PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

In this annual report on Form 20-F, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Lan Airlines” are to Lan Airlines S.A., the unconsolidated operating entity, and references to “LAN,” “we,” “us” or the “Company” are to Lan Airlines S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All references to “Chile” are references to the Republic of Chile.

This annual report contains conversions of certain Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. These conversions should not be construed as representations that the Chilean peso amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indicated. Unless we specify otherwise, all references to “$,” “US$,” “U.S. dollars” or “dollars” are to United States dollars, references to “pesos,” “Chilean pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesos and references to “UF” are to Unidades de Fomento, a daily indexed Chilean peso-denominated monetary unit that takes into account the effect of the Chilean inflation rate. Unless we indicate otherwise, the U.S. dollar equivalent for information in Chilean pesos is based on the “dólar observado” or “observed” exchange rate published by Banco Central de Chile (which we refer to as the Central Bank of Chile) on December 31, 2011, which was Ch$519.20=US$1.00. The observed exchange rate on March 23, 2012, was Ch$487.72=US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos. See “Item 3. Key Information—Selected Financial Data—Exchange Rates”.

Lan Airlines and the majority of our subsidiaries (including our main cargo subsidiary Lan Cargo S.A., or Lan Cargo) maintain their accounting records and prepare their financial statements in U.S. dollars. Some of our other subsidiaries, however, maintain their accounting records and prepare their financial statements in Chilean pesos, Argentinean pesos or Colombian pesos. Our audited consolidated financial statements include the results of these subsidiaries translated into U.S. dollars. International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), require assets and liabilities to be translated at period-end exchange rates, revenue and expense accounts at monthly average rates.

Our audited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 were prepared in accordance with IFRS. Prior to 2009 our audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile (“Chilean GAAP”). IFRS differs in certain significant respects from Chilean GAAP. As a result, our financial information presented under IFRS as of 2009 is not directly comparable to our financial information presented with respect to previous years under Chilean GAAP. Accordingly, readers should avoid such comparison.

We have rounded percentages and certain U.S. dollar and Chilean peso amounts contained in this annual report for ease of presentation. Any discrepancies in any table between totals and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding.

This annual report contains certain terms that may be unfamiliar to some readers. You can find a glossary of these terms on page 4 of this annual report.

The summary consolidated annual financial information as of December 31, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 presented in this annual report is derived from our audited consolidated annual financial statements included in a previous annual report. This financial information has been previously presented in accordance with Chilean GAAP, and has been restated under IFRS only for comparative purpose.

(1) For more information on the subsidiaries included in this consolidated account, see Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements.
(2) Other income included in this Statement of Income Data is equivalent to the sum of income derived from duty free operations, aircraft leasing, logistics and courier operations, customs and warehousing operations, tours and other miscellaneous income. For more information, see Note 30 to our audited consolidated financial statements.
(3) The addition of the items may differ from the total amount due to rounding.
(4) As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a US$14.1 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 2011, at a non-operational level, LAN’s consolidated results were impacted by the settlement agreement totaling US$66.0 million related to the civil class action in the cargo business, partially offset by the US$44.5 million gain from the sale of Blue Express International Servicios de Transporte Limitada and Blue Express S.A. At this level there was also included a one-time charge of UF 116,091 (US$5.0 million) resulting from a settlement agreement with the Chilean airline PAL regarding the pending legal proceeding before the TDLC and their appeal before the Chilean Supreme Court in connection with the combination of LAN and TAM
(5) As of December 31, 2009 and 2010 we had 338,790,909 common shares outstanding, which was equivalent to 338,790,909 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”). As of December 31, 2011 we had 340,319,431 common shares outstanding, which was equivalent to 340,319,431 ADSs.
(6) In August 2007, the Company implemented a change in its methodology used for calculating cargo ATKs in order to better represent the available capacity in the bellies of passenger aircraft. Cargo RTKs were not affected by this change. Historical data has been modified accordingly for comparison purposes.

Although most of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, some are denominated in different currencies, such as the Chilean peso. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could lead to changes in the value of these items in U.S. dollars. Nevertheless, the impact on our results stemming from any such fluctuations is significantly mitigated by the fact that 78.0% of our revenues and 53.0% of our operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars.

In accordance with the Ley sobre Sociedades Anónimas No. 18,046 (Chilean Corporation Act) and Reglamento de Sociedades Anónimas (Regulation to the Chilean Corporation Act) (collectively, the “Chilean Corporation Law”), we must pay annual cash dividends equal to at least 30.0% of our annual consolidated distributable net income each year (calculated in accordance with IFRS), subject to limited exceptions. In 2011, we paid interim dividends related to year 2011 results totaling US$141.6 million, equivalent to 44.2% of the Company’s net income in 2011. The aforementioned dividends were paid as follows: (i) on September 15, 2011, we paid a first interim dividend of US$56.6 million related to results as of June 30, 2011, to the shareholders on record as of September 9, 2011, representing US$0.16677 per share; and (ii) on January 12, 2012, we paid a second interim dividend of US$ 85.0 million related to full year 2011 results, to shareholders on record as of January 6, 2012, representing US$0.24988 per share. The table below sets forth the cash dividends per common share and per ADS, as well as the number of common shares entitled to such dividends, for the years indicated. Dividends per common share amounts have not been adjusted for inflation and reflect common share amounts outstanding immediately prior to the distribution of such dividend. In August 2007, LAN modified the ratio of its common shares to one of its American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), from 5:1 to 1:1.

Our board of directors has the authority to declare interim dividends. Year-end dividends, if any, are declared by our shareholders at our annual meeting. For a description of our dividend policy, see “Item 8. Financial Information—Consolidated Financial Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy”.

We declare cash dividends in U.S. dollars, but make dividend payments in Chilean pesos, converted from U.S. dollars at the observed exchange rate two days prior to the day we first make payment to shareholders. Payments of cash dividends to holders of ADRs, if any, are made in Chilean pesos to the custodian, which converts those Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars and delivers U.S. dollars to the depositary for distribution to holders. In the event that the custodian is unable to convert immediately the Chilean currency received as dividends into U.S. dollars, the amount of U.S. dollars payable to holders of ADRs may be adversely affected by a devaluation of the Chilean currency that may occur before such dividends are converted and remitted.

D. Risk Factors

We wish to caution readers that the following important factors, and those important factors described in other reports submitted to, or filed with, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) among other factors, could affect our actual results and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. In particular, as we are a non-U.S. company, there are risks associated with investing in our ADSs, that are not typical for investments in the shares of U.S. companies. Prior to making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all of the information contained in this document, including the following risk factors.

Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer and Mergers involving TAM S.A.

Both commencement and completion of the exchange offer are subject to many conditions precedent and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the proposed combination with TAM S.A. will not be completed

We and TAM S.A., a Brazilian company (“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.” (“LATAM”). The proposed combination will be implemented through a delisting exchange offer to be made in the United States and in Brazil to acquire all of the outstanding voting common shares of TAM (“TAM common shares”), non-voting preferred shares of TAM (“TAM preferred shares and collectively with the TAM common shares, the “TAM shares”) and American Depositary Shares representing TAM shares (“TAM ADSs”), in each case other than any such shares owned indirectly by the TAM controlling shareholders (as defined below), and other mergers and corporate restructuring transactions described under “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Proposed Combination with TAM”, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions of the implementation agreement and the exchange offer agreement entered into on January 18, 2011 (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 ( “TEP”). The commencement of the exchange offer is subject to certain conditions set forth in the transaction agreements as described under “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Conditions for the Commencement of the Exchange Offer”, including receipt of all required regulatory approvals (including the required approvals from the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (“CVM”), the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros (the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor) (“SVS”), and the SEC. In addition, approval of the proposed combination by our shareholders is subject to the rendering of a final decision by the Chilean Supreme Court on our appeal of the mitigation measures imposed by the Tribunal de Defensa de la Competencia (Chilean Free Competition Defense Court) (“TDLC”) in connection to the proposed combination with TAM. The completion of the exchange offer is also subject to certain conditions set forth in the transaction agreements as described under “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer,” including the following:

Delisting Condition

 

   

The number of qualifying minority shares that are held by “agreeing shareholders” must be more than 66 2/3% of the total number of qualifying minority shares that are held by agreeing shareholders and disagreeing shareholders (this is the minimum threshold required to cause the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM and the delisting of TAM shares from the BM&FBovespa (“Bovespa”).

Table of Contents
   

A holder will be deemed to be an “agreeing shareholder” with respect to its qualifying minority shares only if such holder:

 

   

validly tenders such qualifying minority shares into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and does not withdraw such shares from the exchange offer; or

 

   

qualifies such qualifying minority shares for participation in the auction to be held on Bovespa (the “Auction”) and:

 

   

tenders such shares into, and does not withdraw them from, the Auction; and/or

 

   

indicates on the qualification form (a copy of which will be included with the letter of transmittal mailed to holders of TAM shares in connection with the exchange offer) that it agrees with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM.

 

   

A holder will be deemed to be a “disagreeing shareholder” with respect to its qualifying minority shares only if such holder:

 

   

validly tenders such qualifying minority shares into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and subsequently withdraws such shares from the exchange offer; or

 

   

qualifies such qualifying minority shares for participation in the Auction and:

 

   

does not tender such shares in the Auction; and/or

 

   

indicates on the qualification form (a copy of which will be included with the letter of transmittal) that it disagrees with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM.

 

   

For purposes of the delisting condition, “qualifying minority shares” mean all outstanding TAM shares not represented by TAM ADSs and all outstanding TAM ADSs, in each case that are not owned by TAM, the TAM controlling shareholders, any of their related persons (“pessoas vinculadas”) or any director or executive officer of TAM.

 

   

The delisting condition will not be waivable under Brazilian law, so if the delisting condition is not satisfied, the exchange offer will terminate and the mergers will not be completed.

Squeeze-Out Condition

 

   

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 46.63% of the outstanding TAM shares as of March 28, 2012), represents more than 95% of the total number of outstanding TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) (this is the minimum acquisition threshold required under applicable Brazilian law to give TAM the right to compulsorily redeem any TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) not owned by LAN or Holdco I S.A. (“Holdco I”) after completion of the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions described under “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements”); and

The absence of certain actions, events or circumstances that, individually or in the aggregate, have had an adverse effect on the businesses, revenues, operations or financial condition of TAM and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in all material respects.

Certain of these conditions may not be waived without written agreement of both LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders, and neither LAN nor the TAM controlling shareholders has any obligation to waive any conditions not satisfied on or prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. Therefore, even if we are willing to waive an unsatisfied condition, we may be unable to complete the exchange offer if the TAM controlling shareholders refuse to waive the condition. In addition, the obligation of the TAM controlling shareholders under the transaction agreements to contribute their TAM shares into the proposed combination 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 our 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.

If the squeeze-out condition is not satisfied and we waive this condition, we may be unable to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed combination

If the squeeze-out condition is not satisfied and we waive this condition, TAM will not be permitted under 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 unless LAN later acquires a sufficient number of TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) so as to allow TAM to compulsorily redeem the remaining outstanding TAM shares and TAM ADSs pursuant to Brazilian law. Depending on the quantity of minority shareholders remaining after completion of the exchange offer and the mergers, their existence may limit LATAM’s ability to combine the businesses and operations of LAN and TAM, which could adversely affect the combined companies’ ability to realize the potential benefits and cost savings from combining these businesses. Failure to fully realize these potential benefits and any temporary or permanent delay in integrating the businesses and operations of these two companies, could adversely affect the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of the combined companies after the completion of the proposed combination.

The final decision by the Chilean Supreme Court in connection with the mitigation measures imposed by the Chilean Free Competition Defense Court may not be rendered on time

Before the proposed combination of LAN and TAM may be completed, the final decision of the Chilean Supreme Court with respect to the appeal filed by LAN seeking the amendment or elimination of three of the conditions set forth in the decision issued by the TDLC with respect to the proposed combination with TAM, has been rendered. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Proposed Combination with TAM” and “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Conditions to Commencement of the Exchange Offer”, for a discussion of the status of the Company’s appeal. A final decision by the Chilean Supreme Court with respect to the appeal is expected by the Company in the next month, but there can be no assurance that the decision will be obtained within the expected time frame, or that the decision will not prevent the transaction to go forward. If the final decision of the Chilean Supreme Court is not rendered by the expected time frame, and this situation is not waived by the parties to the transactions agreements, the exchange offer and mergers will not be completed.

Any delay in completing the proposed combination may reduce or eliminate the benefits we expect to be achieved as a result of the proposed combination

The proposed combination is subject to a number of other conditions beyond our control that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect its completion. We cannot predict whether or when these other conditions will be satisfied. Any delay in completing the proposed combination could cause the combined companies not to realize some or all of the synergies that we expect to achieve if the proposed combination is successfully completed within its expected time frame.

Failure to complete the proposed combination could negatively impact our stock price and future business and financial results

If the proposed combination is not completed, our ongoing businesses may be adversely affected, and we would be subject to several risks, including the following:

 

   

being required to pay a termination fee to TAM of $200 million and reimburse of TAM’s expenses under certain circumstances provided in the transaction agreements;

 

   

having to pay certain costs relating to the proposed combination, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor and printing fees; and

 

   

having had our management focus on the proposed combination instead of pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us.

If the proposed combination is not completed, we cannot assure our stockholders that these risks will not materialize and will not materially adversely affect our business, financial results and stock price.

The transaction agreements contain provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of LAN

The transaction agreements require our board of directors to recommend that its shareholders approve the proposed combination and does not permit our board of directors to withdraw or adversely modify those recommendations. The transaction agreements also contains “no shop” provisions that prohibit us from soliciting, initiating or encouraging any competing third party proposals, including acquisitions of our equity securities or material assets, and there are no exceptions to these provisions. In addition, if the transaction agreements are terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay to TAM a termination fee of $200 million and to reimburse TAM for expenses incurred by TAM in connection with the transaction agreements and the proposed combination. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements” and “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Termination”. These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of LAN from considering or proposing that acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a value per share higher than the benefits LAN shareholders may receive from the proposed combination, or might result in a potential third-party acquiror proposing to pay a lower price to the LAN shareholders 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.

The fairness opinion obtained by our board of directors from our financial advisor will not reflect changes in circumstances between signing the transaction agreements and the completion of the proposed combination

While our board of directors received an initial fairness opinion from J.P. Morgan, our financial advisor, before we entered into the transaction agreements (the “Initial JPM Opinion”), and a supplemental fairness opinion, dated November 11, 2011 (the “Supplemental JPM Opinion”), we have not obtained an updated fairness opinion as of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F. Changes in our operations and prospects and those of TAM, general market and economic conditions and other factors which may be beyond our control and on which the fairness opinions were based may alter the value of LAN or TAM and/or the prices of our common shares and/or the TAM shares by the time the proposed combination is completed. The Initial JPM Opinion and the Supplemental JPM speak only as of the date of such opinions and not as of the time the proposed combination will be completed or as of any other date. Because we do not anticipate asking our financial advisor to further update its fairness opinion, neither the Initial JPM Opinion nor the Supplemental JPM Opinion address the fairness of the exchange ratios in the exchange offer, from a financial point of view, to us at the time the proposed combination will be completed.

Resales of LAN shares issued in the mergers may cause the market price of such shares to fall

As of March 28, 2012, 340,977,309 LAN shares were issued and outstanding (of which 33.84% were beneficially owned by the LAN controlling shareholders) and 1,216,251 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 American Depositary Shares (“LAN ADSs”) and LAN Brazilian Depositary Shares (“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 contribute all of their TAM shares into the proposed business combination 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 the exchange offer 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 LAN will issue a total of 140,586,107 LAN common shares in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers and immediately after the effective time of the mergers, the issued and outstanding LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs but excluding those reserved under stock option plans) will be owned approximately as follows: 13.62% of such LAN shares will be held by the TAM controlling shareholders, 15.59% of such LAN shares will be held by the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs other than the TAM controlling shareholders, 23.97% of such LAN shares will be held by the LAN controlling shareholders and 46.82% 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.

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:

 

   

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

 

14


Table of Contents
   

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 annual report may not produce the benefits LAN currently anticipates.

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. LAN incurred approximately US$15 million in non-recurring expenses in connection with the proposed combination in 2011, and expects to incur US$25 million in such expenses in 2012. Significant costs and expenses have been and are being incurred related to the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions. 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.

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.

Table of Contents

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:

 

   

Holdco I will own 100% of the TAM common shares that were:

 

   

contributed by the TAM controlling shareholders, or

 

   

acquired pursuant to the exchange offer,

 

   

LAN will own 100% of the TAM preferred shares that were acquired pursuant to the exchange offer or contributed by the TAM controlling shareholders,

 

   

The TAM controlling shareholders will own at least 80% of the outstanding Holdco I voting shares and LAN will own no more than 20% of the outstanding Holdco I voting shares, due to a Brazilian restriction that prohibits non-Brazilians to own more than 20% of a Brazilian airline, and

 

   

LAN will own 100% of the outstanding Holdco I non-voting shares, which will entitle it to essentially all of the economic rights in respect of the TAM common shares held by Holdco I.

As a result of this ownership 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 pursuant to the exchange offer and 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 supermajority approval of the shareholders (5/6 of the total of the shareholders) and/or the board of directors of Holdco I or TAM. 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. In addition, pursuant to these shareholder agreements, neither Holdco I, TAM nor TAM’s subsidiaries may take certain actions without the prior approval of a supermajority of the board of directors and/or the shareholders of Holdco I or TAM. As a result of these supermajority requirements, these actions will effectively require the prior approval of both LAN and TEP Chile S.A. (“TEP Chile”) (which will be wholly owned by the TAM controlling shareholders). Actions requiring supermajority approval by the board of directors of Holdco I or TAM include, among others, entering into acquisitions or business collaborations, amending or approving budgets, business plans, financial statements and accounting policies, incurring indebtedness, encumbering assets, entering into certain agreements, making certain investments, modifying rights or claims, entering into settlements, appointing executives, creating security interests, issuing, redeeming or repurchasing securities and voting on matters as a shareholder of subsidiaries of TAM. Actions requiring supermajority shareholder approval of Holdco I or TAM include, among others, certain changes to the by-laws of Holdco I, TAM or TAM’s subsidiaries or any dissolution/liquidation, corporate reorganization, payment of dividends, issuance of securities, disposal or encumbrance of certain assets, creation of securities interest or entering into guarantees and agreements with related parties.

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.

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 frequent flyer programs offered by other airlines, which may adversely affect our business.

LATAM will have to withdraw from an existing airline alliance to which LAN or TAM belongs

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 and Brazilian 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. LAN and TAM are currently evaluating and have not decided yet to which airline alliance they will belong after the completion of the proposed combination with TAM. The withdrawal from one of the alliances after the proposed combination may impede LATAM from providing customers with exactly the same benefits currently provided by LAN and TAM, such as the same travel destinations, combined reservation system, itinerary flexibility, among others. As a result, passengers may prefer alliances offered by LATAM’s competitors, and consequently decide to fly with them, which may adversely affect LATAM’s business.

Risks Related to our Operations and the Airline Industry

Our performance is heavily dependent on economic conditions in the countries in which we do business and negative economic conditions in those countries could have an adverse impact on our business.

Passenger and cargo demand is heavily cyclical and highly dependent on global and local economic growth, economic expectations and foreign exchange rate variations, among other things. In the past, our business has been negatively affected by global economic recessionary conditions, weak economic growth in Chile, recession in Argentina and poor economic performance in certain emerging market countries in which we operate. The occurrence of similar events in the future could adversely affect our business. In fact, starting as of late 2008, and during 2009, many of the countries we serve, including Chile, experienced economic slowdowns or recessions, which translated into a substantial weakening of demand. We plan to continue to expand our operations based in Latin America and our performance will, therefore, continue to depend heavily on economic conditions in the region. Any of the following factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in the countries in which we operate:

 

   

changes in economic or other governmental policies;

 

   

weak economic performance, including, but not limited to, low economic growth, low consumption and/or investment rates, and increased inflation rates; or

 

   

other political or economic developments over which we have no control.

Driven by the severe downturn in the global economy, including in the economies of many of the countries we serve, we began to experience weakening demand in cargo late in 2008, and this weak demand continued into 2009. However, we began to experience a recovery in cargo traffic in late 2009, which continued improving during 2010 and 2011. If the regional economic environment continues its positive performance, demand in cargo may continue to grow during the current year. No assurance can be given that capacity reductions or other steps we may take will be adequate to offset any future reduction in our cargo and/or air travel demand.

The success of our business depends upon key regulatory issues and these issues may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our business is highly regulated and depends substantially upon the regulatory environment in the countries in which we operate or intend to operate. For example, price controls on fares may limit our ability to effectively apply customer segmentation profit maximization techniques (“passenger revenue management”) (management techniques utilizing passenger demand forecasting and fare mix optimization techniques to maximize profit for an airline) and adjust prices to reflect cost pressures. High levels of government regulation may limit the scope of our operations and our growth plans, especially in the event of deterioration of the relations between the countries in which we operate or the public perception of foreign companies in local markets. Accordingly, regulatory issues could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Table of Contents

Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if we or certain aviation authorities (among them, those from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Colombia and the United States) fail to maintain the required foreign and domestic governmental authorizations. In order to maintain the necessary authorizations issued by the Chilean Junta Aeronáutica Civil (“JAC”) and technical operative authorizations issued by the Chilean Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (“DGAC”), and other corresponding local authorities of the countries in which we operate, we must continue to comply with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

We depend on strategic alliances or commercial relationships in many of the countries in which we operate and our business may suffer if any of our strategic alliances or commercial relationships terminates.

In many of the jurisdictions in which we operate, we have found it in our interest, to maintain a number of alliances and other commercial relationships. These alliances or commercial relationships allow us to enhance our network and, in some cases, to offer our customers services that we could not otherwise offer. If any of our strategic alliances or commercial relationships and, in particular, with American Airlines, Iberia, Qantas or oneworld® deteriorates, or any of these agreements are terminated, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected.

Our business and results of operation may suffer if we fail to obtain and maintain routes, suitable airport access, slots and other operating permits.

Our business depends upon our access to key routes and airports. Our operations could be constrained by any delay or inability to gain access to key routes or airports, including:

 

   

limitations on our ability to process more passengers;

 

   

the imposition of flight capacity restrictions;

 

   

the inability to secure or maintain route rights in local markets or under bilateral agreements; or

 

   

the inability to maintain our existing slots and obtain additional slots.

We operate numerous international routes, subject to bilateral agreements and also internal flights within Chile, Argentina, Peru and other countries, subject to local route and airport access approvals. Bilateral aviation agreements as well as local aviation approvals frequently involve political and other considerations outside of our control. See “Item 4. Information on the Company— Business Overview—Regulation—Route Rights”.

There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between the countries in which our companies are based and permits from foreign governments will continue. A modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The suspension of our permission to operate in certain airports or destinations or the imposition of other sanctions could also have a material adverse effect. We cannot assure that a change in a foreign government’s administration of current laws and regulations or that the adoption of new laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to obtain favorable take-off and landing authorizations at certain high-density airports, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain all requested authorizations and slots in the future because, among other factors, government policies regulating the distribution of the authorizations and slots are subject to change.

A failure to successfully implement our growth strategy would harm our business and the market value of the ADSs and our common shares.

Our growth strategy involves increasing the frequency of flights to the markets we currently serve and expanding our service to new markets. In order to carry out this strategy, we must be able to identify the appropriate geographic markets upon which to focus and to gain suitable airport access and route approval in these markets. There can be no assurance that the new markets we enter or in which we are seeking to expand our operations will provide passenger and cargo traffic that is sufficient to make our operations in those new markets profitable.

The expansion of our business will also require additional skilled personnel, equipment and facilities. An inability to hire and retain skilled personnel or secure the required equipment and facilities efficiently and cost-effectively may adversely affect our ability to execute our growth strategy. Expansion of our markets and flight frequencies may also strain our existing management resources and operational, financial and management information systems to the point that they may no longer be adequate to support our operations, requiring us to make significant expenditures in these areas.

Our business may be adversely affected by a downturn in the airline industry caused by exogenous events that affect travel behavior or increase costs, such as outbreak of disease, natural disasters, war or terrorist attacks.

Demand for air transportation may be adversely impacted by exogenous events, such as natural disasters, epidemics, terrorist attacks, war or political and social instability. Situations such as these in one or more of the markets in which we operate could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, these types of situations could have a prolonged effect on air transportation demand and on certain cost items.

During January 2010, bad weather affected the city of Cuzco in Peru causing important human and material damage and severely affecting this tourist destination. This affected our operations, which led us to decrease our capacity in order to improve load factors. We estimate the net impact of decreased passenger operations to have been approximately US$15.0 million.

In addition, on February 27, 2010, an earthquake struck Chile causing major damages mainly in the southern regions of the country. This earthquake damaged the terminal building at the Santiago International Airport causing the suspension of LAN’s passenger services to and from Chile until March 1, 2010. Lan Cargo’s operations suffered no impact since Lan Cargo has flexibility to redesign itineraries if and when needed. As of March 28, 2010, operations were restored to normal levels and the airport started to operate normally. As of December 31, 2010, we estimate the net impact of decreased passenger operations due to the earthquake to have been approximately US$30 million.

In 2011 the Company was also impacted by the presence of volcanic ash on certain routes which resulted in US$36.6 million losses.

Terrorist attacks may also have a severe adverse impact on the airline industry. For example, the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001 substantially affected the airline industry, particularly foreign air carriers operating international service to and from the United States. Throughout South America, passenger traffic also decreased substantially, although the decrease was less severe than that in the United States. The airline industry experienced increased costs following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Airlines have been required to adopt additional security measures and may be required to comply with more rigorous security guidelines in the future.

In addition, fuel prices and supplies, which constitute a significant cost for us, may increase as a result of any future terrorist attacks, a general increase in hostilities or a reduction in output of fuel, voluntary or otherwise, by oil-producing countries. Such increases may result in both higher airline ticket prices and decreased demand for air travel generally, which could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations. Presently, there is a trend towards increases in jet fuel prices because of the increased demand caused by the 2010 recovery in the global economy coupled with conflicts during 2011 in Egypt and Libya that affected global fuel supply. It is impossible for us to predict if we will be able to fully protect ourselves against the volatility of fuel costs.

A significant portion of our cargo revenues comes from relatively few product types and may be impacted by events affecting their production or trade.

Our cargo demand, especially from Latin American exporters, is concentrated in a small number of product categories, such as fish and sea products and produce exports from Chile and Peru, and fresh flowers from Ecuador and Colombia. Events that negatively affect the production or trade of these goods may adversely affect the volume of goods that we transport and may have a significant impact on our results of operations. Some of our cargo products are sensitive to foreign exchange rates and, therefore, traffic volumes could be impacted by the appreciation or depreciation of local currencies.

In mid 2007, there was an outbreak of infectious salmon anemia virus (“ISA Virus”) in Chile, which was temporarily contained during 2008 but has continued to affect exports since then. The outbreak of ISA Virus has caused, and may continue to cause, a significant decline in salmon exports and has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our cargo operations.

Our operations are subject to fluctuations in the supply and cost of jet fuel, which could negatively impact our business.

Higher jet fuel prices or a shortage in the supply of fuel could cause a reduction in our scheduled service and could have a materially negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Jet fuel costs have historically accounted for a significant amount of our operating expenses, and accounted for approximately 34% of our operating expenses in 2011. Both the cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors and events that we can neither control nor predict. We have entered into fuel hedging arrangements, but there can be no assurance that such arrangements will be adequate to protect us from a significant increase in fuel prices in the near future or in the long term. Also, while these hedging arrangements are designed to limit the effect of an increase in fuel prices, some of our hedging methods may also limit our ability to take advantage of any decrease in fuel prices. Although we have implemented measures to pass a portion of incremental fuel costs to our customers, our ability to lessen the impact of any increase using these types of mechanisms may also be limited.

We rely on maintaining a high daily aircraft utilization rate to increase our revenues, which makes us especially vulnerable to delays.

One of the key elements of our business strategy is to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization rate, which measures the number of flight hours we use our aircraft per day. High daily aircraft utilization allows us to maximize the amount of revenue we generate from our aircraft and is achieved, in part, by reducing turnaround times at airports and developing schedules that enable us to increase the average hours flown per day. Our rate of aircraft utilization could be adversely affected by a number of different factors that are beyond our control, including air traffic and airport congestion, adverse weather conditions and delays by third-party service providers relating to matters such as fueling and ground handling.

Furthermore, high aircraft utilization rates increase the risk that, if an aircraft falls behind schedule, it could remain behind schedule for up to two days. Such delays could result in a disruption in our operating performance, leading to customer dissatisfaction due to any resulting delays or missed connections.

We fly and depend upon Airbus and Boeing aircraft, and our business is at risk if we do not receive timely deliveries of aircraft, if aircraft from these companies becomes unavailable or if the public negatively perceives our aircraft.

As our fleet has grown, our reliance on Airbus and Boeing has also grown. As of December 31, 2011, we operated a fleet of 81 Airbus, 54 Boeing and 14 Dash aircraft. These risks include:

 

   

our failure or inability to obtain Airbus or Boeing aircraft, parts or related support services on a timely basis because of high demand or other factors;

 

21


Table of Contents
   

the interruption of fleet service as a result of unscheduled or unanticipated maintenance requirements for these aircraft;

 

   

the issuance by Chilean or other aviation authorities of other directives restricting or prohibiting the use of Airbus or Boeing aircraft, or requiring time-consuming inspections and maintenance;

 

   

the adverse public perception of a manufacturer as a result of an accident or other negative publicity; or

 

   

delays between the time we realize the need for new aircraft and the time it takes us to arrange for Airbus and Boeing or from a third-party provider to deliver this aircraft.

The occurrence of any one or more of these factors could restrict our ability to use aircraft to generate profits, respond to increased demands, or could otherwise limit our operations and adversely affect our business.

We are often affected by certain factors beyond our control, including weather conditions, which can affect our operations.

Revenues for airlines depend on the number of passengers carried, the fare paid by each passenger and service factors, such as the timeliness of flight departures and arrivals. During periods of fog, ice, low temperatures, storms or other adverse weather conditions, some or all of our flights may be cancelled or significantly delayed, reducing our revenues.

Losses and liabilities in the event of an accident involving one or more of our aircraft could materially affect our business.

We are exposed to potential catastrophic losses in the event of an aircraft accident, terrorist incident or any other similar event. There can be no assurance that, as a result of an aircraft accident or significant incident:

 

   

we will not need to increase our insurance coverage;

 

   

our insurance premiums will not increase significantly;

 

   

our insurance coverage will fully cover all of our liability; or

 

   

we will not be forced to bear substantial losses.

Substantial claims resulting from an accident or significant incident in excess of our related insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, any aircraft accident, even if fully insured, could cause the negative public perception that our aircraft are less safe or reliable than those operated by other airlines, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Insurance premiums may also increase due to an accident or incident affecting one of our airline affiliates or alliance partners or affecting other airlines.

High levels of competition in the airline industry may adversely affect our level of operations.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by high levels of competition within the industry, particularly the entrance of new competitors into the markets in which we operate. Airlines compete primarily over fare levels, frequency and dependability of service, brand recognition, passenger amenities (such as frequent flyer programs) and the availability and convenience of other passenger or cargo services. New and existing airlines could enter our markets and compete with us on any of these bases. Several of our competitors are larger than us and have greater brand recognition and greater resources than we do. Competing carriers include investor-owned, government-subsidized and national flag carriers of foreign countries as well as low-cost carriers offering discounted fares. The U.S. -Chile and other open skies agreements may subject us to

 

22


Table of Contents

further competition from international carriers. In addition to traditional competition among airline companies, we face competition from companies that provide ground transportation, especially in our domestic cargo and passenger businesses, as well as sea transportation for our cargo business. Competition could reduce our passenger traffic and cargo demand, forcing us to reduce our fare levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and level of operations.

Chile may open its domestic aviation industry to foreign airlines without restrictions, which may change the competitive landscape of the domestic Chilean aviation sector and affect our business and results of operations

Currently, Chilean laws and regulations permit foreign airlines to operate domestic flights in Chile. Nevertheless, the rules currently prevent foreign-based carriers from flying within Chile without setting up a Chilean subsidiary first. There are currently no foreign airlines participating in the Chilean domestic market. However, on January 18, 2012, both the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Economics of Chile announced steps towards unilaterally opening the Chilean domestic skies in the near term. Chilean Domestic Unilateral Open Skies Rule may change the competitive landscape of the Domestic Chilean Aviation Sector, as it will be easier for foreign companies in the future to freely operate in the Chilean territory, which may subject us to further competition. Competition from international carriers in the Chilean market may affect the competitive dynamics of our industry by reducing our passenger traffic and cargo demands, forcing us to reduce our fare levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and level of operations.

Some of our competitors may receive external support which could negatively impact our competitive position.

Some of our competitors may receive support from external sources, such as their national governments, which may be unavailable to us. Support may include, among others, subsidies, financial aid or tax waivers. This support could place us at a competitive disadvantage and adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

If we are unable to incorporate leased aircraft into our fleet at acceptable rates and terms in the future, our business could be adversely affected.

A large portion of our aircraft are subject to long-term operating leases. Our operating leases typically run from three to twelve years from the date of delivery. We may face more competition for, or a limited supply of, leased aircraft, making it difficult for us to negotiate on competitive terms upon expiration of our current operating leases or to lease additional capacity required for our targeted level of operations. If we are forced to pay higher lease rates in the future to maintain our capacity and the number of aircraft in our fleet, our profitability could be adversely affected.

We are incorporating various new technologies and equipment and their phase-in may have a negative impact on our service and operating standards.

In recent years we have decided to incorporate a number of new aircraft, equipment and systems. The decision to incorporate these new elements has been based on their potential to enhance customer satisfaction, increase efficiency and/or streamline processes. However, the phase-in of these elements may temporarily result in lower service and operating standards, which could affect how our customers perceive us and have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to meet our significant future financing requirements.

We require significant amounts of financing to meet our aircraft capital requirements and may require additional financing to fund our other business needs. We cannot guarantee that we will have access to or be able to arrange for financing in the future on favorable terms. If we are unable to obtain financing for a significant portion of our capital requirements, our ability to acquire new aircraft or to expand operations could be impaired and our business negatively affected.

 

23


Table of Contents

Our business may be adversely affected by our high degree of debt and aircraft lease obligations compared to our equity capital.

We have a high degree of debt and payment obligations under our aircraft operating leases compared to equity capital. In order to finance our debt, we depend in part on our cash flow from operations. We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to meet our payment obligations. In addition, the majority of our property and equipment is subject to liens securing our indebtedness. In the event that we fail to make payments on the secured indebtedness, creditors’ enforcement of liens could limit or end our ability to use the affected property and equipment to fulfill our operational needs and thus generate revenue.

Increases in insurance costs and/or significant reductions in coverage could harm our financial condition and results of operations.

Major events affecting the aviation insurance industry (such as terrorist attacks, hijackings or airline crashes) may result in significant increases of the airlines’ insurance premium or in significant decreases of insurance coverage, as it happened after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Increases in insurance costs and/or significant reductions in coverage could harm our financial condition and results of operations.

Problems with air traffic control systems or other technical failures could interrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our operations, including our ability to deliver customer service, are dependent on the effective operation of our equipment, including our aircraft, maintenance systems and reservation systems. Our operations are also dependent on the effective operation of domestic and international air traffic control systems and the air traffic control infrastructure in the markets in which we operate. Equipment failures, personnel shortages, air traffic control problems and other factors that could interrupt operations could adversely affect our operations and financial results as well as our reputation.

Our financial success depends on the availability and performance of key personnel, who are not subject to non-competition restrictions.

