US$24 million related to the recently-incorporated AIRES’ fleet. The average interest rate of LAN’s long-term debt was 5.0% as of June 30, 2011. Of the total debt amount, 94.0% accrues interest at a fixed rate (either through a stated fixed interest rate or through LAN’s use of interest rate swap agreements) or is subject to interest rate caps. As of June 30, 2011, LAN also had purchase obligations for:
 
 
·
15 Airbus A319, 57 Airbus A320 and 10 Airbus A321;
 
 
·
nine Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft;
 
 
·
two Boeing 777-200 freighter aircraft; and
 
 
·
26 Boeing 787 passenger aircraft.
 
The purchase obligations amount to a combined total of US$9,350 million, with delivery between 2011 and 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of June 30, 2011 LAN had aircraft and aircraft engines under operating leases. These operating leases provide LAN with great flexibility to adjust to any demand volatility that may affect the airline industry and therefore LAN considers such arrangements to be of great value.
 
Under the aforementioned operating leases, LAN is responsible for all maintenance, insurance and other costs associated with operating these aircraft. LAN has not made any residual value or similar guarantees to LAN’s lessors. There are certain guarantees and indemnities to other unrelated parties that are not reflected on LAN’s balance sheet, but LAN believes that these will not have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
 
LAN operates 17 aircraft under a financing structure called Japanese Operating Lease (which we refer to as “JOL”). This method of financing involves the creation of a special purpose entity that acquires aircraft with bank and third party financing. Under IFRS, these aircraft are shown in the consolidated statement of financial position as part of “Property, plant and equipment” and the corresponding debt is shown as a liability.

Domestic
 
Domestic passenger revenue increased by 5.6% to R$2,983.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$2,824.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. This was due to a 22.1% increase in RPKs, offset by a 13.5% decrease in the average amount paid per passenger to fly one kilometer (which we refer to as “yield”) domestically. The yield reduction in the domestic market reflects dilution caused by: (i) an increase in the number of passengers using reward tickets, in respect of which the revenue from tickets sold by TAM L.A. to TAM’s subsidiary, Multiplus, is eliminated for accounting purposes (but domestic ASK and RPK are recorded, diluting domestic yield and revenue per ASK, or the quotient of net revenue divided by the number of available seat kilometers); and (ii) an increase in the volume of leisure passengers flying during off-peak hours and buying tickets in advance. TAM’s supply in domestic ASKs rose 14.2%, increasing the domestic load factor by 4.6 percentage points to 69.8%. The combination of these factors caused TAM’s domestic RASK to decrease by 6.3% to R$12.0 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.
 
International
 
International passenger revenue increased 11.6% to R$1,727.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$1,547.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. This was due to an 18.7% increase in international RPKs, mainly due to the addition of new routes, including:  Rio de Janeiro – Frankfurt; Rio de Janeiro – London; Belo Horizonte – Miami; Brasília – Miami; and São Paulo – Bogota. In reals terms, TAM’s international yield decreased by 6.0% to 14.4 centavos in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 15.4 centavos in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. Expressed in US dollars, TAM’s international yield increased by 3.7% to 8.8 cents in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 8.5 cents in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in international yield in reals was a result of the 9.4% appreciation of the average value of the real in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to the corresponding period in 2010, since TAM sets the prices in US dollars. An increase in international passenger demand, combined with a 12.7% increase in supply, raised TAM’s load factor rates by 4.1 percentage points to 80.5% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. As a result, TAM’s international RASK in US dollars rose 9.2%, while international RASK in reals decreased 1.0%.
 
Cargo
 
Revenues from TAM’s cargo business increased by 2.1% to R$552.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$540.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. This was a result of a 6.3% increase in TAM’s domestic cargo business. This increase was offset by a 1.4% reduction in TAM’s international cargo business, which was affected by a 9.4% appreciation of the average value of the real in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to the corresponding period in 2010.

Other
 
Other revenue increased by 107.9% to R$1,083.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$521.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to the creation of Multiplus in February 2010, which generated R$492.9 million in revenue from the redemption of points, and a 106.1% increase in other revenues, including expired tickets.
 
Sales taxes and other deductions
 
Sales taxes and other deductions increased by 14.1% to R$250.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$219.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 due to the increase in TAM’s domestic passenger revenue and other revenues.
 
Revenue
 
TAM’s revenue increased by 16.9% to R$6,095.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$5,215.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, due to the increase in passenger, cargo and other revenues. Total RASK increased by 2.9% to R$15.8 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, as a result of the 4.3 percentage points increase in total load factor, combined with the decrease in yields. TAM’s domestic RASK decreased 6.3% to R$12.0 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 from R$12.8 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. TAM’s international RASK in US dollars increased by 9.2%, from R$6.5 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 to R$7.1 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, while TAM’s international RASK in reals decreased 1.0%.
 
Operating expenses
 
TAM’s operating expenses increased by 16.2% to R$5,969.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$5,137.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, as described below. TAM’s operating expenses per ASK, or the quotient of total operating expenses (excluding the fair value of fuel derivatives) divided by the number of available seat kilometers (which we refer to as “CASK”), increased 2.3% to R$15.5, and CASK excluding fuel expenses decreased 3.6% to 9.9 centavos.

Personnel expenses increased by 25.3% to R$1,344.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$1,073 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to the 11.5% increase in the number of employees in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 and the 8.75% increase in wages. The increase in the number of employees is related to the growth of TAM’s operations, which ASKs grew 13.6% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. TAM primarily increased the number of ground airport employees and flight crew, which it believes supports TAM’s high levels of customer service and customer satisfaction. Personnel expenses per ASK increased by 10.3%.
 
Fuel
 
Fuel expenses increased by 30.5% to R$2,142.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$1,641.8 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, due to a 13.9% increase in the average fuel price per liter, from a 25.5% increase in the average price of fuel related to the increase in the average price per barrel of West Texas Intermediate (which we refer to as “WTI”) oil, which was on average US$78.5 per barrel in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 and US$98.5 per barrel in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The volume of fuel consumed grew by 14.5% due to an increase of 10.5% in the number of flown hours and a 4.3 percentage point increase in total load factor, which increased carried weight. The increase was partially offset by: (i) an increase of 1.5% in the stage length (which is the average distance flown, per flight), (ii) the appreciation of the real by 9.4% in the same period, and (iii) the impact of a PIS and COFINS credit. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, TAM L.A. recognized a change in estimated PIS and COFINS credits of at least R$173 million, with R$143 million of that being recorded as a reduction in fuel expenses (and the remaining R$30 million being recorded as financial income) representing the minimum initial estimate of the revised credit. Fuel expenses per ASK increased by 14.9%.

Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 2.8% to R$356.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$346.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, mainly due to the addition of 10 new aircraft classified as capital leases, partially offset by the effect of the review of the useful life and the residual value of aircrafts undertaken during the fourth quarter of 2010. Depreciation and amortization expenses per ASK increased by 9.5%.
 
Maintenance and repairs (excluding personnel)
 
Maintenance and repairs (excluding personnel) expenses decreased by 3.5% to R$314.8 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$326.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to the appreciation of the real by 9.4% and an increase of 1.5% in the stage length, and was partially offset by a 13 aircraft increase in TAM’s fleet (excluding ATR-42) and a 10.5% increase in total flown hours. Maintenance and repairs (excluding personnel) expenses per ASK decreased by 15.1%.
 
Aircraft insurance
 
Aircraft insurance expenses decreased by 6.5% to R$24.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$26.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to improved contractual conditions in 2011 compared to 2010 and the appreciation of the real by 9.4%. This reduction was partially offset by a 13 aircraft increase in TAM’s fleet (excluding ATR-42 aircraft), the growth of 18.1% in the number of passengers transported and an increase of 10.7% in the number of landings. Aircraft insurance expenses per ASK decreased by 17.7%.
 
Takeoff, landing and navigation aid charges
 
Takeoff, landing and navigation aid charges increased by 11.4% to R$319.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$286.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a 10.7% increase in the number of landings and a 12.3% increase in kilometers flown in the period, along with TAM’s expansion in international markets, where prices are higher. The increase was partially offset by the appreciation of the real by 9.4%, which impacted international flight tariffs. Take-off, landing and navigation aid charges per ASK decreased by 1.9%.
 
Leasing of aircraft, engine and equipment under operating leases
 
Leasing of aircraft, engine and equipment expenses under operating leases decreased by 12.4% to R$210.8 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$240.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, mainly due to the appreciation of the real by 9.4%. This decrease was partially offset by three additional aircraft classified as operational leases (excluding the ATR-42). Leasing of aircraft, engine and equipment expenses under operating leases per ASK decreased by 22.9%.
 
Third party services
 
Third party services expenses increased by 6.0% to R$411.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$388.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, mainly due to an: (i) an increase in costs related to TAM’s Global Distribution System, an electronic passenger distribution system, due to the 18.1% increase in the volume of passengers transported and (ii) an increase in handling costs related to the increase of TAM’s operation, mostly in the international market. Third party services expenses per ASK decreased by 6.7%.

Marketing and related expenses
 
Marketing and related expenses increased by 9.0% to R$477.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$438.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. However, when compared to TAM’s revenues, marketing and related expenses proportionately decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Marketing and related expenses represented 7.5% of gross revenues in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 8.1% in 2010. This proportional reduction was primarily due to TAM’s new assisted sales method for international flights implemented in October 2010. Previously, TAM was responsible for travel agent compensation, but under TAM’s new assisted sales method, travel agent fees for assisted sales channels in Brazil are now the responsibility of, and paid directly by, passengers at the time of purchase. Marketing and related expenses per ASK decreased by 4.1%.
 
Other
 
Other expenses decreased by 0.4% to R$367.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$369.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, principally due to the impact of the 9.4% appreciation of the real, which impacted international market expenses. This decrease was partially offset by increased on-board service costs resulting from the 18.1% increase in the number of passengers in the period. Other expenses includes general provisions, items related to on-board services, passenger-related expenses (including food and lodging expenses related to cancelled flights), interrupted flight expenses, crew-related expenses and other expenses. Other expenses per ASK decreased by 12.4%.
 
Movements in fair value of fuel derivatives
 
Movements in fair value of fuel derivatives was a gain of R$42.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to a loss of R$46.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.
 
Net finance income / (costs)
 
TAM’s net finance income was R$257.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to a cost of R$338.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, principally due to the effect of exchange variations.
 
Interest income from financial investments increased 26.6% to R$78.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$62.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, principally as a result of an increase in the cash interest rate in Brazil (CDI), which rose from an average of 9.0% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 to 11.5% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.
 
Exchange variation was a gain of R$388.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to a loss of R$179.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. This increase principally relates to the strengthening of the Brazilian real against the US dollar (R$1.80 per US dollar at June 30, 2010 and R$1.56 per US dollar at June 30, 2011). This increase mainly impacted the capital leases on TAM’s balance sheet that are denominated in US dollars.
 
Interest expenses increased 11.3% to R$230.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$207.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, principally due to interest on capital leases and interest in connection with issued debentures, bonds and other loans.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, TAM L.A. recognized a change in estimated PIS and COFINS credits of at least R$173 million, with R$30 million being recorded as financial income and R$143 million being recorded as a reduction in fuel expenses, as described above.

Income tax and social contribution
 
Income tax and social contribution was R$196.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to a tax credit of R$68.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. TAM’s effective rate of income tax and social contribution was 46.0% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 22.4% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to: (i) the net loss recorded in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to a profit in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, and (ii) the net loss recorded by TAM’s subsidiaries, for which tax credits are not recorded.
 
Profit /(loss) after tax (all continuing operations)
 
As a result of the factors discussed above, TAM recorded a profit after tax (all continuing operations) of R$229.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to a loss after tax (all continuing operations) of R$237.8 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
TAM believes that its liquidity position exceeds the minimum required to sustain its business adequately and TAM’s working capital is sufficient for its present requirements. TAM also believes that additional sources of liquidity are available to it, if they are needed, through bank facilities or through TAM’s access to debt markets.
 
TAM increased its current liquidity ratio by 8.2 percentage points between December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, primarily due to the recognition of credits from the Programa de Integração Social (Social Integration Program) and the Contribuição para o Financiamento de Seguridade Social (Contribution for the Financing of Social Security), which impacted the taxes recoverable line item on TAM’s balance sheet. TAM’s liquidity ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
 
In order to manage its liquidity, TAM takes into account its cash and financial investments, accounts receivable and short-term borrowings. TAM’s accounts receivable are affected by the timing of TAM’s receipt of credit card revenues and travel agency invoicing. Customers purchasing tickets using credit cards have the option to pay the ticket price in installments, typically over a 70-day period. TAM does not take credit risk on customers’ credit card receivables because, pursuant to the terms of TAM’s agreements with the credit card companies, the credit card companies are required to pay TAM on each of the customer’s payment dates, regardless of whether the customer paid the credit card company. Based on the current terms and conditions of TAM’s arrangements with the credit card companies, TAM’s accounts receivable are not materially impacted by the timing of receipt of credit card revenues and of invoicing tourist agencies. At June 30, 2011, TAM had R$892.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, R$1,250.4 million in financial investments and R$1,725.7 million in accounts receivable.
 
At June 30, 2011, TAM’s current borrowings totaled R$655.3 million. TAM’s current borrowings include the portion of its long-term borrowings (meaning borrowings that mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date). Of TAM’s borrowings, 98.5% is denominated in foreign currencies, including TAM’s Import Financing (which we refer to as “FINIMP”) and financing of pre-delivery payments.
 
At June 30, 2011 TAM’s Industrial Funding (FINEM) agreements were denominated in reals and represented 1.1% of TAM’s total borrowings. At June 30, 2011, TAM’s FINIMP agreements represented 83.4% of its borrowings. They are denominated in US dollars and bear interest at a fixed spread above LIBOR on an annual basis only.
 
Financial instrument gains and losses – WTI
 
TAM ended the first half of 2011 with a gain on financial instruments of R$42.9 million due to the mark to market of TAM’s fuel derivatives, where WTI prices increased from US$91.4 per barrel at December 31, 2010 to US$94.5 per barrel at June 30, 2011.

Cash flow from operating activities
 
Net cash generated from TAM’s operating activities was R$26.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to a cash flow of R$24.3 million for the corresponding period in 2010.
 
Cash flow from investing activities
 
TAM invested R$379.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to R$165.8 million in the corresponding period in 2010. The cash invested in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 was primarily used for the pre-delivery payments for aircraft (R$155.0 million) and for a capital reduction in Multiplus (R$161.0 million).
 
Cash flow from financing activities
 
Net cash generated in financing was R$233.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30 2011, compared to R$47.6 million generated in the corresponding period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to TAM’s issuance of senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of US$500 million (R$777.2 million) further described under “—Indebtedness—Issuance of Senior Notes” below.
 
Sources of financing
 
TAM typically finances its aircraft through lease transactions. Although TAM believes that debt and/or operating/finance leasing will be available for future aircraft to be delivered, TAM cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain financing on terms that are attractive to it, if at all. To the extent that TAM cannot secure financing, TAM may be required to modify its aircraft acquisition plans or incur higher financing costs. TAM also expects to meet its operating obligations as they become due through its available cash and internally generated funds, supplemented as necessary by short-term credit lines, and when required, by TAM’s access to the debt markets.
 
Indebtedness
 
At June 30, 2011, TAM’s total liabilities were R$12,364.2 million, consisting of R$4,679.1 million in current liabilities (of which R$1,623.7 million was deferred income, R$12.8 million was derivative financial instruments, R$1,506.1 million was financial liabilities, and R$1,536.5 million was all other current liabilities items) and R$7,685.1 million in non-current liabilities (of which R$6,375.2 million was financial liabilities, R$231.0 million from provisions, R$53.2 million was deferred income, R$8.3 million was derivative financial instruments, and R$1,017.4 million was all other non-current liabilities items).
 
Issuance of senior notes
 
On June 3, 2011, TAM’s subsidiary, TAM Capital 3 Inc., issued US$500 million 8.375% senior notes due 2021 (which we refer to as the “2021 notes”). The 2021 notes, which are unconditionally guaranteed by TAM and TAM L.A., were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration with the CVM and the SEC.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of LAN and TAM, giving effect to the proposed combination as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2011. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of LAN and TAM, giving effect to the proposed combination as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2011 or January 1, 2010, respectively the beginning of the earliest period presented.
 
The historical consolidated financial statements of TAM have been translated into US dollars and adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications in order to conform to LAN’s financial statement presentation.
 
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information was prepared using the purchase method of accounting with LAN treated as the acquirer of TAM. Accordingly, consideration given by LAN to complete the proposed combination will be allocated to assets and liabilities of TAM based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of completion of the proposed combination. As of the date of this offer to exchange/prospectus, LAN has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of TAM´s assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocations of purchase price, nor has it identified all adjustments necessary to conform TAM’s accounting policies to LAN’s accounting policies. A final determination of the fair value of TAM’s assets and liabilities will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of TAM that exist as of the date of completion of the proposed combination and, therefore, cannot be made prior to the completion of the transaction. Additionally, the value of the consideration to be given by LAN to complete the proposed combination will be determined based on the trading price of the LAN common shares at the time of the completion of the proposed combination. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary and are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The preliminary pro forma purchase price adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information presented below. LAN estimated the fair value of TAM’s assets and liabilities based on discussions with TAM’s management, preliminary valuation studies, due diligence and information presented in public filings. Until the proposed combination is completed, both companies are limited in their ability to share information. Upon completion of the proposed combination, final valuations will be performed. Increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts will result in adjustments to the balance sheet and/or statements of income. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes.
 
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information has been developed from and should be read in conjunction with (1) the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of LAN and TAM presented within this offer to exchange/prospectus for the period ended June 30, 2011 and (2) the audited consolidated financial statements of LAN and TAM contained in their respective Annual Reports on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, which are incorporated by reference into this offer to exchange/prospectus.
 
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of LAN would have been had the proposed combination occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.
 
LAN expects to incur significant costs associated with integrating the operations of LAN and TAM. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies or revenue synergies expected to result from the proposed combination. In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information does not include one-time costs directly attributable to the transaction, employee retention costs or professional fees incurred by TAM or LAN pursuant to provisions contained in the transaction agreements, as those costs are not considered part of the purchase price.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 3 “Business Combinations” (revised 2008) using the purchase method of accounting, with LAN considered the acquirer of TAM.
 
The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information presents the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of LAN and TAM, after giving effect to the proposed combination and adjustments described in these notes, and are intended to reflect the impact of the proposed combination on LAN’s consolidated financial statements. The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from future cost savings due to operating efficiencies or revenue synergies expected to result from the proposed combination.
 
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet gives effect to the proposed combination as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2011 and includes estimated pro forma adjustments for the preliminary valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These adjustments are subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income give effect to the proposed combination as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2010, the beginning of the earliest period presented.
 
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet has been adjusted to reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to identifiable net assets acquired and the excess purchase price to goodwill. The purchase price allocation in these Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information is based upon a purchase price of approximately $4.011 billion. This amount was derived as described below in accordance with the transaction agreements, based on the outstanding shares of TAM common and preferred stock at June 30, 2011, the exchange ratio of 0.9 LAN common shares for each TAM common and preferred share and a price per LAN common share of $28.53, which represents the closing price of LAN shares of common stock on June 30, 2011. The actual number of LAN common shares issued in the merger will be based upon the actual number of TAM shares outstanding when the exchange offer and the mergers are completed, the number of TAM shareholders that accept the offer to exchange, and the valuation of those shares will be based on the trading price of LAN’s common stock when the exchange offer and the mergers are completed.
 
The preliminary purchase price is calculated as follows:
 
Assumed outstanding shares of TAM common and preferred stock to be exchanged
    156,206,781  
Exchange ratio
    0.9  
Assumed LAN common shares to be issued
    140,586,103  
Price per share
  $ 28.5336  
Fair value of LAN shares issued
  ThUS$ 4,011,426  
Total estimated purchase price
  ThUS$ 4,011,426  

 
-72-

 

The table below represents a preliminary allocation of the total consideration to TAM’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on LAN management’s preliminary estimate of their respective fair values as of June 30, 2011:

   
ThUS$
 
         
Cash and cash equivalents
    571,799  
Other financial assets
    821,539  
Trade and other accounts receivable
    1,151,158  
Other current assets
    296,114  
Property, plant and equipment
    4,826,625  
Goodwill
    2,422,266  
Identified intangibles
    1,424,045  
Other noncurrent assets
    931,862  
Financial liabilities, including current portion
    (5,077,589 )
Trade and other accounts payable, including non-current portion
    (1,127,499 )
Deferred income taxes liabilities
    (634,209 )
Other liabilities assumed, including deferred revenue
    (1,553,535 )
Sub-Total
    4,052,576  
Less: Non-controlling interest
    (41,150 )
Total estimated purchase price
    4,011,426  
 
Upon completion of the fair value assessment after the proposed combination, it is anticipated that the ultimate purchase price allocation will differ from the preliminary assessment outlined above. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments
 
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income do not include any material non-recurring charges that will arise in subsequent periods as a result of the proposed combination. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect the following adjustments:
 
 
a)
Inventories and property, plant and equipment: a $3.5 million ($2.4 million in Inventories and $1.1 million in Property, plant and equipment) reduction to reflect the fair value of TAM´s owned inventories. As a result of this adjustment, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income reflect a decrease in cost of consumed inventories of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
b)
Deferred revenue: a reduction of $25.1 million to reflect the estimate of tickets sold and not yet used that will expire (breakage), and a reduction of $56.2 million related to the elimination of deferred gains on leaseback operations recorded by TAM. As a result of this adjustment, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income reflect a decrease in passenger sales of $22.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 regarding the effect of “breakage” of unused tickets. Furthermore, other income is decreased $5.366 million and financial income by $5.234 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and other income by $9.746 million and financial income by $9.431 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 for gains on leaseback operations.
 
 
c)
Intangible assets: An increase of $1,051.8 million associated with adjustments to record the fair value of TAM’s identifiable intangible assets, including indefinite-lived intangible assets such as take-off and landing slots, and the TAM brand. These intangibles are not amortized and instead are evaluated for impairment at least annually or whenever circumstances indicate that they may be impaired.
 
 
d)
Goodwill: to record the goodwill resulting from the proposed combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed for impairment at least annually or more frequently whenever events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.
 
 
e)
Financial liabilities: An increase of $12.6 million to long-term debt to reflect its fair value. The difference between the fair value and the face amount of each borrowing is amortized as a decrease in financial cost over the remaining term of the borrowings based on the maturity dates. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income reflect lower financial cost of $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
f)
Exchange rate: TAM´s functional and presentation currency under IFRS is the Brazilian real. Solely for the purpose of preparing these pro forma financial statements, TAM´s financial statements have been translated into US dollars as follows:
 
 
a.
balance sheet at June 30, 2011 at the closing exchange rate;
 
 
b.
income statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 at the average exchange rate for each quarter; and
 
 
c.
income statement for the year ended December 31, 2010 using the average exchange rate for each quarter.
 
 
g)
Property, plant and equipment (Fleet, including finance leases): a decrease of $991.1 million to reflect the fair value of TAM´s aircraft recorded as property, plant and equipment. As a result of this adjustment and adjustments related to changes in the method of depreciation of aircraft components, major maintenance associated with those components, useful lives and residual values, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income reflect an increase in cost of sales of $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and an increase of $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
h)
Property, plant and equipment (Land and buildings): an increase of $13.3 million to reflect the fair value of TAM´s land and buildings. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income reflect a decrease in depreciation of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
-74-

 

 
i)
Aircraft operating leases: an increase of $218.7 million related to provisions for major maintenance on aircraft under operating leases with Time & Materials maintenance contracts, in order to account for these maintenance costs in a manner consistent with that used by LAN. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income reflect an increase in cost of sales of $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and a decrease of $34 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
j)
Rotable parts: a decrease of $18.8 million to reflect the fair value of TAM´s rotable parts. As a result of this adjustment and of a change in the estimated useful lives and residual values, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income reflect a decrease in cost of sales of $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and a decrease of $22.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
k)
Maintenance provisions: a decrease of $142.3 million to record maintenance costs relating to aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment in a manner consistent with that applied in the LAN financial statements. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income reflect a decrease in cost of sales of $56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and a decrease of $24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
l)
Pre-delivery payments: a decrease of $52.7 million to reflect the fair value of pre-delivery payments made by TAM on the future purchase of aircraft.
 
 
m)
Contingencies: an increase of $61.7 million to reflect the fair value of TAM´s labor, civil and tax contingencies.
 
 
n)
TAM Stockholders’ Equity: the elimination of all of TAM’s stockholders’ equity as a result of the acquisition method of accounting.
 
 
o)
LAN common stock issuance: as discussed in Note 1, an estimated 140,586,103 shares of LAN common stock will be issued to TAM stockholders at a per share price of $28.5336 totaling  $4,011.4 million.
 
 
p)
Prepaid maintenance: A decrease of $3.1 million to reflect the fair value of “Maintenance Reserve Payments” made by TAM to lessors of aircraft and engines. As a result of this adjustment, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income reflect an increase in financial income of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and an increase $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
q)
Dividends payable: Dividends payable by TAM at June 30, 2011 of $0.6 million have been reversed as this payable would represent an intercompany account in the LATAM group and hence be eliminated on consolidation.
 
 
r)
Income Taxes: Corresponds to the income tax effects of the purchase accounting adjustments.

The following table summarizes unaudited per share information for LAN and TAM on a historical basis, pro forma combined basis for LAN and equivalent pro forma combined basis for TAM. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of LAN and TAM, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on page 67. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the proposed combination had been completed as of the beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future operating results or financial position of LATAM. The historical book value per share is computed by dividing total stockholders’ equity by the number of shares (TAM common shares plus TAM preferred shares, in the case of TAM) outstanding at the end of the period. The pro forma per share earnings from continuing operations are computed by dividing the pro forma income from continuing operations available to shareholders by the pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding (TAM common shares plus TAM preferred shares, in the case of TAM). The pro forma combined book value per share is computed by dividing total pro forma stockholders’ equity by the pro forma number of shares outstanding at the end of the period. TAM equivalent pro forma combined per share amounts are calculated by multiplying LAN pro forma combined per share amounts by 0.90, which is the exchange ratio per TAM share and TAM ADS payable pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers. The historical per share information of TAM was derived from its historical annual financial statements.

From time to time, the board of directors of each of LAN and TAM regularly review and evaluate the state of the airline industry and potential strategic alternatives with their senior management teams. Given the global trend towards airline consolidation over the last ten years, these potential strategic alternatives included possible business combinations in recent years.
 
Since 2004, Mr. Enrique Cueto Plaza, the Chief Executive Officer of LAN and a shareholder of the LAN controlling shareholders, Mr. Ignacio Cueto Plaza, the President and Chief Operating Officer of LAN and a shareholder of the LAN controlling shareholders, Mrs. Maria Cláudia Oliveira Amaro, the Chairman of TAM’s board of directors and a shareholder of TEP, and Mr. Maurício Rolim Amaro, the Vice-Chairman of TAM’s board of directors and a shareholder of TAM’s controlling shareholder at the time, have been discussing and considering the impacts of the global airline industry consolidation trend on Latin American airlines. As a result of these discussions, it was agreed that some sort of alliance between and/or investments among LAN, TAM and/or their controlling shareholders might be mutually beneficial to the two companies. In order to facilitate further discussions and investigations of these possibilities, LAN and TAM entered into a confidentiality agreement and began to share some general information about their businesses and operations.
 
Between 2004 and early 2010, LAN, TAM and their controlling shareholders continued to discuss and explore the possibility of such alliances and/or investments. During this period, LAN and TEP executed a number of confidentiality agreements, including the most recent confidentiality agreement that was entered into on October 14, 2009. The parties examined and reviewed various aspects of their businesses to assess the extent to which they were potentially complementary or incompatible. Despite these ongoing meetings and discussions, the parties did not reach any agreement with respect to any alliance or investment and the meetings and discussions broke off in early 2010.
 
On June 29, 2010, the board of directors of LAN authorized their senior management to continue to explore possible investments in and business combinations with other Latin American airlines.
 
On June 30, 2010, Mr. Enrique Cueto Plaza, Mr. Ignacio Cueto Plaza and Mr. Roberto Alvo Milosawlewitsch, the Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning and Corporate Development of LAN, met with Mr. Maurício Rolim Amaro and Mrs. Maria Cláudia Oliveira Amaro, on behalf of TAM, in São Paulo, Brazil. At this meeting, the parties decided to explore the possibility of a business combination between LAN and TAM. In particular, it was decided that the parties should confirm that the strategic views and plans of LAN, TAM and their controlling shareholders were consistent and attempt to reach agreements in principle on a transaction structure that would permit a business combination of LAN and TAM, the criteria and methods by which the two companies could be valued for purposes of such a business combination and a possible corporate governance structure for the combined companies. Both LAN and TAM wanted to limit the number of persons involved in the discussions until a viable transaction structure could be identified.
 
At different times during the process, LAN and TAM each engaged external advisors to assist them in exploring a possible business combination. LAN engaged Claro y Cia., a Chilean law firm (which we refer to as “Claro”), Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, a U.S. law firm (which we refer to as “S&C”) and Pinheiro Neto Advogados, a Brazilian law firm (which we refer to as “Pinheiro Neto”), while TAM engaged Turci Advogados, a Brazilian law firm (which we refer to as “Turci”), Clifford Chance US LLP, a U.S. law firm (which we refer to as “Clifford Chance”), Machado Meyer Sendacz Opice Advogados, a Brazilian law firm (which we refer to as “Machado Meyer”) and Cariola Diez Perez-Cotapos, a Chilean law firm. Additionally, LAN engaged UBS AG (which we refer to as “UBS”) and TAM engaged BTG Pactual as their respective financial advisors and LAN retained McKinsey & Co. (which we refer to as “McKinsey”) and TAM retained Bain & Co. (which we refer to as “Bain”) to advise them, respectively, with respect to the consistency of LAN’s and TAM’s strategic views and plans.
 
During July 2010, LAN, TAM and their advisors held several meetings and discussions to explore the issues identified at the June 30th meeting. Attending these meetings and discussions for LAN were Mr. Enrique Cueto Plaza, Mr. Ignacio Cueto Plaza and Mr. Roberto Alvo Milosawlewitsch, as well as Mr. José Maria Eyzaguirre, a partner from Claro. Mr. Maurício Rolim Amaro, Mrs. Maria Cláudia Oliveira Amaro, Mr. Marco Antonio Bologna, the Chief Executive Officer of TAM attended these meetings for TAM, as well as Mrs. Flávia Turci, a partner from Turci. While these meetings were being held, each of LAN and TAM sought separate advice from their U.S., Chilean and Brazilian legal counsel. There were also discussions between UBS and BTG Pactual with respect to valuation criteria and methodologies and valuation ranges for the possible business combination.

 
-87-

 

On August 3, 2010, the participants in the meetings and discussions described above held another meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At this meeting LAN and TAM agreed on a corporate governance model for the proposed business combination of the two companies. On August 4 and August 5, 2010, UBS and BTG Pactual presented the valuation criteria, methodologies and valuation ranges they each had developed to determine the economics of the proposed business combination. LAN and TAM agreed to the presented valuation criteria and methodologies (but not the valuation ranges) and agreed that the parties would begin negotiating the Memorandum of Understanding on August 9, 2010.
 
On August 13, 2010, LAN engaged J.P. Morgan Securities to replace UBS as LAN’s financial advisor.
 
From August 9, 2010 through August 12, 2010, representatives of LAN, TAM, Claro, S&C, Pinheiro Neto, Turci, Clifford Chance, Machado Meyer, J.P. Morgan Securities, BTG Pactual, Bain and McKinsey met at the offices of S&C and BTG Pactual in New York to finalize the legal structure of the proposed business combination and the Memorandum of Understanding. Certain of these representatives also held meetings in New York during this period to discuss public relations activities and institutional investor relations planning. On August 12, 2010, LAN and TAM agreed on the exchange ratio for the proposed combination and finalized the Memorandum of Understanding. On August 13, 2010, the board of directors of each of LAN and TAM approved, and LAN and TAM entered into and publicly announced, the Memorandum of Understanding.
 
At meetings held between October 26, 2010 and October 29, 2010 and November 17, 2010 and November 24, 2010 at the offices of S&C and BTG Pactual in New York, New York and between December 12, 2010 and December 15, 2010 at the offices of Machado Meyer in São Paulo, Brazil, representatives of LAN, TAM and their advisors met to negotiate the definitive transaction agreements and shareholders agreements for the proposed business combination. Thereafter, these negotiations continued by telephone and e-mail correspondence until the definitive agreements were entered into by LAN, TAM and their controlling shareholders on January 18, 2011. On that same date, LAN and TAM publicly announced that they had entered into those definitive agreements.

The board of directors of LAN unanimously approved the transaction agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the exchange offer, the mergers and the change of LAN’s name to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.,” at a meeting held on January 18, 2011. The shareholders of LAN approved the mergers and name change at a meeting held on ____, 2011. In reaching its decision to approve these matters, the LAN board of directors consulted with LAN’s management and its financial and legal advisors and considered a variety of factors, including the material factors described below. This explanation of LAN’s reasons for entering into the proposed combination and the other information presented in this section are forward-looking statements and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 18.
 
The four main reasons that the LAN board of directors considered in approving the proposed combination are as follows:
 
 
·
the proposed combination will form the leading Latin American airline group with the largest fleet of aircraft of any airline in Latin America and one that is well positioned to compete in the increasingly consolidated and competitive global airline industry;
 
 
·
the business models of LAN and TAM are complementary, which will create new opportunities for LATAM to offer better services to its customers through the harmonization of flight schedules, improved commercial distribution, launch of new flights and expansion of the combined cargo business;
 
 
·
the substantial level of synergies expected to be attained in the transaction; and
 
 
·
the common strategic and cultural approach to doing business and other similarities between LAN and TAM and their controlling shareholders.
 
Competitive Landscape in the Airline Industry
 
Since the 1970s, the airline industry worldwide has become increasingly concentrated and competitive as a result of substantial consolidation among airlines. The LAN board of directors expects that this trend will continue. In evaluating the proposed combination, the LAN board of directors considered that:
 
 
·
the global reach of LAN and TAM would be significantly expanded by bringing together LAN’s passenger network, which serves 95 destinations in 17 countries as of September 30, 2011, with TAM’s passenger network, which serves 73 destinations in 15 countries as of September 30, 2011, with minimal overlap, as compared to the next closest Latin American competitor, which serves 63 destinations as of September 30, 2011;
 
 
·
the combined fleet of LAN and TAM would consist of 295 aircraft as of September 30, 2011, which is approximately two times greater than the second largest airline in Latin America in terms of size of fleet; and
 
 
·
the combined revenue of LAN and TAM for the last 12 months ended September 30, 2011, would have been approximately $13.3 billion, making it one of the biggest airlines globally in terms of revenues for that period.
 
In light of these factors, the LAN board of directors believes that the proposed combination will form the leading Latin American airline group with the largest fleet of aircraft in Latin America. LATAM will be capable of serving all major domestic markets across Latin America and will be well positioned to compete in an increasingly consolidating global airline industry. LAN and TAM also believe that by coordinating their marketing and sales efforts, LATAM will have enhanced global presence capable of targeting and serving a larger pool of potential customers.

Complementary Aspects of the Two Companies
 
The businesses of LAN and TAM are highly complementary from both the geographic and business line perspectives.
 
Complementary Hubs
 
LAN and TAM expect to achieve substantial synergies following completion of the proposed combination by coordinating flights at their hubs. LAN currently has hubs located in Lima and Santiago airports and TAM currently has hubs located in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro airports. LAN believes that the potential to expand passenger traffic at the São Paulo, Guarulhos and Lima airports will constitute a significant competitive advantage for LATAM because customers will be able to select more destinations with better schedules and routes while at the same time benefitting from fares that reflect increased economies of scale. Similarly, the strategic locations of both the Lima and the São Paulo hubs will allow LATAM to consolidate traffic flows from the whole continent. In the case of Santiago and Lima, traffic flows will be consolidated in and out of the U.S. Pacific coast and South Pacific, while in the case of the São Paulo hub, traffic flows will be consolidated in and out of the US Atlantic coast and Europe.
 
Complementary Passenger Operations
 
With respect to LAN’s and TAM’s passenger networks, they together provide passenger service to approximately 151 cities, of which only 17 cities are served by both LAN and TAM. Currently, passenger operations only overlap in three non-stop routes (Santiago – São Paulo, Lima – São Paulo and Buenos Aires – São Paulo), which represent less than 3.2% of the combined companies’ capacity measured in available seat kilometers LAN’s and TAM’s non-stop Buenos Aires – São Paulo route only partially overlap as the companies operate in Buenos Aires from different airports. This low degree of overlap reflects that LAN’s passenger network is mainly focused on flying to cities on the South American Pacific coast and the U.S., operating routes among South American cities and serving the domestic markets of Chile, Argentina, Perú, Ecuador and Colombia, while TAM’s passenger network is more focused on serving the Brazilian domestic market and flying to cities in the U.S. Atlantic coast and Europe from Brazil.
 
By harmonizing the flight schedules of LAN’s and TAM’s complementary passenger networks, LATAM will be able to offer better services to its customers by offering passengers more connections, more travel alternatives, new destinations, extended lounge access and more extensive frequent flyer programs, which LAN expects to result in increased passenger revenues and better benefits to customers. Following the proposed combination, by coordinating LAN’s and TAM’s passenger networks, LAN expects LAN’s passengers will have improved access to the 56 destinations currently served by TAM and not LAN, and TAM’s passengers to have access to the 78 destinations currently served by LAN and not TAM.
 
LATAM’s combined size and the fact that LAN and TAM have stronger presences in different countries should improve LATAM’s ability to market and sell passenger services in each of these markets. LAN and TAM believe that by coordinating and leveraging their marketing and sales efforts, LATAM will have an enhanced presence in Latin America and will be internationally capable of targeting and serving a larger pool of potential passengers.
 
Finally, the complementary nature of the passenger networks and marketing and sales programs of LAN and TAM will enhance LATAM’s ability to launch new flights and serve new destinations.
 
Complementary Cargo Business
 
LAN currently operates 14 wide body aircraft exclusively for cargo operations, which, coupled with its regular passenger aircraft belly cargo capacity, creates a strong cargo network and gives LAN operational flexibility and the ability to provide value and options to its cargo customers. TAM, on the other hand, currently operates 29 wide body passenger aircraft, mainly in international routes out of Brazil. LAN believes that leveraging its strong cargo network and substantial experience and demonstrated success in the cargo business with TAM’s expanded long-haul footprint in Brazil, together with the forecasted growth and relevance of the Brazilian economy, and will create substantial opportunities for LATAM’s combined cargo business internationally.

 
-90-

 

These opportunities will derive from an optimization of the cargo network, efficiencies and cost savings in the cargo business through coordinated freight planning, sharing of best practices and the opportunity to deploy new routes that would not be pursued without the combination of passenger and cargo revenue.
 
Estimated Synergies of the Proposed Combination
 
LAN and TAM estimate that the combined cost savings and revenue generating synergies arising from the proposed combination could increase LATAM’s annual operating income over time up to $400 million by the fourth full year following completion of the proposed combination. Of this figure, LAN and TAM expect that approximately 40% will be generated from increased revenues from the passenger business, 30% will be generated from increased revenues from the cargo business and the remaining 30% of the potential synergies will be generated by cost savings.
 
LAN and TAM estimate that the benefits from the synergies discussed above in the fourth year following the completion of the proposed combination will be derived as follows:
 
 
·
approximately $160 million will derive from increased revenues resulting from the combination of LAN’s and TAM’s passenger networks and the addition of new flights;
 
 
·
approximately $110 million will derive from increased revenues due to new services and best practice sharing in the cargo business;
 
 
·
approximately $10 million will derive from the consolidation and best practice sharing of the frequent flyer programs of both companies;
 
 
·
approximately $50 million will derive from cost savings relating to the coordination of airport and procurement activities which will allow LATAM to leverage economies of scope and scale;
 
 
·
approximately $20 million will derive from cost savings resulting from the streamlining of corporate overhead and other functions;
 
 
·
approximately $20 million will derive from the cost savings resulting from the convergence of LAN’s and TAM’s information technology systems; and
 
 
·
approximately $30 million will derive from cost savings associated with other synergies, as noted above.
 
LAN estimates that the impact of the mitigation measures imposed by the TDLC on the synergy value should not exceed $10 million per year. For a discussion of the mitigation measured imposed by the TDLC, please see “The Exchange OfferCertain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Competition and Antitrust—Chile” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 148.
 
The estimated revenues and cost savings expected to result from the synergies described above do not include any costs of implementation, which LAN and TAM expect to be a minimum of $60 million in the first two years after the completion of the proposed combination. A relevant portion of these costs is expected to be offset by the one-time sale of excess spare engines.
 
LAN is not able to predict with any certainty the financial impact of these implementation costs, but LAN believes that they do not undermine the economic rationale for the proposed combination when considered in light of the expected synergies described above.

LAN and TAM also believe that further long-term synergies may be achievable from improved integration and best practice sharing of LAN’s domestic operations, further cooperation with other partner airlines and economies of scale in cost arising from increased bargaining power with suppliers due to the bigger size of the combined companies.
 
The estimated synergies from the proposed combination are forward-looking statements and subject to numerous risks. Actual synergies may differ significantly from expected synergies notably due to the difficulties in integrating large, complex businesses. For these reasons, as well as the factors discussed under the “Risk Factors” section of this exchange offer/prospectus beginning on page 39, LAN cannot be certain that any potential synergies, whether cost savings or revenue enhancements, will actually be achieved within the envisaged time frame or at all. LAN and TAM do not, and LATAM will not, as a matter of course, make public projections as to future sales, earnings or other results. LAN and TAM are, and LATAM will be, particularly cautious about making projections due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, the respective managements of LAN and TAM have prepared the prospective financial information set forth above in connection with this explanation of the proposed combination to present the estimated cost savings and synergies expected to result from the proposed combination. A summary of these projections is not being included in this offer to exchange/prospectus to influence your decision whether to tender your TAM shares or TAM ADRs in the exchange offer, but is being included because these projections were made available to the board of directors of LAN and TAM and their respective advisors. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that the board of directors of LAN or TAM or their respective advisors or any other person considered, or now considers, such projections to be material or to be a reliable prediction of actual future results, and these projections should not be relied upon as such. The internal projections of the respective managements of LAN and TAM, upon which these projections were based, are subjective in many respects. There can be no assurance that these projections will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than forecasted. The projections cover multiple years and such information by its nature becomes subject to greater uncertainty with each successive year. As a result, the inclusion of the projections in this offer to exchange/prospectus should not be relied on as necessarily predictive of actual future events.
 
In addition, these projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with IFRS, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the use of non-GAAP measures or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither of the independent auditors of LAN or TAM, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the projections contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, these projections. The PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores, Auditores y Compañía Limitada audit report to LAN incorporated by reference in this offer to exchange/prospectus relates to historical financial information of LAN. It does not extend to these projections and should not be read to do so. The PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes audit report to TAM incorporated by reference in this offer to exchange/prospectus relates to historical financial information of TAM. It does not extend to these projections and should not be read to do so.
 
These projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, many of which are beyond the control of LAN and TAM. LAN and TAM believe the assumptions that their respective management used as a basis for the projections were reasonable at the time they prepared these projections, given the information they had at the time. However, this information is not fact, and readers of this offer to exchange/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these projections. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause these projections not to be achieved include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the businesses of LAN and TAM (including their ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over the applicable periods), industry performance, the regulatory environment, general business and economic conditions and other factors described or referenced under the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 18. In addition, the projections also reflect assumptions that are subject to change and do not reflect revised prospects for the businesses of LAN and TAM, changes in general business or economic conditions, or any other transaction or event that has occurred or that may occur and that was not anticipated at the time the projections were prepared. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the synergies and cost savings expected to result from the proposed combination will be realized or that the estimated synergies and cost savings of LAN and TAM will not materially vary from those projected.

No one has made, or should be considered to make, any representation to any shareholder or anyone else regarding the information included in the projections set forth above. Readers of this offer to exchange/prospectus are cautioned not to rely on the projections. Some or all of the assumptions that have been made regarding, among other things, the timing of certain occurrences or impacts, may have changed since the date such projections were made. The management of LAN and TAM have not updated or otherwise revised, and do not intend to update or otherwise revise, the projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when these projections were prepared or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions on which such projections were based are shown to be in error.
 
Shared Values and Common Strategic Vision
 
The LAN board of directors believes that part of the success of the proposed combination will derive from the ability of the senior management teams of LAN and TAM to work together and effectively execute their business plans. Therefore, the key reasons for the proposed combination include the common strategic and cultural approach of LAN and TAM to doing business.
 
LAN and TAM both have benefitted from the sound business decisions and tradition of excellence of their respective senior management teams. LAN and TAM believe that the senior management teams of LAN and TAM will be able to work well together and continue the business success that LAN and TAM have enjoyed as independent companies. The senior management teams of LAN and TAM share core values of safety, operational excellence, shareholder value creation and world-class customer service. LAN and TAM believe that this provides not only a solid foundation on which to combine LAN and TAM but also reduces the integration risk.
 
In addition, LAN and TAM have each benefitted from their past commercial relationships and their respective management teams have established good working relationships. As discussed further below under “The Exchange Offer—Certain Relationships with TAM—Agreements Entered into in the Ordinary Course” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus, since 2007 LAN and TAM have entered into several commercial agreements, including regional codeshare agreements, which enabled them to expand their passenger networks to serve additional destinations in Latin America, and a participation agreement, which allowed them to extend additional frequent flier benefits to their respective customers.
 
Other Positive Factors Considered
 
In addition to the strategic rationale for the proposed combination discussed above, the LAN board of directors also considered the following factors generally supporting the proposed combination:
 
 
·
the risk that other airlines would strengthen their relative positions through combinations and effective alliance organizations, leaving LAN at a competitive disadvantage;
 
 
·
that LAN expects LATAM to have the financial strength to invest in its growth, while maintaining the flexibility and liquidity necessary to weather cyclical conditions in the airline industry;
 
 
·
the anticipated market capitalization, liquidity and capital structure of LATAM;
 
 
·
the strength and complementary aspects of TAM’s industry experience;
 
 
·
the favorable reaction to the proposed combination by both TAM and its employees;
 
 
·
the fact that the exchange ratio of 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share (or 0.90 LAN ADSs for each TAM ADS) is fixed, which the LAN board of directors believes is consistent with market practices for combinations of this type and with the strategic purpose of the proposed combination; and
 
 
-93-

 

 
·
the terms and conditions of the transaction agreements.
 
Other Factors Considered
 
The LAN board of directors also considered the following factors generally weighing against the proposed combination:
 
 
·
the challenges inherent in combining certain aspects of the business, operations and workforces of two major airlines, including the potential for (i) unforeseen difficulties integrating operations and systems and (ii) the possible distraction of management attention for an extended period of time;
 
 
·
the potential adverse effect of the proposed combination on LAN’s overall business, including its relationships with customers, employees, suppliers and regulators;
 
 
·
the risk of not capturing all the anticipated synergies and cost savings when expected or at all and the risk that other anticipated benefits may not be realized;
 
 
·
the substantial costs to be incurred in connection with the proposed combination, including the costs of integrating certain aspects of the businesses of LAN and TAM and the transaction expenses arising from the proposed combination;
 
 
·
the fact that LAN will not control the voting shares of TAM or TAM’s board of directors;
 
 
·
the risk that the terms of the transaction agreements, including provisions relating to the payment of a termination fee under specified circumstances, could have the effect of discouraging other parties that would otherwise be interested in a transaction with LAN from proposing such a transaction;
 
 
·
the risk that, despite LAN’s and TAM’s combined efforts prior to the proposed combination, LAN may lose key personnel;
 
 
·
its limited knowledge of TAM’s business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects, taking into account LAN’s due diligence review of TAM;
 
 
·
TAM has a higher ratio of debt to equity than LAN;
 
 
·
the restrictions on the conduct of LAN’s business during the period between execution of the transaction agreements and the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers, including LAN’s ability to pursue alternative transactions;
 
 
·
the projected financial results of LAN through 2011 as a stand-alone company and the ability of LAN to achieve strategic goals previously established by its board of directors;
 
 
·
the risk that regulatory authorities may not approve the proposed combination or may impose limitations on the ownership or operations of LATAM that may adversely impact the ability of LATAM to realize synergies that are projected to occur in connection with the proposed combination; and
 
 
·
the risk that the exchange offer and mergers might not be completed and the possible adverse implications for LAN’s investor relations, management credibility and employee morale under such circumstances.
 
For a further discussion of certain of these risks and uncertainties, see the “Risk Factors” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 39 and the matters described under the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 18.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the LAN board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive and includes only the material factors considered by the LAN board of directors. In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the proposed combination, the LAN board of directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination. In addition, individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The LAN board of directors did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any factor, or any particular aspect of any factor, supported or did not support its ultimate determination. The LAN board of directors based its determination on the totality of the information presented to and considered by it.
 
Opinion of LAN’s Financial Advisor
 
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated August 13, 2010, the board of directors of LAN engaged J.P. Morgan Securities to act as LAN’s financial advisor in connection with a potential combination with TAM. In connection with this engagement, the board of directors of LAN requested that J.P. Morgan Securities provide its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to LAN of the exchange ratio in the exchange offer and the mergers (which we refer to collectively as the “Transactions”) pursuant to the transaction agreements. In selecting J.P. Morgan Securities as its financial advisor, the board of directors of LAN considered, among other things, that J.P. Morgan Securities is an internationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in providing strategic advisory services with respect to transactions in Latin America and its familiarity with LAN. As a part of its investment banking business, J.P. Morgan Securities and its affiliates are continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, investments for passive and control purposes, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements, and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. For the foregoing reasons, LAN selected J.P. Morgan Securities as its financial advisor and the decision was subsequently ratified by the board of directors of LAN.
 
At the meeting of the board of directors of LAN on January 18, 2011, J.P. Morgan Securities rendered its oral opinion to the board of directors of LAN, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the exchange ratio in the Transactions pursuant to the transaction agreements was fair, from a financial point of view, to LAN. J.P. Morgan Securities’ opinion to the board of directors of LAN was one of many factors taken into consideration by the board of directors of LAN in making its determination to approve the proposed combination. No limitations were imposed by the board of directors of LAN upon J.P. Morgan Securities with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by it in rendering its opinion.
 
The full text of the written opinion of J.P. Morgan Securities, dated January 18, 2011, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex A to this offer to exchange/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. You are urged to read the opinion in its entirety. J.P. Morgan Securities provided its opinion to the board of directors of LAN in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the proposed combination and J.P. Morgan Securities’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of LAN as to how such stockholder should vote with respect to the proposed combination or any other matter. The opinion was approved by a fairness opinion committee of J.P. Morgan Securities. The summary of the opinion of J.P. Morgan Securities set forth in this offer to exchange/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.
 
In connection with rendering its opinion described above and performing the related financial analyses, J.P. Morgan Securities, among other things:
 
 
·
reviewed the final drafts, dated January 18, 2011, of the transaction agreements;
 
 
·
reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information concerning LAN and TAM and the industries in which they operate;
 
 
-95-

 

 
·
compared the proposed financial terms of the Transactions with the publicly available financial terms of certain transactions involving companies J.P. Morgan Securities deemed relevant and the consideration received for such companies;
 
 
·
compared the financial and operating performance of LAN and TAM with publicly available information concerning certain other companies J.P. Morgan Securities deemed relevant and reviewed the current and historical market prices of LAN common shares and TAM preferred shares and certain publicly traded securities of such other companies;
 
 
·
reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by or at the direction of the managements of LAN and TAM relating to their respective businesses (which we refer to as the “Projections”), as well as the estimated amount and timing of the cost savings and related expenses and certain strategic, financial and operational benefits expected to result from the Transactions (which we refer to as the “Synergies”); and
 
 
·
performed such other financial studies and analyses and considered such other information as J.P. Morgan Securities deemed appropriate for the purposes of its opinion.
 
J.P. Morgan Securities also held discussions with certain members of the management of LAN and TAM with respect to certain aspects of the Transactions, and the past and current business operations of LAN and TAM, the financial condition and future prospects and operations of LAN and TAM, the effects of the Transactions on the financial condition and future prospects of LAN, and certain other matters J.P. Morgan Securities believed necessary or appropriate to its inquiry.
 
In giving its opinion, J.P. Morgan Securities relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all information that was publicly available or was furnished to or discussed with J.P. Morgan Securities by LAN and TAM or otherwise reviewed by or for J.P. Morgan Securities, and J.P. Morgan Securities did not independently verify (nor did it assume responsibility or liability for independently verifying) any such information or its accuracy or completeness. J.P. Morgan Securities did not conduct and was not provided with any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor did J.P. Morgan Securities evaluate the solvency of LAN or TAM under any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In relying on financial analyses and forecasts provided to it or derived therefrom, including the Projections and the Synergies, J.P. Morgan Securities assumed that they were reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments by management of LAN and TAM as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of LAN and TAM to which such analyses or forecasts relate. J.P. Morgan Securities noted that LAN had instructed J.P. Morgan Securities to assume that the voting shares of Holdco I to be issued in connection with the Transactions will have only a nominal value. J.P. Morgan Securities expressed no view as to the analyses or forecasts (including the Projections and the Synergies) referred to above or the assumptions on which they were based. J.P. Morgan Securities also assumed that the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements will qualify as a non-taxable event with respect to LAN and the holders of LAN common shares and will be consummated as described in the transaction agreements and that the definitive transaction agreements would not differ in any material respect from the drafts thereof provided to J.P. Morgan Securities. J.P. Morgan Securities also assumed that the representations and warranties made by LAN and TAM in the transaction agreements and the related agreements were and will be true and correct in all respects material to its analysis. J.P. Morgan Securities noted that it is not a legal, regulatory or tax expert and that it had relied on the assessments made by advisors to LAN with respect to such issues. J.P. Morgan Securities further assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transactions will be obtained without any material adverse effect on LAN or TAM or on the contemplated benefits of the Transactions.
 
J.P. Morgan Securities’ opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to J.P. Morgan Securities as of, the date of such opinion. Subsequent developments may affect J.P. Morgan Securities’ opinion, and J.P. Morgan Securities does not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm such opinion. J.P. Morgan Securities’ opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to LAN of the exchange ratio in the Transactions pursuant to the transaction agreements, and J.P. Morgan Securities has expressed no opinion as to the fairness of the Transactions to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of LAN or as to the underlying decision by LAN to engage in the Transactions. J.P. Morgan Securities has expressed no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any party to the Transactions, or any class of such persons relative to the exchange ratio in the Transactions or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. J.P. Morgan Securities expressed no opinion as to the price at which LAN’s common shares or TAM’s shares will trade at any future time.

Summary of Certain Financial Analyses Conducted by J.P. Morgan Securities
 
In accordance with customary investment banking practice, J.P. Morgan Securities employed generally accepted valuation methods in reaching its opinion. The following is a summary of the material financial analyses utilized by J.P. Morgan Securities in connection with its opinion. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by J.P. Morgan Securities or the presentations made by J.P. Morgan Securities to the board of directors of LAN. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses performed by J.P. Morgan Securities, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by J.P. Morgan Securities, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, and if viewed in isolation could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses performed by J.P. Morgan Securities.
 
