IMPORTANT INFORMATION
 
 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (“LATAM”) has commenced a preemptive rights offering to holders of shares of common stock of LATAM on the record date. LATAM will also issue rights (the “ADS rights”) to subscribe for new American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), representing shares of common stock and evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, to holders of record of ADSs on the ADS record date, which is November 13, 2013 (the “ADS Holders”).
 
The share rights, the new shares issuable upon the exercise of such share rights, and the ADS rights have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. The shares issuable upon exercise of the share rights may not be offered, sold, or subscribed for (i) within the United States, except in a transaction that is exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) outside the United States, except in an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act, and, in each case, in accordance with any applicable state securities laws.
 
ADS Holders will receive further information about the ADS rights offering directly from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the depositary and ADS rights agent.
 
This rights offering is made for the securities of a Chilean company. The rights offering is subject to Chilean disclosure requirements that are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included in the documents, if any, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.
 
It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the federal securities laws, since the issuer is located in Chile, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of Chile. You may not be able to sue LATAM or its officers or directors in a Chilean court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel LATAM, its officers, directors, and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.