Our success depends to a significant extent on the ability of our senior management team and key personnel to operate and manage our business effectively. Our employment agreements with key personnel do not contain any non-competition provisions applicable upon termination. Competition for highly qualified personnel is intense. If we lose any executive officer, senior manager or other key employee and are not able to obtain an adequate replacement, or if we are unable to attract and retain new qualified personnel, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our business may experience adverse consequences if we are unable to reach satisfactory collective bargaining agreements with our unionized employees.

Approximately 49% of our employees, including administrative personnel, cabin crews, flight attendants, pilots and maintenance technicians are members of unions and have contracts and collective bargaining agreements which expire on a regular basis. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by a failure to reach agreement with any labor union representing such employees or by an agreement with a labor union that contains terms that are not in line with our expectations or that prevent us from competing effectively with other airlines.

Pressure by employees could cause operating disruptions and negatively impact our business.

Certain employee groups such as pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and our airport personnel have highly specialized skills. As a consequence, actions by these groups, such as strikes, walk-outs or stoppages, could severely disrupt our operations and negatively impact our operating and financial performance, as well as how our customers perceive us.

 

24


Table of Contents

For example, during the third quarter of 2001, members of one of our pilot unions implemented a series of actions that disrupted our services prior to the negotiation of their collective bargaining agreement, which had a negative impact on our operations and our profitability.

Increases in our labor costs, which constitute a substantial portion of our total operating costs, could directly impact our earnings.

Labor costs constitute a significant percentage of our total operating costs (19.6% in 2011), and at times in our operating history we have experienced pressure to increase wages and benefits for our employees. A significant increase in our labor costs above the assumed costs could result in a material reduction in our earnings.

We may experience difficulty finding, training and retaining employees.

Our business is labor intensive. We employ a large number of pilots, flight attendants, maintenance technicians and other operating and administrative personnel. The airline industry has, from time to time, experienced a shortage of qualified personnel, specifically pilots and maintenance technicians. In addition, as is common with most of our competitors, we may, from time to time, face considerable turnover of our employees. Should the turnover of employees, particularly pilots and maintenance technicians, sharply increase, our training costs will be significantly higher. We cannot assure you that we will be able to recruit, train and retain the qualified employees that we need to continue our current operations or replace departing employees. A failure to hire and retain qualified employees at a reasonable cost could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with applicable environmental regulations could adversely affect our business and reputation.

Our operations are covered by environmental regulations at local, national and international levels. These regulations cover, among other things, emissions to the atmosphere, disposal of solid waste and aqueous effluents, aircraft noise and other activities incident to our business. Future operations and financial results may vary as a result of such regulations. Compliance with these regulations and new or existing regulations that may be applicable to us in the future could increase our cost base and adversely affect our operations and financial results. In addition, failure to comply with these regulations could adversely affect us in a variety of ways, including adverse effects on our reputation.

Risks Related to Chile and Other Emerging Market Countries

Developments in Latin American countries and other emerging market countries may adversely affect the Chilean economy, negatively impact our business and results of operations and cause the market price of our common shares and ADSs to decrease.

We conduct a significant portion of our operations in emerging market countries, particularly in Latin America. As a result, economic and political developments in these countries, including future economic crises and political instability, could impact the Chilean economy or the market value of our securities and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Beginning late 2008, and continuing during 2009, many of the countries we serve, including Chile, experienced economic slowdowns or recessions, which resulted in a substantial weakening of demand. Although economic conditions in other emerging market countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Chile, we cannot assure that events in other countries, particularly other emerging market countries, will not adversely affect the market value of, or market for, our common shares or ADSs.

Fluctuations in the value of the Chilean peso and other currencies in the countries in which we operate may adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Changes in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar or other currencies in the countries in which we operate could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We operate in numerous countries and face the risk of variation in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar or between the currencies of these various countries. Approximately 99% of our indebtedness at December 31, 2011 is

 

25


Table of Contents

denominated in U.S. dollars, 22% of our revenues and 47% of our operating expenses in 2011 were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, mainly the Chilean peso. If the value of the peso, or of other currencies in which revenues are denominated, declines against the U.S. dollar, we will need more pesos or other local currency to repay the same amount of U.S. dollars. The Chilean peso has experienced volatility in recent years, including an average nominal depreciation of 1.3% against the U.S. dollar in 2008, an average nominal depreciation of 4.7% against the U.S. dollar in 2009 and an average nominal appreciation of 4.6% against the U.S. dollar in 2010. The exchange rate of the Chilean peso and other currencies against the U.S. dollar may fluctuate significantly in the future. Changes in Chilean and other governmental economic policies affecting foreign exchange rates could also adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the return to our shareholders on their common shares or ADSs.

Exchange controls in Venezuela delay our ability to repatriate cash generated from operations in Venezuela. They also increase our exposure to exchange rate losses due to potential devaluations of the Venezuelan bolivar vis à vis the U.S. dollar during the period of time between the time we are paid in Venezuelan bolivares and the time we are able to repatriate such revenues in U.S. dollars. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Year ended December 31, 2011 compared to year ended December 31, 2010—Cost of Sales” and “—Year ended December 31, 2010 compared to year ended December 31, 2009—Cost of Sales”.

We are not required to disclose as much information to investors as a U.S. issuer is required to disclose and, as a result, you may receive less information about us than you would receive from a comparable U.S. company.

The corporate disclosure requirements that apply to us may not be equivalent to the disclosure requirements that apply to a U.S. company and, as a result, you may receive less information about us than you would receive from a comparable U.S. company. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The disclosure requirements applicable to foreign issuers under the Exchange Act are more limited than the disclosure requirements applicable to U.S. issuers. Publicly available information about issuers of securities listed on Chilean stock exchanges also provides less detail in certain respects than the information regularly published by listed companies in the United States or in certain other countries. Furthermore, there is a lower level of regulation of the Chilean securities markets and of the activities of investors in such markets as compared with the level of regulation of the securities markets in the United States and in certain other developed countries.

Risks Related to our Common Shares and ADSs

Our controlling shareholders may have interests that differ from those of our other shareholders.

As of January 31, 2012 our controlling shareholders, beneficially owned 33.9% of our voting common shares. Controlling shareholders are in a position to elect four of the nine members of our board of directors and are in a position to direct our management. In addition, under the terms of the deposit agreement governing the ADSs, if holders of ADSs do not provide JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the ADSs, with timely instructions on the voting of the common shares underlying their ADRs, the depositary will be deemed to have been instructed to give a person designated by the board of directors the right to vote those common shares.

Trading of our ADSs and common shares in the securities markets is limited and could experience further illiquidity and price volatility.

Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. In addition, Chilean securities markets may be materially affected by developments in other emerging markets, particularly other countries in Latin America. Accordingly, although you are entitled to withdraw the common shares underlying the ADSs from the depositary at any time, your ability to sell the common shares underlying ADSs in the amount and at the price and time that you wish to do so may be substantially limited. This limited trading market may also increase the price volatility of the ADSs or the common shares underlying the ADSs.

Holders of ADSs may be adversely affected by currency devaluations and foreign exchange fluctuations.

If the peso exchange rate falls relative to the U.S. dollar, the value of the ADSs and any distributions made thereon from the depositary could be adversely affected. Cash distributions made in respect of the ADSs are received by the depositary (represented by the custodian bank in Chile) in pesos, converted by the custodian bank into U.S. dollars at the then prevailing exchange rate and distributed by the depositary to the holders of the ADRs evidencing those ADSs. In addition, the depositary will incur foreign currency conversion costs (to be borne by the holders of the ADRs) in connection with the foreign currency conversion and subsequent distribution of dividends or other payments with respect to the ADSs.

Future changes in Chilean foreign investment controls and withholding taxes could negatively affect non-Chilean residents that invest in our shares.

Equity investments in Chile by non-Chilean residents have been subject in the past to various exchange control regulations that govern investment repatriation and earnings thereon. Although not currently in effect, regulations of the Central Bank of Chile have in the past required, and could again require, foreign investors acquiring securities in the secondary market in Chile to maintain a cash reserve or to pay a fee upon conversion of foreign currency to purchase such securities. Further, future changes in withholding taxes could negatively affect non-Chilean residents that invest in our shares.

When we established our ADS facility as part of our initial public offering in 1997, there were foreign exchange controls in Chile. At that time, in order to allow the depositary and investors to be able to enter into foreign exchange transactions to repatriate from Chile amounts they received in connection with the deposited shares of common stock (including dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying shares of common stock and any rights with respect thereto), we entered into a foreign investment contract (the “Foreign Investment Contract”) with the Central Bank and the depositary. The Foreign Investment Contract guaranteed ADS investors and the depositary access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert amounts from Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars and to repatriate such amounts.

In 2001, a new Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (the “New Compendium”) removed exchange controls and many other barriers to investment. However, even though there are no longer foreign exchange controls in Chile, all foreign investment contracts (including the Foreign Investment Contract), continue to remain in full force.

We cannot assure that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, the disposition of the common shares underlying ADSs or the repatriation of the proceeds from an acquisition, a disposition or a dividend payment, will not be imposed or required in the future, nor could we make an assessment as to the duration or impact, were any such restrictions to be imposed or required. For further information, see “Item 10. Additional Information—Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile”.

Our ADS holders may not be able to exercise preemptive rights in certain circumstances.

The Chilean Corporation Law, provides that preemptive rights shall be granted to all shareholders whenever a company issues new shares for cash, giving such holders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. We will not be able to offer shares to holders of ADSs and shareholders located in the United States pursuant to the preemptive rights granted to shareholders in connection with any future issuance of shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), is effective with respect to such rights and shares, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. At the time of any rights offering, we will evaluate the potential costs and liabilities associated with any such registration statement in light of any indirect benefit to us of enabling U.S. holders of ADRs evidencing ADSs and shareholders located in the United States to exercise preemptive rights, as well as any other factors that may be considered appropriate at that time, and we will then make a decision as to whether we will file a registration statement. We cannot assure that we will decide to file a registration statement or that such rights will be available to ADS holders and shareholders located in the United States.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

General

Lan Airlines is a publicly-held stock corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) incorporated under the laws of Chile, with unlimited duration. Lan Airlines is a company primarily involved in the transportation of passengers and cargo.

The Chilean government founded Lan Airlines (formerly Lan Chile S.A.) in 1929. Lan Airlines was a government-owned company from 1929 until its incorporation in 1983. We began international service to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1946, to the United States in 1958 and to Europe in 1970. In 1989, the Chilean government sold 51.0% of Lan Airlines’s capital stock to Chilean investors and to Scandinavian Airlines System. In 1994, our controlling shareholders together with other major shareholders acquired 98.7% of Lan Airlines’s stock, including the remaining stock held by the Chilean government, in a series of transactions. As of February 29, 2012, our controlling shareholders held 33.9% of our capital stock. For more information about our controlling shareholders, see “Item 7. Controlling Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Controlling Shareholders” and “Item 7. Controlling Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Related Party Transactions”. In 1997, Lan Airlines was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the first Latin American airline to trade its ADRs on this financial market.

Since this acquisition of our capital stock in 1994 and the appointment of our current management, we have grown our revenue base and maintained our profitability every year despite significant challenges. Additionally, we have created a comprehensive network across the region by forming, together with local partners, or acquiring, passenger affiliates in Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia, and cargo affiliates in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. In early 2004, we changed our corporate image and started using the “LAN” brand in order to better reflect the common values and attributes present in all the companies forming our network. We have complemented our own network with a set of bilateral alliances with carriers such as American Airlines, Iberia and Qantas, and have been a member of the oneworld® alliance since 2000.

Our principal executive offices are located at Presidente Riesco 5711, 20th floor, Las Condes, Santiago, Chile and our general telephone number at this location is (56-2) 565-2525. We have designated LAN Airlines as our agent in the United States, located at 970 South Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156. Our website address is www.lan.com. Information obtained on, or accessible through, this website is not incorporated by reference herein and shall not be considered part of this annual report.

Capital Expenditures

For a description of our capital expenditures, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures”.

Proposed Combination with TAM

On August 13, 2010, we jointly announced with TAM that we had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding relating to the proposed all-stock transaction that would combine the holdings of LAN and TAM under a single parent entity.

On January 18, 2011, we and the LAN controlling shareholders entered into the transaction agreements with TAM, TEP and the TAM controlling shareholders, which set forth the terms and conditions of a proposed business combination of LAN and TAM. For a discussion of how the proposed combination will be implemented and the terms of the transaction agreements, see “—The Transaction Agreements” below.

The Transaction Agreements

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 annual report on Form 20-F. The description in this section and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the transaction agreements, as amended, which are incorporated by reference into this annual report on Form 20-F. 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. We 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 annual report on Form 20-F, in the public filings TAM and LAN make with the SEC, and other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed business combination of LAN and TAM. Factual disclosures about TAM or LAN contained in this annual report on Form 20-F or in LAN’s or TAM’s 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 annual report on Form 20-F and in the documents incorporated by reference into this annual report on Form 20-F. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, 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 annual report on Form 20-F. In this annual report on Form 20-F, 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 proposed combination and its component steps, set forth below is a description of those steps together with organizational charts that illustrate how the transaction will affect the ownership of LAN and TAM.

Table of Contents

Current Ownership of TAM

 

LOGO

As of March 28, 2012, TAM’s current authorized share capital was R$1,200,000,000, which consisted of 55,816,683 TAM common shares and 100,390,098 TAM preferred shares. The TAM controlling shareholders owned approximately 85.37% of the TAM common shares and 25.09% of the TAM preferred shares as of March 28, 2012 and the remaining TAM shares were held by TAM’s minority shareholders.

Current Ownership of LAN

 

LOGO

As of March 28, 2012 LAN’s current authorized share capital was 341,000,000 common shares, which consisted of 340,977,309 LAN common shares. The LAN controlling shareholders owned approximately 33.84% of the LAN common shares as of March 5, 2012. For a description of the rights attached to LAN common shares, see “Item 10. Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association.”

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.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreements, the proposed combination will be effected as described below:

 

   

In June 2011, the TAM controlling shareholders formed four new Chilean companies:

 

   

TEP Chile, a new Chilean corporation formed in June 2011,

 

   

Holdco I, a new Chilean corporation formed in June 2011,

 

30


Table of Contents
   

Holdco II S.A., a new Chilean corporation formed in June 2011 (“Holdco II”), and

 

   

Sister Holdco S.A., a new Chilean corporation formed in June 2011 (“Sister Holdco”).

 

   

The current ownership of these four new companies is as follows:

 

   

the TAM controlling shareholders own 100% of the outstanding shares of TEP Chile,

 

   

TEP Chile owns 100% of the voting shares of Holdco I (“Holdco I voting shares”), which class of shares is entitled to essentially all of the voting rights but none of the economic rights in Holdco I,

 

   

LAN owns 100% the non-voting shares of Holdco I (“Holdco I non-voting shares”), which class of shares is entitled to essentially all of the economic rights but none of the voting rights in Holdco I,

 

   

Holdco I and LAN each own one common share of Holdco II (“Holdco II share”), which collectively represent 100% of the outstanding Holdco II shares, and

 

   

TEP Chile and its nominee each own one common share of Sister Holdco (“Sister Holdco share”), which collectively represent 100% of the outstanding Sister Holdco shares.

 

   

Holdco II will make an exchange offer in the United States and in Brazil to acquire all of the issued and outstanding:

 

   

TAM common shares,

 

   

TAM preferred shares, and

 

   

TAM ADSs,

in each case that are not 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 tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer:

 

   

the TAM controlling shareholders will contribute to TEP Chile all of their TAM common shares and all of their TAM preferred shares and will receive additional shares of TEP Chile,

 

   

TEP Chile will contribute to Holdco I all of the TAM common shares that it received from the TAM controlling shareholders and will receive Holdco I non-voting shares, and

 

   

TEP Chile will contribute to Sister Holdco:

 

   

all of the TAM preferred shares that TEP Chile received from the TAM controlling shareholders,

 

   

all of the Holdco I non-voting shares that TEP Chile received from Holdco I, and

 

   

6.2% of the outstanding Holdco I voting shares,

and will receive a number of Sister Holdco shares equal to the total number of TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares that the TAM controlling shareholders contributed to TEP Chile.

 

31


Table of Contents

After completion of the steps described in the immediately preceding bullet point, the ownership of TAM will be as follows:

 

LOGO

After Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM ADSs and TAM shares tendered into, and not withdrawn from, 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 as a result of which:

 

   

LAN will be the surviving company of both mergers,

 

   

Holdco II and Sister Holdco will cease to exist, and

 

   

each Holdco II share (including those that would otherwise have been delivered at the settlement of the exchange offer) and each Sister Holdco share will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share.

Promptly after settlement of the exchange offer, LAN will:

 

   

contribute to Holdco I any TAM common shares acquired in the exchange offer in exchange for the same number of Holdco I non-voting shares, and

 

   

increase its ownership percentage of the outstanding Holdco I voting shares by converting some of its Holdco I non-voting shares into Holdco I voting shares to the percentage that will cause the product of (i) TEP Chile’s ownership percentage of the outstanding Holdco I voting shares and (ii) Holdco I’s ownership percentage of the outstanding TAM common shares to be equal to 80%.

 

32


Table of Contents

As a result of the foregoing transactions:

Holdco I will own 100% of the TAM common shares that were:

 

   

contributed by the TAM controlling shareholders or

 

   

acquired pursuant to the exchange offer.

If the transactions described above are successfully completed, then immediately following the completion of these transactions the ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of LAN and TAM will be approximately as shown below. The ownership percentages shown in the chart below 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 the exchange offer 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 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 contributing to Holdco I and Sister Holdco all of the TAM shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders.

 

LOGO

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 Brazilian Depositary Receipts (“LAN BDRs”).

 

33


Table of Contents

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 they contributed to TEP Chile at the same exchange ratio as the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs acquired in the exchange offer.

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.

If the exchange offer is completed, the TAM shares will be delisted automatically from Bovespa. If the TAM ADSs are no longer eligible for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“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. 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 Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (Santiago Stock Exchange) (“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.”

TAM Shareholders’ Meeting

At a duly called shareholders’ meeting held on January 3, 2012 (at which the requisite quorum of the qualifying minority shares was present), the holders of qualifying minority 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 (the “Appraiser”) and to adopt as the Appraisal Report the appraisal report prepared by Bradesco valuing each of LAN and TAM as of November 23, 2011, in accordance with CVM 361/2002, which was presented at that meeting. At this meeting, the holders of qualifying minority shares unanimously approved Bradesco as the Appraiser and the appraisal report prepared by Bradesco as the Appraisal Report. If the holders of qualifying minority shares had 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 under “—Transaction Agreements—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 qualifying minority shares shall have not requested a new appraisal report and a new appraiser in accordance with Brazilian law and the holders of the qualifying minority shares shall no longer have the right to request a new appraisal report or a new appraiser. The period during which the holders of qualifying minority shares had the right to request a new appraisal report and a new appraiser under Brazilian law has expired, so the holders of qualifying minority shares no longer have the right to exercise these rights.

TAM Representations and Warranties

TAM made customary representations and warranties that are subject, in some cases, to specified exceptions and qualifications and the matters contained in the disclosure schedule delivered by TAM to LAN pursuant to the exchange offer agreement.

The requisite Sister Holdco shareholder approval will be expressly conditioned upon, and will become effective only upon, the completion of the mergers.

Both Holdco II and Sister Holdco shareholders’ meetings were held on December 21, 2011.

Further Actions; Notification

We and TAM have agreed to cooperate with each other and use (and cause our respective affiliates to use) our respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions and to do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under the transaction agreements and applicable law to satisfy the conditions to the commencement and completion of the exchange offer described below under “Item 4. Information on the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Conditions for the Commencement of the Exchange Offer” and “Item 4. Information on the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Conditions to the Completion of the Exchange Offer” (collectively, the “exchange offer conditions”) and to complete as soon as reasonably practicable the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements in accordance with the terms of the transaction agreements. If any action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any person challenging any such transaction, each party is required to cooperate in all respects with the other parties and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts completion of such transaction so as to permit such completion by the fifth business day before June 30, 2012. In addition, each party is required to, at its own cost and expense, defend any such actions or proceedings against it or its affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements.

Neither we nor TAM nor any of our respective affiliates will be required to sell, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise encumber, or to hold separate pending any such action, or propose, commit or agree to any of the foregoing or to hold separate, either before or after the effective time, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest of either of us or any of our affiliates or to take or agree to take any other action, or agree or consent to any limitations or restrictions on freedom of actions with respect to, or our ability to own, retain or make changes in, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests of either of us or

any of our affiliates or our ability to receive and exercise full voting, economic and ownership rights with respect to our interests in Holdco I, TAM and its subsidiaries, subject only to the rights of the TAM controlling shareholders in respect of its voting shares of Holdco I and under the shareholders agreements.

Each of the parties is required to promptly advise the other parties orally and in writing if it fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under the transaction agreements, if any of the exchange offer conditions or the TAM controlling shareholders subscription conditions (as defined under “—Conditions to the Subscriptions”) fail or cease to be satisfied or if an appraisal event (as defined under—Conditions for the Commencement of the Exchange Offer”) occurs.

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 annual report on Form 20-F, 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.

The parties have agreed not to, and to cause their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other advisors, agents and other representatives and each of the individuals who ultimately beneficially own it, which we refer to collectively as the “representatives” of a party, not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries or the making or completion of any proposal or exchange offer that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, an alternative proposal with respect to its relevant parent entity, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide to any person any non-public information or data in connection with, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any such alternative proposal, (iii) waive, terminate, modify or fail to enforce any provision of any “standstill” or similar obligation of any person, (iv) enter into any binding or non-binding contract with respect to any such alternative proposal, or (v) otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make any such alternative proposal.

The parties have also agreed to:

 

   

as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours after receipt) advise the other parties orally and in writing of the receipt of any alternative proposal relating to its relevant parent entity, the material terms and conditions of such alternative proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making such alternative proposal;

 

   

keep the other parties fully informed in all material respects of the status and details (including any changes to the terms) of such alternative proposal; and

 

   

provide to the other parties as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to it, such relevant parent entity or any of their respective representatives from any person that describes any of the terms or conditions of such alternative proposal.

Stockholder Actions

Both we and TAM have agreed to give the other the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder action or proceeding against us and/or our directors or officers relating to the transactions contemplated by the implementation agreement and not to agree to settlement of any such action without the other party’s prior written consent.

Controlling Shareholder Covenants

Voting Agreements

The TAM controlling shareholders have agreed to adhere to the following until the termination of the transaction agreements or the effective time of the mergers, whichever event occurs sooner:

 

   

cause the TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares beneficially owned by them to be voted against any alternative proposal relating to LAN and any transaction that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach by LAN of the transaction agreements; and

 

   

not to transfer the TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares beneficially owned by them, except for certain permitted transfers to affiliates and only if the transferor continues to be, and the transferee agrees to become, bound by the terms of the transaction agreements.

The LAN controlling shareholders have agreed to adhere to the following until the termination of the transaction agreements or the effective time of the mergers, whichever event occurs sooner:

 

   

vote their LAN common shares in favor of the approval of the mergers, the name change and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements;

 

   

vote their LAN common shares against any alternative proposal relating to LAN and any transaction that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach by LAN of the transaction agreements; and

 

   

not to transfer their LAN common shares, except for certain permitted transfers to affiliates and only if the transferor continues to be, and the transferee agrees to become, bound by the terms of the transaction agreements.

In addition, each of the LAN controlling shareholders and the TAM controlling shareholders have agreed that it has not entered into any voting agreement, voting trust or any other agreement, arrangement or obligations (whether or not legally binding) with respect to any of the shares of capital stock of LAN, TAM, the TAM controlling shareholders, Holdco I, Holdco II or Sister Holdco that it beneficially owns and has not granted a proxy, a consent or power of attorney with respect to any such shares and will not take any such actions while the exchange offer agreement remains in effect.

Conditions for the Commencement of the Exchange Offer

Mutual Conditions for the Commencement of the Exchange Offer

The transaction agreements contain conditions for the commencement of the exchange offer in favor of both LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders. Consequently, Holdco II is not permitted to commence the exchange offer unless all of the following conditions are satisfied or waived by both LAN and TAM controlling shareholders as of the date of commencement of the exchange offer:

 

   

the requisite LAN shareholder approval has been obtained.

This approval was obtained at LAN’s Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting held on December 21, 2011. Consequently, this condition has been satisfied. For more information about LAN’s Extraordinary

Shareholders Meeting see “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Lan Shareholders’ Meeting”. However, this approval is subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the transaction agreements and a final ruling for LAN from the Chilean Supreme Court on LAN’s appeal with respect to three conditions set forth in the decision of the TDLC with respect to the consultation procedure initiated on January 28, 2011 by Conadecus, a Chilean consumer association in connection with the proposed combination.

 

   

the requisite TAM shareholder approval has been obtained.

This approval was obtained at TAM’s Shareholders Meeting held on December 21, 2011. Consequently, this condition has been satisfied. For more information about TAM Shareholders’ Meeting see “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—TAM Shareholders’ Meeting”.

 

   

all required approvals from Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (Brazil’s Council for Economic Defence) (“CADE”), Fiscalía Nacional Económica (the Chilean antitrust prosecution agency) (“FNE”), TDLC, the applicable antitrust authorities in Italy, Spain and Germany or any other governmental authorities whose consent is required in connection with the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements (other than those which the failure to obtain, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a TAM material adverse effect or a LAN material adverse effect or to result in criminal or civil sanctions against any party to the transaction agreements, its affiliates or any directors or employees of it (collectively, the “required regulatory approvals”) have been obtained.

As of March 12, 2012, no further required regulatory approvals are needed to complete the exchange offer and the mergers. All the required regulatory approvals have been obtained, as follows:

Chile

On September 21, 2011, the Chilean TDLC issued its decision (“Decision”) with respect to the consultation procedure initiated on January 28, 2011 by Conadecus in connection with the proposed combination with TAM. 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, Aerolínea Principal de Chile S.A. (“PAL”), ACHET (a Chilean travel agents association), LAN, LAN Cargo and TAM. The Decision of the TDLC approved the proposed combination with TAM with fourteen mitigating measures.

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 extrajudicial 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 US$5 million.

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

 

44


Table of Contents
   

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 month.

If the seventh condition is not amended, LATAM’s passengers to and from Chile would be denied the benefit of the increased connectivity that would be provided by the codeshare agreements that would require prior approval of the TDLC unless and until such approval was obtained. LATAM’s ability to negotiate existing codeshares and to adapt to changes in the markets in which it has to compete could also be adversely affected because the time required to obtain the prior approval of the TDLC to amendments to those agreements could take longer than is required to adequately react to new conditions.

If the eighth condition is not eliminated, LATAM will be required to cancel or re-route certain flights out of Lima that could adversely impact connectivity of some passengers.

If the fourteenth condition is not amended, the independent consultant and the FNE will have certain inspection powers that in LAN’s opinion could increase administrative burdens and impose additional costs that would not be shared by the other airlines with which LATAM needs to compete. In addition, in LAN’s opinion this condition would undermine LAN’s constitutional rights to equality under the law, due process and protection of mail and document privacy because it would give the independent consultant and FNE intrusive and disproportionate powers solely with respect to LAN and subject LAN to a supervisory regime that would not apply to any other competitor or industry in Chile.

Brazil

On September 3, 2010, LAN and TAM submitted a merger filing before the Brazilian Antitrust System, composed of CADE, the Secretaria de Direito Econômico (Ministry of Justice) (“SDE”) and the Secretaria de Acompanhamento Econômico (Ministry of Finance) (“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 of the execution of the Instrumento Particular de Ratificação de Entendimento by the parties on October 12, 2010, pursuant to which the parties agreed on a transaction structure for the proposed combination and 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 Letter Nos. 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 of 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 case was then further examined by CADE’s Reporting Commissioner, Olavo Chinaglia, for an additional four months. CADE sent information requests to LAN and TAM (Official Letter Nos. 1830/2011; 1945/2011; 2410/2011; and 2493/2011) to complement SEAE’s analysis. On December 14, 2011, the case was adjudicated in a Plenary Session, where the board of CADE approved the transaction with the following conditions: (i) LAN and TAM cannot be members of more than one global airline alliance; (ii) LAN and TAM must swap two pairs of slots in the International Airport of Guarulhos (São Paulo/Brazil) (“Guarulhos Airport”) with one or more companies that is willing to operate non-stop flights on the São Paulo-Santiago route, granting the swapping companies the necessary infrastructure in the Guarulhos Airport; and (iii) LAN and TAM must publish the contents of the decision in newspapers widely sold in Brazil, and send letters to carriers that operate commercial flights from Guarulhos Airport, informing them of the decision. On December 30, 2011, LAN and TAM submitted a motion to clarify the decision, in which they requested that CADE clarify certain points of the decision. The motion to clarify was partially accepted

 

45


Table of Contents

by CADE’s Plenary Board, on February 8, 2012, to establish that LAN will not be required to implement the measures imposed by CADE until the exchange offer has been completed. LAN and TAM are permitted to proceed with the implementation of the transaction, regardless of the decision on the remaining points under the motion to clarify.

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) (“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 in July 2011, and Spain in October 2011. A merger control filing was also made in Italy, and unconditional approval of the Italian competition authority has been obtained in August 2011, although such approval is not required in order to complete the exchange offer and the mergers.

 

   

no court or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law or order or taken any other action that (i) makes illegal, restrains or otherwise prohibits the commencement of the exchange offer or the completion of the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreement on the terms contemplated by the transaction agreements, or (ii) limits or impairs the ability of the parties to jointly own and operate all or a material portion of TAM and its subsidiaries or exercise full ownership of their equity interests in Holdco I, TAM and its subsidiaries consistent with the terms of the shareholders agreements (the “restraining orders”).

As of March 12, 2012, no restraining orders have been issued.

 

   

no action seeking a restraining order or to limit or impair the ability of the parties to jointly own and operate all or a material portion of TAM and its subsidiaries or exercise full ownership of each of Holdco I, TAM and its subsidiaries consistent with the terms of the shareholders agreements (other than any action by a person other than a governmental entity that could not reasonably be expected to succeed on its merits) (“adverse actions”).

As of March 12, 2012, no adverse actions have been commenced.

 

   

CVM has granted the registrations of LAN and the LAN BDRs representing the LAN common shares to be issued in the mergers on the Bovespa.

the approval for listing the LAN BDRs representing the LAN common shares to be issued in the mergers on the Bovespa, (ii) the approval for listing the LAN ADRs representing LAN common shares to be issued in the mergers on the NYSE, subject to notice of issuance, (iii) the approval for listing the LAN common shares to be issued in the mergers on the SSE and (iv) approvals for any other listings required by governmental entities has been obtained (which we refer to as collectively as the “required listings”) and such listings will become effective no later than the effective time of the mergers.

As of March 12, 2012, we have not yet obtained all of the required listings.

 

   

the registration statement on Form F-4 filed in connection with the exchange offer has been declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Form F-4 has been issued by the SEC, and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the SEC.

On November 15, 2011, the Company filed a registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC in connection with the exchange offer as part of the proposed combination with TAM. On December 12, 2011, the Company received comments on the Form F-4 in a letter from the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) to which the Company responded by filing a response letter and Amendment No. 1 to the Form F-4 on February 9, 2012. On February 28, 2012, the Company received additional comments in a second letter from the Staff to which the Company responded by filing a second response letter and Amendment No. 2 to the Form F-4 on March 12, 2012. As of March 13, 2012 the aforementioned registration statement has not been declared effective.

 

   

each of the formation and restructuring transactions described and all corporate actions required under applicable law and the terms of the transaction agreements to be taken by LAN and TAM in order to commence the exchange offer and to complete the exchange offer and the mergers has been taken.

As of March 12, 2012, each of the formation and restructuring transactions and all corporate actions required under applicable law and the terms of the transaction agreements have been completed with the exception of the restructuring of TEP.

 

   

the product of 0.9 and the high end of the range of economic value of LAN per LAN common share most recently determined by the appraiser approved by the shareholders of TAM is greater than or equal to the low end of the range of economic value of TAM per share of TAM stock as determined by the appraiser at such time, which we refer to as an “appraisal event,” and if the determination was in an appraisal report, the appraisal report has not been replaced by a new appraisal report by a new appraiser at the request of the holders of the outstanding free float shares in accordance with Brazilian law.

As of March 12, 2012, no appraisal events have occurred and the rights of shareholders of TAM under Brazilian law to request a new appraiser or a new appraisal report have expired.

LAN intends to commence the exchange offer immediately after the conditions for the commencement of the exchange offer have been satisfied. The Company expects that to happen within the next month.

LAN Conditions for the Commencement of the Exchange Offer

The transaction agreements contain conditions for the commencement of the exchange offer in favor of LAN. Consequently, Holdco II is not permitted to commence the exchange offer unless all of the following conditions are satisfied by TAM controlling shareholders or waived by LAN as of the date of commencement of the exchange offer:

 

   

accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties of TAM and the TAM controlling shareholders in the transaction agreements when made and as of the commencement date.

No further shareholder approvals are required. As a result, this condition has been satisfied.

 

   

The holders of not more than 2.5% of the outstanding shares of LAN have excercised their appraisal rights (derecho de retiro) under Chilean law in connection with the approval of the mergers.

Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer

The only conditions to the completion of the exchange offer are the exchange offer conditions set forth below:

Mutual Conditions to the Completion of the Exchange Offer

Holdco II is not permitted to complete the exchange offer unless all of the following conditions are satisfied or waived by LAN (in the case of LAN’s conditions) or both LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders (in the case of the mutual conditions):

 

   

since the commencement date, none of the required listings have been revoked and the required listings shall become effective no later than the effective time;

 

   

the number of qualifying minority shares that are held by “agreeing shareholders” must be more than 66 2/3% of the total number of qualifying minority shares that are held by agreeing shareholders and disagreeing shareholders (this is the minimum threshold required to cause to the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM and the delisting of the shares of TAM from Bovespa);

 

   

A holder will be deemed to be an “agreeing shareholder” with respect to its qualifying minority shares only if such holder:

 

   

validly tenders such qualifying minority shares into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and does not withdraw such shares from the exchange offer; or

 

   

qualifies such qualifying minority shares for participation in the Auction and:

 

   

tenders such shares into, and does not withdraw them from, the Auction; and/or

 

   

indicates on the qualification form (a copy of which will be included with the letter of transmittal) that it agrees with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM.

 

   

A holder will be deemed to be an “disagreeing shareholder” with respect to its qualifying minority shares only if such holder:

49


Table of Contents
   

indicates on the qualification form (a copy of which will be included with the letter of transmittal) that it disagrees with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM.

 

   

For purposes of the delisting condition, “qualifying minority shares” mean all outstanding TAM shares not represented by TAM ADSs and all outstanding TAM ADSs, in each case that are not owned by TAM, the TAM controlling shareholders, any of their related persons (“pessoas vinculadas”) or any director or executive officer of TAM.

 

   

The delisting condition is not waivable under Brazilian law, so if the delisting condition is not satisfied, the exchange offer will terminate and the mergers will not be completed.

 

   

The absence of certain actions, events or circumstances that, individually or in the aggregate, have had an adverse effect on the businesses, revenues, operations or financial condition of TAM and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in all material respects.

 

   

since the commencement date, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Form F-4 has been issued by the SEC and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the SEC.

 

   

since the commencement date, there has not been an appraisal event, the holders of the qualifying minority shares shall not have requested a new appraisal report and a new Appraiser in accordance with Brazilian law and the holders of the qualifying minority shares shall no longer have the right to select a new Appraiser and to cause the Appraisal Report to be replaced with a new appraisal report.

 

   

The period during which the holders of qualifying minority shares had the right to request a new appraisal report and a new appraiser under Brazilian law has expired, so the holders of qualifying minority shares no longer have the right to exercise these rights.