The order of analyses described below does not represent the relative importance or weight given to those analyses by J.P. Morgan Securities. J.P. Morgan Securities worked on developing these analyses, and these analyses represent the work product of J.P. Morgan Securities. The analyses assume that all the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs would receive LAN common shares (in the form of LAN BDRs or LAN ADSs) in connection with the Transactions at the same exchange ratio. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before January 18, 2011, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.
 
Selected Public Companies Trading Analysis
 
Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan Securities reviewed and compared selected financial and market data of LAN and TAM with corresponding data for selected publicly traded companies engaged in businesses which J.P. Morgan Securities judged to be similar to LAN and TAM. The companies selected by J.P. Morgan Securities were:
 
 
·
LAN;
 
 
·
TAM;
 
 
·
Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A.; and
 
 
·
Copa Holdings, S.A.
 
Although none of the selected companies is directly comparable to LAN or TAM, these companies were selected, among other reasons, because they are airlines that operate in geographic areas that are subject to similar macroeconomic factors as LAN and TAM.
 
For each such company, J.P. Morgan Securities calculated the following financial multiples and ratios based on publicly available financial data, information it obtained from filings with the SEC, FactSet, research analyst reports and I/B/E/S estimates, each as of August 12, 2010 (the last full trading day prior to the announcement of the proposed combination):
 
 
·
adjusted firm value as a multiple of estimated 2010 and 2011 revenue;
 
 
·
adjusted firm value as a multiple of estimated 2010 and 2011 EBITDAR; and
 
 
-97-

 

 
·
price to estimated 2010 and 2011 earnings per share ratio.
 
Equity value was calculated, with respect to each company, as the total number of fully diluted shares of capital stock outstanding times the closing price for such shares, in each case as of August 12, 2010. Adjusted firm value was calculated as the equity value of each company plus such company’s total debt, including an estimated capitalized value of such company’s operating leases (which was calculated using standard industry methodology by multiplying the company’s rent expense for the prior four fiscal quarters by a capitalization rate of 7x), plus the non-controlling interest in the company’s subsidiaries (minority interest), and minus the company’s cash and cash equivalents, in each case as of the date of the company’s latest available public filings, which was June 30, 2010 (which we refer to collectively as “adjusted net debt and minority interest”). “EBITDAR” means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent expenses.
 
J.P. Morgan Securities believed that, of the financial multiples and ratios presented, the estimated 2010 and 2011 adjusted firm value to EBITDAR ratio would be the more appropriate metric to consider because, by adding back rental expense to earnings (together with interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), it produces a firm value estimate that includes the capitalized value of operating leases and is not affected by how assets are financed. The following table presents the results of this analysis:
 
   
Adjusted firm value/
 
Selected companies
 
2010E EBITDAR
   
2011E EBITDAR
 
             
LAN

TAM
    7.4x       6.4x  
Gol Linhas Aéreas
    7.1x       5.9x  
Copa Holdings
    8.2x       7.1x  
                 
Mean
    8.5x       7.3x  
Median
    7.8x       6.8x  

Given the limited number of public companies sufficiently comparable to LAN and TAM, J.P. Morgan Securities selected multiples derived from the selected public companies analysis based on J.P. Morgan Securities’ experience and professional judgment, as informed by historical trading multiples of LAN and TAM, and applied such multiples to comparable public data for LAN and TAM to derive a range of implied equity values for LAN and TAM. J.P. Morgan Securities applied a range of multiples of 8.0x to 10.0x to 2010 estimated adjusted firm value to EBITDAR multiple for LAN, multiples ranging from 7.0x to 9.0x to estimated 2011 adjusted firm value to EBITDAR multiple for LAN, multiples ranging from 7.5x to 9.0x to estimated 2010 adjusted firm value to EBITDAR multiple for TAM, and multiples ranging from 6.5x to 8.0x to estimated 2011 adjusted firm value to EBITDAR multiple for TAM. J.P. Morgan Securities divided these ranges of implied equity values for LAN by the number of fully diluted LAN common shares outstanding at that time to obtain a range of illustrative value indications per LAN common share of $15.8 to $24.7 and divided the ranges of implied equity values for TAM by the number of fully diluted TAM shares outstanding at that time to obtain a range of illustrative value indications per TAM share of $11.9 to $33.8 per TAM share. The results of this analysis are as follows:
 
         
Adjusted Firm Value/
EBITDAR multiple
   
Implied equity value
per share
 
   
Year
   
Low
     
High

LAN Airlines
    2010E       8.0x   -     10.0x     $ 15.8   -   $ 22.2  
      2011E       7.0x   -     9.0x     $ 17.1   -   $ 24.7  
TAM SA
    2010E       7.5x   -     9.0x     $ 11.9   -   $ 20.7  
      2011E       6.5x   -     8.0x     $ 21.5   -   $ 33.8

By dividing the low end of the range of implied equity values per TAM share by the high end of the range of implied equity values per LAN common share and dividing the high end of the range of implied equity values per TAM share by the low end of the range of implied equity values per LAN common share, J.P. Morgan Securities derived implied reference exchange ratios ranging from 0.54 to 1.31 LAN common shares per TAM share, using the estimated 2010 adjusted firm value to EBITDAR multiple, and from 0.87 to 1.98 LAN common shares per TAM share, using the estimated 2011 adjusted firm value to EBITDAR multiple, compared to the proposed exchange ratio of 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share.
 
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
 
J.P. Morgan Securities calculated ranges of implied equity values per share for both LAN and TAM by performing a discounted cash flow analysis for LAN and TAM on a stand-alone basis, without giving effect to the Synergies. For both LAN and TAM, the discounted cash flow analysis assumed a valuation date of December 31, 2010.
 
A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional method of evaluating a business by estimating the future cash flows of a business and taking into consideration the time value of money with respect to those future cash flows by calculating the “present value” of the estimated future cash flows of the business. “Present value” refers to the current value of one or more future cash payments, or “cash flows,” from a business and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macro-economic assumptions, estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors. Other financial terms utilized below are “terminal value,” which refers to the value of all future cash flows from a business beyond the end of a specific forecast period, and “unlevered free cash flows,” which refers to a calculation of the future cash flows of a business without including in such calculation any debt servicing costs.
 
In conducting this analysis, J.P. Morgan Securities applied a range of discount rates of 9.1% to 10.1% for LAN and a range of discount rates of 9.7% to 10.7% for TAM, which were chosen by J.P. Morgan Securities based upon an analysis of an estimate of the weighted average cost of capital of LAN and TAM, respectively, to the after-tax unlevered free cash flows that LAN and TAM were respectively projected to generate on an annual basis during the forecast period of 2011 through 2020, based on financial projections for LAN and TAM furnished for such period by LAN’s and TAM’s respective managements, in order to calculate the present value of such free cash flows. J.P. Morgan Securities also calculated a terminal value as of the end of the forecast period for each of LAN and TAM assuming perpetual unlevered free cash flow growth rates of 2.5% to 3.5% for both LAN and TAM. J.P. Morgan Securities’ decision to use perpetual growth rates of 2.5% to 3.5% was based on its judgment of the long-term growth prospects of LAN, TAM and the industry in which they participate as well as the long-term growth prospects of the overall economy. J.P. Morgan Securities then calculated the present value of the terminal values for LAN and TAM using the discount rates specified above. For both LAN and TAM, the present value of unlevered free cash flows and terminal values were added together in order to derive the unlevered firm values for each of LAN and TAM, respectively. J.P. Morgan Securities then calculated the implied equity value for both LAN and TAM by:  (i) subtracting from each company’s firm value such company’s total debt and non-controlling interest in subsidiaries (minority interest) and (ii) adding each company’s cash and cash equivalents, in each case as of September 30, 2010. J.P. Morgan Securities divided these ranges of implied equity values for LAN by the number of fully diluted LAN common shares outstanding at that time to obtain a range of illustrative value indications per LAN common share of $32.3 to $35.5 and divided the ranges of implied equity values for TAM by the number of fully diluted TAM shares outstanding at that time to obtain a range of illustrative value indications per TAM share of $30.7 to $34.0 per TAM share.
 
By dividing the low end of the range of implied equity values per TAM share by the high end of the range of implied equity values per LAN common share and dividing the high end of the range of implied equity values per TAM share by the low end of the range of implied equity values per LAN common share, J.P. Morgan Securities derived implied reference exchange ratios ranging from 0.87 to 1.05 LAN common shares per TAM share, compared to the proposed exchange ratio of 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share.

Historical stock performance
 
J.P. Morgan Securities compared the respective closing price of LAN common shares and TAM preferred shares as of August 12, 2010, which was the date immediately prior to the announcement of the Transactions. J.P. Morgan Securities also compared the historical respective trading price performance of LAN common shares and TAM preferred shares over (i) the one-month period, (ii) the three-month period, (iii) the six-month period and (iv) the 12-month period prior to August 13, 2010, which was the date on which the Transactions were announced. J.P. Morgan Securities used the closing and trading price of TAM preferred shares because they are the most actively traded shares of TAM. The following table shows the respective closing price and trading price performance of LAN common shares and TAM preferred shares during the periods indicated:

J.P. Morgan Securities noted that the implied exchange ratios as calculated using the daily closing prices of TAM preferred shares divided by the daily closing prices of LAN common shares over these periods ranged from a low of 0.63 to a high of 1.41 LAN common shares per TAM preferred share, compared to the proposed exchange ratio of 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share. J.P. Morgan Securities noted that an historical stock trading analysis is not a valuation methodology and that such analysis was presented to the board of directors of LAN merely for informational purposes.
 
Contribution Analysis
 
J.P. Morgan Securities reviewed the contribution of LAN and TAM to the pro forma combined company relative to (i) the last 12 months EBITDAR as of September 30, 2010 (“EBITDAR LTM 3Q 2010”), (ii) the estimated EBITDAR for each of the years 2010, 2011 and 2012 and (iii) the estimated combined EBITDAR for the years 2009 through 2012 (which we refer to collectively as the “Metrics”). The historical year 2009 EBITDAR and the last 12 months EBITDAR as of September 30, 2010 for LAN and TAM were based on publicly available financial data. The year 2010, 2011 and 2012 estimated EBITDAR for LAN and TAM were based on the Projections. The relative contribution analysis did not give effect to the impact of any Synergies as a result of the Transactions. Based on the closing prices for the LAN common shares and TAM preferred shares as of August 12, 2010 and information contained in each company’s public filings with respect to the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 and as of June 30, 2010, J.P. Morgan Securities calculated the implied pro forma adjusted firm value of the combined company as of August 12, 2010. J.P. Morgan Securities then calculated the implied adjusted firm value for each of LAN and TAM with respect to each Metric, by applying (a) the percentage of the Metric contributed by each company to the pro forma combined company to (b) the pro forma adjusted firm value of the combined company. J.P. Morgan Securities then subtracted from the implied adjusted firm value of each of LAN and TAM calculated for each Metric the applicable company’s adjusted net debt and minority interest as of June 30, 2010 to derive an implied equity value for LAN and TAM with respect to each Metric. Using these implied equity values, J.P. Morgan Securities then calculated the implied percentage contribution of LAN and TAM to the pro forma implied equity value of the combined company with respect to each Metric. The implied contribution percentages resulting from such Metrics were used to determine the implied pro forma ownership percentages of the combined company for the shareholders of LAN and TAM. The pro forma ownership percentages were then used to determine the implied exchange ratio of a LAN common share for each TAM share. The following table presents the results of the relative contribution analysis:

J.P. Morgan Securities noted that the implied exchange ratios ranged from a low of 1.17 to a high of 1.56 LAN common shares per TAM share, compared to the proposed exchange ratio of 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share.
 
Illustrative Value Creation Analysis
 
J.P. Morgan Securities performed an illustrative value creation analysis that compared the implied equity value per LAN common share derived from the discounted cash flow analysis of LAN on a standalone basis to the pro forma implied equity value of the combined company after giving effect to the Transactions (including Synergies). For this analysis, J.P. Morgan Securities calculated the potential increase/(decrease) in the equity value per LAN common share by comparing (a) the implied equity value per LAN common share of $33.9 derived from the stand-alone discounted cash flow analysis of LAN assuming a 9.6% discount rate (which was the mid-point of the discount range used in the discounted cash flow analysis of LAN) and a perpetuity growth rate of 3.0% (which was the mid-point of the growth rate range used in the stand-alone discounted cash flow analysis of LAN) with (b) the pro forma implied equity value representing the LAN shareholders’ pro forma ownership of the combined company taking into account the expected Synergies (net of transaction expenses, including integration, advisory, marketing and other costs) of $43.1 per share. J.P. Morgan Securities derived the pro forma implied equity value representing the LAN shareholders’ pro forma ownership of the combined company by performing a discounted cash flow analysis of the combined entity taking into account the expected Synergies (net of transaction expenses, including integration, advisory, marketing and other costs), assuming a 9.8% discount rate (which was the mid-point of a discount range of 9.3% to 10.3%) and a perpetuity growth rate of 3% (which was the mid-point of a growth rate range of 2.5% to 3.5%), multiplied by a factor of 71%, representing the LAN shareholders’ pro forma ownership of the combined company. J.P. Morgan Securities divided this pro forma implied equity value representing the LAN shareholders’ pro forma ownership of the combined company by the number of fully diluted LAN common shares outstanding at that time to obtain $43.1 per share. Based on the assumptions set forth above, this analysis implied value creation for LAN shareholders of 27%. Additionally, for illustrative purposes J.P. Morgan Securities performed this same analysis but excluded the value of the revenues projected to be derived from the Synergies (but including cost and cargo synergies). This alternative analysis implied value creation for LAN shareholders of 18%.
 
The foregoing summary of financial analyses does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses or data presented by J.P. Morgan Securities to the board of directors of LAN, but describes, in summary form, the material analyses performed by J.P. Morgan Securities in connection with its opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. J.P. Morgan Securities believes that the foregoing summary and its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the foregoing summary and the analyses set forth above, without considering all of its analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the analyses and its opinion. In arriving at its opinion, J.P. Morgan Securities considered the results of all of its analyses, taken as a whole, and did not attribute any particular weight to any individual analysis or factor considered by it and did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative), considered in isolation, supported or failed to support its opinion. Rather, J.P. Morgan Securities considered the totality of the factors and analyses performed by it in determining its opinion and made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses, taken as a whole.

J.P. Morgan Securities prepared these analyses for purposes of providing its opinion to the LAN board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to LAN of the exchange ratio in the Transactions pursuant to the transaction agreements. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results, including estimates of synergies, are inherently uncertain, as they are subject to numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties and their advisors. Accordingly, forecasts and analyses used or made by J.P. Morgan Securities are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by those analyses. Moreover, J.P. Morgan Securities’ analyses are not and do not purport to be appraisals or otherwise reflective of the prices at which businesses or securities actually could be bought or sold. Other than LAN and TAM, none of the selected companies reviewed as described in the above summary is identical to LAN or TAM. However, the companies selected were chosen by J.P. Morgan Securities because they are publicly traded companies with operations and businesses that, for purposes of J.P. Morgan Securities’ analyses, may be considered similar to those of LAN and TAM. The analyses performed by J.P. Morgan Securities necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operational characteristics of the companies involved and other factors that could affect the companies compared to LAN and TAM. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of LAN, TAM, J.P. Morgan Securities or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasted.
 
For services rendered in connection with the Transactions, LAN has agreed to pay J.P. Morgan Securities customary compensation in respect thereof, a substantial portion of which will become payable only if the Transactions are consummated. In addition, LAN has agreed to reimburse J.P. Morgan Securities for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, and will indemnify J.P. Morgan Securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under applicable securities laws.
 
During the two years preceding the date of the opinion, J.P. Morgan Securities and its affiliates have had commercial or investment banking relationships with LAN and TAM for which they have received customary compensation. With respect to LAN, such services during such period have included acting as counterparty with respect to certain derivatives transactions and as lender with respect to a credit facility. With respect to TAM, J.P. Morgan Securities and its affiliates have provided certain treasury services and solutions services and acted as depositary with respect to the TAM ADRs issued by TAM on March 16, 2006. In addition, as of the date of the opinion certain affiliates of J.P. Morgan Securities had a 0.095% equity ownership in LAN common shares, a 1.033% equity ownership in TAM shares, and a 0.033% equity ownership in TAM ADRs. In the ordinary course of business, J.P. Morgan Securities and its affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities of LAN or TAM for their own account or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, they may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.

The board of directors of TAM, at a meeting held on ____, determined that the exchange offer and the mergers are in the best interest of TAM and the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs. At that meeting, the board of directors of TAM also recommended that the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs (other than the TAM controlling shareholders) tender them into the exchange offer, but informed the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs that such decision is ultimately at their discretion. This determination was based on (i) the convenience and opportunity of the exchange offer weighed against the interests of the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs and the liquidity of TAM shares and TAM ADSs, (ii) the impact of the exchange offer on the interests of TAM as a company and (iii) the announced strategic plans of LAN for the combined company. In making these determinations and recommendations, the board of directors of TAM considered a number of factors, including the potential risks and expected benefits to TAM and the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs that could result from the proposed combination. The factors that the board of directors of TAM considered in reaching these decisions and making its recommendation are described in TAM’s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, which has been filed with the SEC and mailed to you together with this offer to exchange/prospectus.
 
In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of TAM with respect to tendering your TAM shares or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer, you should be aware that certain members of the board of directors of TAM (the members of which include the TAM controlling shareholders) and executive officers of TAM may have interests in the proposed combination which are different from, or in addition to, your interests. The board of directors of TAM was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the transaction agreements and the proposed combination and in recommending that the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs (other than the TAM controlling shareholders) tender their TAM shares and TAM ADSs into the exchange offer. For a discussion of these interests, see the “Interests of Certain Persons” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 190.
 
Opinion of TAM’s Financial Advisor
 
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated as of July 20, 2010, BTG Pactual acted as financial advisor to the board of directors of TAM in connection with a potential combination of TAM and LAN. In connection with this engagement, the board of directors of TAM requested that BTG Pactual provide its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to TAM of the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio.
 
When the board of directors of TAM was choosing BTG Pactual to act as its financial advisor, the board of directors of TAM considered, among other things, that BTG Pactual is an internationally recognized investment banking firm with extensive experience providing strategic advisory services for transactions in Latin America and, in particular, Brazil, as well as BTG Pactual’s long-standing familiarity with TAM. BTG Pactual, as a part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and related securities for mergers and acquisitions, underwritings, secondary distributions of both listed and unlisted securities and private placements. For each of these reasons, the board of directors of TAM chose BTG Pactual as its financial advisor.
 
At the August 13, 2010 meeting of the board of directors of TAM, BTG Pactual rendered the BTG Pactual Opinion, to the effect that, as of the date of the BTG Pactual Opinion, based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other conditions set forth in the BTG Pactual Opinion, the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio were fair, from a financial point of view, to TAM.

The full text of the BTG Pactual Opinion, dated as of August 13, 2010, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations, qualifications and conditions of the review undertaken by BTG Pactual in connection with the BTG Pactual Opinion, is attached as Annex B to this offer to exchange/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The BTG Pactual Opinion has been approved and authorized for issuance and is addressed to, and for the use and benefit of, the board of directors of TAM. The BTG Pactual Opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to TAM of the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio. BTG Pactual was not asked to, and BTG Pactual’s Opinion did not, address the fairness of the combination, or any consideration received in connection therewith, to the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of TAM, nor did it address the fairness of the contemplated benefits of the combination. BTG Pactual expressed no opinion as to the merits of the underlying decision by TAM to engage in the combination or the relative merits of the combination as compared to alternative business strategies, nor did it express any opinion as to how any TAM stockholders should vote on any matter. BTG Pactual did not express any view or opinion as to the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount or nature of any compensation payable to or to be received by any of TAM’s officers, directors, or employees of any parties to the combination, or any class of such persons, in connection with the combination and any related transactions relative to the combination consideration to be received by the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs acquired in the exchange offer. The summary of the BTG Pactual Opinion set forth in this offer to exchange/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the BTG Pactual Opinion set forth as Annex B. TAM stockholders are urged to read the BTG Pactual Opinion in its entirety.
 
In connection with BTG Pactual’s role as financial advisor to the board of directors of TAM, and in arriving at its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to TAM of the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio, BTG Pactual reviewed, among other things, certain publicly available financial and other information concerning LAN and TAM, certain internal analyses and other information concerning LAN and TAM provided to it by management of LAN and TAM, which it used to prepare the Projections discussed below in this section, and financial and operational information of comparable companies. BTG Pactual also held discussions with representatives and advisors of LAN and TAM regarding the businesses and prospects of LAN and TAM and the joint prospects of LATAM. In addition, BTG Pactual:
 
 
·
reviewed the terms of the most recently available draft of the Memorandum of Understanding (as of the date that BTG Pactual delivered the BTG Pactual Opinion); and
 
 
·
performed such other studies and analyses and considered such other factors as BTG Pactual deemed appropriate.
 
For the preparation of the BTG Pactual Opinion, BTG Pactual adopted as a reliable assumption, with the express consent of the board of directors of TAM, the accuracy, content, truthfulness, completeness, sufficiency and integrity of all the data that was provided to it by, or discussed with, management of TAM. BTG Pactual did not assume responsibility for, nor did it make a physical inspection of, any of the assets or properties of LAN or TAM. Likewise, BTG Pactual did not assume responsibility for, nor did it conduct an independent valuation of, the assets and liabilities of LAN or TAM or of their solvency. TAM assumed the responsibility, including for its agents, shareholders and employees, for all information concerning TAM transmitted to, or discussed with, BTG Pactual by management of TAM.
 
BTG Pactual assumed that all estimates, data and assumptions presented to it by TAM or LAN for the purposes of preparing the BTG Pactual Opinion were prepared based on the judgment of TAM's management and LAN’s management at the time those estimates, data and assumptions were prepared as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of LAN and TAM in their respective markets. BTG Pactual assumed that such estimates, data and assumptions reflect LAN’s or TAM’s and their respective managements’ best estimates and judgments at the time those estimates, data and assumptions were prepared as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of LAN and TAM. None of LAN, Holdco II, TAM, BTG Pactual or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those reflected in the Projections prepared by BTG Pactual on which the BTG Pactual Opinion was based. The Projections are not necessarily indicative of future results of operations of financial condition of LAN or TAM, which may be significantly more or less favorable than the Projections as described below. In addition, BTG Pactual’s financial analyses relating to the value of the businesses of LAN and TAM do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which LAN shares or TAM shares may be purchased or sold.
 
In carrying out its work, BTG Pactual assumed that all the governmental or regulatory type approvals or approvals of any other nature required to complete the combination, and any other actions necessary for the combination to be completed, will be obtained or taken, and that no such action taken in furtherance of the combination will materially and adversely affect LAN or TAM or the expected benefits sought from the combination.

BTG Pactual draws attention to the fact that its services do not include consulting of a legal or accounting nature. The contents of the BTG Pactual Opinion are not, nor must they be considered to be, a promise or guarantee in relation to the past or the future, nor as the sole source of recommendation for the exchange ratio. The TAM shareholders should consult their own tax and legal advisers, independently, to reach their own opinions on the combination and whether to tender their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer. The BTG Pactual Opinion must be read and interpreted in light of the restrictions and qualifications discussed above in this section.
 
BTG Pactual’s Financial Analyses
 
BTG Pactual, in accordance with customary investment banking practices, employed generally accepted valuation methodologies in reaching its opinion that the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio were fair, from a financial point of view, to TAM. The following is a summary of the material financial analyses contained in the presentation that was made by BTG Pactual to the board of directors of TAM on August 13, 2010 and that were used by BTG Pactual in connection with rendering the BTG Pactual Opinion described above. The following summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the financial analyses performed by BTG Pactual, nor does the order of the analyses described below represent the relative importance or weight given to those analyses by BTG Pactual or the board of directors of TAM. Considering certain of the data summarized below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of BTG Pactual’s financial analyses. Certain financial, comparative and other analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. The tables must be read together with the text of each summary and are alone not a complete description of BTG Pactual’s financial analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before August 12, 2010, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions. In performing its analyses, BTG Pactual made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of LAN and TAM.
 
Summary of Analyses
 
In assessing the fairness, from a financial point of view, to TAM of the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio, BTG Pactual:
 
 
·
researched the macroeconomic conditions under which LAN and TAM operate and may operate in the future (which we refer to as “macroeconomic conditions research”);
 
 
·
prepared operating and financial projections for LAN’s and TAM’s businesses through 2020 based on certain internal analyses and other information concerning LAN and TAM provided to BTG Pactual by management of LAN and TAM (we refer to these as the “Projections) and by (i) analyzing and reviewing the macroeconomic conditions in which LAN and TAM operate and may operate in the future, and (ii) engaging in discussions with directors of LAN and TAM;
 
 
·
performed a discounted cash flow analysis; and
 
 
·
performed a market multiples analysis.
 
BTG Pactual compared the results of each of the discounted cash flow analysis and the market multiples analysis for LAN and TAM, respectively, to 0.90, the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio contemplated by the transaction agreements.
 
Implied Exchange Ratio
 
The two valuation methodologies described below, discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples analysis, resulted in a range of implied equity values per share for TAM between R$33.9 and R$41.3 (or, using an exchange rate of R$1.80 per US dollar, US$18.8 and US$22.9) and for LAN between US$21.7 and US$26.0. The average point of both ranges (US$20.9 in the case of TAM, and US$23.8 in the case of LAN) resulted in an implied exchange ratio range for LAN and TAM of 0.88x (the average point of TAM’s range (US$20.9) divided by the average point of LAN’s range (US$23.8)). BTG Pactual’s final analysis resulted in a range between 0.84x and 0.93x (0.88x plus/minus a five percent deviation) for the exchange ratio between TAM and LAN. The Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio of 0.90x contemplated by the transaction agreements is within the ranges set forth below for the discounted cash flow analysis and the market multiples analysis.

Discounted Cash Flow Analyses
 
As part of its analysis, and in order to estimate the present value of the TAM common shares, TAM preferred shares and LAN common shares, BTG Pactual performed a discounted cash flow analysis of each of LAN and TAM based upon its macroeconomic conditions research and the Projections.
 
For each of LAN and TAM, BTG Pactual calculated a range of implied equity values per share of the company’s common stock based upon the after-tax levered free cash flows the company was expected to generate during the fiscal years 2010 through 2020, plus the discounted present value of the company’s terminal value as of year-end 2020. To determine the terminal value for each of LAN and TAM, a perpetual levered cash flow growth rate of 2.0% in US dollar nominal terms using the Gordon perpetual growth model was applied. The perpetual levered free cash flow growth rate was selected based on BTG Pactual’s professional judgment and experience. BTG Pactual estimated the future after-tax levered free cash flows attributable to each company based on the Projections using its professional judgment, experience as an investment bank and discussions with management of LAN and TAM. BTG Pactual discounted the after-tax levered free cash flows and the estimated terminal values of each company to present value as of June 30, 2010 using a range of discount rates of 10.7% to 11.7% for LAN and 13.7% to 14.7% for TAM. The discount rates used in the discounted cash flow analysis of LAN were determined based on (i) an unlevered index measuring the relationship between share return and market return (which we refer to as “beta”) of LAN, (ii) a target capital structure of 50% debt to total capital, (iii) country risk in Chile and (iv) the long-horizon expected equity risk premium. The discount rates used in the discounted cash flow analysis of TAM were determined based on (i) an unlevered beta of TAM, (ii) a target capital structure based on discussions with TAM’s management, (iii) country risk in Brazil and (iv) the long-horizon expected equity risk premium.
 
BTG Pactual calculated implied per-share equity values for each of LAN and TAM by determining a range of implied equity values of each company (which were US$7,605 to US$8,657 for LAN and R$6,272 to R$6,480 for TAM) by adding the present values of each company’s after-tax levered free cash flows and terminal value and then dividing those amounts by the number of outstanding TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) or LAN common shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs), as applicable. BTG Pactual observed that the resulting ranges of implied equity values per share were US$22.45 to US$25.55 for LAN and R$40.09 (US$22.27) to R$41.42 (US$23.01) for TAM.
 
In addition, BTG Pactual calculated the range of implied exchange ratios for LAN and TAM derived from this analysis using the minimum and maximum ratios of TAM share prices in US dollars to LAN share prices in US dollars (US$22.27 to US$25.55 and US$23.01 to US$22.45). BTG Pactual then compared the calculated range of implied exchange ratios (0.87x — 1.02x) to 0.90x, the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio contemplated by the transaction agreements.
 
Market Multiples Analyses
 
BTG Pactual compared certain financial information and commonly used valuation measurements for each of LAN and TAM to corresponding information and measurements of certain publicly traded companies that BTG Pactual considered relevant. In determining the universe of comparable companies, BTG Pactual considered a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, similarity in company aircraft portfolio, size and geographic exposure. However, because of the inherent differences between the businesses, operations and prospects of LAN, TAM and those of the selected comparable companies (except, in the case of LAN and TAM, LAN and TAM, respectively), BTG Pactual believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected publicly traded company analysis. Accordingly, BTG Pactual also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of LAN, TAM and the selected comparable companies that could affect the values of each in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis. BTG Pactual selected the following companies (which we refer to as the “selected companies”):

 
-106-

 

 
·
TAM;
 
 
·
LAN;
 
 
·
Gol Transportes Aéreos, which uses the operating name GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes (which we refer to as “GOL”), and is based in Brazil; and
 
 
·
Compañía Panameña de Aviación, S.A., which operates as Copa Airlines (which we refer to as “COPA”), and is based in Panama.
 
To calculate the trading multiples for the selected companies, BTG Pactual used publicly available information concerning historical and projected financial performance, including published historical financial information and forecasted estimates based on widely used industry data and research and public filings made by the selected companies, as well as the Projections. Using such financial information, BTG Pactual reviewed for each of these companies, among other things:  (i) the price per share in Brazilian reals on August 12, 2010, (ii) the total value of all outstanding shares on August 12, 2010 in both US dollars and Brazilian reals, (iii) enterprise value (calculated as the market value of the particular company’s common equity plus total debt, plus seven times the rent expenses, plus non-controlling interest, less cash and cash equivalents and which we refer to as “EV”) estimates for fiscal years 2010 and 2011, (iv) the ratio of the estimated EV compared to estimated EBITDAR (calculated as described below) for fiscal years 2010 and 2011, (v) estimated net earnings for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 and (vi) the ratio of equity value to estimated net earnings (which we refer to as “P/E”) for fiscal years 2010 and 2011.

EV represents the enterprise value of the relevant selected company and EBITDAR represents earnings of the company before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and leasing costs. P/E represents the ratio between current equity value and estimated net earnings. EBITDAR may not be calculated directly in accordance with GAAP or IFRS and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income or to net cash flow from operating activities or as an indication of operating performance.
 
Due to the limited number of public companies sufficiently comparable to LAN and TAM, BTG Pactual chose ranges derived from the above market multiples analyses (based on its professional judgment, experience as an investment bank and the information related to the historical trading multiples of LAN and TAM) and applied such ranges to comparable public data for LAN and TAM to calculate an implied per share price for each company.

BTG Pactual calculated the range of implied exchange ratios for LAN and TAM using the minimum and maximum ratios of TAM share prices in US dollars (converted using an exchange rate of R$1.80 per US dollar) to LAN share prices in US dollars (US$15.34 to US$26.36 and US$22.85 to US$20.89) derived from this analysis. BTG Pactual then compared the calculated range of implied exchange ratios (0.58x — 1.10x) to 0.90x, the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio contemplated by the transaction agreements.
 
None of the selected companies utilized as a comparison is identical to LAN or TAM. Accordingly, BTG Pactual believes that the analysis of selected publicly traded companies is not simply mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and qualitative judgments, reflected in the BTG Pactual Opinion and its presentation to the board of directors of TAM, concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and other factors that could affect the public trading value of such selected companies.
 
The foregoing summary is not a comprehensive description of all analyses performed and factors considered by BTG Pactual in connection with preparing the BTG Pactual Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving the application of subjective business judgment in determining the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to a summary description. BTG Pactual believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that considering any portion of such analyses and of the factors considered without considering all analyses and factors could create a misleading view of the process underlying the BTG Pactual Opinion. In arriving at its fairness opinion, BTG Pactual did not assign specific weights to any particular analyses.
 
In conducting its analyses and arriving at the BTG Pactual Opinion, BTG Pactual utilized a variety of generally accepted valuation methods. The analyses were prepared solely for the purpose of enabling BTG Pactual to provide the BTG Pactual Opinion to the board of directors of TAM as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to TAM of the Holdco II exchange ratio and the Sister Holdco exchange ratio. As described above, BTG Pactual made, and was provided by representatives of TAM’s management with, numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond TAM’s control. Analyses based on estimates or forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual past or future values or results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Because such analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of TAM or its advisors, neither TAM nor BTG Pactual nor any other person assumes responsibility if future results or actual values are materially different from these forecasts or assumptions.
 
The terms of the combination were determined through negotiations between LAN and TAM and were approved by the board of directors of TAM. Although BTG Pactual provided advice to the board of directors of TAM during the course of these negotiations, the decision of TAM to enter into the combination was solely that of the board of directors of TAM. As described above, the BTG Pactual Opinion and presentation of BTG Pactual to the board of directors of TAM were only one of a number of factors taken into consideration by the board of directors of TAM in making its determination to approve the combination. The BTG Pactual Opinion was provided to the board of directors of TAM to assist it in connection with its consideration of the combination and does not constitute a recommendation to any TAM shareholder as to how to vote on any matter.
 
Additional Information
 
The board of directors of TAM selected BTG Pactual as its financial advisor in connection with the combination based on BTG Pactual’s qualifications, expertise, reputation and experience in mergers and acquisitions. TAM has retained BTG Pactual pursuant to an engagement letter dated as of July 20, 2010. As compensation for BTG Pactual’s services in connection with the combination, TAM has agreed to pay BTG Pactual a transaction fee, all of which is contingent on the consummation of the combination. However, if the combination is not consummated due to certain events, including either LAN or TAM terminating or abandoning the combination, then TAM has agreed to pay 20.8% of the transaction fee to BTG Pactual. Regardless of whether the combination is consummated, TAM has agreed to reimburse BTG Pactual for reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of BTG Pactual’s counsel and all of BTG Pactual’s reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the combination or otherwise arising out of the engagement of BTG Pactual under the engagement letter. TAM has also agreed to indemnify BTG Pactual and certain related persons to the fullest extent lawful against certain liabilities arising out of its engagement or the combination.

Appraisal Report
 
At a duly called shareholder meeting (at which the requisite quorum of at least 20% of the free float shares was present) held on ___, 2011, the holders of free float shares had the option to select, by vote of a majority of the votes cast at that meeting, from among three independent, specialized third-party appraisal firms (which we refer to as the “recommended appraisal firms”) proposed by the board of directors of TAM as the Appraiser and to prepare the Appraisal Report , or to select Bradesco as the Appraiser and to adopt as the Appraisal Report the appraisal report prepared by Bradesco valuing each of LAN and TAM as of ____________, 2011, in accordance with CVM 361/2002, which was presented at that meeting. The board of directors of TAM, in compliance with CVM 361/2002, as well as the rules of the Bovespa and the TAM by-laws, selected Bradesco and the recommended appraisal firms as appropriate firms to prepare the Appraisal Report based on their respective qualifications, including their knowledge and expertise in providing economic and financial appraisal reports for publicly traded companies of similar sizes and with similar operations as TAM.
 
The Appraiser prepared the Appraisal Report in accordance with CVM 361/2002.  The appraisal report is required to set forth the valuation criteria that the Appraiser used in preparing the report, as well as: (i) the appraised value of each of LAN and TAM, set out in ranges, provided that the differences between the minimum and maximum values for each of LAN and TAM do not exceed 10%; (ii) the weighted average price of the LAN common shares and TAM shares on the NYSE, Bovespa and SSE, as applicable, by share type, (a) during the 12 months immediately prior to the publication of the relevant fact notice (fato relevante) published on August 13, 2010 and announcing the proposed combination (which we refer to as the “relevant fact notice”) and (b) between the date of the publication of the relevant fact notice and the date of the Appraisal Report; (iii) the net asset value per share of each of LAN and TAM as of the date of the latest periodic information (annual or quarterly) sent to the CVM or SVS; (iv) the value per share of each of LAN and TAM, calculated according to at least one of the following methodologies: (a) discounted cash flow analysis, (b) market multiples analysis, and (c) comparable transactions analysis, if comparable transactions analysis is considered a more appropriate analysis for valuing the relevant company; and (v) if applicable, any other valuation criteria chosen by the Appraiser that is generally accepted in the airline industry, provided that such criteria is acceptable under Brazilian law and CVM regulations for calculating fair price or value ranges, as the case may be, and such criteria is not utilized in items (i) through (iv) above.

The Appraisal Report is intended solely for the use of the management, the board of directors and the shareholders of TAM for the purpose of supporting their respective decisions to approve or participate in the exchange offer, as applicable. The Appraisal Report does not constitute the Appraiser’s recommendation or opinion to the shareholders of TAM as to whether the exchange offer is advisable, and should not be used as such. All shareholders of TAM should conduct their own analyses of the exchange offer and should rely on their own financial, tax and legal advisers when evaluating the exchange offer.
 
Once available, each TAM shareholder should read the entire Appraisal Report, a copy of which is attached as Annex C hereto and incorporated by reference into this offer to exchange/prospectus. Under the terms of the transaction agreements, the exchange ratio is fixed and is not subject to adjustment based on changes in the value of either LAN’s or TAM’s assets or liabilities or the share prices of the LAN shares or the TAM shares. Moreover, there can be no assurance that material changes have not occurred in the values of the LAN shares or the TAM shares since the date of the Appraisal Report. However, if at any time an appraisal event occurs, which means that the Appraiser determines in the Appraisal Report that the product of the exchange ratio in the exchange offer and the mergers (0.90) and the high end of the range of economic value per LAN common share is less than the low end of the range of the economic value per TAM share, then the exchange offer and each of the transaction agreements will be terminated automatically. In addition, it is a condition to the completion of the exchange offer that, since the commencement date, no appraisal event has occurred, the holders of the free float shares shall have not requested a new appraisal report and a new appraiser in accordance with Brazilian law and the holders of the free float shares shall no longer have the right to request a new appraisal report or a new appraiser.

The Exchange Offer
 
Holdco II, a Chilean company formed in June 2011 and indirectly owned by the TAM controlling shareholders and LAN, is making one exchange offer to acquire all the outstanding TAM shares and TAM ADSs that are not owned by the TAM controlling shareholders in exchange for the same number of newly issued Holdco II shares using two separate offering documents:  (i) this offer to exchange/prospectus, which is being sent to all holders of TAM shares that are residents of, or located in, the United States and all holders of TAM ADSs wherever located, and (ii)  offering documents, that are being published in Brazil and made available to all holders of TAM shares (which we refer to as the “Brazilian offering documents”).
 
Mailing of Exchange Offer Documents

This offer to exchange/prospectus, the accompanying letter of transmittal and other relevant materials (which we refer to as the “exchange offer materials”) will be mailed by LAN to the registered holders of TAM ADSs and the record holders of TAM shares that are residents of, or located in, the United States and whose names appear on the shareholder lists provided by TAM. The exchange offer materials will also be furnished, for subsequent transmittal to the beneficial owners of TAM shares and TAM ADSs that are residents of, or located in, the United States, to the brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and similar nominees whose names, or the names of whose nominees, appear on the shareholder lists maintained by the Brazilian share registrar or, if applicable, who are listed as participants in the security position listing of the DTC. LAN will reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees for customary handling and mailing expenses incurred by them in forwarding the exchange offer materials to their customers. LAN will also mail the exchange offer materials to any beneficial owner of TAM shares or TAM ADSs that requests a copy of the exchange offer materials. If you hold or are the beneficial owner of TAM shares but you are not a resident of, or located in, the United States, you should consult the Brazilian offering documents.
 
The distribution of this offer to exchange/prospectus and the making of the exchange offer may, in some jurisdictions, be restricted by applicable law. This exchange offer is not being made, directly or indirectly, in or into, and may not be accepted from within, any jurisdiction in which the making of the exchange offer or the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the laws of that jurisdiction. Persons who come into possession of this offer to exchange/prospectus should inform themselves of and observe these restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of that jurisdiction. Neither LAN nor Holdco II assumes any responsibility for any violation by any person of any of these restrictions.
 
Consideration to Be Exchanged
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offer described below, Holdco II is making the exchange offer to the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs, other than the TAM controlling shareholders, pursuant to which they will receive 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share or TAM ADS acquired in the exchange offer. Holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs who tender their TAM shares and TAM ADSs through the US exchange agent will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN ADSs, while holders of TAM shares who tender their TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDSs.
 
For a comparison of the rights of the holders of LAN common shares and TAM shares, and the rights of holders of LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs as compared to the rights of the holders of TAM ADSs, see the “Comparison of Rights of Holders of LAN Securities and TAM Securities” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 201.

If all holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs, other than the TAM controlling shareholders, validly tender all of their TAM shares and TAM ADSs into, and do not withdraw them from, the exchange offer, TEP Chile pays for the subscriptions of Sister Holdco shares and Holdco I shares by, directly or indirectly, contributing to Holdco I and Sister Holdco all of the TAM shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders, no shareholders of LAN exercise their appraisal rights (derecho a retiro) under Chilean law in connection with approval of the mergers and no TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) or LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs) are issued after the date of this offer to exchange/prospectus other than the LAN common shares to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers (which will be represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs), 140,586,103 LAN shares will be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and mergers, and the number of issued and outstanding LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs) will increase from 339,358,209 as of September 30, 2011 to 479,944,312. Based on the same assumptions, the 140,586,103 LAN common shares represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs to be issued to holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers will represent approximately 30% of the outstanding LAN common shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs) immediately after the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers. For a description of the mergers, see “The Transaction Agreements—The Mergers; Directors and Officers; By-laws” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 177.
 
Assuming that all outstanding TAM shares and TAM ADSs, other than those owned by the TAM controlling shareholders, are acquired in the exchange offer, TEP Chile pays for the subscriptions of Sister Holdco shares and Holdco I shares by, directly or indirectly, contributing to Holdco I and Sister Holdco all the TAM shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders, and the exchange offer, the mergers and the squeeze-out are completed on the terms and conditions set forth in this offer to exchange/prospectus, LAN’s share capital as of September 30, 2011 will be increased by an amount equal to ThUS$ 4,011,426 or ThCLP$ 2,066,445,990.

For a discussion of how the expiration date may be extended, see the “—Extension, Termination and Amendment” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus below.
 
Extension, Termination and Amendment
 
To the extent permitted by applicable rules and regulations of the CVM and the SEC and with the consent of the TAM controlling shareholders with respect to conditions waivable by them, if one or more of the exchange offer conditions described in this section below under the heading “—Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer” is not fulfilled prior to the expiration date, LAN reserves the right, from time to time, to cause Holdco II to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open for minimum periods of three days to no later than 28 days after the commencement date, until all of the exchange offer conditions have been satisfied or waived. In such event, Holdco II will send written notice to the US exchange agent. LAN and Holdco II can give you no assurance that LAN will exercise its right to cause Holdco II to extend the exchange offer or, if their consent is required, that the TAM controlling shareholders will agree to any such extension. If Holdco II extends the period of time during which the exchange offer is open, the exchange offer will expire at the latest time and date to which Holdco II extends the exchange offer. During any such extension, all TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer prior to that date will remain subject to the exchange offer, subject to your right to withdraw your TAM shares or TAM ADSs. You should read the discussion in this section below under “—Withdrawal Rights” for more information about your ability to withdraw tendered shares. In addition, if the exchange offer is completed, under Brazilian law the holders of TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that have not sold their TAM shares or TAM ADSs in the exchange offer will have an option to sell such shares to LAN at any time during the three months after the expiration date for an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of LAN common shares that they would have received pursuant to the exchange offer in respect of their TAM shares or TAM ADSs and (ii) the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the date the exchange offer is completed, duly adjusted by the Central Bank of Brazil’s overnight lending rate.
 
To the extent permitted by applicable rules and regulations of the CVM and the SEC, LAN also reserves the right, with the consent of the TAM controlling shareholders where required by the transaction agreements, at any time or from time to time:
 
 
·
to terminate the exchange offer and not accept for exchange or to exchange any TAM shares or TAM ADSs upon the failure of any of the exchange offer conditions described in this offer to exchange/prospectus below under the heading “—Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer” to be satisfied prior to the expiration date; and
 
 
·
to waive any condition prior to the expiration date or otherwise delay or amend the exchange offer in any respect, by giving oral or written notice of such waiver, delay or amendment to the US exchange agent.
 
Although the consent of the TAM controlling shareholders is required under the terms of the transaction agreements for any amendment or revocation of the exchange offer, the TAM controlling shareholders have agreed not to unreasonably withhold or delay their agreement to any such amendment that is not adverse to the TAM controlling shareholders or the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs generally. To the extent permitted by the CVM, the exchange offer will be revoked if the transaction agreements terminate in accordance with their terms.

Subject to applicable law (including Brazilian tender exchange offer regulations and Rule 14d-4(d)(1) under the Exchange Act, which requires that any material change in the information published, sent or given to shareholders in connection with the exchange offer be promptly disseminated to security holders in a manner reasonably designed to inform security holders of that change) and without limiting the manner in which LAN may choose to make any public announcement, neither LAN nor Holdco II assumes any obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any public announcement of this type, as explained below, other than by issuing a press release on the Dow Jones News Service. In addition, LAN will post notice of any such extension on LAN’s website at www.lan.com and LATAM’s website at www.latamairlines.com. The information on such websites is not a part of this offer to exchange/prospectus and is not incorporated by reference herein.
 
LAN will cause Holdco II to extend the exchange offer, to the extent required by the US federal securities laws (including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act) and permitted under applicable Brazilian law and regulations, if LAN:
 
 
·
makes a material change to the terms of the exchange offer; or
 
 
·
makes a material change in the information concerning the exchange offer.
 
If LAN changes the consideration being offered, or the percentage of TAM shares and TAM ADSs sought, in the exchange offer within ten US business days of the then scheduled expiration date, the exchange offer will be extended so that it will expire no less than ten US business days after the change is first published, sent or given to holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs in order to allow adequate dissemination and investor response to the change.

Procedure for Tendering
 
The steps you must follow in order to tender your TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer differ according to whether you hold TAM shares or TAM ADSs and whether you hold your shares directly or through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. If you hold TAM shares, you will need to choose among the three different ways you may tender your TAM shares.
 
If you hold TAM ADSs, you may tender your TAM ADSs into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent who will receive and hold tendered TAM ADSs for exchange on behalf of Holdco II and, if the exchange offer is completed, will exchange such TAM ADSs for LAN ADSs.
 
TAM ADSs may not be sold in the Auction to be held on Bovespa. While you could withdraw the TAM shares represented by your TAM ADSs and tender those TAM shares through the US exchange agent or, if you are a QIB, in the Auction, it may not be in your best interests to do so because:
 
If you tender your TAM shares through the US exchange agent:
 
 
·
You will have to register your investment in your TAM shares in Brazil as a 4,131 investment,
 
 
·
You will have to pay IOF in Brazil at the 2% rate on the foreign exchange transaction related to the registration of the TAM shares as a 4,131 investment, and
 
 
·
You may have to pay capital gains tax in Brazil.
 
If you are a QIB and tender your TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa:
 
 
·
You will have to register your investment in your TAM shares in Brazil as a 2,689 investment,
 
 
·
You will receive LAN BDSs instead of LAN ADSs,
 
 
·
You will have to pay IOF in Brazil at the 2% rate on the foreign exchange transaction related to the registration of the TAM shares as a 2,689 investment,
 
 
·
You will have to pay IOF in Brazil at the rate of 0.38% of the value of the LAN BDSs you receive,
 
 
·
You will have to pay a combined fee to Bovespa and CD in an amount equal to 0.0345% of the value of the exchange transaction,
 
 
·
You will have to represent and warrant that you and any person on whose behalf you hold your TAM shares are QIBs,
 
 
·
You will have to agree that for six months after the settlement date of the exchange offer you will only resell your LAN BDSs or the LAN common shares they represent in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Exchange Act (which may be difficult because Bovespa is not a “designated offshore securities market” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S), and
 
 
-119-

 

 
·
If you want to withdraw the LAN common shares represented by the LAN BDSs you will receive pursuant to the exchange offer, you will have to pay a withdrawal fee to the LAN BDS depositary of between R$0.02 and R$0.05 per LAN common share (depending on how many LAN common shares you withdraw).
 
If you hold TAM ADSs and would like to tender them into the exchange offer, you should follow the procedures described in this section below under “—Holders of TAM ADSs”. LAN has retained J.P. Morgan Chase Bank to act as the US exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer.
 
If you hold TAM shares, there are three possible ways to tender them into the exchange offer:
 
 
·
You can tender you TAM shares through the US exchange agent, who will receive and hold the tendered TAM shares on behalf of Holdco II and, if the exchange offer is completed, will exchange such TAM shares for LAN ADSs,
 
 
·
You can deposit your TAM shares into the applicable TAM ADR program, receive TAM ADSs representing your deposited TAM shares and tender those TAM ADSs through the US exchange agent, or
 
 
·
If (but only if) you are a QIB, you can tender your TAM shares in the Auction to be held on Bovespa if you make the representations, warranties and agreements described below.
 
In deciding which method you should use to tender your TAM shares into the exchange offer, you should consider the following:
 
 
·
If you tender your TAM shares through the US exchange agent:
 
 
o
You will have to convert you investment in TAM shares in Brazil from a 2,689 investment to a 4,131 investment,
 
 
o
You will receive LAN ADSs and will not have to pay any deposit fee to the LAN ADS depositary,
 
 
o
You will not have to pay any fees to Bovespa or CD,
 
 
o
You will not have to pay any IOF, and
 
 
o
You may have to pay capital gains tax in Brazil.
 
 
·
If you deposit your TAM shares into the applicable TAM ADR program, receive TAM ADSs representing your deposited TAM shares and tender those TAM ADSs through the US exchange agent:
 
 
o
You will receive LAN ADSs,
 
 
o
You will not have to pay any deposit fee to the TAM depositary or to the LAN ADS depositary,
 
 
o
You will not have to pay any fees to Bovespa or CD,
 
 
o
You will have to pay IOF in Brazil at the rate of 1.5% of the market value of the TAM shares you deposit; and
 
 
o
You may have to pay capital gains tax in Brazil.
 
 
·
If you are a QIB and tender your TAM shares in the Auction:
 
 
o
You will receive LAN BDRs instead of LAN ADRs,
 
 
o
You will not have to pay any deposit fee to the LAN BDS depositary,
 
 
o
You will have to pay IOF in Brazil at the rate of 0.38% of the value of the LAN BDRs you receive,
 
 
-120-

 
 
 
o
You will have to pay a combined fee to Bovespa and the CD in an amount equal to 0.0345% of the value of the exchange transaction,
 
 
o
You will have to represent and warrant that you and any person on whose behalf you hold your TAM shares are QIBs,
 
 
o
You will have to agree that for six months after the settlement date of the exchange offer you will only resell your LAN BDSs or the LAN common shares they represent in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Exchange Act (which may be difficult because Bovespa is not a “designated offshore securities market” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S), and
 
 
o
If you want to withdraw the LAN common shares represented by the LAN BDSs you will receive pursuant to the exchange offer, you will have to pay a withdrawal fee to the LAN BDS depositary of between R$0.02 and R$0.05 per LAN common share (depending on how many LAN common shares you withdraw).
 
If you hold TAM shares and you are or hold TAM shares on behalf of a QIB, and you would like to tender them in the Auction on Bovespa, you should follow the procedures described in this section below under “—Holders of TAM Shares—Tenders of TAM Shares in the Auction.” If you hold TAM shares and would like to tender them through the US exchange agent, you should follow the procedures described in this section below under “—Holders of TAM Shares—Tenders of TAM Shares Through the US Exchange Agent.” If you hold TAM shares and would like to deposit them in the applicable TAM ADR program, receive TAM ADSs representing your deposited TAM shares and tender those TAM ADSs through the US exchange agent, you should deposit your TAM shares in the applicable TAM ADR program and tender the TAM ADSs representing your deposited TAM shares by following the procedures described in this section below under “—Holders of TAM ADSs—Tenders of TAM ADSs Through the US Exchange Agent.”
 
For more information on the Brazilian and US tax consequences of the various methods of tendering your TAM ADSs or TAM shares, see the “Tax Consequences” section below beginning on page 132.
 
You must follow the procedures described below in a timely manner in order to tender your TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer.
 
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF TAM SHARES OR TAM ADSs, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING DOCUMENTS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE PROCEDURES OF THE BROKER, DEALER, COMMERCIAL BANK, TRUST COMPANY OR OTHER NOMINEE THROUGH WHICH YOU MAY HOLD YOUR TAM SHARES OR TAM ADSs) IS AT YOUR ELECTION AND RISK. TAM SHARES AND TAM ADSs TO BE TENDERED IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER THROUGH THE US EXCHANGE AGENT WILL BE DEEMED DELIVERED ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE US EXCHANGE AGENT (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, BY BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION). IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, LAN AND HOLDCO II RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE PROPERLY INSURED REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY TAM SHARES OR TAM ADSs, LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL OR OTHER DOCUMENTS TO LAN OR HOLDCO II DIRECTLY.
 
ALL HOLDERS WISHING TO TENDER THEIR TAM SHARES OR TAM ADSs MUST ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THE COMPLETION OF ALL REQUIRED STEPS DESCRIBED IN THIS OFFER TO EXCHANGE/PROSPECTUS BEFORE THE APPLICABLE TENDER DEADLINE.

 
-121-

 

Holders of TAM ADSs
 
Tender of TAM ADSs through the US Exchange Agent
 
If you hold TAM ADSs directly in the form of TAM ADRs and you would like to tender them in the exchange offer, you must complete and sign the enclosed letter of transmittal and return it together with your TAM ADRs and all other required documentation to the US exchange agent at the appropriate address specified on the back cover page of this offer to exchange/prospectus no later than the US Tender Deadline (which is 5:00 p.m., Eastern time (8:00 p.m., São Paulo time) on the day immediately preceding the expiration date). The US exchange agent will receive and hold all such TAM ADSs for the benefit of Holdco II and, acting in its capacity as the TAM depositary, will certify to Bovespa, Holdco II, LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders the total number of TAM shares represented by TAM ADSs that have been validly tendered through the US exchange agent into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer as of 9:00 a.m., Eastern time (12:00 (noon), São Paulo time) (which we refer to as the “Tender Certification Time”) on the expiration date. If all the exchange offer conditions, including the minimum conditions, have been satisfied or waived by the relevant parties as of the Auction Tender Deadline, then the TAM ADSs will be accepted for exchange in the exchange offer. LAN will deposit the LAN common shares issuable in respect of the TAM ADSs accepted for exchange in the exchange offer with the LAN ADS depositary, and the LAN ADS depositary will then issue to the US exchange agent LAN ADSs representing such LAN common shares and transmit to the US exchange agent the cash it receives in lieu of fractional shares, and the US exchange agent will distribute such LAN ADSs and such cash to the holders of TAM ADSs acquired in the exchange offer.
 
