Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to Schedule 13D relates to LATAM’s Common Stock and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on January 6, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed on September 7, 2021 and Amendment No. 2 thereto, filed on December 13, 2021 (“Amendment No. 2” and the Schedule 13D as so amended through Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the last paragraph of item 4 of Amendment No. 2 and inserting the following language in its place:

 

“On January 12, 2022, the Reporting Person, Costa Verde Aeronáutica S.A. (“Costa Verde”), and Qatar (collectively, the “Facilitating Shareholders”) entered into a commitment agreement with LATAM and the other Debtors (as may be amended, modified, or supplemented, the “BCA”), setting forth the terms by which each Facilitating Shareholder, severally and not jointly, will participate in the rights offering for the common stock rights offering and/or a tranche of unsecured notes convertible into shares of reorganized LATAM equity in connection with the Company Plan and in furtherance of the terms of the RSA. The Reporting Person estimates that its ownership interest in LATAM following the transaction will be no more than 10%, substantially lower than it is today.  Also on January 12, 2022, the Debtors, the Reporting Person, Costa Verde, Qatar, and certain members of the Ad Hoc Group constituting the Requisite Commitment Creditors (as defined in the RSA) entered into an amendment to the RSA (the “RSA Amendment”) with respect to the terms of the tranche of the unsecured convertible notes rights offering in which the Facilitating Shareholders would participate.  The foregoing description of the BCA and the RSA Amendment are qualified in their entirety by the express terms of such agreements, copies of which are included as Exhibit 99.3 and Exhibit 99.4 and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Reporting Person disclaims membership in a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act and beneficial ownership over any of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any other person, including the Other Shareholders or any member of the Ad Hoc Group, and nothing in the Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment No. 3, shall be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is a member of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act.”

  

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“The responses of the Reporting Person to Items 2, 3, 4, 5 of the Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment No. 3, are incorporated into this Item 6 by reference.

 

Except as disclosed in the Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment No. 3, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between the Reporting Person and any third persons, including the Other Shareholders, with respect to the Common Stock.”

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.  

 

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibits:

 

Exhibit Number Description
Exhibit 99.3 Backstop Commitment Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2022 (Filed as part of Exhibit 99.1 to LATAM’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2022 (Film No. 22527947)).

The holders of such New Convertible Back-up Shares shall be restricted from the sale or transfer of such New Convertible Back-up Shares until the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Effective Date, provided, however, that such holders shall be permitted to pledge or otherwise encumber such New Convertible Notes Back- up Shares during such period; provided, further, that each Backstop Shareholder shall be permitted to sell or transfer such New Convertible Back-up Shares to another Backstop Shareholder or an Affiliate, who, for the avoidance of doubt, shall also be subject to the restrictions from sale and transfer of New Convertible Back-up Shares as described herein.