LAN Conditions to the Completion of the Exchange Offer

or agreement contained in any contract to which any of them is a party under which the aggregate consideration provided or received, or to be provided or received, is greater than US$10 million has occurred that continues to exist, in each case after giving effect to any waivers granted by any other party to such contract and regardless of whether or not any event of default, acceleration or other enforcement action shall have been declared or taken by any such other party; and

 

   

since the commencement date, no market disruption that could reasonably be expected to have a LAN material adverse effect has occurred.

Pre-Commencement Closing; Commencement of the Exchange Offer

The parties will attend a meeting (the “pre-commencement closing”) on the first business day (“pre-commencement closing date”) following the first day on which all of the commencement conditions are satisfied or waived in accordance with the exchange offer agreement (other than any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the pre-commencement closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) (the “condition date”). Holdco II is required to commence the exchange offer as promptly as practicable on the first business day after the pre-commencement closing date by publishing the Edital relating to the exchange offer (the “Edital”) in Brazil in accordance with Brazilian law. We refer to the date and time at which such publication occurs as the “commencement date.”

Actions on the Auction Date; Completion of the Exchange Offer

The Auction will be held on the Bovespa in Brazil in which the holders of TAM shares who decide to tender into the exchange offer will tender their TAM shares and receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDSs (each of which represents one LAN common share), which will be evidenced by LAN BDRs.

The exchange offer and withdrawal rights for tenders of TAM ADSs and TAM shares will expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time (6:00 p.m. São Paulo time) (the “expiration time”) on the date (the “expiration date”) immediately preceding the date on which the auction on Bovespa will occur (the “Auction date”).

The transaction agreements describe the schedule of events to occur after the expiration time on the expiration date as follows:

 

   

no later than the Tender Certification Time (which is 6:00 a.m. Eastern time (8:00 a.m. São Paulo time)) on the Auction date, Itaú 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 the US exchange agent has certified to Itaú have been validly tendered into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and not withdrawn from the exchange offer as of the expiration time;

 

   

at 8:00 a.m. Eastern time (9:00 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction 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 8:10 a.m. Eastern time (9:10 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction 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 the LAN condition notice states that all exchange offer conditions have been satisfied or waived, then promptly after receiving LAN’s notice (but no later than 8:20 a.m. Eastern time (9:20 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction 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 8:30 a.m. Eastern time (9:30 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction 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 annual report on Form 20-F, 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”);

 

   

promptly after payment of the subscriptions (but no later than 8:40 a.m. Eastern time (9:40 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction 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 (which we refer to as the “Auction”) will commence at the Auction time, which is 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (10:00 a.m. São Paulo time) (or such other time as Bovespa may determine) on the Auction date, and the TAM controlling shareholders will cause Holdco II to complete the exchange offer on the Auction 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 Auction 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 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (10:00 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction 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 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (10:00 a.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.

Table of Contents

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.

The Mergers; Directors and Officers; By-laws

Holdco II Merger

The implementation agreement provides 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, we will continue to exist following the Holdco II merger. Pursuant to the Holdco II merger, each share of Holdco II stock (including those issuable pursuant to the settlement of the purchases made pursuant to the Auction) will be converted into a LAN common share at a ratio of 0.9 of a LAN common share per share of Holdco II stock (the “Holdco II exchange ratio”). Holders of TAM preferred shares (including those represented by 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 preferred shares tendered in the exchange offer:

 

   

holders of TAM ADSs that are tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer will receive LAN ADRs issued pursuant to the deposit agreement, dated as of October 28, 2011, among LAN, the LAN depositary, and the record holders and beneficial owners of LAN ADRs from time to time;

 

   

holders of TAM shares registered under Resolution No. 2,689/00 of January 26, 2000 enacted by the CMN that are tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer will receive LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDRs or LAN ADRs, as permitted by applicable law; and

 

   

holders of all other TAM shares tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer will receive LAN common shares in the form of BDRs representing such shares to be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement in customary form among LAN, a depositary agent to be selected by LAN and reasonably acceptable to TAM and the holders of LAN BDRs from time to time.

We are 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, we will contribute any TAM common shares beneficially owned by Holdco II immediately prior to such merger to Holdco I in exchange for new non-voting shares of Holdco I on a one-for-one basis. After this contribution, we will increase our ownership percentage of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I by converting our non-voting shares of Holdco I into voting shares of Holdco I to (A) 100% minus (B) 80% divided by the percentage of the outstanding TAM common shares owned by Holdco I determined on a primary basis after giving effect to such contribution.

 

54


Table of Contents

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 (we refer to these rights as the “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 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 implementation agreement also provides for the merger of Sister Holdco 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 Sister Holdco merger. We refer to the time that the mergers become effective as the “effective time.”

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 0.9 of a LAN common share per share of Sister Holdco stock (the “Sister Holdco exchange ratio”). We will pay or cause to be paid all deposit fees and other expenses payable in connection with the issuance of such LAN common shares.

By-Laws

The parties are required to take all necessary action so that immediately following the effective time of the mergers the by-laws of Holdco I, Sister Holdco and Holdco II shall be in the forms attached to the exchange offer agreement.

Directors

We and the TAM controlling shareholders are required to discuss in good faith and agree upon the individuals who will be 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 of the mergers, the individuals selected for election to the board of directors of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their subsidiaries by each of us and TEP Chile pursuant to the Holdco I shareholders agreement, by each of us 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 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 “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Shareholders Agreements—Voting Agreements.”

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 amounts to US$ 1,417.6 million (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).

Table of Contents

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 TAM board of directors, 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 of the mergers 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 implementation agreement or the completion of the mergers or any other transactions contemplated by implementation agreement 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.

Exchange Fund

Prior to the effective time, we 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 our 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 us.

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, we 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 date on which the Auction on Bovespa occurs (the “Auction date”) (as reported in www.bolsadesantiago.com or, if not reported therein, by another authoritative source), converted into US dollars using the “dólar observado” or “observed” exchange rate applicable on the Auction date as published by the Banco Central de Chile (“Central Bank of Chile”). This exchange rate (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) and is 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 on the date it applies, and is also made available at www.bcentral.cl at or around 6:00 P.M. (Santiago time) on the preceding day.

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 as TAM ADSs) that did not accept the exchange offer, other

Table of Contents

than those beneficially owned by the TAM controlling shareholders (the “non-tendered shares”). In this redemption, the holders of non-tendered shares will have the right to receive 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 its 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 last trading day immediately preceding the Auction date (as reported on the SSE’s website, www.bolsadesantiago.com or, if unavailable, as reported by another authoritative source), as converted into US dollars using the Chilean observed exchange rate applicable on the Auction date as published by the Central Bank of Chile, 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 (i) contribute all voting ordinary shares of TAM acquired in the exchange offer to Holdco I in exchange for non-voting shares of Holdco I, and (ii) 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 shareholder and TAM are required to use its or their commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) the TAM preferred shares to be delisted from the Bovespa if the delisting condition is satisfied with respect to such class of TAM stock 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.

The transaction agreements may also be terminated and the exchange offer and the mergers may be abandoned at any time prior to the commencement of the exchange offer as follows, whether before or after receipt of any requisite shareholder approvals:

 

   

by either LAN or the TAM controlling shareholders:

 

   

if the exchange offer has not commenced by June 30, 2012 (the “outside date”);

 

   

if any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction refuses to grant any required approval (other than any approval required from CVM with respect to the inclusion in the Edital of any of the LAN’s conditions to the completion of the exchange offer) and such refusal has become final and nonappealable or any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any restraining order that has become final and non-appealable, and such event would give rise to the failure of the condition relating to receipt of all required approvals or absence of restraining order;

however, none of the termination rights described in the preceding bullet points will be available to any party whose material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant in any transaction agreement has been a principal cause of the failure of the exchange offer to commence by the outside date or the failure of the condition giving rise to such termination right, as applicable.

 

   

by LAN:

 

   

if TAM, TEP or the TAM controlling shareholders has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the transaction agreements or any of such representations and warranties becomes untrue as of any date after the signing date, which breach

or failure to perform or untruth (i) would give rise to the failure of the condition relating to accuracy of the representations and warranties of TAM, the TAM controlling shareholder and the Amaro family or compliance by any of them with their obligations under the transaction agreements and (ii) is not capable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by TAM, the TAM controlling shareholder or the Amaro family, as applicable, by the earlier of (A) the day before the outside date and (B) the 30th calendar day following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from LAN;

 

   

prior to the commencement of the exchange offer if CVM has refused to grant its approval to the inclusion in the Edital of any of the LAN’s conditions to the completion of the exchange offer; or

 

   

if (i) the TAM board of directors 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 preceding actions (which we refer to as a “TAM board recommendation change”); or (iii) in any such case all of the directors designated for election to the TAM board of directors by the TAM controlling shareholder and/or the Amaro family do not vote against the TAM board recommendation change;

 

   

by the TAM controlling shareholders:

 

   

if LAN or the LAN controlling shareholders has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the transaction agreements or any of such representations and warranties becomes untrue as of any date after the signing date, which breach or failure to perform or untruth (i) would give rise to the failure of the condition relating to accuracy of the representations and warranties of LAN and the LAN controlling shareholders or compliance by any of them with their obligations under the transaction agreements and (ii) is not capable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by LAN or the LAN controlling shareholders, as applicable, by the earlier of (A) the day before the outside date and (B) the 30th calendar day following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from TAM; or

 

   

if (i) the LAN board of directors or any committee thereof (x) withholds, withdraws or modifies or qualifies in any manner adverse to TAM either of the LAN board recommendations 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 preceding actions (which we refer to collectively as, a “LAN board recommendation change”) or (iii) in either such case all of the directors designated for election to the LAN board of directors by the LAN controlling shareholders did not vote against the LAN board recommendation change.

Termination Fees

TAM is required to pay us a fee equal to US$200 million (“TAM termination fee”) and reimburse LAN 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 TAM receives documentation for reimbursement) if:

 

   

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

 

58


Table of Contents
 

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:

 

  (A) any person makes an alternative proposal with respect to TAM or LAN, or a “competing proposal,” to any party or its representatives,

 

  (B) a competing proposal by any person becomes publicly known, or

 

  (C) 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.

We are required to pay TAM a fee equal to $200 million (“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 we receive 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 we 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 us 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 implementation agreement 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 “—Termination Fees” will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies a party may have at law or in equity with respect to breaches of the implementation agreement by the other party.

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 LATAM board of directors any individual designated by TEP Chile unless TEP Chile beneficially owns enough LAN common shares to directly elect two directors to the LATAM board of directors;

 

   

the parties agree to vote their LAN common shares to assist the other parties in removing and replacing the directors such other parties elected to the LATAM board of directors;

 

   

the parties agree to consult with one another and use their good faith efforts to reach an agreement and act jointly on all actions (other than actions requiring supermajority approval under Chilean law) to be taken by the LATAM board of directors or the LAN shareholders;

 

   

the parties agree to maintain the size of the LATAM board of directors at a total of nine directors and to maintain the quorum required for action by the LATAM board of directors at a majority of the total number of directors of the LATAM board of directors; 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 TAM board of directors 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 LATAM board of directors, (y) the condition that the sale not have an adverse effect 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 our 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 any voting shares of Holdco I acquired pursuant to such right of first offer to us for the same consideration paid for such shares.

Table of Contents

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 24-month period at two meetings (consecutive or not) of the shareholders of LAN held at least 12 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 below under the “—Conversion Option” section), 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 our prior written consent.

Restriction on transfer of TAM shares

We agreed in the Holdco I shareholders agreement not to sell or transfer any shares of TAM stock to any person (other than our affiliates) at any time when TEP Chile owns any voting shares of Holdco I. However, we will have the right to effect such a sale or transfer if, at the same time as such sale or transfer, we (or our assignee) acquires all 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 us the assignable right to purchase all of the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by TEP Chile in connection with any such sale.

Conversion Option

Pursuant to the control group shareholders agreement and the Holdco I shareholders agreement, we have the unilateral right to convert our 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 our 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 above under the “—Transfer Restrictions” section).

On or after the tenth anniversary of the effective time and after we have fully converted all of our 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, we will have the right to purchase all of the voting shares of Holdco I held by the controlling shareholders of TAM for an amount equal to their then current tax basis in such shares and any costs incurred by them to effect such sale, which amount we refer to as the “sale consideration.” If we do not timely exercise our right to purchase these shares or if, after the tenth anniversary of the effective time, we have the right under applicable law in Brazil and other applicable law to fully convert all the shares of non-voting stock of Holdco I beneficially owned by us into shares of voting stock of Holdco I and such conversion would not have an adverse effect but we have not fully exercised such right within a specified period, then the controlling shareholders of TAM will have the right to put their shares of voting stock of Holdco I to us for an amount equal to the sale consideration.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

General

We are one of the leading passenger airlines in Latin America and the main air cargo operator in the region. We currently provide domestic and international passenger services in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia. We carry out our cargo operations through the use of belly space on our passenger flights and dedicated cargo operations using freighter aircraft through our cargo airlines in Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. In 2007, we initiated a strategy for stimulating demand for air travel in our domestic markets by offering lower-fare options to travelers, lowering our costs and increasing the aircraft utilization rates and efficiency of operations. For more information about our short-haul operations see “—Business of the Company—Passenger Operations—Business Model for Domestic Operations” below.

As of February 29, 2012, we serviced 15 destinations in Chile, 14 destinations in Peru, 4 destinations in Ecuador, 17 destinations in Argentina, 23 destinations in Colombia, 15 destinations in other Latin American countries and the Caribbean, 5 destinations in the United States, 2 destinations in Europe and 4 destinations in the South Pacific. In addition, as of February 29, 2012, through our various code-share agreements, we offer service to 29 additional destinations in North America, 17 additional destinations in Europe, 29 additional destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean (including Mexico) and 2 destinations in Asia. We provide cargo service to all our passenger destinations and to approximately 20 additional destinations served only by freighter aircraft. We also offer other services, such as ground handling, courier, logistics, and maintenance.

Competitive Strengths

Our strategy is to maximize shareholder value by increasing revenues and profitability through leveraging the operational efficiencies between our cargo and passenger divisions, thoroughly planning for our expansion efforts and carefully controlling costs. We plan to accomplish these goals by both focusing on our existing competitive strengths and implementing new strategies to fuel our future growth. We believe our most important competitive strengths are:

Leading Presence in Key South American Markets

We are one of the main international and domestic passenger airlines in Latin America, as well as the largest cargo operator in Chile and most of the South American markets that we serve. We hold the largest market share of passenger traffic to and from Chile, Peru and Ecuador, as well as the largest market share of domestic passenger traffic in both Chile and Peru. More recently, we have also achieved a solid and growing position in the Argentine domestic market through Lan Argentina and in the Argentine international market through Lan Argentina and our other passenger airlines. We are also strengthening our presence in the Ecuadorian market, where we began domestic passenger operations on April 6, 2009. We entered the Colombian domestic and international market through the acquisition of Aires on November 26, 2010. During 2011 we worked on restructuring the company in order to achieve LAN’s standards. As a result, at the end 2011, we rebranded the company to Lan Colombia. We are also the leading air cargo operator within, to and from South America, and we are consolidating our leadership through new cargo operations in Colombia and in the Brazilian domestic market, as well as through an increased presence in routes between South America and Europe. Our international and domestic passenger and cargo operations have increased substantially over the past five years in terms of capacity, traffic and revenue. Between 2005 and 2011, our passenger capacity grew 82.8% and our cargo capacity grew 50.0%.

Diversified Revenue Base from both Passenger and Cargo Operations

We believe that one of our distinct competitive advantages is our ability to profitably integrate our scheduled passenger and cargo operations. We take into account potential cargo services when planning passenger routes, and also serve certain dedicated cargo routes using our freight aircraft, when needed. By adding cargo revenues to our existing passenger service, we are able to increase the productivity of our assets and maximize revenue, which has historically covered fixed operating expenses per flight, lowered break-even load factors and enhanced per flight profitability. Additionally, this revenue diversification helps offset seasonal revenue fluctuations and reduces the volatility of our business over time. As of December 2011, passenger revenues accounted for 70.1% of total revenues and cargo revenues accounted for 27.6% of total revenues.

Attractive Cost Structure with High Utilization of our Assets and Productive Personnel

We believe that we have a highly competitive cost structure with a cost per ATK of 51.4 cents in 2011. Our cost advantage arises mainly from our productive and committed employees, high aircraft utilization, modern and fuel-efficient fleet and cost-conscious culture. Our wages and labor costs accounted for approximately 19.6% of total costs in 2011, which we believe is a lower percentage than that of many other U.S. and European carriers.

Furthermore, our itineraries and aircraft rotations are designed to maximize aircraft utilization. During 2011, our long-haul aircraft (Boeing 767-300 passenger and Airbus A340-300s) operated an average of approximately thirteen hours per day. We also implemented a new business model for short-haul operations in 2007; as a result, by the end of 2011 we increased the utilization of our narrow body aircraft to reach 9.5 hours per day. In May 2008, we completed the phase-out of the Boeing B737-200 from our fleet. Our short haul fleet is now entirely composed of Airbus A320-Family Aircraft with the exception of Lan Colombia’s fleet.

In addition, during 2009 we continued with the implementation of LEAN, a system that seeks to improve our processes by eliminating activities that do not add value (thus increasing the value of each activity and suppressing those that are superfluous), which reduces costs, improves efficiency and increases customer satisfaction. The adoption of this system constituted a redesigning of processes that permits solving problems that may occur during the execution of any process, such as aircraft maintenance. The foregoing renders the daily tasks and processes carried out within the Company more efficient. Due to its implementation, during 2011 we achieved a 40% decrease in maintenance delays and a 40% reduction in the turn-around time in certain checks in Chile and Peru. LEAN also allowed us in 2011 to support the Company’s high growth, by streamlining the pilot training process, which resulted in more pilots trained during that year. Finally, it allowed the Company to reduce CO2 emissions, by redesigning processes in various areas that result in a decrease of more than 10 million gallons of fuel consumption. In addition, by establishing clear roles, challenges and achievements, the implementation of LEAN has had an important benefit in terms of employee motivation. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business of the Company—Maintenance.”

Strong Brand Teamed with Key Global Strategic Alliances

In March 2004 we launched the “LAN” brand, under which we operate all of our international passenger airlines. Brand uniformity enables our customers to better identify us with the high standards of service and safety that are common to all of our airlines. This corporate image has also improved the cost effectiveness and efficiency of our marketing efforts as we continue to expand in our existing and new markets. Additionally, LAN and our entire passenger affiliates (with the exception of Lan Colombia) are a member of the oneworld® alliance. We have also entered into bilateral agreements with strategic partners such as American Airlines, Iberia and Qantas, among others, whose leading presence in their respective markets creates a truly global reach for our passengers. Our passenger alliances and commercial agreements provide our customers with approximately 800 travel destinations, a combined reservations system, itinerary flexibility and various other benefits, which substantially enhance our competitive position within the Latin American market.

Optimized Fleet Strategy

We make optimal use of our fleet structure through a combination of minimal aircraft types, modern aircraft and staggered lease maturities. We carefully select our aircraft based on their ability to effectively and efficiently serve our short- and long-haul flight needs, while still striving to minimize the number of aircraft types we operate. For short-haul flights we operate the Airbus A320-Family Aircraft and the recently acquired Lan Colombia’s fleet in the Colombian market. As of May 18, 2008, we stopped using Boeing 737-200 aircraft in our Chilean domestic operations. For long-haul passenger flights we operate the Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft and for long-haul cargo flights we operate the Boeing 767-300 freighters. For ultra long-haul service, such as between Santiago and Madrid and between Santiago and Auckland, we use the Airbus A340-300 aircraft. Having a fleet with minimal aircraft types reduces inventory costs, as fewer spare parts are required, and reduces the need to train our pilots to operate different types of aircraft. LAN’s strategic fleet renewal plan involves the sale of five Airbus A318 aircraft that took place in 2011, plus the sale of other five in 2012 and five in 2013.

The average age of our fleet as of February 29, 2012 was 6.1 years (6.9 years including Lan Colombia’s fleet), making our fleet one of the most modern in Latin America. The phasing out of our Boeing 737-200s, our oldest aircraft, which was completed in May 2008, contributed to reducing the average age of our fleet. Additionally, we expect that our purchase of additional aircraft, to be delivered between 2012 and 2018 will further reduce the average age of our fleet. Having a younger fleet makes us more cost competitive because it reduces fuel consumption and maintenance costs, and enables us to enjoy a high degree of performance reliability. In addition, a modern and fuel efficient fleet reflects our strong commitment to the environment as new aircraft incorporate the industry’s latest technology, allowing for a substantial reduction in emissions, while also decreasing noise levels.

Additionally, our leased fleet is structured with staggered lease maturities over time to create the strategic flexibility to expand or reduce capacity according to market conditions. We believe that our aircraft and the flexibility of our fleet allow us to maximize aircraft utilization by adapting rapidly to changes in passenger and cargo demand in the markets that we serve.

Strong Financial Position with Track Record of Growth and Profitability

We have historically managed our business to maintain financial flexibility and a strong balance sheet in order to accommodate our growth objectives while being able to respond to changing market conditions. We are one of the few investment-grade rated airlines in the world and we maintained this status during 2011. We have built our strong financial position by preserving our financial liquidity and continuing to structure long-term financing for newly acquired aircraft. Our financial flexibility has allowed us to secure large aircraft orders, including an important part of our current re-fleeting program at attractive financing rates. We also monitor and seek opportunities to reduce financial risks associated with currency, interest rate and jet fuel price fluctuations. Over the last five years, while much of the airline industry has faced significant competitive and liquidity crises, we have remained consistently profitable.

Business Strategy

The principal areas in which we plan to focus our efforts going forward are as follows:

Continue to Grow Both our Passenger and Cargo Networks

We currently intend to continue to expand our capacity over the next several years to accommodate robust long-term growth in both passenger and cargo demand in the markets we target. We plan on expanding our operations not only in the markets we currently serve but also into new South American markets where we believe demand exists for our combination of passenger and cargo services. To meet this growth, as of February 29, 2012, we had an order book of 89 latest generation Airbus A320-Family Aircraft to be delivered between 2012 and 2018 and 13 Boeing 767-300 wide body passenger aircraft to be delivered between 2012 and 2013; as of February 29, 2012, we had orders for two Boeing 777-200 freighter aircraft to be delivered in 2012; and as of February 29, 2012 we also have outstanding orders for 32 Boeing 787 Dreamliner passenger aircraft, currently expected to start to be delivered in 2012.

We will continue to leverage the benefits of combining our passenger and cargo operations. Our passenger and cargo operations are equally important aspects of our business, and we dedicate the necessary resources, employees, facilities, management and fleet to enable both operations to provide high-quality service and to compete effectively in their respective markets.

Enhance the Profitability of our Short-Haul Operations

We plan to continue implementing the business model launched in 2007 to increase the efficiency of our domestic and short-haul operations, specifically in the domestic markets in Chile and Peru. This model is also being applied in the domestic markets in Ecuador and Argentina, as well as in our recently acquired passenger operations in Colombia. In Argentina, the implementation of the model is subject to certain regulatory restrictions as a result of the fare bands in place in the Argentinean domestic market. In addition, we are evaluating the application of these initiatives on certain regional routes within Latin America. A key objective of this program has been to increase the utilization of our fleet through modified itineraries that include more point-to-point and overnight flights and faster turnaround times. Our Boeing 737-200 fleet was completely phased out in May 2008 in favor of the new Airbus A320-Family Aircraft, which we currently operate on all domestic and regional routes except those served by Lan Colombia. These initiatives have increased efficiency and improved the margins of our short-haul operations. In addition, our modern fleet allows for lower unscheduled maintenance costs, lower fuel consumption, and operational and cost efficiencies achieved through operating fewer fleet types. Other key objectives of this business model include a reduction in sales and distribution costs through increased Internet penetration, reduced agency commissions, and increased self check-in service through web check-in and airport kiosks. We expect that these initiatives, together with simplifications in back-office and support functions, will continue to help us expand operations while controlling fixed costs, spurring a reduction in overhead costs per ASK. We have begun to pass on a portion of these operating efficiencies to consumers through fare reductions, which has stimulated additional demand and enhanced our overall profitability.

Maintain Excellent Customer Satisfaction

In both our passenger and cargo businesses, we focus on delivering high quality services that are valued by our customers. In our passenger businesses we strive to achieve high on-time performance, world-class on-board service on long-haul flights, attractive and convenient pricing and quick check-in for short-haul flights, and the comfort afforded by a modern fleet. During the first half of 2009 we completed the reconfiguration of the cabins of all our long-haul aircraft, including both the Boeing 767 and the Airbus A340 passenger aircraft, in order to incorporate our new Premium Business Class including full-flat seats, as well as improvements in economy class which include a state-of-the-art on-board entertainment system. Our frequent flyer program, LANPASS, provides travel benefits and rewards to almost 5.8 million loyal customers in Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador as well as in other countries where we operate. In the cargo business, we focus on providing reliable service, taking advantage of our ability to handle different types of cargo as well as significant cargo volumes, and leveraging our facilities in key gateways, such as Miami, to ensure optimal handling of our customers’ needs. We continually assess opportunities to incorporate service improvements in order to respond effectively to our customers’ needs.

Continued Emphasis on Safety

Our top priority is safety, and we have structured our operations and maintenance to focus on safe flying. Our main maintenance facilities are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), DGAC and other civil aviation authorities. Our flight and maintenance safety procedures are certified under ISO 9001-2000 standards. We have programs in place to train our crews and mechanics to world-class standards both at facilities abroad or at our training centers, which we have developed in association with high-quality partners.

Focus on Efficiency and Sustainability

We are increasingly concerned with improving efficiency through a series of fleet initiatives that seek to reduce fuel consumption. The most significant is our ongoing fleet renewal and growth plan, through which we expect to incorporate 136 new aircraft between 2012 and 2018. As an example, we estimate that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner operates with costs per ASK that are approximately 12% lower than other long haul passenger aircraft, while the new Boeing 777 freighter operates with costs per ASK that are approximately 17% lower than the Boeing 767

freighter. In addition, we continue with the installation of winglets on all of our Boeing 767 aircraft, achieving fuel efficiencies of approximately 5% per aircraft. In order to mitigate the environmental impact of our operations we seek to operate in a sustainable manner by reducing our fuel consumption and related emissions. We also continue to focus on adjusting the configuration of our aircraft to market demand by, for example, adjusting the configuration of four Boeing 767s that operate on long-haul routes from Ecuador by reducing the number of Premium Business seats and increasing the number of Economy class seats. Other long-term projects that aim at improving our cost structure include implementing the LEAN operating processes in our maintenance operations, as well as investing in new inventory and reservations systems provided by Sabre.

Airline Operations and Route Network

We are one of the main air transport operators in Latin America. As of February 29, 2012, we operated passenger airlines in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia. We are also the largest air cargo operator in the region.

International Passenger Operations

As of February 29, 2012, we operated scheduled international services from Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia through Lan Airlines; Lan Express in Chile; Lan Peru in Peru; Lan Ecuador in Ecuador; Lan Argentina in Argentina and Lan Colombia in Colombia. International passenger traffic has grown significantly in the past couple of years due to demand growth, market share gains, increased connecting traffic to and from other Latin American countries, the launch of new routes and additional frequencies on existing routes, and expansion into new markets.

Our international network combines our Chilean, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Argentinean and Colombian affiliates. We have operated international services out of Chile since 1946, and we greatly expanded our flights out of Peru with the creation of Lan Peru in 1999 and out of Ecuador through Lan Ecuador in 2003. In August 2006, we expanded our international operations through Lan Argentina, which until then had only been offering domestic flights. The international operations of Lan Colombia, however, are being reduced since its acquisition in 2010. This strategy to generally expand our international network is aimed at enhancing our value proposition by offering customers more destinations and routing alternatives, maximizing aircraft utilization, increasing load factors, leveraging complementary seasonal patterns, and optimizing our commercial efforts. We provide long-haul services out of our five main hubs in Santiago, Lima, Guayaquil, Buenos Aires and Bogota. We also provide regional services from Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia. Since 2004, we have grown our intra-Latin American operations out of Lima to position it as our main regional hub.

LAN’s sustained development of its coverage has been a crucial factor in its growth and 2011 was no exception. New routes were added along with flight increases in some key existing routes in order to offer more and better alternatives to both business and tourist travelers. In 2011, the Company continued to consolidate its hub in Lima, which serves as the center of its Latin American network and also complements its intercontinental network, by opening new routes and increasing flights on existing routes.

As part of its mission, LAN seeks to promote tourism to South America. Due to its large network of services, visitors from around the world can experience world renowned destinations such as Cusco, Easter Island, the Galapagos Islands, or Patagonia in Chile and Argentina, including the cities of Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, El Calafate and Bariloche.

According to the Chilean JAC data, Chilean international air passenger traffic increased 17.2% from 2010 to 2011, totaling approximately 6.0 million passengers, as measured in RPK. We had 51.3% of the international market share in Chile in 2011, which was a decrease compared to 52.8% in 2010. Our Chilean international operations can be divided into four main segments, based on the destination: to North America, Europe, the rest of Latin America, and the Pacific. As of February 29, 2012, our main competitors on direct routes between Chile and North America included American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Air Canada and Aeromexico. TACA and COPA also participated in the Chile-North American markets with stopovers in their respective Central American hubs. Our main competitors on routes between Chile and Europe were Air France-KLM and Iberia. On regional routes our main competitors included Aerolineas Argentinas, Air Canada, Avianca, GOL, TACA and TAM. We were the only airline operating between Chile and the South Pacific during this time.

According to Peruvian DGAC data, Peruvian international air passenger traffic increased 14.3% from 2010 to 2011, totaling approximately 5.8 million passengers, as measured by the number of passengers. We had 46.3% of the international market share in Peru in 2011, which was an increase compared to 43.9% in 2010. Our Peruvian international operations can be divided into three main segments, based on the destination: to North America, Europe and the rest of Latin America. As of February 29, 2012, our main competitors on direct routes between Peru and North America included American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Air Canada and Aeromexico. TACA and COPA also participated in the Peru-North American markets with stopovers in their respective Central American hubs. On routes to Europe, our main competitors were Iberia, Air Europa and Air France-KLM. On regional routes our main competitors included included Aerolineas Argentinas, TACA, TAM, Avianca and GOL.

According to our internal estimates and travel agency statistics (captured through IATA Billing Settlement Plan or “BSP”), Ecuadorian international air passenger traffic increased 6.0% from 2010 to 2011, totaling approximately 3.0 million passengers. We had 31.0% of the international market share in Ecuador in 2011, which was an increase compared to 28.7% in 2010. Our Ecuadorian international operations can be divided into three main segments, based on the destination: to North America, Europe and the rest of Latin America. As of February 29, 2012, our main competitors on direct routes between Ecuador and North America included American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines and Aerogal.

According to Aeronautica Civil (Colombian Civil Aeronautics), the Colombian international market increased 12.8% from October 31, 2010 to October 31, 2011, totaling approximately 5.7 million passengers, as measured in RPK. The international passenger market in Colombia for the full year 2010 was 6.2 million passengers. We had 4.6% of the international market share in Colombia as of October 31, 2011, which was a decline compared to 6.0% as of October 31, 2010 (including Aires figures, before its acquisition by LAN). Our international operations in Colombia can be divided in two business segments, based on destination: to North America and the rest of Latin America. As of February 29, 2012, our main competitors on direct routes between Colombia and North America included Avianca, American Airlines, United Airlines, Air Canada, Delta Airlines and Aerogal. COPA also participated in the Colombia-North American markets with stopovers in its Central American hub. On regional routes, our main competitors included TACA, COPA and Avianca.

Business Model for Domestic Operations

In 2007 we initiated an important project to redesign our domestic business operations with the goal of increasing efficiency and improving the margins of LAN’s short-haul operations, specifically with respect to our domestic operations in Chile and Peru. The new business model was first tested in the last quarter of 2006. A key element of this project has been to significantly increase the utilization of our narrow body fleet, which we have been successfully achieving through modified itineraries including more point-to-point and overnight flights. We removed the Boeing 737-200 aircraft from our fleet in favor of the new more efficient Airbus A320-Family Aircraft. The Airbus A320-Family Aircraft fleet utilization reached approximately 9.84 block hours per day in 2011. The transition to a newer fleet allows for lower unscheduled maintenance costs as well as cost efficiencies achieved through operating fewer fleet types and operational efficiencies, including lower fuel consumption.

Other key elements of our new business model are the reduction in sales and distribution costs through higher Internet penetration and reduced agency commissions, a faster turnaround time, and increased self-check-in service through web check-in and kiosks at airports. These initiatives, together with simplifications in back-office and support functions, will continue to allow us to expand operations while controlling fixed costs, spurring a reduction in overhead costs. We have begun to pass on these operating efficiencies to consumers through significant fare reductions, which we expect will have a strong effect of stimulating new demand.

In 2007, we implemented all aspects of this new business model in the Chilean and Peruvian domestic markets. We launched our new short-haul business model on all domestic routes in Chile in April 2007, after a marketing campaign that began in March 2007. We launched the new model in all domestic Peruvian routes in January 2007.

As a result of the implementation of this model, we increased the number of passengers transported in all domestic markets. Between 2006 and 2011, the number of passengers transported increased significantly:

 

   

112% (from 2.5 million to 5.3 million) in Chile,

 

   

123% (from 1.7 million to 3.9 million) in Peru,

 

   

200% (from 0.6 million to 1.9 million) in Argentina, and

 

   

with a minor effect in Ecuador as we just started domestic operations during 2009.

Over the past three years we have sustained constant growth in each of our domestic passenger operations, and between 2010 and 2011 we achieved an increase in domestic transported passengers at 11% which include operations within Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador.

We plan to continue with the implementation of this business model during 2012 and we are evaluating its implementation in some regional routes, as we look for ways to increase operational efficiency, encourage direct sales and self check-in, and implement new sales strategies aimed at stimulating demand.

Operations within Chile

Through Lan Airlines and Lan Express we are the leading domestic passenger airline in Chile. We have operated domestic flights in Chile since the Company’s creation in 1929. As of February 29, 2012, we flew to 13 destinations within Chile (including Santiago, but not including Easter Island, which we consider an international destination even though it is a part of Chile, because we serve it with long-haul aircraft) as well as some seasonal destinations. Lan Airlines and Lan Express have integrated passenger operations, including operations under the same two-letter “designator reservation code,” and have coordinated fare structures, scheduling and other commercial matters in order to maximize cooperative benefits and revenues for the two carriers. Our strategy is based on providing frequent service to Chile’s main destinations, offering a reliable and high quality service, and leveraging our strong brand position in Chile and abroad. We evaluate our network of domestic routes on an ongoing basis in order to achieve optimal operational efficiency and profitability. Our strategic objective is to maintain our leadership position in our domestic routes.

During 2011 we operated an average fleet of 21 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in the Chilean domestic market, and we plan to operate an average fleet of 24 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in 2012. Domestic operations in Chile were positively affected by the greater utilization of the latest-generation Airbus fleet and the retirement of the Boeing 737-200s. Nowadays, LAN’s fleet has an average age of 3 years.

The new business model was launched nationwide within Chile in April 2007. We reduced sales costs by increasing direct sales to 80% in 2011 (with 63% of our 2011 sales done through the Internet) and by reducing agency commissions from 6% to 1% in February 2007. We also increased fleet utilization, crew productivity and the average flight leg through schedule changes. Additionally, we simplified our processes, which helped to increase the self check-in rate from 81.5% in 2010 to 82.7% in 2011. Finally, we utilized the greater efficiency of the Airbus aircraft to reach operational efficiencies such as reducing the turn-around time, increasing our punctuality (which reached 87.5% in 2010 and 87% in 2011) and lowering fuel consumption. As of December 31, 2011, we operated 100% of our ASKs with our Airbus A320-Family Aircraft fleet.