If you hold TAM ADSs indirectly through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and would like to tender them into the exchange offer, you must, no later than the US Tender Deadline, request that your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee tender your TAM ADSs to the US exchange agent (i) in the form of TAM ADRs, together with a duly executed and properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) in book-entry form using the ATOP system and cause DTC to send an agent’s message (as defined below) to the US exchange agent’s account at DTC no later than the US Tender Deadline. The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the US exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that the DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering the shares which are the subject of such book-entry confirmation, that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal and that LAN and Holdco II may enforce such agreement against the participant.
 
In order to instruct your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to tender your TAM ADSs in book-entry form, you must complete, execute, detach and return to your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee the enclosed instruction form. The instruction form must be forwarded to that broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee sufficiently in advance of the US Tender Deadline so that the broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee can effect such tender through the US exchange agent on your behalf prior to the US Tender Deadline.
 
Delivery of documents to DTC will not constitute delivery to the US exchange agent.
 
Except as otherwise provided below, all signatures on the enclosed letter of transmittal must be guaranteed by a financial institution (including most banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a participant in good standing in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the NYSE Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program, or is otherwise an “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act) (which we refer to collectively as “eligible institutions”). Signatures on the letter of transmittal need not be guaranteed (1) if the letter of transmittal is signed by the registered holder of the TAM ADSs to be tendered and the holder has not completed either Box 2:  “Special Issuance Instructions” or Box 3:  “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal or (2) if the TAM ADSs to be tendered are held for the account of an eligible institution.
 
The method of delivery of letters of transmittal, TAM ADRs and any other required documents is at your sole option and risk. Letters of transmittal, TAM ADRs and any other required documents will be deemed delivered only when actually received by the US exchange agent. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery by the US Tender Deadline.
 
No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders of TAM ADSs will be accepted, and no fractional TAM ADSs will be purchased. By executing the letter of transmittal, you waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of your TAM ADSs for exchange.

 
-122-

 

All properly completed and duly executed letters of transmittal, TAM ADRs and any other required documents or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, all agent’s messages, delivered to the US exchange agent by you or on your behalf will be deemed, without any further action by the US exchange agent, to constitute acceptance by you of the exchange offer with respect to your TAM ADSs tendered in the exchange offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this offer to exchange/prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal.
 
If your TAM ADSs are not accepted for exchange for any reason, the TAM ADRs evidencing your TAM ADSs or your TAM ADSs in book-entry form will be returned as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer or your proper withdrawal of the TAM ADSs from the exchange offer, as applicable. In the case of TAM ADSs in book-entry form, such return will be effected by crediting such TAM ADSs to the account at DTC from which they were transferred.
 
TAM ADSs in respect of which a tender has been made will be held in an account controlled by the US exchange agent, and consequently you will not be able to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of such securities until such time as (i) you withdraw your TAM ADSs from the exchange offer, (ii) your TAM ADSs have been exchanged for LAN ADSs (in which case you will only be able to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the LAN ADSs received in respect of your TAM ADSs), or (iii) your TAM ADSs have been returned to you if the exchange offer expires or is terminated or because they were not accepted for exchange.
 
Withdrawal of TAM Shares Represented by TAM ADSs
 
If you or your nominee holds TAM ADSs and you want to tender the TAM shares represented by those TAM ADSs into the exchange offer using one of the methods described in this section below under “―Holders of TAM Shares”, you or your nominee must first withdraw the TAM shares represented by your TAM ADSs by:
 
 
·
surrendering your TAM ADSs to the custodian of the TAM depositary, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017, by either delivering the TAM ADRs which evidence your TAM ADSs or your TAM ADSs in book-entry form using the ATOP system; and
 
 
·
paying any taxes or governmental charges payable in connection with such withdrawal.
 
Before surrendering your TAM ADSs to the TAM depositary for withdrawal and receiving the TAM shares represented by your TAM ADSs, you must register the TAM shares to be withdrawn at CD and you will need to obtain a foreign investor registration under Resolution No. 2,689/00 if you are a QIB and intend to tender such TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa or as a direct investment outside the financial and capital markets under Law 4,131/62  if you intend to tender such TAM shares into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent. If you intend to tender such TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa, you must appoint a Brazilian representative for purposes of Resolution No. 2,689/00 and make arrangements for that representative to tender your TAM shares on your behalf. You will need to take these steps sufficiently in advance of the applicable Tender Deadline so as to allow your Brazilian representative to effect such tender. For more information about this registration process, see “The Exchange Offer—Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Registering Under Resolution No. 2,689/00 and Law 4,131/62” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 151.
 
There are potential disadvantages to withdrawing the TAM shares represented by your TAM ADSs and tendering those TAM shares in the exchange offer which are described in this section above under “—Procedures for Tendering.”
 
Holders of TAM Shares
 
Tender of TAM Shares through the US Exchange Agent
 
If you hold TAM shares directly and you would like to tender them through the US exchange agent, you must first convert your investment in Brazil from a 2,689 investment to a 4,131 investment).

 
-123-

 

In order to convert your 2,689 investment into a 4,131 investment, you will need to take the following steps:
 
 
·
contact the Brazilian share registrar, provide it with (a) a copy of your Brazilian Tax Number, (b) documentary evidence that you are a holder not deemed to be domiciled in Brazil for Brazilian tax purposes (which we refer to as a “non-Brazilian holder”), (c) a power of attorney appointing a representative in Brazil to represent you under the applicable corporate legislation and to receive service of process, and ask the Brazilian share registrar to enroll you with the Registry of Resident or Non-Resident Individuals and Legal Entities of the Central Bank of Brazil (which refer to as “CADEMP”), and (d) to register the investment with the Central Bank of Brazil;
 
 
·
TAM will obtain the registry number that will link the CADEMP of the investor and TAM with the Central Bank of Brazil (which we refer to as “RDE-IED”);
 
 
·
Based on the date agreed upon for the conversion, the custodian for the investor’s 2,689 investment (which we refer to as a “2,689 account custodian”) will update the 2,689 registration with the Central Bank of Brazil in order to reflect the current market value of the 2,689 investment;
 
 
·
The 2,689 account custodian will execute the foreign exchange transactions. For purposes of the Brazilian foreign exchange regulations, the conversion of the 2,689 investment in TAM into a 4,131 investment in TAM requires the execution of two simultaneous foreign exchange transactions, one to be entered into by the 2,689 account custodian, representing the return of the 2,689 investment in TAM to abroad and another one to be entered into by TAM or the Brazilian share registrar, as the Brazilian entity receiving the 4,131 investment; and
 
 
·
the Brazilian share registrar will update the investor’s RDE-IED with the Central Bank of Brazil in order to reflect the amount and the number of shares represented by such 4,131 investment.
 
You may have to pay capital gains tax in connection with this transaction and your 2,689 account custodian may withhold such taxes. You should consult your 2,689 account custodian to confirm if capital gains tax will be assessed in this transaction.
 
Once your investment in your TAM shares has been effectively converted to a 4,131 investment, you can tender your TAM shares through the US exchange agent at any time prior to the US Tender Deadline (which is 5:00 p.m., Eastern time (8:00 p.m., São Paulo time) on the day immediately preceding the expiration date) by taking the following actions: _____*
 
The US exchange agent will receive and hold all such TAM shares for the benefit of Holdco II and, acting in its capacity as the TAM depositary, will certify to Bovespa, Holdco II, LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders the total number of TAM shares that have been validly tendered into and not withdrawn from the exchange offer as of the Tender Certification Time. If all the exchange offer conditions, including the minimum conditions, have been satisfied or waived by the relevant parties as of the Auction Tender Deadline, then the TAM shares will be accepted for exchange in the exchange offer. LAN will deposit the LAN common shares issuable in respect of the TAM shares accepted for exchange in the exchange offer with the LAN ADS depositary, and the LAN ADS depositary will then issue to the US exchange agent LAN ADSs representing such LAN common shares and transmit to the US exchange agent the cash it receives in lieu of fractional shares, and the US exchange agent will distribute such LAN ADSs and such cash to the holders of TAM shares acquired in the exchange offer.
 
If you hold TAM shares indirectly through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to arrange for your investment in your TAM shares to be converted from a 2,689 investment to a 4,131 investment and thereafter to tender your TAM shares on your behalf through the US exchange agent using the procedures described above. You must ensure that your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee receives your instructions and any required documentation sufficiently in advance of the US Tender Deadline so that it can effect such tender on your behalf prior to the US Tender Deadline and pay any fees or commissions charged by such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to make such tender.

Tender of TAM ADSs through the US Exchange Agent
 
If you or your nominee holds TAM shares directly and you would like to tender them through the US exchange agent in the form of TAM ADSs, you must first deposit your TAM shares with the custodian of the TAM depositary for the applicable TAM ADR program and pay all applicable taxes or other governmental charges payable in connection with such deposit. Upon such deposit, the TAM ADSs representing your TAM shares will be delivered to you or your nominee in the form of TAM ADRs or TAM ADSs in book entry form and may be tendered through the US exchange agent using the procedures described above under “—Holders of TAM ADSs—Tender of TAM ADSs Through the US Exchange Agent.” The TAM depositary has agreed to waive any deposit fees otherwise payable in connection with such deposit. You will need to take these steps sufficiently in advance of the US Tender Deadline so that you can validly tender the TAM ADSs representing your TAM shares through the US exchange agent.
 
If you hold TAM shares indirectly through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to arrange for your TAM shares to be deposited with the custodian of the TAM depositary of the applicable TAM ADR program and thereafter to tender the TAM ADSs representing your TAM shares on your behalf through the US exchange agent using the procedures described above under “—Holders of TAM ADSs—Tender of TAM ADSs Through the US Exchange Agent.” You must ensure that your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee receives your instructions and any required documentation sufficiently in advance of the US Tender Deadline so that it can validly effect such tender on your behalf prior to the US Tender Deadline and pay any fees or commissions charged by such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to make such tender.
 
Tenders of TAM Shares in the Auction
 
The Auction on Bovespa is being conducted pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Regulation S. As a result, in order to participate in the Auction, holders of TAM shares must represent that they are not, and do not hold on behalf of, investors located in the United States or who are U.S. persons (as each such term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) (which we collectively refer to as “US investors”) unless such holders and their investors are QIBs. Holders of TAM shares who are, or who hold on behalf of, US investors that are QIBs may participate in the Auction to be held on Bovespa on the basis of the private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
As a result, holders of TAM shares who are, or who hold on behalf of, US investors may only participate in the Auction to be held on Bovespa if they represent, warrant and agree that they and any US investors for whom they hold the TAM shares:
 
 
·
are acquiring the LAN BDRs for their own account or the account of one or more other QIBs pursuant to the private placement exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for investment and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any resale or distribution that would violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
 
 
·
understand and agree that the LAN BDRs they will receive and the LAN common shares represented by such LAN BDRs have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities law,
 
 
-125-

 

 
·
agree that for six months after the settlement of the exchange offer they will offer and sell the LAN BDRs they receive and/or the LAN common shares represented by such LAN BDRs only in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, and
 
 
·
have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and sufficient access to information that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of LAN BDRs and the LAN common shares represented thereby and are capable of bearing the economic risks of an investment in such LAN BDRs and LAN common shares.
 
If you are a QIB and hold TAM shares directly in your own name and would like to tender your TAM shares in the Auction to be held on Bovespa, you must, no later than Auction Tender Deadline (which is currently 12:00 (noon), Eastern time (3:00 p.m., São Paulo time), on the expiration date) either personally or by means of a duly appointed proxy, contact a broker authorized to conduct trades on Bovespa, present the documentation required by the letter of transmittal and request that the broker tender your TAM shares on your behalf in the Auction. In order to tender your TAM shares, your broker must (no later than the Auction Tender Deadline) present a sell order on your behalf. You must pay any fee or commission charged by your broker in connection with tendering your shares.
 
TAM shares held directly are generally held either through CD or through Itaú. CD is the custodian for TAM shares that are traded on Bovespa, and settlement of the exchange offer will occur through the facilities of CD. If you invested in TAM shares under Resolution No. 2,689/00, you hold your TAM shares through CD and you should ask your Brazilian representative for purposes of Resolution No. 2,689/00 to contact CD on your behalf.
 
If you hold your TAM shares through Itaú, you should ask your broker to request the transfer of your shares to the custody of CD in order to enable the broker to tender your TAM shares on your behalf. Before it will accept an order to transfer TAM shares to CD, Itaú will generally check the personal information it maintains on file for you against the personal information that you provided to the broker in submitting your letter of transmittal to make sure that the information is the same. If there are inconsistencies between these records, Itaú will not transfer the shares. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide to your broker is consistent with that in Itaú’s records. It is also your responsibility to contact a broker sufficiently in advance of the Auction Tender Deadline to ensure that Itáu can transfer your shares to the custody of CD before the Auction Tender Deadline.
 
If you do not know whether you hold your TAM shares through CD or Itaú, you should inquire with your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee.
 
TAM shares transferred to CD and tendered into the exchange offer through the Auction on Bovespa may be traded up until the Auction Tender Deadline. You must ensure that you give your broker your tender instructions and any required documentation sufficiently in advance of the Auction Tender Deadline so that they can effect such tender prior to the Auction Tender Deadline and pay any fees or commissions charged by the broker to make such tender.
 
If you are a QIB and you tender TAM shares directly in the Auction, you must pay a combined fee to Bovespa and CD in an amount equal to 0.0345% of the value of the exchange transaction. In addition, any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee that tenders TAM shares on your behalf in the exchange offer may charge a fee or commission for doing so. You should consult your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to determine what fees or commissions may apply.
 
If you are a QIB and hold TAM shares indirectly through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to tender your shares in the Auction to be held on Bovespa on your behalf as provided above in this section no later than the Auction Tender Deadline. You must ensure that your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee receives your instructions and any required documentation sufficiently in advance of the Auction Tender Deadline so that you can effect such tender prior to the Auction Tender Deadline and pay any fees or commissions charged by such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to make such tender.

If you are a QIB and you tender your TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa, in order to make such tender you will be required to deliver a similar power of attorney in favor of ______ with respect to your TAM shares, Holdco II shares, LAN BDSs and LAN BDRs.
 
Representations and Warranties of Holders
 
By tendering your TAM shares or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer, you will represent and warrant to LAN and Holdco II that you have full power and authority to accept the exchange offer and to sell, assign, and transfer the TAM shares or TAM ADSs in respect of which the exchange offer is being accepted or deemed to be accepted (and any and all securities or rights issued or issuable in respect thereof) and, when Holdco II accepts such TAM shares or TAM ADSs for exchange, LAN and Holdco II will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances and other third party interests, and together with all rights now or hereinafter attaching thereto, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive all amounts payable to a holder thereof in respect of dividends, interests and other distributions, if any, if the record date for distributions occurs after the date on which shares are accepted by Holdco II for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer. In addition, by tendering TAM shares or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer, you will be deemed to have approved the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements. If you are, or hold on behalf of, a QIB and you tender your TAM shares directly in the Auction to be held on Bovespa, you will be required to make the representations, warranties and agreements described above in this section under “—Procedures for Tendering—Holders of TAM Shares—Tender of TAM Shares in the Auction.”

Validity of Tender
 
LAN will determine questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for exchange of any tender of TAM shares or TAM ADSs, in LAN’s sole discretion, and LAN’s determination shall be final and binding. LAN reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of TAM shares or TAM ADSs that LAN determines are not in proper form or the acceptance of or exchange for which may be unlawful. LAN also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any TAM shares or TAM ADSs of any particular holder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other holders. No tender of TAM shares or TAM ADSs will be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities in tenders of TAM shares or TAM ADSs have been cured or waived. None of LAN, Holdco II, the US exchange agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the tender of any TAM shares or TAM ADSs, and none of them will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. LAN’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the acceptance forms and instructions thereto, will be final and binding.

Withdrawal of Tenders in the Auction
 
If you are a QIB and hold your TAM shares in your own name, you or your Brazilian representative must contact the broker that has been instructed to tender your TAM shares into the Auction to be held on Bovespa on your behalf and instruct the broker to withdraw the order to tender those TAM shares before the Auction Withdrawal Deadline and must provide any documentation required by the broker. Any tender of TAM shares will be irrevocable after that time. If you wish to withdraw the tender of your TAM shares, it is your responsibility to ensure that the broker that has been instructed to tender your TAM shares receives instructions to withdraw the tender of those shares sufficiently in advance of the Auction Withdrawal Deadline. If you wish to withdraw your TAM shares from the exchange offer, you are strongly advised to contact your broker well before the Auction Withdrawal Deadline.
 
If you are a QIB and hold your TAM shares indirectly through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you tendered them pursuant to the procedures of such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you must follow the broker’s, dealer’s, commercial bank’s, trust company’s or other nominee’s procedures in order to withdraw your shares.

Instead of any such fractional shares, you will receive an amount in cash in US dollars based on the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the last trading day immediately preceding the effective time of the mergers (as reported in www.bolsadesantiago.com) and the Chilean observed exchange rate published by the Central Bank of Chile on such date.

Settlement and Delivery of Securities

For a description of Chilean, Brazilian and United States federal income tax consequences of these dividend payments, see “—Tax Consequences” below in this section.
 
Tax Consequences
 
Brazilian Tax Consequences
 
The following discussion summarizes the material Brazilian tax consequences of the exchange offer with respect to the TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs by a holder not deemed to be resident in Brazil for Brazilian tax purposes (which we refer to as a “non-Brazilian holder”). This discussion does not address all the Brazilian tax considerations that may be applicable to any particular non-Brazilian holder, and each non-Brazilian holder should consult its own tax advisor about the Brazilian tax consequences of tendering TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs in the exchange offer. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences under the tax laws of any state or locality of Brazil or any other jurisdiction.

According to Law No. 10,833 enacted on December 29, 2003, the disposition of assets located in Brazil by a non-Brazilian holder to either a Brazilian resident or a non-resident may be subject to capital gains taxation in Brazil, regardless of whether the disposition occurs outside or within Brazil.
 
Under Brazilian law, capital gains taxation rules vary depending on the residency of the non-Brazilian holder, the type of registration of the investment by the non-Brazilian holder with the Central Bank of Brazil and how the disposition is carried out, as outlined below.
 
A non-Brazilian holder can hold two different kinds of investments in Brazil: (i) a 4,131 investment; or (ii) a 2,689 investment. We refer to holders of a 2,689 investment as “2,689 investors”.
 
The IOF (Imposto Sobre Operações Financeiras) is a tax on foreign exchange, securities/bonds, credit and insurance transactions. The Minister of Finance establishes the rates of the IOF tax, subject to limits set forth by law.
 
Pursuant to Decree No. 6,306 of December 14, 2007, as amended, the conversion of real into foreign currency and the conversion of foreign currency into real (each of which we refer to as a “foreign exchange transaction”) are subject to the IOF (which we refer to as the “IOF/Exchange”). Under the IOF regulations currently in force in Brazil, the Minister of Finance is empowered to establish the applicable IOF/Exchange rate.  Such IOF/Exchange rate can be increased at any time up to a rate of 25%.  The above-mentioned Decree sets forth that the current general IOF/Exchange rate is 0.38%.
 
The IOF may also be levied on transactions involving bonds or securities, including transactions carried out on Brazilian stock, futures or commodities exchanges (which we refer to as “IOF/Títulos tax”). The IOF/Títulos current general rate is zero percent for transactions carried out in the equity markets in Brazil, including those performed in stock, futures and commodities exchanges and similar markets. The Executive branch of the Brazilian government, however, has the legal power to increase the rate up to a maximum of 1.5% of the amount of the taxed transaction for each day of the investor’s holding period, but only to the extent of gain realized on the transaction and only on a prospective basis. Currently, the IOF/Títulos is assessed at the rate of 1.5% on the deposit of shares issued by a Brazilian company and listed for trading on the Brazilian stock exchange with the specific purpose of enabling the issuance of depositary receipts traded outside Brazil.

The non-Brazilian holders that tender their TAM ADSs in the exchange offer through the US exchange agent will receive in exchange LAN ADSs. Although there is no clear guidance in the Brazilian tax legislation addressing the capital gains tax consequences of an exchange transaction involving American Depositary Shares of a Brazilian company, the exchange of TAM ADSs for LAN ADSs in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers should not be taxable in Brazil based on the fact that: (i) the TAM ADSs should be considered as a foreign asset; and (ii) the exchange of TAM ADSs for LAN ADSs alone would not result in any Brazilian sourced income to the non-Brazilian holder. However, as the current Brazilian tax legislation does not provide clear guidance in this respect, there is a risk that the Brazilian tax authorities may treat such a transaction as subject to capital gains tax in Brazil at the rate of 15% (or 25% if the non-Brazilian holder is located in a tax haven jurisdiction), plus potential interest and fines.
 
Non-Brazilian holders of TAM ADSs may withdraw the TAM shares underlying their TAM ADSs from the applicable TAM ADR program and tender the TAM shares underlying those TAM ADSs using one of the methods described above under “Procedures for Tendering—Holders of TAM Shares.” The withdrawal of TAM shares from the applicable TAM ADR program does not give rise to capital gains taxation in Brazil.

IOF/Exchange
 
Brazilian law imposes IOF/Exchange on the conversion of real into foreign currency and on the conversion of foreign currency into real.
 
As the exchange of TAM ADS for LAN ADS does not result in the execution of any foreign exchange transaction, no IOF/Exchange tax will be due on that exchange.
 
Withdrawal of TAM Shares Represented by TAM ADSs
 
The withdrawal of TAM ADSs from the applicable TAM ADR program and receipt of the underlying TAM shares requires the execution of a notional foreign exchange transaction (i.e., a foreign exchange transaction that does not result in the actual flow of funds). If you withdraw the TAM shares underlying your TAM ADSs and convert your investment into a 2,689 investment, the IOF/Exchange tax at a 2% rate will be imposed on that transaction. If you withdraw the TAM shares underlying your TAM ADSs and convert your investment into a 4,131 investment, although there is no clear guidance in this respect, the IOF/Exchange tax at a 2% rate should also be imposed on that transaction.
 
Taxation of the Non-Brazilian Holders of TAM Shares
 
Tender of TAM Shares through the US Exchange Agent
 
Capital Gains Tax
 
If you hold TAM shares directly and you would like to tender them through the US exchange agent in exchange for LAN ADS through the US exchange agent, you must first convert your investment from a 2,689 investment to a 4,131 investment in Brazil.
 
According to the Central Bank Regulations, the conversion of the 2,689 investment to a 4,131 investment must be made at market value based on current trading price of the shares. Please note that, if the market value exceeds the original acquisition cost of the 2,689 investment, the non-Brazilian holder would recognize capital gain in Brazil on the transaction and the tax consequences applicable to such gain are discussed below.
 
In principle, the conversion of the 2,689 investment into a 4,131 investment should not be taxable, as the conversion would not result in any Brazilian sourced income to the non-Brazilian holder. However, this is a controversial issue and there is a risk that the Brazilian tax authorities could impose a tax on the non-Brazilian holder for the capital gain recognized in the transaction.
 
If this transaction is taxable in Brazil, the tax treatment of the transaction would differ depending on whether the non-Brazilian holder is eligible for the tax benefits granted to 2,689 investors. In principle, on the disposition of a 2,689 investment, the non-Brazilian holder should be entitled to the tax benefits granted to 2,689 investors as described below. However, tax authorities may take the position that the tax benefits are only applicable if the disposition of the 2,689 investment is carried out on the Bovespa or an organized over-the-counter market regulated by the CVM. Please note that this is a controversial issue and a careful risk assessment should be made by each investor.
 
If the tax benefits granted to 2,689 investors are applicable to the conversion: (a) non-Brazilian holders located in a non-tax haven jurisdiction would be exempt from capital gains tax in Brazil; and (ii) non-Brazilian holders located in a tax haven jurisdiction would be subject to capital gains tax in Brazil at the rate of 15%. We note that the United States is not considered as a tax haven jurisdiction for Brazilian law purposes. If the tax benefits granted to 2,689 Investors are not applicable: (a) non-Brazilian holders in a non-tax haven jurisdiction would be subject to capital gains tax in Brazil at the rate of 15%; and (ii) non-Brazilian holders located in tax haven jurisdictions would be subject to capital gains tax in Brazil at the rate of 25%.

 
-134-

 
 
As a second step, the exchange of the 4,131 investment in TAM shares for the LAN ADSs would not be subject to any capital gains tax if the amount of the LAN ADSs received in exchange for the TAM shares is equal or lower than the amount of the 4,131 investment held by the non-Brazilian holder in TAM shares, as registered in the Central Bank of Brazil (which we refer to as the “registered cost” of the 4,131 investment). However, if the amount of the LAN ADSs received in exchange for the TAM shares is greater than the registered cost (a) non-Brazilian holders in a non-tax haven jurisdiction would be subject to capital gains tax at the rate of 15%; and (ii) non-Brazilian holders located in tax haven jurisdictions would be subject to capital gains tax at the rate of 25%.
 
If a non-Brazilian holder receives cash in connection with the exchange offer, the difference between the cash received and the registered cost of the portion of the TAM shares exchanged for cash could be subject to capital gains tax in Brazil, according to the rules described in this section.
 
Converting the registration of your investment in TAM shares from a 2,689 investment into a 4,131 investment is a pre-condition for you to tender your TAM shares through the US exchange agent and there is a risk that the offer is not completed and you remain with a 4,131 investment in TAM shares. If the exchange offer is not consummated, you will not be able to recover any taxes paid in connection with converting your 2,689 investment into a 4,131 investment. In addition, if the exchange offer is not completed, you may also want to convert your 4,131 investment back into a 2,689 investment, in which case you will be subject to IOF tax at a rate of 2% and to capital gains taxation at the rate of 15% or 25% (for non-Brazilian holders located in tax haven jurisdictions) on any gains.
 
IOF/Exchange
 
The conversion of an 2,689 investment into a 4,131 investment will be implemented by means of a notional exchange transaction (i.e., a foreign exchange transaction that does not result in the actual flow of funds). In this sense, the “outflow leg” (representing the return of the 2,689 investment) would be subject to IOF at a rate of 0% and the “inflow leg” (representing the 4,131 investment) would also be subject to IOF at a rate of 0%.
 
The exchange of the 4,131 investment in TAM shares for the LAN ADSs would not constitute a foreign exchange transaction under applicable Brazilian law and no IOF would apply.
 
Deposit of TAM shares for TAM ADSs
 
If you hold TAM shares directly and you would like to tender them through the US exchange agent in the form of TAM ADSs in exchange for LAN ADSs, you must first deposit your TAM shares with the custodian for the applicable TAM ADR program.  The potential tax consequences of depositing your TAM shares with the custodian for the applicable TAM ADR program is discussed below. For a discussion of the potential tax consequences to you of tendering the TAM ADSs representing your TAM shares through the US exchange agent, see “—Taxation of the Non-Brazilian Holders of TAM ADSs—Tender of TAM ADSs through the US Exchange Agent” in this section above.
 
Capital Gains Tax
 
The deposit of TAM shares in a TAM ADR program in exchange for the TAM ADSs by a non-Brazilian holder will be subject to Brazilian capital gains tax on the amount of the capital gain realized on such exchange. The amount of the capital gain will generally be equal to the difference between the registered cost of the TAM shares held by the non-Brazilian holder in TAM shares, as registered in the Central Bank of Brazil, and the average price of the TAM shares, calculated as follows:
 
 
·
the average price of TAM shares sold on that day on the Brazilian stock exchange on which the greatest number of such shares were sold on the day of deposit; or
 
 
·
if no TAM shares were sold on that day, the average price of a TAM share on the Brazilian stock exchange on which the greatest number of TAM shares were sold during the 15 preceding trading sessions.

 
-135-

 
 
The difference between the registered cost and the average price of the TAM shares, calculated as set forth above, is treated as capital gain subject to tax at a rate of 15%, or 25% for non-Brazilian holders who are in tax-haven jurisdictions. Although there is no clear regulatory guidance in Brazil, such taxation should not apply in the case of non-Brazilian holders that are 2,689 investors located in a non-tax haven jurisdiction, who should not be subject to income tax in such a transaction.
 
However, tax authorities may take the position that the tax benefits (i.e., exemption from capital gains tax) applicable to 2,689 investments are only applicable if the disposition of the securities is carried out on the Bovespa or an organized over-the-counter market regulated by the CVM. Please note that this is a controversial issue and a careful risk assessment should be made by each investor.
 
If the tax benefits granted to 2,689 investors who are located in a non-tax haven jurisdiction are not applicable to the deposit of TAM shares in exchange for the TAM ADSs, then such transaction would be subject to capital gains tax at the rate of 15%.
 
IOF/Títulos
 
IOF/Títulos may also be levied on transactions involving bonds or securities, including transactions carried out on Brazilian stock, futures or commodities exchanges. The IOF/Títulos general rate is currently zero for transactions carried out in the equity markets in Brazil, including those performed in stock, futures and commodities exchanges and similar markets. However, the IOF/Títulos is assessed at the rate of 1.5% on the deposit of shares issued by a Brazilian company and listed for trading on the Brazilian stock exchange with the specific purpose of enabling the issuance of depositary receipts traded outside Brazil. Therefore the deposit of TAM shares in the applicable TAM ADR program will be subject to IOF at 1.5% rate.
 
Tender of TAM Shares in the Auction
 
Capital gains tax
 
If you are a QIB and tender your TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa in exchange for LAN BDSs, such exchange will not result in any Brazilian sourced income to the non-Brazilian holder and therefore such exchange should not be subject to capital gains tax in Brazil.
 
If this transaction is deemed as taxable by the Brazilian tax authorities, the tax treatment of the transaction would differ depending on whether the non-Brazilian holder is located in a tax haven jurisdiction. The non-Brazilian holders resident in a non-tax haven regular jurisdiction would be exempt from capital gains tax on such gains; and the non-Brazilian holders resident in tax haven jurisdictions would be subject to capital gains tax at the rate of 15%.
 
IOF/Exchange
 
The tender of TAM shares in the Auction in exchange for LAN BDRs will be implemented by means of two simultaneous foreign exchange transactions, one representing the outflow of funds from Brazil for investment in LAN BDRs and another one representing the inflow of the investment of LAN in TAM. The inflow foreign exchange contract would be subject to the IOF at 0% and outflow foreign exchange contract would be subject to the IOF at 0.38%.
 
Taxation on the Statutory Squeeze Out
 
Taxation of the non-Brazilian holders of TAM shares
 
Capital gains tax
 
If the TAM shares of a non-Brazilian holder are redeemed for cash by TAM pursuant to the statutory squeeze out, the capital gain recognized by the non-Brazilian holder in the transaction will be subject to capital gains tax in Brazil at the rate of 15% (regular rate) or 25% (for investors located in tax haven jurisdictions).

 
-136-

 
 
IOF/Exchange
 
The remittance of funds abroad to the non-Brazilian holder as a return of a 2,689 investment is subject to the IOF at a rate of 0%.
 
Taxation of the non-Brazilian holders of TAM ADSs
 
Capital gains tax
 
If the TAM shares underlying the TAM ADSs of a non-Brazilian holder are redeemed for cash by TAM pursuant to the statutory squeeze out, the capital gain recognized by the non-Brazilian holder in the transaction will be subject to capital gains tax in Brazil at the rate of 15% (regular rate) upon the remittance made by the Brazilian custodian to the depositary of the applicable TAM ADR program.
 
IOF/Exchange
 
The remittance of funds by the Brazilian custodian to the depositary of the applicable TAM ADR program will be subject to the IOF/Exchange at the rate of 0.38%.
 
Other Brazilian Taxes
 
There are no Brazilian stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of TAM shares in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers.
 
Chilean Tax Consequences
 
The following discussion relates to Chilean income tax laws presently in force, including Ruling N°324 of January 29, 1990 of the Chilean IRS and other applicable regulations and rulings, all of which are subject to change. The discussion summarizes the material Chilean tax consequences of an investment in LAN common shares, LAN BDSs (evidenced by LAN BDRs) or LAN ADSs (evidenced by LAN ADRs), by a person who is neither domiciled in, nor a resident of Chile or by a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a branch or a permanent establishment located in Chile (we refer to such an individual or entity as a “non-Chilean holder”). For purposes of Chilean tax laws, an individual is a resident of Chile if such person has resided in Chile for more than six months in one calendar year or for a total of more than six months in two consecutive tax years. In addition, an individual is considered domiciled in Chile in case he or she resides in Chile with the actual or presumptive intent of staying in the country. Further, an entity is a resident of Chile if it has been incorporated or formed in Chile.
 
This summary does not purport to deal with the tax consequences of the exchange offer applicable to all categories of investors, some of whom may be subject to special rules. Holders should consult their own advisors concerning the receipt, ownership, and disposition of LAN common shares, LAN BDSs (evidenced by LAN BDRs) or LAN ADSs (evidenced by LAN ADRs) in light of their particular situations, as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
 
Under Chilean law, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign investors, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may only be amended by another statute. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities enact rulings and regulations of either general or specific application and interpret the provisions of Chilean tax laws. Chilean taxes may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on circulars, rulings, regulations, interpretations and other official documents issued by the National Director or Regional Directors of the Chilean IRS, however Chilean tax authorities may change these circulars, rulings, regulations, interpretations and other official documents prospectively. According to Article 26 of the Chilean Tax Code, it is presumed by law that the taxpayer is aware of such changes from the date they are published in the Chilean Official Gazette. The income tax treaty between Chile and Brazil entered into effect on July 24, 2003 and applies to income obtained or amounts paid, credited, put at the disposal or accounted for as an expense as of January 1, 2004. Note that as of the date hereof, the income tax treaty between Chile and the United States dated February 4, 2010 has not yet been ratified in Chile and, as a result, is not currently in force.

 
-137-

 
 
In general, non-Chilean residents are subject to Chilean income taxes on their Chilean source income. Chilean source income derives from assets located in Chile or activities carried out within the country, regardless the residence or domicile of the taxpayer. For purposes of the Chilean ITL shares or equity rights of entities not incorporated or organized in Chile are deemed assets not located in Chile. Although the Chilean ITL does not contain a specific provision establishing the place where BDRs (evidencing BDSs) or ADRs (evidencing ADSs) representing the shares of common stock of a Chilean entity should be deemed located for Chilean tax purposes, certain rulings issued by the Chilean IRS (including, Ruling N° 324 of January 29, 1990) have set forth the tax treatment applicable to ADRs. In such rulings, the Chilean tax authorities have construed that income obtained by a non-Chilean holder from securities issued by a foreign entity abroad representing the shares of a Chilean entity (such as ADRs) should not be deemed Chilean source income.
 
Unlike in the case of ADRs, the Chilean IRS has not yet issued a ruling addressing the tax treatment applicable to BDRs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ruling N° 3,807 of September 27, 2000 issued by the Chilean IRS stated that the tax treatment afforded to ADRs could also be extended to another foreign security representing the shares of a Chilean entity (namely, “Unidades de Registro” issued in the Spanish Securities Market), provided that the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros de Chile (the Chilean Securities Commission, which we refer to as the “SVS”) expressly confirms that the characteristics of such foreign security are equivalent to those of ADRs and that such foreign securities are issued in compliance with all the relevant rules and regulations issued by the Central Bank of Chile on this matter.
 
Thus, based on the criterion stated in Ruling N° 3,807 and assuming that the SVS expressly confirms that LAN BDRs (evidencing LAN BDSs) qualify as foreign securities representing the shares of a Chilean entity, the characteristics and mechanism of which are equivalent to LAN ADRs (evidencing LAN ADSs), and that such LAN BDRs should comply with the same rules and regulations issued by the SVS and the Central Bank of Chile governing the issuance of ADRs, the same tax treatment afforded to LAN ADRs should be applicable to LAN BDRs (circumstances and tax treatment that are assumed for purposes of the analysis contained in this section).
 
Tax Consequences for non-Chilean holders of the Merger of Holdco II into LAN
 
In general, as a result of the merger of Holdco II into LAN, non-Chilean holders receiving LAN common shares in exchange for their participation as shareholders of Holdco II should not be subject to Chilean income taxes in connection with the referred exchange of shares (canje). Based on the interpretations of the Chilean IRS, LAN common shares that non-Chilean holders receive in exchange for their shares in Holdco II should be deemed to represent the same rights such non-Chilean holders had in Holdco II prior to the merger as shareholders of the same. For Chilean tax purposes, the tax basis of non-Chilean holders in such LAN common shares will be the tax basis of Holdco II shares. Additionally, the acquisition date of the LAN common shares delivered to non-Chilean holders will be that of the acquisition of Holdco II shares by such non-Chilean holders.
 
According to the terms of the exchange offer, prior to the merger of Holdco II into LAN, the LAN ADS depositary and the LAN BDS depositary will be registered as shareholders of Holdco II as a result of the contribution of TAM ADSs and TAM shares into Holdco II, respectively. Provided that the Central Bank of Chile authorizes that as a result of the capital increase approved by the shareholders of LAN in connection with the merger by incorporation (fusión por incorporación) of Holdco II into LAN, newly issued LAN common shares are received by the LAN ADS depositary and the LAN BDS depositary from LAN (as the registered shareholders of Holdco II) and such LAN common shares are registered under the name of the LAN ADS depositary and LAN BDS depositary for purposes of the issuance of LAN ADSs (evidenced by LAN ADRs) and LAN BDSs (evidenced by LAN BDRs), respectively, in compliance with Chilean laws and regulations issued by the Central Bank of Chile and the SVS on this matter, the issuance and delivery of LAN ADSs (evidenced by LAN ADRs) and LAN BDSs (evidenced by LAN BDRs) by the LAN ADS depositary and LAN BDRs depositary, respectively, to non-Chilean holders abroad should not be subject to Chilean income taxes.

Cash Dividends and Other Distributions
 
Cash dividends LAN pays with respect to LAN common shares, LAN BDSs (evidenced by LAN BDRs) or LAN ADSs (evidenced by LAN ADRs) held by a non-Chilean holder will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, which LAN withholds and pay over to the Chilean tax authorities (which we refer to as the “Withholding Tax”). A credit against the Withholding Tax is available based on the corporate income tax LAN actually paid (if any) on the income to which the dividend is attributed according to the provisions of the Chilean ITL and the interpretations of the Chilean IRS (which we refer to as the “First Category Tax”); however, this credit does not reduce the Withholding Tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases the base on which the Withholding Tax is imposed. If LAN registers net income (book profits) but taxable losses, no credit against the Withholding Tax will be available.
 
Currently, the First Category Tax rate is 20%, but is scheduled to be reduced to 18.5% with respect to income accrued or perceived during calendar year 2012 and to 17% with respect to income accrued or perceived during calendar year 2013 and onwards. In general, the example below illustrates the effective Withholding Tax burden on a cash dividend received by a non-Chilean holder as a consequence of a hypothetical distribution of 30% of LAN’s consolidated net income after payment of the First Category Tax, assuming a Withholding Tax rate of 35%. The second column assumes an effective First Category Tax rate of 17% and the actual payment of such First Category Tax at that 17% rate, and the third column assumes an effective First Category Tax rate of 20% and the actual payment of such First Category Tax at that 20% rate:
 
The Company’s taxable income
    100.00       100.00  
First Category Tax (20% of CLP$100)
    (17 )     (20 )
Net distributable income
    83.00       80.00  
Dividend distributed (30% of net distributable income)
    24.9       24.0  
First Category Tax increase
    5.1       6.0  
Withholding Tax (35% of the sum of Ch$24 dividend plus
               
CLP$6.0 First Category Tax paid)
    (10.5 )     (10.5 )
Credit for 20% of First Category Tax
    5.1       6.0  
Net tax withheld
    (5.4 )     (4.5 )
Net dividend received
    19.5       19.5  
Effective dividend withholding rate
    21.69 %     18.75 %

In general, the effective dividend Withholding Tax rate, after giving effect to the credit for the First Category Tax, can be calculated using the following formula:
 
(Withholding Tax rate) – (First Category Tax effective rate)
1 – (First Category Tax effective rate)

Under Chilean ITL, dividends generally are assumed to have been paid out of LAN’s oldest retained taxable profits for purposes of determining the rate of First Category Tax that LAN paid. The effective rate of Withholding Tax to be imposed on dividends LAN pays will vary depending upon the amount of First Category Tax LAN paid (if any) on the earnings to which the dividends are attributed, according to the provisions of the Chilean ITL. For dividends attributable to LAN’s profits during years when the First Category Tax was 10% (before 1991), the effective rate will be 27.78%. The effective Withholding Tax rate for dividends attributed to earnings from 1991 until 2001, for which the First Category Tax rate was 15%, will be 23.53%. For 2002, the First Category Tax rate was 16.0%, which results in an effective rate of 22.62%. In 2003, the First Category Tax rate was 16.5%, which results in an effective rate of 22.16%, and from 2004 to 2010, the First Category Tax rate was 17%, which resulted in an effective rate of Withholding Tax of 21.69%. For 2011, the First Category Tax rate is 20.0%, which is expected to result in an effective rate of 18.75%. For 2012, the First Category Tax rate will be 18.5%, which is expected to result in an effective rate of 20.25%. From 2013 onwards, the First Category Tax rate will be 17.0%, which is expected to result in an effective rate of 21.69%.
 
However, whether the First Category Tax is 10%, 15%, 16%, 16.5%, 17%, 18.5% or 20%, the effective overall combined tax rate imposed on LAN’s distributed profits will be 35%. Whether the First Category Tax is imposed or not, the effective overall combined rate of Chilean taxes imposed with respect to LAN’s distributed profits would be 35%. Nevertheless, in the case that the retained taxable profits or exempted profits as of December 31 of the year preceding a dividend distribution are not sufficient to cover such dividend, LAN will make a withholding of 35% of the amount that exceeds those retained taxable or exempted profits. In case such withholding is determined to be excessive at the end of the year, non-Chilean holders will have rights to file for the reimbursement of the excess withholding.

 
-139-

 
 
Dividend distributions made in kind would be subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends based on the fair market value of such property. Stock dividends and the distribution of preemptive rights are not subject to Chilean taxation.
 
Capital Gains on the Disposition of LAN common shares, LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs
 
Gains from the sale or other disposition by a non-Chilean holder of LAN BDRs (evidencing LAN BDSs) or LAN ADRs (evidencing LAN ADSs) outside Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation. The withdrawal of common shares in exchange for BDSs or ADRs will not be subject to any Chilean taxes.
 
Gains recognized on a sale or disposition by a non-Chilean holder of LAN common shares (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of LAN BDRs (evidencing LAN BDSs) or LAN ADRs (evidencing LAN ADSs) representing such LAN common shares) may be subject to both the First Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter) if:
 
 
·
the non-Chilean holder has held the LAN common shares for less than one year since exchanging LAN ADSs (or LAN BDSs, if applicable) for the LAN common shares;
 
 
·
the non-Chilean holder acquired and disposed of the LAN common shares in the ordinary course of its business or as a habitual trader of shares; or
 
 
·
the non-Chilean holder and the purchaser of the LAN common shares are “related parties” or has an interest in the latter within the meaning of Section 17, Number 8, of the Chilean ITL.
 
In all other cases, gains on the disposition of LAN common shares will be subject only to a capital gains tax which is assessed at the same rate as the First Category Tax, as sole income tax (currently levied at a rate of 20%) and no Withholding Tax will apply. The sale of LAN common shares by a non-Chilean holder to an individual or entity resident or domiciled in Chile is subject to a provisional withholding. Such a provisional withholding will be equal to (i) 5% of the total amount (sale price), without any deduction, paid to, remitted to, accounted for, put at the disposal of, or corresponding to, the non-Chilean holder if the transaction is subject to the First Category Tax, as a sole tax. The above is applicable unless the gain subject to taxation can be determined, in which case the withholding will be equal to the First Category Tax on the gain, or (ii) 20% of the total amount (the sale price) without any deduction, paid to, remitted to, accounted for, put at the disposal of, or corresponding to, the non-Chilean holder if the transaction is subject to the general tax regime, that is, the First Category Tax, and the Withholding Tax, with a credit of the First Category Tax already paid. The non-Chilean holder would be entitled to request a tax refund for any amounts withheld in excess of the taxes actually due, in April of the following year upon filing its corresponding tax return. Although debatable, a recent ruling issued by the Chilean IRS sustains that the above-mentioned provisional withholding also applies when both the seller and purchaser are non-Chilean residents (Ruling N° 492 of February 25, 2011).
 
Pursuant to Section 107 of the Chilean ITL, gains recognized in the sale of shares of common stock that are publicly traded and have a high presence in the stock exchange are not subject to capital gains tax in Chile, provided that the shares of common stock are sold (i) on a Chilean stock exchange authorized by the SVS, (ii) within the process of a public tender of shares of common stock governed by Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, or (iii) as a result of the contribution of securities into a mutual fund under the provisions of Section 109 of the Chilean ITL.
 
The shares of common stock must also have been acquired (i) on a Chilean stock exchange authorized by the SVS, (ii) within the process of a public tender of shares of common stock governed by Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, (iii) in an initial public offer of shares of common stock resulting from the formation of a corporation or a capital increase of the same, (iv) in an exchange of public offered securities convertible into shares, or (v) as a result of the redemption of securities subject to the provisions of Section 109 of the Chilean ITL. Shares of common stock are considered to have a high presence in the stock exchange when they:
 
 
·
are registered in the securities registry;

 
-140-

 
 
 
·
are registered in a Chilean stock exchange; and
 
 
·
have an adjusted presence equal to or above 25%.
 
To calculate the adjusted presence of a particular share, the aforementioned regulation first requires a determination of the number of days in which the operations regarding the stock exceeded, in Chilean pesos, the equivalent of 200 Unidades de Fomento (US$8,546.29 as of September 30, 2011) within the previous 180 business days of the stock market. That number must then be divided by 180, multiplied by 100, and expressed in a percentage value.
 
By means of Circular N° 35 of June 16 2008, the Chilean IRS has construed that the tax treatment set forth by Section 107 (formerly, Section 18Ter) of the Chilean ITL would also be applicable in case of shares of common stock acquired as a result of the exchange of shares (canje) in a merger by incorporation (fusión por incorporación) between two Chilean entities, when the absorbed entity is a Chilean publicly traded stock corporation without high presence in the stock exchange and the absorbing entity is a Chilean publicly traded stock corporation, with high presence in the stock exchange.
 
Capital gains obtained in the sale of shares of common stock that are publicly traded and have a high presence in a stock exchange are also exempt from capital gains tax in Chile when the sale is made by “foreign institutional investors” such as mutual funds and pension funds, provided that the sale is made on a Chilean stock exchange authorized by the SVS or within the process of a public tender of shares of common stock governed by Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law.
 
To qualify as a foreign institutional investor, an entity must be formed outside of Chile, not have a domicile in Chile, and must be at least one of the following:
 
 
(i)
a fund that offers its shares of common stock or quotas publicly in a country with investment grade public debt, according to a classification performed by an international risk classification entity qualified as such by the SVS;
 
 
(ii)
a fund registered with a regulatory agency or authority from a country with investment grade public debt, according to a classification performed by an international risk classification entity qualified as such by the SVS, provided that its investments in Chile constitute less than 30% of the value of its total assets, including certificates issued abroad representing Chilean securities, such as ADRs of Chilean companies;
 
 
(iii)
a fund whose investments in Chile represent less than 30% of the value of its total assets, including certificates issued abroad representing Chilean securities, such as ADRs of Chilean companies, provided that not more than 10% of the equity of the fund or the rights to the profits of the fund taken as a whole are directly or indirectly owned by Chilean residents;
 
 
(iv)
a pension fund that is formed exclusively by individuals that receive pensions out of the accumulated capital in the fund or which main purpose is to finance the establishment or increase of pensions of individuals, provided such pension fund is subject to the control or surveillance of the relevant regulatory authorities in its home country;
 
 
(v)
a Foreign Capital Investment Fund regulated by Law No. 18,657, in which case all quota holders shall be foreign residents or domestic institutional investors; or
 
 
(vi)
any other foreign institutional investor that complies with the requirements set forth in the general Regulations for each category of investor, provided a previous report on the subject matter has been issued by the SVS and the Chilean IRS.
 
The foreign institutional investor must not directly or indirectly participate in the control of the corporations issuing the securities it invests in, nor possess or participate directly or indirectly in 10% or more of the capital or the profits of such issuers, except for investment in quotas issued by mutual funds governed by Decree Law No. 1,328 of 1976.

 
-141-

 
 
Another requirement for the exemption is that the foreign institutional investor must execute a written contract with a bank or a stock broker incorporated in Chile. In this contract, the bank or stock broker must undertake to execute purchase and sale orders, verify, at the time of the remittance, the applicability of a tax exemption or that the applicable tax withholding has been made. Furthermore, the bank or stock broker is obligated to inform the Chilean IRS about the transactions and remittances it performs and to register with the Chilean IRS by means of a sworn statement. This sworn statement should include the following information:  (i) that the foreign institutional investor complies with the requirements set forth by the Chilean ITL or the regulations issued in this regard; (ii) that the foreign institutional investor does not have a permanent establishment in Chile; and (iii) that the foreign institutional investor will not participate in the control of the entities in which securities it has invested. Additionally, the statement must include the identification of the representative of the fund manager or institution making the investment, and an indication of the bank in which the foreign currencies were liquidated, the source and the amount of such currencies.
 
In the case the bank that liquidated the foreign currency necessary for the investment is not appointed as intermediary agent, such bank will be obliged to inform the Chilean IRS, at the tax authority’s sole request, the origin and amount of the foreign currency liquidated.
 
In the case of the institutional investors referred to in (i) to (v), the above-mentioned tax treatment would apply only with respect to investments made acting on its own account and as beneficial owner of such investments, excluding those investment made acting on account of third parties or when the beneficial owner of the same is a third party. Compliance with this requirement must be verified by means of a sworn statement submitted to the Chilean IRS.
 
If any of the institutional investors eligible for this tax benefit ceases to comply with any of the requirements referred to above, such circumstance must be informed to the Chilean IRS by the intermediary agent, within term and procedure established by the tax authority.
 
The tax basis of LAN common shares received in exchange for LAN BDSs and LAN ADSs will be the acquisition value of the LAN common shares on the date of exchange duly adjusted for local inflation. For purposes of tax Ruling N°324 of January 29, 1990 and Ruling N°3708 of October 1, 1999, the valuation procedure set forth in the deposit agreement, which values shares of common stock which are being exchanged at the highest reported sales price at which they trade on the SSE on the day on which the transfer of such share from the applicable depositary of the LAN BDR program or LAN ADR program, as applicable, to the non-Chilean holder is recorded on LAN's share registrar, will determine the acquisition value for this purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the deposit agreement provides that in the event that the exchanged shares are sold by the non-Chilean holder on a Chilean stock exchange on the same day on which the transfer is recorded on LAN's share registrar or within two Chilean business days prior to the date on which the sale is recorded on such registrar, the acquisition value of such exchanged shares shall be the price registered in the invoice issued by the stockbroker that participated in the sale transaction. Consequently, the surrender of LAN BDSs or LAN ADSs for LAN common shares and the immediate sale of these LAN common shares on a Chilean stock exchange for the value established under the deposit agreement will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile, provided that the sale of the LAN common shares is made on the same date on which the exchange of LAN BDSs or LAN ADSs for these shares is recorded or within two days prior to the date on which the exchange is recorded.
 
The exercise of preemptive rights relating to the LAN common shares will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Any gain on the sale of preemptive rights relating to the LAN common shares will be subject to both the First Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter).
 
Other Chilean Taxes
 
There are no Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of LAN BDSs or LAN ADSs by a non-Chilean holder, but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by gift of the shares of common stock by a non-Chilean holder. There are no Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by non-Chilean holders of LAN BDSs (evidenced by LAN BDRs) or LAN ADSs (evidenced by LAN ADRs) or shares of common stock.

Withholding Tax Certificates
 
Upon request, LAN will provide to non-Chilean holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of the Withholding Tax.
 
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
The following is a description of the material US federal income tax consequences of the exchange offer with respect to the TAM shares (including TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares) and TAM ADSs and of the receipt, ownership and disposition of the LAN shares (including LAN common shares, LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs). This discussion addresses only US holders (as defined below) that will hold such shares as capital assets.
 
This section does not describe all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to any particular holder of TAM shares, TAM ADSs or LAN shares, including certain aspects of US federal income taxation that may be applicable to a holder subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including, but not limited to, banks or other financial institutions, regulated investment companies, holders that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of any class of stock of TAM, holders that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of any class of stock of LAN, entities that are treated for US federal income tax purposes as partnerships or other pass-through entities, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, brokers or dealers in securities or foreign currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, holders that acquired shares pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation, persons holding common shares, ADSs or BDSs as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or a straddle, holders that do not meet the definition of US holder (as defined below), and US holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the US dollar.
 
The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed US treasury regulations, rulings and court decisions as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified (with possible retroactive effect) so as to result in US federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. In addition, this section is based in part upon the representations of the applicable LAN depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreements relating to the LAN ADRs and LAN BDRs and any related agreements will be performed in accordance with their terms.
 
This discussion does not address the state, local or foreign tax consequences (or other tax consequences such as estate or gift tax consequences) of the exchange offer with respect to the TAM shares and TAM ADSs or of the receipt, ownership and disposition of LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs.
 
Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of the exchange offer with respect to the TAM shares and TAM ADSs and of the receipt, ownership, and disposition of LAN shares in light of their particular situations, as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
 
If a partnership holds the TAM shares, TAM ADSs or LAN shares, the US federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the TAM shares, TAM ADSs or LAN shares should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to them.
 
As used in this subsection “—United States Federal Income Tax Consequences,” the term “US holder” means a beneficial holder of TAM shares, TAM ADSs or LAN shares that is:  (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) a trust if (i) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable US Treasury Regulations to be treated as a US person, or (4) an estate that is subject to US federal income tax on its income regardless of its source.

 
-143-

 
 
Consequences of the Exchange Offer
 
The receipt of LAN ADSs, LAN BDSs or cash in exchange for TAM shares or TAM ADSs pursuant to the exchange offer will be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes. Because LAN believes that TAM is not, and has not been, a passive foreign investment company (which we refer to as a “PFIC”), a US holder of TAM shares or TAM ADSs will generally recognize gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the US dollar value of the amount it realizes on the exchange and (ii) the US holder’s tax basis in the TAM shares or TAM ADSs exchanged.
 
The amount a US holder realizes on the exchange should be equal to the fair market value of any LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs received in the exchange and the US dollar value of any cash received in consideration for fractional TAM shares or TAM ADSs or received in full consideration for TAM shares or TAM ADSs as part of the statutory squeeze out.
 
Gain or loss must be calculated separately for each block of TAM shares or TAM ADSs exchanged by the US holder. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the TAM shares or TAM ADSs have been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a noncorporate US holder generally is subject to preferential tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
 
Brazilian taxes that may be imposed on a US holder upon the receipt of LAN ADSs, LAN BDSs or cash in exchange for TAM shares or TAM ADSs pursuant to the exchange offer will generally be treated as foreign income taxes eligible for credit against a US holder’s US federal income tax liability or for deduction in computing such US holder’s US federal taxable income. Any gain or loss generated by the sale of the TAM shares or TAM ADSs by a US holder will generally be treated as US source gain or loss. Accordingly, a US holder may not be able to use the tax credit arising from any Brazilian tax imposed on the disposition of the TAM shares or TAM ADSs unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources in the appropriate income category. The IOF/Exchange tax imposed on certain foreign exchange transactions (discussed above under “—Brazilian Tax Consequences”) will not be treated as creditable foreign tax for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The calculation and availability of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a US holder that elects to deduct foreign income taxes, the availability of deductions, involves the application of complex rules that depend on a US holder’s particular circumstances. US holders should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the availability of foreign tax credits and the application of the foreign tax credit limitations in light of their particular situations.
 
