“News published by Valor Econômico, on 05/27/2024, with the title ‘Agreement between Azul and Gol is seen as a potential merger’, contains, among other information, the following:

 

·Behind the scenes, Azul has been discussing consolidation with Gol. At first, it was rumored that Azul would be willing to buy Gol, but the view that has gained ground is they are joining forces to create a company that would also have Abra - the holding company of Gol and Colombian Avianca - as a shareholder; and

 

·The deal also has a relevant context, which is the signaling given behind the scenes by Gol and Azul in the direction of possible consolidation.

 

“We request clarification on the items indicated above, until 05/28/2024, with your confirmation or not, as well as other information considered important.”

 

First, the Company would like to reinforce its commitment to complying with the rules on the disclosure of periodic, eventual, and other information of market interest applicable to publicly traded companies, guaranteeing its wide and immediate dissemination and equal treatment to all, to avoid any type of asymmetry of information that could prejudice its investors.