According to JAC data, the Chilean domestic market as a whole transported approximately 7.0 million passengers in 2011 and it had an increase of 17.6% in terms of passengers from 5.9 million in 2010. Our domestic passenger market share in Chile was 76.4% for 2011. During 2011, our main competitors in the domestic market were Sky Airlines and PAL Airlines, which began operations in June 2009. Sky Airlines currently operates a fleet of 13 Boeing 737-200 aircraft and flies to 12 destinations. PAL Airlines currently operates a fleet of 5 Boeing 737-200 aircraft and flies to 4 destinations.

There are currently no foreign airlines participating in the Chilean domestic market. Chile permits foreign airlines to operate in Chile. Additionally, there are no regulatory barriers that prevent a foreign airline from creating a Chilean subsidiary and entering the Chilean domestic market using that subsidiary.

Operations within Peru

Lan Peru started operations in 1999 with domestic and international flights from Lima. During the past ten years, Lan Peru has expanded consistently, consolidating its domestic operations and coverage of relevant markets with a continuous focus on improving our excellence for service.

Regarding the domestic market, Peru has tremendous potential compared to other Latin American markets based on per capita travel ratios. In 2011 the domestic market reached 5.9 million passengers and 6.3 million passengers are expected for 2012.

Lan Peru has one of the most modern fleets in Latin America, operating 22 Airbus A319 aircraft, with 14 for domestic operations and 8 for regional operations. This fleet is ideal for the characteristics of Peruvian routes, as it maximizes available payload in high-altitude airports. In terms of efficiency, a uniform fleet also allows for low maintenance costs, high crew productivity and operational flexibility.

Compared to 2010, Lan Peru’s domestic operations in Peru showed an expansion of 3% (as measured in RPKs) during 2011, despite the aggressive plans from competitors. According to data provided by the Peruvian DGAC, our domestic market share in Peru was 62% for 2007, 73% for 2008, 80% for 2009, 70% for 2010 and 64% for 2011 as measured in number of passengers.

A total of 3.9 million passengers traveled on Lan Peru’s domestic Peruvian routes in 2011, which represented an increase of 3% compared to 2010. As of February 29, 2012, competitors included Peruvian Airlines, TACA (which began new flights to Arequipa in August 2011 and Puerto Maldonado in January 2012 in addition to its existing frequencies to Cusco, Juliaca, Tarapoto and Trujillo), Star Peru and LCPeru (which is a small airline previously known as LC BUSRE).

Lan Peru expects to increase the connections between cities within the country. Cusco, the country’s most important tourist destination, accounts for most of Lan Peru’s domestic operations and is served by 17 flights each day. Lan Peru flies at least three times daily to each of its 13 destinations from Lima with Tumbes as an exception (2 flights daily).

Regarding airport services, Lan Peru has over 103 domestic daily arrivals and departures. Self-check levels have grown steadily in the past years, reaching 79% for domestic routes at the end of 2011.

Operations within Argentina

Lan Argentina initiated services in June 2005, covering two Argentine domestic destinations from Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Mendoza. Between 2005 and 2007, Lan Argentina increased the number of Argentine domestic destinations to nine adding Bariloche, Iguazu, Comodoro Rivadavia, Rio Gallegos, Ushuaia, Calafate and Salta. In June 2008, Lan Argentina initiated services to Neuquen and in September 2008 to San Juan. In April 2009, Lan Argentina initiated services to Tucuman.

From June to November 2006, Lan Argentina replaced its Boeing B737-200 fleet, which consisted of five aircraft, four of which were Airbus A320 aircraft. We use these aircraft in both domestic and regional operations. The replacement of these aircraft enabled Lan Argentina to increase the scope, size and efficiency of its operations. By the end of December 2011, we operated a fleet of nine Airbus A320 aircraft in our domestic operations.

In the domestic Argentine market, Lan Argentina operates in a regulated environment in which fares sold to Argentine passengers are subject to minimum and maximum prices that vary per route. In August 2006, by presidential decree, both the floor and ceiling of the regulated price range were increased by 20%. The decree liberalized foreign ownership of Argentinean airlines, previously capped at 49%. Since this decree, the floor and ceiling of the regulated price range have been consistently increased as follows: by 18% in April 2008, by 18% in May 2008, by 20% in 2009, by 15% in June 2010 and by 10% in November 2010.

Our domestic market share in Argentina, based on our internal estimates as of December 31, 2011 amounted to 30%. Our competitors in the Argentinean market during 2011 were Aerolíneas Argentinas and its affiliate Austral Líneas Aéreas. Together, these two companies held substantially the entire remaining share of the domestic Argentine market.

Operations within Ecuador

At the end of 2008, the Civil Aviation National Board authorized us to operate domestic flights in Ecuador. In April 2009, we initiated the operations between Quito and Guayaquil.

In December 2009, LAN Ecuador operated 49 weekly flights between Quito and Guayaquil, one of Latin America’s major routes. In September 2010, the Company started daily flights to the Galapagos Islands. In November 2011, LAN Ecuador added two more weekly flights to the airport of San Cristobal in the Galapagos Islands. As of February 29, 2012, LAN Ecuador operated 63 weekly flights between Quito and Guayaquil. The Company also began daily flights between Cuenca and Quito.

In 2011, LAN Ecuador transported 1.0 million passengers in the domestic passenger market, achieving a load factor of 77% with a growth of 63% in number of passengers with respect to 2010 and a national market of 25.6%.

In Ecuador, the company’s principal competitors are TAME, Aerogal and Icaro.

Operations within Colombia

On November 26, 2010, LAN acquired Colombian airline Aires (rebranded as Lan Colombia in 2011), for US$12 million in cash, in addition to assuming net liabilities of US$87 million. The Colombian market is the second largest market in South America with over 14 million annual domestic passengers and represents a key market in LAN’s consolidation as a leading airline within the region.

At the time of the acquisition, Lan Colombia was the second largest operator in Colombia’s domestic market with approximately 20% of the market share as of December 31, 2010. This predominant position has been maintained by Lan Colombia, by holding 19.1% of the domestic market share as of December 31, 2011 (based on the Company’s internal estimations). Lan Colombia operates 22 domestic destinations. Nowadays, Lan Colombia’s fleet consisted of 9 B737-700s, 3 Airbus A 320, 10 Q200 and 4 Q400, all of which are operating leases.

LAN’s strategy through this acquisition is to replicate LAN’s “low cost” model already operating in the domestic markets of Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Peru, stimulating demand on domestic flights by providing more Colombian citizens the opportunity to use air transportation.

During 2011 the Company was focused on ensuring that the safety, on time performance and service quality standards of its new affiliate were consistent with LAN’s own high standards. To this end, Lan Colombia was successfully certified by IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) in November 2011.

In December 2011, the Company launched the LAN brand in Colombia, a significant step in the successful turnaround of the Colombian domestic passenger operations. During 2011 the Company recognized US$52 million operating loss from its Colombian passenger operations. This loss includes significant costs related to the rebranding process, marketing initiatives aimed at integrating Colombia into LAN’s regional network, migration of Lan Colombia to LAN’s IT systems, the early termination of contracts with third party suppliers.

A total of 3 million passengers traveled on Lan Colombia domestic routes in 2011, which represented an increase of 12% compared to 2010.

As we look ahead to 2012, we expect to further benefit from the turnaround process that took place during 2011. By continuing the improvement of Lan Colombia’s standards and by working along with travel agencies in Colombia, we aim to approach the Colombian corporate segment. Furthermore, we expect to phase out during 2012 the first 3 Boeing 737-700s passenger aircraft operated by Lan Colombia and replace them with LAN’s Airbus A320s. Through these initiatives, and by consolidating LAN’s presence in Colombia, we expect to reach break-even for our Colombian passenger operations by the end of 2012.

Nowadays, Lan Colombia has seven weekly frequencies to Miami, being that its only international destination. In the medium term, Lan Colombia will evaluate the expansion of international passenger operations and the advantages of any synergies it may obtain from LAN Cargo’s affiliate in Colombia, Lanco, launched in March 2009.

Passenger Alliances and Commercial Agreements

The following are our passenger alliances and partnerships as of February 29, 2012:

flying to more than 750 destinations in nearly 150 countries, schedule flexibility and reciprocal frequent flyer program benefits. During 2012 it is expected that Kingfisher, Air Berlin and Malaysian Airlines will join the alliance.

 

   

American Airlines. Since 1997, Lan Airlines has had an agreement with American Airlines, which enables Lan Airlines and American Airlines to share carrier codes for certain flights on global reservations systems, thereby enabling American Airlines passengers to purchase seats on Lan Airlines flights and vice-versa. The Department of Transportation, or DOT, granted antitrust immunity to our arrangement with American Airlines in October 1999. The antitrust immunity encompasses cooperation in commercial and operational areas such as pricing, scheduling, joint marketing efforts and reductions of airport and purchasing costs, as well as further implementation of cargo synergies in areas such as handling and other airport services. For more information see “—Regulation—U.S. Aeronautical Regulation—Certain Regulatory Authorizations in Connection with Strategic Alliances” below. Through this alliance, we currently offer service to thirty additional destinations in the United States and Canada. In 2005, the DOT granted antitrust immunity to a similar agreement between Lan Peru and American Airlines. This antitrust immunity allows enhanced coordination between Lan Peru and American Airlines, and both companies established in 2007 code-share operations between Peru and the U.S. with additional destinations in both countries. In the same year, Lan Argentina and American Airlines signed a codeshare agreement expanding the cooperation between the companies and at the end of 2011 a codeshare agreement between Lan Ecuador and American Airlines was signed, which allows to offer the American Airlines network in the U.S to all LAN passengers.

 

   

Iberia. In January 2001, Lan Airlines initiated a code-share agreement with Iberia, pursuant to which we offer passengers between ten and fourteen non-stop frequencies per week between Santiago and Madrid. In subsequent years, other destinations were added to the agreement, such as Alicante, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bilbao, Brussels, London (Heathrow), Malaga, Milan, Paris, Rome and Zurich. In 2007, Lan Ecuador and Lan Peru set up code-share agreements with Iberia for routes between Ecuador, Peru and Spain; as well as four additional European destinations with Lan Peru and seven destinations with Lan Ecuador. Nowadays, Lan Airlines, Lan Ecuador and Lan Peru offer around 17, 11 and 14 destinations in Europe, respectively.

 

   

Qantas. In July 2002, Lan Airlines initiated a code-share agreement with Qantas to operate between Santiago, Chile and Sydney, Australia with a stopover in Auckland, New Zealand. As of February 29, 2011, this code-share agreement includes daily flights operated by Lan Airlines. On March 26, 2012, Qantas will start operating 3 non-stop Santiago-Sydney frequencies by means of a code-share agreement entered into with Lan Airlines.

 

   

British Airways. In 2007, Lan Airlines initiated a code-share agreement with British Airways on Lan Airlines flights between Sao Paulo and Santiago to provide service for British Airways passengers traveling from London to Santiago through a connection in Sao Paulo. This code-share agreement also includes British Airways’ flights between Madrid and London.

 

   

Aeromexico. In 2004, we expanded our previous alliance with Aeromexico. The new agreement includes all of our passenger airlines. Under this alliance, we code-share in flights to Mexico from Chile and Peru, as well as to 18 domestic destinations in Mexico. Additionally, it provides our passengers with benefits such as easier connections and reciprocal accrual and redemption of frequent flyer program rewards.

 

   

TAM. In 2007, Lan Airlines and Lan Peru, established regional code-share agreements with TAM Linhas Aéreas. Through this agreement, LAN offers fourteen additional destinations in Brazil. LAN also code shares with Transportes Aéreos del Mercosur S.A. (“TAM Mercosur”) with respect to flights from Santiago to Asunción, Paraguay, that are operated by TAM Mercosur. These arrangements provide our passengers with reciprocal accrual and redemption of frequent flyer program rewards. In 2008, Lan Argentina established a code-share agreement with TAM from Buenos Aires to Sao Paulo and vice versa, which includes eight domestic destinations in Argentina and twelve domestic destinations in Brazil.

 

   

Cathay Pacific. In May 2010, Lan Airlines initiated a code-share agreement with Cathay Pacific to operate between Santiago and Hong Kong, through connections in Los Angeles, New York and Auckland, and in November 2010, Lan Peru initiated a code-share agreement with Cathay Pacific to operate between Lima and Hong Kong, through connections in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Japan Airlines. In September 2011, Lan Airlines initiated a code-share agreement with Japan Airlines to operate between Santiago and Narita, through connections in Los Angeles and New York. Nowadays, Japan Airlines is currently code sharing with LAN to provide services for JAL passengers travelling from Narita to Santiago. We are in the process of obtaining the approvals required by Japanese authorities in order to start code sharing with Japan Airlines and be able to provide services for LAN passengers travelling from Santiago to Narita. We expect to obtain such approvals during the second quarter of 2012.

 

   

Jetstar Airways. In November 2010, LAN signed an Interline Agreement and a Special Prorate Agreement (to sell Jetstar Airways flights) with Jetstar Airways in order to broaden the destinations offered to LAN’s customers, particularly in the domestic markets of New Zealand, Australia, and South East Asia.

 

   

JetBlue. During March 2011, LAN signed an Interline Agreement and a Special Prorate Agreement (to sell JetBlue flights) with JetBlue increasing the connection opportunities between New York and Boston, Washington, Chicago, Pittsburgh and many other US cities through JetBlue’s hub in the John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.

 

   

Other alliances and partnerships: Since 2005, we have had a code-share agreement with Korean Air. Under this agreement we place our code on Korean Air flights between Los Angeles and Seoul, while Korean Air places its code on our flights from Los Angeles to Santiago. Since 1999, Lan Airlines has been in an alliance with Alaska Airlines, which permits us to provide customers with service between Chile and three destinations in the west coast of the U.S. and Canada. Reciprocal accrual and redemption of frequent flyer program rewards is also available for LAN customers flying on Alaska Airlines flights and vice versa.

Passenger Marketing and Sales

Even though we market our services under the common “LAN” brand, we differentiate our marketing strategies between our long-haul and short-haul services.

Our long-haul marketing strategy emphasizes attributes valued by our international customers, including reliability, high quality on-board and ground service, comfort, comprehensive coverage of key South American markets and frequent service to major overseas gateways such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Madrid and Sydney. In order to strengthen our market position, we have continued improving our passenger cabins and service and constantly monitor our corporate image. As such, in December 2008 and May 2009 we completed a retrofit program for our Boeing 767-300 and for our Airbus A340-300 fleet respectively, merging the Business and First Classes cabins into a Premium Business Class featuring full-flat seats, new entertainment units for both Premium Business and Economy cabins, together with a new on-board service. We invested US$124 million in this retrofit program for all our long haul passenger aircraft, which aims to give our passengers a sense of a “shorter” and more pleasant flight. For our Business passengers, our cabin features an on-board service aimed at providing the passenger with more time to rest, and for our Economy Class passengers, our upgraded entertainment units aim to make the flight a more enjoyable one. In October 2010 LAN decided to renew the seat configuration of its Boeing 767-300, which included improvements that increased the capacity of each airplane from 221 to 238 seats. The original configuration had 191 seats in the Economy cabin and 30 seats in the Premium Business cabin. The new seat configuration increases the number of seats in the Economy cabin to 220 and decreases the number of seats in the Premium Business cabin to 18. This seat configuration will be used in those markets with a higher tourism demand and/or lower corporate travel demand. This strategy allows us to obtain higher revenues and a more efficient cost management

Our long-haul fleet plan includes the incorporation of the 32 new Boeing 787 in the second half of 2012. LAN will be the first airline in Latin America, and one of the first in the world, to receive this model whose latest-generation technology and cabin innovations represent a revolution in the airline industry. Passengers will experience the Boeing 787’s advantages in the form of higher cabin humidity and increased comfort. The acquisition of these Boeing 787s will allow us to reach new destinations and boost LAN’s existing services while also continuing to increase the efficiency of our operations and reduce our carbon footprint.

Our short-haul operations are designed to better match the customers’ needs in those routes, which are punctuality, reliability, higher frequencies, modern aircraft and efficient operations. As such, these routes now feature modern planes, with leather seats, increased frequencies with more point-to-point flights, improved punctuality and streamlined processes including Internet sales, web check-in and airport self-check-in. We completed the phase-out of our Boeing B737-200 fleet in 2008 and replaced it with modern Airbus Family Aircraft such as A320, A319 and A318. Nowadays, all our domestic operations (which include Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia) follow the same business model, which aims to make air travel accessible to more people through low fares supported by a low-cost operation based on the efficient use of our resources.

Our short-haul fleet is also growing and will continue being renewed during the next six years with the acquisition of 89 additional Airbus 320 family aircraft. These aircraft have the latest security standards in the industry, as well as improvements in the interior cabin design and new seat technology. They are 13.0% percent lighter than the current models sold by Airbus, and therefore they allow lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. These aircraft are also are more comfortable for passengers since they have leather seats with integrated foam and more in-flight entertainment screens. In addition to this, the upper bins include mirrors that ensure visibility of carry-on luggage among other improvements of interior design. All changes in these aircraft were designed to improve the travel experience for our passengers on domestic and regional flights.

On November 26, 2010, LAN acquired Aires (rebranded as Lan Colombia in 2011), a Colombian carrier, which holds an average of 19.0% of the domestic market share as of December 31, 2011. This important addition to the LAN group made it possible for LAN to start operating within Colombia, adding 22 domestic destinations to the already existing international operation.

We are constantly focused on delivering the services and flight items valued by customers in order to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and we continuously monitor our customers’ preferences through surveys and perception studies. As a result, we created the new Premium Economy class on some regional routes in response to comments made by our business travelers. The Premium Economy program grants our customers preferential check-in and boarding, access to our VIP lounges, priority baggage claim, exclusive cabins with only twelve passengers, and personalized attention by our cabin attendants, among other benefits.

As mentioned above, we have been implementing a new business model in all our domestic operations (which include Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia) that seeks to make air travel accessible to more people through low fares supported by a low-cost operation based on the efficient use of our resources. During 2011 LAN received several awards solidifying the Company’s market position. These awards included Airline of the Year 2010 (AirFinance Journal) and Best E-commerce Website 2010 (E-commerce LATAM).

Branding

In March 2004, we launched our new “LAN” brand to bring together, under one strong international name, all our local brands such as “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” and “LAN Ecuador.” We developed our new brand and corporate image after an extensive process supported by a leading global branding agency.

Our corporate image is based on two core concepts: reliability and warmth, which support our promise of the best travel experience to, from and within South America. We are also committed to offer our customers with the best coverage to, from and within South America, and to promote sustainable tourism, helping develop the regions where we operate.

During 2005 and 2006, we focused on advancing the transition to our new brand image. This included the gradual repainting of our fleet, which was completed in the second quarter of 2006. Our commercial strategy, centered on exploiting the LAN alliance concept, has been widely recognized, as exemplified by Airline Business magazine’s recognition of us in 2004 with its “Airline Strategy Award, Marketing.”

Using a single brand enabled our customers to better understand the common service and operating standards among our airlines, and our new image improved our visibility, which enhanced flexibility and increased the efficiency of our marketing efforts. It also provided a platform for the strategic use in mature markets of the following three powerful sub-brands, all related to the LAN root:

 

   

the www.lan.com website for the convenience of our web booking engine and services platform;

 

   

LANPASS for our frequent flyer program; and

 

   

LANTOURS, a sub-brand through which we offer travel packages, hotels and other ancillary products, as well as promote tourism activities to and from the regions in which we operate. LANTOURS took hold first in Chile and is gradually being introduced into other key markets.

In December of 2011, we successfully finished the rebranding process of Aires as LAN, which required the painting of around 70.0% of its fleet; changing the image of all its sales offices and personnel to LAN; and most importantly, transforming Aires’ service to comply with LAN standards, thus fully incorporating Colombia’s operation to our current brand architecture.

Our regular brand tracking and marketing effectiveness measurements show outstanding results in brand consistency and recognition, improving year after year, with marketing investments managed at healthily stable rates. As the corporate values behind our umbrella brand encompass attributes applicable to both operations, long haul and short haul, a single brand strategy has resulted in significant savings, as we only have to promote one master brand, thereby increasing the efficiency of our marketing efforts.

Distribution Channels

We use direct and indirect distribution channels. In the past few years, we have focused on streamlining our distribution strategy in order to reduce costs and enhance the effectiveness of our commercial efforts. This effort has resulted in efficiency gains, and we believe it should lead to further benefits in the future.

Travel agents conduct indirect sales that accounted for approximately 43.0% of passengers during 2011. We paid these travel agents standard commissions ranging from 0% to 7.0% depending on the market and the ticket region type (domestic / international). Consistent with our efforts to reduce commission costs, and in line with current market practices, in recent years we have reduced standard commissions in several markets. However, we are now charging a fee to customers for sales done through our own ticket offices or call centers in most countries, leaving the Internet as the only free-of-charge distribution channel.

Travel agents obtain airline travel information and issue airline tickets through Global Distribution Systems, or GDSs, that enable them to make reservations on flights from a large number of airlines. We participate actively in all major international GDSs, including Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo and Worldspan. In return for access to these systems, we pay transaction fees that are generally based on the number of reservations booked through each system. As part of its continued commitment to its passengers, in late 2009, LAN signed a series of agreements with Sabre, one of the major suppliers of IT solutions in the global airline industry. Through these agreements, Sabre will provide the Company with the most advanced technology in reservation and distribution systems, optimization of routes and operational planning. The process of implementing the new system platforms comprises a period of adjustment and migration that will last between two and three years until its full implementation. These agreements represent a major step in terms of innovation by implementing the industry’s most advanced technology to streamline business and operational processes involved in the service the Company provides to its customers. These agreements will serve to provide itineraries that best fit the needs of passengers and to provide simpler, agile and efficient services in airports and in the sales and distribution channels, improving LAN’s services in each of the stages of the travel experience.

Direct channels refer to sales by our own ticket offices, contact-centers and website. In 2011, direct bookings accounted for approximately 57.0% of all our passengers.

We have an extensive sales and marketing network in over thirty countries consisting of more than 155 domestic and international points-of-sale owned by us and approximately 45 general sales agents.

Our contact-centers support the growth of our operations constituting a sales and a multi-service channel. During 2011, we continued to grow and develop new services to match the increasing expectations of our clients and the growth of our direct sales channels, in particular the www.lan.com website. Our main contact-center located in Santiago accounts for 781 agents (of which 276 are home-based) and 284 agents in Lima. We complement our contact-center’s operations with third-party service providers that add approximately 600 agents who are located in Santiago, Lima and Buenos Aires. In total, all the centers handle more than 30,000 calls/contacts per day, which mainly originate from the regions where we fly (South America, North America, Europe and Australasia) and cover four languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and German). We have continually upgraded our systems by incorporating technological advances to enhance efficiency and customer service.

Our website, www.lan.com, is an integral part of our commercial, marketing and service efforts. Together with other direct sales initiatives, our website provides us with an important tool to reduce our distribution costs. Our Internet-related sales have increased significantly in recent years, by 21.9% in 2009 compared to 2008, 22.0% in 2010 compared to 2009, and 22.6% 2011 compared to 2010, which amounted to US$796.4 million in 2011. We are continually improving our website, a key element of our new short-haul model, so that the technological platform can support the expected future growth.

Besides serving as a sales channel, we have utilized our website as a tool to provide value-added services and enhance communications. We send weekly promotional e-mails to more than 4.8 million subscribers. Members of our frequent flyer program receive their monthly balances and other information by e-mail and can access the data and redeem awards through our website. We have an active online marketing program which brings visitors to the website from search engines and travel-related websites.

During 2009 we improved several services on the website. We introduced the flexible award redemption service, which enables LANPASS members to obtain flights with their kilometers at any time of year. We also updated our Flight Information System to ensure accurate, real time information. In addition, we continued to promote our web-based check-in service for domestic and international flights. This system allows those passengers who are not checking-in bags, to go directly to the gate, and the remaining checked-in passengers, to leave their bags at a special bag drop counter and proceed to the gate. In addition to web-based check-in, we have self-check kiosks in 13 airports in Chile, seven airports in Peru, three airports in Argentina; three airports in Ecuador and eight in Colombia. As of December 31, 2011, the kiosk and web check-in utilization rate increased to 83.0% for domestic routes in Chile, 80.0% for domestic routes in Peru, 54.0% for domestic routes in Argentina and 50.0% for domestic routes in Ecuador. Also in 2010 we launched our LAN.com Mobile service, enabling our customers to check-in, verify their flight status and other itineraries using their internet-enabled mobile phones.

In 2010 LAN was recognized as the “Latin American E-commerce Company of the Year” by the Latin American e-Commerce Institute.

Electronic Ticketing

In 1997, we introduced electronic tickets, commonly referred to as e-tickets, and have since worked to increase their use. E-tickets are a key element of our sales efforts through the Internet and our call centers and they also produce important simplifications in our back-office, enabling us to significantly reduce distribution costs. Since 2008, the Company has reached a 100% penetration of e-ticketing on all LAN routes.

Also, during 2010 we completed the implementation of interline e-ticketing with all of our oneworld® partners.

Advertising and Promotional Activities

Our advertisement and promotional efforts are aimed at enhancing our brand positioning and supporting specific aspects of our commercial efforts. These activities include the use of television, print, outdoors and radio advertisements as well as direct and online marketing.

During 2011, our campaigns where mainly focused on continuing stimulating demand by implementing a pricing strategy that has made flying more accessible in our domestic markets and within South America to those traveling especially for tourism. To this end, we are proud of having entered into partnerships with tour operators and tourism government agencies across the region (SERNATUR in Chile, PROMPERU in Peru, ProExport Colombia among others), which allowed us to reach new customers and to promote local and regional tourism in the markets where we operate. This is supported by the unique coverage and travel experience that we offer to those passengers traveling to, from and within South America.

We have also innovated our demand-generating advertising by promoting pre-low seasons special offers, thus making our demand curves more stable and making it possible for us to offer to our customers all our destinations at very accessible prices throughout the year.

Frequent Flyer Program

Our frequent flyer program is called LANPASS. The objective of LANPASS is to generate incremental revenue and customer retention through customer loyalty and targeted marketing. Worldwide, as of February 29, 2012, LANPASS has approximately 5.8 million members.

Customers earn kilometers in their LANPASS accounts based on distance flown and class of ticket purchased, or by using services of other participants in the LANPASS program. Based on an award schedule, customers can redeem kilometers for free tickets, upgrades or other products. Under our current frequent flyer program, our passengers are grouped into one standard level and three different elite levels based on each passenger’s flying behavior. These different groups determine which benefits customers are eligible to receive, such as free upgrades on a space-available basis, VIP lounge access and preferred boarding and check-in.

Aiming to increase redemption levels and expand redemption alternatives, in 2011 LANPASS increased the number of price levels for the redemption of tickets from three up to 14 (allowing the increase of number of seats available for redemption of kilometers), in order to give a better availability and flexibility for the customers. These new redemption price offers resulted in an increase of 28.0% in kilometers redeemed and 32.0% in award tickets redeemed by LANPASS’ members in 2011.

LANPASS has highly rated partners, including other airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, retailers, and credit card issuers from the main financial institutions in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina Uruguay, United States and, starting from 2012, also in Colombia. These partnerships give our customers the opportunity to accrue additional kilometers for using their services.

Through the incorporation of additional partners in 2011, LAN customers accrued 43.0% more kilometers than in 2010, by using other services different from the services offered by LAN and other airlines. In the banking segment, during 2010, LANPASS renewed its partnership with Santander Chile for another five years, spreading LANPASS accrual from credit/debit card to all retail banking offering. LANPASS also launched a new partnership with BBVA, a leading bank in Argentina, began to issue credit cards in the United States with U.S. Bank, and increased our offering in redemption catalogs in Brazil with Banco Itau.

In the non banking segment, LANPASS continues to leverage its member’s purchase behavior to partner with leading players in the markets and become the most attractive loyalty program in the home markets. In the past two years, LANPASS has entered into new industries, such as retail, supermarkets, automotive, real estate, drugstores and health care centers. As an active member of the oneworld® alliance, we have reciprocal frequent-flyer agreements with all oneworld® carriers. In addition to this, we have reciprocal agreements with other carriers, such as Alaska Airlines, Aeromexico and TAM. These agreements allow LANPASS members to accrue and redeem LANPASS kilometers on oneworld® flights.

The LANPASS frequent flyer program aims to be the leading loyalty program in all of LAN’s home markets. In the past couple of years, we have implemented a number of marketing initiatives to increase customer’s engagement with the program outside Chile. In 2011, membership in LANPASS grew 32.0% in Peru, 27.0% in Ecuador and 32.0% in Argentina. Furthermore, the number of passengers flying with LAN, who are members of our LANPASS frequent flyer program, grew 7% during 2011.

Our cargo business generated revenues of US$1,280.7 million in 2010 and US$1,576.5 million in 2011. This represented 28.3% and 27.6% of our total revenues, respectively. Cargo revenues declined 32.1% between 2008 and 2009 primarily due to the global economic crisis that affected the industry and the decline in salmon exports from Chile due to the ISA virus. Nevertheless, during 2010 and 2011 revenues increased 43.0% and 23.1%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis as we took advantage of the recovery of world cargo markets.

Our cargo business generally operates on the same route network used by our passenger airline business, which is supplemented by freighter-only operations. Overall, it includes approximately 86 destinations (over 66 are operated by passenger and/or freighter aircraft and approximately 20 operated only by freighter aircraft). We complement our own international operations through coordination with our regional affiliates, MasAir in Mexico, ABSA in Brazil and Lanco in Colombia. ABSA also operates in the Brazilian domestic market since March 2009. We carry cargo for a variety of customers, including other international air carriers, freight-forwarding companies, export oriented companies and individual consumers. For information about our fleet, see “—Fleet—General” below.

We transport cargo in four ways: (i) in the bellies of our passenger aircraft, (ii) in our own dedicated freighter fleet, (iii) in belly space that we purchase from other airlines and, (iv) in aircraft that we charter or lease pursuant to ACMI contracts (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance). Under the latter, which are also known as “wet-leases,” the lessor operates the aircraft and provides the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance pursuant to short- and medium-term contracts.

Our international cargo operations are headquartered in Miami, whose geographical location positions it as the natural gateway for Latin American imports and exports to and from the United States. Since 2001 we have operated in our 380,000 square-foot facilities within the Miami International Airport. In 2010 we upgraded this facility to enhance our ability to handle perishables and we leased an additional 117,000 square-foot warehouse close to our main facilities. The United States accounts for the majority of the cargo traffic to and from Latin America. Besides being the main market for Latin American exports by air, the United States is also the main supplier of goods, such as high-tech equipment or spare parts, transported by air to Latin American countries. We operate to three destinations in Europe: to Madrid, which we serve via passenger aircraft (using our flights from Santiago, Lima and Guayaquil), Frankfurt (through both passenger flights and freighter operations since October 2002, when we signed our partnership with Lufthansa Cargo (for more information on this agreement see “—Cargo Agreements” below), and Amsterdam (through freighter operations since October 2005).

In Latin America, the principal origins of our cargo are Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina and Brazil, which represent a large part of our northbound traffic. And for our southbound flights, Brazil is the main import market.

In general terms, cargo flows are unidirectional. This characteristic is a key determinant in the structure of cargo operations as well as in the commercial conditions in the cargo business. This is especially relevant in markets featuring structural imbalances between inbound and outbound flows or during specific periods of such disequilibrium. Lack of demand in one particular direction may force airlines to rely on different markets in order to maximize loads on return flights. Furthermore, demand weakness in one direction may limit the capacity that is profitable to allocate to some routes, therefore creating pressure on fares in order to compensate for weaker revenues in one particular direction. The evolution of our international cargo operations has always been affected by the flow imbalances of the Latin American cargo markets, resulting in a dramatic shift in the relative weight of southbound and northbound cargo flows throughout the years. For example, from 2002 to 2003 our international operations were characterized by very strong export traffic out of Latin America, but gradual increases in import demand, as well as the deceleration of export growth, led to more balanced cargo flows during 2004. Further extension of this trend led to excess demand on southbound routes since 2005.

We have designed our operations, route network and commercial strategies with the flexibility required to respond to changing conditions. As such, during 2003 we allocated additional capacity to northbound routes and adjusted fares on northbound routes in response to excess demand. During 2004 we gradually adjusted our operations to leverage a more balanced demand environment by performing an increased number of direct roundtrips between key export and import markets. However, weakness in exports since 2005 has driven us to support the northbound segment of certain routes with stopovers in additional export markets, to reduce northbound fares to stimulate demand and to raise southbound fares.

The flexibility that this business model allows based on adaptation to changes in market trends was key for LAN’s operations in 2009 when the business was affected by the contraction of import and export markets in response to the global economic crisis. In addition LAN Cargo saw a sharp drop in salmon exports from Chile as a result of an outbreak of the ISA virus. Such flexibility has also been a key element in the recuperation and growth experienced by LAN Cargo since 2010.

The sharp contraction of LAN’s traditional markets in 2009 - imports into the region and exports from the region – followed by the rapid recovery of demand in 2010 required the Company to fully lever the flexibility of its business model. During 2009 the Company implemented of a series of measures such as the adjustment of its capacity through a reduction in the number of planes rented under Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance (“ACMI”) agreements and adjustments in the operations of its own cargo fleet of Boeing 767F freighters. This process was also reinforced by the incorporation of two new Boeing 777-200F, the most modern and efficient cargo aircraft of their type in the world, with a capacity of 104tons of freight and a range of 9,045 kilometers when carrying its maximum payload. This significant investment allowed LAN to consolidate its regional competitiveness by positioning it as the first airline in the region, and only the second internationally, to use these latest-generation cargo planes.

The Company also achieved a significant regional expansion in 2009. In March, LAN Cargo launched Lanco, a subsidiary in Colombia, which began operations after successfully obtaining the necessary operational and technical certification. It launched its services with two Boeing 767-300Fs, with a capacity for 54 tons of freight, connecting the cities of Bogotá and Medellín with Miami. It is important to note that Colombia is Latin America’s largest market for exports by air to the United States reaching an estimated 200,000 tons annually.

In addition, in March 2009, the Company’s cargo subsidiary in Brazil, ABSA, began operations in that country’s domestic market, with one flight daily, from Monday through Friday, between the cities of Sao Paulo and Manaus. On this route, ABSA operates an advanced-technology Boeing 767-300F with a capacity of 54 tons. This route accounts for a large part of Brazil’s airfreight traffic. Manaus is the country’s fourth largest city in terms of GDP, with a large number of companies, principally part of the electronics sector, in its industrial pole. The special tax incentives offered by the Amazon capital of Manaus as part of efforts to promote the area’s development, make it an attractive alternative for exporter and importer clients.

During 2010, revenue growth in the cargo business continued to reflect the Company’s ability to exploit the expansion in global cargo flows, as well as the development of key strategic initiatives. Active capacity management, with the purpose of optimizing capacity assignation coupled with new revenue management tools to manage cargo rates in response to demand, enabled LAN Cargo to benefit from the growth trends seen in import markets to Latin America, especially to Brazil. The expansion of operations to Europe utilizing the new Boeing 777-200 freighter fleet strengthened the Company’s competitive position and further diversified its revenue base. Additionally, through its Brazilian affiliate, ABSA, the Company continued to strengthen domestic cargo operations in Brazil. During 2010, ABSA launched operations from Sao Paulo to Recife and Fortaleza and added a second daily flight from Sao Paulo to Manaus. The Company also added capacity by securing three leased Boeing 767-300F, two of which were incorporated in late 2010 and one in early 2011. Furthermore, the Company continues to successfully optimize the capacity of the bellies of passenger aircraft to transport cargo, maximizing the synergies of the Company’s integrated passenger and cargo operation.