Consequences of the Receipt, Ownership and Disposition of LAN shares
 
In general, if you are a US holder of LAN ADRs or LAN BDRs evidencing LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs, you will be treated, for US federal income tax purposes, as the beneficial owner of the underlying LAN common shares that are represented by those ADSs or BDSs and evidenced by those ADRs or BDRs.
 
Taxation of Dividends
 
Distributions of cash or property (other than stock distributed pro rata to all LAN shareholders) paid out of LAN’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for US federal income tax purposes) with respect to LAN shares, including the net amount of the Chilean Withholding Tax withheld on the distribution (after taking into account the credit for the First Category Tax), will be included in a US holder’s gross income as ordinary income on the day a US holder, in the case of LAN common shares, or the applicable LAN depositary, in the case of the LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs, receives the dividends, and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code. Dividends paid in Chilean pesos generally will be included in a US holder’s gross income in a US dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the US holder or the applicable LAN depositary receives the dividends. US holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any Chilean pesos received which are converted into US dollars after they are received. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds LAN’s current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for US federal income tax purposes, such excess amounts will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of such US holder’s tax basis in the LAN shares and, thereafter, as capital gain.

 
-144-

 
 
LAN does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under US federal income tax principles. Accordingly, US holders should assume that any distribution made by LAN (other than stock distributed pro rata to all LAN shareholders, as discussed above) will be treated as a dividend for US federal income tax purposes.
 
Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the US dollar amount of dividends received by a noncorporate US holder in taxable years before January 1, 2013 with respect to the LAN ADSs will be subject to taxation at a maximum rate of 15% if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Dividends paid on the LAN ADSs will be treated as qualified dividends if:
 
 
·
The LAN ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States; and
 
 
·
LAN was not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and is not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a PFIC.
 
The LAN ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. Moreover, based on LAN’s audited financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, LAN believes that it was not treated as a PFIC for US federal income tax purposes with respect to LAN’s 2009 or 2010 taxable year. In addition, based on LAN’s audited financial statements and LAN’s current expectations regarding the value and nature of LAN’s assets, the sources and nature of LAN’s income, and relevant market and shareholder data, LAN does not anticipate becoming a PFIC for LAN’s 2011 taxable year. However, there can be no assurance in this regard because the PFIC determination is made annually and is based on the portion of LAN’s assets and income that is characterized as passive under the PFIC rules.
 
Because the LAN common shares and LAN BDSs are not expected to be listed on any US securities market, the US dollar amount of dividends received with respect to LAN common shares and LAN BDSs (including dividends received by a noncorporate US holder in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013) will be subject to taxation at ordinary income tax rates.
 
Subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions under the Code, Chilean Withholding Tax withheld from dividends (after taking into account the credit for the First Category Tax, when it is available) will be treated as a foreign source income tax eligible for credit against a US holder’s US federal income tax liability or for deduction in computing such US holder’s US federal taxable income. If the amount of Chilean Withholding Tax initially withheld from a dividend is determined to be excessive, however (as described above under “Tax Consequences—Chilean Tax Consequences—Cash Dividends and Other Distributions”), the excess tax will not be creditable or deductible. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on the LAN shares will generally constitute foreign source “passive income.” US holders are not allowed foreign tax credits for withholding taxes imposed in respect of certain short-term or hedged positions in securities and may not be allowed foreign tax credits in respect of arrangements in which their expected economic profit is insubstantial. US holders should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the availability of foreign tax credits and the application of the foreign tax credit limitations in light of their particular situations.
 
Taxation of Capital Gains or Losses
 
If you are a US holder, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of LAN shares generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the LAN shares have been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a noncorporate US holder generally is subject to preferential tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 
-145-

 
 
Chilean taxes that may be imposed on a US holder upon the disposition of the LAN common shares (as described above under “Tax Consequences—Chilean Tax Consequences—Capital Gains on the Disposition of LAN shares, LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs”) will generally be treated as foreign income taxes eligible for credit against a US holder’s US federal income tax liability or for deduction in computing such US holder’s US federal taxable income. Any gain or loss recognized by a US holder on the sale or other disposition of the LAN shares generally will be treated as US source gain or loss. Accordingly, a US holder may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Chilean tax imposed on the disposition of the LAN common shares (as described above under “Tax Consequences—Chilean Tax Consequences—Capital Gains on the Disposition of LAN shares, LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs”) unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources in the appropriate income category. The calculation and availability of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a US holder that elects to deduct foreign income taxes, the availability of deductions, involves the application of complex rules that depend on a US holder’s particular circumstances. US holders should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the availability of foreign tax credits and the application of the foreign tax credit limitations in light of their particular situations.
 
Deposits and withdrawals of LAN common shares by US holders in exchange for LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes.
 
Medicare Tax
 
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a US holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the US holder’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the US holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). A US holder’s net investment income will generally include its gross dividend income and its net gains from the disposition of the LAN shares unless such dividend payments or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If a holder is a US holder that is an individual, estate or trust, it is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in the LAN shares.
 
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
 
In general, proceeds from the exchange of TAM shares or TAM ADSs, dividends paid on the LAN shares, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the LAN shares may be subject to the information reporting requirements of the Code unless the US holder establishes, if required, that it is a corporation or otherwise eligible for exemption. Backup withholding may apply to amounts subject to reporting unless the US holder provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or otherwise establishes a basis for exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a US holder will be allowed as a credit against the US holder’s US federal income tax liability and may entitle the US holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the US Internal Revenue Service.
 
Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets
 
Individuals that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following, but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions:  (i) stocks and securities issued by non-US persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-US issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in foreign entities. US holders that are individuals are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this legislation to their receipt and ownership of LAN shares.

 
-146-

 
 
Brokerage Commissions
 
If you tender TAM shares into the exchange offer through the Auction, you must pay a combined fee to Bovespa and CD in an amount equal to 0.0345% of the value of the exchange transaction. In addition, if your TAM shares or TAM ADSs are tendered into the exchange offer by your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you will be responsible for any fees or commissions they may charge you in connection with such tender. Finally, you will be responsible for all governmental charges and taxes payable in connection with tendering your TAM shares or TAM ADSs.
 
Listing of LAN Common Shares, LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs
 
Santiago Stock Exchange
 
LAN common shares are currently listed on the SSE in Chile.
 
Bovespa
 
LAN submitted an application to the CVM to list the LAN BDSs representing LAN common shares to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers for trading on Bovespa. The application is expected to become effective and trading is expected to commence no later than the effective time. LAN expects that the LAN BDSs to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers will trade under ISIN ____________.
 
New York Stock Exchange
 
The LAN ADS depositary submitted an application to list the LAN ADSs representing LAN common shares to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers for trading on the NYSE. The application is expected to become effective no later than the effective time. LAN ADSs currently trade under the symbol “LFL” on the NYSE.
 
Appraisal Rights
 
There are no appraisal or similar rights available to TAM shareholders in connection with the exchange offer or the mergers. Brazilian law requires TAM to obtain an appraisal report as to the economic value per share of TAM and LAN. TAM obtained the Appraisal Report from the Appraiser that was rendered as of ____, 2011. For more information about the Appraisal Report, see the “TAM Board of Directors’ Recommendation—Appraisal Report” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 109.
 
Under Chilean law, holders of LAN common shares (including LAN common shares represented by LAN ADSs) will be entitled to appraisal rights (derecho a retiro) under Chilean law in connection with approval of the mergers.
 
Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters
 
General
 
Except as otherwise disclosed in this section, based on an examination of publicly available filings with respect to TAM and materials provided to LAN by or on behalf of TAM in connection with LAN’s due diligence review, LAN is not aware of any licenses or other regulatory permits which appear to be material to the business of TAM and its subsidiaries and which might be adversely affected by the acquisition of TAM shares and TAM ADSs by LAN in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers or of any approval or other action by any governmental, administrative or regulatory agency or authority which would be required for the acquisition or ownership of TAM shares and TAM ADSs by LAN in connection with the proposed combination.

 
-147-

 
 
As discussed above under the “—Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 172, the exchange offer is subject to the condition that none of the required approvals be revoked or amended, modified or supplemented in any way that could reasonably be expected to materially impede or interfere with, delay, postpone or materially and adversely affect the completion of the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements. While LAN does not expect any of the required approvals to be revoked or supplemented in any way, there can be no assurances that the relevant regulators will not take such action or that litigation challenging these approvals will not be commenced, any of which could cause LAN or the TAM controlling shareholders to elect to terminate the exchange offer without the acceptance of TAM shares or TAM ADSs thereunder. There can likewise be no assurance that any other non-US or US federal or state regulatory authorities will not attempt to challenge the proposed combination on antitrust grounds or for other reasons, or, if a challenge is made, as to the results of the challenge.
 
Competition and Antitrust
 
One of the conditions to the commencement of the exchange offer was that all the required approvals from the ANAC in Brazil, the TDLC in Chile, the applicable antitrust authorities in Spain and Germany and certain other governmental entities have been obtained. The discussion that follows provides information regarding the status of the filings with these regulators.
 
Chile
 
On September 21, 2011, the TDLC issued the Decision with respect to the consultation procedure initiated on January 28, 2011 by Conadecus in connection with the proposed combination. The persons and entities that were accepted as intervening parties in the consultation procedure, among others, are the following:  Conadecus, as consultant, FNE, Sky Airline, PAL, ACHET, a Chilean travel agents association, LAN, LAN Cargo and TAM L.A.
 
The TDLC, in the Decision, approved the proposed combination between LAN and TAM, subject to 14 conditions, as generally described below:
 
 
·
exchange of certain slots in the Guarulhos airport at São Paulo, Brazil;
 
 
·
extension of the frequent flyer program to airlines operating or willing to operate the Santiago-São Paulo, Santiago-Río de Janeiro, Santiago-Montevideo and Santiago-Asunción routes during the five-year period from the effective time of the mergers;
 
 
·
execution of interline agreements with airlines operating the Santiago-São Paulo, Santiago-Río de Janeiro and Santiago-Asunción routes;
 
 
·
certain capacity and offer transitory restrictions applicable to the Santiago-São Paulo route;

the obligation of LATAM to form part of one single global airline alliance within 24 months from the date in which the merger becomes effective, except in case the TDLC approves otherwise or to elect not to participate in any global airline alliance;
 
 
·
certain restrictions on codeshare agreements outside the global airline alliance to which LATAM belongs or with Avianca/TACA or GOL, for routes with origin or destination in Chile and, or that connects to, North America and Europe, as applicable, including the obligation to consult with the TDLC prior to its execution certain of those codeshare agreements.
 
 
·
the abandonment of four air traffic frequencies with fifth freedom rights between Chile and Perú and limitations on acquiring in excess of 75% of the air traffic frequencies in that route and the period that certain air traffic frequencies may be granted by the Chilean air transport authorities to LAN;

 
-148-

 
 
 
·
issuance of a statement by LATAM supporting the unilateral opening of the Chilean domestic skies (cabotage) and abstention from any actions that would prevent such opening;
 
 
·
promotion by LATAM of the growth and normal operation of the Guarulhos (Brazil) and Arturo Merino Benítez (Chile) airports, to facilitate access thereto to other airlines;
 
 
·
certain restrictions regarding incentives to travel agencies;
 
 
·
to maintain temporarily 12 round trip flights per week between Chile and the United States and at least seven round trip non-stop flights per week between Chile and Europe;
 
 
·
certain transitory restrictions on increasing fares in the Santiago-São Paulo and Santiago-Río de Janeiro routes for the passenger business and for the Chile- Brazil routes for the cargo business; and
 
 
·
engaging an independent international consultant, expert in airline operations, which for 36 months, and in coordination with the FNE, will monitor and audit compliance with the conditions imposed by the Decision.
 
On October 3, 2011, PAL filed an appeal in order to have the Chilean Supreme Court revoke the Decision issued by the TDLC approving the proposed combination subject to the conditions described above. On October 25, 2011 LAN reached an agreement with PAL pursuant to which (i) PAL abandoned the appeal before the Chilean Supreme Court and undertook to terminate all actions or proceedings that it initiated, as well as to desist from initiating new proceedings, aimed at blocking the proposed combination between LAN and TAM, and (ii) LAN paid PAL $5,000,000.
 
On October 3, 2011, LAN also filed an appeal seeking the amendment or elimination, as applicable, of the following three conditions set forth in the Decision:
 
 
·
amendment of the seventh condition regarding mandatory prior consultation with the TDLC for the execution of certain codeshare agreements in order to eliminate the obligation to submit such agreements to the prior approval of the TDLC, replacing it with the obligation to notify the FNE of any such agreements.
 
 
·
elimination of the eighth condition regarding the abandonment of four air traffic frequencies between Chile and Perú; and
 
 
·
amendment of the fourteenth condition regarding the independent consultant in order to limit and modify the intrusive and inspection powers granted to both the FNE and the consultant with respect to LAN and TAM.
 
Likewise, on the same date, TAM L.A. filed an appeal seeking amendment of the seventh condition of the Decision.
 
It is expected that the Chilean Supreme Court will render a final decision with respect to the above-mentioned appeals within the next four to six months.
 
Brazil
 
On September 3, 2010, TAM and LAN submitted a merger filing before the Brazilian Antitrust System, composed of CADE, the Secretaria de Direito Econômico (Ministry of Justice, which we refer to as the “SDE”) and the Secretaria de Acompanhamento Econômico (Ministry of Finance, which we refer to as the “SEAE”). The filing was made based on the Memorandum of Understanding, executed by the parties on August 13, 2010. As per the request of the parties, the SEAE suspended its analysis of the merger filing until the parties had taken more definitive steps with respect to the proposed combination. On October 21, 2010, the parties informed SEAE about the execution of the Instrumento Particular de Ratificação de Entendimento by the parties on October 12, 2011, pursuant to which the parties agreed on a transaction structure for the proposed combination and thus requested that SEAE resume its analysis of the merger filing. As part of its analysis, SEAE sent a series of information requests to LAN and TAM, (Official Letters No. 11.143/2010; 12.203/2010; 6.566/2011; 6.607/2011; 7.218/2011; 7.555/2011; and 7.866/2011) requesting information on the markets affected by the proposed combination. All these Official Letters were duly answered by LAN and TAM. SEAE also sent information requests to the parties’ competitors, suppliers and clients. SEAE issued its report approving the merger filing without any restrictions on August 11, 2011. The proposed combination was also reviewed and approved without any restrictions by SDE on August 18, 2011. The proposed combination is currently being examined by CADE, under the responsibility of Reporting Commissioner Olavo Chanaglia. It is expected that CADE will complete its analysis and render a final decision with respect to the proposed combination within the next four to six months. Approval of CADE is not required to complete the exchange offer and the mergers.

Argentina
 
Under Argentine Law No. 25,156, notification of the exchange offer and the mergers must be filed with the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (the national antitrust commission of Argentina, which we refer to as the “CNDC”) (i) prior to the perfection or closing of the transaction, or (ii) within one week after the date (a) on which the transaction is closed, (b) the announcement of the commencement of a tender or exchange offer, or (c) the acquisition of a controlling stake, whichever event occurs sooner. The notification to the CNDC is not required in order to complete the exchange offer or the mergers.
 
On April 4, 2011, the CNDC initiated an investigation to determine whether the transaction would require a filing with the CNDC. LAN filed its response on May 18, 2011, enclosing the information and documentation requested by the CNDC. In its response, LAN stated that none of the conditions for filing the notification as set forth by the Argentinian antitrust regulations were met as of that time, and thus LAN would send the notification to the CNDC at the time required by those regulations.
 
Argentine law does not prohibit the consummation of the exchange offer or the mergers before the CNDC has granted its approval of the exchange offer and the mergers.
 
E.U.
 
LAN and TAM conduct business in a number of countries outside Latin America. In connection with the proposed combination, LAN and TAM identified two jurisdictions in the European Union, Germany and Spain, where a merger control filing is required and where clearance is needed prior to completion of the exchange offer. Filings have been made and unconditional clearances have been secured in Germany and Spain prior to mailing this offer to exchange/prospectus. A merger control filing was also made in Italy, and unconditional approval of the Italian competition authority has been obtained, although such approval is not required in order to complete the exchange offer and the mergers.
 
Other
 
Antitrust enforcement and other regulatory agencies frequently scrutinize transactions such as the proposed combination. At any time before or after completion of the exchange offer, any antitrust or other regulatory agency in a jurisdiction where LAN has not filed documentation could take any action under the applicable law of that jurisdiction as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including by seeking to require LAN to submit the proposed combination for antitrust review, to levy financial penalties or to impose conditions on the operation of the business of the combined companies. Although any of these actions are possible under the laws of a given jurisdiction, LAN believes that the risk that this will prevent the completion of the exchange offer and the proposed combination, or otherwise undermine the economic rationale for the proposed combination, is not significant. Private parties may also bring legal action under antitrust laws in certain jurisdictions under certain circumstances.

Registering Under Resolution No. 2,689/00 and Law 4,131/62
 
The right to convert dividend payments and proceeds from the sale of Brazilian securities into foreign currency and to remit those amounts outside Brazil is subject to restrictions under foreign investment regulations, which require, among other things, the electronic registration of the relevant investment with the Central Bank of Brazil. J.P. Morgan, as the TAM depositary, holds an electronic registration for the TAM shares underlying the TAM ADSs.
 
If you are a QIB and want to tender your TAM ADSs in the exchange offer through the Auction on Bovespa, as described in this section above under “—Holders of TAM ADSs—Withdrawal of TAM Shares Represented by TAM ADSs,” you must withdraw from the applicable TAM ADR program the TAM shares you wish to tender. You must then obtain your own electronic registration by registering your investment in the TAM shares as a foreign portfolio investment under Resolution No. 2,689/00.
 
Under Resolution No. 2,689/00, foreign investors may invest in almost all financial assets and engage in almost all transactions available in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, provided that certain requirements are met. Nevertheless, trading of securities is restricted to transactions carried out on the stock exchanges or organized over-the-counter markets licensed by the CVM.
 
Under Resolution No. 2,689/00, a foreign portfolio investor must:
 
 
·
appoint a representative in Brazil with powers to take actions relating to the investment;
 
 
·
appoint an authorized custodian in Brazil for the investments, which must be a financial institution duly authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil and CVM;
 
 
·
through its representative, register itself as a foreign investor with the CVM; and
 
 
·
register the foreign investment with the Central Bank of Brazil.
 
Securities and other financial assets held by foreign investors pursuant to Resolution No. 2,689/00 must be registered or maintained in deposit accounts or under the custody of an entity duly licensed by the Central Bank of Brazil or the CVM.
 
If you want to withdraw the TAM shares underlying your TAM ADSs and convert your investment into a foreign portfolio investment under Resolution No. 2,689/00 you will have to pay IOF in Brazil at the 2% rate on the foreign exchange transaction related to the registration of the underlying TAM shares as a 2,689 investment.
 
If you hold TAM ADSs and you want to tender them through the US exchange agent in the form of TAM shares, you must withdraw from the applicable TAM ADR program the TAM shares you wish to tender. You must then obtain your own electronic registration by registering your investment in the TAM shares as a foreign direct investment under Law 4,131/62.
 
Investors with 4,131 investments may sell their shares in both private and open market transactions, but these investors will generally be subject to less favorable tax treatment on capital gains.
 
Under Law No. 4,131/62, a foreign direct investor must:
 
 
·
register as a foreign direct investor with the Central Bank of Brazil;
 
 
·
obtain a taxpayer identification number from the Brazilian tax authorities;
 
 
·
appoint a tax representative in Brazil; and

 
-151-

 
 
 
·
appoint a representative in Brazil for service of process in respect of suits based on the Brazilian corporation law.
 
If you want to withdraw the TAM shares underlying your TAM ADSs and convert your investment into a foreign direct investment under Law No. 4,131/62, although there is no clear guidance in this respect, you should have to pay IOF in Brazil at the 2% rate on the foreign exchange transaction related to the registration of the underlying TAM shares as a 4,131 investment.
 
If you want to withdraw the TAM shares underlying your TAM ADSs, you should begin the process of obtaining your own foreign investor registration in advance of surrendering your TAM ADSs to the TAM depositary and withdrawing the TAM preferred shares underlying your TAM ADSs from the applicable TAM ADR program. If you do not timely complete this process, the custodian for the TAM depositary for the applicable TAM ADR program will neither effect the exchange nor deliver the TAM shares underlying your TAM ADSs and will instruct the TAM depositary to cancel the exchange and return the TAM ADSs to you.
 
Airline and Other Regulatory Authorities
 
In addition to the antitrust related filings and clearances discussed above, the commencement of the exchange offer was also conditioned on receipt of approval from ANAC. On October 13, 2010, the parties filed an application with ANAC for the transfers of TAM stock contemplated by the transaction agreements. Unconditional approval from ANAC was obtained on March 3, 2011. In addition, LAN formally consulted with the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Agency and confirmed that no consent or approval is required to be obtained from either authority prior to completion of the exchange offer and the mergers.
 
Commitment to Obtain Approvals
 
Both LAN and TAM have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable all consents and approvals of any governmental entity or any other person required as a condition to completion of the exchange offer and the mergers, subject to limitations as set forth in the transaction agreements.
 
Certain Consequences of the Exchange Offer
 
Trading in TAM Shares During and After the Offer Period
 
During the exchange offer period, TAM shares not tendered into the exchange offer will continue to trade on Bovespa and TAM ADSs not tendered into the exchange offer will continue to trade on the NYSE. Trading in TAM shares and TAM ADSs may continue on Bovespa and the NYSE, as applicable, after the completion of the exchange offer depending on the number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs not acquired in the exchange offer. However, if a sufficient number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs are acquired in the exchange offer, the TAM shares and TAM ADSs may be delisted from Bovespa and/or the NYSE (as discussed below in this section under “—Reduced Liquidity; Delisting”).
 
Reduced Liquidity; Delisting
 
The acquisition of TAM shares and TAM ADSs by Holdco II and LAN pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers will reduce the number of holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs and the number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs that might otherwise trade publicly and, depending on the number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs acquired by Holdco II and LAN pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers, could adversely affect the liquidity and market value of any remaining TAM shares and TAM ADSs held by the public. Furthermore, if a sufficient number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs are acquired in the exchange offer such that the delisting condition is satisfied, the TAM shares will be delisted automatically from Bovespa. If the TAM ADSs are no longer eligible for listing on the NYSE and the NYSE does not delist them, then TAM intends to request, as it is required to do so under the transaction agreements, that TAM ADSs be delisted from the NYSE as soon as is reasonably practicable following the effective time of the mergers if permitted by the rules of the NYSE. While TAM ADSs could continue to be traded in the over-the-counter market and price quotations could be reported, there can be no assurance that such an over-the-counter market will develop. The extent of the public market for the TAM shares and TAM ADSs and the availability of such quotations would depend upon such factors as the number of holders remaining at such time, the interest on the part of securities firms in maintaining a market in TAM shares and TAM ADSs and the possible termination of registration of TAM ADSs under the Exchange Act as described below, which would affect the amount of publicly available information about TAM.

 
-152-

 
 
Regardless of whether LAN or TAM formally seeks delisting of the TAM shares from Bovespa or TAM ADSs from the NYSE, depending on the number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs acquired pursuant to the exchange offer, the TAM shares or TAM ADSs may nonetheless no longer be eligible for trading on Bovespa or the NYSE, as applicable, under the rules of the relevant exchange.
 
Deregistration under the Exchange Act; Public Availability of Information
 
TAM shares represented by TAM ADSs are currently registered under the Exchange Act. TAM may request that the SEC terminate this registration if TAM ADSs are neither listed on a US national securities exchange or quotation system nor held by at least 300 holders that are residents of or located in the United States. If the TAM ADSs are delisted from the NYSE, and TAM has fewer than 300 holders of its shares that reside or are located in the United States, LAN will request that TAM seek to deregister the TAM ADSs under the Exchange Act. Termination of registration of the TAM ADSs under the Exchange Act would substantially reduce the information required to be furnished by TAM to holders of TAM ADSs and to the SEC and would make certain provisions of the Exchange Act, such as the requirement in Rule 13e-3 thereunder with respect to “going private” transactions, no longer applicable to TAM. In addition, “affiliates” of TAM and persons holding “restricted securities” (each as defined under Securities Act Rule 144) of TAM, if any, may be deprived of the ability to dispose of such securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
 
If the delisting condition is satisfied, after verifying that the provisions of CVM Instruction No. 361/02 have been satisfied, CVM will proceed with the cancellation of TAM’s registration as a public company in Brazil and thereafter shall inform BOVESPA and TAM of the deregistration. If the TAM shares are delisted from Bovespa and TAM is deregistered as a public company in Brazil, TAM will no longer be directly supervised by CVM and the amount of publicly available information concerning TAM and its operations will be reduced.
 
TAM ADSs May Cease Being “Margin Securities”
 
TAM ADSs currently constitute “margin securities” under the regulations of the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve System, which status has the effect of, among other things, allowing US brokers to extend credit on the collateral of TAM ADSs for purposes of buying, carrying and trading in securities. With the delisting of TAM ADSs from the NYSE, TAM ADSs might no longer constitute “margin securities” and, therefore, could no longer be used as collateral for the purpose of loans made by US brokers.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
The transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition under IFRS by use of the purchase method of accounting. For accounting purposes, LAN will be the acquirer and TAM will be the acquired entity.
 
Agents and Related Fees and Expenses
 
LAN has retained J.P. Morgan Securities to act as dealer manager in the United States in connection with the exchange offer. J.P. Morgan Securities will perform certain services in connection with the exchange offer, including soliciting tenders pursuant to the exchange offer and communicating generally with brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust companies and other persons. J.P. Morgan Securities will be reimbursed for certain of its expenses, including certain attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with performing such function. LAN has agreed to indemnify J.P. Morgan Securities and related persons against certain liabilities and expenses in connection with their services, including liabilities and expenses under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or contribute to payments that the dealer manager may be required to make in that respect. In addition, LAN retained J.P. Morgan Chase Bank to act as the US exchange agent to receive and hold TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer, for the benefit of Holdco II. LAN will pay these agents reasonable and customary compensation for their services in connection with the exchange offer, will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify them against certain liabilities and expenses. LAN also engaged J.P. Morgan Securities as its financial advisor in connection with the proposed combination with TAM. J.P. Morgan Securities and its affiliates have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, financial advisory or financing services to LAN and its affiliates and have received, and may receive in the future, fees for rendering these services. In the ordinary course of J.P. Morgan Securities’ business, J.P. Morgan Securities and its affiliates may actively trade securities of TAM and LAN for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in these securities.

Other Fees and Expenses
 
LAN has retained ________ as information agent in the United States in connection with the exchange offer. The information agent may contact holders of TAM shares or TAM ADSs by mail, telephone or other means and may request that brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees who hold TAM shares or TAM ADSs on behalf of beneficial owners of these TAM shares forward material relating to the exchange offer to such beneficial owners. LAN will pay the information agent reasonable and customary compensation for these services in addition to reimbursing the information agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. LAN has agreed to indemnify the information agent against certain liabilities and expenses in connection with the exchange offer, including certain liabilities under the US federal securities laws.
 
The expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer to be paid by TAM and LAN are estimated in the aggregate to be approximately $49.2 million. Such expenses include fees paid to financial advisors, transaction-related accounting and legal fees, printing costs, consultants, other advisors, registration fees and transfer taxes, among others. The following table sets forth the estimated fees and expenses that LAN expects to incur in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers:

Purpose of the Offer; Combination Transactions
 
Purpose
 
Holdco II is making the exchange offer pursuant to the transaction agreements. Contemporaneously with the completion of the exchange offer, LAN will implement a series of transactions that, along with the exchange offer, are intended to result in LAN acquiring indirectly substantially all of the economic rights and up to 20% of the voting rights in TAM while the TAM controlling shareholders would retain indirectly at least 80% of the voting rights in TAM. For a discussion of these combination transactions, see the “—Combination Transactions” section below and “The Transaction Agreements—Overview” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 159.

 
-155-

 
 
Combination Transactions
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreements, the proposed combination will be effected as follows:
 
 
·
immediately before Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer, the TAM controlling shareholders will contribute to TEP Chile all of the TAM shares beneficially owned by them in exchange for a number of shares of TEP Chile, which, when added to the shares of TEP Chile held by the TAM controlling shareholders at that time, would equal 100% of the shares of TEP Chile;
 
 
·
immediately thereafter, TEP Chile will contribute all of the TAM common shares it receives from the TAM controlling shareholders to Holdco I and will contribute all of the TAM preferred shares it receives from the TAM controlling shareholders to Sister Holdco and will receive 93.8% (TEP Chile’s percentage ownership of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I will be reduced after the mergers described below so that the product of such ownership percentage and Holdco I’s percentage ownership of the outstanding TAM common shares will be equal to 80%) of the voting shares of Holdco I and a number of shares of Sister Holdco equal to the total number of TAM shares contributed to Holdco I and Sister Holdco by TEP Chile;
 
 
·
after Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer and immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, Holdco II and Sister Holdco will merge with and into LAN, with LAN being the surviving company of both mergers;
 
 
·
immediately after the effectiveness of the Holdco II merger, LAN will transfer all of the TAM common shares acquired pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers for the same number of non-voting shares of Holdco I and will increase its ownership of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I up to a maximum amount equal to (i) 100% minus (ii) 80% divided by the percentage of TAM common shares owned by Holdco I on a primary basis after giving effect to such contribution of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I by converting some of its non-voting shares of Holdco I into voting shares of Holdco I; and
 
 
·
if the squeeze-out condition is satisfied, LAN will increase its ownership of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I to 20% of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I by converting some of its non-voting shares of Holdco I into voting shares of Holdco I.
 
For a discussion of the effect of the mergers, see “The Transaction Agreements—The Mergers; Directors and Officers; By-laws” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 177, and for further discussion of these combination transactions, see “The Transaction Agreements—Overview” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 159.
 
Squeeze-Out Procedure
 
Brazilian law includes a procedure for the squeeze-out of shares owned by minority shareholders of a Brazilian company such as TAM. If after completion of the exchange offer the free float shares represent 5% or less of the outstanding TAM shares and TAM ADSs, the TAM controlling shareholders may resolve in a general meeting to request that TAM compulsorily redeem all TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADS) that were not acquired in the exchange offer and the mergers for an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of LAN ADSs and/or LAN BDSs they would have received pursuant to the exchange offer in respect of their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs and (ii) the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the date the exchange offer is completed, duly adjusted by the Central Bank of Brazil’s overnight lending rate, within 15 days after the general meeting of TAM shareholders in which the squeeze-out was approved. As soon as LAN and its affiliates hold, directly or indirectly, for LAN’s own account more than 95% of the issued and outstanding TAM shares and TAM ADSs, TAM intends to institute proceedings in accordance with Brazilian law to compulsorily redeem any TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were not acquired in the exchange offer and the mergers. For further discussion of the squeeze-out procedure, see “The Transaction Agreements Effects of the Merger—Statutory Squeeze-Out” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 179.

 
-156-

 
 
Other Considerations
 
It is possible that LAN and TAM may not be able to implement the post-closing combination transactions promptly after settlement of the exchange offer, that such combination transactions may be delayed or that such combination transactions cannot take place at all. This will depend on, among other things, the percentage of TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer and the means available in a particular jurisdiction to achieve the objective of enabling LAN (and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries) to acquire all of the outstanding TAM shares and TAM ADSs, taking into account options available under the applicable provisions of Chilean, Brazilian or other applicable laws and the rules and regulations of any relevant exchange. Accordingly, TAM may be unable to effect a statutory squeeze-out in accordance with Brazilian law promptly after completing the exchange offer of TAM shares or TAM ADSs who do not tender their TAM shares into the exchange offer, and the liquidity and value of any TAM shares and TAM ADSs that remain outstanding could be negatively affected by the fact that they will be held by a small number of holders. For further discussions of the potential effects of the exchange offer, see “—Certain Consequences of the Exchange Offer” in this section above.
 
Plans for TAM after the Combination
 
Once the proposed combination has been completed, LAN intends for TAM to continue its current operations as an affiliate of LAN. For a discussion of the organizational structure of the combined companies, see the “Transactions Agreements—Overview” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 159 and for further discussion of LAN’s plans for the combined companies following the completion of the proposed combination, see the “Shareholders Agreements” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 183.
 
The Combined Companies after the Combination
 
The proposed combination will create the leading Latin American airline group with the largest fleet of aircraft of any airline in Latin America and one that is well-positioned to compete in an increasingly consolidated and competitive global airline industry. By coordinating their marketing and sales efforts, LATAM will have enhanced global presence capable of targeting and serving a larger pool of potential customers.
 
The businesses of LAN and TAM are highly complementary from both the geographic and business line perspectives. The proposed combination will create new opportunities for LATAM to offer better services to its customers through the harmonization of flight schedules, improved commercial distribution, launch of new flights and expansion of the combined cargo business. For more information about the complementary aspects of the proposed combination, see the “LAN’s Reasons for the Proposed Combination—Complementary Aspects of the Two Companies” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 90.
 
Regulation and Tax
 
The primary regulator for each of the airlines of the combined companies will be the Aeronautic Authority of the country in which each airline is incorporated.
 
In the case of LAN, the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil and the Junta de Aeronáutica Civil are its primary regulators and will continue to be the primary regulator of LATAM’s airlines incorporated in Chile after the completion of the proposed combination. ANAC will continue to be the primary regulator of TAM after completion of the proposed combination.

 
-157-

 
 
LATAM, which will be the holding company for the combined companies, will remain incorporated under the laws of Chile and will remain a Chilean tax resident.

This section describes the material terms of the transaction agreements. The rights and obligations of the parties to the transaction agreements are governed by the express terms and conditions of the transaction agreements and not by this summary or any other information contained in this offer to exchange/prospectus. The description in this section and elsewhere in this offer to exchange/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the transaction agreements, copies of which are attached as Annex D and Annex E, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this offer to exchange/prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the transaction agreements that is important to you. LAN and Holdco II encourage you to read the transaction agreements carefully and in their entirety.
 
Explanatory Note Regarding the Transaction Agreements
 
The following summary is included to provide you with information regarding the terms of the transaction agreements. This section is not intended to provide you with any factual information about either TAM or LAN. Such information can be found elsewhere in this offer to exchange/prospectus and in the public filings that TAM and LAN make with the SEC, as described in the “Where You Can Find More Information” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 13. Factual disclosures about TAM or LAN contained in this offer to exchange/prospectus or in their respective public reports filed with the SEC may supplement, update or modify the factual disclosures about TAM and LAN contained in the transaction agreements. The representations, warranties and covenants made in the transaction agreements by TAM and LAN were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by TAM and LAN in connection with negotiating the terms of the transaction agreements. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the transaction agreements and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purposes of establishing the circumstances in which a party to the transaction agreements may have the right not to commence the exchange offer if the representations and warranties of the other party proved to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the transaction agreements, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC and in some cases were qualified by the matters contained in the disclosure schedules that TAM and LAN delivered in connection with the transaction agreements, which disclosures were not reflected in the transaction agreements. Therefore, the representations and warranties and other provisions in the transaction agreements should not be read alone but instead together with the information provided elsewhere in this offer to exchange/prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this offer to exchange/prospectus. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this offer to exchange/prospectus, may have changed since the date of the transaction agreements and subsequent developments or new information qualifying a representation or warranty may have been included in this offer to exchange/prospectus. In this offer to exchange/prospectus, we refer to January 18, 2011, the date that the parties entered into the transaction agreements, as the “signing date.”
 
Overview
 
To help you better understand the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements the charts below illustrate, in simplified form, the organizational structure of TAM as of the signing date, the organizational structure of TAM immediately prior to Holdco II’s acquisition of the tendered TAM shares and TAM ADSs and the organizational structure of the combined companies immediately after the completion of the exchange offer, the mergers and the other combination transactions.

Organizational Structure of TAM Immediately prior to Holdco II’s Acquisition of the Tendered TAM Shares
 

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the transaction agreements, all or substantially all of the outstanding TAM common shares will be acquired by Holdco I and substantially all of the outstanding TAM preferred shares will be acquired by LAN through a series of transactions and corporate restructurings described below. Pursuant to the transaction agreements, the parties formed Holdco II in June 2011 as a new Chilean company to make the exchange offer. For a description of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, see “The Exchange Offer” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 111.
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreements, the proposed combination will be effected as follows:

immediately before Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer, the TAM controlling shareholders will contribute to TEP Chile, a Chilean corporation formed in June 2011 wholly owned by them, all of the TAM shares beneficially owned by them in exchange for a number of shares of TEP Chile, which, when added to the shares of TEP Chile held by the TAM controlling shareholders at that time, would equal 100% of the shares of TEP Chile;
 
immediately thereafter, TEP Chile will contribute all of the TAM common shares it receives from the TAM controlling shareholders to Holdco I and will contribute all of the TAM preferred shares it receives from the TAM controlling shareholders to Sister Holdco and will receive 93.8% of the voting shares of Holdco I (TEP Chile’s percentage ownership of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I will be reduced after the mergers described below so that the product of such ownership percentage and Holdco I’s percentage ownership of the outstanding TAM common shares will be equal to 80%), and a number of shares of Sister Holdco equal to the total number of TAM shares the TAM controlling shareholders contributed to Holdco I and Sister Holdco;

after Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer and immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, Holdco II and Sister Holdco will merge with and into LAN, with LAN being the surviving company of both mergers and each Holdco II share and each Sister Holdco share will be converted into the right to receive 0.90 of a LAN share to be delivered in the form of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs. For a discussion of the effect of the mergers, see “The Transaction Agreements—The Mergers; Directors and Officers; By-laws” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 177;
 
 
·
immediately after the effectiveness of the Holdco II merger, LAN will transfer all of the TAM common shares it acquired pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers for the same number of non-voting shares of Holdco I and thereafter will increase its ownership of outstanding voting shares of Holdco I up to a maximum amount equal to (i) 100% minus (ii) 80% divided by the percentage of TAM common shares owned by Holdco I on a primary basis after giving effect to such contribution of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I by converting some of its non-voting shares of Holdco I into voting shares of Holdco I; and
 
 
·
if the squeeze-out condition is satisfied, LAN will increase its ownership of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I to 20% of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I by converting some of its non-voting shares of Holdco I into voting shares of Holdco I.
 
As a result of the Holdco II merger, each Holdco II share (including those shares to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer) will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share.  Because the Holdco II merger will occur immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs acquired in the exchange offer will receive 0.90 of a LAN common share for each TAM share or TAM ADS so acquired.  Holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs who tender into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN ADSs, which will be evidenced by LAN ADRs.  Holders of TAM shares who tender their TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDSs, which will be evidenced by LAN BDRs.
 
As a result of the Sister Holdco merger, each Sister Holdco share will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share. Because all of the Sister Holdco shares will be owned by the TAM controlling shareholders indirectly through TEP Chile immediately prior to the Sister Holdco Merger, they will receive LAN common shares for the TAM shares TEP Chile contributes to Holdco I and Sister Holdco at the same exchange ratio as the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs acquired in the exchange offer. For a further description of the consideration to be paid in the exchange offer, see “The Exchange Offer—Consideration to Be Exchanged” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 111.
 
If permitted by Brazilian law, TAM will compulsorily redeem all TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were not acquired in the exchange offer. For a description of the statutory squeeze-out procedure and consideration to be paid to holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs in the squeeze-out, see “The Exchange Offer—Squeeze-Out Procedure” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 156.
 
If the delisting condition is satisfied as described below in this section under “—Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer,” the TAM shares will be delisted automatically from Bovespa. If the TAM ADSs are no longer be eligible for listing on the NYSE and the NYSE does not delist them, then TAM intends to request, as it is required to do so by the transaction agreements, that the TAM ADSs be delisted from the NYSE as soon as is reasonably practicable following the effective time of the mergers if permitted by the rules of the NYSE. For a discussion of the delisting process, see “The Exchange Offer—Certain Consequences of the Exchange Offer” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 152.

At the effective time, the LAN BDSs will be listed in Brazil on Bovespa; the LAN common shares will continue to be listed in Chile on the SSE and in the United States on the NYSE in the form of LAN ADSs, and LAN’s name will be changed to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.”
 
Combined Companies Structure Following the Completion of the Proposed Combination
 
If the exchange offer, the mergers and the other combination transactions described above are successfully completed, then immediately following the completion of these transactions the issued and outstanding shares of LAN and TAM will be distributed approximately as shown below. The ownership percentages shown in the chart above were calculated assuming that all holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs other than the TAM controlling shareholders validly tender their TAM shares and TAM ADSs into, and do not withdraw them from, the exchange offer, that no TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) or LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs) are issued after the date of this offer to exchange/prospectus other than the LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs) to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers, no shareholders of LAN exercise their appraisal rights (derecho a retiro) under Chilean law in connection with approval of the mergers and the TAM controlling shareholders make and pay the TEP Chile subscription by contributing to TEP Chile all TAM shares beneficially owned by them, and TEP Chile pays for the subscriptions of Holdco I shares and Sister Holdco shares by, directly or indirectly, contributing to Holdco I and Sister Holdco all of the TAM shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders.

Special Meeting of TAM Shareholders
 
At a duly called shareholders meeting (at which the requisite quorum of at least 20% of the free float shares was present), the holders of free float shares had the option to select, by vote of a majority of the votes cast at that meeting, one of three recommended appraisal firms or to select Bradesco as the Appraiser and to adopt as the Appraisal Report the appraisal report prepared by Bradesco valuing each of LAN and TAM as of ___, 2011, in accordance with CVM 361/2002, which was presented at that meeting. For a discussion of the Appraisal Report, see the “TAM Board of Directors’ Recommendation—Appraisal Report” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 109. If the holders of free float shares exercised their right under Brazilian law to request that TAM call a special meeting of the shareholders of TAM to vote upon whether or not to request a new appraisal report and to appoint a new appraiser, then TAM would have been required to take all action necessary to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold such a special meeting no later than 45 days after the request for such special meeting.  As discussed below in this section under “—Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer,” it is a condition to the completion of the exchange offer that, since the commencement date, no appraisal event has occurred, the holders of the free float shares shall have not requested a new appraisal report and a new appraiser in accordance with Brazilian law and the holders of the free float shares shall no longer have the right to request a new appraisal report or a new appraiser.

No Solicitation
 
Each of the parties has agreed to cease and immediately terminate all existing activities and discussions with any person conducted prior to the signing date with respect to an alternative proposal concerning its relevant parent entity. In this offer to exchange/prospectus, we refer to LAN as the relevant parent entity of LAN and the LAN controlling shareholders and TAM as the relevant parent entity of TAM and the TAM controlling shareholders, and we refer to any of the following actions or any proposal or exchange offer (including any proposal or exchange offer to or from any representative of any party) with respect to any relevant parent entity by any person or group relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any of the following as an “alternative proposal”:  (i) any direct or indirect acquisition, lease, license or outsourcing, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of any assets, services or businesses of such relevant parent entity or any of its subsidiaries collectively representing more than 25% of the fair market value of the total assets of such relevant parent entity or collectively generating or contributing 25% or more of the total consolidated revenues or operating income of such person during the last fiscal year, (ii) any tender exchange offer or exchange offer that, if completed, would result in any person or group beneficially owning any equity securities of such relevant parent entity, or (iii) any business combination, recapitalization, issuance or amendment of securities, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture, share exchange or similar transaction involving such relevant parent entity or any of its subsidiaries.

-174-

since the commencement date, no market disruption that could reasonably be expected to have a LAN material adverse effect has occurred.
 
Actions on the Expiration Date; Completion of the Exchange Offer
 
The date on which the Auction established in the Edital will occur as specified in the Edital is referred to as the “expiration date”.
 
The transaction agreements describe the schedule of events to occur after the Auction Tender Deadline on the expiration date as follows:
 
 
·
no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern time (12:00 (noon), São Paulo time) the US exchange agent will certify to Bovespa, Holdco II, LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders the total number of TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that have been validly tendered into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and not withdrawn from the exchange offer as of that time;
 
 
·
at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time (2:00 p.m., São Paulo time) on the expiration date, Bovespa will inform LAN, Holdco II and the TAM controlling shareholders whether or not the minimum conditions (taking into account the TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered through the US exchange agent) have been satisfied;
 
 
·
promptly after receiving that notice (but no later than 11:10 a.m., Eastern time (2:10 p.m., São Paulo time) on the expiration date), LAN will notify the TAM controlling shareholders in writing as to whether or not all of the exchange offer conditions waivable by LAN (other than the condition relating to the TEP Chile subscription and the Holdco subscriptions) have been satisfied or irrevocably waived by LAN;
 
 
·
if LAN states in that notice that all exchange offer conditions have been satisfied or waived, then promptly after receiving LAN’s notice (but no later than 11:20 a.m., Eastern time (2:20 p.m., São Paulo time) on the expiration date), the TAM controlling shareholders will inform LAN in writing whether or not all of the exchange offer conditions waivable by them and the subscription conditions have been satisfied or irrevocably waived by them, and if all such conditions have been satisfied or waived by them, then promptly after sending that notice (but no later than 11:30 a.m., Eastern time (2:30 p.m., São Paulo time) on the expiration date), the TAM controlling shareholders will subscribe and pay for a number of shares of TEP Chile, which, when added to the shares of TEP Chile held by the controlling shareholders of TAM at that time, would equal 100% of the shares of TEP Chile in exchange for all of the TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares held by them (which we refer to as the “TEP Chile subscription”). The transaction agreements require that, as a result of the TEP Chile subscription, each of the TAM controlling shareholders will have the same ownership in TEP Chile as he or she had in TEP;
 
 
·
before the date of this offer to exchange/prospectus, TEP Chile subscribed for non-voting shares of Holdco I in exchange for all of the TAM common shares to be contributed by the TAM controlling shareholders to TEP Chile and subscribed for Sister Holdco shares in exchange for all of the non-voting shares of Holdco I, 6.2% of the voting shares of Holdco I and all of the TAM preferred shares to be contributed by the TAM controlling shareholders to TEP Chile. Immediately after subscription and payment of the TEP Chile subscription, TEP Chile will pay for these subscriptions by paying Holdco I with all of the TAM common shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders and pay Sister Holdco with all of the non-voting shares of Holdco I, 6.2% of the voting shares of Holdco I and all of the TAM preferred shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders (which we refer to as the “Holdco subscriptions” and the “Sister Holdco Subscriptions,” respectively, and which we refer to collectively with the TEP Chile subscriptions as the “subscriptions”);

 
-175-

 
 
 
·
promptly after payment of the subscriptions (but no later than 11:40 a.m., Eastern time (2:40 p.m., São Paulo time) on the expiration date), LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders will issue a press release announcing that all of the exchange offer conditions have been satisfied or irrevocably waived; and
 
 
·
if all the exchange offer conditions are so satisfied or waived, the Auction will commence at 12:00 (noon), Eastern time (3:00 p.m., São Paulo time) (or such other time as Bovespa may determine) on the expiration date, and the TAM controlling shareholders will cause Holdco II to complete the exchange offer on the expiration date by accepting for exchange and exchanging (with LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs issuable in the mergers) all TAM shares validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer through the Auction and all TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer through the US exchange agent that Holdco II is obligated to acquire for exchange pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer. The completion of the exchange offer will be deemed to be the acquisitions of TAM shares tendered pursuant to the Auction and the acquisitions of TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered through the US exchange agent, and such purchases will be settled on the third business day following the expiration date in accordance with the applicable procedures of Bovespa and the SEC.
 
However, if (x) either LAN or the TAM controlling shareholders do not state that all of the conditions described above have been satisfied or irrevocably waived or (y) the subscriptions or any of the payments required pursuant to the subscriptions are not made in full when required by the transaction agreements, then the Auction will not occur and the exchange offer will expire without the purchase of any TAM shares or TAM ADSs.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Auction commences at any time other than 12:00 (noon), Eastern time (3:00 p.m., São Paulo time) on the expiration date, then each of the times specified above (except for the last time that a withdrawal may be made) will be adjusted by the same amount that the actual time of the commencement of the Auction differs from 12:00 (noon), Eastern time (3:00 p.m., São Paulo time).
 
Extensions and Amendments
 
The exchange offer will initially expire on the date provided in the Edital. However, if all of the exchange offer conditions are not satisfied at, or waived by the parties prior to, the scheduled expiration time for the exchange offer, then LAN or the TAM controlling shareholders (if they are entitled to the benefit of the unsatisfied condition) may cause Holdco II to request permission from the CVM to extend the expiration time for the exchange offer in maximum increments of three days to no later than 28 days after the commencement date. If both LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders agree to request a modification to the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or revocation of the exchange offer, the TAM controlling shareholders are required to cause Holdco II to request permission from the CVM to modify the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or to revoke the exchange offer. LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders have agreed to cause Holdco II to request permission from the CVM to revoke the exchange offer if the transaction agreements terminate in accordance with their terms.
 
Delistings
 
Each of the TAM controlling shareholders and TAM are required to use its or their commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) the TAM shares to be delisted from Bovespa if the delisting condition is satisfied with respect to either class of TAM stock and (ii) the TAM ADSs to be delisted from the NYSE as soon as practicable after the effective time.
 
Completion Board Meeting
 
LAN is required to convene a special meeting of the LAN board of directors prior to the settlement of the acquisitions to be made pursuant to the exchange offer to give effect to the delivery of the required LAN common shares issuable pursuant to the mergers as soon as practicable, but not later than two business days following, the completion of the exchange offer.

 
-176-

 
 
The Mergers; Directors and Officers; By-laws
 
Holdco II Merger
 
The transaction agreements provide for the merger of Holdco II with and into LAN after the completion of the exchange offer and prior to the settlement of the purchases made pursuant to the exchange offer. As the surviving corporation, LAN will continue to exist following the Holdco II merger. Pursuant to the Holdco II merger, each Holdco II share (including those issuable pursuant to the settlement of the acquisitions made in connection with the exchange offer) will be converted into a LAN common share at a ratio of 0.90 of a LAN common share per Holdco II share (which we refer to as the “Holdco II exchange ratio”). Holders of TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs will receive, by virtue of the Holdco II merger, LAN common shares in the following form in exchange for their TAM shares or TAM ADSs tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer, depending on the form of TAM shares tendered into the exchange offer:
 
 
·
holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN ADSs, which will be evidenced by LAN ADRs; and
 
 
·
holders of TAM shares tendered into the exchange offer through the Auction on Bovespa will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDSs, which will be evidenced by LAN BDRs.
 
LAN is required to pay or cause to be paid all deposit fees and other expenses payable in connection with the issuance of such LAN ADRs and LAN BDRs.
 
Immediately after the completion of the Holdco II merger, LAN will contribute any TAM common shares beneficially owned by Holdco II immediately prior to such merger to Holdco I in exchange for the same number of non-voting shares of Holdco I. After this contribution, LAN will increase its ownership percentage of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I to an amount equal to (A) 100% minus (B) 80% divided by the percentage of the outstanding TAM common shares owned by Holdco I after giving effect to such contribution by converting some of its non-voting shares of Holdco I into voting shares of Holdco I.
 
Voting shares of Holdco I have the exclusive right to vote on, approve or consent to all matters that are subject to any vote of or approval by the shareholders of Holdco I under the applicable law of Chile or otherwise (other than the limited voting rights of the non-voting shares of Holdco I) and have no economic rights other than the right to receive a nominal dividend (which we refer to as the “Holdco I dividend rights”). Non-voting shares of Holdco I have the exclusive right to receive all dividends, distributions or other amounts payable by Holdco I in respect of any shares of its capital stock other than the Holdco I dividend rights and have no right to vote on or approve any matter that is subject to any vote of or approval by the shareholders of Holdco I under applicable law of Chile or otherwise other than the rights to vote on and approve the matters requiring the approval of the holders of such shares under the applicable law of Chile or otherwise.
 
Sister Holdco Mergers
 
The transaction agreements also provide for the merger of Sister Holdco with and into LAN after the completion of the exchange offer and prior to the settlement of the acquisitions of TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer. As the surviving corporation, LAN will continue to exist following the Sister Holdco merger.
 
Pursuant to the Sister Holdco merger, each share of Sister Holdco stock will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share at a ratio of 0.90 of a LAN common share per share of Sister Holdco stock (which we refer to as the “Sister Holdco exchange ratio”). LAN will pay or cause to be paid all deposit fees and other expenses payable in connection with the issuance of such LAN common shares.

 
-177-

 
 
By-laws
 
The parties are required to take all necessary action, so that immediately following the effective time the by-laws of Holdco I, Sister Holdco and Holdco II shall be in the forms attached to the exchange offer agreement.
 
Directors
 
LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders are required to discuss in good faith and agree upon the individuals who will be the directors of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their subsidiaries as of the effective time and to take all necessary action to ensure that immediately following, and on the same day as, the effective time, the individuals selected for election to the board of directors of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their subsidiaries by each of LAN and TEP Chile pursuant to the Holdco I shareholders agreement, by each of LAN and TEP Chile pursuant to the TAM shareholders agreement and by each of the LAN controlling shareholders and TEP Chile pursuant to the control group shareholders agreement (as defined under the “Shareholders Agreements” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 183) shall be the directors of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their subsidiaries. For a discussion of the parties’ rights to elect the directors of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their subsidiaries, see the “Shareholders Agreements—Voting Agreements” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 187.
 
Effects of the Mergers
 
Capital Increase
 
When the shareholders of LAN approved the mergers, the share capital of LAN was increased by an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the share capital of Holdco II and the share capital of Sister Holdco at such time (which we refer to as the “initial capital increase”). After the completion of the mergers, the share capital of LAN will be increased a second time by the amount by which the net asset value of the TAM shares contributed pursuant to the subscriptions exceeds, or will be decreased by the amount by which such net asset value is less than, the initial capital increase (which we refer to as the “second capital increase”). The second capital increase of LAN will not change the number of issued and outstanding LAN common shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs).
 
Treatment of Holdco II and Sister Holdco Stock
 
At the effective time, each share of Holdco II stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be exchanged for 0.90 of a validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable LAN common share, which is the Holdco II exchange ratio less applicable withholding tax. Each share of Sister Holdco stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be exchanged for 0.90 of a validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable LAN common share, which is the Sister Holdco exchange ratio less applicable withholding tax.
 
TAM Options
 
TAM and the board of directors of TAM, as applicable, were required prior to the commencement of the exchange offer to adopt any resolutions and take any actions necessary to ensure that (a) from and after the effective time each TAM stock option outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, whether vested or unvested, will be exercisable only when vested and only for an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of TAM stock in respect of which such TAM stock option is exercisable, and (ii) the amount (if any) by which (x) the product of the Holdco II exchange ratio and the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the last business day prior to the date on which such TAM stock option was exercised exceeds (y) the exercise price per share of TAM stock under such TAM stock option, less any applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment, and (b) none of execution, delivery or performance of the transaction agreements or the completion of the mergers or any other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements will, directly or indirectly, cause or result in any acceleration of the vesting of any TAM stock options, whether prior to, on or after the effective time.

 
-178-

 
 
Exchange Fund
 
Prior to the effective time, LAN will deposit or cause to be deposited with the US exchange agent, for the benefit of the holders of Holdco II stock and Sister Holdco stock, certificates or, at LAN’s option, evidence of shares in book-entry form, representing LAN common shares, including any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional LAN common shares, as discussed below in this section. We refer to such certificates or evidence of book-entry form, as the case may be, for LAN common shares and such cash paid in lieu of fractional shares collectively as the “exchange fund.” Any interest or income produced from investments of the exchange fund by the US exchange agent will not be deemed part of the exchange fund and will be payable to LAN.
 
Fractional Shares
 
No certificates or scrip representing fractional LAN common shares will be issued in the mergers or pursuant to the statutory squeeze-out and such fractional shares will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of LAN. In lieu of fractional shares, LAN will pay each holder of a fractional LAN common share an amount in cash in US dollars equal to the product of (a) the fractional LAN common shares to which such holder would otherwise be entitled after taking into account all shares of Holdco II stock or Sister Holdco stock owned of record by such holder immediately prior to the effective time, and (b) the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the last trading day immediately preceding the effective time (as reported in www.bolsadesantiago.com or, if not reported therein, by another authoritative source) converted into US dollars at the Chilean observed exchange rate published by the Central Bank of Chile on such date.
 
Statutory Squeeze-Out
 
After the completion of the exchange offer, if permitted under applicable Brazilian law, TAM will compulsorily redeem any TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were not acquired in the exchange offer (which we refer to collectively as “non-tendered shares”). In this redemption, the non-tendered shares will be compulsorily redeemed for cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs that they would have received pursuant to the exchange offer in respect of their non-tendered shares (assuming they could have received fractional LAN common shares), and (ii) the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the day on which the exchange offer is completed, duly adjusted by the Central Bank of Brazil’s overnight lending rate. After TAM redeems all remaining TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs), LAN will increase its ownership percentage of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I to 20% by converting its non-voting shares of Holdco I into voting shares of Holdco I.
 
Delistings
 
Each of the TAM controlling shareholders and TAM is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) the TAM shares to be delisted from Bovespa if the delisting condition is satisfied and (ii) the TAM ADSs to be delisted from the NYSE as soon as practicable after the effective time.
 
Termination
 
The transaction agreements will terminate automatically if and when (i) the exchange offer expires in accordance with its terms or is revoked with the permission of CVM without the purchase of any TAM shares or (ii) if the product of 0.90 and the high end of the range of economic value of LAN per LAN common share as determined by the Appraiser at any time is less than the low end of the range of economic value of TAM per TAM share of stock as determined by the Appraiser at such time. In addition, LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders may terminate the transaction agreements by mutual written consent.
 
Termination Fees
 
TAM is required to pay LAN a fee equal to $200 million (which we refer to as the “TAM termination fee”), and reimburse LAN for all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by LAN or any of LAN’s subsidiaries in connection with the transaction agreements and the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements up to a maximum amount of $25 million (no later than the second business day after TAM receives documentation for reimbursement) if:

 
-179-

 
 
 
·
LAN terminates the transaction agreements because the board of directors of TAM or any committee thereof (x) withholds, withdraws or modifies or qualifies in any manner adverse to LAN either of the recommendations of the board of directors of TAM in support of the proposed combination, (y) approves, adopts, or recommends any alternative proposal, or (z) makes, causes to be made or resolves to make or cause to be made any public statement proposing or announcing an intention to take any of the foregoing actions; or
 
 
·
within 12 months after the date that a competing proposal termination occurs, TAM or any of its subsidiaries completes any transaction that constitutes a competing proposal with the person that made the competing proposal or any of its affiliates, enters into any binding or non-binding agreement with such person or any of its affiliates providing for a transaction that constitutes a competing proposal or the board of directors of TAM approves or recommends to its shareholders or does not oppose any competing proposal made by such person or any of its affiliates (in each case regardless of whether such competing proposal was made or announced or became publicly known before or after termination of the transaction agreements and in any such case the TAM termination fee is payable on the date that is the first to occur of the event(s) referred to in this paragraph).
 
A “competing proposal termination” occurs if:
 
 
·
any person makes an alternative proposal with respect to TAM or LAN (which we refer to as a “competing proposal”) to any party or its representatives,
 
 
·
a competing proposal by any person becomes publicly known, or
 
 
·
any person publicly announces an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a competing proposal;
 
and, in each case, the transaction agreements automatically terminate solely because either of the minimum conditions is not satisfied or because an appraisal event occurs.
 
LAN is required to pay TAM a fee equal to $200 million (which we refer to as the “LAN termination fee”) and reimburse TAM for all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the transaction agreements and the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements up to a maximum amount of $25 million (no later than the second business day after LAN receives documentation for reimbursement) if:
 
 
·
the TAM controlling shareholders terminate the transaction agreements because the board of directors of LAN or any committee thereof (x) withholds, withdraws or modifies or qualifies in any manner adverse to TAM either of the recommendations of the board of directors of LAN in support of the proposed combination, (y) approves, adopts, or recommends any alternative proposal, or (z) makes, causes to be made or resolves to make or cause to be made any public statement proposing or announcing an intention to take any of the foregoing actions; or
 
 
·
within 12 months after the date that a competing proposal termination occurs, LAN or any of its subsidiaries complete any transaction that constitutes a competing proposal with the person that made the competing proposal or any of its affiliates, enter into any binding or non-binding agreement with such person or any of its affiliates providing for a transaction that constitutes a competing proposal or LAN’s board of directors approves or recommends to its shareholders or does not oppose any competing proposal made by such person or any of its affiliates (in each case regardless of whether such competing proposal was made or announced or became publicly known before or after termination of the transaction agreements and in any such case the LAN termination fee is payable on the date that is the first to occur of the event(s) referred to in this paragraph).

Remedies
 
If either LAN or TAM fails promptly to pay the amount due to the other party as a result of the termination of the transaction agreements under certain circumstances and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against LAN or TAM for all or a portion of the TAM termination fee or the LAN termination fee, as applicable, such party is required to pay to the other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the TAM termination fee or the LAN termination fee, as applicable, accruing from the date such payment was required to be made pursuant to the transaction agreements until the date of payment at the six-month LIBOR rate in effect on the date such payment was required to be made plus 3%. The right to receive the fees and expenses payable described above under the “—Termination Fees” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 179 will be in addition to, and not instead of, any other remedies a party may have at law or in equity with respect to breaches of the transaction agreements by the other party.

As discussed above under “The Exchange Offer—Plans for TAM after the Combination” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 157, following the combination of LAN and TAM, TAM will continue to exist as a subsidiary of Holdco I (and as an affiliate of LAN) and LAN’s name will be changed to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.” Prior to the date of this offer to exchange/prospectus, LAN and the LAN controlling shareholders entered into several shareholders agreements with TAM, Holdco I and TEP Chile to set forth the parties’ agreement with respect to the governance, management and operation of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their respective subsidiaries (which we refer to collectively as the “LATAM Group”) following the effective time. The shareholders agreements set forth an extensive set of principles that will apply to the corporate governance and organization of the LATAM Group following the effective time, which are summarized below. Pursuant to their terms, the shareholders agreements will become effective only if and at the time that Holdco I becomes a holder of at least 80% of the outstanding TAM common shares.

The key provisions of these agreements are summarized below but are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of these agreements, which are attached to this offer to exchange/prospectus as Annex F and Annex G. For a full understanding of these agreements, we advise you to read these agreements carefully and in their entirety.

The head office of the LATAM Group will continue to be located in Santiago, Chile following the effective time.
 
Governance and Management of Holdco I and TAM
 
The Holdco I shareholders agreement and the TAM shareholders agreement (each as defined below) set forth the parties’ agreement on the governance and management of Holdco I, TAM and its subsidiaries (which we refer to collectively as the “TAM Group”) following the effective time. The key provisions of these agreements are summarized below but are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of these agreements, which are attached to this offer to exchange/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I, respectively. For a full understanding of these agreements, we advise you to read these agreements carefully and in their entirety.

Management of Holdco I and TAM
 
The day-to-day business and affairs of Holdco I will be managed by the TAM CEO under the oversight of the board of directors of Holdco I. The day-to-day business and affairs of TAM will be managed by the “TAM Diretoria” under the oversight of the board of directors of TAM. The TAM Diretoria will be comprised of the TAM Group CEO, the chief financial officer of TAM (which we refer to as the TAM CFO), the chief operating officer of TAM (which we refer to as the TAM COO) and the chief commercial officer of TAM (which we refer to as the TAM CCO).

The TAM CEO will have general supervision, direction and control of the business and operations of the TAM Group (other than the international passenger business of the LATAM Group) and will carry out all orders and resolutions of the board of directors of TAM. The initial chief financial officer of TAM (which we refer to as the “TAM CFO”) will be jointly selected by LAN and TEP Chile and any successor CFO will be selected by TEP Chile from three candidates proposed by LAN. The TAM COO and TAM CCO will be jointly selected and recommended to the board of directors of TAM by the TAM CEO and TAM CFO and approved by the board of directors of TAM. These shareholders agreements also regulate the composition of the boards of directors of subsidiaries of TAM.
 
TAM will continue to be headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil following the effective time.

Voting Agreements, Transfers and Other Arrangements
 
Voting Agreements
 
The LAN controlling shareholders and TEP Chile have agreed in the control group shareholders agreement to vote their respective LAN common shares as follows after the effective time:
 
 
·
until such time as TEP Chile sells any of its LAN common shares (other than the exempted shares (as defined below) held by TEP Chile, the LAN controlling shareholders will vote their LAN common shares to elect to the board of directors of LATAM any individual designated by TEP Chile unless TEP Chile beneficially owns enough LAN common shares to directly elect two directors to the board of directors of LATAM;
 
 
·
to vote their LAN common shares to assist the other parties in removing and replacing the directors with such other parties elected to the board of directors of LATAM;

·
to maintain the size of the board of directors of LATAM at a total of nine directors and to maintain the quorum required for action by the board of directors of LATAM at a majority of the total number of directors of the board of directors of LATAM; and
 
 
·
if, after good faith efforts to reach an agreement with respect to any action that requires supermajority approval under Chilean law and a mediation period, the parties do not reach such an agreement then TEP Chile has agreed to vote its shares on such supermajority matter as directed by the LAN controlling shareholders (which we refer to as a “directed vote” ).
 
The number of “exempted shares” of TEP Chile means that number of LAN common shares which TEP Chile owns immediately after the effective time in excess of 12.5% of the outstanding LAN common shares at such time as determined on a fully diluted basis
 
The parties to the Holdco I shareholders agreement and TAM shareholders agreement have agreed to vote their voting shares of Holdco I and shares of TAM so as to give effect to the agreements with respect to representation on the board of directors of TAM discussed above.
 
Transfer Restrictions
 
Pursuant to the control group shareholders agreement, the LAN controlling shareholders and TEP Chile are subject to certain restrictions on sales, transfers and pledges of the LAN common shares and (in the case of TEP Chile only) the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by them. Except for a limited amount of LAN common shares, neither the LAN controlling shareholders nor TEP Chile may sell any of its LAN common shares, and TEP Chile may not sell its voting shares of Holdco I, until the third anniversary of the effective time. Thereafter, sales of LAN common shares by either party are permitted, subject to (i) certain limitations on the volume and frequency of such sales and (ii) in the case of TEP Chile only, TEP Chile satisfying certain minimum ownership requirements. After the tenth anniversary of the effective time, TEP Chile may sell all of its LAN common shares and voting shares of Holdco I as a block, subject to (x) approval of the transferee by the board of directors of LATAM, (y) the condition that the sale not have an adverse effect (as defined below) and (z) a right of first offer in favor of the LAN controlling shareholders (which we refer to collectively as “block sale provisions”). An “adverse effect” is defined in the control group shareholders agreement to mean a material adverse effect on LATAM’s and Holdco I’s ability to own or receive the full benefits of ownership of TAM and its subsidiaries or the ability of TAM and its subsidiaries to operate their airline businesses worldwide. The LAN controlling shareholders have agreed to transfer to LAN any voting shares of Holdco I acquired pursuant to such right of first offer to LAN for the same consideration paid for such shares.

 
-187-

 
 
In addition, TEP Chile may sell all LAN common shares and voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by it as a block, subject to satisfaction of the block sale provisions, after the third anniversary of the effective time if a release event (as described below) occurs or if TEP Chile is required to make two or more directed votes during any twenty-four month period at two meetings (consecutive or not) of the shareholders of LAN held at least twelve months apart and LAN has not yet fully exercised its conversion option described below. A “release event” will occur if (i) a capital increase of LATAM occurs, (ii) TEP Chile does not fully exercise the preemptive rights granted to it under applicable law in Chile with respect to such capital increase in respect of all of its restricted LAN common shares, and (iii) after such capital increase is completed, the individual designated by TEP Chile for election to the board of directors of LATAM with the assistance of the LAN controlling shareholders is not elected to the board of directors of LATAM.
 
In addition, after the tenth anniversary of the effective time and after the occurrence of the full ownership trigger date (as described under the “—Conversion Option” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 188), TEP Chile may sell all or any portion of its LAN common shares, subject to (x) a right of first offer in favor of the LAN controlling shareholders and (y) the restrictions on sales of LAN common shares more than once in a 12-month period.
 
The control group shareholders agreement provides certain exceptions to these restrictions on transfer for certain pledges of LAN common shares made by the parties and for transfers to affiliates, in each case under certain limited circumstances.
 
In addition, TEP Chile agreed in the Holdco I shareholders agreement not to vote its voting shares of Holdco I, or to take any other action, in support of any transfer by Holdco I of any equity securities or convertible securities issued by it or by any of TAM or its subsidiaries without LAN’s prior written consent.
 
Restriction on transfer of TAM shares.
 
LAN agreed in the Holdco I shareholders agreement not to sell or transfer any TAM shares to any person (other than LAN’s affiliates) at any time when TEP Chile owns any voting shares of Holdco I. However, LAN will have the right to effect such a sale or transfer if, at the same time as such sale or transfer, LAN (or its assignee) acquires all of the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by TEP Chile for an amount equal to TEP Chile’s then current tax basis in such shares and any costs TEP Chile is required to incur to effect such sale or transfer. TEP Chile has irrevocably granted LAN the assignable right to purchase all of the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by it in connection with any such sale.
 
Conversion Option
 
Pursuant to the control group shareholders agreement and the Holdco I shareholders agreement, LAN has the unilateral right to convert LAN’s shares of non-voting stock of Holdco I into shares of voting stock of Holdco I to the maximum extent allowed under law and to increase LAN’s representation on the TAM and Holdco I boards of directors if and when permitted in accordance with foreign ownership control laws in Brazil and other applicable laws if the conversion would not have an adverse effect (as defined under the “—Transfer Restrictions” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 187).
 
On or after the tenth anniversary of the effective time and after LAN has fully converted all of its shares of non-voting stock of Holdco I into shares of voting stock of Holdco I as permitted by Brazilian law and other applicable laws, LAN will have the right to purchase all of the voting shares of Holdco I held by the TAM controlling shareholders for an amount equal to their then current tax basis in such shares and any costs incurred by them to effect such sale (which we refer to as the “sale consideration”). If LAN does not timely exercise LAN’s right to purchase these shares or if, after the tenth anniversary of the effective time, LAN has the right under applicable Brazilian law and other applicable law to fully convert all the shares of non-voting stock of Holdco I beneficially owned by LAN into shares of voting stock of Holdco I and such conversion would not have an adverse effect but LAN has not fully exercised such right within a specified period, then the TAM controlling shareholders will have the right to put their shares of voting stock of Holdco I to LAN for an amount equal to the sale consideration.

 
-188-

 
 
Acquisitions of TAM Stock
 
The parties have agreed that all acquisitions of TAM common shares by any member of the LATAM Group from and after the effective time will be made by Holdco I.

 
-189-

 

 
In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of TAM that you should approve the exchange offer and tender your TAM shares or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer, you should be aware that certain directors and executive officers of TAM may have financial or other interests in the proposed combination that may be different from, or in addition to, those of the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs generally. The board of directors of TAM was aware of and considered these potential interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the transaction agreements, in approving the exchange offer and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements and in recommending to you that you approve the exchange offer and tender your TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer.
 
In addition, certain members of the LAN board of directors and management own, directly or indirectly through Costa Verde Internacional (which we refer to as “CVI”) 524,327 TAM shares. CVI is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, whose address is Chambers, P.O. Box 3152, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. For more information regarding TAM shares owned by members of the board of directors of LAN, see the “—Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of LAN” section below in this section.
 
Board Representation
 
Pursuant to the LAN-TEP shareholders agreement, Mr. Maurício Rolim Amaro will be the chairman of the board of directors of LATAM for the first two years following the effective time. Pursuant to the control group shareholders agreement, until such time as TEP Chile sells any of its LAN common shares (other than the exempted shares), unless TEP Chile beneficially owns enough LAN common shares to elect two directors to the board of directors of LATAM by voting such shares, the LAN controlling shareholders have agreed to vote their LAN common shares to elect to the board of directors of LATAM any individual designated by TEP Chile.
 
The LAN controlling shareholders intend to implement these agreements upon completion of the exchange offer and the mergers by obtaining the voluntary resignation of two directors of LAN’s board of directors and requesting that LAN’s board of directors, in accordance with Chilean law, appoint the corresponding replacement directors to serve until the next ordinary shareholders’ meeting.
 
Pursuant to the Holdco I shareholders agreement and the TAM shareholders agreement, Maria Cláudia Oliveira Amaro will be the chairman of the boards of directors of Holdco I and TAM for the first two years following the effective time.

Director Liability under the Securities Act
 
No provision of LAN’s By-laws provides for the indemnification of its directors and officers. Under Chilean law, a director or officer of a corporation will not be liable for actions within the scope of his or her authority, provided that the director or officer exercised his or her duty of care.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, LAN has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

On July 6, 2007, the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros (or Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor) fined Juan José Cueto Plaza 1,620 Unidades de Fomento (approximately US$58,000) in connection with the purchase of LAN common shares that he carried out through Inversiones Mineras del Cantábrico S.A. on July 24, 2006. The SVS considered that such purchase had breached an obligation not to acquire LAN common shares until the financial statements of LAN had become publicly available, in alleged violation of Article 165, paragraph 1 of Law No. 18,045 of October 22, 1981. The SVS ruled that, although Mr. Cueto Plaza had not used any privileged information, LAN’s financial statements should be considered to be privileged information per se, and thus, created a duty to abstain from trading the securities prior to the disclosure of the financial statements. Juan José Cueto Plaza filed a claim challenging the fine levied by the SVS before the 27° Civil Court of Santiago, which in turn rejected his claim on January 8, 2009. Subsequently, Juan José Cueto Plaza filed an appeal of this judgment before the Santiago Court of Appeals, which was rejected on March 8, 2010. On March 19, 2010, Juan José Cueto Plaza filed a Recurso de Casación en la Forma and a Recurso de Casación en el Fondo against the judgment before the Chilean Supreme Court. A final decision on this appeal is pending.

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF
 
LAN SECURITIES AND TAM SECURITIES
 
Upon completion of the exchange offer, holders of TAM shares that are tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer will receive in exchange LAN common shares in the form of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs. If a holder surrenders its LAN ADSs to the LAN ADS depositary or surrenders its LAN BDSs to the LAN LAN BDS depositary, as applicable, and withdraws the underlying LAN common shares, it will become a shareholder of LAN. LAN is a sociedad anónima abierta (publicly held corporation) incorporated under the laws of Chile. Shareholders’ rights in a Chilean company are generally governed by the company’s by-laws. Article 22 of the Chilean Corporation Law states that the purchaser of shares of a company implicitly accepts its by-laws and any agreements adopted at shareholders’ meetings. Additionally, the Chilean Corporation Law and Chilean corporation regulations regulate the government and operation of corporations (sociedades anónimas, or S.A.) and provides for certain shareholder rights. Article 137 of the Chilean Corporation Law provides that Chilean Corporation Law takes precedence over any contrary provision in a corporation’s by-laws. Finally, Decree-Law 3500, which allows pension funds to invest in the stock of qualified corporations, indirectly affects corporate governance and prescribes certain rights of shareholders. LAN is also subject to the provisions of the Chilean Corporation Law and the Securities Market Law that set forth the rules and requirements for establishing publicly held corporations.
 
The framework of the Chilean securities market is regulated by the Chilean exchange entity, the SVS, under the Securities Market Law and the Chilean Corporation Law, which imposes certain disclosure requirements, restricts insider trading, prohibits price manipulation and protects minority investors. Both the Chilean Corporation Law and the Securities Market Law state rules and requirements for establishing publicly held corporations. In particular, the Securities Market Law and the rules and regulations issued by the SVS establish requirements for public offerings, stock exchanges and brokers and outlines disclosure requirements for corporations that issue publicly offered securities. As a publicly held corporation, LAN is also subject to these rules and regulations.
 
The following is a summary comparison of the material differences between:
 
 
·
the current rights of holders of TAM common and TAM preferred shares under the applicable laws of Brazil, the rules and regulations of the CVM, Bovespa Corporate Governance Level 2 Listing Regulation (which we refer to as the “Corporate Governance Level 2 Listing Regulation”) and TAM’s by-laws; and
 
 
·
the current rights of holders of LAN common shares under applicable laws and regulations of Chile, the rules and regulations of the SVS and LAN’s by-laws.
 
The summary in this section is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and is subject to, the detailed provisions of applicable Brazilian law and Chilean law, the full by-laws of LAN in Spanish, an English translation of which has been filed as an exhibit to LAN’s Registration Statement on Form F-4 with respect to the exchange offer of which this offer to exchange/prospectus is a part and which has been filed with the SEC, and the full by-laws of TAM in Portuguese, an English translation of which has been filed as an exhibit to the TAM 2010 Form 20-F incorporated by reference into this offer to exchange/prospectus. This is a summary only and therefore does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For more complete information, you should read LAN’s by-laws, TAM’s by-laws and the applicable provisions of Brazilian law and Chilean law. You should also read the summary description of the LAN common shares under the “Description of Our Shares of Common Stock” section in the LAN 2010 Form 20-F, which is incorporated by reference into this offer to exchange/prospectus, as it includes additional information about the rights of holders of LAN common shares.

Securities issued by TAM are traded on the special segment of the stock market operated by Bovespa known as Corporate Governance Level 2, which sets forth enhanced corporate governance standards for the listing of companies, as well as rules applicable to senior managers and shareholders, including controlling shareholders.
 
As of the date of this offer to exchange/prospectus, LAN’s share capital consisted of 339,334,209 LAN common shares, all of which were subscribed and fully paid.

Preemptive Rights
     
The shareholders have preemptive rights, proportional to the shares they own, to subscribe for shares issued as part of an increase in capital, to an issuance of convertible debentures and to subscription bonuses.
 
The board of directors may exclude such preemptive rights if the placement of such securities is made:  (i) by sale on a stock exchange or by public subscription; or (ii) pursuant to an exchange for shares in a public offer for the acquisition of control in accordance with Brazilian corporation law.
 
LAN is required under Chilean corporate law to offer its existing shareholders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing percentage of ownership in LAN whenever LAN issues new LAN common shares for cash.
 
Preemptive rights are exercisable, freely transferable or waivable by shareholders during a 30-day period commencing upon publication of the official notice announcing the start of the preemptive rights period in the newspaper designated by the shareholders.

During such 30-day period (except for shares as to which preemptive rights have been waived), LAN is not permitted to offer any newly issued common shares for sale to third parties. For that additional 30-day period and any additional 30-day period, LAN is not permitted to offer any unsubscribed LAN common shares for sale to third parties on terms that are more favorable to the purchaser than those offered to LAN’s shareholders. At the end of such additional 30-day period, LAN is authorized to sell non-subscribed shares to third parties on any terms, provided they are sold on a Chilean stock exchange.

Increases in Share Capital
     
According to Brazilian law, the share capital may be increased:  (i) by a resolution, made at an ordinary shareholders meeting, to reflect monetary adjusting; (ii) by a board resolution or resolution made at a shareholders meeting to issue common shares or preferred shares up to the authorized limit which, in the case of TAM, is R$1,200,000,000.00; (iii) by conversion of debentures or founders’ shares into shares and by the exercise of rights conferred by subscription bonuses or of an option to purchase shares; or (iv) if the authorization to increase the capital has been exhausted, by resolution of an extraordinary shareholders meeting convened to pass an appropriate amendment to the by-laws.
 
The fiscal council, if in operation, must opine before a vote is taken on any resolution to increase the capital, except in the case of item (iii) above.
 
A company may increase its capital through a public or private subscription of shares, subject to the specific provisions set forth in Brazilian corporation law, and after at least three-quarters of its capital has been paid up.
 
The shareholders have preemptive rights to subscribe for shares issued as part of an increase in capital, to an issuance of convertible debentures and to subscription bonuses, subject to certain exceptions set forth in Brazilian corporation law (see “—Preemptive Rights”).
 
Under Chilean law, the shareholders of a company, acting at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, have the power to authorize an increase in the company’s share capital. When an investor subscribes for issued shares, the shares are registered in that investor’s name, even without payment therefor, and the investor is treated as a shareholder for all purposes except with regard to receipt of dividends and return of capital, provided that the shareholders may, by amending the by-laws, also grant the right to receive dividends of distribution of capital. The investor becomes eligible to receive dividends once it has paid for the shares, or, if it has paid for only a portion of such shares, it is entitled to receive a corresponding pro rata portion of the dividends declared with respect to such shares, unless the company’s by-laws provide otherwise. If an investor does not pay for shares for which it has subscribed on or prior to the date agreed upon for payment, the board of directors shall collect the owed amounts from the relevant investor, unless the shareholders, by a vote of two-thirds of the issued shares, authorize the board to avoid such collection, in which event, the company’s share capital shall be reduced to the paid amounts. Once the collection actions fail, the board shall propose, at the shareholders meeting, to reduce the company’s share capital to the paid amounts. In addition, the company is entitled under Chilean law to auction the shares on the appropriate stock exchange, and it has a cause of action against the investor to recover the difference between the subscription price and the price received for the sale of those shares at auction. However, until such shares are sold at auction, the investor continues to exercise all the rights of a shareholder (except the right to receive dividends and return of capital). Shares issued but not paid for within the period determined by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting for their payment (which in any case cannot exceed three years from the date of such shareholders’ meeting which authorizes the increase in capital) will be canceled and will no longer be available for issuance by LAN. Fully paid shares are not subject to further calls or assessments or to liabilities of LAN.

Capital Reduction
     
According to Brazilian corporation law, shareholders at a shareholders meeting may resolve to reduce the capital in the case of a loss, up to the amount of any accrued losses, or if they deem the capital of the company to be excessive. When a proposal to reduce the capital is made by the officers, it may not be submitted to a shareholders meeting without the opinion of the fiscal council, if such council is in operation. In addition, after the approval of the capital reduction, the rights relating to shares for which certificates have been issued shall be suspended until they have been presented to the company for substitution.
 
Subject to some conditions, a capital reduction effected by the repayment to the shareholders of part of the value of their shares or, if the shares are not fully paid up, by decreasing their value to the extent to which they have been paid up, shall only become effective 60 days after publication of the minutes of the shareholders meeting at which such a decision was passed. During such 60-day term, the unsecured creditors of securities issued before the date of publication of the minutes may oppose the reduction by filing a notice to this effect at the corporate registry relevant to the location of the head office of the company.
 
The Chilean Corporations Law allows capital reductions only in the following specific cases:
 
·     LAN may issue shares, which will be offered at the price that the shareholders meeting freely determines. If the value obtained in the placement of such shares is lower than the one resulting from dividing the equity to be contributed by the issued shares, this difference will constitute a reduction of the equity to be contributed, therefore, a capital reduction.
 
·    when the value of the shares in the market is lower than the redemption value that proportionally corresponds to each shareholder.
 
·    when the shares subscribed by a shareholder are not paid within the term provided in the company’s by-laws or at the relevant shareholders meeting that approved a capital increase, or in a maximum 3-year term, the capital of the company is reduced to the amount of actually paid shares.
 
·   capital reduction agreements must be adopted by two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares. For proceeding with the diminished capital distribution or devolution, or with the acquisition of shares through which such reduction is intended to be implemented, 30 days must pass since the publication in the Official Gazette of the excerpt of the corresponding modification. Moreover, ten days after the publication referred to above, such capital reduction must be published in a national circulation newspaper and in the internet web site of those publicly held corporations that have one.
 
If LAN is declared bankrupt, the credits of LAN’s creditors will be paid first, then the credits owned by LAN shareholders in virtue of a capital reduction.
     
Right to Install the Fiscal Council
     
When not operating on a permanent basis, the fiscal council shall be appointed at a shareholders meeting at the request of shareholders representing at least two percent of the voting shares or one percent of the non-voting shares, and the term of such fiscal council shall terminate at the ordinary shareholders meeting first held after the fiscal council's appointment.

The following rules shall be observed in appointing the fiscal council:
 
·    the holders of preferred shares without voting rights or with restricted voting rights shall be entitled to elect one member and his alternate in a separate election; the minority shareholders shall have the same right, provided they jointly represent 10% or more of the voting shares; and
 
·     notwithstanding the provision above, shareholders with the right to vote may elect effective members and alternates equal in number to those elected pursuant to the bullet point above, plus one.
   
     
Mandatory Public Offerings
     
The transfer of shareholder control of the company, either through a single transaction or through successive transactions, should be contracted subject to either a precedent or terminating condition, whereby the party acquiring the control undertakes to formulate, pursuant to the terms set forth in the Corporate Governance Level 2 Listing Regulation, a public offering for the acquisition of all of the shares of the other shareholders of the company on the same terms and conditions agreed to with the controlling shareholder transferring the control, and at the same price paid per common share for the controlling block.
 
A public offering in the same terms above should also be made:  (i) in the event that there is an onerous transfer of subscription rights and other securities or rights related to securities that may be converted into shares, which results in the transfer of control in the company; (ii) in the event of the transfer of control of the controlling shareholder of the company; (iii) if an entity that already held shares in the company acquires the shareholder control power, as a result of a private share purchase agreement executed with the controlling shareholder, involving any number of shares.
 
In the case of item (iii) above, the acquiring party must also indemnify the shareholders from whom it has purchased shares on the stock exchange in the six months prior to the date on which the company control was transferred, and it should pay them any difference between the price paid to the transferring shareholder and the amount paid on the stock exchange for the shares of the company during this same period.
 
Title XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law provides that the following transactions shall be carried out through a tender offer:
 
(a) an offer which allows a person to take control of a public corporation;
 
(b) an offer that any person or group of persons with a joint action agreement shall make for all the outstanding shares of a public corporation upon acquiring two-thirds or more of its shares of stock with right to vote; and
 
(c) if a person intends to gain control of a company which in turn controls a public company and the shares of the public company represent 75% or more of such company’s consolidated assets, it must first launch a tender offer to acquire shares of the listed company for an amount of shares necessary to acquire the control of the same.
 
The offeror must address the tender offer to all the shareholders of the target corporation or to all the holders of a given class of shares. If the number of shares included in the offer acceptances exceed the number of shares offered to acquire, the offeror must buy the shares from the accepting shareholders on a pro rata basis. When the target has different classes of shares and one classes has preeminence in the control of the corporation, any person making an offer to purchase shares of the classes with pre-eminence in the control shall make an offer for the same percentage of shares of the other classes.

Upon the public offering of share acquisitions:  (i) to be carried out by the company or by the controlling shareholder for the cancellation of the corporate status of the company; or (ii) to be carried out by the controlling shareholder in the event that TAM elects to cease to follow the Corporate Governance Level 2 Listing Regulation (either due to a corporate restructuring or if TAM's shares are to be registered for trading out of Level 2), the minimum price to be offered should be calculated based on the economic value of the shares determined in an appraisal report, which shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Corporate Governance Level 2 Listing Regulation and applicable legal provisions.
 
The appointment of the appraiser (a specialized company responsible for appraising the economic value of TAM’s shares) shall be approved by a resolution made at a shareholders meeting. Such appointment shall be made based on the presentation, by the board of directors, of a list of three candidates and the resolution must be passed by general quorum approval. The quorum for a meeting at which this resolution is passed must be 20% of all the shares outstanding on the first call, or, if held on the second call, any number of shareholders.
 
Further, for the purposes of this resolution, votes left blank shall not be counted and each share, irrespective of its type or class, shall be granted the right to one vote.
 
Exceptions:  Even within the scenarios described in (a), (b) or (c) above, the provisions of Title XXV do not apply to the acquisition of the following shares:  (1) those issued by a public corporation as a result of a capital increase that would allow the acquirer to take control of the issuer; (2) those acquired from the controller of a public corporation, provided that the shares are quoted in the stock exchanges and that their sale price is paid in cash and is not substantially higher than their market price. The term market price of a share is defined by the Securities Market Law as the price resulting from calculating the weighted average of stock exchange transactions, which have been carried out between the ninetieth stock exchange business day and the thirtieth stock exchange business day prior to the date on which the acquisition must be carried out. The term “substantially higher than the market price” has been defined by the SVS as a price that is equal to or higher than ten percent over the market price; (3) those resulting from a merger; (4) those acquired mortis causa; and (5) those acquired in forced sales. In addition, there is an exception for acquisitions made pursuant to shareholders’ agreements registered with a public corporation prior to the enactment of Title XXV.
     
Notice of Shareholders’ Meetings
     
The TAM board of directors is the competent body for calling TAM shareholders meetings. In specific cases, shareholders meetings may also be called:  (i) by the fiscal council; (ii) by any shareholder if, in any of the cases set forth by Brazilian corporation law or by the company by-laws, the directors do not call the meeting 60 days after the mandatory term; (iii) by shareholders representing at least five percent of the capital, whenever the directors do not comply, within eight days, with such shareholders’ request that a meeting be called, indicating the justification for its necessity and the matters to be discussed; or (iv) by shareholders representing at least five percent of the voting capital, or five percent of non-voting shareholders, whenever the officers do not comply, within eight days, with such shareholders’ request that a meeting be called in order to appoint a fiscal council.
 
Notice to convene the ordinary annual meeting or an extraordinary meeting is given by means of three notices which must be published in a newspaper of LAN’s corporate domicile (currently Santiago, Chile), which is designated by the shareholders at their annual meeting and, if the shareholders fail to make such designation, the notice must be published in the Chilean Official Gazette in accordance with Chilean law. The first notice must be published not less than 15 days and not more than 20 days in advance of the scheduled meeting. Notice also must be mailed not less than 15 days in advance of the meeting to each shareholder and to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges. Currently, LAN publishes its official notice in the newspaper La Tercera.

Notice of TAM shareholders meetings must be published at least three times in the Diário Oficial do Estado, the official newspaper of the state in which TAM’s headquarters is located, and another newspaper in general circulation, currently Valor Econômico. The first call shall be made 15 days in advance, and the second call eight days in advance.
   
     
Amendments to By-laws Establishing, Modifying or Eliminating Rights of a Series of Shares
 
Any amendments to the by-laws that have the effect of establishing, modifying or eliminating any special rights pertaining to any series of shares must be approved by more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the affected series. Such amendments may trigger withdrawal rights (see "-Withdrawal Right of Dissenting Shareholders").
 
Amendments to the by-laws establishing, modifying, extending or eliminating any special rights require the consenting vote of two-thirds of the shares of the affected series.
     
Approval of the Financial Statements
     
The board of directors of TAM is required to submit consolidated financial statements to the shareholders for their approval at the ordinary shareholders meeting.
 
At least one of the officers of the company, as well as the independent auditor, shall be present at the meeting to render any explanations or clarifications requested by the shareholders. Should the shareholders meeting require further clarification, it may postpone the resolution and order an investigation. Subject to a waiver by the shareholders present at the meeting, the meeting may be adjourned if an officer, a member of the fiscal council or the independent auditor fails to attend the meeting.
 
The approval, without reservations, of the financial statements and accounts exempts the officers and members of the fiscal council from liability except in relation to errors, bad faith, fraud or misrepresentations.
 
The board of directors of LAN is required to submit consolidated financial statements to the shareholders of LAN for their approval at the annual ordinary shareholders meeting. If the shareholders reject the financial statements, the board of directors of LAN must submit new financial statements no later than 60 days from the date of the meeting. If the shareholders reject the new financial statements, the entire board of directors of LAN is removed from office and a new board of directors is elected at the same meeting. Directors who approved such financial statements are disqualified for re-election for the ensuing period.
     
Dividend and Liquidation Rights
 
TAM must distribute at least 25% of the balance of the net profit (net profit is equal to total profit minus legal deductions) from the preceding fiscal year as mandatory dividends. Net profit shall be calculated in accordance with Brazilian law and generally accepted accounting principles in Brazil (which we refer to as “Brazilian GAAP”). Dividends can be paid out to shareholders in cash, shares or the right to receive additional shares.
 
LAN must distribute an annual cash dividend equal to at least 30% of its annual net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile (which we refer to as “Chilean GAAP”), unless otherwise decided by a unanimous vote of the holders of all issued shares, and unless and except to the extent LAN has accumulated losses.

TAM may suspend the mandatory dividend in any year in the event that the board of directors informs the shareholders meeting that a distribution would not be feasible in light of TAM’s financial situation. The fiscal council, if in operation, shall deliver an opinion on such statement and, in a publicly traded company, the officers shall forward to the CVM, within five days of holding the shareholders meeting, an explanation justifying the suspension.
 
TAM must maintain a legal reserve into which it must allocate five percent profit for each year until the reserved amount is equal to 20% of the paid-up capital.
 
Intermediary dividends may be distributed based on the accumulated profits account or existing profit reserves upon resolution by the board of directors and ad referendum of a shareholders meeting. However, intermediary dividends are always considered an advance of the mandatory dividends.
 
In the event of liquidation, preferred shareholders have priority in the reimbursement of capital, without premium.
 
 
 
If there is no net income in a given year, LAN can elect to, but is not legally obligated to, distribute dividends out of retained earnings. All outstanding LAN common shares are entitled to share equally in all dividends declared by LAN.
 
LAN may grant an option to shareholders to receive any dividend in excess of 30% of net income in cash, in its own shares or in shares of publicly held corporations held by LAN.
 
Dividends that are declared but not paid within the appropriate time period set forth in the Chilean Corporation Law (as to minimum dividends, 30 days after declaration; as to additional dividends, the date set for payment at the time of declaration) are adjusted to reflect the change in the value of the UF. The UF is a daily indexed, Chilean peso-denominated accounting unit designed to discount the effect of Chilean inflation and it is based on the previous month’s inflation rate as officially determined. Such dividends also accrue interest at the then-prevailing rate for UF-denominated deposits during such period.
 
In the event of LAN’s liquidation, the holders of fully paid LAN common shares would participate pro rata in the distribution of assets remaining after payment of all creditors. Holders of shares not fully paid will participate in such distribution in proportion to the amount paid.
     
Withdrawal Right of Dissenting Shareholders to Tender Their Shares
     
A dissenting shareholder has the right to have its shares reimbursed upon the approval of the following matters:
 
·    creating preferred shares or increasing an existing class of preferred shares without maintaining the existing ratio with the remaining class of preferred shares, unless already set forth in, or authorized by, the by-laws;
 
·     altering a preference, a privilege or a condition of redemption or amortization conferred upon one or more classes of preferred shares, or creating a new, more favored class;
 
·     reducing the compulsory dividend;
 
·     merging the company with another company or consolidating it;
 
The Chilean Corporation Law provides that, upon the adoption at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders of any of the resolutions enumerated below, dissenting shareholders acquire the right to withdraw and to compel the company to repurchase their shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions.
 
This right will be suspended if the company is declared bankrupt or is subject to a creditor’s agreement under Chilean Law.
 
Under Chilean Corporation Law, dissenting shareholders are those who attend a shareholders’ meeting and vote against a resolution which results in the withdrawal right, or, if absent at such a meeting, those who state in writing to the company their opposition to such resolution within the following 30 days. Dissenting shareholders must perfect their withdrawal rights by tendering their stock to the company within 30 days after adoption of the resolution.

·     participating in a group of companies;
 
·     changing the corporate purpose; and
 
·     dividing the company.
 
The reimbursement must only be made in accordance with the following rules:
 
·     in the case of the first two bullets above, only the shareholder of the prejudiced types and classes of shares shall have the right to withdraw;
 
·     in the case of the fourth and fifth bullets above, the holder of shares of a class or type that has market liquidity and dispersion shall not have the right to withdraw. For these purposes:  (i) liquidity is evidenced when the type or class of share, or the certificate that represents it, is part of a general index representing a portfolio of securities in Brazil or abroad, defined by the CVM; and (ii) dispersion is evidenced when the majority shareholder, the controlling company or other companies under their control hold less than half of the issued shares of the applicable type or class;
 
·     in the case of the final bullet above, there shall only be a right to withdraw if the division results in:  (i) a change in the corporate purposes, except when the divided company is transferred to a company with a main line of business that coincides with the line of business of the divided company; (ii) a reduction in the mandatory dividend; or (iii) participation in a group of companies.
 
When requesting the reimbursement of its shares, the shareholder has the following rights:
 
·     the amount of a reimbursement may not be less than the net worth of the shares as stated in the last balance sheet approved by the shareholders meeting, provided that, and subject to the exceptions below, the reimbursement value is calculated in accordance with the economic value of the company; and
 
The price paid to a dissenting shareholder of a publicly held corporation is the weighted average of the sales prices for the shares as reported on the Chilean stock exchanges on which the shares are quoted for the two-month period preceding the event giving rise to the withdrawal right. If, because of the volume, frequency, number and diversity of the buyers and sellers, the SVS determines that the shares are not shares actively traded on a stock exchange (acciones de transacción bursátil), the price paid to the dissenting shareholder is the book value. Book value for this purpose equals paid capital plus reserves and profits, minus losses, divided by the total number of subscribed shares (whether entirely or partially paid). For the purpose of making this calculation, the last annual balance sheet is used and adjusted to reflect inflation up to the date of the shareholders’ meeting that gave rise to the withdrawal right.
 
The resolutions that result in a shareholder’s right to withdraw are the following:
 
·     the transformation of the company into an entity that is not a publicly held corporation governed by the Chilean Corporation Law;
 
·     the merger of the company with or into another company;
 
·     the conveyance of 50% or more of the assets of the company, whether or not such sale includes the company’s liabilities, that will be determined subject to the annual financial statements; and the submittal of, or changes to, any business plan that contemplates the conveyance of assets in an amount that exceeds the percentage mentioned above; the conveyance of 50% or more of a subsidiary’s assets, as long as this subsidiary represents 20% or more of company’s assets, as any conveyance of the subsidiary’s assets that implies that company loses the control of such subsidiary;
 
·     the creation of preferential rights for a class of shares or an increase, extension or reduction to those already existing, in which case the right to withdraw only accrues to the dissenting shareholders of the class or classes of shares adversely affected;

·     if the decision of the shareholders meeting is taken more than 60 days after the date of the last approved balance sheet, the dissenting shareholder may demand, together with the refund, that a special balance sheet be prepared as of a date within such 60-day period. In such a case, the company shall forthwith pay 80% of the refund amount calculated according to the last balance sheet and, after the special balance sheet is ready, it shall pay the balance within 120 days from the date of the resolution of the shareholders meeting.
 
The sale of more than 50% of TAM’s stake in TAM L.A. to a third party would be considered a change in TAM’s corporate purpose and would give TAM’s shareholders the right (subject to Brazilian corporation law and TAM’s by-laws) to withdraw their shareholdings and receive the economic value of their shares.
 
·     the correction of any formal defect in the incorporation of the company or any amendment to the company’s by-laws that grants the right to withdraw;
 
·     the granting of security interests or personal guarantees to secure or guarantee third parties’ obligations exceeding 50% of the company’s assets, except with regard to subsidiaries;
 
·     resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting approving the decision to make private a public corporation in the case the legal requirements to be considered a public corporation cease to be met; and
 
·     such other causes as may be established by the company’s by-laws (no such additional resolutions currently are specified in LAN’s by-laws).
 
In addition, (i) shareholders of publicly held corporations have the right to withdraw if a person acquires two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of such corporation with the right to vote (except as a result of other shareholders not having subscribed and paid a capital increase) and does not make a tender exchange offer for the remaining shares within 30 days after acquisition; and (ii) minority shareholders of publicly held corporations have the right to withdraw if a person acquires more than 95% of the outstanding shares of such corporation.
 
Under Article 69(bis) of the Chilean Corporation Law, the right to withdraw is also granted to shareholders (other than pension funds that administer private pension plans under the national pension law), under certain terms and conditions, if a company were to become controlled by the Chilean government, directly or through any of its agencies, and if two independent rating agencies downgrade the rating of its stock from first class because of certain actions specified in Article 69(bis) undertaken by the company or the Chilean government that affect negatively and substantially the earnings of the company. Shareholders must perfect their withdrawal rights by tendering their shares to the company within 30 days of the date of the publication of the new rating by two independent rating agencies. If the withdrawal right is exercised by a shareholder invoking Article 69(bis), the price paid to the dissenting shareholder shall be the weighted average of the sales price for the shares as reported on the stock exchanges on which the company’s shares are quoted for the six-month period preceding the publication of the new rating by two independent rating agencies. If, as previously described, the SVS determines that the shares are not actively traded on a stock exchange, the price shall be the book value calculated as described above.

Ownership Restrictions
 
There are no restrictions on ownership of TAM shares held by individuals or legal entities domiciled outside Brazil. However, the right to convert dividend payments, sale proceeds or other amounts, eligible to be remitted in foreign currency outside Brazil is subject to registration of investments with the Central Bank.
 
Foreign investors must either register their investment as a direct foreign investment before the Central Bank of Brazil under Law 4,131/62, or as a foreign portfolio investment before the CVM under Resolution No. 2,689/00 and Instruction No. 325.
 
Foreign investors with direct foreign investments registered under Law 4,131/62 may buy and sell through private transactions or transactions conducted through the Bovespa or over-the-counter market and are generally subject to less favorable tax treatment as compared to foreign investors with investments in portfolios pursuant to Resolution No. 2,689/00 and Instruction No. 325.
 
Under Resolution No. 2,689/00, foreign investors with portfolio investments registered with the CVM may only buy and sell shares on the stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market, except in certain cases, such as the acquisition of shares in public offerings. Investors under these regulations are also generally entitled to favorable tax treatment.
 
 
 
Under Article 12 of the Securities Market Law and Regulation n. 269 of the SVS, certain information regarding transactions in shares of publicly held corporations must be reported to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges on which the shares are listed. Any person that directly or indirectly owns 10% or more of LAN shares, or that due to an acquisition of shares obtains such percentage, and the directors liquidators, principal officers, general manager or managers of LAN will be required to report to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges at the latest the day after the following transactions were made:
 
·     any acquisition or sale of LAN’s shares; and
·     any acquisition or sale of contracts or securities which price or result is significantly conditioned by the variation or evolution of the price of such securities.
 
Article 200 of the Securities Market Law prohibits any shareholder that has taken control of a publicly traded company from acquiring, for a period of 12 months from the date of the transaction that granted it control of the publicly traded company, a number of shares equal to or higher than 3.0% of the outstanding issued shares of the target without making a tender exchange offer at a price per share not lower than the price paid at the time of taking control. Should the acquisition from the other shareholders of the company be made on the floor of a stock exchange and on a pro rata basis, the controlling shareholder may purchase a higher percentage of shares, if so permitted by the regulations of the stock exchange.
     
Rights of shareholders or groups of shareholders whose
equity participation exceeds certain legal thresholds
 
In addition to the other rights mentioned in this chart, shareholders holding at least five percent of the share capital may:
 
·     call a meeting of the board of directors, whenever the officers of the company do not, within eight days, comply with a request that a meeting be called, indicating the justification for its necessity and the matters to be discussed;
 
Chilean Corporation Law provides that shareholder(s) holding at least 10% or more of all of the issued and outstanding shares may request the corporation (acting through its chairperson) to summon an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders’ meeting in order to discuss and/or resolve the matters requested by such shareholder(s).

o     infringing its obligation to loyally respect and heed the rights and interests of the other shareholders of the company, those who work for the company and the community in which it operates; and
 
The Chilean Corporation Law provides that, whenever shareholders representing 10% or more of the issued voting shares so request, a Chilean company’s annual report must include such shareholders’ comments and proposal in relation to the company’s affairs. Similarly, the Chilean Corporation Law provides that whenever the board of directors of a publicly held corporation convenes an ordinary meeting of the shareholders and solicits proxies for that meeting, or distributes information supporting its decisions or other similar material, it is obligated to include as an annex to its annual report any pertinent comments and proposals that may have been made by shareholders owning 10% or more of the company’s voting shares who have requested that such comments and proposals be included.
 
Shareholders representing at least 20% of the issued voting shares may judicially request the dissolution of the corporation in certain cases, such as (a) serious infringement of the law or other applicable regulations, which result in damages to the shareholders or to the corporation; (b) bankruptcy; (c) fraudulent administration; or (d) other equally serious events.
 
Shareholders that represent at least 5% of the issued voting shares, may on behalf and for the benefit of the corporation, claim indemnification against whomever may be liable, for any damage or loss caused to the corporation’s equity, as a result of a breach of the Corporations Law, the Corporations Law Regulations, the corporation’s bylaws or the regulations provided by the board of directors.

Rights to Inspect Corporate Books and Records
     
Anyone may request certificates of the entries in the Registered Shares Register Book, Registered Shares Transfer Book, Registered Participation Certificates Register or Registered Participation Certificates Transfer Book, provided they are required for the defense of rights and clarification of circumstances of personal interest or in the interest of the shareholders or the securities market, for which the company may charge the cost of the respective service. Appeals may be filed with the CVM in the event the request is denied by the company.
 
In addition to that, at the request of shareholders representing at least five percent of the capital, a complete inspection of the books of the company may be ordered by a competent judicial court whenever acts contrary to the law or to the by-laws occur or there are grounds to suspect that serious irregularities have been committed by any of the corporate organs of the company.
 
The annual report, balance sheet and inventory, minutes, books and other items supporting them and the report of the external auditors of LAN and its subsidiaries shall be available to shareholders for examination at LAN’s principal office for 15 days prior to the date set for regular general shareholder meetings. LAN shall send each of the shareholders registered in the registry a copy of the annual report and financial statements of LAN no later than the date of the first notice convening a regular shareholders’ meeting.
 
Also included will be the opinion of the auditors and their respective notes. However, the SVS may authorize companies that have a large number of shareholders to limit the sending of such documents only to those shareholders who have a number of shares exceeding a certain number, and, in any case, to any shareholder that has requested such sending.
 
Shareholders who do not fall into this category but who request it must be sent a copy of LAN’s annual report.
 
In addition to these requirements, LAN regularly has provided, and currently intends to continue to provide, together with the notice of shareholders’ meeting, a proposal for the final annual dividend for shareholder approval.
 
The Chilean Corporation Law provides that, whenever shareholders representing 10% or more of the issued voting shares so request, a Chilean company’s annual report must include such shareholders’ comments and proposal in relation to the company’s affairs. Similarly, the Chilean Corporation Law provides that whenever the board of directors of a publicly held corporation convenes an ordinary meeting of the shareholders and solicits proxies for that meeting, or distributes information supporting its decisions or other similar material, it is obligated to include as an annex to its annual report any pertinent comments and proposals that may have been made by shareholders owning 10% or more of the company’s voting shares who have requested that such comments and proposals be included.
 
LAN publishes its complete annual audited general balance sheet and profit and loss statements, and a summary of the notes, in a widely circulated newspaper in Chile and uploads them to its webpage and files them with the SVS no less than 10 and not more than 20 days in advance of the date of the regular shareholders’ meeting at which the shareholders will vote on the approval of the financial statements. If there are modifications or amendments to the balance sheet and profit and loss statements by the date of the meeting, the changes will be published in the same manner described in the preceding sentence and must also be sent to the shareholders registered in the registry within 15 days following the date of the meeting.

Corporations may only acquire and own shares of their own issuance when the acquisition:
 
(a) is a product of the exercise by one or more shareholders of its or their withdrawal rights;
 
(b) is a product of the merger with another company which is a shareholder in the absorbing corporation; or
 
(c) allows the corporation to carry out a capital reduction, when the value of the shares in the market is lower than the redemption value that proportionally corresponds to each shareholder.
 
(d) allows the corporation to carry out an agreement of the extraordinary shareholders meeting for the acquisition of its own shares, with the conditions expressed in articles 27 to 27D of the Chilean Corporations Law.

Under penalty of annulment, the purchase of its own shares by a publicly-held company shall comply with the rules established by the CVM, which may require prior authorization in each case. Instruction CVM No. 10/80 was intended to provide for the conditions in which the company would be allowed to acquire its own shares (which would then be cancelled, held in treasury or disposed of). Such conditions include:  (i) the existence of a provision in the by-laws allowing the board of directors to take action in this regard; (ii) the funds for the acquisition shall derive from the profits or capital reserve accounts, except for (a) the legal reserve account; (b) the account of profits to be paid; (c) the revaluation account; and (d) the special account for mandatory dividends not distributed; (iii) the term for the acquisition programs; (iv) the percentage of the entire capital that may be acquired; and (v) the political and economic rights to be granted for the shares held in treasury. The use of profits of the current fiscal year is also regulated by the CVM.
 
A company may not receive its own shares by way of security, except as bonds posted by its senior management. While held in the company treasury, the shares acquired in accordance with (iv) above shall have no rights in or to dividends or voting rights and shall be permanently retired.
 
Shares owned by their issuing corporation pursuant to letters (a) and (b) above must be sold on a stock exchange within the term of one year from the date of the acquisition or, otherwise, the authorized capital of the corporation will be reduced by the sole operation of law.
 
The conveyance of such shares shall be exercised complying with the existing pre-emptive rights.
 
In the case of corporations which shares are actively traded on a stock exchange, these may acquire and own shares of their own issuance when the following copulative conditions are present:
 
(1) the acquisition (in programs of not more than five years) is approved in an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting with the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the issued and outstanding shares with right to vote;
 
(2) the acquisition is for an amount not exceeding the corporation’s retained profits; and
 
(3) if the corporation’s capital is divided into series of shares, the acquisition shall be made in proportion to the number of shares of each series actively traded on a stock exchange.
 
No corporation whose shares are actively traded on a stock exchange may own more than five percent of the outstanding subscribed and paid-up shares of its own issuance. These shares shall be sold within the term of 90 days from the date of the acquisition.
     
Class Actions and Shareholder Derivative Suits
     
According to TAM’s by-laws, all the controversies or disputes among or against any of the shareholders, the company, its managers and members of the board of directors or the fiscal board, shall be submitted to arbitration in Brazil.
 
Both the Chilean Corporation Law and LAN’s by-laws provide that all disputes arising among shareholders in their capacity as such or between LAN or LAN’s administrators and the shareholders may either be submitted to arbitration in Chile or to the courts of Chile at the election of the plaintiff initiating the action.
     