During 2011, cargo revenues grew 23.1%, reflecting the increase in traffic, with a growth of 11.5% of RTK. Capacity, measured in ATKs, increased 12.4% during 2011, resulting in a decrease of 0.5 points in load factors compared to 2010, reaching 69.6% in 2011. Yields increased 10.4% compared to 2010, driven by continuous improvement in revenue management tools, route optimization and higher transfer of costs through the surcharge fuel, increasing revenue per ATK in 9.5%.

The Company continues to increase selectively its capacity in order to meet demand in major markets where it operates. The growth of import flows in Latin America continues, but the weakening of cargo markets around the world has stimulated competition in South America, especially Brazil, where carriers from other regions have started operations. On the other hand, export volumes are recovering, partly driven by a gradual resurgence of exports of salmon in Chile. This capacity growth is being primarily fulfilled by the Company with the use of three Boeing 767-300F freighters, delivered to the Company between November 2010 and January 2011 with the purpose to increase its capacity on routes from Latin America to North America and Europe and routes between United States and Mexico. Furthermore, the Company continues to optimize its cargo capacity by using the bellies of passenger aircraft for cargo purposes, maximizing in this way the synergies of integrating the operations of both businesses.

During the last six years, we also improved our competitive position as key operators reduced their operations, and competitors such as UPS and FedEx either downsized their operations or exited some markets. Since mid-2004, competition increased as regional carriers added capacity, but despite this increase in competition, we have been able to maintain solid market shares in large part because of the efficient utilization of our fleet and network. Today, on Latin America-United States routes, our main competitors are Centurion, Transportes Aéreos Mercantiles Panamericanos S.A., or TAMPA, and Polar Air, and on the Latin American-Europe routes, our main competitors are Cargolux, Lufthansa Cargo, Martinair, Air France-KLM, and recently Emirates Airlines.

Cargo Agreements

Since 2002, Lan Cargo and Lufthansa Cargo have had a block space agreement between Europe and Latin America. As part of this agreement, Lan Cargo allocates space to Lufthansa Cargo on its flights between selected cities in Latin America and Europe, and Lufthansa Cargo allocates space to Lan Cargo on its flights between Europe and Brazil and Argentina.

We also have agreements with Asian carriers such as Korean Airlines, JAL, China Airlines, Air China and Cathay Pacific through which Lan Cargo receives space allocations from these airlines to move our cargo from Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai and Hong Kong to Los Angeles and Miami connecting with our network. In exchange, Lan Cargo provides them with space from these same two hubs in the United States to all Latin American destinations and also feeds them with westbound cargo.

Marketing and Sales

Our sales and marketing efforts are carried out either directly when we have a local office or through general sales agents. In Latin America we have our own offices in all key markets. In the United States we have our own offices in Miami, New York and Los Angeles, and work with representatives in various other cities. In Europe we have offices in Frankfurt and Madrid and use agents in other key cities. Finally, in Asia all our sales efforts are done through general sales agents. In total, we maintain a network of more than forty independent cargo sales agencies domestically and internationally.

Our cargo marketing strategy emphasizes our combination of freighter and passenger aircraft cargo capacity, which allows customers to ship large, bulky freight, as well as smaller, high-density cargo, fresh products, express shipments, and other types of cargo. Our cargo marketing strategy also emphasizes our high-quality services, scheduling flexibility and punctuality. On some routes, Lan Cargo offers special, value-added products such as Positive Flight Specific or FS, which enables the customer to choose a specific passenger flight to transport its goods. During 2010 we also launched the first phase of a new revenue management project aimed at optimizing yields. In 2011, we obtained the first benefits of a better capacity and overbooking administration, and better pricing practices.

Cargo-Related Investigations

In February 2006 the European Commission (“EC”), in conjunction with the Department of Justice of the United States (“DOJ”), initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them Lan Cargo, LAN’s cargo subsidiary) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the European and United States air cargo markets. On December 26, 2007, the European competition authorities notified Lan Cargo and LAN of the initiation of proceedings against twenty-five cargo airlines, among them Lan Cargo, for allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the airfreight business.

On January 21, 2009, Lan Cargo announced that it had reached a plea agreement with the DOJ in relation to the DOJ’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the plea agreement, Lan Cargo agreed to pay a fine of US$88 million. In addition, ABSA also reached a plea agreement with the DOJ and agreed to pay a fine of US$21 million. These amounts were stipulated to be paid over a five-year payment schedule starting in 2009. As of December 31, 2012, the pending amount to be paid during the next four years is approximately US$54 million and has been recorded within “Other Accounts Payable.”

On November 9, 2010 the EC imposed fines to 11 air carriers for a total amount of €800 million (equivalent to approximately US$1.1 billion). The fine imposed against Lan Cargo and its parent company, LAN Airlines, totaled €8.2 million (equivalent to approximately US$10.9 million). The Company provisioned US$25 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 for such fines, and maintained this provision until the fine was imposed in 2010. This was the lowest fine applied by the EC, which includes a significant reduction due to the Company’s cooperation with the Commission during the course of the investigation. In accordance with European Union law, on January 24, 2011 this administrative decision was appealed by Lan Cargo and Lan Airlines to the General Court in Luxembourg. Any judgment by the General Court may also be appealed to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a US$14.1 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).

The investigation by the DOJ prompted the filing of numerous civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including Lan Cargo and Lan Airlines, including fifty-four in the United States. The cases filed in the United States were consolidated in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York and the original complaint was subsequently amended to include additional airlines, including ABSA. On May 11, 2011, Lan Cargo announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the class action plaintiffs in relation to this litigation. As per the settlement agreement, Lan Cargo agreed to pay US$59.7 million. Furthermore, ABSA also reached a settlement agreement with class action plaintiffs and agreed to pay US$6.3 million. The amounts were paid to plaintiffs’ counsel escrow account in 2011.

In February 2006 the Canadian Competition Bureau (“CCB”), in conjunction with the DOJ, initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them Lan Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the Canadian air cargo markets. Given the current stage of the proceeding, it is not possible at this time to anticipate with any precision the outcome of the investigation. The CCB’s investigation prompted the filing of four separate civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many

airlines, including Lan Cargo and Lan Airlines in Canada. . On January 31, 2012, the respective Board of Directors of Lan Airlines and Lan Cargo approved a settlement agreement with the class actions plaintiffs. As per the settlement agreement, Lan Airlines and Lan Cargo agreed to pay the amount of CAD$700,000 (Canadian Dollars). The settlement agreement and payment are pending court approval.

On April 5, 2008, Brazilian authorities notified ABSA of the initiation of administrative proceedings before the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (the Brazilian Antitrust Authority) against several cargo airlines and airline officers, among them ABSA, for allegations of anticompetitive practices regarding fuel surcharges in the air cargo business. Given the current stage of the proceedings, it is not possible at this time to anticipate with any precision the outcome of the civil actions filed against Lan Cargo, although it is expected to be a lengthy process.

In June 2008, the Korean Fair Trade Commission notified LAN of an investigation into the air cargo industry and its non-compliance with the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act and has requested information and documentation from LAN, which LAN duly submitted. On May 26, 2010 the Korean Fair Trade Commission announced the imposition of penalties against 29 other airlines and excluded LAN from further investigation.

The New Zealand Commerce Commission also initiated an investigation into potential anti-competitive activities in the international air cargo markets and requested information and documentation from LAN, which LAN duly submitted. On December 15, 2008, the New Zealand Commerce Commission announced it would focus its investigation on ten airlines and excluded LAN from further investigation.

We operate different aircraft types as we perform various different missions ranging from short-haul domestic trips to long-haul trans-continental flights. We have selected our aircraft based on the ability to effectively and efficiently serve these missions while trying to minimize the number of aircraft families we operate.

For short-haul domestic and regional flights we operate the Airbus A320-Family aircraft and, since the acquisition of Aires (rebranded as LAN Colombia in 2011), we also operate the Boeing 737-700 aircraft, the Dash 8-200 aircraft, and the Dash 8-400 aircraft. The Airbus A320 Family that we currently operate has been incorporated into our fleet pursuant to operating leases or have been purchased directly from Airbus pursuant to various purchase agreements since 1999. The last purchase was made in June 2011, where we ordered 20 A320 NEO aircraft. Consequently, as of February 29, 2012 we had outstanding orders for seven Airbus A319 aircraft, 52 Airbus A320 aircraft, 10 Airbus A321 aircraft for delivery between 2012 and 2016 and 20 Airbus A320 NEO aircraft for delivery between 2017 and 2018. Our purchase contracts with Airbus provide for some flexibility with regard to future changes in aircraft types and delivery dates. We believe that our fleet of A320-Family Aircraft will allow us to provide broader service across Latin America as well as the domestic markets that we serve given their longer range. We also believe that they will enable us to increase efficiency levels through reduced fuel consumption and maintenance costs.

For long-haul passenger and cargo flights we operate the Airbus A340-300 aircraft, the Boeing 767-300 passenger and cargo aircraft and Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft. The Boeing 767-300 aircraft’s size and range provides an optimal alternative for most of our long-haul passenger and cargo routes. Additionally, the commonality between the passenger and dedicated cargo versions allows us to leverage the ensuing economies of scale. We believe that these aircraft provide a key efficiency advantage over our peers, especially in the cargo business. The Boeing 767-300 aircraft that we currently operate have been incorporated into our fleet pursuant to operating leases or have been purchased directly from Boeing pursuant to various purchase orders since 1997. As of February 29, 2012 we had outstanding orders for 13 Boeing 767-300 aircraft. We also operate five Airbus A340-300 aircraft for long-haul routes. Given their range and four-engine configuration, these aircraft are well suited to perform trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific missions out of Santiago. In the future, we will operate Boeing 787 aircraft for our long-haul fleet, for which we have placed 26 orders and committed six operating leases. We expect to receive our first Boeing 787 in 2012. For our cargo operations, we operate 12 Boeing 767 freighter and 2 Boeing 777 freighter. We expect to receive two Boeing 777 freighter aircraft during 2012. For more information, see “Item 10. Additional Information—Material Contracts”.

During the first quarter of 2009, we initiated the process of incorporation of winglets, advanced technology devices, in all our passenger and Freighter Boeing 767-300 aircraft. Winglets are placed on the wings of an aircraft causing an approximate 5% reduction in fuel consumption. The total investment in this project amounts to approximately US$100 million. As of February 29, 2012, 43 aircraft have been modified and US$76 million of the total investment has been disbursed. We expect to continue with the implementation of this project during 2012 as we continue to receive Boeing 767s.

Fleet Leasing and Financing Arrangements

Our financing and leasing methods include borrowing from financial institutions and leasing under financial leases, tax leases and operating leases.

In 2000, to finance Airbus aircraft, LAN entered into a US$1.3 billion umbrella credit facility with a syndicate of international financial institutions under which the Company borrowed in the form of separate loans in connection with the specific financing requirements of each Airbus aircraft (including pre-delivery and long-term financing). This umbrella facility was guaranteed by the English, French and German Export Credit Agencies. The repayment profile for each aircraft financed under the facility was for a period of up to eighteen years. Under this financing package LAN incorporated Airbus aircraft into its fleet through operating leases, financial leases and tax leases. Even though this facility covered the aircraft scheduled to be delivered under our 1998/9 Airbus purchase agreements through December 31, 2006, the Company decided to fund the 2006 deliveries with a new facility negotiated in 2006. This new facility financed the acquisition of

 

   

eight Airbus A319 delivered in 2006;

 

   

five A318 and two A320 delivered in 2007;

 

   

ten A318, two A319 and two A320 delivered in 2008; and

 

   

three A319 delivered in the first quarter of 2009.

This new US$920 million facility is similar to the previous one as there are separate loans drawn in connection with the specific financing requirements of each Airbus aircraft and is also based on support guarantees from the European Export Credit Agencies namely Compagnie Francaise d’Assurance pour le Commerce Exterieur (Coface), Euler Hermes Kreditversicherungs-AG (Euler Hermes) and the Secretary of State of Her Britannic Majesty’s Government acting by the Export Credits Guarantee Department (ECGD). Under this financing package LAN incorporated into its fleet Airbus aircraft through financial leases. The facility covered 85.0% of the purchase price of each aircraft plus the associated export credit agencies premium. The remaining 15.0% was funded directly by the Company. There is no remaining drawdown availability under this facility.

Between 2004 and 2006, LAN ordered 15 Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft and freighters for delivery between 2005 and 2008. In 2004 the Company structured a new syndicated facility for US$260 million to finance the entire cost of the two Boeing 767-300 freighters delivered in 2005 and the first Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft delivered in 2006. In 2005, LAN finalized the syndicated facility to fund the purchase of four Boeing 767-300 passenger and freighter aircraft for delivery in 2006. Between 2005 and 2006, LAN also finalized two additional syndicated facilities to fund the purchase of the remaining eight Boeing 767-300 Passenger aircraft. Three of these aircraft were delivered in 2007, and five were delivered in 2008. Each loan with respect to these aircraft is guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“Ex-Im Bank”) with a twelve-year profile for the financing of 85.0% of the aircraft value.

In June 12, 2005, LAN finished the payments with respect to a Boeing 767-200 aircraft that was held under a financial lease. This aircraft was subleased to a third party at market rate until December 2011. As of February 29, 2012, the aforementioned aircraft was in process of being returned by the third party to LAN.

In 2006, LAN also ordered three additional Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft for delivery between 2009 and 2010. The first aircraft, which was delivered in November 2009, was financed through the issuance of an Ex-Im-Bank guaranteed bond and through LAN’s own funds (85.0% and 15.0%, respectively). The remaining two aircraft were financed through a new Ex-Im Bank guaranteed facility and through LAN’s own funds (85.0% and 15.0%, respectively).

In April 2007, LAN entered into two lease agreements with GE Commercial Aviation Services for the lease of two Boeing 777-200LR freighters, for delivery in 2009. In October 2007, we signed a purchase agreement with the Boeing Company for two additional Boeing 777-200LR freighters to be delivered in 2011 and 2012. In March 2010, LAN and the Boeing Company agreed to switch the first Boeing 777-200LR freighter for two Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft to be delivered in 2011.

In the second half of 2007, the Company decided to acquire thirty-two new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft with deliveries initially scheduled between 2011 and 2016. The Company entered into a purchase agreement with the Boeing Company for 26 of these aircraft and entered into a leasing agreement with the International Lease Finance Corporation for the remaining six aircraft.

In November 2008, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for four additional Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft to be delivered in 2012. In March 2010, LAN decided to replace three of these passenger aircraft with three Boeing 767-300 freighters to be delivered between 2013 and 2014. The fourth aircraft was rescheduled to be delivered in 2011. During the last quarter of 2010, LAN decided to exchange the three Boeing 767 Freighters with three Boeing passenger 767-300 aircraft with deliveries in 2012. As part of this same contract, LAN also ordered a Boeing 777 Aircraft to be delivered in 2012.

During 2008, LAN decided to exercise 15 options to acquire A320-Family Aircraft. Six of these aircraft were delivered in 2010 and the remaining nine were delivered in 2011. In March 2010, LAN entered into a credit facility to finance the entire pre-delivery payments attached to these 15 aircraft. In April 2010, LAN entered into an agreement to finance the purchase of these 15 aircraft partially guaranteed by the European Export Credit Agencies and partially through its own funds (85.0% and 15.0%, respectively).

In the third quarter of 2010, LAN entered into three lease agreements with GE Commercial Aviation Services for the six year lease of Boeing 767-300 Freighters already delivered in November 2010, December 2010 and January 2011.

In December 2009, LAN entered into a purchase agreement with Airbus for 30 aircraft of the A320 family to be delivered between 2011 and 2014.

In July 2010, LAN entered into a purchase agreement with Airbus for an additional 50 aircraft of the A320 family to be delivered between 2012 and 2016.

In September 2010, LAN entered into two new six-year operating lease agreements with AerCap for 2 A320 aircraft for our operations in Colombia.

In January 2011, LAN entered into a seven-year lease agreement with the Bank of China Aviation Pte. Ltd. for one A320 aircraft.

In February, 2011, LAN increased its long haul aircraft orders by three Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft with deliveries in the second half of 2012. In May 2011, LAN ordered five additional Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft to be delivered between the last quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013.

In June 2011, LAN signed a purchase agreement with Airbus for 20 A320 of the NEO Aircraft family, from which 10 of them are expected to be delivered in 2017 and the other half in 2018.

As of February 29, 2012, and as a result of the aircraft purchase agreements entered into with Airbus in 2009, 2010 and 2011, LAN has 89 Airbus passenger aircraft of the A320 family expected to be delivered between 2012 and 2018.

During the last quarter of 2011, LAN signed a purchase agreement for two Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft with deliveries in the third and fourth quarter of 2012.

Regarding our Boeing fleet, nine Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft are expected to be delivered in 2012 and four in 2013. We expect 32 Boeing 787-8/9 passenger aircraft to be delivered between 2012 and 2018 and two Boeing 777-freighter to be delivered in 2012.

Table of Contents

As of February 29, 2012, we held 49 aircraft under operating leases compared to 46 as of February 29, 2011. Twenty three of these aircraft are related to Lan Colombia domestic operations which consist of 9 Boeing 737-700, 10 Dash 8-200 and 4 Dash 8-400 aircraft. Under the terms of our operating leases, we are required to return the aircraft in an agreed upon condition at the end of the lease. Although the title to the aircraft remains with the lessor, we are responsible during the lease term for the maintenance, servicing, insurance, repair and overhaul of the aircraft.

As of December 31, 2011, aggregate future minimum lease payments required under our aircraft operating leases were US$705 million. Our operating leases have terms ranging from three months to twelve years from the date of delivery of the aircraft. For more information, see Note 2.21 to our audited consolidated financial statements. For more information on our expected future capital expenditures in connection with aircraft purchases see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures”.

Maintenance

Our heavy maintenance, line maintenance and component shop are equipped to service our entire fleet of Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier aircraft. Our maintenance capabilities allow us flexibility in scheduling airframe maintenance, offering us an alternative to third-party maintenance providers.

LAN facilities at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile are among the most extensive in Latin America and have been certified according to IOSA standards and as a FAA approved repair station. Our hangars and components shops at our Santiago repair station can service the Boeing 767, Boeing 777, Airbus 340 and Airbus 320 Family Aircraft fleet, as well as designing and manufacturing galleys, structures and composite materials. We also have the capability to retrofit aircraft interiors, including sophisticated in-flight entertainment equipment, and blended winglets in the Boeing 767 fleet. LAN facilities at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia can service the Boeing 737 and the Dash 8 Q200 - Q400 fleet.

Our engineering and maintenance division is supervised by the local DGAC and it is subjected to several recurrent external audits from civil aviation authorities and international entities such as the FAA, the Argentine Dirección Nacional de Aeronavegabilidad (the National Directorate of Airworthiness) (“DNA”), the Brazilian Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (“ANAC”), the Ecuadorian Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (“DGAC Ecuador”), the Peruvian Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (“DGAC Peru”), the Colombian Unidad Administrativa Especial de Aeronáutica Civil (the UAEAC), the International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (“IOSA”) (from the International Air Transport Association or “IATA”) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”), in order to strictly comply with applicable regulations. The audits are conducted in connection with each country’s certification procedures and enable us to continue to perform maintenance for aircraft registered in the certificating jurisdictions. Our repair station holds FAA Part-145 certifications under these approvals.

We also rely on third parties for certain maintenance support for our aircraft and engines. Lufthansa Technik provides our Airbus A320-Family Aircraft and A340 Aircraft component support on a power-by-the-hour basis under a long-term contract, which runs until 2019. International Aero Engines and CFM International provides the A320 and A319 engine support on a power-by-the-hour contract, which runs for twelve years once each engine is received. Pratt and Whitney provides the A318 engine support on a power-by-the-hour basis contract, which runs for ten years once an engine is received. General Electric provides the maintenance of our Airbus A340 engines under a similar contract, which runs for twelve years once an engine is received. In addition, General Electric provides for the maintenance of most of our Boeing 767 engines under a contract effective until 2013. Third parties also provide certain additional engine maintenance services. Air France-KLM, which services have been contracted until 2015, provides the maintenance of our Boeing 777 engines and components and to our Boeing 767-300 components.

We occasionally perform certain maintenance services for other airlines.

Our aircraft maintenance personnel participates in extensive training programs at the jointly operated Lufthansa LAN Technical Training S.A., located in Santiago, Chile.

In 2011, LAN continued implementing the management system known as LEAN in an effort to increase efficiency throughout its maintenance network. The adoption of this system constituted a redesigning of processes which detect problems during aircraft maintenance and offer a solution. The foregoing renders the daily tasks and processes carried out within the Company more efficient. Internationally, the LEAN system has been defined as a methodology for achieving excellence and continuous improvement. It seeks to eliminate activities that do not add value to processes, and suppressing those activities that are superfluous, thereby allowing companies to reduce costs, improve processes and increase customer satisfaction.

During the last year, LAN continued to benefit from the implementation of LEAN in heavy and line maintenance. Heavy maintenance is performed approximately every 12–18 months or a specific amount of actual flight hours as defined by the manufacturer, while line maintenance is performed on a daily basis. In 2011, we achieved approximately a 30.0% reduction in the time an aircraft remains in the hangar. Moreover, we achieved a 30.0% to 50.0% reduction in the time for some of the most demanding tasks in line maintenance and a 15.0% increase on workers’ productivity. Other benefits of LEAN include a reduction of approximately 64.0% in labor accidents in heavy maintenance areas, a reduction of 80.0% on delays deliveries of aircraft from programmed maintenance, and a considerable improvement on dispatch reliability. Furthermore, by establishing clear roles, challenges and achievements, the implementation of LEAN has had an important benefit in terms of employee motivation.

Safety and Security Corporate Direction

The Safety and Security Corporate Direction (“SSCD”) is an internal division in charge of the management of safety and security matters related to flight operations, operative and administrative buildings, organization and coordination of emergency response matters, safety and security audits and safety and occupational health.

The SSCD reports directly to LAN’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), which reflects the firm commitment that the Company’s senior management has with its employees. The SSCD is comprised of five independent reporting management areas: safety management, security management, emergency response management, Safety & Security Audit management and Safety and Occupational Health Management.

Safety Management

We give high priority to providing safe and reliable air service, as it is considered a fundamental asset to LAN and one of the basic pillars for the development of our Company. We have uniform safety standards and safety-related training programs that cover all of our operations. LAN has implemented a Safety and Quality Management System (“SMS”) throughout the operational areas of the Company, which is certified by the Chilean DGAC and IOSA System. The SMS provides clear definitions of the functions and responsibilities regarding operational safety for all persons involved, from the top to the bottom of the operational structure of the airline. It strengthens the commitment and knowledge required from everyone in the Company regarding any and all actions that could affect safety.

The Operational Safety Director (“OSD”) is responsible for the Operational Safety Oversight and the implementation of the SMS. The OSD supervises a staff of approximately twenty-one safety specialists of different backgrounds, including pilots, aeronautical engineers, aircraft maintenance engineers, a psychologist, and dangerous goods and ground handling safety specialists.

Our corporate operational safety organization consists of four main areas:

 

   

Flight Safety Management: The Flight Safety Area oversees and audits our operational safety measures, investigates major incidents and programs and controls the LOSA and FOQA Programs (as defined below). The Flight Safety Area also oversees and audits safety measures related to ground handling and cargo areas and investigates related incidents.

 

   

Maintenance Safety Management: The Maintenance Safety Area oversees and audits our maintenance safety measures and investigates maintenance-related incidents.

 

94


Table of Contents
   

Flight Data Monitoring Management: The Flight Data Monitoring Area is responsible for the maintenance and administration of the recorded flight data and safety-related databases and software.

The main safety programs, elements and procedures include:

 

   

Flight Operations Quality Assurance (“FOQA”). Since the end of 2002, LAN has been implementing a Flight Data Monitoring (“FDM”) program using two different analysis programs. The FDM program is fully developed for the A320-Family Aircraft, A340, Boeing B767, and B777 fleet. The statistical information obtained has produced standard operational procedure changes and valuable inputs to the Advance Qualification Program project. We have also fully developed a maintenance variation for the same fleets which monitors the engines, flight controls and general performance of the airplanes.

 

   

Mandatory Occurrence and Mandatory Reports. Our operations policy manuals define the incidents that require a mandatory report. On a voluntary basis, personnel can provide confidential reports to the flight safety area in hard copy or electronic form.

 

   

Safety Information Management. All safety information regarding all occurrences is entered into dedicated software, where it is analyzed according to its potential risk. Important incidents are investigated thoroughly. The relevant areas related to each particular incident implement corrective actions with the assistance of the corporate operational safety directory.

 

   

Line Operation Safety Audit (“LOSA”). LOSA is a program designed to survey and analyze the safety components of our equipment and operations. LOSA observations have been conducted on the A-340, A-320 and Boeing B767 fleets. In 2007, a second LOSA observation has been applied to the A-340 fleet, which has given important information of the effectiveness of the corrective actions recommended by the first observation conducted in 2004.

 

   

Human Factors Program. This program is based on a manual developed by LAN that includes all interconnectivities between flight operations and human factors. The program includes a Fatigue Risk Management Program that is being implemented since 2008. The program also includes Crew Resource Management and Flight Crews Training and study of incidents using the Threat and Error Management (“TEM”) model.

 

   

Quality Assurance and IOSA and ISAGO Certification Programs. Our flight and maintenance safety areas have a quality assurance system. Our safety management system is based on the ISO 9001-2000 standards. We also periodically evaluate the skills, experience and safety records of our flight crews in order to maintain strict control over the quality of our flight crews. All of our aircraft pilots participate in training programs, some of which are sponsored by aircraft manufacturers, and all are required to undergo recurrent training. LAN Airlines and passenger and cargo subsidiaries are IOSA registered. We also have ISAGO certification for LAN, LAN Argentina and LAN Ecuador.

We also have an operational safety committee, composed of senior executives and key operational managers, responsible for the initiation of safety-related actions.

All of our Boeing 767, A320, A340 and Boeing 777 fleets are equipped with an enhanced ground proximity warning system, a traffic collision avoidance system, a wind shear detection system and reduced vertical separation minimum capabilities.

Since 1991, we have had no accidents involving major injury to passengers, crew or aircraft.

Security Management

The main policy and the essential principle of the Company is to ensure an adequate security protection to all its flights, aircraft, passengers, crew members, ground personnel, airport facilities and other services related to the commercial civil aviation against any threat or unlawful action.

 

95


Table of Contents

The Company has implemented corporate policies and a quality management system through the operational system to detect any lack of security in its operations. Audits and assessments are used to assign different levels of security to international and domestic operations.

The Corporate Security Manager (“CSM”) has the responsibility to evaluate, analyze and assign threat levels (high, medium, low) to international and domestic operations, proposing security procedures for each scenario. The CSM leads an organization of five security managers and approximately fifteen security specialists. The current CSM is a former police officer with more than 25 years of experience in the civil aviation.

The corporate security organization has five main areas:

 

   

Domestic Security Operations: that report to a former police officer with more than 20 years of experience in civil aviation.

 

   

International Security Operations: that report to a former police officer, with more than 20 years of experience in civil aviation.

 

   

North America, Caribbean and Europe Security Operations: that report to a security specialist, with more than 18 years of experience in civil aviation.

 

   

Argentinean Security Operations: that report to a security specialist, with more than 30 years of experience in civil aviation.

 

   

Peruvian Security Operations: that report to a security specialist, with more than 19 years of experience in civil aviation.

Each of the five areas is subdivided in internal investigations, fraud, training, cargo and passengers’ security, security of facilities and quality control.

Since 2002, the Company’s Corporate Security Manual unified international and domestic security procedures:

 

   

Manual de Gestión de Seguridad (Manual of Security Management). The basis for local security procedures.

 

   

Airport Security Plan or Airport Security Program. Approved by the DGAC for each country in which we have operations. It includes procedures to prevent unlawful conduct and procedures for a bomb threat or hijacking drill.

 

   

Corporate Security Training Program. It includes the contents and definitions regarding security training for all areas involved in acceptance of aircraft, baggage, cargo and passengers.

 

   

Airport Security Inspection Program. It has the contents and definitions regarding airport inspections and identification of security issues and corrective action plans for non-compliance.

Emergency Response Management

The emergency response area is responsible for the administration of the Emergency Response Plan (ERP). It has been developed for the effective management of accidents and serious incidents with the purpose of mitigating any impacts on the passenger and their relatives and the operations.

The ERP consists mainly of:

 

   

Emergency Procedures. They are widely advertised inside the Company, approved by the DGAC and covered by the Emergency Administration Manual.

 

96


Table of Contents
   

Emergency Response Centre (ERC). The ERC includes three principal areas: the Emergency Strategy Committee, the Emergency Resolution Committee and the Public Relations Monitoring Area. Those areas are located at Santiago, Chile. Most of them have meetings rooms, computers, satellite TV, conference call systems, video conference facilities, kitchens and rest rooms.

 

   

Special Assistance Team (SAT). We have a humanitarian assistance program that we deploy for family and passenger assistance. We have about 1,200 total active volunteers distributed as follows: Santiago (700 volunteers), Miami (120 volunteers), Lima (210 volunteers), Ecuador (110 volunteers), and Buenos Aires (90 volunteers). Our SAT is complemented by service vendors.

 

   

Telephone Inquiry Center. It is located in Santiago, Chile, at our call-center office and has 500 agents. There are 18 toll free lines activated for family member calls and are published through the company web site and the media, in case of emergencies.

 

   

Go Team. We have a special team that is dispatched to emergencies involving LAN aircraft. The Go Team includes a director, a SAT leader, a field investigation team (FIT) leader and other representatives from the general support, an Informatics & Telecommunication (IT) team, and security, finance, legal and maintenance departments.

 

   

Logistic Area. It is activated and deployed in our head quarters and at the location of the accident.

Fuel Supplies

Fuel costs comprise the single largest category of our operating expenses. Over the last years, our fuel consumption and operating expenses have increased due to the significant growth in our operations and to the increase in fuel prices as a result of economic and political factors. In 2011, the foregoing trend was affected by geopolitical instability in the Middle East and the total fuel costs represented 33.8% of our total operating expenses. The into-wing (fuel price plus taxes and transportation costs) 2011 average final price was US$3.11 per gallon, representing a 34.2% increase from the 2010 average. We can neither control nor accurately predict the volatility of fuel prices. Despite the foregoing, it is possible to partially offset the price volatility risk through our hedging and fuel surcharge programs in place in both our passenger and cargo business. For more information, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk of Fluctuations in Jet Fuel Prices”.

The following table details our consolidated fuel consumption and operating costs (which exclude fuel costs related to charter operations in which fuel expenses are covered by the entity that charters the flight) during the last three years.

We have entered into fuel contracts to serve operations to more than sixty international and domestic destinations around the world. Contractual terms and conditions vary for each location depending on market conditions, logistics network, volume, economic and political factors, among others. In 2010, approximately 24.7% of our total fuel consumption was originated in Chile where we maintain a long-term commercial relationship with a joint venture between Air BP and Copec, and where we have entered into specific supply contracts with Petrobras Aviation and Enex Aviation. We have more than twenty additional suppliers in our network such as Repsol YPF, Cepsa, Petroperu, Chevron, Air Total, Q8 Aviation and Exxon Mobil. In our secondary hubs we have the following fuel suppliers: WFS (Miami), Exxon Mobil and Petroperu (Lima), Exxon Mobil, Repsol YPF and Shell (Buenos Aires) and PetroEcuador (Guayaquil).

Ground Facilities and Services

Our main operations are based at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile. We also operate from various other airports in Chile and abroad. We operate hangars, aircraft parking and other airport service facilities at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport and other airports throughout Chile pursuant to concessions granted by the DGAC. We also maintain one customs warehouse at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, additional customs warehouses in Chile (Iquique, Antofagasta and Punta Arenas) and Argentina (Aeroparque) and operate cargo warehouses at the Miami International Airport to service our cargo customers. Our facilities at Miami International Airport include corporate offices for our cargo and passenger operations and temperature-controlled and freezer space for imports and exports.

We have VIP lounges at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. The 7,500 square feet Neruda lounge, which represented an investment of approximately US$550,000 in 2001, has been widely acclaimed. In 2005, Latin Trade magazine selected it as the “Best Airline Lounge” in Latin America. In the same airport we also have the 4,300 square feet Mistral lounge.

Finally, we incur certain airport usage fees and other charges for services performed by the various airports where we operate, such as air traffic control charges, take-off and landing fees, aircraft parking fees and fees payable in connection with the use of passenger waiting rooms and check-in counter space.

During 2010, APV’s (“In-flight Service Supplier”) new 1,650 square meter facilities were completed in the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport.

The development of the new building for the facilities of Andes Airports Services (“Andes,” which performs ground handling services) is in process which is scheduled to be delivered during the second half of 2012.

Ancillary Airline Activities

In addition to our airline operations, we generate revenues from a variety of other activities. In 2011, LAN generated other revenues of US$132.8 million from ancillary activities.

Our total revenue from aircraft leases (including subleases, dry-leases, wet-leases and capacity sales to certain alliance partners) and charter flights amounted to US$12.7 million in 2011.

On January 25, 2011 Lan Cargo S.A. and Inversiones Lan S.A., subsidiaries of LAN Airlines, signed a promise to sell to Bethia S.A. (“Bethia”) 100% of the capital in the LAN subsidiaries Blue Express Intl. Servicios de Transporte Limitada and Blue Express S.A. (together referred to as “Blue Express”), companies engaged in ground courier services, operating brands and certain computer programs.

The price stated in the promissory contract was US$54 million subject to any adjustments that might arise as a result of a due diligence to be conducted by Bethia. The transaction closed on April 6, 2011, with the execution by Lan Cargo S.A. e Inversiones Lan S.A. as sellers, and Servicios de Transporte Limitada and Inversiones Betmin SpA (subsidiaries of Bethia) as purchasers, of the respective contracts for the sale of 100% of the social capital of Blue Express in the terms agreed in the purchase promise. The final sale value of Blue Express was US$53.5 million. Since Blue Express’ book value was US$9.1 million, the sale generated a non-operational profit of approximately US$44.5 million, which was reflected on LAN’s 2011 results.

Table of Contents

As a consequence of the sale of Blue Express in 2011, the Company’s courier business revenues fell from US$36.8 million in 2010 to US$11.0 million in 2011.

During 2011, we had revenues of US$44.0 million from tours and US$16.9 million for duty-free in-flight sales. The balance of our operating revenues, US$48.3 million in 2011, was generated by maintenance, storage and customs, handling and others.

Insurance

We carry hull insurance that includes, among other coverage, “all risk,” war and allied risks, spares and liability for passengers, cargo, mail, baggage and third parties. We renew our insurance coverage yearly, and are subject to deductibles that vary depending on the coverage type and the loss type. Our deductibles are US$1,250 for loss or damage per occurrence associated with passengers’ baggage liabilities, US$10,000 per occurrence for loss or damage associated with cargo liabilities and between US$500,000 and US$1.0 million per occurrence for hull “all risk” insurance (depending on the aircraft type). Additionally, we have hull deductible coverage to reduce the net hull deductible to US$100,000 per occurrence (aircraft and/or engine).

Since December 2006, we have negotiated common terms for Hull All Risk, Aviation Legal Liabilities and Spares coverage, together with British Airways, Aer Lingus and their affiliates and franchises which allows us to obtain premium reductions and coverage improvements. In April 2011, Iberia, Air Nostrum and Vueling also joined to such group.

Our insurance coverage has a one-year term starting in April of each year. The aggregate cost of our insurance coverage for the 2011 calendar year was US$16.3 million, excluding insurance relating to Aires, which represents a 4.6% increase in insurance expenses and a 17.2% decrease in average insurance rates compared to the 2010 calendar year.