Related Party Transactions
     
The controlling shareholders shall be liable to TAM for any damage caused if they, directly or through third parties, as well as other companies in which they have an interest, enter into a contract incorporating unduly favorable or inequitable terms.
 
Title XVI of the Chilean Corporations Law and, in particular, article 147 thereof (which we refer to as “Article 147”), requires that LAN’s transactions with related parties (which include, among others, directors and executive officers) (i) have as their purpose the contribution to the company’s interests; (ii) be on price, terms and conditions similar to those customarily prevailing in the market at the time of their approval and (iii) in certain cases, comply with the following requirements:

In each of the preceding cases, any of the directors may first request that a specialized company evaluate the terms and conditions of the proposed contract and determine whether the terms and conditions of such contract are adequate in view of the conditions and practices of the market (to constitute an "arm's length" agreement).
 
Whenever the execution of contracts between the company and the controlling shareholders, directly or through third parties, as well as other companies in which the controlling shareholders have an interest, shall be discussed at an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders meeting, the preferred shareholders shall have the right to vote in relation to such matter.
 
(1) directors and executive officers having an interest or participating in the transaction must notify such participation or interest to the board of directors of LAN or the person designated by the board of directors of LAN and the persons that breach this obligation will be jointly and severally liable for the damages that the transaction causes to the company and its shareholders;
 
(2) the transaction must be approved by the majority of the directors of the board of directors of LAN, excluding the interested directors (who nonetheless must make public their opinion regarding the transaction if requested by the board of directors of LAN), or, if more than the absolute majority of the board of directors are interested in the transaction, by all the non-interested directors, or otherwise, by two-thirds of the shares with the right to vote of the Company;
 
(3) resolution of the board of directors of LAN approving the transaction must be reported to the Company’s shareholders at the next shareholders’ meeting; and
 
(4) in case the transaction is submitted for approval by the shareholders, the board of directors of LAN will designate at least one independent appraisal to inform the shareholders about the terms of the transaction, its effects and its potential impact to the Company.
 
Transactions for an amount considered not relevant according to the Chilean Corporations Law, transactions in the ordinary course of business of the company that comply with general and customary policies approved by the board of directors of the Company, and transactions with entities in which the Company has at least 95% of the property, shall not be required to comply with all the above mentioned proceedings.
 
Related parties that violate Article 147 are jointly and severally liable for losses resulting from such violations. Violation of Article 147 may result in administrative or criminal sanctions, and civil liability may be sought by the Company, shareholders or interested third parties that suffer losses as a result of such violations. These transactions are also examined by the Directors’ Committee.

For information concerning these transactions, see Note 35 to LAN’s audited consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this offer to exchange/prospectus.

Upon completion of the exchange offer and the mergers, the holders of TAM ADSs and TAM shares who validly tender their TAM ADSs and TAM shares through the US exchange agent into, and do not withdraw them from, the exchange offer will receive in exchange LAN ADSs. For a further discussion of the consideration to be delivered in connection with the exchange offer, see “The Exchange Offer—Delivery of LAN ADSs” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 131. Prior to delivery of such LAN ADSs, the LAN common shares represented by the LAN ADSs will be deposited with the principal Santiago office of Banco Itáu Chile, as the LAN custodian for the LAN ADS depositary in Chile (the “LAN custodian”) for the account of the LAN ADS depositary. Holders of LAN ADSs are not treated as shareholders of LAN and do not have the same rights as holders of LAN common shares. Rather, such holders have rights and obligations as holders of LAN ADSs, which are set forth in the LAN deposit agreement and in the form of LAN ADR attached thereto. The LAN ADS depositary will be the registered holder of the LAN common shares underlying the LAN ADSs, so holders of LAN ADSs must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder of LAN on their behalf. The obligations of the LAN ADS depositary and its agents are set forth in the LAN deposit agreement. The LAN deposit agreement and the LAN ADSs are governed by New York law.
 
The following is a summary comparison of:
 
 
·
the current rights and obligations of holders of TAM ADSs pursuant to the TAM deposit agreement (including the attached form of TAM ADR) and under applicable Brazilian law; and
 
 
·
the current rights and obligations of holders of LAN ADSs pursuant to the LAN deposit agreement (including the attached form of LAN ADR) and under applicable Chilean law.
 
The summary in this section is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and is subject to, the detailed provisions of the LAN deposit agreement (including the attached form of LAN ADR) and the TAM deposit agreement (including the attached form of TAM ADR). This is a summary only and therefore does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For more complete information, you should read in their entirety the LAN deposit agreement, which is attached as Annex J and incorporated by reference into this offer to exchange/prospectus, and the TAM deposit agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to the TAM Form F-1. You should also read the summary description of the TAM ADSs under the heading “Description of American Depositary Receipts” in the TAM F-1 and the summary description of the LAN ADS under the “Description of American Depositary Shares” section in the LAN Form F-3, as they contain additional information about the rights of holders of TAM ADSs and LAN ADSs, respectively, that may be of interest to you. To learn where you may obtain these documents, see the “Where You Can Find More Information” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 13.
 
The summaries of the LAN deposit agreement and the TAM deposit agreement below assume that ADRs are held directly. If ADRs are held through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, the investor must rely on the procedures of such nominee to assert the rights of an ADR holder described in this section. An investor should consult with its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to find out what those procedures are.

General
 
The TAM depositary is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. pursuant to the TAM deposit agreement.
 
Each TAM ADS represents an ownership interest in one TAM preferred share and any securities, cash or property received by the TAM depositary or the custodian on or in substitution of the TAM ADSs and not distributed directly to the investor, which we refer to collectively as “TAM deposited securities.”
 
Holders of TAM ADSs are not treated as shareholders of TAM and do not have the same rights as holders of TAM preferred shares. Rather, such holders have rights as holders of TAM ADSs, which are set forth in the TAM deposit agreement. The custodian, as the TAM depositary’s agent, will actually be the registered owner of the TAM preferred shares underlying the TAM ADSs, so holders of TAM ADSs must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder of TAM on their behalf.
 
An investor may hold the TAM ADSs either directly or indirectly through its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. If an investor holds TAM ADSs directly, it is a TAM ADR holder and the TAM ADSs will be registered in its name on the books of the TAM depositary. Unless otherwise requested by the investor, all TAM ADSs will be issued on the books of the TAM depositary in book-entry form.
 
The LAN ADS depositary is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. pursuant to the LAN deposit agreement.
 
Each LAN ADS represents one LAN common shares (or the right to receive one LAN common share) deposited with the LAN custodian and any securities, cash or property received by the LAN ADS depositary or the LAN custodian in respect of such LAN ADS and at such time held under the LAN deposit agreement, which we refer to collectively as “LAN deposited securities.”
 
Holders of LAN ADSs are not treated as shareholders of LAN and do not have the same rights as holders of LAN common shares. Rather, such holders have rights as holders of LAN ADSs, which are set forth in the LAN deposit agreement. The LAN ADS depositary will actually be the holder of the LAN common shares underlying the registered LAN ADSs, so holders of LAN ADSs must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder of LAN on their behalf.
 
An investor may hold the LAN ADSs either directly or indirectly through its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. If an investor holds LAN ADSs directly, it is a LAN ADR holder and the LAN ADSs will be registered in its name on the books of the LAN ADS depositary.
     
Deposit, Transfer and Withdrawal
     
Deposit. Upon deposit of TAM preferred shares (or evidence of rights to receive such shares), receipt of related delivery documentation and compliance with the other provisions of the TAM deposit agreement, including the payment of the fees and charges of the TAM depositary and any taxes or other fees or charges owing, the TAM depositary will issue a TAM ADR in the name or upon the order of the person entitled thereto evidencing the number of TAM ADSs to which such person is entitled. The custodian will hold all deposited TAM preferred shares for the account and to the order of the TAM depositary.
 
At an investor’s request, risk and expense, the TAM depositary may accept deposits for forwarding to the custodian and may deliver TAM ADRs at a place other than the TAM depositary’s office.
 
Deposit. Upon deposit of LAN common shares (or evidence of rights to receive such shares), receipt of related delivery documentation and compliance with the other provisions of the LAN deposit agreement, including payment of any fees and expenses of the LAN ADS depositary and any applicable taxes or other charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer fees or charges, and subject to the investor’s delivery to the LAN ADS depositary or the LAN custodian of any certificates required under Chilean law or the regulations of the Central Bank of Chile, the LAN ADS depositary will register the appropriate number of LAN ADSs in the names requested by the investor and will deliver the LAN ADRs at its office to the persons requested by the investor. LAN deposited securities will be held by the LAN custodian for the account and to the order of the LAN ADS depositary or at such place or places and in such manner as the LAN ADS depositary shall determine.

Title to TAM ADRs and to the TAM deposited securities represented by TAM ADSs, when endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer (as applicable), is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of New York. However, the TAM depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person in whose name the TAM ADRs are registered on the ADR register as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the TAM depositary nor TAM will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the TAM deposit agreement to the holder of a TAM ADR, unless such holder is the registered holder thereof.
 
Withdrawal. When a TAM ADR holder returns TAM ADRs to the TAM depositary’s office or when a holder provides proper instructions and documentation in the case of TAM ADRs held in book-entry form, such holder is entitled to delivery of the TAM deposited securities represented by such TAM ADRs at that time at the custodian’s office by such other means as the TAM depositary deems practicable, upon payment of certain applicable fees, charges and taxes. At the holder’s request, risk and expense, the TAM depositary may deliver TAM deposited securities to such other place as the investor may request.
 
The TAM depositary may restrict the withdrawal of TAM deposited securities only in connection with:

Withdrawal. When a LAN ADR holder returns LAN ADRs to the LAN ADS depositary’s office or when a holder provides proper instructions and documentation in the case of LAN ADRs held in book-entry form, the LAN ADS depositary will deliver the shares and any other LAN deposited securities underlying the LAN ADRs to the holder or a person designated by it at the office of the LAN custodian, upon payment of any applicable fees, expenses, taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees and delivery of any certifications required under the laws of Chile and regulations of the Central Bank of Chile and subject to the terms and conditions of the LAN deposit agreement. At the holder’s request, risk and expense, the LAN ADS depositary will deliver the LAN deposited securities to such other place as the investor may request.
 
Simultaneously with the delivery of LAN common shares, the LAN custodian, pursuant to the foreign investment contract, dated as of November 1, 1997, among LAN, the Central Bank of Chile and the LAN ADS depositary, as amended, will issue or cause to be issued to the holder a certificate which states that the LAN common shares have been transferred to such holder by the LAN ADS depositary and that the LAN ADS depositary waives in favor of the holder the right of access to the formal exchange market to the withdrawn LAN common shares.

TAM ADR holders will receive such distributions in proportion to the number of underlying securities that their respective TAM ADRs represent.
 
Distribution of Rights to Acquire Additional ADRs. The TAM depositary will distribute warrants or other instruments representing rights to acquire additional ADRs in respect of any rights to subscribe for additional TAM preferred shares or other rights of any nature available to the TAM depositary as a result of a distribution on TAM deposited securities if TAM provides satisfactory evidence that the TAM depositary may lawfully distribute such rights. However, if TAM does not furnish such evidence, the TAM depositary may:
 
·     sell such rights, if practicable, and distribute the net proceeds in the same way it does with cash; or
 
·     if it is not practicable to sell such rights, do nothing and allow such rights to lapse, in which case the holders will receive nothing.

Distribution of Rights to Acquire Additional ADRs. If LAN offers holders of LAN’s shares any rights to subscribe for additional shares or any other rights, the LAN depositary, after consultation with LAN, may make those rights available to LAN ADR holders, in which case the LAN depositary will exercise the rights and purchase the shares on behalf of such holders. The LAN depositary will then deposit the shares and deliver LAN ADSs to the LAN ADR holders. The LAN depositary will only exercise such rights if the holders pay it the exercise price and any other applicable charges. However, if the LAN depositary decides it is not legal and practical to make the rights available, the LAN depositary may:
 
·     sell such rights, if practicable, and distribute the net proceeds in the same way it does with cash; or
 
·     if it is not practicable to sell such rights, do nothing and allow such rights to lapse, in which case the holders will receive nothing.

Cash. The TAM depositary will distribute any US dollars available to it resulting from a cash dividend or other cash distribution or the net proceeds of sales of any other distribution or portion thereof (to the extent applicable), on an averaged or other practicable basis, subject to (i) appropriate adjustments for taxes withheld, (ii) such distribution being impermissible or impracticable with respect to certain holders, and (iii) deduction of the TAM depositary’s fees and expenses in converting any foreign currency into US dollars, transferring foreign currency or US dollars to the United States, obtaining any approval or license required for such conversion or transfer and making any sale by public or private means in any commercially reasonable manner. Following such conversion, the TAM depositary will set the per ADS dividend rate and announce it to the NYSE, thereby setting both the record date and payment date in respect thereof.
 
If conversion into US dollars is not possible or if any approval from the Brazilian government is needed and cannot be obtained, the TAM depositary may distribute the foreign currency to those TAM ADR holders to whom it is possible to do so and will hold the foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of the TAM ADR holders who have not been paid. The TAM depositary will not invest the foreign currency on behalf of such holders and will not be liable for any interest. Before making any distribution, the TAM depositary will deduct any withholding taxes that must be paid under Brazilian law.
 
Shares. In the case of a distribution in shares, the TAM depositary will issue additional TAM ADRs to evidence the number of TAM ADSs representing such shares. The TAM depositary will only distribute whole TAM ADSs. The TAM depositary will sell shares which would require it to distribute fractions of TAM ADSs and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as cash to the TAM ADR holders entitled thereto.
 
Other Distributions. In the case of a distribution of securities or property other than those described above, the TAM depositary may either (i) distribute such securities or property in any manner it deems equitable and practicable or (ii) to the extent the TAM depositary deems distribution of such securities or property not to be equitable and practicable, sell such securities or property and distribute any net proceeds in the same way it distributes cash.
 
Cash. The LAN depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution LAN pays on the LAN deposited securities into US dollars if it can do so on a reasonable basis, and if it can transfer the US dollars into the United States and will distribute to the LAN ADR holders the amount received (subject to appropriate adjustments for taxes withheld and net of any applicable fees and expenses) as soon as practicable in proportion to the number of LAN ADSs representing the LAN deposited securities held by such holders.
 
If conversion into US dollars is not possible or if any government approval is needed and cannot be obtained, the LAN depositary may distribute the foreign currency only to those LAN ADR holders to whom it is possible to do so. It will hold the foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of the LAN ADR holders who have not been paid. It will not invest the foreign currency and it will not be liable for any interest. Before making a distribution, the LAN depositary will deduct any withholding taxes that must be paid under applicable law. The LAN depositary will distribute only whole US dollars and cents and will round fractional cents to the nearest whole cent. If the exchange rates fluctuate during a time when the LAN depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, the investor may lose some or all of the value of the distribution.
 
Shares. The LAN depositary may distribute additional LAN ADSs representing any LAN common shares LAN distributes as a dividend or free distribution. The LAN depositary will only distribute whole LAN ADSs. The LAN depositary will sell shares which would require it to distribute fractions of LAN ADSs and distribute the net proceeds in the same way it does with cash to the LAN ADR holders entitled thereto. If the LAN depositary does not distribute additional LAN ADSs, the outstanding LAN ADSs will also represent the new shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the LAN depositary determines that a distribution in LAN common shares may not legally be made to some or all LAN ADR holders, the LAN depositary may sell such shares and will remit the net proceeds thereof to the LAN ADR holders entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution in cash.
 
Other Distributions. If LAN approves, the LAN depositary will distribute to the LAN ADR holders anything else LAN distributes on LAN deposited securities by any means it deems equitable and practicable.

If the TAM depositary determines that any distribution described above is not practicable with respect to any specific TAM ADR holder, the TAM depositary may choose any practicable method of distribution for such TAM ADR holder, including the distribution of foreign currency, securities or property, or it may retain such items, without paying interest on or investing them, on behalf of the TAM ADR holder as TAM deposited securities, in which case the TAM ADSs will also represent the retained items. Fractional cents will be withheld without liability for interest thereon and dealt with by the TAM depositary in accordance with its then current practices. The TAM depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any TAM ADR holders.
 
If the TAM depositary determines that any distribution in property (including TAM preferred shares and rights to subscribe therefor) other than cash on TAM deposited securities is subject to any tax that the TAM depositary or the custodian is obligated to withhold, the TAM depositary may, by public or private sale, dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the TAM depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, and the TAM depositary will distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the TAM ADR holders entitled thereto.
 
If the LAN depositary cannot make the distribution proportionately among the LAN ADR holders or the distribution is not otherwise feasible or LAN does not approve the proportional distribution, the LAN depositary has a choice. After consulting with LAN, it may decide to sell what LAN distributed and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as it does with cash, or, it may decide to hold what LAN distributed, in which case LAN ADSs will also represent the newly distributed property. However, the LAN depositary is not required to distribute any securities (other than LAN ADSs) to such holders unless it receives satisfactory evidence from LAN that it is legal to make that distribution.
 
If the LAN depositary determines that any distribution in property is subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the LAN depositary is obligated to withhold, the LAN depositary may, after consultation with LAN, by public or private sale, dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the LAN depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay any such taxes or charges, and the LAN depositary will distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the LAN ADR holders entitled thereto in proportion to the number of LAN ADSs held by them respectively.
     
Record Dates
     
The TAM depositary may, after consultation with TAM if practicable, fix a record date (which, to the extent applicable, shall be as near as practicable to any corresponding date set by TAM) for the determination of the holders who will be entitled (or obligated, as the case may be):
 
·     to receive a dividend, distribution or rights;
·     to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at a meeting of holders of TAM common shares or other TAM deposited securities;
·     to pay the fee assessed by the TAM depositary for administration of the ADR program and for any expenses provided for in the form of TAM ADR; or
·     to receive any notice or to act in respect of other matters,
 
all subject to the provisions of the deposit agreement.
 
The LAN depositary will fix a record date (which shall be the same date as, or as near as practicable to any corresponding record date set by LAN) for the determination of the holders of LAN ADRs who will be entitled (or obligated, as the case may be):
 
·     to receive a dividend, distribution or rights;
·     to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at a meeting of holders of TAM common shares or other TAM deposited securities;
·     to pay the fee assessed by the TAM depositary for administration of the ADR program and for any expenses provided for in the form of TAM ADR; or
·     to receive any notice or to act in respect of other matters.

TAM ADR holders will be charged a fee of $5.00 per 100 TAM ADSs (or any portion thereof) issued (including issuances resulting from distributions of shares, rights and other property), delivered, reduced, cancelled or surrendered in exchange for TAM deposited securities. The TAM depositary may sell (by public or private sale) sufficient securities and property received in respect of share distributions, rights and other distributions prior to such deposit to pay such charge.
 
The following additional charges shall be incurred by TAM ADR holders, by any party depositing or withdrawing TAM shares or by any party surrendering TAM ADRs, to whom TAM ADRs are issued (including, without limitation, pursuant to any dividend or stock split or an exchange of stock), whichever is applicable and to the extent not prohibited by the rules of the NYSE:
 
·     $.02 (or less) per TAM ADS (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution;
·     $1.50 per TAM ADR or ADRs for transfers of certificated or direct registration ADRs;
·     $.02 per TAM ADS (or portion thereof) per year for the services performed by the TAM depositary in administering the ADRs;
·     any other charge payable by any of the TAM depositary, its agents or their respective agents in connection with the servicing of TAM shares and other TAM deposited securities;
·     a fee for the distribution of securities (or the sale of securities in connection with a distribution), such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of TAM ADSs which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (treating all such securities as if they were TAM preferred shares) but which securities or the net cash proceeds from the sale thereof are instead distributed by the TAM depositary to those TAM ADR holders entitled thereto;
·     transfer or registration fees and delivery charges incurred at the investor’s request;
·     expenses of the TAM depositary in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into US dollars;
·     cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery charges incurred at the investor’s request;

The following additional charges shall be incurred by LAN ADR holders, by any party depositing or withdrawing LAN common shares or by any party surrendering LAN ADRs, to whom LAN ADRs are issued (including, without limitation, pursuant to any dividend, stock split or an exchange of stock) or by LAN ADR holders, whichever is applicable and to the extent permitted by the rules of the NYSE:
 
·     $.05 (or less) per LAN ADS (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution;
·     $1.50 per LAN ADR or ADRs for transfers of certificated or direct registration ADRs
·     a fee for the distribution of securities, such fee being an amount equal to the fee for execution and delivery of LAN ADSs which would be payable if securities distributed to the investor had been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (treating all such securities as if they were LAN common shares but which securities are instead distributed by the LAN depositary to those LAN ADR holders entitled thereto) but which securities are distributed by the LAN depositary to LAN ADR holders;
·     $.05 (or less) per ADS per calendar year (or portion thereof) for services performed by the LAN depositary in administering the LAN ADRs.
·     registration fees;
·     expenses of the LAN depositary in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into US dollars;
·     cable, telex and facsimile transmission expenses (as are expressly provided for in the LAN deposit agreement);
·     taxes and any governmental charges; and
·     any other charges payable by the LAN depositary, its agents or any of their respective agents for servicing the LAN deposited securities (which charge shall be assessed against LAN ADR holders as of the date set by the LAN depositary and shall be collected at the sole discretion of the LAN depositary by billing LAN ADR holders for such charge or deducting such charge from future distributions).

·     such fees and expenses as are incurred by the TAM depositary in servicing the TAM preferred shares or TAM deposited securities, delivering TAM deposited securities or otherwise in connection with the depositary’s or its custodian’s compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation.
 
LAN has agreed to pay the fees, reasonable expenses and out-of-pocket charges of the LAN depositary and those of any registrar only in accordance with the deposit agreement entered into between LAN and the LAN depositary from time to time.
     
TAM will pay all other charges and expenses of the TAM depositary and any agent of the depositary (except the custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between TAM and the TAM depositary. The fees described above may be amended from time to time by agreement of TAM and the TAM depositary.
   
     
Payment of Taxes
     
TAM ADR holders must pay any tax or other governmental charge payable by the custodian or the TAM depositary on any TAM ADS, TAM ADR, deposited security or distribution. If a TAM ADR holder owes any tax or other governmental charge, the TAM depositary may (i) deduct the amount thereof from any cash distributions or (ii) sell TAM deposited securities and deduct the amount owing from the net proceeds of such sale. In either case, the TAM ADR holder remains liable for any shortfall. Additionally, if any tax or governmental charge is unpaid, the TAM depositary may also refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of TAM deposited securities or withdrawal of TAM deposited securities (except under limited circumstances mandated by securities regulations). If any tax or governmental charge is required to be withheld on any non-cash distribution, the TAM depositary may sell the distributed property or securities to pay such taxes and distribute any remaining net proceeds to the TAM ADR holders entitled thereto.
 
By holding any TAM ADR or an interest therein, a holder agrees to indemnify TAM, the TAM depositary, the custodian and any of their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained in respect of, or arising out of, its TAM ADSs.
  
LAN ADR holders must pay any tax or other governmental charge payable with respect to any LAN ADRs or any LAN deposited securities represented thereby. If a LAN ADR holder owes any tax or other governmental charge, the LAN depositary may (i) deduct the amount of any taxes owed from any dividends, distributions or proceeds from any sale or (ii) sell LAN deposited securities to pay any taxes or charges owed. In either case, the LAN ADR holder remains liable for any shortfall. Additionally, if any tax or governmental charge is unpaid, the LAN depositary may also refuse to effect any transfer of such LAN ADR or any withdrawal of LAN deposited securities represented by LAN ADSs evidenced by such LAN ADR until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends or other distributions. If the LAN depositary sells LAN deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce the number of LAN ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to the LAN ADR holders any proceeds, or send to such holders any property remaining after it has paid the taxes.
 
For purposes of valuation under Chilean law, the LAN deposit agreement provides that the acquisition value of the LAN common shares delivered to LAN ADR holders upon surrender of LAN ADRs shall be the highest reported sales price of such shares on the SSE for the day on which the transfer of such shares is recorded under such holders’ names. In the event that no such sales price is reported by the SSE during that day, the value will be deemed to be the highest trade price on the day during which the last trade took place. However, if 30 or more days have lapsed since the last trade, such value shall be adjusted in accordance with the variation of the Chilean consumer price index for the corresponding term.

·     amend the form of TAM ADR;
·     distribute additional or amended TAM ADRs;
·     distribute cash, securities or other property it has received in connection with such actions;
·     sell any securities or property received and distribute the proceeds as cash; or
·     do none of the above.
 
If the TAM depositary does not choose any of the above options, any of the cash, securities or other property it receives will constitute part of the TAM deposited securities and each TAM ADS will then represent a proportionate interest in such property.
 
If LAN takes certain actions that affect the LAN deposited securities, including (i) any change in par value, split-up, consolidation, cancellation or other reclassification of LAN deposited securities or (ii) any reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy or sale of all or substantially all the assets of LAN, then:

Voting
     
After receiving voting materials from TAM, the TAM depositary will notify the TAM ADR holders of any shareholder meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies. This notice will state such information as it is contained in the voting materials and describe how a TAM ADR holder may instruct the TAM depositary to exercise the voting rights for the shares which underlie the TAM ADSs and will include instructions for giving a discretionary proxy to a person designated by TAM. For instructions to be valid, the TAM depositary must receive them in the manner and on or before the date specified in the notice. The TAM depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to the provisions governing the underlying shares and TAM deposited securities, to vote or to have its agents vote the shares or other TAM deposited securities as the TAM ADR holder instructs. The TAM depositary will only vote or attempt to vote as instructed.
 
The TAM depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion, and neither the TAM depositary nor its agents will be responsible for any failure to carry out any voting instructions, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any vote.
  
After receiving voting material from LAN, the LAN depositary will, if requested by LAN in writing, notify the LAN ADR holders of any shareholders’ meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies. This notice will contain such information as is contained in the voting materials, a statement that the LAN ADR holders as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of Chilean law or regulations, LAN’s articles of association and the provisions governing LAN deposited securities, to instruct the LAN depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, and include instructions for giving a discretionary proxy to a person designated by LAN. For instructions to be valid, the LAN depositary must receive them on or before the date specified. The LAN depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to Chilean law and the provisions of LAN’s by-laws, to vote or to have its agents vote the shares or other LAN deposited securities as the LAN ADR holder instructs on or before the date specified in the notice.

If the LAN depositary does not receive voting instructions from any LAN ADR holder by the specified date and if requested by LAN, it will consider such holder to have instructed it to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the LAN board of directors to vote the number of LAN deposited securities represented by the LAN ADSs. The depositary will give a discretionary proxy in those circumstances to vote on all questions to be voted upon unless LAN notifies the LAN depositary that:
 
·     LAN does not wish to receive a discretionary proxy;
 
·   LAN thinks there is substantial shareholder opposition to the particular question; or
 
·    LAN thinks the particular matter would have a material and adverse impact on the rights of LAN’s shareholders.

The TAM depositary and its agents may fully respond to any and all demands or requests for information maintained by or on its behalf in connection with the TAM deposit agreement, any registered holder(s) of TAM ADRs, any TAM ADSs or otherwise to the extent such information is requested or required by or pursuant to any lawful authority, including, without limitation, laws, rules, regulations, administrative or judicial process, banking, securities or other regulators.

Amendment & Termination
     
Amendment. The TAM ADRs and the TAM deposit agreement may be amended by TAM and the TAM depositary without the consent of any TAM ADR holder for any reason. If an amendment imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses) or prejudices any substantial existing right of TAM ADR holders, such holders must be given 30 days’ notice of any such amendment. If a TAM ADR holder continues to hold TAM ADRs after being so notified, such TAM ADR holder is deemed to agree to such amendment.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body or regulatory body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the TAM deposit agreement or the form of TAM ADR, TAM or the TAM depositary may amend or supplement the TAM deposit agreement or the TAM ADR at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or supplement may take effect before a notice is given to TAM ADR holders or within any other period of time as required for compliance. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the registered holder of any TAM ADR to surrender such TAM ADR and receive the TAM deposited securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.
 
Termination. The TAM depositary may terminate the TAM deposit agreement by giving the TAM ADR holders at least 30 days’ prior notice, and it must do so at TAM’s request. The TAM deposit agreement will be terminated on the removal of the TAM depositary for any reason.
 
After termination, the TAM depositary’s only responsibility will be:
 
·     to deliver TAM deposited securities to TAM ADR holders who surrender their TAM ADRs; and
·     to hold or sell distributions received on TAM deposited securities.
 
As soon as practicable after the expiration of six months from the termination date, the TAM depositary will sell the TAM deposited securities which remain and hold the net proceeds of such sales, without liability for interest, in trust for the TAM ADR holders who have not yet surrendered their TAM ADRs. After making such sale, the TAM depositary shall have no obligations except to account for such proceeds and other cash. The TAM depositary will not be required to invest such proceeds or pay interest on them.
  
Amendment. LAN may agree with the LAN depositary to amend the LAN deposit agreement and the LAN ADRs without the consent of LAN ADR holders for any reason. If an amendment adds or increases fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges or expenses of the LAN depositary for registration fees, facsimile costs, delivery charges or similar items) or prejudices any substantial existing right of LAN ADR holders, such holders must be given 30 days’ notice of any such amendment. If a LAN ADR holder continues to hold LAN ADRs after being so notified, such LAN ADR holder is deemed to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the LAN ADRs and the LAN deposit agreement as amended.
 
Termination. The LAN depositary will terminate the LAN deposit agreement upon LAN’s request. The LAN depositary may also terminate the LAN deposit agreement if it has told LAN that it would like to resign and LAN has not appointed a new depositary bank within 45 days or if LAN has removed the depositary and a successor depositary has not began operating as a depositary on the 60th day after the company’s notice of removal was provided to the depositary. In either case, the LAN depositary must notify LAN ADR holders at least 30 days before termination.
 
After termination, the LAN depositary and its agents will do the following under the LAN deposit agreement, but nothing else:

·     deliver LAN deposited securities being withdrawn.
 
As soon as practicable after the expiration of six months from the termination date, the LAN depositary may sell any remaining LAN deposited securities by public or private sale. After that, the LAN depositary will hold the money it received on the sale, as well as any other cash it is holding under the LAN deposit agreement for the pro rata benefit of the LAN ADR holders that have not surrendered their ADRs. It will not invest the money and has no liability for interest. The LAN depositary’s only obligation will be to account for the money and other cash.

Compliance with Other Law
     
To the extent that the provisions of or governing any TAM deposited securities may require disclosure of or impose limits on beneficial or other ownership of TAM deposited securities, other shares and other securities and may provide for blocking transfer, voting or other rights to enforce such disclosure or limits, the investor must comply with all such disclosure requirements and ownership limitations and with any reasonable instructions TAM may provide in respect thereof. TAM has reserved the right to request the investor to deliver its TAM ADSs for cancellation and withdrawal of the TAM deposited securities so as to permit TAM to deal with the investor directly as a holder of TAM deposited securities and, by holding a TAM ADS or an interest therein, the investor will be agreeing to comply with such instructions.
  
Under Article 12 of the (Chilean) Securities Market Law and Regulation n. 269 of the SVS, certain information regarding transactions in shares of publicly held corporations must be reported to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges on which the shares are listed. As the LAN ADRs are deemed to represent the shares underlying the LAN ADSs, transactions in LAN ADRs will be subject to those reporting requirements. Among other matters, beneficial holders of LAN ADSs will be required to report to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges within one business day:
 
·     any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of LAN ADRs; and
 
·     any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of any contract or security whose price or results depend on or are conditioned in whole or in part on the price of LAN’s shares.
 
In addition, majority shareholders must state in their report whether their purpose is to acquire control of LAN or if they are making a financial investment.
 
Any beneficial owner of LAN ADSs intending to acquire control of LAN shall, no later than ten business days prior to the date of the intended acquisition of control:
 
·     send a written notice of such intention to LAN, to the SVS and to the stock exchanges in Chile, and
 
·     publish a notice of such intention in two newspapers in Chile and on LAN’s website.
 
To the extent that provisions of or governing any LAN deposited securities or applicable law may require disclosure of beneficial or other ownership of LAN deposited securities or other securities to LAN or limit ownership of those securities and may provide for blocking transfer and voting or other rights to enforce those disclosure requirements or ownership limitations, the LAN depositary must use its reasonable efforts to comply with LAN’s written instructions as to LAN ADRs in respect of any such enforcement or limitation or blocking of rights, and holders and beneficial holders of LAN ADRs must comply with all such disclosure requirements and ownership limitations and cooperate with the LAN depositary’s compliance with such instructions and are deemed by holding of LAN ADRs or any interest in them to consent to any such limitation or blocking of rights.

Upon completion of the exchange offer and the mergers, the holders of TAM shares who are QIBs and who validly tender their TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa will receive in exchange LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDRs. For a further discussion of the consideration to be delivered in connection with the exchange offer, see “The Exchange Offer” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 136. Prior to delivery of such LAN BDSs, the LAN common shares represented by the LAN BDRs will be deposited with the principal São Paulo office of Itaú Chile, S.A., as the custodian (which we refer to as the “LAN BDS custodian”) for the account of the LAN BDS depositary, Itaú. Holders of LAN BDRs are not treated as shareholders of LAN and do not have the same rights as holders of LAN common shares. Rather, such holders have rights and obligations as holders of LAN BDSs, which are set forth in the LAN BDS deposit agreement between LAN and in the form of LAN BDR attached thereto. The LAN BDS depositary will be the registered holder of the LAN common shares underlying the LAN BDSs, so holders of LAN BDSs must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder of LAN on their behalf. The obligations of the LAN BDS depositary and its agents are set forth in the LAN BDS deposit agreement. The LAN BDS deposit agreement and the LAN BDSs are governed by Brazilian law.
 
The following is a summary comparison of:
 
 
·
the current rights and obligations of holders of TAM ADSs pursuant to the TAM deposit agreement (including the attached form of TAM ADR) and under applicable Brazilian law; and
 
 
·
the current rights and obligations of holders of LAN BDSs pursuant to the LAN BDS deposit agreement (including the attached form of LAN BDR) and under applicable Brazilian law.
 
The summary in this section is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and is subject to, the detailed provisions of the LAN BDS deposit agreement (including the attached form of LAN BDR) and the TAM deposit agreement (including the attached form of TAM ADR). This is a summary only and therefore does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For more complete information, you should read in their entirety the LAN BDS deposit agreement, which is attached as Annex K and incorporated by reference into this offer to exchange/prospectus, and the TAM deposit agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to the TAM F-1. You should also read the summary description of the TAM ADSs under the heading “Description of American Depositary Receipts” in the TAM F-1. To learn where you may obtain these documents, see the “Where You Can Find More Information” section of this offer to exchange/prospectus beginning on page 13.
 
The summaries of the LAN BDS deposit agreement and the TAM deposit agreement below assume that LAN BDRs are held directly. If LAN BDRs are held through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, the investor must rely on the procedures of such nominee to assert the rights of a LAN BDR holder described in this section. An investor should consult with its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to find out what those procedures are.

Provisions Applicable to
Holders of TAM ADSs
 
Provisions Applicable to
Holders of LAN BDSs
     
General
     
The TAM depositary is JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. pursuant to the TAM deposit agreement.
 
Each TAM ADS represents an ownership interest in one TAM preferred share and any TAM deposited securities.
 
Holders of TAM ADSs are not treated as shareholders of TAM and do not have the same rights as holders of TAM preferred shares. Rather, such holders have rights as holders of TAM ADSs, which are set forth in the TAM deposit agreement. The custodian, as the TAM depositary’s agent, will actually be the registered owner of the TAM preferred shares underlying the TAM ADSs, so holders of TAM ADSs must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder of TAM on their behalf.
 
An investor may hold the TAM ADSs either directly or indirectly through its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. If an investor holds TAM ADSs directly, it is a TAM ADR holder and the TAM ADSs will be registered in its name on the books of the TAM depositary. Unless otherwise requested by the investor, all TAM ADSs will be issued on the books of the TAM depositary in book-entry form.
 
The LAN depositary is Itaú pursuant to the LAN deposit agreement.
 
Each LAN BDR represents an ownership interest in one LAN registered share.
 
Holders of LAN BDRs are not treated as shareholders of LAN and do not have the same rights as holders of LAN shares. Rather, such holders have rights as holders of LAN BDRs, which are set forth in the LAN deposit agreement. The custodian, as the LAN depositary’s agent, will be the registered owner of the LAN shares underlying the LAN BDRs. Accordingly, holders of LAN BDRs must rely on the custodian to exercise the rights of a shareholder of LAN on their behalf.
     
Deposit, Transfer and Withdrawal
     
Deposit. Upon deposit of TAM preferred shares (or evidence of rights to receive such shares), receipt of related delivery documentation and compliance with the other provisions of the TAM deposit agreement, including the payment of the fees and charges of the TAM depositary and any taxes or other fees or charges owing, the TAM depositary will issue a TAM ADR in the name or upon the order of the person entitled thereto evidencing the number of TAM ADSs to which such person is entitled. The custodian will hold all deposited TAM preferred shares for the account and to the order of the TAM depositary.
 
At an investor’s request, risk and expense, the TAM depositary may accept deposits for forwarding to the custodian and may deliver TAM ADRs at a place other than the TAM depositary’s office.
 
Transfer. Title to TAM ADRs and to the TAM deposited securities represented by TAM ADSs, when endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer (as applicable), is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of New York. However, the TAM depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person in whose name the TAM ADRs are registered on the ADR register as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the TAM depositary nor TAM will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the TAM deposit agreement to the holder of a TAM ADR, unless such holder is the registered holder thereof.
  
Deposit. The LAN depositary will issue LAN BDRs upon the compliance with the provisions set forth in the LAN deposit agreement, including the deposit of LAN shares and payment of the issuance fee. The LAN depositary will credit the LAN BDRs in the BDRs Registry Book, in the name of the investor, or in the name of Bovespa for those investors who hold their BDRs under custody. Afterward, the LAN depositary will credit the delivery of the LAN BDRs to their respective holders.
 
Transfer. Non-Brazilian resident are permitted to sell their BDRs on Bovespa. In order to do so, the non-Brazilian resident must receive the sale proceeds from the purchaser and may keep them in Brazil to re-invest them in other assets or send them abroad, by means of a currency exchange contract completed in the Registro Declaratório Eletrônico - RDE, as specified under Resolution No. 2,689/00.
 
Withdrawal. Non-Brazilian residents may request the cancellation of their LAN BDR and sell those Deposit Receipts (DRs) used as the BDRs financial guarantee abroad, or retain the DR. In order to do so, the non-Brazilian resident must (i) instruct his legal representative to cancel the BDRs, and (ii) obtain, from the foreign broker the necessary information for receiving the DRs.

 
-242-

 

Withdrawal. When a TAM ADR holder returns TAM ADRs to the TAM depositary’s office or when a holder provides proper instructions and documentation in the case of TAM ADRs held in book-entry form, such holder is entitled to delivery of the TAM deposited securities represented by such TAM ADRs at that time at the custodian’s office by such other means as the TAM depositary deems practicable, upon payment of certain applicable fees, charges and taxes. At the holder’s request, risk and expense, the TAM depositary may deliver TAM deposited securities to such other place as the investor may request.
 
The TAM depositary may restrict the withdrawal of TAM deposited securities only in connection with:
 
·     temporary delays caused by closing TAM’s transfer books or those of the TAM depositary, the deposit of TAM shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting or the payment of dividends;
·     the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges; or
·    compliance with any US or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the TAM ADRs or to the withdrawal of TAM deposited securities.
 
The LAN depositary will transfer the DRs from the financial guarantee account to the foreign broker upon the compliance with the provisions set forth in the LAN deposit agreement, such as, among other things, receiving the BDR credit, into the BDR account, the BDRs cancelling instruction, and its respective fees.
 
The LAN depositary and the custodian may demand from the owner of the BDRs to be cancelled all documents and instruments that are necessary for the cancellation of the BDRs, transfer of the DRs and any other information required by applicable regulations.
     
Share Dividends and Other Distributions
     
The TAM depositary has agreed to pay TAM ADR holders the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on TAM preferred shares or other TAM deposited securities, after converting any cash received into US dollars and, in all cases, making any necessary deductions provided for in the TAM deposit agreement, including any applicable fees and expenses. TAM ADR holders will receive such distributions in proportion to the number of underlying securities that their respective TAM ADRs represent.
 
Distribution of Rights to Acquire Additional ADRs. The TAM depositary will distribute warrants or other instruments representing rights to acquire additional ADRs in respect of any rights to subscribe for additional TAM preferred shares or other rights of any nature available to the TAM depositary as a result of a distribution on TAM deposited securities if TAM provides satisfactory evidence that the TAM depositary may lawfully distribute such rights. However, if TAM does not furnish such evidence, the TAM depositary may:
  
LAN BDR holders have the right to receive profit shares and other money distributions, paid abroad by LAN.
 
LAN must simultaneously disclose any information regarding profit share payments and other money distributions to the market, both in Brazil and abroad.
 
The LAN depositary, when receiving the expected profit share payments or other money distributions from LAN, will, on the same day, contract currency exchange to transfer such profit share payments or other money distributions into Brazil, in order to effect payment to the respective BDR holders.
 
For LAN BDR holders who maintain their LAN BDRs under custody of Bovespa, the profit share and other money distributions will be credited to Bovespa, the fiduciary owner of the LAN BDRs. Thus, Bovespa, will distribute the profit share and other money distributions to the custody agents and other brokers, who will be responsible for crediting such payments to the LAN BDR holders enrolled in their registries, in accordance with the credit option made with such institutions. For BDR holders who maintain their receipts in the registry book, the credit will be made according to the credit option stated in their registry with the LAN depositary.

 
-243-

 

·     sell such rights, if practicable, and distribute the net proceeds in the same way it does with cash; or
·     if it is not practicable to sell such rights, do nothing and allow such rights to lapse, in which case the holders will receive nothing.
 
Cash. The TAM depositary will distribute any US dollars available to it resulting from a cash dividend or other cash distribution or the net proceeds of sales of any other distribution or portion thereof (to the extent applicable), on an averaged or other practicable basis, subject to (i) appropriate adjustments for taxes withheld, (ii) such distribution being impermissible or impracticable with respect to certain holders, and (iii) deduction of the TAM depositary’s fees and expenses in converting any foreign currency into US dollars, transferring foreign currency or US dollars to the United States, obtaining any approval or license required for such conversion or transfer and making any sale by public or private means in any commercially reasonable manner. Following such conversion, the TAM depositary will set the per ADS dividend rate and announce it to the NYSE, thereby setting both the record date and payment date in respect thereof.
 
If conversion into US dollars is not possible or if any approval from the Brazilian government is needed and cannot be obtained, the TAM depositary may distribute the foreign currency to those TAM ADR holders to whom it is possible to do so and will hold the foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of the TAM ADR holders who have not been paid. The TAM depositary will not invest the foreign currency on behalf of such holders and will not be liable for any interest. Before making any distribution, the TAM depositary will deduct any withholding taxes that must be paid under Brazilian law.
 
Shares. In the case of a distribution in shares, the TAM depositary will issue additional TAM ADRs to evidence the number of TAM ADSs representing such shares. The TAM depositary will only distribute whole TAM ADSs. The TAM depositary will sell shares which would require it to distribute fractions of TAM ADSs and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as cash to the TAM ADR holders entitled thereto.
 
Other Distributions. In the case of a distribution of securities or property other than those described above, the TAM depositary may either (i) distribute such securities or property in any manner it deems equitable and practicable or (ii) to the extent the TAM depositary deems distribution of such securities or property not to be equitable and practicable, sell such securities or property and distribute any net proceeds in the same way it distributes cash.
 
Profit share and other money distributions will be carried out proportionally to one LAN share represented by each LAN BDR. The distribution will be made in undivided Real and cents.
 
No interest nor any compensation will be owed by LAN to the LAN BDR holders for the period between the date the profit share and other money distributions are paid abroad and the date such payments are credited to the LAN BDR holders in Brazil.
 
Any tax amount that must be collected by the LAN depositary in accordance with applicable regulations will be retained before any profit shares or money distribution is paid to the BDR holder.

 
-244-

 

If the TAM depositary determines that any distribution described above is not practicable with respect to any specific TAM ADR holder, the TAM depositary may choose any practicable method of distribution for such TAM ADR holder, including the distribution of foreign currency, securities or property, or it may retain such items, without paying interest on or investing them, on behalf of the TAM ADR holder as TAM deposited securities, in which case the TAM ADSs will also represent the retained items. Fractional cents will be withheld without liability for interest thereon and dealt with by the TAM depositary in accordance with its then current practices. The TAM depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any TAM ADR holders.
 
If the TAM depositary determines that any distribution in property (including TAM preferred shares and rights to subscribe therefor) other than cash on TAM deposited securities is subject to any tax that the TAM depositary or the custodian is obligated to withhold, the TAM depositary may, by public or private sale, dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the TAM depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, and the TAM depositary will distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the TAM ADR holders entitled thereto.
   
     
Record Dates
     
The TAM depositary may, after consultation with TAM if practicable, fix a record date (which, to the extent applicable, shall be as near as practicable to any corresponding date set by TAM) for the determination of the holders who will be entitled (or obligated, as the case may be):
 
·     to receive a dividend, distribution or rights;
 
·     to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at a meeting of holders of TAM common shares or other TAM deposited securities;
 
·     to pay the fee assessed by the TAM depositary for administration of the ADR program and for any expenses provided for in the form of TAM ADR; or

TAM ADR holders will be charged a fee of $5.00 per 100 TAM ADSs (or any portion thereof) issued (including issuances resulting from distributions of shares, rights and other property), delivered, reduced, cancelled or surrendered in exchange for TAM deposited securities. The TAM depositary may sell (by public or private sale) sufficient securities and property received in respect of share distributions, rights and other distributions prior to such deposit to pay such charge.
 
The following additional charges shall be incurred by TAM ADR holders, by any party depositing or withdrawing TAM shares or by any party surrendering TAM ADRs, to whom TAM ADRs are issued (including, without limitation, pursuant to any dividend or stock split or an exchange of stock), whichever is applicable and to the extent not prohibited by the rules of the NYSE:

·     a fee for the distribution of securities (or the sale of securities in connection with a distribution), such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of TAM ADSs which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (treating all such securities as if they were TAM preferred shares) but which securities or the net cash proceeds from the sale thereof are instead distributed by the TAM depositary to those TAM ADR holders entitled thereto;
 
·     transfer or registration fees and delivery charges incurred at the investor’s request;
  
 

 
-246-

 

·     expenses of the TAM depositary in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into US dollars;

The fees described above may be amended from time to time by agreement of TAM and the TAM depositary.
   
     
Payment of Taxes
     
TAM ADR holders must pay any tax or other governmental charge payable by the custodian or the TAM depositary on any TAM ADS, TAM ADR, deposited security or distribution. If a TAM ADR holder owes any tax or other governmental charge, the TAM depositary may (i) deduct the amount thereof from any cash distributions or (ii) sell TAM deposited securities and deduct the amount owing from the net proceeds of such sale. In either case, the TAM ADR holder remains liable for any shortfall. Additionally, if any tax or governmental charge is unpaid, the TAM depositary may also refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of TAM deposited securities or withdrawal of TAM deposited securities (except under limited circumstances mandated by securities regulations). If any tax or governmental charge is required to be withheld on any non-cash distribution, the TAM depositary may sell the distributed property or securities to pay such taxes and distribute any remaining net proceeds to the TAM ADR holders entitled thereto.
 
By holding any TAM ADR or an interest therein, a holder agrees to indemnify TAM, the TAM depositary, the custodian and any of their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained in respect of, or arising out of, its TAM ADSs.
  
Any tax amount that must be collected by the LAN depositary, according to the applicable regulations, will be retained before the value distribution to the LAN BDR holders is carried out. LAN The BDR holders will be responsible for any taxes or other government charges over their BDRs, or over the DRs deposited before the custodian.
 
For LAN BDR holders who are entitled to government tax immunity or exemption, such immunity or exemption must be established by confirmation documents presented by LAN to the LAN depositary. If the LAN deposit agreement is terminated, these documents will be returned to LAN.

 
-247-

 

Reclassifications, Recapitalizations and Mergers
     
If TAM takes certain actions that affect the TAM deposited securities, including (i) any change in par value, split-up, consolidation, cancellation or other reclassification of TAM deposited securities or (ii) any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy or sale of all or substantially all of TAM’s assets, then the TAM depositary may choose to:
 
·     amend the form of TAM ADR;
 
·     distribute additional or amended TAM ADRs;
 
·     distribute cash, securities or other property it has received in connection with such actions;
 
·     sell any securities or property received and distribute the proceeds as cash; or
 
·     do none of the above.
 
If the TAM depositary does not choose any of the above options, any of the cash, securities or other property it receives will constitute part of the TAM deposited securities and each TAM ADS will then represent a proportionate interest in such property.
  
Right of preference. When applicable, it will be granted to the BDR holders the ability to exercise or freely dispose the right of preference to the subscription to shares and securities that might be issued by LAN, or other rights to be granted to the DR holders.
 
Securities bonuses and stock split. In case of a DR bonus or stock split, the LAN depositary will issue new LAN BDRs, corresponding to those securities, and will credit them to the LAN BDR holders. Only entire LAN BDRs will be distributed. Any fractions of LAN BDRs will be summed and sold in auction on Bovespa. The amount obtained in the auction process will be credited to each LAN BDR holder on a pro rata basis. Taxes of any nature that must be collected by the LAN depositary, according to the applicable law, will be retained before auction of fractional LAN BDRs is delivered to the LAN BDR holders. LAN may choose not to carry out the additional BDRs distribution to the holders and, instead, change the proportion between the underlying LAN common shares and the BDRs.
 
Reverse stock split. Areverse stock split of LAN shares will result in an automatic cancellation of LAN BDRS, to the extent necessary to reflect the new securities quantity deposited with the custodian. For those holders of LAN BDRs who maintain their receipts under Bovespa custody, the LAN depositary will inform the custodian of the reverse stock split, and the custodian will debit from each holder’s custody account to give effect to the automatic cancellation of LAN BDRs.. For those holders of LAN BDRs who maintain their receipts in the BDRs registry book, the LAN depositary will perform the debit from every BDR holder’s individualized account. Only entire BDRs will be cancelled. Any resulting fractional LAN BDRS will be summed and sold in auction on Bovespa, and the amount obtained from the auction process will be proportionally credited to each LAN BDR holder. Taxes of any nature that must be collected by the LAN depositary, according to the applicable law, will be retained before the distribution to the LAN BDR holders is carried out. LAN may choose not to carry out the cancellation of LAN BDRs necessary to register the reverse stock split to the holders of LAN BDRs, and instead change the proportion between the securities and the BDRs.

Voting
     
After receiving voting materials from TAM, the TAM depositary will notify the TAM ADR holders of any shareholder meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies. This notice will state such information as it is contained in the voting materials and describe how a TAM ADR holder may instruct the TAM depositary to exercise the voting rights for the shares which underlie the TAM ADSs and will include instructions for giving a discretionary proxy to a person designated by TAM. For instructions to be valid, the TAM depositary must receive them in the manner and on or before the date specified in the notice. The TAM depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to the provisions governing the underlying shares and TAM deposited securities, to vote or to have its agents vote the shares or other TAM deposited securities as the TAM ADR holder instructs. The TAM depositary will only vote or attempt to vote as instructed.
 
The TAM depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion, and neither the TAM depositary nor its agents will be responsible for any failure to carry out any voting instructions, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any vote.
 
The LAN BDR holders have the right to instruct the LAN depositary in order to set the vote, corresponding to the DRs deposited with the Custodian, exclusively regarding matters in which such DRs have the right to vote under the LAN bylaws.
 
A general assembly called by LAN will have its convocation addressed to the LAN depositary, and the LAN depositary will provide a mailing to the BDR holders, with the matters to be voted. LAN BDR holders who wish to exercising their vote will address their answers to the LAN depositary, which will be responsible for sending the Custodian the voting instructions.
 
The Custodian will vote or will designate a proxy to vote in the respective shareholder assembly, in accordance with the instructions received from the LAN depositary.
 
The LAN depositary and its agents will not be held responsible for any issue if the voting instructions are not received in time, or not received at all. This means that occasionally, the BDR holders may not be able to vote and cannot recourse, if the vote is not set as requested.
 
LAN cannot guarantee that the LAN BDR holders will timely take knowledge of the assembly its subject of vote, in such way to allow them to send their voting instructions to the LAN depositary on time.
 
Under no circumstances the LAN depositary will have the right to discretionarily carry out vote related to those DRs which role is to be the BDRs financial guarantee.
     
Limitations on Obligations and Liability to ADR and ADS Holders
     
The TAM deposit agreement expressly limits the obligations and liability of the TAM depositary, TAM and their respective agents, and none of them will be liable if:
 
·     any present or future law, rule or regulation of the United States, Brazil or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or any securities exchange or market or automated quotation system, the provisions of TAM’s articles of association, any act of God, war, terrorism or other circumstances beyond its control shall prevent, delay or subject to any civil or criminal penalty any act which the TAM deposit agreement or the TAM ADRs provide shall be done or performed by it or them (including, without limitation, voting);
  
The LAN deposit agreement limits the obligations and liability of the LAN depositary, LAN and their respective agents as follows:
 
·     The LAN depositary will not be liable if any information disclosure is not made in Brazil by the LAN depositary, if not previously informed by LAN.
 

 
-249-

 

·     it exercises or fails to exercise discretion given to it under the TAM deposit agreement or the TAM ADR;
 
·     it performs its obligations without gross negligence or bad faith;
 
·     it takes any action or refrains from taking any action in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting TAM preferred shares for deposit, any TAM ADR holder, or any other person believed by it to be competent to give such advice or information; or
 
·     it relies upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
 
Neither the TAM depositary nor its agents has any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any deposited securities or the ADRs. TAM and its agents will only be obligated to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any TAM deposited securities or the TAM ADRs, which in TAM’s opinion may involve it in expense or liability, if indemnity satisfactory to TAM against all expense (including fees and disbursements of counsel) and liability is furnished as often as may be required. The TAM depositary and its agents may fully respond to any and all demands or requests for information maintained by or on its behalf in connection with the TAM deposit agreement, any registered holder(s) of TAM ADRs, any TAM ADSs or otherwise to the extent such information is requested or required by or pursuant to any lawful authority, including, without limitation, laws, rules, regulations, administrative or judicial process, banking, securities or other regulators. The depositary will not be responsible for failing to carry out instructions to vote the deposited securities or for the manner in which the deposited securities are voted or the effect of the vote. In no event shall the TAM depositary or any of its agents be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages. The TAM depositary may own and deal in deposited securities and in TAM ADSs. TAM has agreed to indemnify, defend and save harmless the TAM depositary and its agents under certain circumstances, and the TAM depositary has agreed to indemnify, defend and save harmless TAM under certain circumstances.
 
·     Neither LAN nor the LAN depositary will be held responsible for any BDR holders’ action or omission regarding the referred holder obligations set by the Brazilian law or regulations related to foreign investments in Brazil, regarding withdrawing and selling of underlying LAN common shares deposited before the custodian. The irregular actions or omissions include, but are not limited to any failure in complying with an investment registry requisite, demanded by any applicable Brazilian rule, or any failure in reporting a foreign currency transaction to Banco Central do Brasil, whichever is the case.
 
The LAN depositary and its agents will not be held responsible for any issue if the voting instructions are not received in time, or not received at all. This means that occasionally, LAN BDR holders may not be able to vote and have no recourse if the vote is not set as requested.

The TAM depositary may also suspend issuance of TAM ADSs, deposit of shares, registration, transfer, split-up or combination of TAM ADRs, or the withdrawal of TAM deposited securities (unless the TAM deposit agreement provides otherwise), if the register for such ADRs or any TAM deposited securities is closed or the TAM depositary decides it is advisable to do so or the TAM depositary is requested to do so by TAM.

Under no conditions will BDRs be issued without the respective confirmation from the custodian that the whole amount corresponding to the underlying shares has been deposited with the custodian.
     
Pre-Release of ADRs
     
The TAM depositary may issue TAM ADSs prior to the deposit with the custodian of TAM preferred shares (or rights to receive such shares), which we refer to as a “pre-release” of TAM ADRs, but only if:
 
·     the TAM depositary has received collateral for the full market value of the pre-released TAM ADRs (marked to market daily); and
 
·     each recipient of pre-released TAM ADRs agrees in writing that it:
 
§     owns the underlying shares;
 
§    assigns all rights in such shares to the depositary;
  
Under no conditions will LAN BDRs be issued without the respective confirmation from the custodian that the whole amount corresponding to the underlying LAN shares has been deposited before the custodian.

 
-252-

 

§     holds such shares for the account of the TAM depositary; and
 
§     will deliver such shares to the custodian as soon as practicable, and promptly if the TAM depositary so demands.
 
In general, the number of pre-released TAM ADRs will not evidence more than 30% of all TAM ADSs outstanding at any given time (excluding those evidenced by such pre-released ADRs). However, the TAM depositary may change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate and may retain for its own account any earnings on collateral for pre-released TAM ADRs and its charges for issuance thereof.
   
     
Appointment
     
In the TAM deposit agreement, each holder and each person holding an interest in TAM ADSs, upon acceptance of any TAM ADSs (or any interest therein) issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the TAM deposit agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to:
 
·     be a party to and bound by the terms of the TAM deposit agreement and the applicable TAM ADRs; and
 
·     appoint the TAM depositary as its attorney-in-fact, with full power to delegate, to act on its behalf and to take any and all actions contemplated in the TAM deposit agreement and the applicable TAM ADRs, to adopt any and all procedures necessary to comply with applicable law and to take such action as the TAM depositary in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the TAM deposit agreement and the applicable TAM ADRs, the taking of such actions to be conclusive determination of the necessity and appropriateness thereof.
 
In the TAM deposit agreement, LAN concedes special authority to the LAN depositary for, on his behalf, perform all necessary actions for the execution of the services established.
     
Amendment & Termination
     
Amendment. The TAM ADRs and the TAM deposit agreement may be amended by TAM and the TAM depositary without the consent of any TAM ADR holder for any reason. If an amendment imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses) or prejudices any substantial existing right of TAM ADR holders, such holders must be given 30 days’ notice of any such amendment. If a TAM ADR holder continues to hold TAM ADRs after being so notified, such TAM ADR holder is deemed to agree to such amendment.
  
Amendment. The LAN BDR agreement, as well as the rights assigned to the LAN BDR holders, may be modified without the LAN BDR holders consent.
 
Any relevant modification to the LAN BDR agreement will be communicated by the LAN depositary to the BDR holders by means of a written notification. This notification will be addressed to all LAN BDR holders addresses, as registered in the LAN BDR registry book, and respective brokers and custody agents.

 
-253-

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body or regulatory body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the TAM deposit agreement or the form of TAM ADR, TAM or the TAM depositary may amend or supplement the TAM deposit agreement or the TAM ADR at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or supplement may take effect before a notice is given to TAM ADR holders or within any other period of time as required for compliance. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the registered holder of any TAM ADR to surrender such TAM ADR and receive the TAM deposited securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.
 
Termination. The TAM depositary may terminate the TAM deposit agreement by giving the TAM ADR holders at least 30 days’ prior notice, and it must do so at TAM’s request. The TAM deposit agreement will be terminated on the removal of the TAM depositary for any reason.
 
After termination, the TAM depositary’s only responsibility will be:
 
·     to deliver TAM deposited securities to TAM ADR holders who surrender their TAM ADRs; and
 
·     to hold or sell distributions received on TAM deposited securities.
 
As soon as practicable after the expiration of six months from the termination date, the TAM depositary will sell the TAM deposited securities which remain and hold the net proceeds of such sales, without liability for interest, in trust for the TAM ADR holders who have not yet surrendered their TAM ADRs. After making such sale, the TAM depositary shall have no obligations except to account for such proceeds and other cash. The TAM depositary will not be required to invest such proceeds or pay interest on them.
  
Any modification to the LAN BDR agreement that (i) includes or increases tax or charges (unless such tax or charge is related to government taxes or charges or registry fees, or cost due to cable transmission, SWIFT, or email, or fac-simile, or mail expenses or any other similar expenses) or (ii) affects an important LAN BDR holder right, such modification will only be effective 30 (thirty) days after the notification has been sent.
 
When the modification to the LAN BDR agreement becomes effective, the LAN BDR holders, by keeping their receipts of ownership (i) agree with the modification and to the new agreement terms, (ii) accept the LAN BDR holders rights modification.

Unilateral resolution. (A) Unilateral resolution due to agreement infraction:  this agreement may be resolved by any of the parts if the other one fails to comply with a duty hereby established and if in 5 (five) days after having received a written notification, takes none of the following actions:  (i) to cease or fix the perpetrated infraction, notwithstanding the remaining indemnity obligation due to the confirmed caused damage; or (ii) to restitute the harmed part for the confirmed caused damages when it will not be anymore possible to fulfill the obligation or if its fulfillment no more satisfies the harmed part interests. (B) Unilateral resolution by LAN depositary:  LAN depositary may unilaterally resolve the agreement if:  (i) LAN demands from the depositary the practice of illegal or doubtful nature operations, before current financial and capital markets or before these markets custom and usage; and (ii) LAN has its bankruptcy declared or has his request for composition with his creditors, either judicial or not, accepted. (C) Unilateral resolution by LAN:  LAN may unilaterally resolve the agreement if the LAN depositary:  (i) has its bankruptcy declared; (ii) is submitted to extrajudicial intervention; or (iii) is submitted to judicial or extra-judicial termination or dissolution.
 
If the agreement is terminated, the LAN depositary will communicate such termination to the BDR holders in writing to the respective brokers or custody agent addresses, at least 30 (thirty) days ahead the agreement termination date. The LAN depositary will continue to be responsible for maintaining the BDR Registry Book and other correlated services for 20 (twenty) days after the agreement termination. During such period, the BDRs registries and provision of services will be provided only if requested or indicated until the date of the contract dissolution, after this date, the BDR Registry Book will be ended.

 
-254-

 

   
If a new depositary is nominated before the ending of the agreement or during the 20-day period mentioned above, LAN will notify the depositary, which, immediately after the acknowledgement of this notification, will be committed to:  (i) transfer to the new depositary, the BDR holders registries and all rights and responsibilities accorded the LAN depositary; (ii) to immediately provide LAN and the new depositary with all information and documents in its possession related to its depositary services; (iii) facilitate the transfer to the new depositary of the BDRs, registries and other information related to LAN or to the new depositary, ; and (iv) provide the services stated in the agreement until the effective transference to the new depositary.
     
Compliance with Other Law

TAM has reserved the right to request the investor to deliver its TAM ADSs for cancellation and withdrawal of the TAM deposited securities so as to permit TAM to deal with the investor directly as a holder of TAM deposited securities and, by holding a TAM ADS or an interest therein, the investor will be agreeing to comply with such instructions.

The Company’s management believes that the adoption of the standards, amendments and interpretations described above would not have had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the period of their first application. The Company has not yet adopted any of the above standards.
 
 
(a)
Subsidiaries
 
Subsidiaries are all the entities (including special-purpose entities) over which the Company has the power to control the financial and operating policies, which are generally accompanied by a holding of more than half of the voting rights. In evaluating whether the Company controls another entity, the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is passed to the Company and they are excluded from the consolidation on the date they cease to be so controlled.
 
The Company uses the acquisition-cost method or purchase accounting for the purchase of subsidiaries. The cost of acquisition is the fair value of the assets delivered, the equity instruments issued and the liabilities incurred or assumed on the exchange date. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially valued at their fair value on the date of acquisition, regardless of the extent of the non-controlling interests. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the Company’s holding in the net identifiable assets acquired is shown as goodwill. If the cost is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is recorded directly in the consolidated statement of income (Note 2.6).
 
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the Company’s entities are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment loss of the asset transferred. When necessary in order to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company, the accounting policies of the subsidiaries are modified.
 
(b)
Transactions with non-controlling interests
 
The Company applies the policy of considering transactions with non-controlling interests, when not related to loss of control, as equity transactions without an effect on income.
 
(c)
Investees or associates
 
Investees or associates are all entities over which Lan Airlines S.A. and Subsidiaries have a significant influence but has no control, this usually arise by a holding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are booked using the equity method and are initially recorded at their cost.
 
The participation of Lan Airlines S.A. and Subsidiaries in the losses or gains after the acquisition of its investees or associates is shown in results, and its participation in post-acquisition movements in reserves of investees or associates are shown in reserves.
 
 
-270-

 
 
Post-acquisition movement is adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the participation of Lan Airlines S.A. and Subsidiaries in the losses of an investee or associate is equal to or more than their holding in it, including any other non-guaranteed account receivable, Lan Airlines S.A. and Subsidiaries will not show the additional losses unless they have incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee or associate.
 
Gains or losses for dilution in investees or associates are shown in the consolidated statement of income.
 
 
(a)
Presentation and functional currencies
 
The items included in the financial statements of each of the entities of Lan Airlines S.A. and Subsidiaries are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of Lan Airlines S.A. is the United States dollar, which is also the currency of presentation of the consolidated financial statements of Lan Airlines S.A. and Subsidiaries.
 
(b)
Transactions and balances
 
Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates on the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the liquidation of these transactions and from the translation at the closing exchange rates of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are shown in the consolidated statement of income.
 
(c)
Group entities
 
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency other than the currency of presentation are translated to the currency of presentation as follows:
 
(i)
Assets and liabilities of each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing exchange rate on the consolidated statement of financial position date;
 
(ii)
The revenues and expenses of each results account are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates;
 
(iii)
All the resultant exchange differences are shown as a separate component in net equity.
 
In the consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of a net investment in foreign entities (or local with a functional currency different to that of the parent), and of loans and other foreign currency instruments designated as hedges for these investments, are recorded within net equity. When the investment is sold, these exchange differences are shown in the consolidated statement of income as part of the loss or gain on the sale.
 
Adjustments to the goodwill and fair value arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the period-end exchange rate.
 
 
The land of Lan Airlines S.A. and Subsidiaries is recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the property, plant and equipment is shown, initially and subsequently, at historic cost less the corresponding depreciation and any impairment loss, except for certain land and minor equipment that are reassessed at first adoption, according to IFRS.
 
The amounts of advance payments to aircraft manufacturers are capitalized by the Company under Construction in progress until receipt of the aircraft.
 
 
-271-

 
 
Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements, extensions, etc.) are included in the value of the initial asset or shown as a separate asset only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the elements of property, plant and equipment are going to flow to the Company and the cost of the element can be determined reliably. The value of the component replaced is written off in the books at the time of replacement. The rest of the repairs and maintenance are charged to the result of the year in which they are incurred.
 
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated technical useful lives, except in the case of certain technical components which are depreciated on the basis of cycles and hours flown.
 
The residual value and useful life of assets is revised, and adjusted if necessary, once a year.
 
When the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, its value is reduced immediately to its recoverable amount (Note 2.8).
 
Losses and gains on the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the proceeds obtained with the book value and are included in the consolidated statement of income.
 
 
Computer software
 
Licenses for computer software acquired are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred in acquiring them and preparing them for using the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
 
Expenses related to the development or maintenance of computer software which do not qualify for capitalization, are shown as an expense when incurred. Certain costs directly related to the production of unique and identifiable computer software controlled by the Company, are shown as intangible assets when they meet all the criteria for capitalization. The direct costs include the expenses of the personnel who develop the computer software and other directly associated costs.
 
Development costs of computer software shown as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
 
 
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the Company’s participation in the net identifiable assets of the Subsidiary on the acquisition date. Goodwill related to acquisitions of Subsidiaries is not amortized but tested for impairment annually and when there are indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Gains and losses on the sale of an entity include the book amount of the goodwill related to the entity sold.
 
 
Interest costs incurred for the construction of any qualified asset are capitalized over the time necessary for completing and preparing the asset for its intended use. Other interest costs are charged to income and expenses.
 
 
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, and developing IT projects, are not subject to amortization and are subject to annual testing for impairment losses. Assets subject to amortization are subjected to impairment tests whenever any event or change in circumstances indicates that the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded when the book value is greater than the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In evaluating the impairment, the assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable (CGUs). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have suffered an impairment loss are subjected to a test once a year to check that there has been no reversal of the loss.
 
 
-272-

 

 
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:  financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and accounts receivable and financial assets held to maturity. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at the time of initial recognition, which occurs on the date of transition.
 
(a)           Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
 
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are financial instruments held for trading and those in their initial classification have been designated as at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired mainly for the purpose of being sold in the near future or when these assets are managed and measured using fair value. Derivatives are also classified as acquired for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as cash and cash equivalents, held for trading, and other financial assets, designated on initial recognition.
 
(b)           Loans and accounts receivable
 
Loans and accounts receivable are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments not traded on an active market. These items are classified in current assets except for those with maturity over 12 months from the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and accounts receivable are included in trade and other accounts receivable in the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 2.12).
 
(c)           Financial assets held to maturity
 
Financial assets held to maturity are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company’s management has the positive intention and capacity to hold until their maturity. Should the Company sell a not-insignificant amount of the financial assets held to their maturity, the whole category is reclassified as available for sale. These financial instruments held to maturity are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturity equal to or less than 12 months from the consolidated statement of financial position, which are classified as other current financial assets.
 
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date – the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate.
 
 
-273-

 
 
The company is valued at the date of each consolidated statement of financial position if there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may have suffered an impairment loss. In the case of financial assets held to maturity, if there is any evidence of impairment, the amount of the provision is the difference between the book value of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
 
 
Derivatives are booked initially at fair value on the date the derivative contracts are signed and later they continue to be valued at their fair value. The method for booking the resultant loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item hedged. The Company designates certain derivatives as:
 
(a)           Hedge of the fair value of recognized assets (fair value hedge);
 
(b)           Hedge of an identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly probable transaction (cash-flow hedge); or
 
(c)           Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting.
 
The Company documents, at the inception of each transaction, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its objectives for managing risk and the strategy for carrying out various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the beginning and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the items being hedged.
 
The total fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as an other non-current financial asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the item hedged is over 12 months, and as another current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the item hedged is less than 12 months.
 
Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as other financial assets or liabilities, current if their remaining maturity is less than 12 months and non-current if it is more than 12 months.
 
(a)
Fair value hedges
 
Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges are shown in the consolidated statement of income, together with any change in the fair value of the asset or liability hedged that is attributable to the risk being hedged.
 
(b)
Cash flow hedges
 
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in statement of other comprehensive income. The loss or gain relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income under “Other gains (losses)”.
 
In the case of variable interest-rate hedges, the amounts recognized in statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to results within financial cost at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.
 
For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to income as Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.
 
When hedging instruments mature or are sold or when they do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedges, any gain or loss accumulated in statement of other comprehensive income until that moment remains in statement of other comprehensive income and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized. When it is expected that the hedged transaction is no longer going to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in statement of other comprehensive income is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income as “Other gains (losses)”.
 
 
-274-

 

(c)
Derivatives not booked as a hedge
 
Certain derivatives are not booked as a hedge. The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that is not booked as a hedge are shown immediately in the consolidated statement of income, in “Other gains (losses)”.
 
2.11.
 
Inventories, detailed in note 10, are shown at the lower of cost and their net realizable value. The cost is determined on the basis of the weighted average cost method. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
 
 
Trade accounts receivable are shown initially at their fair value and later at their amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method, less the allowance for impairment losses. An allowance for impairment losses of trade accounts receivable is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover all the amounts due according to the original terms of the accounts receivable. The existence of significant financial difficulties on the part of the debtor, the probability that the debtor is entering bankruptcy or financial reorganization and the default or delay in making payments are considered as indicators that the receivable has been impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the book value of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The book value of the asset is reduced by the amount of the allowance and the loss is shown in the consolidated statement of income in Cost of sales. When an account receivable is written off, it is charged to the allowance account for accounts receivable.
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, time deposits in financial institutions, and other short-term and easily liquidated investments.
 
2.14.
 
The common shares are classified as net equity.
 
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are shown in net equity as a deduction from the proceeds obtained.
 
 
Trade payables and other accounts payables initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost are valued according to the effective interest rate method.
 
 
Financial liabilities are shown initially at their fair value, net of the costs incurred in the transaction. Later, these financial liabilities are valued at their amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds obtained (net of the necessary arrangement costs) and the repayment value, is shown in the consolidated statement of income during the term of the debt, according to the effective interest rate method.
 
Financial liabilities are classified in current and non-current liabilities according to the contractual payment dates of the nominal principal.
 
 
-275-

 
 
 
Deferred taxes are calculated, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their book values. However, if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of a liability or an asset in a transaction different from a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect the accounting result or the tax gain or loss, they are not booked. The deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws), that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period, and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability discharged.
 
Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax earnings with which to compensate the temporary differences.
 
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
 
 
(a)
Personnel vacations
 
The Company recognizes the expense for personnel vacations on an accrual basis.
 
(b)
Share-based compensation
 
The compensation plans implemented by the granting of options for the subscription and payment of shares are shown in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 2:  Share-based payments, showing the effect of the fair value of the options granted as a charge to remuneration on a straight-line basis between the date of granting such options and the date on which these become vested.
 
(c)
Post-employment and other long-term benefits
 
Provisions are made for these obligations by the application of the actuarial value of the accrued cost of the benefit method, taking into account estimates of future permanence, mortality rates and future wage increases determined on the basis of actuarial calculations. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest-rate curves. Actuarial gains or losses are shown in results for the period when they occur.
 
(d)
Incentives
 
The Company has an annual incentive plan for its personnel for compliance with objectives and individual contribution to the results. The incentives eventually granted consist of a given number or portion of monthly remuneration and the provision is made on the basis of the amount estimated for distribution.
 
2.19.
 
Provisions are recognized when:
 
(i)
The Company has a current legal or implicit obligation as a result of past events,
 
(ii)
It is probable that some payment is going to be necessary to settle an obligation, and
 
(iii)
The amount has been reliably estimated.
 
Provisions are shown at the present value of the disbursements expected to be necessary for settling the obligation using the Company’s best estimates. The pre-tax discount rate used for determining the present value reflects current market evaluations on the date of the financial statements of the time value of money, plus the specific risks related to the liability in question.
 
 
-276-

 

 
Revenues include the fair value of the proceeds received or to be received on sales of goods and rendering services in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Revenues are shown net of refunds, rebates and discounts.
 
(a)
Rendering of services
 
 
a.1
Passenger and cargo transport
 
The Company shows revenue from the transportation of passengers and cargo once the service has been provided.
 
 
a.2
Frequent flyer program
 
The Company currently has a frequent flyer program called Lan Pass, whose objective is customer loyalty through the delivery of kilometers every time that members fly with the Company or its alliance partners, use the services of entities registered with the program or make purchases with an associated credit card. The kilometers earned can be exchanged for flight tickets or other services of associated entities. The consolidated financial statements include liabilities for this concept (deferred income), according to the estimate of the valuation established for the kilometers accumulated pending use at that date, in accordance with IFRIC 13:  Customer loyalty programs.
 
 
a.3
Other revenues
 
The Company records revenues for other services when these have been provided.
 
(b)
Interest income
 
Interest income is booked using the effective interest rate method.
 
(c)
Dividend income
 
Dividend income is booked when the right to receive the payment is established.
 
2.21.
 
(a)
When the Company is the lessee – financial lease
 
The Company leases certain property, plant and equipment in which it has substantially all the risk and benefits deriving from the ownership; they are therefore classified as financial leases. Financial leases are capitalized at the start of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the asset leased and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
 
Every lease payment is separated between the liability component and the financial expenses so as to obtain a constant interest rate over the outstanding amount of the debt. The corresponding leasing obligations, net of financial charges, are included in Interest-bearing loans. The element of interest in the financial cost is charged in the consolidated statement of income over the lease period so that it produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The asset acquired under a financial lease is depreciated over the shorter of its useful life and the lease term and is included in Property, plant and equipment.
 
 
-277-

 

(b)
When the Company is the lessee – operating lease
 
Leases, in which the lessor retains an important part of the risks and benefits deriving from ownership, are classified as operating leases. Payments with respect to operating leases (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are charged in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
 
 
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale and are shown at the lesser of their book value and the fair value less costs to sell.
 
2.23.
 
The costs incurred for scheduled major maintenance of the aircraft’s fuselage and engines are capitalized and depreciated until the next maintenance. The depreciation rate is determined on technical grounds, according to its use expressed based on cycles and flight hours.
 
The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, and minor maintenance, are charged to income as incurred.
 
 
Disbursements related to environmental protection are charged to income when incurred.
 
 
-278-

 

 
 
The Company’s activities are exposed to different financial risks:  (a) market risk, (b) credit risk, and (c) liquidity risk. The Company’s global risk management program is focused on uncertainty in the financial markets and tries to minimize the potential adverse effects on the net margin. The Company uses derivatives to hedge part of these risks.
 
(a)
Market risk
 
Due to the nature of its operations, the Company is exposed to market risks such as:
 
(i) fuel-price risk, (ii) interest-rate risk, and (iii) local exchange-rate risk. In order to fully or partially hedge all these risks, the Company operates with derivative instruments to fix or limit rises in the underlying assets.
 
(i)
Fuel-price risk:
 
Fluctuations in fuel prices largely depend on the global supply and demand for oil, decisions taken by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), global refining capacity, stock levels maintained, weather and geopolitical factors.
 
The Company purchases an aircraft fuel called Jet Fuel grade 54. There is a benchmark price in the international market for this underlying asset, which is US Gulf Coast Jet 54. However, the futures market for this asset has a low liquidity index and as a result the Company hedges its exposure using West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude and distillate Heating Oil (HO), which has a high correlation with Jet Fuel, is a highly liquid asset and therefore has advantages in comparison to the use of the U.S. Gulf Coast Jet 54 index.
 
During the first semester 2011, the Company booked gains of US$42.7 million on fuel hedging. During the same period 2010, the Company recognized losses of US$1.3 million for the same reason.
 
As of June 30, 2011, the market value of its fuel positions amounted to US$15.7 million. At December 31, 2010, this market value was US$45.8 million. The following tables show the notional value of the purchase positions together with the derivatives contracted for the different periods:

Sensitivity analysis
 
A drop in fuel prices positively affects the Company through a reduction in costs. However, this drop negatively affects contracted positions as these are to protect the Company against the risk of a rise in prices. The policy therefore is to maintain a hedge-free percentage in order to be competitive in the event of a drop in prices.
 
As the current positions do not represent changes in cash flows, but a variation in the exposure to the market value, the current hedge positions have no impact on income (they are booked as cash flow hedge contracts; so a variation in the fuel price has an impact on the Company’s net equity).
 
The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments according to reasonable changes in the fuel price and their effect on equity. The term of the projection was defined until the end of the last current fuel hedge contract, being the last business day of 2011. The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$5 per barrel in the curve of the WTI and HO crude futures benchmark price at June 30, 2011 and the end of December 2010.

The Company seeks to reduce the risk of fuel price rises to ensure it is not left at a disadvantage compared to its competitors in the event of a sharp price fall. The Company therefore uses hedge instruments like swaps, call options and collars to partially hedge the fuel volumes consumed.
 
According to that required by IAS 39, during the periods presented, the Company has not recorded amounts for ineffectiveness in the consolidated income statement.
 
Given the fuel hedge structure during the first semester 2011, which considers a hedge-free portion, a vertical fall by US$5 in the WTI benchmark price (the monthly daily average) for each month would have meant a decrease of approximately US$21.6 million in the cost of total fuel consumption. A vertical rise by US$5 in the WTI benchmark price (the monthly daily average) would have meant an impact of approximately US$11.3 million of increased fuel costs for the first semester 2011.
 
(ii)
Cash flow interest-rate risk:
 
The fluctuation in interest rates depends heavily on the state of the global economy. An improvement in long-term economic prospects moves long-term rates upward while a drop causes a decline through market effects. However, if we consider government intervention in periods of economic recession, it is usual to reduce interest rates to stimulate aggregate demand by making credit more accessible and increasing production (in the same way interest rates are raised at times of economic expansion). The present uncertainty about how the market and governments will react, and thus how interest rates will change, creates a risk related to the Company’s debt at floating interest rates and its investments.
 
 
-280-

 
 
Cash flow interest rate risk equates to the risk of future cash flows of the financial instruments due to the fluctuation in interest rates on the market. The Company’s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates is mainly related to long-term obligations that accrued interest at a floating rate.
 
In order to reduce the risk of an eventual rise in interest rates, the Company has signed interest-rate swap and call option contracts in order to eliminate more than 88% of its exposure to interest-rate fluctuations. The Company is therefore exposed to a small portion of the fluctuations in the 90-day London Inter Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR) and the nominal Chilean Active Banking Rate (TAB) 180-day rate.
 
The following table shows the sensitivity of changes in financial obligations that are not hedged against interest-rate variations. These changes are considered reasonably possible based on current market conditions.

Changes in market conditions produce a change in the valuation of current financial instruments hedging interest rates, causing an effect on the Company’s equity (because they are booked as cash-flow hedges). These changes are considered reasonably possible based on current market conditions. The calculations were made increasing (decreasing) vertically 100 basis points of the three-month Libor futures curve.

There are limitations in the method used for the sensitivity analysis and relate to those provided by the market. These are because the levels indicated by the futures curves are not necessarily met and will change in each period.
 
According to that required by IAS 39, during the periods presented, the Company has not recorded amounts for ineffectiveness in the consolidated income statement.
 
(iii)
Local exchange-rate risk:
 
The functional currency used by the parent Company is the US dollar in terms of setting prices for its services, the composition of its classified statements of financial position and effects on its operating income. It sells most of its services in US dollars or prices equivalent to the US dollar, and a large part of its expenses are denominated in US dollars or equivalents to the US dollar, particularly fuel costs, aeronautical charges, aircraft leases, insurance and aircraft components and accessories. Remuneration expenses are denominated in local currencies.
 
The Company maintains its cargo and passenger business tariffs in US dollars. There is a mix in the domestic markets as sales in Peru are in local currency but the prices are indexed to the US dollar. In Chile and Argentina, tariffs are in local currency without any kind of indexation. In the case of the domestic business in Ecuador, both tariffs and sales are in dollars. The Company is therefore exposed to fluctuations in the different currencies, mainly:  Chilean peso, Argentine peso, Uruguayan peso, Euro, Peruvian sol, Brazilian real, Colombian peso, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar; of these, the largest exposure is in Chilean pesos.
 
The Company manages its exposure to foreign currency risk through hedging selected balances using forward exchange contracts and cross currency swaps.

(b)
Credit risk
 
Credit risk occurs when the counterparty to a financial agreement or instrument fails to discharge an obligation due or financial instrument, leading to a loss in market value of a financial instrument (only financial assets, not liabilities).
 
The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its operative and financial activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in other kinds of instruments, exchange-rate transactions and the contracting of derivative instruments or options.
 
(i)
Financial activities
 
Cash surpluses that remain after the financing of assets necessary for the operation are invested according to credit limits approved by the Company’s Board, mainly in time deposits with different financial institutions, short-term mutual funds, and easily liquidated corporate and sovereign bonds with short remaining maturities. These investments are booked as cash and cash equivalents and as investments held to maturity.
 
In order to reduce counterparty risk and to ensure that the risk assumed is known and managed by the Company, investments are diversified among different banking institutions (both local and international). The Company evaluates the credit standing of each counterparty and the levels of investment, based on (i) their credit rating, (ii) the equity size of the counterparty, and (iii) investment limits according to the Company’s level of liquidity. According to these three parameters, the Company chooses the most restrictive parameter of the previous three and based on this, establishes limits for operations with each counterparty.
 
The Company has no guarantees to mitigate this exposure.
 
(ii)
Operational activities
 
The Company has four large sales “clusters”:  travel agencies, cargo agents, airlines and credit-card administrators. The first three are governed by IATA (International Air Transport Association), the international organization comprising most of the airlines that represent over 90% of scheduled commercial traffic, and one of its main objectives is to regulate the financial transactions between airlines and travel agents and cargo. When an agency or airline does not pay its debt, it is excluded from operating with IATA’s member airlines. In the case of credit-card administrators, they are fully guaranteed by the issuing institutions.
 
The exposure consists of the term granted, and this fluctuates between 1 and 45 days.
 
One of the tools the Company uses for reducing credit risk is to participate in global entities related to the industry, such as IATA, Business Sales Processing (BSP), Cargo Account Settlement Systems (“CASS”), IATA Clearing House (“ICH”) and banks (credit cards). These institutions fulfill the role of collectors and distributors between airlines and travel and cargo agencies. In the case of the Clearing House, it acts as an offsetting entity between airlines for the services provided between them. A reduction in term and implementation of guarantees has been achieved through these entities.
 
Credit quality of financial assets
 
The external credit evaluation system used by the Company is provided by IATA. Internal systems are also used for particular evaluations or specific markets based on trade reports available on the local market. The internal classification system is complementary to the external one, i.e., for agencies or airlines not members of IATA, the internal demands are greater. The bad-debt rate in the principal countries where the Company has a presence is insignificant.
 
(c)
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company has no funds to meet its obligations.
 
 
-282-

 
 
Because of the cyclical nature of the business, the operation, and its investment and financing needs related to the acquisition of new aircraft and renewal of its fleet, plus the financing needs related to market-risk hedges, the Company requires liquid funds to meet its payment obligations.
 
The Company therefore manages its cash and cash equivalents and its financial assets, matching the term of investments with those of its obligations. Its policy is that the average term of its investments may not exceed the average term of its obligations. This cash and cash equivalents position is invested in highly liquid short-term instruments through first-class financial entities.
 
The Company has future obligations related to financial leases, operating leases, maturities of other bank borrowings, derivative contracts and aircraft purchase contracts.

The Company has fuel and interest rate hedging strategies involving derivatives contracts with different financial institutions. The Company has margin facilities with each financial institution in order to regulate the mutual exposure produced by changes in the market valuation of the derivatives.
 
At the end of 2010, the Company had provided US$78.5 million in derivative margin guarantees, for cash and stand-by letters of credit. At the end of June 30, 2011, the Company had provided US$96.4 million in guarantees for cash and stand-by letters of credit. The increase was due to maturity and acquisition of fuel contracts and rates, rising fuel prices and falling interest rates.
 
 
The Company’s objectives, with respect to the management of capital, are (i) to safeguard it in order to continue as an on-going business, (ii) to seek a return for its shareholders, and (iii) to maintain an optimum capital structure and reduce its costs.
 
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of the dividends payable to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
 
The Company monitors the adjusted leverage ratio, in line with industry practice. This index is calculated as net adjusted debt divided by the sum between adjusted equity and net adjusted debt. Net adjusted debt is total financial debt plus 8 times the operating lease payments of the last 12 months, less total cash (measured as the sum of cash and cash equivalents plus marketable securities). Capital is the amount of net equity without the impact of the market value of derivatives, plus net adjusted debt.
 
Currently, the Company’s strategy, which has not changed since 2007, has consisted of maintaining a leverage ratio of between 70% and 80% and an international credit rating of higher than BBB- (the minimum required for being considered investment grade). The leverage ratios as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, were as follows:

At June 30, 2011, the Company maintained financial instruments that should be recorded at fair value. These include:
 
Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent),
Interest rate derivative contracts,
Fuel derivative contracts,
Currency derivative contracts, and
Investment funds.

 
-286-

 

The Company has classified the fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the level of information used in the assessment. This hierarchy consists of 3 levels (I) fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (II) fair value based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) and (III) fair value based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
 
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as investments acquired for trading, is based on quoted market prices at the close of the period using the current price of the buyer. The fair value of financial assets not traded in active markets (derivative contracts) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize use of available market information. Valuation techniques generally used by the Company are quoted market prices of similar instruments and / or estimating the present value of future cash flows using forward price curves of the market at the close of the period.
 
The following table shows the classification of financial instruments at fair value at June 30, 2011 depending on the level of information used in the assessment:

The book values of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to approximate their fair values, due to their short-term nature. In the case of cash on hand, bank balances, deposits and others accounts payable, non-currents, fair value approximates their carrying values.
 
The fair value of other financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate for similar financial instruments. In the case of other financial assets, valuation was performed according to market prices at year-end.
 
 
The Company has used estimates to value and book some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments; these relate principally to:
 
1.
The evaluation of possible impairment losses for certain assets.
 
2.
The useful lives and residual values of fixed and intangible assets.
 
3.
The criteria employed in the valuation of certain assets.
 
4.
Air tickets sold that are not actually used.
 
5.
The calculation of deferred income at the period-end, corresponding to the valuation of kilometers credited to holders of the Lan Pass loyalty card which have not yet been used.
 
6.
The need for provisions and, where required, the determination of their values.
 
7.
The recoverability of deferred tax assets.

 
-288-

 

These estimates are made on the basis of the best information available on the matters analyzed.
 
In any case, it is possible that events will require them to be modified in the future, in which case the effects would be accounted for prospectively.
 
 
The Company reports information by segments as established in IFRS 8 “Operating segments”. This standard sets rules for the reporting of information by segments in the financial statements, plus reporting about products and services, geographical areas and principal customers.
 
An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity on which financial information is held separately and which is evaluated regularly by the senior management in taking decisions with respect to the assignment of resources and the evaluation of results. The Company believes that it has only one operating segment:  air transportation.

Decrease in allowance
    129  
Balance as of June 30, 2011
    (21,510 )

Once extra-judicial and judicial collection efforts are exhausted, the assets are written off against the allowance. The Company only uses the allowance method rather than direct write-off, to ensure control.
 
Historic and current re-negotiations are not relevant and the policy is to analyze case by case in order to classify them according to the existence of risk, determining whether it is appropriate to re-classify accounts as in pre-judicial recovery. If such re-classification is justified, an allowance is made for the account, whether overdue or falling due.
 
The maximum credit-risk exposure at the date of presentation of the information is the fair value of each one of the categories of accounts receivable indicated above.

Intangible assets with defined useful lives consist primarily of licensing and computer software, for which the Company has established useful lives of between 4 and 7 years.
 
The Company shows its intangible assets at cost, except for acquisitions by business combination, which are at fair value; and amortization is made on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
 
The amortization of each period is shown in the consolidated statement of results in administrative expenses. The accumulated amortization of computer programs as of June 30, 2011 amounts to ThUS$43,449 (ThUS$38,692 as of December 31, 2010). The accumulated amortization of other identifiable intangible assets as of June 30, 2011 amounts to ThUS$323 (ThUS$242 as of December 31, 2010).

The goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the fair value of the participation of the Company in the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary at the acquisition date. Goodwill at June 30, 2011 amounted to ThUS$164,717 (ThUS$157,994 at December 31, 2010).
 
At December 31, 2010, the Company performed an impairment test based on the value in use and no impairment was identified. The testing is done at least once a year.
 
The value in use of those cash generating units to which goodwill has been assigned has been determined assuming that yields, occupation factors and fleet capacity are maintained at current obtainable levels. The Company projects cash flows for the initial periods based on internal budgets and extrapolates the final value of these periods based on a growth factor consistent with the long-term economic projections in the markets in which the units operate. The determined cash flows are discounted at a rate which takes into account the time value of money and risks related to those cash generating units which have not been taken into account in estimation of the units’ future cash flows.
 
The movement of goodwill from January 01, 2010 to June 30, 2011, is as follows:

f)           Additional information regarding property, plant and equipment:
 
i)           Property, plant and equipment pledged as guarantee:
 
In the period ended June 30, 2011 direct guarantees were added for seven aircraft, four of them corresponding to the Airbus A320-200 fleet, and three to the Airbus A319-100 fleet. Additionally, during the first quarter 2011, the Company sold its participation in the permanent establishments Cernicalo Leasing LLC and Petrel Leasing LLC. Therefore, the Company eliminated direct guarantees associated with three aircraft Airbus A318-100 and three aircraft Boeing 767-300 (two freighter and one passenger aircrafts).

The amounts shown relate primarily to land support equipment, computer equipment and tools.

In December 2009, the Company signed a purchase commitment with Airbus for the purchase of another 30 aircraft of the A320 family with deliveries between 2011 and 2014. Additionally, in December 2010 the Company made another commitment to the manufacturer for the purchase of 50 new A320 family aircraft with deliveries between 2012 and 2016. Additionally, in June 2011, the Company signed a contract for 20 additional aircraft of the A320 NEO family.

 
-319-

 

With the above, as of June 30, 2011, and as a result of different aircraft purchase contracts signed with Airbus S.A.S., there remain 100 Airbus aircraft of the A320 family to be delivered between 2011 and 2018. The approximate amount is ThUS$7,780,000, according to the manufacturer’s price list.
 
Otherwise, purchase contracts were signed with The Boeing Company in February and May 2011 for another three and five B767-300 aircraft, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and as a result of different aircraft contracts signed with The Boeing Company, there remain 14 B767-300 aircraft to be delivered between 2011 and 2013, 2 B77-Freighter aircraft for delivery in 2012 and 26 B787 Dreamliner aircraft with delivery dates from 2012. The approximate amount is ThUS$7,630,000, according to the manufacturer’s price list. In addition, the Company has purchase options over 1 B777- Freighter aircraft and 15 B787 Dreamliner aircraft.
 
The acquisition of the aircraft is part of the strategic plan for the long-haul fleet. This plan also means the sale of 15 aircraft model Airbus A318 between 2011 and 2013. It is estimated that this sale will have no significant impact on results. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company sold the first 3 aircrafts, and it is planned for the remainder of the year to materialize the sale of two other aircrafts.

Covers investments denominated in Chilean pesos to changes in the U.S. Dollar - Chilean Peso exchange rate, with the aim of ensuring investment in dollars.
 
During the periods presented, the Company only maintains cash flow hedges. In the case of fuel hedges, future fuel purchases will occur and impact results from 1 to 9 months from the consolidated statement of financial position date, whereas in the case of interest rate hedging, they will occur and will impact results over the life of the related loans, which are valid for 12 years. Regarding coverage rate and currency, the impact on outcomes will occur continuously throughout the life of the contract (3 years), while cash flows will occur quarterly. Finally, the results will impact investment hedges steadily over the life of the investment (up to 3 months), while the cash flows occur at the maturity of the investment.
 
During the periods presented, all hedged highly probable forecast transactions have occurred.
 
During the periods presented, there has been no hedge ineffectiveness recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
 
Since none of the coverage resulted in the recognition of a non-financial asset, no portion of the result of the derivatives recognized in equity was transferred to the initial value of such assets.

European Commission Provision:
 
(a) This provision was established because of the investigation begun by the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission against more than 25 cargo airlines, including Lan Cargo S.A., as part of a global investigation begun in 2006 regarding possible unfair competition on the air cargo market. This was a joint investigation by the European and U.S.A. authorities. The start of the investigation was disclosed through a material event notice dated December 27, 2007. The U.S.A. portion of the global investigation concluded with respect to Lan Cargo S.A. and its subsidiary, Aerolíneas Brasileiras S.A. (“ABSA”) by the signature of a Plea Agreement with the U.S.A. Department of Justice, as disclosed in a material event notice on January 21, 2009.
 
(b) A significant matter report dated November 9, 2010, reported that the General Direction of Competition had issued its decision on this case (the “decision”), under which it imposed fines totaling € 799,445,000 (seven hundred and ninety nine million four hundred and forty-five thousand Euro) for infringement of European Union regulations on free competition against eleven (11) airlines, among which are Lan Airlines S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A., Air Canada, Air France, KLM, British Airways, Cargolux, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, Qantas Airways, SAS and Singapore Airlines.
 
(c) Jointly, Lan Airlines S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A., have been fined in the amount of € 8,220,000 (eight million two hundred twenty thousand Euro) for said infractions, which was provisioned in the financial statements of LAN. This is a minor fine in comparison to the original decision, as there was a significant reduction in the fine because LAN cooperated during the investigation.
 
(d) On January 24, 2011, Lan Airlines S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A. appealed the decision before the Court of Justice of the European Union. At December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the provision reached the amount of ThUS$10,916.

(d.1)        Currency translation reserve
 
These originate from exchange differences arising from the translation of any investment in foreign entities (or Chilean with a functional currency different to that of the parent), and from loans and other instruments in foreign currency designated as hedges for such investments. When the investment (all or part) is sold or disposed, and loss of control occurs, these reserves are shown in the consolidated statement of income as part of the loss or gain on the sale or disposal. If the sale does not involve loss of control, these reserves are transferred to non-controlling interests.
 
(d.2)        Cash flow hedging reserve
 
These originate from the fair value valuation at the end of each period of the outstanding derivative contracts that have been defined as cash-flow hedges. When these contracts expire, these reserves should be adjusted and the corresponding results recognized.

The compensation plans implemented through the granting of options to subscribe and pay for shares, which have been granted since the last quarter of 2007, are shown in the consolidated statements of financial position in accordance with IFRS 2 “Share-based payments,” booking the effect of the fair value of the options granted as a charge to remuneration on a straight-line basis between the date of granting the options and the date on which these become vested.
 
During the last quarter of 2009, the original terms of the plan were amended regarding subscription and payment options. These modifications were carried out during the first quarter of 2010 and established a new term and exercise price.
 
The original grant and subsequent amendments have been formalized through the signing of option contracts for the subscription of shares according to the proportions shown in the accrual schedule and which are related to the permanence of the executive on those dates for exercising the options:

TAM S.A.
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information - Unaudited
(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise indicated)

1.
General information
 
TAM S.A ("TAM" or the "Company") was incorporated on May 12, 1997, to invest in companies which carry out air transportation activities. The Company wholly owns TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. ("TLA"), a company that operates in the transportation of passengers and cargo in Brazil and on international routes, and also owns 94.98% of Transportes Aéreos del Mercosur S.A. ("TAM Airlines" or “Mercosur”), an airline headquartered in Asunción, Paraguay, which operates in Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Bolivia. TAM is incorporated and domiciled in Brazil and its registered office is in Av. Jurandir, 856, Lote 4, 1st floor, São Paulo, SP.
 
On July 15, 2005, the Company concluded a public offering of shares on the São Paulo Stock Exchange – BOVESPA. On March 10, 2006 the Company made an additional public offering – this time on the BM&F – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (BM&F Bovespa) and the New York Stock Exchange – NYSE  (in the form of American Depositary Shares – ADS), which was concluded on April 6, 2006.
 
The Company, through its subsidiary TLA, controls the companies TAM Capital Inc, (“TAM Capital”), TAM Capital Inc, 2 (“TAM Capital 2”), TAM Financial Services 1 Limited (“TAM Financial 1”) and  TAM Financial Services 2 Limited (“TAM Financial 2”) and as from May 2011 also TAM Capital Inc, 3 (“TAM Capital 3”) all headquartered in the Cayman Islands, whose main activities involve aircraft acquisition and financing and issuance of debt. Debt issued by these wholly-owned companies is wholly and unconditionally guaranteed by TAM. TLA also controls the company TAM Viagens e Turismo Ltda. (“Fidelidade”), whose corporate purpose is to carry out the activities of a travel and tourism agency, under the name TAM Viagens.
 
The Company controls TP Participações Ltda. which on July 20, 2009, changed its name to TP Franchising Ltda. (“TP Franchising”) and modified its corporate purpose to the development of franchises.
 
In the Extraordinary General Meeting (AGE) held on October 28, 2009, it was approved the change of the name of Q.X.S.P.E. Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. to Multiplus. Multiplus’s main activity is the development and management of customer loyalty programs. A public offering of shares of this subsidiary was concluded on February 5, 2010.
 
Since March 15, 2010, the date on which its purchase was approved, the Company controls Pantanal Linhas Aéreas S.A. – “Pantanal,” which was the date ANAC – the National Agency of Civil Aviation approved the purchase. Pantanal is currently under bankruptcy protection.
 
On July 13, 2010, TLA acquired TAM Milor which was the holder of the brand “TAM” and other related brands (“TAM” Brands) which are used by the Company, by TLA and other related companies. On March 1, 2011, the Company legally merged its subsidiary TAM Milor into the Company.
 
On January 18, 2011, the Company published a significant event, informing that TAM and LAN Airlines S.A. had signed two agreements named Implementation Agreement and Exchange Offer Agreement, regulating the final terms and conditions for the association contemplated in the Memorandum of Understanding entered into on August 13, 2010. The agreements define the new structure that will be formed by the association of the two companies for formation of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., as well as the form of corporate management that will coordinate this new structure. The completion of the proposed combination is subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the transaction agreements.
 
On March 29, 2011, the Company and TRIP Linhas Aéreas S/A. (“TRIP”) signed a Term Sheet, with no binding effect, in order to identify possible opportunities for strengthening and expanding their businesses through the development of a strategic alliance  complementary to the existing Codeshare Agreement. Pursuant to the Term Sheet signed, if and when binding documents are executed, and after meeting conditions precedents that may be mutually agreed (including the approval by the applicable authorities), TAM may ultimately acquire a non-controlling interest in TRIP representing 31% of its total capital comprised by 25% of its voting capital and the remaining interest through non-voting preferred shares.

On May 3, 2011, TLA incorporated TAM Capital 3 for the purpose of issuing US$500,000 8.375% senior guaranteed notes due 2021 as further described in Note 13.2.
 
This condensed consolidated interim financial information, of TAM and its subsidiaries was approved by the Board of Executive Officers on July 29,2011.
 
2.
Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
 
The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting.
 
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of this  condensed consolidated interim financial information  are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and have been applied consistently.The consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial  statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, which have been prepared in accordance with “International Financial Reporting Standards” (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
 
2.1.
Basis of consolidation and investments in subsidiaries
 
(a)
Consolidated financial information
 
(i)
Subsidiaries
 
The consolidated interim financial information includes the financial statements of TAM and its subsidiaries, including special purpose entities. Control is obtained when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, as a result of holding more than half of the voting rights. The existence and the effect of potential voting rights, currently exercisable or convertible, are taken into account to assess whether TAM controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated as from the date when control is transferred to TAM and are no longer consolidated as from the date when such control ceases.
 
The results of subsidiaries acquired during the year are included in the consolidated statements of income and of comprehensive income as from the actual acquisition date. The comprehensive income balance is attributable to the Company’s owners and to non-controlling interests, even if results in a negative balance of these interests. When necessary, the financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted to conform their accounting policies to those established by the Company. Intercompany transactions and balances and unrealized gains are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, although they are considered as an indicator of impairment of the transferred asset.
 
(ii)
Transactions and non-controlling interests
 
In the consolidated interim financial information, any changes in the Company’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in loss of the Company’s control over subsidiaries are recorded as capital transactions. The account balances of the Company’s interests and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect changes in their interests in subsidiaries. The difference between the fair value of consideration paid or received is recorded directly in equity and attributed to the Company's owners.
 
When the Company ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, and any change in the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for subsequent recognition of the retained interest in an associate, a joint venture or a financial asset. Also, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to that entity are recorded as if TAM  had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This means that the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

 
-390-

 

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and of equity of subsidiaries that is not held by TAM, and is recorded in a separate line item in the consolidated balance sheet.

2.2.         New and revised standards and interpretations and amendments to existing standards and interpretations
 
(a)           The following accounting standard is mandatory for the year beginning in January 2011 and have been applied by TAM:
 
·
IFRIC 13 - "Customer Loyalty Programmes". The meaning of “fair value” is clarified in the context of measurement of award credits in customer loyalty programmes effective January 1, 2011. The application of the clarified guidance did not result in any impact on the financial position and results of operations since the Company was measuring the fair value of its award credits.
 
·
IAS 34 ammendment effective January 1, 2011 provides guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in IAS 34 and add disclosure requirements around:
 
 
a)
The circumstances likely to affect fair values of financial instruments and their classification;
 
b)
Transfers of financial  instruments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy;
 
c)
Changes in classification of financial assets; and
 
d)
Changes in contingent liabilities and assets
 
The applicable additional disclosures are included in this interim financial information.
 
3.
Adjustments applied retroactively to prior period interim financial information
 
In the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company changed its accounting policy related to revaluation of flight equipment at revalued amounts, in order that the consolidated profit and equity are equal to those presented in the parent company’s individual financial statements since the Brazilian corporate law does not permit the revaluation of property, plant and equipment.

Financial instruments
 
4.1
Financial risk management
 
TAM's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks:  market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

 
-392-

 

The Company has a formal Risk Management Policy that defines the rules to be followed and authorizes the Treasury Department to enter into derivative transactions in order to reduce the impact that possible fluctuations in fuel prices and foreign exchange and interest rates may have on its cash flows. The management of risk is monitored by the Risk Committee that is, responsible for, among other matters:
 
·
Decide on any increase of the percentage level of protection based on strategic issues and monitor the comparison between the market and budgeted scenarios;
 
·
Manage and monitor the risk exposure;
 
·
Monitor compliance with the risk policy;
 
·
Decide on the exposure level of market risks;
 
·
Establish financial limits for all the institutions authorized to carry out derivative transactions; and
 
·
Monitor the performance of derivative transactions.
 
Derivatives are contracted in line with TAM's policies, considering liquidity, impact on cash flow and cost/benefit analysis of each position taken. The control over the use of derivatives includes ensuring that the rates in derivative contracts are compatible with market rates.
 
The Company does not enter into transactions involving financial instruments, including derivative instruments, for speculative purposes.
 
4.1.1
Market risks
 
The Company is exposed to market risks arising from its normal business activities. These market risks principally relate to changes in interest rates, exchange rates or aviation kerosene (QAV) and such variations can negatively affect its cash flows and future expenses. Market risk is the risk of a possible loss derived from variations in the prices of market prices (rates of exchange, interest rates, prices of commodities, or others) that may affect the Company’s cash flow or results. The Company entered into derivative contracts with the purpose of reducing the risks derived from variations in these factors. Policies and procedures have been implemented to evaluate these risks and to monitor the transactions with derivatives. The policies establish minimum and maximum levels of protection, and require that counterparties have investment grade credit rating as condition for entering into the transactions.
 
(a)
Risks relating to variations in the price of jet fuel
 
One of the most important financial risks of airlines is the volatility of fuel price. The QAV price is linked to the variation of the oil price in the international market. The Company has entered into derivative transactions in order to economically hedge itself against this risk. TAM's Risk Committee has established policies for achieving this. The policy establishes to carry out derivative transactions covering a maximum level of 60% of the fuel consumption projected for the following 24 months and minimum level of 20% of the consumption projected for the first 12 months and 10% for the subsequent twelve months. Swaps, options, or a combination of these instruments, using market prices for crude oil, heating oil or jet fuel as the underlying, may be used to achieve TAM’s aims.
 
TAM protects itself against the volatility in its kerosene price by using derivatives based mainly on crude oil (West Texas Intermediate or "WTI"). The choice of this underlying item was based on studies that indicate that the hedge of QAV based on WTI is, historically, highly effective, in addition to the high liquidity of the financial instruments referenced in WTI. At June 30, 2011 all contracted financial instruments are over the counter.
 
The Company enters into derivative transactions only with counterparties classified by the main risk rating agencies (Standard & Poors, Fitch and Moody’s) as at a minimum investment grade.

As the consumed volume of kerosene is not fully protected through derivatives, increases in the price of kerosene are not fully offset by the derivatives. In the same way, decreases in the price of kerosene will have positive impact for the Company, considering that they will not be fully offset by changes in the fair value of the derivatives.
 
The aviation fuel consumed in the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 accounted for 35.9% and 32.0%, respectively, of the cost of services provided by the Company (Note 22).

Restructuring of derivatives during 2011
 
On June 13, 2011 the Company made a new restructuring of its derivative transactions. The restructuring basically comprised (i) the spread of the maturity dates over a longer period, extending the term of derivatives, and (ii) reducing the exercise prices. With this action, the Company sought to extend the coverage period of derivatives financial instruments transactions.
 
The coverage profile was extended over 2011, 2012, 2013, including a small coverage for the first quarter of 2014. For the following 12 months, as from June 30, 2011 the coverage amounts to 30% of the anticipated consumption. The average strike for transactions currently outstanding maturing in the same period is US$93.77. For period beyond 12 months the coverage amounts to 15% of the anticipated consumption, with the average strike price of US$100.39 per barrel.
 
The derivative financial instruments used to hedge changes in fuel prices are accounted for at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the income statement. Restructured derivatives continue to be measured at fair value and, as a result, the impact of the restructuring has been recognized in gains and losses as part of the reassessment of the fair value of the derivatives.

A significant portion of the operating costs and expenses, such as aircraft and engine maintenance services, aircraft lease payments and aircraft insurance, are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company may enter into derivative contracts to protect against a possible appreciation or depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar.

In view of the restructuing of derivatives made in the first quarter of 2009 and in the second quarter of 2010, one of the counterparties required a deposit denominated in dollars as collateral guarantee. As deposits in foreign currency are not permitted in Brazil, a foreign exchange collar was entered into with the amount of the deposit as notional and also provided as collateral.
 
The collar transaction described above is the only foreign currency derivative outstanding at June 30, 2011.

The ratings can be expressed both in the global scale or in local currency. Each agency has a slightly different way to present rating. The table above unifies the presentations in what we believe is the most well known rating international scale.

The Company monitors the concentration of financial instruments on a single counterparty. Internal policies require reporting of excessive concentrations to the Risk Committee. At June 30, 2011 there was one counterparty that exceeded the limit established; however the Company believes this concentration of risk is acceptable.
 
(d)
Interest rate risk
 
TAM’s earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact these changes have on interest expense from variable-rate debt instruments, variable-rate lease contracts, and on interest income generated from its cash and short-term investment balances. To minimize possible impacts from interest rate fluctuations, TAM has adopted a policy of diversification, alternating between contracting fixed and variable rates (such as the London Interbank Offered Rate “LIBOR” and CDI - Certificate of Deposit Intermediate).
 
The Company does not have financial instruments to hedge its cash flows against fluctuations in interest rates.
 
(e)
Sensitivity analysis
 
Presented below is a sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments that demonstrates the impact of changes in financial instruments on the result and equity of the Company by considering:
 
·
Increase and decrease of 10 percent  in fuel prices, by keeping constant all the  other variables;
 
·
Increase and decrease of 10 percent in R$/US$exchange rate, with all other variables remaining steady; and
 
·
Increase and decrease of one percentage point in interest rate, by keeping constant all the other variables.
 