Aires was covered under a separate insurance policy until October 1, 2011, when it was integrated under LAN’s policy. Its annual cost was US$7.9 million (US$7.3 million from January to October and US$0.6 million from October to December).

Information Technology

General

We use information technology in almost every aspect of our business.

Our reservations, departure control (check-in), inventory, flight planning and baggage tracing systems are operated by Amadeus, Sabre, Iberia and SITA, and we operate our internal systems from two data center facilities in Santiago, Chile. In 2006, we implemented a Disaster Recovery Plan between those two sites in order to ensure the functionality of our critical systems, with a recovery time objective of four days. The line of business infrastructure currently has an average recovery time of two hours for 80% of our systems and two days for the remaining 20%.

Third-party suppliers provide us with the following technical infrastructure elements:

 

   

wide-area data network (provided mainly by SITA and Telefónica); and

 

   

data centers and desktop operations and support (provided by Accenture and IBM).

Basic Infrastructure Operation

Since early 2010, we have outsourced our IT infrastructure with Accenture and IBM worldwide. During 2011 IBM managed the data center and Accenture handled our desktop equipment. In 2012 we will change the manager of our data center from IBM to HP. This outsourcing allows us to:

 

   

deliver a standard world-class service;

 

   

increase the efficiency of our IT operations;

 

   

convert fixed costs into variable costs;

 

   

guarantee that the service standards (such as up-time and response time) required by critical processes of our business are fulfilled;

 

   

accelerate critical infrastructure projects while significantly reducing the resources required;

 

   

increase the efficiency of our personnel; and

 

   

focus internal IT efforts on business functions, rather than basic hardware and software issues.

Telecommunications

We have used the latest technology available with regard to our global telecommunications network. Our network has the capacity to transport voice, data, and video with the quality required by the Company, combining traditional private data channels with virtual private networks through the Internet.

Front-End Systems

During 2002, we deployed new systems to support our sales personnel. These systems provide the employees who have a direct contact with our customers with additional tools to improve service, enhance customer information and increase efficiency. During 2004 and 2005, we implemented these systems at our airport counters and our call centers.

Since 2005, we have favored a strategy of encouraging and facilitating self service alternatives for customers, through improving the functionality of the www.lan.com website as well as implementing self check-in kiosks in airports.

During 2009, we deployed a new online system in order to provide the processes that our engineering, maintenance and materials areas develop, with technological solutions. This project has allowed us to establish and automate simple and integrated processes, standardize processes for the Company (including our subsidiaries and related companies), facilitate handling of materials and maintenance, make relevant information available in a full, unique and consistent way to all users, and optimize distribution and execution (planned and non planned), among other benefits.

Enterprise Resource Planning

In 2002, we purchased an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system from SAP. This system was fully implemented in the second quarter of 2004 for Lan Airlines and almost all of its subsidiaries. This ERP system includes modules covering areas such as: finance, accounting, inventory management, human resources, business warehouse, as well as a user-friendly portal. We are currently working on optimizing and simplifying this system, and in leveraging it to increase the efficiency of our back-office processes.

Development and Maintenance System

With respect to new development needs, our first choice is to acquire existing packaged software, but we outsource this service when such software is not available in the market. Since early 2007, we have outsourced our IT system development to three principal vendors: TATA Consultancy Services, Everis, Accenture and Indra. Thanks to this outsourcing initiative, we have achieved:

 

   

a decrease in project delays;

 

   

an increase in systems reliability; and

 

   

a shift in the efforts of the internal IT department to a more business oriented perspective.

New initiatives

We are implementing a new host (“Host”). A Host change is one of the most important decisions for the passenger business division in an airline in terms of process and technology. It consists in replacing the PSS, or Passenger Service System, that contains the reservation, inventory and departure control systems of an airline. This decision permits the understanding of the software from an aviation industry provider in ASP mode, adherence to standard processes and best industry practices and the integration of multiple legacy applications that complement the needs of the processes model for the airline business. For LAN, the Host change implies going from two suppliers (Amadeus and Resiber) currently covering the role of the complete PSS, to a single supplier (Sabre). This project represents an investment of approximately US$79.4 million, and is expected to provide immediate savings of 75% per passenger in reservation transaction costs and is estimated to be in place during June 2012.

The IT department expects to implement a Technology Refreshing Project between 2010 and 2012, to move to the platforms that will host our applications and services for the next five years. During 2010, Lan Airlines will define the Technology Refreshing Project and all the platforms, software, solutions and services that it will use to support its business. These hardware and software solutions will be gradually implemented between 2011 and 2012.

We are also buying new airplanes, namely, Boeing 787 aircraft. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is Boeing’s most fuel-efficient aircraft and is the world’s first e-Enabled commercial airplane.

The Boeing 787 combines the integrated information and communications systems to drive operational efficiency and streamline airplane maintenance. The e-Enabled tools on the 787 will be a significant change from any other commercial airplane previously operated. The extensive e-Enabling on the 787 increases the need for network connectivity, hardware and software improvements, and systems management practices.

Regulation

Below is a brief reference to the material effects of aeronautical and other regulations in force in each of the relevant jurisdictions in which LAN and its subsidiaries operate.

Chile

Aeronautical Regulation

Both the DGAC and the JAC oversee and regulate the Chilean aviation industry. The DGAC reports directly to the Chilean Air Force and is responsible for supervising compliance with Chilean laws and regulations relating to air navigation. The JAC is the Chilean civil aviation authority. Primarily on the basis of Decree Law No. 2,564, which regulates commercial aviation, the JAC establishes the main commercial policies for the aviation industry in Chile, regulates the assignment of international routes, and the compliance with certain insurance requirements, and the DGAC regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authority from the Chilean government to conduct flight operations, including authorization certificates from the JAC and technical operative certificates from the DGAC, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

 

102


Table of Contents

Chile is a contracting state, as well as a permanent member, of the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations established in 1947 to assist in the planning and development of international air transport. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Chilean authorities have incorporated into Chilean laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Chilean regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the DGAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. Chilean airlines are not required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes, but only to comply with the technical and insurance requirements established respectively by the DGAC and the JAC. There are no regulatory barriers that would prevent a foreign airline from creating a Chilean subsidiary and entering the Chilean domestic market using that subsidiary. On January 18, 2012 the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Economics of Chile announced steps towards unilaterally opening the Chilean domestic skies in the near term.

International Routes. As an airline providing services on international routes, Lan Airlines is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Chile and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Chile and foreign governments will continue, and a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Chile and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Chile, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency the JAC awards it through a public auction for a period of five years. The JAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, the JAC may terminate its rights to that route. International route frequencies are freely transferable. In the past, we have generally paid only nominal amounts for international route frequencies obtained in uncontested auctions.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Chilean airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic and international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. For more information, see “–Antitrust Regulation” below. Airlines may file complaints before the Antitrust Court with respect to monopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Chile’s antitrust laws. In 1997, the Antitrust Commission approved and imposed a specific self-regulatory fare plan for our domestic operations consistent with the Antitrust Commission’s directive to maintain a competitive environment. According to this plan, we must file notice with the JAC of any increase or decrease in standard fares on routes deemed “non-competitive” by the JAC and any decrease in fares on “competitive” routes at least twenty days in advance. We must file notice with the JAC of any increase in fares on “competitive” routes at least ten days in advance. In addition, the Chilean authorities now require that we justify any modification that we make to our fares on non-competitive routes. We must also ensure that our average yields on a non-competitive route are not higher than those on competitive routes of similar distance.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Chile is governed by the Chilean Aeronautical Code (“CAC”). In order to register or continue to be registered in Chile, an aircraft must be wholly owned by either:

 

   

a natural person who is a Chilean citizen; or

 

103


Table of Contents
   

a legal entity incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Chile and a majority of the capital stock of which is owned by Chilean nationals, among other requirements established in article 38 of the CAC.

 

   

The Aeronautical Code expressly allows the DGAC to permit registration of aircraft belonging to non-Chilean individuals or entities with a permanent place of business in Chile. Aircraft owned by non-Chileans, but operated by Chileans or by an airline which is affiliated with a Chilean aviation entity, may also be registered in Chile. Registration of any aircraft can be cancelled if it is not in compliance with the requirements for registration and, in particular, if:

 

   

the ownership requirements are not met; or

 

   

the aircraft does not comply with any applicable safety requirements specified by the DGAC.

Safety. The DGAC requires that all aircraft operated by Chilean airlines be registered either with the DGAC or with an equivalent supervisory body in a country other than Chile. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by either the DGAC or an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory entity. In addition, the DGAC will not issue maintenance permits to a Chilean airline until the DGAC has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. The DGAC renews maintenance permits annually, and has approved our maintenance operations. Only DGAC-certified maintenance facilities or facilities certified by an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory body in the country where the aircraft is registered may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Chilean airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified either by the DGAC or an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory body before assuming any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security. The DGAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Chilean commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Chile must submit an aviation security handbook to the DGAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. Lan Airlines has submitted its aviation security handbook to the DGAC. Chilean airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy. The DGAC supervises and manages airports in Chile, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. The DGAC proposes airport charges, which are approved by the JAC and are the same at all airports. Since the mid-90s, a number of Chilean airports have been privatized, including the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of the DGAC and JAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation. There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise affect us in Chile, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability. There is no noise restriction regulation currently applicable to aircraft in Chile. However, Chilean authorities are planning to pass a noise-related regulation governing aircraft that fly to and within Chile. The proposed regulation will require all such aircraft to comply with certain noise restrictions, referred to in the market as Stage 3 standards. LAN’s fleet already complies with the proposed restrictions so we do not believe that enactment of the proposed standards would impose a material burden on us.

Argentina

Aeronautical Regulation

Both the Administración Nacional de Aviación Civil (“ANACI”) and the Secretary of Transport oversee and regulate the Argentinean aviation industry. ANACI regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management, and reports indirectly to the Ministry of Planning and is responsible for supervising compliance with Argentinean laws and regulations relating to air navigation. The Secretary of Transport also reports to the Ministry of Planning and regulates the assignment of international routes

 

104


Table of Contents

and matters related to tariff regulation policies. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authorizations from the Argentinean government to conduct flight operations, including authorization certificates and technical operative certificates from ANACI, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Argentina is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations established in 1947 to assist in the planning and development of international air transport. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Argentinean authorities have incorporated into Argentinean laws and regulations. In the absence of applicable Argentinean regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the ANACI has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. In Argentina airlines are required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes, and to comply with the technical requirements established by the local authority. There are no regulatory barriers preventing a foreign airline from creating an Argentine subsidiary and entering the Argentine domestic market using that subsidiary. However, ownership of such subsidiary by the foreign airline may not be direct, but through a subsidiary formed in Argentina, which in turn may be directly or indirectly owned by the foreign company. However, such subsidiary should operate Argentine registered aircraft and employ Argentine aeronautical personnel.

International Routes. As an airline providing services on international routes, Lan Argentina is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Argentina and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Argentina and foreign governments will continue. Furthermore, a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Argentina and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Argentina, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. ANACI grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, the ANACI may terminate its rights to that route.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Argentine airlines are permitted to establish their own international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. Yet, there are government-fixed maximum and minimum prices for domestic flights.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Argentina is governed by the Argentinean Aeronautical Code (“AAC”). In order to register or continue to be registered in Argentina, an aircraft must be wholly owned by either:

 

   

a natural person who is an Argentinean citizen; or

 

   

a legal entity incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Argentina and a majority of the capital stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by Argentinean nationals, among other requirements established in the AAC.

Safety. ANACI requires that all aircraft operated by Argentinean airlines be registered with ANACI. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by ANACI. In addition, ANACI will not issue maintenance permits to an Argentinean airline until ANACI has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. ANACI renews maintenance permits periodically and approves maintenance operations once the airline initiates its operations and

 

105


Table of Contents

each time an airline changes its maintenance regime. Only ANACI-certified maintenance facilities (in Argentina or in any other country) may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Argentinean airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified by ANACI before assuming any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security. ANACI establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Argentinean commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Argentina must submit an aviation security handbook to ANACI describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. Lan Argentina has submitted its aviation security handbook to ANACI. Argentinean airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy. The ORSNA (Organismo Regulador del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos) supervises and manages the airports in Argentina, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. The ORSNA proposes airport charges, which are approved by ANACI and are the same at all airports. Nevertheless, while domestic flights are charged in local currency, international flights are charged in U.S. dollars. Since the late-90s, a number of Argentinean airports have been privatized, including Aeroparque and Aeropuerto Internacional de Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini in Buenos Aires, the two most important airports in Argentina. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of ANACI and ORSNA.

Environmental and Noise Regulation. There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise affect us in Argentina, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability and noise restriction regulation currently applicable to aircraft in Argentina. Any aircraft operated by an Argentinean airline should comply with certain noise restrictions, specifically with Stage 3 standards, as set forth in chapter 91.805 of the Argentinean civilian aviation regulations (Regulaciones Argentinas de Aviación Civil) referred to in the market as Stage 3 standards. LAN’s fleet already complies with the proposed restrictions so we do not believe that enactment of the proposed standards would impose a material burden on us.

Peru

Aeronautical Regulation

The Peruvian DGAC (“PDGAC”) oversees and regulates the Peruvian aviation industry. The PDGAC reports directly to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and is responsible for supervising compliance with Peruvian laws and regulations relating to air navigation. In addition, the PDGAC regulates the assignment of national and international routes, and the compliance with certain insurance requirements, and it regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authorizations from the Peruvian government to conduct flight operations, including authorization and technical operative certificates, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Peru is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Peruvian authorities have incorporated into Peruvian laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Peruvian regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the PDGAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. Peruvian airlines are required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes and to comply with the technical requirements established by the PDGAC. Non-Peruvian airlines are not permitted to provide domestic air service between destinations in Peru.

Table of Contents

International Routes. As an airline providing services on international routes, Lan Peru is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Peru and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Peru and foreign governments will continue, and a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Peru and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Peru, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency the PDGAC awards it through a public auction for a period of four years. The PDGAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of 90 days or more, the PDGAC may terminate its rights to that route, although that has never happened in practice.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Peruvian airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic and international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. For more information, see “–Antitrust Regulation” below. Airlines or other interested parties may file complaints before the Institute for Protection of Fair Competition and Consumer Rights (“Indecopi”) with respect to monopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Peru’s antitrust laws.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Peru is governed by the Peruvian Civil Aviation Law. In order to own and register a Peruvian aircraft, the following conditions shall apply:

 

   

In case of a natural person, the owner shall be a Peruvian citizen; or in case of a foreign person, the owner shall be permanently domiciled in Peru; or

 

   

In case of a legal entity, it shall be incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Peru among other requirements established in article 47 of the Peruvian Civil Aviation Law.

 

   

Aircraft owned by non-Peruvians citizens or entities with domicile in Peru may also be registered in Peru but only if the aircraft is used for general, not commercial aviation. Registration of any aircraft can be cancelled if it is not in compliance with the requirements for registration mentioned above and, in particular, if the aircraft does not comply with any applicable safety requirements specified by the PDGAC.

Safety. Peruvian law allows the use of aircraft that are registered either with the PDGAC or with an equivalent supervisory body in a country other than Peru. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by either the PDGAC or an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory entity. In addition, the PDGAC will issue maintenance permits to a Peruvian airline as long as the PDGAC has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. The PDGAC has approved our maintenance operations. Only PDGAC-certified maintenance facilities or facilities certified by an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory body in the country where the aircraft is registered may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Peruvian airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified either by the PDGAC or an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory body before be appointed to any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security. The PDGAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Peruvian commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Peru must submit an aviation security handbook to the PDGAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. Lan Peru has submitted its aviation security handbook to the PDGAC. Peruvian airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy. CORPAC supervises and manages airports in Peru, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. CORPAC sets airport charges for navigation facilities, which may differ from airport to airport. Since the mid-90s, a number of Peruvian airports have been privatized, including the Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez in Lima. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of the Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Infraestructura de Transporte de Uso Público, (the Supervising Agency of Investment in Public Transport Infrastructure Facilities or “OSITRAN”), an independent regulatory and supervising entity.

Environmental and Noise Regulation. There are no specific material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise materially affect us in Peru, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability. There are noise restriction regulations currently applicable to aircraft in Peru. LAN’s fleet complies with the proposed restrictions so they do not impose a material burden on us.

There are two institutions that control commercial aviation on behalf of the State: (i) The National Civil Aviation Board (“CNAC”), which directs aviation policy; and (ii) the General Civil Aviation Bureau (“EDGAC”), which is a technical regulatory and control agency. The CNAC issues operating permits and grants operating concessions to national and international airlines. It also issues opinions on bilateral and multilateral air transportation treaties, allocates routes and traffic rights, and approves joint operating agreements such as wet leases and shared codes.

Fundamentally, the EDGAC is responsible for:

 

   

ensuring that the national standards and technical regulations and international ICAO standards and regulations are observed;

 

   

keeping records on insurance, airworthiness and licenses of Ecuadorian civil aircraft;

 

   

maintaining the National Aircraft Registry;

 

   

issuing licenses to crews; and

 

   

controlling air traffic control inside domestic air space.

The EDGAC also must comply with the standards and recommended methods of the ICAO since Ecuador is a signatory of the 1944 Chicago Convention.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. Airlines must obtain authorization from CNAC (an operating permit or concession) to provide air transportation. For domestic operations, only companies incorporated in Ecuador can operate locally, and only Ecuadorian-licensed aircraft and dry leases are authorized to operate domestically.

International Routes. Permits for international operations are based on air transportation treaties signed by Ecuador or, otherwise, the principle of reciprocity is applied. All airlines doing business in Latin America that are incorporated in countries that are members of the Comunidad Andina de Naciones (the Andean Community, or “CAN”) obtain their traffic rights on the basis of decisions currently in force under that regime, in particular decision N°582 of 2004, which guarantee free access to markets, with no type of restriction except technical considerations.

Shared codes are allowed in Ecuador after authorization by the CNAC, but the respective airlines must have the relevant traffic rights.

Airfare Pricing Policy. On October 13, 2011, The Statutory Law of Regulation and Control of the Market Power was passed with a purpose to avoid, prevent, correct, eliminate and sanction the abuse of economic operators with market power, as well as to sanction restrictive, disloyal and agreements involving collusive practices. This Law creates a new public entity as the maximum authority of application and establishes the procedures of investigation and the applicable sanctions, which are severe. Rates are not regulated and are subject only to registration. In general, bilateral treaties regarding air transportation provide for airfares to be regulated by the regulation of the country of origin.

Registration of Aircraft. The legislation allows Ecuadorian companies to provide international air transportation services using aircraft licensed in Ecuador and aircraft with a foreign license, always provided the latter are exploited under dry leases. For domestic operations, aircraft is authorized only pursuant to dry leases and Ecuadorian registration. Aircraft interchange agreements are also allowed for international operations, provided that the aviation authority can confirm that the aircraft is under the operational control of an Ecuadorian operator. Wet leases are permitted, but very restricted.

Safety. In order to ensure aviation safety, the EDGAC requires that the airline hold an Air Operator Certificate and have Operating Specifications that are examined technically and rigorously to ensure compliance with the Civil Aviation Technical Regulations, which are essentially the same as the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”) of the FAA. They cover matters of aircraft airworthiness, certification of maintenance facilities, and oversight by the EDGAC.

Security. The governing rules also apply to security in respect of the EDGAC. There are regulations, manuals and procedures on airport security overseen by the EDGAC.

Airport Policy. The international airports in Quito and Guayaquil are managed under administrative concessions, and the EDGAC merely controls air traffic. Fees for the use of airport facilities, terminal fees, landing fees, parking fees are all overseen and collected by the operator. Over-flight and approach fees are controlled and collected by the EDGAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation. Aircraft must comply with the standards of category 3 under Ecuadorian applicable noise regulations, as set forth in Executive Decree (Decreto Ejecutivo) 1,405, enacted on October 24,2008, which provides certain technical specific criteria. Beginning in May 2010, aircraft must comply with standards of category 4 under cited regulation. Category 3 provides for compliance with ICAO regulations and technical conditions mandatory in the United States of America.

United States of America

Aeronautical Regulation

Operations to and from the United States by non-U.S. airlines, such as Lan Airlines, are subject to Title 49 of the U.S. Code, under which the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) and the FAA exercise regulatory authority. The DOT has jurisdiction over international aviation in connection with the United States, subject to review by the President of the United States. The DOT also has jurisdiction with respect to unfair practices and methods of competition by airlines and related consumer protection matters. The U.S. DOJ also has jurisdiction over airline competition matters under the U.S. federal antitrust laws. Flight operations between Chile and the United States by airlines licensed by either country are governed generally by the open skies air transport agreement that Chile and the United States signed in October 1997. Under the open skies agreement, there are no restrictions on the number of destinations or flights that either a U.S. or a Chilean airline may operate between the two countries or on the number of U.S. and Chilean airlines that may operate.

Authorizations and Licenses

Lan Airlines is authorized by the DOT to engage in scheduled and charter air transportation services, including the transportation of persons, property (cargo) and mail, or combinations thereof, between points in Chile and points in the United States and beyond (via intermediate points in other countries). Lan Airlines holds the necessary

Table of Contents

authorizations from the DOT in the form of a foreign air carrier permit, Exemption Authorizations and Statements of Authorization to conduct current operations to and from the United States. Exemptions and Statements of Authorization are temporary in nature and are subject to renewal and therefore there can be no assurance that any particular exemption or statement of authorization will be renewed. Lan Airlines’ foreign air carrier permit has no expiration date, while a renewal of the exemption authorization (which includes the open skies traffic rights) was timely filed and the Authority was automatically extended until such time as the DOT issues the renewal order. Lan Airlines intends to request the inclusion of the open skies rights into our foreign air carrier permit, which would eliminate our need to renew the exemption authority in the future.

The FAA is engaged in the regulation with respect to safety matters, including aircraft maintenance and operations, equipment, aircraft noise, ground facilities, dispatch, communications, personnel, training, weather observation and other matters affecting air safety. The FAA requires each foreign air carrier to obtain certain operations specifications that authorize it to operate to particular airports on approved international routes using specified equipment. Lan Airlines currently holds FAA operations specifications under Part 129 of the FAR in compliance in all material respects with all requirements necessary to maintain in good standing of its operations specifications issued by the FAA. The FAA can amend, suspend, revoke or terminate those specifications, or can suspend temporarily or revoke permanently our authority if an airline fails to comply with the regulations, and can assess civil penalties for such failure. A modification, suspension or revocation of any of our DOT authorizations or FAA operations specifications could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The FAA also conducts safety audits and has the power to impose fines and other sanctions for violations of airline safety regulations. We have not incurred any material fines related to operations.

Certain Regulatory Authorizations in Connection with Strategic Alliances

The alliance between Lan Airlines and American Airlines includes three major components: a frequent flyer agreement, a reciprocal code-share agreement and the coordination of pricing, scheduling and other functions. The last two of these items required the approval of regulatory authorities in both Chile and the United States. With respect to the code-share agreement, the open skies agreement between Chile and the United States expressly permits code-sharing operations by U.S. and Chilean airlines. With regard to the coordination of pricing and scheduling, Lan Airlines and American Airlines filed a joint application with the DOT in December 1997, requesting approval of their alliance agreement and immunity from the application of all U.S. antitrust laws pursuant to Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Lan Airlines and American Airlines received approval and antitrust immunity from the DOT in September 1999, and implemented the code-share agreement in October 1999. In accordance with the terms of the DOT’s 1999 approval, Lan Airlines and American Airlines were required to resubmit their alliance agreement to the DOT for review within three years after the DOT’s grant of approval. Lan Airlines and American Airlines resubmitted the agreement in September 2002 and did not receive any comments from the DOT.

Lan Peru was granted antitrust immunity by the DOT on October 13, 2005 with respect to the alliance agreements and other agreements incorporated therein (i.e., the reciprocal code-share agreements, among others) with Lan Airlines and American Airlines. In accordance with the terms of the DOT’s 2005 approval, Lan Airlines, Lan Peru and American Airlines resubmitted their alliance agreement to the DOT for review in October 2010.

Security. On November 19, 2001, the Congress of the United States passed, and the President signed into law, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, also referred to as the Aviation Security Act. This law federalized substantially all aspects of civil aviation security and created the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”), which took over security responsibilities previously held by the FAA. The TSA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Aviation Security Act requires, among other things, the implementation of certain security measures by airlines and airports, such as the requirement that all passenger bags be screened for explosives. Funding for airline and airport security required under the Aviation Security Act is provided in part by a US$2.50 per segment passenger security fee, subject to a US$10 per roundtrip cap; however, airlines are responsible for costs in excess of this fee. Implementation of the requirements of the Aviation Security Act has resulted in increased costs for airlines and their passengers. Since the events of September 11, 2001, Congress has mandated and the TSA has implemented numerous security procedures and requirements that have imposed and will continue to impose burdens on airlines, passengers and shippers.

Noise Restrictions. Under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (“ANCA”), and related FAA regulations, aircraft that fly to the United States must comply with certain Stage 3 noise restrictions, which are currently the most stringent FAA noise requirements. All of our aircraft that fly to the United States meet the Stage 3 requirements.

Under the direction of the ICAO, governments are considering the creation of a new and more stringent noise standard than that contained in the ANCA. The ICAO adopted new noise standards in 2001 that established more stringent noise requirements for aircraft manufactured after January 1, 2006. In the U.S., legislation known as the “Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act,” which was signed into law in December 2003, required the FAA to issue regulations implementing Stage 4 noise standards consistent with recommendations adopted by the ICAO. FAA regulations require all aircraft designed and certified after January 1, 2006 to comply with Stage 4 noise restrictions.

FAA regulations also require compliance with the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System, approved airborne wind shear warning system and aging aircraft regulations. Our entire fleet meets these requirements.

Brazil

Aeronautical Regulation

The Brazilian aviation industry is regulated and overseen by the ANAC. The ANAC reports directly to the Civil Aviation Secretary, which is subordinated by the Federal Executive Power of this country. Primarily on the basis of Law No. 11.182/2005, ANAC was created to regulate commercial aviation, air navigation, the assignment of domestic and international routes, compliance with certain insurance requirements, flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control, in this case sharing it activities and responsibilities with the Departamento de Controle do Espaço Aéreo (Department of Airspace Control) (“DECEA”), which is a public secretary also subordinated to the Brazilian Defense Ministry, and airport management, in this last case sharing responsibilities with the Empresa Brasileira de Infra-Estrutura Aeroportuária (the Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Company, or “INFRAERO”), a public company that was created by Law No. 5862/72, and is responsible for administrating, operating and exploring Brazilian airports industrially and commercially.

We have obtained and maintain the necessary authority from the Brazilian government to conduct flight operations, including authorization and technical operative certificates from ANAC, the continuation of which is subject to ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

ANAC is the Brazilian civil aviation authority and it is responsible for supervising compliance with Brazilian laws and regulations relating to air navigation. Brazil is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Brazilian authorities, represented by the Brazilian Defense Ministry, have incorporated into Brazilian laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Brazilian regulation concerning safety or maintenance, ANAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. Brazilian airlines are not required to obtain permits in connection with domestic passenger or cargo transportation, but only to comply with the technical requirements established by ANAC. Based on the Brazilian Aeronautical Code (“CBA”) established by Law No. 7.565/86, non-Brazilian airlines are not permitted to provide domestic air service between destinations in Brazil. The same law prevents a foreign airline from creating a Brazilian subsidiary and entering the Brazilian domestic market using that subsidiary.

International Routes. Brazilian and non-Brazilian airlines providing services on international routes are also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Brazil and various other countries. International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Brazil and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one

or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Brazil, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency ANAC must carry out a public bid and award it to the elected airline. ANAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, ANAC may terminate its rights to that route. ANAC may also terminate its right if the recipient airline does not operate at least 80% of the frequency given for that specific route.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Brazilian and non-Brazilian airlines are permitted to establish their own international and domestic fares, in this last case only for Brazilian airlines, without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. Airlines may file complaints before the Antitrust Court with respect to monopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Brazil’s antitrust laws.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Brazil is managed by ANAC, which maintains the Brazilian Aeronautical Register, as regulated by the CBA. The CBA allows ANAC to permit registration of aircraft belonging to Brazilian and non-Brazilian individuals.

Safety. ANAC requires that all Brazilian aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by ANAC. In addition, ANAC will not issue maintenance permits to a Brazilian airline until it has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. ANAC renews maintenance permits annually, and has approved our maintenance operations. Only ANAC certifies aircraft maintenance services and its personnel.

Security. ANAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Brazilian commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Brazil must submit an aviation security handbook to ANAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training.

Brazilian Airport Policy. INFRAERO supervises and manages airports in Brazil, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. INFRAERO proposes airport charges, which are approved by ANAC and are the same at all airports. At privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of ANAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation. ANAC coordinates and supervises noise regulations by regulation 121, which established noise restriction applicable to aircraft in Brazil. There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed specifically upon airlines companies, applicable to aircraft, other than Brazilian general environmental laws and regulations.

Colombia

Aeronautical Regulation

The governmental entity in charge of regulating, directing and supervising the civil aviation is the Aeronáutica Civil (“AC”), a technical agency ascribed to the Ministry of Transportation. The AC is the aeronautical authority for the entire domestic territory, in charge of regulating and supervising the Colombian air space. The AC may interpret, apply and complement all civil aviation and air transportation regulation to ensure compliance with the Colombian Aeronautical Regulations (“RAC”). The AC also grants the necessary permits for air transportation.

Route Rights

The AC grants operation permits to domestic and foreign carrier that intend to operate in, from and to Colombia. In the case of Colombian airlines in order to obtain the operational permit the company must comply with the RAC and fulfill legal, economic and technical requirements, to later be subject to public hearings where the public convenience and necessity of the service is considered. The same process must be followed to add national or international routes, whose concession is subject to the bilateral instruments entered into by Colombia. Routes cannot be transferred under any circumstance and there is no limit to foreign investment in domestic airlines.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Since July 2007, as stated in resolution 3299 of the Aeronautical Civil entity, bottom level airfares for both international and domestic transportation were eliminated. Under resolution 904 issued in February 2012, the Aeronautical Civil entity decided to liberalize the obligation of charging a fuel surcharge for both domestic and international transportation of passengers and cargo. As of April 1, 2012, air carriers may now freely decide whether or not to charge a fuel surcharge. In the case that it is charged, the fuel surcharge must be part of the fare, but may be informed separately on the tickets, advertising or other methods of marketing used by the company.

In the same line, beginning on April 1, 2012 there will no longer be any restriction on top level fares published by the airlines or with respect to the obligations for air carriers to report to the Aeronautical civil entity the fares and conditions the day after being published.

Administrative fares are not subject to any changes and its charge is an obligation for the transport of passengers under Aeronautical Civil Regulations.

Registration of Aircraft. The AC, through the Office of Aeronautical Registration, is in charge of handling the registration of aircraft that will be operated by Colombian airlines. Registration may be obtained by a registration process fully conducted in Colombia or through the validation in Colombia of a foreign registration. For such registration, the aircraft must be legally imported to the country and inspected by the aeronautical inspectors. This office is also in charge of property registrations, lease contracts and liens of the registered aircraft.

Safety. Aircraft registered in Colombia obtain an airworthiness certificate or a validation of the airworthiness certificate (if they operate under the approval of the foreign registration).

Security. Following the guidelines of the OACI annexes, the AC issued an airport security program that must be strictly complied with by all the aircraft operators in the country as well as by airports.

Environmental and Noise Regulation. In Colombia, only aircraft that comply with category 3 noise limits may operate. There are strict regulations to control noise during takeoffs and landings of the aircraft at the El Dorado Airport in Bogotá due to its location in an urban area.

Antitrust Regulation

The Chilean antitrust authority, which we refer to as the Antitrust Court (previously the Antitrust Commission), oversees antitrust matters, which are governed by Decree Law No. 211 of 1973, as amended, or the Antitrust Law. The Antitrust Law prohibits any entity from preventing, restricting or distorting competition in any market or any part of any market. The Antitrust Law also prohibits any business or businesses that have a dominant position in any market or a substantial part of any market from abusing that dominant position. An aggrieved person may sue for damages arising from a breach of Antitrust Law and/or file a complaint with the Antitrust Court requesting an order to enjoin the violation of the Antitrust Law. The Antitrust Court has the authority to impose a variety of sanctions for violations of the Antitrust Law, including termination of contracts contrary to the Antitrust Law, dissolution of a company and imposition of fines and daily penalties on businesses. Courts may award damages and other remedies (such as an injunction) in appropriate circumstances. Lan Airlines, Lan Express and Lan Cargo must comply with Chilean Antitrust Law that prohibits a carrier from abusing a dominant position in the market. As described above under “Route Rights—Air Fare Pricing Policy,” in October 1997, the Antitrust Court approved a specific self-regulatory fare plan for us consistent with the Antitrust Court’s directive to maintain a competitive environment within the domestic market.

Since October 1997, Lan Airlines and Lan Express follow a self-regulatory plan, which was modified and approved by the Tribunal de la Libre Competencia (the Competition Court) in July 2005. In February 2010, the Fiscalía Nacional Economica (the National Economic Prosecutor’s Office) finalized the investigation initiated in 2007 regarding our compliance with this self-regulatory plan and no further observations were made.

D. PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT

Headquarters

Our main facilities are located on approximately five acres of land that we own near the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. The complex includes approximately 150,695 square feet of office space, 32,292 square feet of conference space and training facilities, 9,688 square feet of dining facilities and mock-up cabins used for crew instruction. In 2004, we adapted part of this building to meet our expanding training needs. This process included developing new rooms for technical instruction, in-flight and airport services.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, we moved some of our executive offices into a new building in a more central location in Santiago, Chile, where we initially occupied a total of four floors owned by LAN. In the first half of 2005 we added three more floors to accommodate our growth requirements. These floors are also owned by LAN. In 2007, in order to accommodate the Company’s growth, LAN leased two floors in an adjacent building (totaling 18,298 square feet), where some of LAN staff moved in February 2008. We have leased these additional floors since 2007, under a 5-year lease at a rate of approximately US$46,400 per month. In 2009, to respond to the Company’s growth, LAN leased two additional floors in this building (totaling 12,917 square feet). We have leased these additional floors since 2009, under a 3-year lease at a rate of approximately US$26,800 per month. In 2010, new offices were leased east of Santiago to allow for Company growth and to implement projects such as “Host,” which involves changing our system of reservations, sales, inventory and passenger check-in. We have leased these additional offices since 2010, under a 4-year lease at a rate of approximately US$35,000 per month. These additional offices add a total of 19,913 square feet to LAN’s property.

Furthermore, during 2011 we added to our facilities a new 11,840 square feet floor at the Arrau Building located in Santiago, Chile, which we lease for the new facilities of LAN Cargo. We have leased this floor since 2011, under a 3-year lease at a rate of approximately US$29,600 per month.

Maintenance Base

Our 877,258 square feet maintenance base is located on a site that we own inside the grounds of the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. This facility contains our aircraft hangar, warehouses, workshops and offices, as well as a 559,720 square feet aircraft parking area capable of accommodating up to seventeen short-haul aircraft. We have a five-floor, 53,820 square feet office building plus a 10,000 square feet office and workshop space. This facility is certified by several civil aviation authorities, including the United States’ FAA. As such, we are permitted to perform maintenance work for third parties at the facility. The FAA periodically inspects the facility to ensure its compliance with FAA standards. In 2005, we finalized the construction of an additional hangar, as well as 75,000 square feet of aircraft parking space, for US$2.1 million. During 2006 we started a new investment plan at this facility that included building 64,580 square feet of additional aircraft parking space, a new 15,340 square feet building for offices and maintenance shops, a new 16,680 square feet engine shop and storage facility, and additional warehousing and external work space. The plan also included the upgrade of some of the current facilities, increasing parking space and building a new access road. Furthermore, in 2006 we completed the construction of an engine workshop with eight workstations and capacity for 36 engines, for a total investment of US$820,000. We also lease from the DGAC 193,750 square feet of space inside the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport for operational and service purposes. Our lease has a duration of 14 years at a rate of approximately US$42,000 per month.