 
-396-

 

(e.1) TLA
 
Fuel price:
 
A hypothetical 10% increase/decrease in the price of WTI would lead to an increase/decrease of approximately US$41.2 million / US$ 45.7 million (equivalent to R$ 64.3 million / R$ 71.4 million at June 30, 2011) in the fair value of WTI derivatives. This increase/ decrease would directly affect the Company’s net income. In terms of cash flows, however, these changes in WTI price would be more than offset by a decrease/increase in the Company’s kerosene-type jet fuel costs. The cash payments for settling the derivatives are due at their respective maturities, distributed from 2011 through 2014.
 
Exchange rate – U.S. Dollar:
 
If there was a 10% depreciation/appreciation of the Brazilian Reais against the U.S. dollar and all other variables remained constant, the financial result would have been affected by approximately R$ 626 million / R$ 625 million, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on the translation of U.S. dollar denominated trade receivables and U.S. dollar denominated financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and foreign exchange losses/gains on the translation of U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings and finance leases.
 
Interest rate – LIBOR and CDI:
 
A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in foreign market (LIBOR) interest rates in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 would increase its aircraft rental and interest expense over a one year period by approximately US$ 26 million (equivalent to R$ 41 million).
 
A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in domestic market (CDI) interest rates in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 would increase loan and financing interest expenses over a one year period by approximately R$9 million.
 
(e.2) Multiplus
 
Exchange rate – U.S. Dollar (Derivatives):
 
If there was a 10% depreciation / appreciation of the Brazilian Reais against the U.S. dollar and all other variables remained constant, the financial result would have been affected by approximately R$22 million / R$21 million, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains / losses on the translation of foreign currency derivatives which are recorded at fair value through profit or loss.
 
4.1.2.
Credit risk
 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations, leading the Company to incur financial losses. Credit risk arises from the possibility of TAM not recovering amounts receivable from services provided to consumers and/or travel agencies, or from amounts held with financial institutions generated by financial investment operations.
 
To reduce credit risk, TAM has adopted the practice of establishing credit limits and the permanent follow-up of its debtor balances (mainly from travel agencies).
 
TAM only deals with financial institution counterparties which have a credit rating of at least BBB or equivalent issued by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. Each institution has a maximum limit for investments, as determined by the Company’s Risk Committee.
 
Currently, management does not expect losses due to default of its counterparties and does not have any individually significant exposure to any counterparty.

 
-397-

 

4.1.3.
Liquidity risk
 
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and short-term investments, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions.
 
Excess cash is invested mainly through TAM’s exclusive investment funds. Each of these funds has a clear investment policy, with limits on concentration of risk in the underlying investments.
 
The table below analyses TAM's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and include interest, except for derivatives, for which the fair value is disclosed.

Fair value estimation and fair value hierarchy
 
The Company discloses the fair value of financial instruments by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
 
·
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
·
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and
 
·
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). None of the financial instruments carried at fair value by the Company of its subsidiaries fall into this category at June 30, 2011.

No transfer of assets or liabilities between the levels of the fair value hierarchy took place during the period ended June 30, 2011 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
The financial instruments recognized at fair value are determined as follows:
 
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss:
 
·
(1) Brazilian Government securities – Corresponds to highly liquid Brazilian government securities that have prices available and correspond to transactions in an active market.
 
·
(2) Corporate securities – Correspond, typically, to debt securities for which fair value has been determined based upon actual transactions observed in organized markets (when available) or discounted cash flows using interest rates when actual transactions are not available.
 
·
(3) Certificates of deposit and other bank deposits - Fair value has been estimated by discounting estimated cash flows using market interest rates as inputs.
 
·
(4) Derivative financial instruments not traded in an exchange, for example, over-the-counter derivatives. TAM estimates its fair value using a series of techniques such as Black&Scholes, Garman & Kohlhagen, Monte Carlo or even discounted cash flow models commonly used in the financial market, depending on the nature of the derivative. All models used are widely accepted in the market and reflect the contractual terms of the derivative. Those models do not contain a high level of subjectivity, since the methodologies used in the models do not require significant judgment, and all inputs to the model are readily observable from actively quoted markets.

4.3.
Capital management
 
The objective of capital management is to ensure that TAM is able to continue as a going concern whilst delivering shareholder expectations of a strong capital basis as well as returning benefits to other stakeholders and optimizing the cost of capital.
 
Capital is managed by means of a leverage ratio. The Company’s capital structure is made up of its net indebtedness, defined as the total of loans, debentures and lease agreements (finance and operating), net of cash and cash equivalents and other short-term financial assets, and of the capital that is defined as the total net equity of shareholders and net indebtedness.
 
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
 
The leverage ratios are as follows:
 
   
June 30, 2011
   
December 31,
2010
 
             
Cash and cash equivalents (Note 6)
    (892,636 )     (1,012,220 )

(i)
IT projects in progress and computer software are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Expenditure for development of projects and software, including the costs of materials, third-parties’ worked hours and other direct costs, are recognized when it is probable that they will be successful, taking into account their commercial and technological feasibility, and only when their cost can be reliably measured. Such expenses are amortized on the straight-line method over the period of the expected benefits. The anticipated amortization period is five years, depending on the useful life of each project.

(ii)
Upon the acquisiton of Pantanal in March 2010, management has identified as a separable intangible the airport operation rights. The fair value was estimated at R$124,927 and the asset is considered to have an indefinite useful life.

(i)
TAM S.A.
 
On July 7, 2006 the Board of Directors approved the issuance for public distribution of simple, nonconvertible and unsecured debentures, with no preference but with a guarantee provided by the subsidiary TLA.
 
On August 1, 2006, TAM S.A. concluded the offering of 50,000 simple debentures in a single series, with a nominal value of R$ 10 each, totaling an amount of R$ 500,000, incurring debt issue costs of R$ 1,906. The debentures expire in six (6) years. Principal is repayable in 3 annual payments, the first installment was paid on August 1, 2010.
 
Interest is payable on a semiannual basis, at a rate equivalent to 104.5% of the CDI (effective interest rate at the date of issuance of 15.38%) calculated and published by CETIP (the custodian and liquidation agent). At June 30, 2011 the effective interest rate was 11.93% (12.31.2010 – 10.19%).
 
The debenture indenture provides for the compliance with certain covenants based on financial ratios calculated based on Brazilian accounting practices in effect up to 2007. With the application of the new accounting practices defined by IFRS, especially the one that requires the recognition in the Company's financial statements of finance lease agreements, the coverage ratio of the company's debt has increased. It should be noted that at December 31, 2010 this ratio has exceeded the limit agreed. As a result the debentures were subject to be declared matured early although this was not automatic and it required to be approved at a General Meeting of debenture holders.
 
At the debenture holders’ meeting on February 7, 2011, the issuer’s proposal for authorizing the trustee not to decree the accelerated maturity was approved, solely as of the measurement date of December 31, 2010. In connection with this waiver, the issuer agreed to pay a waiver award to debenture holders, equivalent to 1.70% of the unit price at the payment date, which was paid on March 1, 2011. As a result at December 31, 2010 the Company reclassified the long-term portion with maturity scheduled for 2012 to current, in the amount of R$ 166,376. Additionally, the Company evaluated its other financing agreements, including leases, and concluded that there are no other balances that should be reclassified to current liabilities. At June 30, 2011, the Company is not in breach of any covenant with respect to the debentures and the installment due on August 1, 2012 is classified under non current liabilities. The next measurement date of the financial indices will be at December 31, 2011.
 
(ii)
TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A.
 
On July 16, 2009 the Board of Directors approved the issuance for public distribution of simple and nonconvertible debentures, with a guarantee provided by TAM S.A.
 
On July 24, 2009 TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. concluded the offering of 600 simple debentures in a single series, with a nominal value of R$ 1,000 each for a total amount of R$ 600,000 and debt issue costs of R$ 7,631. On July 22, 2010 the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting approved the change in the maturity dates. The final maturity was changed from July 24, 2013 to July 24, 2017 the principal repayments were changed from quarterly payments to semi-annual payments with the date for the first repayment of principal originally due on July 24, 2010 to January 24, 2012. The cost of this renegotiation was R$ 3,000.

 
-415-

 
 
Payment of interest has been modified from monthly payments to semiannual payments, at a rate equivalent to 124% of the CDI (interest rate at the date of issuance of 13.25%), calculated and published by CETIP (the custodian and liquidation agent). The effective interest rate was 14.16% p.a at June 30, 2011 (12.31.2010 – 12.09%).
 
The Company may exercise early redemption at any time, at its discretion, by sending or publishing a notice to debenture holders 10 days in advance. The early redemption can be total or partial. The debentures subject to this procedure are mandatorily canceled. Management has concluded that the amount payable upon early redemption is approximately equal to the amortized cost of the debentures and, as such, the redemption option is considered clearly and closely related to the debentures.

The increase relates to the following tax assessments:

(a)
Administrative process (n. 10314.720023/2011-15) resulting from a tax asessment through which the tax inspector requires payment of Tax on Industrialized Products (Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados (IPI) on import of aircrafts from April 2006 through February 2009. The tax authorities claim that IPI exemption depends on certain requirements being met including proving that the entity is in full compliance with its tax obligations a requirement allegedly not met by TAM considering that for certain periods the following certicates allegedly were not presented:  Compliance Certificate of FGTS, Joint Certificate of Tax Debts and of Federal Outstanding Debits (either a certificate indicating non-existence of debt - negative - or a certificate indicating debts but with same effects of a negative certificate) in certain periods.

(b)
Administrative processes (AI 10314.720018/2011-75)  resulting from a tax asessment through which the tax inspector requires payment of Tax on Industrialized Products (Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados (IPI), payment of IPI on imports and COFINS on imports on the import of spare parts for aircrafts to be used for repais, checks and maintenance of aircrafts from June 2006 through July 2010. The tax authorities claim that IPI exemption and taxation at zero rate for IPI and COFINS on imports depends on certain requirements being met including proving that the entity is in full compliance with its tax obligations a requirement allegedly not met by TAM considering that for certain periods the following certicates allegedly were not presented:  Compliance Certificate of FGTS, Joint Certificate of Tax Debts and of Federal Outstanding Debits (either a certificate indicating non-existence of debt - negative - or a certificate indicating debts but with same effects of a negative certificate) in certain periods.

Those assesments amounted to R$ 819,270 of which R$ 770,652 corresponds to IPI on aircrafts. TAM has presented defense to the processes and tax advisors estimate that the probability of sucess is possible in both cases.

Under the terms of the Plan, the options granted are divided into three equal amounts and employees may exercise one third of their options after three, four and five years, respectively, if still employed by the Company at that time. The options have a contractual term of seven years.
 
The options contain a "service condition" as vesting and exercisability of the options depends only on the rendering of a defined period of services by the employee. Dismissed employees have the obligation to satisfy certain conditions in order to maintain their options rights. The options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Under the plan, options assigned for regular grants are divided into three equal parts and employees can exercise one third of their options of two, three and four years, respectively if they are still employed by the Company at that time. The contractual life of the options is seven years afer the grant of option. The 1st extraordinary grant was divided into two equal parts that can be exercised as follows:  half of the options after three years, and another half after four years. The 2nd extraordinary grant was also divided into two equal parts that can be exercised after one year and two years, respectively.
 
The options contain a "service condition" as vesting and exercisability of the options depends only on the rendering of a defined period of services by the employee. Dismissed employees have the obligation to satisfy certain conditions in order to maintain their options rights.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company fixed the exercise price of R$20.00 (twenty reais) per share, for the extraordinary grant related to the hiring of the current Chief Executive Officer of Multiplus and on June 30, 2011 approved the reduction in the exercise price by R$3.72 (three reais and seventy-two centavosper share, due to the reduction of the Company’s capital. The modification of the options granted as result of the reduction in the exercise price resulted in additional compensation. Considering that no options were vested as of June 30, 2011 the additional compensation will be recognized prospectively through the vestion period of the options.
 
The options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table shows details of the various option grants, together with the variables used in valuing the options granted. The exercise price is adjusted by the IGP-M (General Price Index), from the award grant date up to the exercise date:

27.          Commitments and contingencies
 
(a)           Operating lease commitments
 
TLA has obligations arising under operating lease contracts. The amounts of these commitments are not recorded in the financial statements. TLA has obligations arising from 69 aircraft under operating leases (12.31.2010 – 69 aircraft). These agreements have an average term of 97 months and are denominated in U.S. dollars with interest rates based on LIBOR. The lease expense, recognized in the consolidated statement of income in "Cost of services rendered,” for period ended June 30, 2011 was R$ 195,213 (June 30, 2010 – R$ 228,987), equivalent to approximately US$ 125,048 thousand (June 30, 2010 –US$ 127,109 thousand), respectively.
 
For most of the transactions, TAM has given letters of guarantee or deposits as a guarantee.

      1,030,145       1,120,697  

(b)           Commitments for future aircraft leases
 
(i)           Airbus
 
In 2005, the Company executed an amendment to an existing contract with Airbus for the firm order of 20 Airbus A320, the remaining nine of which are to be delivered in 2010, with an option for an additional 20 of the same aircraft family (including A319, A320 and A321). In 2006, the Company finalized a contract to acquire a further 37 Airbus aircraft (31 aircraft narrow body aircraft family A320 and six A330 aircraft), with the option for an additional 20, to be delivered in 2012 and 2013.
 
On June 28, 2007, the Company also executed a Memorandum of Understanding for the purchase of 22 Airbus A350XWB models 800 and 900, with ten more options, for delivery between 2013 and 2018.
 
Additionally, TLA confirmed the exercise of four options for Airbus A330, two delivered in the first half in 2010, and the other two to be delivered in 2011, related to the agreement signed at the end of 2006. TAM also confirmed the twenty options that had been postponed from 2005 to 2006 anticipated delivery before the end of 2014.
 
On June 8, 2010, TLA, announced the order of additional 20 brand-new Airbus A320 family aircraft and five A350-900, thus increasing the total number of orders for Airbus aircraft to 176 – including 134 aircraft of A320 family, 15 A330-200 and 27 A350 WXB. The objective of this order is to meet the plan of fleet already disclosed by the Company in the year 2009. In respect of the 20 orders from A320 family (A319, A320 and A321), ten shall be delivered in 2014 and the remaining ten in 2015.
 
(ii)          Boeing
 
In 2006, the Company ordered four Boeing 777-300ERs with options for four aircraft, which were converted to firm orders in 2007. Upon receipt of the four aircraft in 2008, the Company has signed an amendment to an existing contract for two more aircraft and has six firm orders outstanding contracted with Boeing for this type of aircraft, of which four are expected to be delivered in 2012 and two in 2013.

 
-437-

 

(iii)         Fleet renewal and expansion
 
On February 28, 2011, the Company announced the order of 32 aircraft from the Airbus A320 family and two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to prepare the Company to meet the expected growing demand for air travel. The combined value of these new orders, based on list prices, is approximately US$3.2 billion. Of the 32 aircraft ordered from Airbus, 22  are new model A320neo and ten are from the A320 Family. The aircraft are scheduled to be delivered between 2016 and 2018.
 
The two Boeing 777-300ERs are expected to be delivered in 2014. This order of two more aircraft brings the total number of aircraft ordered from the U.S. manufacturer to eight, including four aircraft to be delivered in 2012 and the two in 2013. Once all the aircraft are delivered, TAM will have 12 Boeing aircraft in TAM’s fleet.
 
(c)           Insurance
 
TAM maintains adequate insurance for risks which are expected to cover any liabilities generated by the accident on July 17, 2007, of an Airbus A320 aircraft, considering the agreements already made with and paid to the victims’ families by the insurance company. As of June 30, 2011, 193 (12.31.2010 – 192) compensation payments have been paid to families of the victims and others are under negotiation with the Company’s insurance firm. Management understands that the insurance coverage of these liabilities is adequate to cover all related costs. The Company believes that it will not incur additional or unexpected expenses outside the scope of the insurance agreement which would be TAM’s direct responsibility.
 
(d)           Contingent liabilities
 
Contingencies for which it is probable that TAM will be required to make payments are provided for and are discussed in Note 17.
 
(e)           Contingent assets
 
(i)           ICMS
 
On December 17, 2001 the Federal Supreme Court ruled that domestic and international air passenger transportation revenue, as well as international air cargo transportation revenue was no longer subject to ICMS.
 
However, based on this ruling, ICMS taxation on domestic air cargo transportation revenue is still due. At June 30, 2011, the provision maintained by the Company totaled R$ 3,273 (12.31.2010 – R$ 4,355), recorded in “Taxes, charges and contributions”.
 
We consider payments of ICMS made between 1989 and 1994 to be amounts paid in error because we believe it was unconstitutional to charge ICMS on air navigation services. TAM Linhas Aéreas has filed claims against various states in Brazil to claim the amounts paid in error. Rulings on these claims are pending. TAM’s policy is to only adjust the value of these claims for inflation at the time that payment is recorded in TAM’s financial statements.
 
(ii)          Indemnification for losses on regulated fares
 
We are plaintiffs in an action filed against the Brazilian government in 1993 seeking damages for breaking-up of the economic-financial equilibrium of an air transport concession agreement as a result of having to freeze TAM’s prices from 1988 to September 1993 in order to maintain operations with the prices set by the Brazilian government during that period. The process is currently being heard before the Federal Regional Court and we are awaiting judgment on appeals we have lodged requesting clarification of the initial decision (which we challenged). The estimated value of the action is based on a calculation made by an expert witness of the court. This sum is subject to interest accruing from September 1993 and inflation since November 1994. Based on the opinion of TAM’s legal advisors and recent rulings handed down by the Supreme Court of Justice in favor of airlines in similar cases (specifically, actions filed by Transbrasil and Varig) we believe that TAM’s chance of success is probable.

 
-438-

 

We have not recognized these amounts as receivable in these financial statements and will only do so when the decision is made final.
 
(iii)         Additional airport tariffs (“ATAERO”)
 
In 2001 TLA filed a claim addressing the legality of the additional airport tariffs (“ATAERO”), which represent an additional 50% on the tariff amount.
 
28.          Related parties
 
The company is controlled by the Amaro family which owns 89.42% of the Company's common shares and 24.67% of the Company's preferred shares. The remaining shares are widely held.
 
As of June 30, 2011 there no outstanding balances with related parties and they were no transactions with related parties for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable offer to exchange/prospectus supplement, Claro y Cia. will provide an opinion regarding the validity of the LAN common shares under Chilean law.
 
 
The consolidated financial statements of LAN and LAN management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (which is included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting) incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference to the 2010 LAN Form 20-F have been so incorporated in reliance on the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores, Auditores y Compañía Limitada, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
 
The consolidated financial statements of TAM and TAM management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (which is included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting) incorporated into this Registration Statement by reference to the 2010 TAM Form 20-F have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
 
 
LAN and Holdco II are Chilean corporations. None of LAN’s or Holdco II’s directors are residents of the United States, and most of their executive officers reside outside the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of LAN’s and Holdco II’s assets and the assets of these individuals are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to:
 
 
·
effect service of process outside Chile upon LAN and Holdco II or such persons; or
 
 
·
bring an original action against LAN or Holdco II or their directors and executive officers in the United States or Chile to enforce liabilities based upon the US federal securities laws.
 
It may also be difficult for you to enforce in Chilean courts judgments obtained in US court against LAN, Holdco II or their directors and executive officers or other persons named in the Registration Statement, of which this information statement and offer to exchange/prospectus is a part, based on civil liability provisions of the US federal securities laws. If a US court grants a final judgment in an action based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States, enforceability of this judgment in Chile will be subject to the obtaining of the relevant “exequatur” (i.e., recognition and enforcement of the foreign judgment) according to Chilean civil procedure law currently in force, and consequently, subject to the satisfaction of certain factors. The most important of these factors are the existence of reciprocity, the absence of a conflicting judgment by a Chilean court relating to the same parties and arising from the same facts and circumstances and the Chilean courts’ determination that the US courts had jurisdiction, that process was appropriately serviced on the defendant and that enforcement would not violate Chilean public policy.
 
In general, the enforceability in Chile of final judgments of US courts does not require retrial in Chile. If an action is started before Chilean courts, there is doubt as to the enforceability of liabilities based on the US federal securities laws. Chilean courts may enter and enforce judgments in foreign countries.

The Board of Directors
LAN Airlines S.A.


Members of the Board of Directors:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to LAN Airlines S.A. (the “Company”) of the Exchange Ratios (as defined below) in the proposed Mergers and Exchange Offer (each as defined below) pursuant to the Implementation Agreement and the Exchange Offer Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) to be entered into among the Company, TAM S.A. (“TAM”), Costa Verde Aeronáutica S.A., Inversiones Mineras del Cantábrico S.A., Noemy Almeida Oliveira Amaro, Maria Claudia Oliveira Amaro, Mauricio Amaro, Joao Francisco Amaro and TAM Emprendimentos e Participacoes S.A.

Pursuant to the Agreements, Noemy Almeida Oliveira Amaro, Maria Claudia Oliveira Amaro, Mauricio Amaro, and Joao Francisco Amaro (the “Amaro Family”), through a series of intermediate transactions involving certain holding companies controlled by the Amaro Family, will: (i) contribute all of the shares of ordinary stock, without par value, of TAM (the “TAM Ordinary Stock”) beneficially owned by the Amaro Family (which represents 85.3457% of the outstanding shares of TAM Ordinary Stock) to a newly created holding company (“Holdco 1”); (ii) contribute all of the shares of non-voting preferred stock, without par value, of TAM (the “TAM Preferred Stock” and, collectively with the TAM Ordinary Stock, the “TAM Stock”) beneficially owned by the Amaro Family,  no more than 20% of the voting stock, no par value, of Holdco 1 (the “Holdco 1 Voting Stock”) and 100% of the non-voting stock, no par value, of Holdco 1 (the “Holdco 1 Non-Voting Stock”) to another newly created holding company (“Sister Holdco”) in exchange for substantially all of the outstanding shares of Sister Holdco; and (iii) through another newly created holding company (“Holdco 2”), launch a delisting exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) for all the outstanding shares of TAM Stock other than the shares beneficially owned by the Amaro Family.  Also, pursuant to the Agreements, simultaneously with the consummation of the Exchange Offer, Holdco 2 and Sister Holdco will be merged with and into LAN (collectively, the “Mergers”).  Pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Mergers, LAN will (i) acquire no more than 20% of the Holdco 1 Voting Stock, 100% of the Holdco 1 Non-Voting Stock and substantially all of the remaining outstanding shares of the TAM Stock from the holders who elect to participate in the Exchange Offer in exchange for (ii) the issuance of shares of common stock, no par value, of LAN (the “Company Common Stock”) to such holders and to the Amaro Family at exchange ratios entitling the holder of shares of the TAM Stock to receive 0.90 shares (the “Exchange Ratios”) of the Company Common Stock for each share of the TAM Stock so exchanged.  The Holdco 1 Voting Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote on, approve or consent to all matters that are subject to any vote of, approval by or consent from the shareholders of Holdco 1 under applicable Chilean  law or otherwise,  and shall have no economic rights other than the right to receive a nominal dividend (the “Nominal Dividend”); and the Holdco 1 Non-Voting stock shall have the exclusive right to receive all dividends, distributions or other amounts payable by Holdco 1 in respect of any shares of its capital stock (other than the Nominal Dividend) and shall have no right to vote on, approve or consent on any matters that is subject to any vote of, approval by or consent from the shareholders of Holdco 1 under applicable Chilean  law or otherwise other than the right to vote on, approve or consent to matters requiring the approval of the holders of shares of Holdco 1 Non-Voting Stock under Chilean law or otherwise.  The Agreements further provide that, following completion of the Exchange Offer and Mergers, the Company shall, if permitted under applicable Brazilian law, effect a statutory squeeze out of any remaining holders of shares of TAM Stock (other than shares owned by TAM Emprendimentos e Participacoes S.A.).  The Exchange Offer and the Mergers, together and not separately, are referred to hereinafter as the “Transaction”.

In arriving at our opinion, we have:

 (i) reviewed a draft dated January 18, 2011 of each of the Agreements;

(ii) reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information concerning TAM and the Company and the industries in which they operate;

(iii) compared the proposed financial terms of the Transaction with the publicly available financial terms of certain transactions involving companies we deemed relevant and the consideration received for such companies;

(iv) compared the financial and operating performance of TAM and the Company with publicly available information concerning certain other companies we deemed relevant and reviewed the current and historical market prices and trading activity of the TAM Stock and the Company Common Stock and certain publicly traded securities of such other companies;

(v) reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by or at the direction of the managements of TAM and the Company relating to their respective businesses, as well as the estimated amount and timing of the cost savings and related expenses and certain strategic, financial and operational benefits expected to result from the Transaction (the “Synergies”); and
 
 
A-2

 

(vi) performed such other financial studies and analyses and considered such other information as we deemed appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

In addition, we have held discussions with certain members of the management of TAM and the Company with respect to certain aspects of the Transaction, and the past and current business operations of TAM and the Company, the financial condition and future prospects and operations of TAM and the Company, the effects of the Transaction on the financial condition and future prospects of the Company, and certain other matters we believed necessary or appropriate to our inquiry.

In giving our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all information that was publicly available or was furnished to or discussed with us by TAM and the Company or otherwise reviewed by or for us, and we have not independently verified (nor have we assumed responsibility or liability for independently verifying) any such information or its accuracy or completeness.  We have not conducted or been provided with any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor have we evaluated the solvency of TAM or the Company under any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In relying on financial analyses and forecasts provided to us or derived therefrom, including the Synergies, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments by management as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of TAM and the Company to which such analyses or forecasts relate.  You have also instructed us to assume that the Holdco 1 Voting Stock shall only have a nominal value.  We express no view as to such analyses or forecasts (including the Synergies) or the assumptions on which they were based.  We have also assumed that the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreements will qualify as a tax-free reorganization and exchange with respect to the Company and the holders of shares of the Company Common Stock  and will be consummated as described in the Agreements and that the definitive Agreements will not differ in any material respects from the draft thereof furnished to us.  We have also assumed that the representations and warranties made by the Company and TAM in the Agreements and the related agreements are and will be true and correct in all ways material to our analysis.   We are not legal, regulatory or tax experts and have relied on the assessments made by advisors to the Company with respect to such issues.   We have further assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on TAM or the Company or on the contemplated benefits of the Transaction.

Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof.  It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect this opinion and that we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm this opinion.  Our opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of the Exchange Ratios in the proposed Transaction and we express no opinion as to the fairness of the Transaction to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or as to the underlying decision by the Company to engage in the Transaction.  Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors, or employees of any party to the Transaction, or any class of such persons relative to the Exchange Ratios in the Transaction or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.  We are expressing no opinion herein as to the price at which the TAM Stock or the Company Common Stock will trade at any future time.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Company with respect to the proposed Transaction and will receive a fee from the Company for our services, a substantial portion of which will become payable only if the proposed Transaction is consummated.  In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. During the two years preceding the date of this letter, we and our affiliates have had commercial or investment banking relationships with the Company and TAM for which we and such affiliates have received customary compensation.  With respect to the Company, such services during such period have included acting as counterparty with respect to certain derivatives transactions and as lender with respect to a credit facility.  With respect to TAM, we have provided certain treasury services and solutions services and acted as depositary with respect to the ADRs issued by Tam on March 16,  2006.  In addition, we (through our affiliates) have a 0.095% equity ownership in the Company; a 1.033% equity ownership in TAM; and a 0.033% equity ownership in ADRs of  TAM.  In the ordinary course of our businesses, we and our affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities of the Company or TAM for our own account or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, we may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion as of the date hereof that the Exchange Ratios in the proposed Transaction are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

The issuance of this opinion has been approved by a fairness opinion committee of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. This letter is provided to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the Transaction.  This opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of the Company as to how such shareholder should vote with respect to the Transaction or any other matter.  This opinion may not be disclosed, referred to, or communicated (in whole or in part) to any third party for any purpose whatsoever except with our prior written approval.  This opinion may be reproduced in full in any proxy or information statement mailed to shareholders of the Company but may not otherwise be disclosed publicly in any manner without our prior written approval.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
Banco BTG Pactual S.A. ("BTG Pactual") has acted as financial advisor to TAM S.A. ("TAM") in connection with the proposed combination of LAN Airlines S.A. ("LAN") and TAM (the "Combination"), pursuant to the memorandum of understanding (the "MOU") dated as of August 13, 2010.  As set forth more fully in the MOU, subject to execution of definitive agreements, upon effectiveness of the Combination, each stockholder of TAM (each, a "TAM Stockholder") holding (i) TAM's common stock, with no par value ("TAM common stock"), (ii) TAM's preferred stock, with no par value ("TAM preferred stock"), or (iii) TAM's American Depositary Shares representing the shares of TAM's preferred stock ("TAM ADSs"), shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of LAN’s common stock, without par value ("LAN common stock"), equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of TAM common stock, TAM preferred stock or TAM ADSs owned by such TAM Stockholder and (B) 0.90 (the "Exchange Ratio", and such product, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares, being referred to as the "Consideration").  Each TAM Stockholder will receive LAN common stock in the form of either (i) American Depositary Shares representing LAN common shares (each of which represents one LAN common share) or (ii) Brazilian Depositary Shares representing LAN common shares (each of which represents one LAN common share).
 
The Board of Directors of TAM (the “Board”) has requested BTG Pactual's opinion, as investment bankers, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to TAM of the Consideration.
 
In connection with BTG Pactual's role as financial advisor to TAM and the Board, and in arriving at its opinion, BTG Pactual has reviewed certain publicly available financial and other information concerning LAN and TAM, including the financial statements available as of June 30, 2010 and the market prices and financial projections available up to the date of August 12, 2010 (the day prior to the announcement of the Combination) and certain internal analyses, financial forecasts and other information furnished to it by LAN and TAM.  BTG Pactual has also held discussions with representatives of LAN and TAM regarding the businesses and prospects of their respective companies and the joint prospects of a combined company following consummation of the Combination.  In addition, BTG Pactual has (i) compared certain financial information for LAN and TAM with similar information for certain other companies BTG Pactual considered relevant whose securities are publicly traded, (ii) reviewed the financial terms of certain recent acquisitions and dispositions which it deemed relevant in whole or in part, (iii) reviewed the terms of the MOU and certain related documents, and (iv) performed such other studies and analyses and considered such other factors as it deemed appropriate.
 
 
 

 
 
BTG Pactual has not assumed responsibility for independent verification of, and has not independently verified, any information, whether publicly available or furnished to it, concerning LAN or TAM, including, without limitation, any financial information, forecasts or projections, considered in connection with the rendering of its opinion.  Accordingly, for purposes of its opinion, BTG Pactual has, with your permission, assumed and relied upon the accuracy, content, truthfulness, completeness, sufficiency and integrity of all such information.  BTG Pactual does not express an opinion as to the reliability of this information, whether publicly available or furnished to it, and any errors, alterations or modifications to such information could significantly affect BTG Pactual's opinion.  BTG Pactual has not conducted a physical inspection of any of the assets or properties, and has not prepared or obtained any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance sheet assets and liabilities) of LAN or TAM, nor has BTG Pactual evaluated the solvency or fair value of LAN or TAM under any state or federal law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.  With respect to the financial forecasts and projections made available to BTG Pactual and used in its analyses, BTG Pactual has assumed with your permission that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of representatives of LAN or TAM, as the case may be, as to the matters covered thereby.  In rendering its opinion, BTG Pactual expresses no view as to the reasonableness of such forecasts and projections, or the assumptions on which they are based.  BTG Pactual's opinion is necessarily based upon economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date hereof.
 
For purposes of rendering its opinion, BTG Pactual has assumed with your permission that, in all respects material to its analysis, the representations and warranties of LAN and TAM contained in the MOU are true and correct, LAN and TAM will each perform all of the covenants and agreements to be performed by it under the MOU and all conditions to the obligations of each party to the MOU to consummate the Combination will be satisfied without any waiver thereof.  BTG Pactual has also assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required in connection with the consummation of the Combination will be obtained and that in connection with obtaining any necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers to any agreements, instruments or orders to which either LAN or TAM is a party or is subject or by which it is bound, no limitations, restrictions or conditions will be imposed or amendments, modifications or waivers made that would have a material adverse effect on LAN or TAM or materially reduce the contemplated benefits of the Combination to TAM.  Representatives of TAM and the Board have informed BTG Pactual, and BTG Pactual has further assumed, that the final terms of the definitive agreements in relation to the Combination will not differ materially from the terms set forth in the MOU.
 
This opinion is addressed to, and for the use and benefit of, the Board and is not a recommendation to the TAM Stockholders to approve the Combination.  BTG Pactual expresses no opinion as to the merits of the underlying decision by TAM to engage in the Combination.  This opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to TAM of the Consideration, and is subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other conditions contained herein.
 
 
B-2

 
 
You have not asked BTG Pactual to, and this opinion does not, address the fairness of the Combination, or any consideration received in connection therewith, to the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of TAM, nor does it address the fairness of the contemplated benefits of the Combination.  BTG Pactual expresses no opinion as to the merits of the underlying decision by TAM to engage in the Combination or the relative merits of the Combination as compared to alternative business strategies, nor does it express any opinion as to how any TAM stockholders should vote on any matter.  In addition, BTG Pactual does not express any view or opinion as to the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount or nature of any compensation payable to or to be received by any of the officers, directors, or employees of any parties to the Combination, or any class of such persons, in connection with the Combination and any related transactions relative to the Combination consideration to be received by TAM.
 
BTG Pactual was not requested to, and BTG Pactual did not, consider, and its opinion does not address, the relative merits of the Combination as compared to any alternative business strategies.
 
This opinion must not be considered to be a promise or guarantee as to the future performance of LAN, TAM or LATAM.  Moreover, this opinion is not intended to be the sole basis for the valuation of LAN and TAM, nor does it represent or constitute a proposal, solicitation, suggestion or recommendation by BTG Pactual for approval of the Combination.  The decision to approve the Combination is the responsibility of TAM Stockholders and BTG Pactual does not assume any responsibility for any decision made by the TAM Stockholders.  The TAM Stockholders should conduct their own analyses as to the appropriateness of approving the Combination and should consult their own tax and legal advisors, independently, to form their own opinions on the Combination.
 
BTG Pactual will be paid a transaction fee for its services as financial advisor to TAM in connection with the Combination, all of which is contingent upon consummation of the Combination.  However, if the Combination is not consummated due to certain events, including either LAN or TAM terminating or abandoning the Combination, then TAM has agreed to pay 20.8% of the transaction fee to BTG Pactual.  Regardless of whether the Combination is consummated, TAM has agreed to reimburse BTG Pactual for reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of BTG Pactual's counsel and all of BTG Pactual's reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Combination or otherwise arising out of the engagement of BTG Pactual under the engagement letter.  TAM has also agreed to indemnify BTG Pactual and certain related persons to the fullest extent lawful against certain liabilities, arising out of its engagement or the Combination.
 
During the two years preceding the date of this opinion, BTG Pactual and its affiliates (together, the "BTG Pactual Group") has had commercial or banking relationships with TAM for which it has received customary compensation.  With respect to TAM, such services during such period have included acting as underwriter with respect to offerings of debt and equity securities issued by a TAM affiliate, as well as stabilizing agent in connection with a prior equity offering, acting as market maker for both TAM and a TAM affiliate, acting as counterparty with respect to certain derivatives transaction, as a lender with respect to credit facilities, acting as counterparty with respect to certain fixed income investments and as intermediary with respect to the trading of public securities. Further, Mr. André Santos Esteves, a member of the board of directors of TAM, is also the chief executive officer of BTG Pactual, and Mr. Carlos Daniel Rizzo da Fonseca, a senior executive of BTG Pactual and head of the Merchant Banking Division of BTG Pactual, serves on the board of directors of a TAM affiliate.  BTG Pactual Group may provide investment and commercial banking services to LAN, TAM or LATAM and their respective affiliates in the future, for which the BTG Pactual Group would expect to receive compensation.  In the ordinary course of its business, members of the BTG Pactual Group may actively trade in the securities and other instruments and obligations of LAN, TAM or LATAM for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers.  Accordingly, the BTG Pactual Group may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities, instruments and obligations.
 
 
B-3

 
 
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is BTG Pactual's opinion as investment bankers that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to TAM.
 
This letter is provided to the Board in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the Combination.  This opinion may not be circulated, copied, published or used in any manner, nor can it be filed, included or referred to in whole or in part in any document to any other person for any other purpose whatsoever except with the prior written consent of BTG Pactual.

SECTION 8.05.    Indemnification.
 
(a)           Indemnification by LAN.  LAN shall indemnify and defend and hold the TAM Direct Controlling Shareholder, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and shareholders (collectively, the “TEP Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all any damages, losses, charges, liabilities, claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, payments, judgments, settlements, assessments, deficiencies, taxes, interest, penalties, and costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursement) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by any TEP Indemnified Party (whether or not involving a claim by any Person other than a party hereto or an Affiliate of such a party (each, a “Third Party ”) arising out of or resulting from (i) the failure of the Exchange Offer to be consummated solely as a result of any failure by LAN to confirm in the LAN Condition Notice that any condition to the consummation of the Exchange Offer set forth in Section 7.03 (other than the Minimum Tender Condition) was satisfied if (but only if) such condition was in fact satisfied or (ii) any failure of the Exchange Offer to be consummated after the Amaro Family has paid for the TEP Chile Subscription as required by Section 5.04(b).

-71-

 

(c)           Third Party Claims.  If any claim or action by a Third Party is made in writing against a TEP Indemnified Party or a LAN Indemnified Party (each, an Indemnified Party) for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement and such Indemnified Party intends to seek such indemnity, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification may be sought hereunder (theIndemnifying Party) in writing of such claim or action; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Party to give such notice promptly will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.  In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein or, at its election, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any claim of a Third Party to the extent (a) the claim relates to any actual or alleged criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (b) seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (c) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend such claim.  After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8.05 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless the representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel provided by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, including situations in which there are one or more material legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Indemnifying Party shall not at any time, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate set of counsel for all Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to their regular counsel, is reasonably required in order to effectively defend against such action.  No indemnification shall be available in respect of any settlement of any action or claim effected by an Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a third-party claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise or discharge such claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent unless such settlement, compromise or discharge irrevocably releases the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim and does not impose any injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party.

SECTION 1.16.       Directors.  As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, LAN and the Amaro Family shall discuss in good faith and agree upon the individuals who shall be directors of LAN, Holdco 1, TAM and their Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time.  The parties shall take all necessary action to ensure that immediately following, and on the same day as, the Effective Time, the individuals selected for election to the board of directors of LAN, Holdco 1, TAM and their Subsidiaries by each of LAN and TEP Chile pursuant to the Holdco 1 Shareholders Agreement, by each of LAN and TEP Chile pursuant to the TAM Shareholders Agreement and by each of the LAN Controlling Shareholders and TEP Chile pursuant to the Control Group Shareholders Agreement shall be the directors of LAN, Holdco 1, TAM and their Subsidiaries; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing if any such individual is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity, then he or she shall be replaced, directly or indirectly, by LAN, the LAN Controlling Shareholders or TEP Chile, as the case may be, if it is entitled pursuant to the Holdco 1 Shareholders Agreement, the TAM Shareholders Agreement and/or the Control Group Shareholders Agreement to elect or select for election, as applicable, to the relevant board of directors the individual who was so unwilling or unable to serve.
 
SECTION 1.17.       Statutory Squeeze Out.  After the consummation of the Exchange Offer, if it is permitted to do so under the applicable Law of Brazil (“Brazilian Law”), LAN (as the surviving corporation of the Holdco 2 Merger) shall effect a statutory squeeze out of any holders of shares of TAM Stock (other than the TEP Shares) that did not accept the Exchange Offer (the “Non-Tendered Shares”).  In this statutory squeeze out, the holders of Non-Tendered Shares shall have the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of LAN Common Stock that it would have received pursuant to the Exchange Offer in respect of such Non-Tendered Shares (assuming it could have received fractional Exchange Offer Equivalent Shares) (as to each such holder, its “Exchange Offer Equivalent Shares”) and (ii) the closing price of the LAN Common Stock on the Santiago Stock Exchange (“SSE”) on the day on which the Exchange Offer is consummated. After the squeeze out of all of the remaining shares of TAM Ordinary Stock, LAN will increase its ownership percentage of the outstanding shares of Holdco 1 Voting Stock to 20% by converting shares of Holdco 1 Non-Voting Stock into shares of Holdco 1 Voting Stock.

(a)           Conversion of Holdco 2 Stock.  Each share of Holdco 2 Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be issued and outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired, shall cease to exist and shall be converted into the right to receive a fraction of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of LAN Common Stock equal to the Holdco 2 Exchange Ratio.

SECTION 2.05.       Fractional Shares.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of LAN Common Stock shall be issued in the Mergers or pursuant to the statutory squeeze out and such fractional shares will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of LAN.  In lieu of such fractional shares, LAN shall pay each holder thereof an amount in cash in U.S. Dollars equal to the product of (a) the fractional shares of LAN Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled after taking into account all shares of Holdco 2 Stock or Sister Holdco Stock owned of record by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively as to each record holder, its “Eligible Shares”) and (b) the closing price of the shares of LAN Common Stock on the SSE on the last trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (as reported in www.bolsadesantiago.com or, if not reported therein, by another authoritative source).

ARTICLE II
 
GOVERNANCE
 
SECTION 2.01                     Composition of the LATAM Board.  (a) The LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP each agree to exercise or cause to be exercised all voting rights in respect of all shares of LATAM Common Stock beneficially owned by it (as to each Shareholder at any time, its “Subject Shares”), and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the LATAM Controlling Shareholder Directors (in the case of the LATAM Controlling Shareholders) or the TEP Directors (in the case of TEP) to take all actions within their power that are necessary or appropriate to:
 
(i)           in the case of TEP, assist in the removal and replacement of the directors elected to the board of directors of LATAM (the “LATAM Board”) by the LATAM Controlling Shareholders through the vote of their Subject Shares (the “LATAM Controlling Shareholder Directors”);
 
(ii)           in the case of the LATAM Controlling Shareholders, assist in the removal and replacement of the director(s) elected to the LATAM Board by TEP through the vote of its Subject Shares and, if applicable, the director elected to the LATAM Board by the vote of the LATAM Controlling Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.01(b) (the “TEP Directors”);

SECTION 2.02                     Meetings of the LATAM Board.  Prior to each meeting of the LATAM Board, the LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP shall convene a meeting (each, a “Board Pre-Meeting”) to consult with each other and use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on all matters to come before the LATAM Board at such meeting (including the matters set forth in Article 56 of the Chilean Corporations Act (the “Chilean Corporate Law”)  No. 18.046) other than any action that would require the approval of two-thirds of the shareholders of LATAM under Article 67 of the Chilean Corporate Law (each, a “Supermajority Action”) and shall record their agreement, if any, on each such matter in the minutes of such Board Pre-Meeting.  Unless otherwise agreed between the LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP, each Board Pre-Meeting shall be held on the third business day prior to any regular meeting of the LATAM Board and on the business day prior to any special meeting of the LATAM Board.  If the LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP cannot reach agreement on any such matter prior to such meeting of the LATAM Board, then such matter shall be resolved by the LATAM Board at such meeting.  Nothing in this Section 2.02 shall be construed to prevent the LATAM Controlling Shareholder Directors or the TEP Directors from participating in any meeting of the LATAM Board or voting or participating in any such meeting.

The LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP shall not vote on or take any action, and shall instruct the LATAM Controlling Shareholder Directors, in the case of the LATAM Controlling Shareholders, and the TEP Directors, in the case of TEP, not to vote on or take any action, in respect of any Supermajority Action except in compliance with this Section 2.04.  With respect to any proposed Supermajority Action, each of the LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP shall consult with each other, shall give due consideration to all views expressed by the other with respect to such Supermajority Action and shall use their good faith efforts to agree upon whether or not to approve any such Supermajority Action.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP cannot reach an agreement with respect to such Supermajority Action, then the LATAM Controlling Shareholders, on the one hand, and TEP, on the other hand, will each appoint a senior representative thereof who will negotiate in good faith with the senior representative appointed by the other for a period of 30 days, which initial period may be extended for one additional 30-day period by either the LATAM Controlling Shareholders or TEP by delivering a written notice to the other (such period, as it may be extended or shortened pursuant to this Section 2.04 or by mutual agreement of the Shareholders, the “Mediation Period”).  If a special meeting of the shareholders of LATAM has been called to vote on a Supermajority Action other than as a result of any action by a Shareholder or any LATAM Controlling Shareholder Director or TEP Director, the LATAM Controlling Shareholders shall cause the LATAM Controlling Shareholder Directors, and TEP shall cause the TEP Directors, to try to convince the LATAM Board to call such meeting of shareholders of LATAM so that there will be sufficient time for a thirty-day Mediation Period prior to such shareholders meeting unless such directors’ fiduciary duties require that such shareholders meeting be held earlier.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a special meeting of the shareholders of LATAM has been called to vote on a Supermajority Action other than as a result of any action by a Shareholder or any LATAM Controlling Shareholder Director or TEP Director and such special meeting will occur prior to the date when the Mediation Period would otherwise end, then the Mediation Period shall end on the second business day prior to the date on which such special meeting will be held.  During the Mediation Period the senior representatives selected by the LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP shall meet with a mediator jointly selected by them, together with any relevant experts and advisors that they agree to retain and include in the mediation process, in an attempt to resolve their disagreement with respect to such Supermajority Action.  The fees and expenses of each mediator, expert or advisor shall be shared equally between the LATAM Controlling Shareholders, on the one hand, and TEP, on the other hand.  Each senior representative shall give due consideration to the positions, views and arguments of the other senior representative and shall negotiate in good faith with the other senior representative in an attempt to reach a mutually acceptable position or alternative with respect to such Supermajority Action.  If the Shareholders’ disagreement with respect to such Supermajority Action remains unresolved after the Mediation Period, then each of the LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP will vote or cause to be voted all of their Subject Shares with respect to such Supermajority Action as directed by the LATAM Controlling Shareholders to TEP in writing prior to the relevant shareholder meeting (each, a “LATAM Controlling Shareholder Directed Action”).  The LATAM Controlling Shareholders will vote or cause to be voted all of their Subject Shares to approve, and will cause the LATAM Controlling Shareholder Directors to approve and implement, and TEP will vote or cause to be voted all of its Subject Shares to approve, and will cause the TEP Directors to approve and implement, each Supermajority Action that has been approved by agreement of the LATAM Controlling Shareholders and TEP or, in the case of a LATAM Controlling Shareholder Directed Action, as directed by the LATAM Controlling Shareholders.  Unless otherwise agreed between the Shareholders, no Shareholder will vote or cause to be voted any of its Subject Shares to approve any amendment to the By-laws that would require any action, other than any Supermajority Action, to be approved by the holders of shares constituting more than a simple majority of the issued and outstanding shares of LATAM Common Stock at a duly called meeting of the shareholders of LATAM at which a quorum is present and acting throughout.

SECTION 3.05                     Right of First Offer.
 
(a)           If a Shareholder elects to sell or transfer all or any portion of its shares of Restricted Common Stock as permitted by the applicable provisions of Section 3.02 or 3.03, such sale or transfer (and, in the case of a sale or transfer pursuant to Section 3.02(c)(i), Section 3.02(d) or Section 3.02(e) (each, a “Whole Block Sale”), the related sale or transfer of shares of Holdco 1 Voting Stock) shall be subject to the right of first offer provided in this Section 3.05 except to the extent that Section 3.02 or 3.03 expressly provides that such right of first offer shall not apply to such sale or transfer.  Unless the context otherwise requires, each Shareholder and its Affiliates shall be deemed to be a single Shareholder for purposes of this Section 3.05.  The Shareholder electing to make any such sale or transfer (the “Selling Shareholder”) shall give written notice thereof (each, an “Offer Notice”) to the other Shareholder (the “Non-Selling Shareholder”), which notice shall set forth the number of shares of Restricted Common Stock (and, if applicable, shares of Holdco 1 Voting Stock) proposed to be sold or transferred (collectively, the “Subject Securities”), a single price in cash that Selling Shareholder is willing to accept for the Subject Securities (the “Proposed Purchase Price,” of which an amount equal to the Non-Selling Shareholder’s then current tax basis in such shares and any costs that it is required to incur to effect such sale shall be allocated to any Holdco 1 Voting Stock included in the Subject Securities) and any other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale or transfer.  The Non-Selling Shareholder shall have the right to purchase the Subject Securities at the Proposed Purchase Price and on the other terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice (“ROFO Right”).  The Non-Selling Shareholder may exercise its ROFO Right in whole but not in part by delivering written notice of such election (each, an “Acceptance Notice”) to the Selling Shareholder within 30 days after the date on which it received the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”).  If the Non-Selling Shareholder does not deliver an Acceptance Notice to the Selling Shareholder by the end of the Offer Period, it will no longer be able to exercise its ROFO Right with respect to the Subject Securities.  For all sales or transfers pursuant to Section 3.02 (other than Sections 3.02(a) and (b)), the Non-Selling Shareholder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assign its ROFO Rights in whole or in part to any Person; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Whole Block Sale the LATAM Controlling Shareholders may only assign its ROFO Rights to a Person approved in advance by the LATAM Board and whose purchase would not have an Adverse Effect.  If the Non-Selling Shareholder elects to assign any ROFO Right pursuant to this Section 3.05(a) to any Person, then the Non-Selling Shareholder shall describe such assignment in its Acceptance Notice, including the identity of the assignee and the Subject Securities that are the subject of the assignment, and the Selling Shareholder shall sell or transfer such Subject Securities to such assignee in lieu of the Non-Selling Shareholder.
 
 
11

 
 
(b)           If the Non-Selling Shareholder (i) does not deliver an Acceptance Notice during the Offer Period or (ii) delivers an Acceptance Notice during the Offer Period in which it (and/or any assignee) elects to purchase less than all of the Subject Securities, then the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to market and sell all of the Subject Securities to a third party for an all-cash purchase price no less than the Proposed Purchase Price and on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchaser than those contained in the Offer Notice during the 90-day period commencing on the day immediately following, in the case of clause (i), the last day of the Offer Period or, in the case of clause (ii), the date on which such Acceptance Notice was delivered (such period, the “Sale Period”).  If the Subject Securities are not sold during the Sale Period or if Selling Shareholder seeks to reduce the sale price below the Proposed Purchase Price or to offer other sale terms and conditions that are more favorable to the purchaser than those contained in the Offer Notice, all of the provisions of this Section 3.05 shall again apply with respect to any sale or transfer of such Subject Securities.
 
(c)           If the Non-Selling Shareholder delivers an Acceptance Notice to the Selling Shareholder during the Offer Period in which it (and/or any assignee) elects to purchase all of the Subject Securities, then there shall be deemed a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement between the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Non-Selling Shareholder (and/or any such assignee) (each, a “Purchaser”), on the other hand, for the sale or transfer of the Subject Securities for the Proposed Purchase Price and on the other terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice.  The closing of any such sale or transfer shall take place at 10 a.m., New York time, on the later of (A) the 30th business day after the day on which such Acceptance Notice was received by Selling Shareholder and (B) the first date on which all of the consents, approvals or authorizations required by Law from any Governmental Entity for such sale or transfer are obtained at the principal office of LATAM or on such other date or at such other place as may be agreed to between the Selling Shareholder and the Purchaser(s), and the following provisions shall apply:
 
 
12

 

(i)           the Selling Shareholder shall execute such instruments of transfer as are customarily executed and reasonably requested to evidence and consummate the sale or transfer of the Subject Securities to each Purchaser; and
 
(ii)          each party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses in connection with such sale or transfer.
 
SECTION 3.06                   Additional Requirements.  Each Shareholder agrees that it will not Transfer any of its Restricted Shares if such Transfer would violate any applicable Law (each, a “Prohibited Transfer”).  If and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, LATAM and Holdco 1, as applicable, may refuse to register any Prohibited Transfer, and each Shareholder hereby waives any rights it may have in the future to object to or challenge any such refusal in respect of any Transfer that is determined to be a Prohibited Transfer by a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
SECTION 3.07                   Assignment of Rights.   Any transferee of Restricted Shares Transferred pursuant to Sections 3.02(c), (d) or (e) or Section 3.04 shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof.  Except for Affiliate Transfers made pursuant to Section 3.04 or as otherwise contemplated in this Article III, no Shareholder shall have the right to assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any permitted transferee of such Shareholder’s Restricted Shares.

WITNESSETH
 
WHEREAS, as of the Effective Time (as defined below),  Holdco 1 will own 100% of the shares of ordinary stock, no par value (the “TAM Ordinary Stock”), of TAM and LATAM will own 100% of the shares of the non-voting preferred stock, no par value (the “TAM Preferred Stock” and, together with the TAM Ordinary Stock, the “TAM Stock”), of TAM, which collectively will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of TAM;
 
WHEREAS, as of the Effective Time, TEP and LATAM collectively will own 100% of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco 1;
 
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions upon which they have agreed to hold their shares of TAM Stock, including with respect to the voting thereof, as well as their agreements with respect to governance, management and operation of TAM and its Subsidiaries and certain other matters; and

SECTION 1.02   Role and Composition of the TAM Board.  The business and affairs of TAM shall be managed under the direction of the board of directors of TAM (the “TAM Board”) in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Organizational Documents of TAM.  The TAM Board shall be comprised of six board members to be elected by Holdco 1. Holdco 1 agrees to elect two individuals selected by LATAM and four individuals selected by TEP as the six board members of TAM (each person so selected by LATAM or TEP is referred to herein as one of their “Board Representatives”).  The term of office for the board members of TAM shall be two years.  If at any time LATAM is permitted under applicable Law to select more than two Board Representatives on the TAM Board, then LATAM shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, to cause Holdco 1 to elect additional Board Representatives to the TAM Board by providing written notice of such election to Holdco 1 (each, a “Board Representative Election Notice”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing LATAM shall not have the right to deliver any Board Representative Election Notice that would result in it selecting half or a majority of the members of the TAM Board unless at such time LATAM is permitted under applicable Law in Brazil and other applicable Law to own a majority of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco 1.  Promptly following delivery of any Board Representative Election Notice to Holdco 1, Holdco 1 shall cooperate with LATAM and shall take or cause to be taken all actions (including by calling a special meeting of shareholders of TAM to elect the additional individuals selected by LATAM for election to the TAM Board), and do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under the other Organizational Documents of TAM and applicable Law to permit LATAM to increase its representation on the TAM Board pursuant to this Section 1.02.  Without limitation of the foregoing, Holdco 1 agrees to cause one or more of TEP’s Board Representatives to resign from the TAM Board promptly following request therefor from LATAM in order to effectuate the purpose of this Section 1.02.

SECTION 1.03   Removal and Vacancies.  In the event of any vacancy on the TAM Board resulting from the resignation, incapacity, retirement, death or removal (each, a “Departure”) of any Board Representative of LATAM or TEP, such party shall have the right to select another individual to replace such Board Representative on the TAM Board.  In such event, Holdco 1 shall cause a special meeting of the shareholders of TAM to be held to elect such replacement to the TAM Board and at such meeting shall elect such replacement to the TAM Board to serve until the next annual meeting of the shareholders of TAM.  If at any time any Board Representative of LATAM or TEP ceases to be a board member of Holdco 1, Holdco 1 shall promptly cause him or her to resign or to be removed from the TAM Board and Holdco 1 will replace such Board Representative on the TAM Board pursuant to the foregoing procedures.