In 2007, LAN approved a two-year capital expenditures plan earmarking approximately US$7.0 million for preparing our buildings and plants for the future growth of the Company and of its fleet.

During 2008, LAN finalized the construction of a 4,300 square feet warehouse especially designed for the storage of oil and flammable supplies, which complies with all the security standards required for its operation. We also upgraded some facilities such as bathrooms and dressing rooms in our maintenance base increasing the total area in 15,000 square feet.

During 2009, LAN finalized the construction of a new five-story building located in our maintenance base, which has a total surface of 49,500 square feet and represented an investment of US$5.8 million. This building has new workshops, a new food court with capacity for over 2,500 people in different shifts, two floors of new offices and meeting rooms.

Also, during 2009, LAN finalized the extension of the engine workshop, which added 900 square feet and represented an investment of US$0.5 million. This extension will be used mainly for the Boeing 777’s engine maintenance.

During 2010, LAN remodeled portions of the administrative offices in the Mario Bontempi Building and the Luis Ernesto Videla Building, which are located within the Company’s maintenance base on the ground of the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport.

Miami Facilities

We occupy a 36.3-acre site at the Miami International Airport that has been leased to us by the airport under a concession agreement. Our facilities include a 48,000 square feet corporate building, a 380,000 square feet cargo warehouse and a 783,000 square feet aircraft-parking platform, which were constructed and are now leased to us under a long-term contract by a North American developer. We began using these new facilities in September 2001 for our passenger and cargo offices (with the exception of our reservations and ticket offices). We converted 21,528 square feet of the warehouse into fully furnished offices during 2004. The consideration we pay for the use of this space is approximately US$735,000 per month.

During 2009, LAN began the extension of the cooling area in the cargo warehouse. This extension added 30,000 square feet and represented an investment of US$4.0 million. This extension was inaugurated on April 20, 2010.

During 2010, LAN signed a concession agreement with the AMB Property Corporation to add a new cargo warehouse for additional areas for future developments. Our concession has a duration of 5 years at a rate of approximately US$215,000 per month.

Other Facilities

We own a building and sixteen acres of land on the west side of the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport that houses a flight-training center. As of February 29, 2011, this facility features three full-flight simulators for Boeing 767, Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft. We leased this flight-training center under a long-term lease to CAE Inc. (a leading Canadian company in the flight training business) at a rate of approximately US$18,000 per month. These full-flight simulators were expanded during the second semester of 2011. We own a 661,980-square feet warehouse in Santiago, which includes 91,493 square feet of space for offices and other administrative facilities and 45,000 square feet distribution center. LAN currently leases the property to Blue Express, former subsidiaries of LAN that were sold on April 6, 2011 to Bethia.

In 2004, Fast Air Almacenes de Carga S.A. (“Fast Air”), one of our subsidiaries that operate import customs warehouses, began utilizing an import warehouse and office building at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. This 172,000 square feet building was developed in conjunction with two other operators. We have leased these facilities from 2004, under a 9-year lease at a rate of approximately US$200,000 per month.

We have also developed a recreational facility for our employees with Airbus’ support. The facility, denominated “Parque LAN,” is located in land that we own near the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. Parque LAN includes amenities such as a gymnasium, synthetic fields for multiple uses and swimming pools.

During 2008, we acquired a 43,000 square feet piece of land in Chile, which represented a US$12 million investment, for the purpose of constructing our new corporate building.

During 2008, we acquired a 161,000 square feet piece of land near the Lima airport, which will host new facilities for the Company. Currently, the construction of this building is on-hold. In March 2009, we began the construction of a new maintenance base in Argentina. The project included a new hangar of 26,900 square feet with 9,600 square feet of offices, 1,070 square feet of workshops and an exterior platform of 5,300 square feet. This project comprised a US$3.2 million investment and was completed in 2009.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. Operating Results

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes beginning on page F-13 of this annual report.

The summary consolidated annual financial information as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, has been prepared in accordance with IFRS and has been derived from our audited consolidated annual financial statements included in this annual report.

Overview

The principal and most distinctive aspect of our business model is the way in which we integrate our passenger and cargo activities. Our sophisticated service-oriented approach to combining passenger and cargo traffic enables us to better utilize our aircraft, reduce our break-even load factors on passenger flights, and diversify our revenue streams. Furthermore, the geographically diversified nature of the passenger and cargo networks of LAN and its subsidiaries provide additional diversification in our operations and reduce exposure to any single market. These benefits have helped us maintain strong profitability and expand our operations consistently in recent years, despite volatile macroeconomic conditions and various external shocks that have affected the airline industry over the years.

Approximately 98% of our revenues are generated by our air transport activities. We generate the balance of our operating revenues from tour operator services, aircraft leases, on-board sales, third-party maintenance, ground handling, customs and storage brokerage operations and the divested courier unit which was sold in April 2011.

Our operating environment in 2011 was marked by continued growth in both cargo and passenger operations compared with 2010, coupled with fuel price increases which impacted our operating costs and to a lesser extent influenced the increase in yields. The Company demonstrated its ability to manage higher fuel prices through its fuel surcharge policy and financial hedging strategy in addition to tactical capacity adjustments on certain routes. Additionally our operations were impacted by the volcanic ash cloud resulting from the eruption of the Puyehue volcano in the south of Chile that took place from the second quarter 2011 and appeared in a discontinuous manner throughout the remaining part of the year. Costs were also impacted by the consolidation of LAN’s Colombian operations starting in January 2011, and one-time costs related to the startup and turnaround of Aires’ operations, which generated an operating loss of US$51.7 million in 2011.

During 2011, growth in passenger demand was driven by growth in both domestic and international markets in the region. Latin America continues to show strong traffic growth on international and domestic routes, supported by robust economic conditions in LAN’s home markets. Similarly during this period, cargo demand in the region showed solid growth as a result of continued trade activity mainly supported by markets such as Brazil, in which currency appreciation has a positive impact on trade imports. While competition on both passenger and cargo routes has grown gradually since 2006, during this period the growth of import flows to Latin America continued. Weaker cargo markets globally have driven additional competition to South America, especially Brazil, and have also resulted in higher competitive activity within the region. On the other hand, export volumes in Chile have recovered, partly driven by the gradual resurgence of salmon exports. Changes in competitive conditions in specific markets still generate opportunities for us to expand. Certain factors outside of our control, such as fuel prices that have risen consistently since 2002, and reached historically record-high levels in mid-2008, have also generated significant cost pressures. During 2011, fuel prices again increased as compared to 2010.

Our results for the period between 2010 and 2011 reflect our efforts in recent years to expand and diversify our revenue base while maintaining an efficient cost base. We have aimed to effectively respond to the opportunities and challenges presented by the expansion and diversification of our revenue base. This process included continuing the

expansion of our domestic passenger operations in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador and starting passenger operations in Colombia through the purchase of Aires in November 2010. As a result, we have significantly increased our passenger capacity and redeployed our assets in response to specific opportunities. In the cargo business, we have adjusted our routes and our capacity mix to adapt to changing cargo flows and we have expanded cargo operations within the region and on long haul routes to take advantage of existing opportunities. We have also launched initiatives to enhance customer preference and increase efficiency. These initiatives have enabled us to maintain a solid market position and to develop new mechanisms to sustain high levels of profitability despite facing unprecedented high fuel prices during 2008, the negative effects of the global economic crisis during 2009, and natural disasters such as the earthquake and volcano eruption in Chile during 2010 and 2011, respectively. As a result, net income amounted to US$336.5 million in 2008, US$231.1 million in 2009, US$419.7 million in 2010 and US$320.2 million in 2011.

Our operating results during 2011 evidenced our ability to leverage continued growth opportunities in both cargo and passenger markets, enhancing our leadership position in Latin America and reflecting our ability to face and mitigate impacts of adverse scenarios such as fuel price volatility and natural disasters. Based on our diversified, solid and flexible business model, as well as our consistent track record and solid balance sheet, we are continuously improving the Company’s long-term strategic position by addressing opportunities, strengthening our market presence and increasing competitiveness.

Passenger Operations

In general, our passenger revenues are driven by international and country-specific political and economic conditions, competitive activity, the attractiveness of the destinations that we serve, and the capacity we allocate among our different routes.

Passenger demand has grown in the last years, driven by positive economic conditions in Latin America. Economic growth and improved customer confidence have led to an expansion in both business and leisure traffic to and from Latin America. Increased interest in travel into South America from Europe and the United States has been another factor positively impacting overall passenger traffic. As a consequence, passenger volumes in markets such as Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador grew significantly between 2010 and 2011. LAN’s traffic growth during 2011, which reached 15.9%, was also based on a capacity expansion plan driven by the net delivery of eighteen new passenger aircraft during the year plus the incorporation of Colombian operations through the Aires acquisition, which contributed approximately 4.5% to our total capacity measured by ASKs.

Competitive activity on both our domestic and international passenger routes has also varied over the last several years. On our international routes, competition gradually increased as both incumbent and new competitors expanded their operations. Nevertheless, we have maintained our market share in most of our international markets since 2005 and have gradually increased our presence in the domestic markets of Chile and Argentina, as well as in international routes. We also initiated domestic operations in Ecuador in April 2009 and in Colombia, through the acquisition of Aires in November 2010. In December 2011 Aires was rebranded as LAN Colombia.

During 2011 the combined yield for the international and domestic passenger businesses increased 11.2%, reflecting the strong demand and increase in fuel surcharges, in line with the increase of WTI prices and the crack spread. The growth rates in traffic and capacity in 2011 included inorganic growth resulting from the inclusion of LAN Colombia’s domestic and international operations, partially offset by the volcanic ash cloud that disrupted air traffic throughout the region.

During 2010 the combined yield for the international and domestic passenger businesses experienced a 6.8% increase, reflecting the recovery and growth in demand experienced in 2010 against 2009 when yields experienced a 16.2% decrease compared with 2008, as a result of the economic crisis that affected passenger demand for air flights in 2009 and a high comparison base in 2008 as fuel surcharges incorporated in the yields drove the increase in fuel prices during that year.

Overall, despite adverse and uncontrollable factors such as fuel prices increase and natural disasters, market conditions on the passenger business provided us with opportunities to advance on our strategic development plans and expand our operations. We addressed these by taking advantage of our integrated business model, efficient operations, continued customer focus, and flexible capacity management. Customer focus has provided a key tool to address competitive challenges as well as to successfully enter new markets.

We also took advantage of our flexibility to adapt capacity quickly in response to demand shocks or market opportunities. We actively manage our capacity by transferring capacity between routes or adding new aircraft when necessary. This enabled us to rapidly respond by adding capacity in the Peruvian domestic market during 2004 and supporting the launch of LAN Argentina’s domestic operations in 2005, as well as launching the latter’s international operations in October 2006, launching domestic operations in Ecuador in April 2009 and launching Colombian domestic operations in November 2010.

These opportunistic actions fit in with our long-term development strategy, which is aimed at consolidating LAN as the preferred carrier in South America. This plan incorporates development of domestic, regional and intercontinental routes in the markets we serve. Continuous monitoring of demand trends and competitive activity has allowed us to identify opportunities and, as a consequence, additional capacity has also been allocated to operations to the South Pacific, Europe and the United States, as well as to specific regional routes. We also shifted capacity among our routes in order to better match seasonal patterns in flights to the United States and to other destinations. Further refinements to our itineraries were also implemented in order to improve connectivity between our operations and those of our partners.

During 2011 we experienced a significant operating impact due to the presence of volcanic ash resulting from the eruption of the Puyehue volcano in southern Chile during the month of June. The displacement of ashes periodically affected operations in Argentina, southern Chile and our South Pacific route to Australia and New Zealand. Although the volcanic activity has been reduced, it is highly unpredictable. Our focus during this emergency was to maintain the safety of our operations, resulting in tactical cancellations on the affected routes based on available information. In addition, our commercial policies have focused on providing maximum flexibility for rescheduling flights, in order to avoid an impact on demand. Overall, we estimate a negative impact of US$36.6 million dollars as a result of decreased revenue, passenger compensations and higher fuel costs due to itinerary changes.

LAN’s flexibility and broad passenger network also allowed us to manage the negative impact of the catastrophic earthquake that struck Chile in February 2010, causing significant damage to the terminal building at the Santiago International Airport and affecting all air travel in and out of the country. With no alternative airport in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, commercial passenger operations were suspended for three days, and were re-launched on March 2, 2010 with provisional facilities. LAN operated with reduced capacity out of Santiago until the terminal building was fully operational on March 28, 2010. LAN estimates the net impact of decreased passenger operations due to the earthquake were approximately US$30 million in 2010. Cargo operations were not materially affected by the earthquake, nor were the passenger operations of LAN or its subsidiaries in Peru, Ecuador and Argentina.

We have also enhanced our regional network by selectively adding new destinations and launching new routes. Since 2004, we have been developing an intra-regional hub in Lima. We have launched several routes that enable us to effectively use Lima as a connecting point for passengers traveling between Mexico City, Bogotá, Caracas, Guayaquil, Quito, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Santa Cruz, Sao Paulo and Santiago de Chile. In 2007, we began direct service between Lima and Madrid; in 2008, we began service to Medellín, Colombia (with one stop in Quito); and in 2009, we began service from Lima to Cali via Quito and from Lima to Punta Cana, Cancun and Cordoba. Regarding long-haul operations, in July 2010, LAN Peru launched four weekly frequencies between Lima and San Francisco, with connections from Sao Paulo, Santiago and Buenos Aires. During the first half of 2010 the Company implemented various new passenger destinations. We plan to continue growing our operation in Lima by increasing the number of flight frequencies we operate on these routes as we did during 2011 with Miami and Bogota and also by adding new destinations.

 

   

On May 10, 2010, LAN Argentina launched three daily flights between Santiago and Aeroparque airport in Buenos Aires and in June 2010 it launched services between Aeroparque and Sao Paulo, among others. In December 2011, LAN Argentina’s permits for regional flights from Aeroparque were cancelled by the Argentinean Aeronautical Authority, while the affected flight Buenos Aires – Santiago was reassigned to Ezeiza Airport. In both the Chilean and Peruvian domestic markets, total domestic traffic increased during 2011, driven mainly by the positive macroeconomic scenarios in both markets and by attractive fare structures in line with the model for short-haul operations that we implemented in 2007.

Between 2005 and 2011, LAN Argentina increased the number of Argentine domestic destinations from six to fifteen and, based on internal estimates, our market share was approximately 30% as of December 2011.

 

   

By the end of 2008, Ecuador’s aeronautical authority, CNAC, granted LAN Ecuador permission to operate domestic flights within the country. These operations started in April 2009 with flights between the cities of Quito and Guayaquil. As of December 2011, LAN Ecuador was operating sixty-three flights a week between Guayaquil and Quito, one of the most heavily traveled routes in Latin America, as well as fourteen flights a week from Quito to Cuenca and seven flights a week from Guayaquil to Cuenca. In September 2010, LAN Ecuador launched regular service to the Galapagos Islands, offering a daily flight from both Quito and Guayaquil. Finally, in November 2011, LAN Ecuador incorporated two additional weekly flights to the airport of San Cristobal in the Galapagos Islands. LAN Ecuador had 25.6% market share in the domestic market of Ecuador as of December 2011.

Cargo Operations

Our cargo operations depend on exports from and imports to South America and are, therefore, affected by economic conditions, foreign exchange rates, changes in international trade, the health of particular industries, competition and fuel prices (which we usually pass on to our customers through a cargo fuel surcharge). The relative size of inbound and outbound flows to a particular market or route is a key element in cargo operations as the unidirectional nature of freight flows requires airlines to create routes that combine origin-destination pairs that feature complementary freight flows. Changes in macroeconomic conditions may lead to major fluctuations in cargo flows to and from Latin America, therefore requiring continuous route and capacity adjustments.

The flexibility that this business model allows based on adaptation to changes in market trends was key for LAN’s operations in 2009 when the business was affected by the contraction of import and export markets in response to the global economic crisis. In addition, LAN Cargo saw a sharp drop in salmon exports from Chile as a result of an outbreak of the ISA virus. During 2009 LAN received two Boeing 777 freighters at a time where there was a decrease in demand in cargo operations. These aircraft were utilized to increase capacity, mainly on routes between South America and Europe. Not only did the incorporation of these cargo planes increase capacity, but they also helped the company expand its coverage beyond the region and strengthen its cargo services to Europe; LAN currently operates routes between Frankfurt and Brazil, Argentina and Chile, Ecuador and Colombia and Amsterdam and Frankfurt.

During 2009 the Company achieved an important step in regional expansion. Colombia is Latin America’s largest market for exports by air transport to the United States, exporting an estimated 167,000 tons annually. In March 2009, LAN Cargo launched LANCO, after successfully obtaining the necessary operational and technical certification. It launched its services with two latest-generation Boeing 767-300Fs, with a capacity for 54 tons of freight, connecting the cities of Bogotá and Medellin with Miami.

In addition, in March 2009, the Company’s cargo subsidiary in Brazil, ABSA, began operations in the country’s domestic market, with one flight daily - from Monday to Friday - between the cities of Sao Paulo and Manaus. On this route, ABSA operates an advanced-technology Boeing 767-300F with a capacity of 54 tons. This route accounts for a large part of Brazil’s airfreight traffic. Manaus is the country’s fourth largest city in terms of GDP, with a large number of companies, principally in the electronics sector, in its industrial pole. The special tax incentives offered by the Amazon capital of Manaus as part of efforts to promote the area’s development, make it an attractive alternative for exporter and importer clients. During 2010, the Company opened a route between Sao Paulo and Fortaleza and Sao Paulo and Recife. During 2011 the Company added a route between Sao Paulo, Belem and Manaus.

Regarding the cargo fleet, during 2012, the Company expects delivery of 2 Boeing 777F freighter aircraft during the second half of the year.

As the economy started to recover at the end of 2009, and continuing through 2010 and 2011, LAN was able to take advantage of the new capacity and growth opportunities in various markets; as a result, the cargo business played an important role in driving LAN’s revenue growth in 2010 and 2011.

Cargo traffic increased 11.5% between 2010 and 2011, from 3,239 million in cargo revenue ton kilometers in 2010 to 3,612 million cargo revenue ton kilometers in 2011. This improvement was positive compared to the 0.8% decrease experienced by the international air cargo industry, while the Latin-American cargo segment experienced a 1.5% growth. The Company increased its capacity by approximately 12.4%, resulting in a 0.5 point decrease in its load factor to 69.6%. The increase in capacity was mainly driven by LAN’s incorporation of two new Boeing 767-300F freighters in December 2010 and January 2011. These aircraft were assigned to boost growth in the Latin American, United States West Coast and Mexican markets, as well as by higher utilization of the freighter fleet. LAN Cargo transported 875 thousand tons of freight in 2011, an increase of 12.2% as compared to 2010.

In 2011, LAN’s cargo revenues rose in 23.1% to US$1.577 million, representing 27.6% of the Company’s total annual revenues. The growth in revenues also reflects the 10.4% increase in cargo yields that year.

Cost Structure

LAN’s costs are generally driven by the size of our operations, fuel prices, fleet costs and exchange rates.

As an airline, we are subject to fluctuations in costs that are outside our control, particularly fuel prices and exchange rates. However, we manage part of our exposure to changes in fuel prices through a fuel-hedging policy and the use of pass-through mechanisms on both the passenger and cargo businesses. For more information see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk of Fluctuations in Jet Fuel Prices”. Personnel expenses are another significant component of our overall costs. Because a significant portion of our labor costs is denominated in pesos, appreciation of the peso against the dollar as well as increases in local inflation rates can result in increased costs in dollar terms and can negatively affect our results. However, this cost pressure is mitigated by the partial natural hedge between the currencies of denomination of our total operating revenues and expenses.

Commission to travel and cargo agents also compose a significant cost to us. We compete with other airlines over the amount of commission we pay per sale, particularly in connection with special programs and marketing efforts, and to maintain competitive incentives with travel agents. In February 2007 we reduced commission paid to agents in Chile for economy class ticket sales from 6% to 1%. Between 2007 and 2008, commissions were also reduced to 1% in Ecuador, Argentina and Peru.

Fleet related expenses, namely aircraft rentals and depreciation are another significant cost. These costs are mainly fixed and can be reduced on a per unit basis by achieving higher daily aircraft utilization rates.

During 2011, LAN’s operating costs increased in 35.4%, mainly impacted by an increase of 28.8% in fuel prices which led to US$588.1 million in increased fuel expenses and contributed to a 18.0% increase in cost per ATK (a key industry metric). Excluding fuel costs, the increase in cost per ATK over this period was 10.6%. In addition, the Company recognized a US$39.9 million fuel hedge gain compared to a US$1.0 million fuel hedge gain in 2010.

Apart from higher expenditure on fuel, the Company paid higher wages and salaries due to a higher average headcount that is in-line with the Company’s operational expansion, and the impact of the appreciation of Latin American currencies in 2011.

We have launched various efficiency-related initiatives aimed at reducing fuel consumption and increasingly incorporating efficient aircraft into the fleet.

Higher aircraft utilization has been an important source of improved efficiency. Our long-haul passenger and cargo aircraft are used, on average, over 13.0 hours per day (Boeing 767-300 12.8 hrs per day and Airbus A340 14.2 hours per day). Our utilization strategy in 2011 was mostly designed in concert with the addition of new routes to

our network, which enabled us to leverage our human and physical assets for increased efficiency as well as increasing frequencies. In domestic operations we have also worked consistently to improve our cost structure. This process has included initiatives such as the modification of short-haul service standards, which were implemented in late 2005 and modified further in 2007 as a result of the new business model on domestic routes, enabling us to reduce passenger service expenses. The key elements of this new business model have been a reduction in sales and distribution costs through higher Internet penetration and reduced agency commission, a faster turnaround time, and increased self check-in service through web check-in and kiosks at airports.

In addition, during 2009 we implemented LEAN, a system for improving our processes by eliminating activities that do not add value to processes (thus increasing the value of each activity and suppressing those that are superfluous), thereby allowing us to reduce costs, and increase customer satisfaction. In addition, during 2011 we continued to install winglets on our Boeing 767 aircraft fleet, achieving fuel efficiencies of approximately 5% per aircraft. To mitigate the environmental impact of our operations we strive to operate in a sustainable manner by reducing our fuel consumption and related emissions.

Outlook

Our long-term strategy is aimed at consolidating LAN’s position as the main passenger and cargo airline in South America. We will continue to expand our network by further developing our existing routes, adding new destinations, developing new alliances, and entering new markets. We expect our brand recognition and a continuous effort to improve service standards to drive increased customer preference, ultimately leading to strong market shares in the markets we serve. Our product and service design is aimed at providing passengers and cargo customers with differentiated offerings that provide valuable solutions to the needs of each of our customer types. We also aim to have products and services that evolve together with changes in technology, market conditions and competitive actions. We plan to maintain a highly competitive cost structure by leveraging our cost-conscious culture, incorporating new technologies and practices, and by identifying and implementing adequate cost-reduction and efficiency-related initiatives. We believe that a focus on flexibility will enable us to adequately react to changing market conditions. Finally, a healthy financial structure will allow us to effectively fund our growth, enhance our strategic development and reinforce our customer appeal.

Our results will be mainly determined by the expansion of our current network, the evolution of our market share in our main markets, our level of success in entering new markets, the continued implementation of new efficiency-related programs, the continued implementation of our business model for short-haul operations, and fuel price levels.

 

   

We plan to increase frequencies on long-haul flights out of Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Argentina, and eventually add new destinations in the United States and Europe. We plan to reinforce our regional network through the addition of new frequencies on our current routes and the addition of new destinations. We plan in a next step to expand international operations through LAN Colombia. As of February 29, 2012, LAN Colombia operates only one international route from El Dorado airport in Bogotá to Miami. We will also seek to enter into new alliances in both the passenger and cargo business, especially to build up our presence in new markets.

 

   

Competitive activity in key markets has increased gradually in recent years, and we expect it to continue doing so in the future. Nevertheless, we expect to maintain solid market shares based on offering attractive value propositions that combine broad international and domestic networks, a strong customer focus and a competitive cost base.

 

   

We are also working on increasing efficiency by streamlining our support processes, reducing commercial costs, and by continuing with the implementation of our new business model on short-haul operations. Further enhancements should arise from economies of scale, especially as solid growth in the passenger business accompanied by controlled fixed costs will serve to dilute our fixed costs base. In both the passenger and the cargo business, efficiencies are also expected to come from the replacement of older aircraft with new and more fuel-efficient Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 models and from efficiency-related initiatives such as installing winglets on the B767 fleet as well as continuing to adjust aircraft configuration to market demand.

Our financial performance will also be highly dependent on jet fuel prices. These prices rose significantly until mid-2008, which led to a sharp rise in our fuel expenditures, but significantly declined in 2009. Presently, there is a trend towards increases in jet fuel prices because of the increased demand caused by the 2010 recovery in the global economy coupled with geopolitical conflicts that affected global fuel supply in the last year. Although we have implemented a number of strategies to mitigate the impact of the volatility of fuel prices, including financial hedging, the use of fuel surcharges, and tactical reduction of capacity, it is unlikely that we will be able to fully protect ourselves against the volatility of fuel costs.

Overall, we believe that these initiatives will enable us to successfully respond to growth opportunities, maintain a solid competitive position, and enhance our distinct cost performance.

US$320.2 million in 2011, mainly due to the impact of the startup of LAN’s operations in Colombia and the volcanic ash cloud that disrupted air traffic throughout the region, which amounted to approximately US$51.7 million and US$36.6 million respectively, as well as 34.2% higher fuel prices, a portion of which was not recovered via the fuel surcharge mechanism.

The revenue increase during 2011 continues to reflect solid demand trends in both passenger and cargo operations. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 71.8% and 28.2% of total operating revenues, respectively. Passenger yields increased mainly as a result of an increase in fuel surcharges, in line with the increase of WTI prices and the crack spread.

Passenger traffic and capacity in 2011 included LAN Colombia’s domestic and international operations. Capacity increases focused mainly on domestic routes within Chile, regional routes within Latin America, and long-haul routes to the United States. This expansion was partially offset by decreased capacity on long haul routes to Europe as a result of itinerary changes implemented in 2011, mainly the cancellation of the route between Madrid and Paris in July, 2011.

Operating costs increased mainly due to higher fuel costs of US$454.7 million, reflecting increased consumption of 12.2%, a 28.8% increase after hedges in fuel prices, higher wages and salaries driven by the appreciation of Latin America currencies, and higher headcount resulting from the consolidation of Aires.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues in 2011 totaled US$5,585.4 million, a 27.2% increase as compared to total operating revenues of US$4,390.5 million in 2010. Our consolidated passenger revenues increased 28.9% to US$4,008.9 million in 2011 from US$3,109.8 million in 2010, due to a 11.2% increase in yields (from US¢9.4 to US¢10.4), and passenger load factors, which increased from 78.3% in 2010 to 79.8% in 2011 as the 15.9% increase in traffic outpaced the 13.7% capacity increase. Overall, revenues per ASK increased 13.4%. Traffic grew as a result of a 23.7% increase in domestic traffic (including domestic operations by LAN and its affiliates in Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador), and a 12.6% increase in international traffic. International traffic accounted for approximately 68.1% of our total passenger traffic during 2011. At system level, yields increased 11.9% as a result of solid demand trends in both passenger and cargo operations that were also affected by fuel surcharges.

Domestic passenger revenues in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia which accounted for approximately 39% of our total passenger revenues in 2011 as compared to approximately 35% in 2010, increased 42.2% to US$1,540.8 million in 2011 from US$1,093.0 million in 2010. Domestic passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs) increased 23.7%, while domestic passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 23.5%, resulting in a increase in load factor from 77.7% in 2010 to 77.8% in 2011. Domestic passenger yield increased 17.6% from US¢10.8 in 2010 to US¢12.7 in 2011, mainly due to strong increases in traffic and to a lesser extent fuel surcharges.

International passenger revenues, which accounted for approximately 61% of total passenger revenues in 2011 as compared to approximately 65% of passenger revenues in 2010, increased 21.7% to US$2,454.4 million in 2011 from US$2,016.9 million in 2010. International passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs) increased 12.6%, while passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 9.4% in 2011, resulting in an improvement in load factor from 78.5% in 2010 to 80.8% in 2011. Total international passenger yield (based on RPKs) increased 8.1% to US¢9.4 in 2011 from US¢8.7 in 2010, driven by the inclusion of fuel surcharges and solid demand.

Cargo revenues increased 23.1%, to US$1,576.5 million in 2011 from US$1,280.7 million in 2010, mainly driven by a 10.4% increase in yields (US¢43.6 in 2011 from US¢39.5 in 2010), and coupled with an 11.5% increase in traffic. In 2011, cargo traffic was driven by solid demand in the region reflected in growth in Latin American cargo markets, as well as improved revenue management practices and itinerary optimization. On the other hand capacity increased 12.4% during 2011. As a consequence, load factors decreased from 70.1% in 2010 to 69.6% in 2011, while revenues per ATK increased 9.5% as compared to 2010.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in 2011 totaled US$4,078.6 million, representing a 35.4 % increase as compared to cost of sales of US$3,012.7 million in 2010. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales increased from 68.6% in 2010 to 73.0 % in 2011, mainly as a result of higher fuel prices compared to 2010 and higher costs related to the consolidation of LAN’s Colombian operations.

The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which totaled US$1,750.1 million in 2011, a 50.6% increase as compared to aircraft fuel expenses of US$1,161.9 million in 2010. Fuel expenses increased mainly due to a 37.2% increase in unhedged jet fuel prices (34.2% in the hedged price), coupled with a 12.2% increase in consumption. However, the Company recognized a US$39.9 million fuel hedge gain, compared to a US$1.0 million fuel hedge gain in 2010, resulting in a 28.8% increase in fuel prices after hedges.

Fuel costs comprise the single largest category of our operating expenses. Over the last few years, our fuel consumption and operating expenses have increased due to the significant growth in our operations and to the increase in fuel prices as a result of economic and political factors. In 2011, the foregoing trend was affected by geopolitical instability in the Middle East and the total fuel costs represented 33.8% of our total operating expenses. The into-wing (fuel price plus taxes and transportation costs) 2011 average final price was US$3.11 per gallon, representing a 34.2% increase from the 2010 average.

Depreciation and amortization increased 17.8% mainly due to the incorporation in 2011 under property, plant and equipments of four new Airbus A319, 9 new Airbus A320s, and three Boeing 767-300s and the incorporation of additional aircrafts under operating leases.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 51.2%, from US$120.7 million in 2010 to US$182.4 million in 2011 mainly due to the incorporation of the LAN Colombia´s fleet and the delivery of four Airbus A319 and 13 Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, three Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft and one Boeing 767-300F freighter. The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.

Aircraft Rentals increased 76.7% due to the incorporation of LAN Colombia’s fleet, consisting of nine Boeing 737-700s, 10 Dash 8-200s and four Dash 8-Q400s. Additionally, this increase considered the incorporation in 2011 of six leased Airbus A320s, and one leased Boeing 767-300F freighter.

Passenger service expenses totaled US$136.0 million in 2011 compared to US$114.2 million in 2010. This represented a 19.1% increase that was driven by a 30.6% increase in the number of passengers transported during the year, as well as higher compensation paid to passengers during this period.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased 9.4% from US$1,377.8 million in 2010 to US$1,506.8 million in 2011.

Other operating income remained stable at to US$132.8 million in 2010 and 2011, where growth in revenues from tours and travel services, duty free sales and maintenance services were offset by the exclusion of revenues from Blue Express, LAN’s logistic and courier subsidiary sold in early April 2011.

Interest income decreased by 2.7% to US$14.5 million in 2011 from US$14.9 million in 2010, due to a lower average cash balance during the period.

Distribution costs increased 25.1% from US$383.5 million in 2010 to US$479.8 million in 2011. This increase was caused by higher overall commissions to agents (related to both passenger and cargo sales), which increased 20.7% to US$209.3 million in 2011 from US$173.4 million in 2010, and by a. 27.2% increase in traffic revenues (passenger and cargo), partially offset by a 0.2 point reduction in average commissions. This reduction was mainly related to lower commissions in the cargo business.

Administrative expenses increased 22.3% from US$331.8 million in 2010 to US$405.7 million in 2011 due to the higher wages of administrative personnel and higher asset (non aircraft) depreciation, as a result of additions in 2010 and 2011.

Other operating expenses increased 24.4% from US$172.4 million in 2010 to US$214.4 million in 2011, as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses and costs related to tours and travel services.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) decreased by 10.4% to US$139.1 million in 2011 from US$155.3 million in 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 (PDPs), in line with the accounting policy regarding these payments (IFRS).

Exchange rate differences decreased from a gain of US$13.8 million in 2010 to an expense of US$0.3 million in 2011. The 2010 amount was a result of a recognized US$5.4 million gain that mainly stemmed from foreign exchange variations during the period; part of the exchange gain was a result of remittances from LAN’s operations in Venezuela. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk of Variation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates”, for a discussion of LAN’s hedging program for currency fluctuations. On December 31, 2011, the Company held US$25.9 million in assets located in Venezuela, of which over 92.0% constituted cash equivalents. On a consolidated basis, the Company’s assets related to its operations in Venezuela represented 0.4% of the total assets of the Company. For the year 2011, operating revenues of the Venezuelan regional office represented 1.2% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. In Venezuela, effective 2003, the authorities decreed that all remittances abroad should be approved by the Currency Management Commission (CADIVI). Despite having free availability of bolivares in Venezuela, the Company has certain restrictions for freely remitting these funds outside Venezuela. Since January 2010, exchange rate for Venezuelan Bolivars (VEF) is fixed to 4.3 VEF/US$ .The Company’s operations in Venezuela are carried out through an agency that, from an accounting perspective, is considered an extension of the Company. Therefore, the functional currency is the US dollar and hyperinflationary accounting is not required.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a US$14.1 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). (See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Cargo Operations—Cargo-Related Investigations”).

Under other net earnings (losses), the Company recorded a US$33.0 million loss, reflecting the US$66 million charge related to the civil class action in the cargo business, partially offset by the US$45 million gain from the sale of Blue Express. This loss also included a one-time charge of UF 116,091 (US$5.0 million) resulting from a settlement agreement with Chilean airline PAL regarding the pending legal proceeding before the TDLC and their appeal before the Chilean Supreme Court in connection with the merger process between LAN and TAM.

Income tax expenses decreased by 23.8%, amounting to US$61.8 million in 2011 as compared to US$81.1 million in 2010. This decrease was primarily the result of a 23.8% decrease in pre-tax income, For more information, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Taxes” below and Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Year ended December 31, 2010 compared to year ended December 31, 2009

Net Income

Net income for the period increased 80.6% from US$233.0 million in 2009 to US$420.9 million in 2010. Net income attributable to the parent company’s equity holders increased 81.6% from US$231.1 million in 2009 to US$419.7 million in 2010.

The revenue increase during 2010 was driven by the recovery of the world economy and the strong capacity expansion in both the passenger and cargo businesses. In addition, the traffic increased strongly, driving yields and load factors higher.

Operating costs increased mainly due to higher fuel prices, higher wages and salaries driven by the appreciation of Latin America currencies, as well as higher costs related to ACMI leases in the cargo business.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues in 2010 totaled US$4,390.5 million, a 24.8% increase as compared to total operating revenues of US$3,519.2 million in 2009. Our consolidated passenger revenues increased 18,5% to US$3,109.8

million in 2010 from US$2,623.6 million in 2009, due to a 6.8% increase in yields (from US¢8.8 to US¢9.4), and passenger load factors, which increased from 76.9% in 2009 to 78.3% in 2010 as the 11.2% increase in traffic outpaced the 9.2% capacity increase. Overall, revenues per ASK increased 8.5%. Traffic grew as a result of a 10.6% increase in domestic traffic (including domestic operations by LAN and its affiliates in Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador), and an 11.3% increase in international traffic. International traffic accounted for approximately 70% of our total passenger traffic during 2010. Yields increased 6.8% as a result of a stronger demand environment driven by world economy recovery during the year.

Domestic passenger revenues in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador, which accounted for approximately 35% of our total passenger revenues in 2010 as compared to approximately 36% in 2009, increased 14.7% to US$1,072.4 million in 2010 from US$934.9 million in 2009. Domestic passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs) increased 10.5%, while domestic passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 6.6%, resulting in a increase in load factor from 74.9% in 2009 to 77.7% in 2010. Domestic passenger yield increased 3.7% from US¢10.4 in 2009 to US¢10.8 in 2010, mainly due to strong increases in traffic.

International passenger revenues, which accounted for approximately 65% of total passenger revenues in 2010 as compared to approximately 64% of passenger revenues in 2009, increased 20.7% to US$2,018.2 million in 2010 from US$1,672.0 million in 2009. International passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs) increased 11.3%, while passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 10.4% in 2010, resulting in an improvement in load factor from 77.8% in 2009 to 78.5% in 2010. Total international passenger yield (based on RPKs) increased 8.7% to US¢8.7 in 2010 from US¢8.0 in 2009, driven by strong world economy recovery.

Cargo revenues increased 43.0%, to US$1,280.7 million in 2010 from US$895.6 million in 2009, mainly driven by a 24.8% increase in yields (US¢41.6 in 2010 from US¢35.7 in 2009), and coupled with a 23.5% increase in traffic. In 2010, cargo traffic was driven by a strong recovery and growth in the global cargo markets, as well as better revenue management practices capacity increased 20.5% during 2010. As a consequence, load factors increased from 68.4% in 2009 to 70.1% in 2010. Revenues per ATK also increased 18.7% as compared to 2009.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in 2010 totaled US$3,012.7 million, representing a 19.4% increase as compared to cost of sales of US$2,522.8 million in 2009. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales decreased from 71.7% in 2009 to 68.6% in 2010, as a result of higher traffic and yields compared to 2009.

The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which totaled US$1,161.9 million in 2010, a 21.1% increase as compared to aircraft fuel expenses of US$959.6 million in 2009. Fuel expenses increased 21.1% mainly due to a 26.4% increase in unhedged jet fuel prices (9.4% in the hedged price), coupled with a 10.7% increase in consumption. However, the Company recognized a US$1.0 million fuel hedge gain, compared to a US$128.7 million fuel hedge loss in 2009.

In addition, the Company recorded higher ACMI leases in the cargo business due to the expansion in the cargo business. Depreciation expenses increased mainly due to the incorporation of one new Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft in February 2010 and eight new Airbus A320 aircraft between July and December 2010. For further information on depreciation policies, please refer to “Critical Accounting Policies” below, and Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Aircraft maintenance expenses decreased by 0.3%, from US$121.0 million in 2009 to US$120.6 million in 2010, due to lower maintenance payments to third parties, which offset the effects of a larger fleet. Aircraft rental expenses increased mainly due to an increase in the average rental cost due to the delivery of two leased Boeing 777 freighters in April and May 2009, two leased Airbus A320s in September 2010 and two leased Boeing 767-300 freighters in November and December 2010. Wages and benefits expenses increased mainly because of a higher average headcount, which is in-line with the Company’s operational expansion, an appreciation of Latin American currencies, and an increase in variable bonus payments, which were in line with higher profits obtained in 2010.

Passenger service expenses totaled US$114.2 million in 2010 compared to US$92.8 million in 2009. This represented a 23.1% increase that was driven by a 12.3% increase in the number of passengers transported during the year, as well as higher compensation paid to passengers during this period.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased 38.3% from US$996.4 million in 2009 to US$1,377.8 million in 2010.

Other operating income decreased by 2.6% to US$132.8 million in 2010 from US$136.4 million in 2009, mainly because of a decrease in tour and travel services and lower revenues from aircraft leases, which were partially offset by higher revenues from storage and custom services to third parties. Interest income decreased by 18.1% to US$14.9 million in 2010 from US$18.2 million in 2009, mainly due to lower average interest rates.

Distribution costs increased 17.3% from US$327.0 million in 2009 to US$383.5 million in 2010. This increase was caused by higher overall commissions to agents (related to both passenger and cargo sales), which increased by 20.5% to US$173.4 million in 2010 from US$143.9 million in 2009, and by a 24.8% increase in traffic revenues (for both passenger and cargo revenues); this increase was partially offset by a 0.1 point reduction in the average commission paid. This reduction was mainly related to a decrease in the commission rate paid to agents in the passenger business.

Administrative expenses increased 23.1% from US$269.6 million in 2009 to US$331.8 million in 2010 due to the higher wages of administrative personnel and higher asset (non aircraft) depreciation, as a result of additions in 2009 and 2010.

Other operating expenses increased 71.5% from US$100.5 million in 2009 to US$172.4 million in 2010, as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses and costs related to tours and travel services.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) increased by 1.4% to US$155.3 million in 2010 from US$153.1 million in 2009 due to higher debt related to fleet financing, but was partially offset by lower average interest rates.

Exchange rate differences increased from an expense of US$11.2 million in 2009 to a gain of US$13.8 million in 2010 as a result of a recognized US$5.4 million gain that mainly stemmed from foreign exchange variations during the period; part of the exchange gain was a result of remittances from LAN’s operations in Venezuela. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk of Variation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates”, for a discussion of LAN’s hedging program for currency fluctuations. During 2009 the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency impacted the Company’s operations in that country and the Company recognized a US$28.0 million charge related to it.

On December 31, 2010, the Company held US$36.0 million in assets located in Venezuela, of which over 74.0% constituted cash equivalents. On a consolidated basis, the Company’s assets related to its operations in Venezuela represented less than 0.5% of the total assets of the Company. For the year 2010, operating revenues of the Venezuelan regional office represented 1.7% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. The Company’s operations in Venezuela are carried out through an agency that, from an accounting perspective, is considered an extension of the Company. Therefore, the functional currency is the US dollar and hyperinflationary accounting is not required.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a US$14.1 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). (See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business of the Company—Cargo Operations—Cargo-Related Investigations”).

Income tax expenses increased by 82.2%, amounting to US$81.1 million in 2010 as compared to US$44.5 million in 2009. This increase was primarily the result of an 80.9% increase in pre-tax income, coupled with a 0.1% increase in the average tax rate (currently 16.2%) in 2010. For more information, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Taxes” below and Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

U.S. Dollar Presentation and Price-Level Adjustments

General

Foreign currency transactions

 

  (a) Presentation and functional currencies

The items included in the financial statements of each of Lan Airlines and its consolidated 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 is the U.S. dollar, which is also the currency of presentation of the audited consolidated financial statements of Lan Airlines and its 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 LAN entities (none of which utilizes 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 are translated at the closing exchange rate on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position;

 

  (ii) The revenues and expenses of each results account are translated at monthly average rates; and

 

  (iii) All the resultant exchange differences are shown as a separate component in net equity.

For consolidation purposes, exchange differences arising from the translation of a net investment in foreign entities (or in local entities with a functional currency different to that of the parent), and of loans and other foreign currency instruments designated as hedges for such 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.

Effects of Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar in terms of the pricing of our products, composition of our balance sheet and effects on our results of operations. Most of our revenues (78% in 2011) are in U.S. dollars or in prices pegged to the U.S. dollar and a substantial portion of our expenses (53% in 2011) is denominated in dollars or pegged to the U.S. dollar, particularly fuel costs, landing and over flight fees, aircraft rentals, insurance and aircraft components and supplies. Almost all of our liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars (93% as of December 31, 2011), including bank loans, air traffic liabilities, and certain amounts payable to our suppliers. As of December 31, 2011, 91% of our assets were denominated in U.S. dollars, principally aircraft, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other fixed assets. Substantially all of our commitments, including operating leases and purchase commitments for aircraft, are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Although we generally maintain our international passenger fares and cargo prices in U.S. dollars or at prices pegged to the U.S. dollar, we are exposed to foreign exchange losses and gains due to exchange rate fluctuations. We recorded a net foreign exchange profit of US$13.8 million in 2010 and a net foreign exchange loss of US$0.3 million in 2011, which are set forth in our consolidated statement of income under “Exchange rates differences.” For more information, see Notes 2.3(a) and 31 to our audited consolidated financial statements. The profit incurred in 2010 was mainly related to the appreciation of the Latin American currencies against the U.S. dollar.

IFRS/Non-IFRS Reconciliation

We use “Cost per ATK” and “Cost per ATK excluding fuel price variations” in analyzing operating costs on a per unit basis. “ATKs” (available ton kilometers) measure the number of tons of capacity available for the transportation of revenue load (passengers and/or cargo) multiplied by the kilometers flown. To obtain our unit costs, which are used by our management in the analysis of our results, we divide our “total costs” by our total ATKs. “Total costs” are calculated by starting with operating costs as defined under IFRS and making certain adjustments for interest costs and other revenues. The cost component is further adjusted to obtain “costs per ATKs excluding fuel price variations,” in order to remove the impact of changes in fuel prices for the year. “Cost per ATK” and “Cost per ATK excluding fuel price variations” do not have a standardized meaning, and as such may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. These metrics should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating costs or as indicators of performance or cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

The table below reconciles operating costs as defined by IFRS to costs used in the calculation of “Cost per ATK” and “Cost per ATK excluding fuel price variations.”

In addition, we use revenues per ASK or ATK, as applicable, in analyzing revenues on a per unit basis. To obtain our unit revenues, which are used by our management in the analysis of our results, we divide our passenger revenues by our total ASKs and our cargo revenues by our total ATKs. We use our revenues as defined under IFRS for purposes of the calculation of this metric. Revenues per ASK or ATK, as the case may be, do not have a standardized meaning, and as such may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. It is not an IFRS based measure of performance or liquidity. This metric should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues or as indicators of performance or cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Seasonality

Our operating revenues are substantially dependent on overall passenger and cargo traffic volume, which is subject to seasonal and other changes in traffic patterns. Our passenger revenues are generally higher in the first and fourth quarters of each year, during the southern hemisphere’s (Chile and Argentina) spring and summer, than in the second and third quarters. Since Peru, Ecuador and Colombia have different seasonal patterns, the expansion into those markets has led to stronger passenger revenues in the second and third quarters, therefore moderating the overall seasonality of our passenger business. Our cargo revenues generally are higher in the fourth quarter, which correspond to the harvest season in the southern hemisphere.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires our management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and judgments to develop amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. We strive to maintain a process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the estimates that are required to prepare our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the consistent application of these policies enables us and our subsidiaries to provide readers of the financial statements with more useful and reliable information about our operating results and financial condition.

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different outcomes under different assumptions and conditions. For a discussion on these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The following are the accounting policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

Accounting estimates judgments

The Company has used estimates to value and book some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments; these basically refer to:

 

   

The evaluation of possible impairment loss for certain assets.

 

   

The useful life and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets.

 

   

The criteria employed in the valuation of certain assets.

 

   

Air tickets sold that are not actually used.

 

   

The calculation of deferred income at the period-end corresponding to the valuation of kilometers credited to holders of the LANPASS loyalty card which have not yet been used.

 

   

The need for provisioning and where required the determination of their values.

 

   

The recoverability of deferred tax assets.

 

   

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.

Revenue Recognition

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

We recognize passenger and cargo revenues either when the transportation service is provided or when we determine that the tickets will not be used or refunded, which, in the case of passenger revenues, reduces the air traffic liability. We estimate revenue breakage based on historical breakage experience that takes into account the aging of tickets that will not be used or refunded. Commissions payable related to such unearned earnings are shown net of the air traffic liability. Other revenues, including aircraft leases, courier, logistic and ground services, duty free sales, and storage and customs brokering, are recognized when services are provided.

The amount of passenger ticket sales not yet recognized as revenue is reflected as an air traffic liability. Air traffic liability includes estimates of the amount of future refunds and exchanges, net of forfeitures for all unused tickets once the flight date has passed. We perform periodic evaluations of this estimated liability based on actual results. Any adjustments, which can be significant, are included in the results of operations for the periods in which the evaluations are completed. These adjustments relate primarily to the differences between our estimation of certain revenue transactions and the related sales price, as well as refunds, exchanges and other items for which final settlement occurs in periods subsequent to the sale of the related tickets at amounts other than the original sales price.

Actual events and circumstances may differ from historical fare sale activity and customer travel patterns and can result in refunds, exchanges or forfeited tickets differing significantly from estimates. We evaluate our estimates periodically. If actual refunds, exchanges or forfeitures fall outside of our estimated ranges, we review our estimates and assumptions and adjust air traffic liability and passenger revenues as necessary. As with any estimates, actual results may vary from estimated amounts.

 

  a.2 Frequent flyer program

The Company has a frequent flyer program called LANPASS, whose objective is customer loyalty through the delivery of kilometers every time that members of the program 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 flights 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”. Kilometers expire if they are not utilized over a period of three years. This period is renewable if the passenger takes a flight or meets specific requirements regarding the accumulation of kilometers through one of the partners of the program.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The land of Lan Airlines and Subsidiaries is recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss.

The rest of the property, plant and equipment are shown, initially and subsequently, at their 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 amount of advance payments to aircraft manufacturers are capitalized by the Company under “Construction in progress” until receipt of aircraft.

 

132


Table of Contents

Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements and extensions) 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 such element can be determined reliably. The value of the component replaced is written-off in the books. 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 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. For more information, see Note 2.8 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

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.

Maintenance

The costs incurred for scheduled major maintenance of 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. Unscheduled maintenances of aircraft and engines are charged to income as incurred.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

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 a 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 hedging instrument is over 12 months, and as an other current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the hedging instrument is less than 12 months. Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as other financial assets or liabilities, current in the case that their remaining maturity is less than 12 months and non-current in the case that it is more than 12 months.

 

133


Table of Contents

(a) Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives 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 designated derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in net equity. 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, this means that the amounts recognized in equity are reclassified to results within financial cost at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.

For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in equity are reclassified to results 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 net equity until that moment remains in equity 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 net equity is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income as “Other gains (losses).”

(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).”

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are calculated, according to the balance-sheet method, 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 is 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 timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled US$374.4 million as of December 31, 2011, US$631.1 million as of December 31, 2010 and US$731.5 million as of December 31, 2009. The decrease in our cash and cash equivalents from 2010 to 2011 was due to higher investment activities related to a higher number of aircraft incorporations in our fleet. Cash from operations derives primarily from providing air passenger and cargo transportation to customers. Operating cash outflows are primarily related to the recurring expenses of airline operations. Net cash inflows from operating activities were US$762.6 million in 2011, US$1,125.3 million in 2010 and US$845.8 million in 2009. The main reasons for the 32.2% decrease in 2011 from 2010 in net cash flows from operating activities were the 37.2% increase in fuel prices during the period, as well as an increase in wages and benefits as a result of the consolidation as of January 2011 of Colombian airline Aires, the ongoing effects of the volcanic ash cloud on domestic operations in Chile and Argentina and the appreciation of local currencies in Latin America. Fuel prices and exchange rate fluctuations may continue to impact LAN’s operating cash flow generation in the future. Nevertheless, LAN continued to show solid traffic growth and yield increases in both passenger and cargo operations. The main reasons for the 33.0% increase in 2010 from 2009 in net cash flows from operating activities were the increase in passenger and cargo revenues as a result of traffic growth and yield increases, which outpaced the growth in operating costs and expenses.

In recent years, we have been able to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through cash from our operations. Given the nature of our business, the Company generally benefits from having a positive working capital, i.e. actual cash flow movement (cash inflows).

Our working capital position at year-end 2011, and in previous year-ends, was negative. However, the Company has consistently generated cash inflows as a result of changes in working capital since current liabilities increased more than current assets during those periods. This occurs mainly as a result of advance ticket sales (i.e., services that are paid in advance before they are delivered and suppliers are paid), which are recognized as deferred revenues and constitute a distinctive characteristic of accounting of passenger revenue in the airline industry.

During 2011, the Company generated cash for US$114.0 million, as compared with US$326.7 million in 2010 and US$3.4 million in 2009, benefiting from an increase in its negative working capital position. We expect to continue generating positive working capital movements through our operations. However, we cannot predict whether current trends and conditions will continue, or how the effects of competition or other factors that are beyond our control could affect us.

As of December 31, 2011, the cash pledged to financial institutions relating to margin calls on derivative positions was US$117.2 million.

Net cash flows used in investing activities was US$1,238.3 million in 2011, US$1,100.4 million in 2010 and US$589.7 million in 2009. Cash capital expenditures were US$1,367.0 million in 2011, US$1,029.2 million in 2010 and US$538.6 million in 2009. The increase in capital expenditures in 2011 was due to the acquisition of higher number of aircraft and the required investments related to them.

Our capital expenditures for 2011 were mainly composed of:

 

   

cash contributions for pre-delivery deposits related to aircraft with deliveries in 2011, 2012 and 2013;

 

   

the acquisition of 13 Airbus A320 Passenger aircraft and three Boeing B767-300 Passenger aircraft; and

 

   

the acquisition of aircraft spare parts and spare engines.

Our capital expenditures for 2010 were mainly composed of:

 

   

cash contributions for pre-delivery deposits related to aircraft with deliveries in 2010, 2011 and 2012;

 

   

the acquisition of eight Airbus A320 Passenger aircraft and one Boeing B767-300 Passenger aircraft; and

 

   

the acquisition of aircraft spare parts and spare engines.

Our capital expenditures for 2009 were mainly composed of:

 

   

cash contributions for pre-delivery deposits related to aircraft with deliveries in 2009, 2010 and 2011;

 

   

the acquisition of three Airbus A319 Passenger aircraft and three Boeing B767-300 Passenger aircraft; and

 

   

the acquisition of aircraft spare parts and spare engines.

For more information about current and future capital expenditures, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures”. The difference between net cash used in investing activities and cash capital expenditures during 2011, relates mainly to the investment in financial instruments, the sale of five A318 passenger aircraft and the sale of Blue Express which was a subsidiary dedicated to ground courier services.

Table of Contents

Net cash inflows from financing activities were US$219.1 million in 2011, compared to net cash outflows of US$124.7 million in 2010 and US$99.2 million of cash inflows in 2009. Such variance was due to new issuance of shares, inflows from short term loans and the reduction in interest payments due to changes in loans structures and floating rate debt. In 2011, our main uses of cash were US$883.4 million for loan payments, US$192.1 million for dividends payments and US$119.1 million for interest payments. In 2010, our main uses of cash were US$554.5 million for loan payments, US$155.4 million for dividends payments and US$128.7 million for interest payments. In 2009, our main uses of cash were US$261.7 million for loan payments, US$139.9 million for dividend payments and US$129.3 million for interest payments.

Our cash and cash equivalents including investment funds and domestic and foreign bonds are mainly held in U.S. dollars or U.S. dollar-based instruments. A fraction (around 22%) of our cash position is held in currencies other than U.S. dollars to fulfill short-term obligations denominated in local currencies.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures are related to the acquisition of aircraft, aircraft-related equipment, IT equipment, support infrastructure and the funding of pre-delivery deposits. Our capital expenditures totaled US$1,367.0 million in 2011, US$1,029.2 million in 2010 and US$538.6 million in 2009. The increase in capital expenditure is explained by a higher number of aircraft acquired during 2011.

The following chart sets forth our estimate, as of January 31, 2012, of our future capital expenditures for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016:

The expenditures set out in the table above reflect payments for purchases and other fleet-related items, as well as for information technology and other items. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Fleet”. Principally, we have projected our capital expenditures based on:

 

   

the delivery of 12 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in 2012, 14 in 2013, 17 in 2014, 15 in 2015, 12 in 2016, 10 in 2017 and 10 in 2018;

 

   

the delivery of nine Boeing B767-300 Passenger aircraft in 2012 and four in 2013;

 

   

the delivery of two Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft in 2012;

 

   

the delivery of two Boeing 787-8 passenger aircraft in 2012, three in 2013 and seventeen between 2014 and 2018;

 

   

the delivery of four Boeing 787-9 passenger aircraft in 2015;

 

   

the implementation of a new host system as a part of a three year capital expenditure plan, totaling approximately US$70 million; and

Costs related to the startup of new operations in the region under LAN’s standards.

We expect that cash generated from operations, short-term credit-lines and long-term syndicated loans with various banks will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements in the foreseeable future, although events that materially affect our operating results could also have a negative impact on our liquidity.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

We believe that the LAN brand has strong value and it is synonymous of superior service in the Latin American and International airline industry. In March 2004, we launched our new “LAN” brand to bring together, under one strong international name, all our local brands such as “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” and “LAN Ecuador.” We developed our new brand and corporate image after an extensive process supported by a leading global branding agency.

We have registered the trademarks “LAN”, “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” and “LAN Ecuador” with the trademark office in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador, respectively. We license certain brands, logos and trade dress under the alliance agreement with oneworld® related to our alliance. We will have the right to continue to use oneworld® current logos on our aircraft while LAN is a member of such alliance.

D. Trend Information

During 2012, we expect to continue seeing positive trends in both passenger and cargo operations, where we see significant growth opportunities in domestic and international markets in Latin America. Regarding fuel prices, they have remained relatively stable. Nevertheless, geopolitical instability, which affects the supply of fuel, is a potential risk since fuel supply is key to our business, as it represents approximately 30% of our operating costs. We can address increases in fuel prices through our fuel-hedging policy and the use of pass-through mechanisms for both the passenger and cargo operations. However, these strategies are never completely effective and margins are negatively impacted by a higher fuel price scenario. Specifically, we expect to face:

 

   

revenue growth in the passenger operations, caused by capacity expansion inline with traffic growth. During January and February 2012, passenger traffic increased 13.6% compared with the same period in 2011, driven mainly by solid growth on domestic operations, which increased 19.1% as compared to 2011, as well as 10.9% growth in international operations. During such period, total passenger capacity increased 12.8%, leading to a 0.6 points increase in load factors from 82.5% to 83.1%. Capacity increases focused mainly on domestic routes within Chile, regional routes within Latin America, and long-haul routes to the United States. This expansion was partially offset by decreased capacity on long haul routes to Europe as a result of itinerary changes implemented in early 2011; and

 

   

growth in the cargo operations is expected to be driven by continued increase in imports to Latin America, mainly to Brazil, and continued recovery of export volumes, partly driven by further recovery of salmon exports. During January and February 2012, cargo demand, as measured in RTKs, increased 0.7%, while capacity increased by 3.1%. In turn, the cargo load factor decreased 1.5 points to 65.3%.

In 2012, we expect to continue expanding and diversifying our revenue base through the expansion of our network, namely, by further developing our existing routes, adding new destinations, developing new alliances, and entering new markets. During 2012, we expect to receive 12 Airbus A320 family aircraft to operate domestic and regional routes, as well as nine Boeing 767-300 and the first two Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners for long-haul routes. We also expect the sale of five Airbus A318 aircraft and the return of two leased Boeing 767-300, while also returning three Boeing 737-700s operated by LAN Colombia.

In the cargo business, we will continue adding capacity in response to demand in our core markets. We expect the growth of import flows to Latin America to continue, but weaker cargo markets globally might further drive additional competition to South America, especially Brazil. We will continue to monitor the cargo market trends on a weekly basis in order to react as soon as possible if necessary. Also, we plan to continue optimizing the utilization of the bellies of our passenger aircraft to maximize synergies associated with the Company’s integrated passenger/cargo business model. Cargo capacity growth in 2012 will be driven by the delivery of 2 Boeing 777 freighters in the second half of the year.

We continue to maintain significant flexibility to adjust the physical size of our fleet. Between 2012 and 2014, we will have 13 operating lease expirations (including Japanese operating leases) in our wide-body passenger fleet, which can be terminated without cost. Starting in 2010, part of our Boeing 767 fleet has been fully paid, providing us with additional financial flexibility.

We also intend to make our cost structure more efficient and to offset potential decreases in demand with more efficient asset utilization, and we aim to enhance efficiency by streamlining our support processes, reducing commercial costs, continuing to develop our low-cost type business model for short-haul operations, and further developing the LEAN system in our processes.

We expect more stable fuel prices for 2012, but will continue using fuel hedging programs and fuel surcharge mechanisms in both the passenger and cargo businesses to help minimize the impact of short-term movements in crude oil prices. For instance, as of March 15, 2012 we have hedged approximately 58% of our estimated fuel requirements for the second quarter 2012, 27% for the third quarter and 8% for the fourth quarter. These hedging instruments are comprised of a combination of collars and swaps. Swaps are at an average price of US$92.2 dollars per barrel while collars are in average between US$71.6 and US$95.7 dollars per barrel.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2011 the Company had aircraft and aircraft engines under operating leases. These operating leases provide us with great flexibility to adjust to any demand volatility that may affect the airline industry and therefore we consider 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. The Company has not made any residual value or similar guarantees to our lessors. There are certain guarantees and indemnities to other unrelated parties that are not reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, but we believe that these will not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

The Company operates 17 aircraft under a financing structure called Japanese Operating Lease (“JOL”). This method 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.

As of February 29, 2012 we are not aware of any event, lawsuit, commitment, trend or uncertainty that may result in, or is reasonably likely to result in, the termination of the operating leases. See Note 33 to our audited consolidated financial statements for a more detailed discussion of these commitments.

F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations and commitments primarily related to the payment of debt, lease arrangements and for the future incorporation of aircraft to our fleet. As of December 31, 2011 we have financed the acquisition of 21 Boeing 767-300 Passenger aircraft and eight Boeing 767-300 Freighters through bond issuances and syndicated loans provided by international financial institutions with the support of partial guarantees issued by the Ex-Im Bank with repayment profiles of either 12 or 15 years. The Ex-Im Bank guarantees support 85% 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 Ex-Im Bank. The documentation for each loan follows standard market forms for this type of financing, including standard events of default. We have financed the remaining 15% of the net purchase price with commercial loans or with our own funds. Our Ex-Im Bank supported financings are denominated in U.S. dollars and have quarterly amortizations with a combination of fixed and floating rates linked to U.S. dollar LIBOR. Through the use of interest rate swaps, we

have effectively converted a significant portion of our floating rate debt under these loans into fixed rate debt. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk of Fluctuations in Interest Rates”, for more information. Between 2004 and 2009, LAN sold its ownership in the entities borrowing some of these loans and they were therefore reclassified as financial leases. As of December 31, 2011, the total amount outstanding under our Ex-Im Bank-supported financings totaled US$1,259.2 million.

In April 2010, LAN entered into an agreement to finance the purchase of 15 aircraft partially guaranteed by the European Export Credit Agencies and partially through its own funds (85% and 15%, respectively) where six of them were delivered in 2010 and the remaining nine in 2011. These loans have a 12 years maturity profile and quarterly payments. During the second half of 2010 LAN financed eight additional A320 family aircraft supported by the European Export Credit Agencies and partially through its own funds (85% and 15% respectively).

During the year 2011 LAN continued financing its A320 family aircraft fleet supported by the European Export Credit Agencies totaling 13 additional aircraft. These aircraft were financed 80% by loans guaranteed by the European Export Credit Agencies and the remaining portion (20%) by LAN’s own funds.

In the first quarter 2011, LAN entered into a sale and lease back agreement to finance eight of its A320 family aircraft. Four of them were delivered in the third quarter of 2011 and the remaining four are expected to be delivered between April and July 2012.

Our total debt (including capital leases) as of December 31, 2011, was US$3,788.3 million compared to US$3,259.7 million in 2010 and US$3,074.4 million in 2009. The increase in long-term debt during 2011 relates to the incorporation of debt-financed fixed assets. We have minimum lease payment obligations primarily associated with our aircraft leases. As of December 31, 2011, we had 49 aircraft under operating leases (23 which correspond to recent acquired Aires total fleet), and we had minimum lease payment obligations of US$705 million compared to US$700 million as of December 31, 2010 and US$444 million as of December 31, 2009. The average interest rate of our long-term debt was 4.5% as of December 31, 2011. Of the total debt amount, 82.3% accrues interest at a fixed rate (either through a stated fixed interest rate or through our use of interest rate swap agreements) or is subject to interest rate caps. As of February 29, 2012, we also had purchase obligations for:

 

   

Seven Airbus A319, 52 Airbus A320, 10 Airbus A321, 20 Airbus A320 NEO;

 

   

13 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$8,645.6 million, with delivery between 2012 and 2018.

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. As of December 2011, LAN had US$537.3 million in bank loans under current liabilities. Of this amount, US$153.8 million was short term debt, which represents only 6.6% of total current liabilities. The remaining US$383.6 million is composed mainly of long term debt related to aircraft financing, which is payable within the next 12 months.

We do not have contracts with any of our directors to provide benefits upon termination of employment.

As set forth in further detail in the following table, in 2011 the members of our board of directors currently in office received fees and salaries in the aggregate amount of US$184,639.69.

Board of Directors’ Committee and Audit Committee

Pursuant to Chilean Corporation Law, as amended by Law No. 19,705, Lan Airlines must have a board of directors’ committee composed of no less than three board members. Lan Airlines has established a three-person committee of its board of directors, which, among other duties, is responsible for:

 

   

examining the reports of Lan Airlines’ external auditors, the balance sheets and other financial statements submitted by Lan Airlines’ administrators to the shareholders, and issuing an opinion with respect thereto prior to their presentation to the shareholders for their approval;

 

   

proposing external auditors and rating agencies to the board of directors;

 

   

evaluating and proposing external auditors and rating agencies;

 

   

reviewing internal control reports pertaining to related party transactions;

 

   

examining and reporting on all related-party transactions; and

 

   

reviewing the pay scale of Lan Airlines’ senior management.

Under Chilean law we are required, to the extent possible, to appoint a majority of independent directors to the Board of Directors Committee. The corresponding independence requirements are set forth in Chilean Corporation Law, as amended by Law No. 19,705, and relate to the relationship between the directors and the shareholders that control a corporation. A director is considered independent when he or she can be elected regardless of the voting of the controlling shareholders. See “Item 16A. Corporate Governance.”

Pursuant to U.S. regulations, we are required to have an audit committee of at least three board members, which complies with the independence requirements set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Given the similarity in the functions that must be performed by our Board of Directors’ Committee and the audit committee, our Board of Directors’ Committee serves as our Audit Committee for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

As of February 29, 2012, all of the members of our Board of Directors’ Committee, which also serves as our Audit Committee, were independent under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. As of February 29, 2012, the committee members were Mr. Jorge Awad Mehech, Mr. Gerardo Jofré Miranda and Mr. Ramón Eblen Kadis. We pay each member of the committee 32 UFs per meeting.

Table of Contents

We have a performance-related pay structure for our administrative, management and flight personnel (such as cabin crew members, airport and sales agents, call-center employees, and some back office employees) including performance-based bonuses and pay scales that reward foreign language proficiency among counter, technical and administrative personnel. During 2011, over 92% of our employees were eligible to receive performance related bonus payments that are linked to personal, team and corporate performance.

We provide our employees with medical insurance complementary to the coverage of the private health system, and also grant other benefits, such as free and discounted airline tickets, to our permanent employees.

A stock option compensation plan is offered to key senior executives. For a detailed description of the stock option compensation plan, please see Note 36 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

As required by Chilean law, we make obligatory contributions to the privatized pension fund system on behalf of our employees, but we do not maintain any separate program to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits to these or any other employees. However, the pilots’ collective bargaining agreement includes a clause that permits resignation with severance payment, in case a pilot reaches a certain age and is still providing services to the company.

Long Term Incentive Compensation Program

On April 5, 2007, the extraordinary shareholders meeting approved a capital increase of 22,090,910 shares to a total of 341,000,000 shares. The same meeting designated 10% of the approved capital increase (2,209,091 shares) for purposes of a proposed employee stock option compensation plan. Those 2,209,091 shares represent a 0.65% of the total share capital after such capital increase. The shareholders’ meeting authorized our board of directors to elaborate the compensation plan. For more detailed information, please see Note 36 to our audited consolidated financial statements. This incentive compensation program is aimed at promoting our interests by encouraging management employees to contribute substantially to our success, by motivating them with stock options.

The general features of this stock option plan are:

 

  (a) The selection of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that were included by the Board of Directors in the compensation plan was made after a recommendation by our Executive Committee. A stock option agreement was signed with each selected employee for the number of options in connection to the acquisition of our shares to be allocated to such employee.

 

  (b) Until the shares in the option are subscribed, the optionee has no economic or political rights and is not considered in the quorums of shareholders meetings.

 

  (c) The options allocated to each employee are vested in parts, on the following two dates: (1) 30% on October 29, 2009; and (2) 70% on October 30, 2011, subject to remaining employed by the Company.

 

  (d) The period during which the employee must exercise the options will expire March 31, 2012. If the employee has not exercised or waived the options in that period, the employee will be understood, for all purposes, to have waived the options and, accordingly, all rights, powers, promises or offers in relation to the subscription of cash shares in the Company will be deemed extinguished and it will be understood that the employee has irrevocably waived all rights or powers in relation thereto, releasing us from any obligation.

 

  (e) The price payable for these shares if the respective options are exercised is the equivalent to US$14.50, adjusted by the variation in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) published monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor, from the date it was set by our Board of Directors to the date of subscription and payment of the shares. Such price shall be paid in Chilean pesos, at once, in the act of subscription, in cash, by bank check, electronic fund transfer or any other instrument or paper representing money payable on demand, converted at the observed dollar exchange rate published in the Official Gazette on the same date as subscription and payment of the shares. In any case, the per-share price payable by the employee if the option is exercised may be no less than US$14.50.

 

147


Table of Contents

The selection of the employees that participated in the stock option plan was based on, among other criteria that the Board determined at the time of employment with the Company, the position they hold, their importance in earning profits, the responsibility of the position they hold, the amount of equity managed, the ability to work as a team and performance, and the potential for development and importance within the Company given their education and experience.

The original terms of the plan were most recently amended on October 25, 2011 when a new expiration date was established.

Training

Some of our employees, such as the flight operations, maintenance and customer ground operations personnel undergo training when they join the Company and throughout their employment with us. For this training, we invested US$12.5 million in 2009, US$13.5 million in 2010 and US$ 20.6 million in 2011. We generally recruit our pilots from the Academia de Ciencias Aeronáuticas (at the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María), aeroclubs and the armed forces. Before being promoted to the position of captain, first officers must have logged at least 4,000 flight hours and received the approval of a special pilots’ committee. We provide ground-school training in Santiago, as well as in Lima and Quito for our Peruvian and Ecuadorian crews. We maintain an agreement with CAE (a Canadian firm specializing in flight simulators and training centers) to develop a pilot training center in Santiago de Chile. This training center includes two Airbus A320 and one Boeing 767 Full Flight simulators plus 1 MFTD A320/340 simulator. Our pilot staff also receives simulator training at sites in the United States and Brazil.

Our pilots are rated for only one aircraft type by local aeronautical authorities, and they are not cross-qualified between two or more aircraft types. Chilean regulations require pilots to be licensed as commercial pilots for a first officer position and as an airline transport pilot for a captain position, with specific type, function and special ratings for each aircraft to be flown, and to be medically certified as physically fit. Licenses and medical certifications are subject to periodic reevaluation, including flight simulator recurrent training, ground recurrent training, annual emergency procedures training, safety and security training and recent flying experience. Our pilots receive a variety of training, such as lectures, simulations and gaming and computer based training. Cabin crew must have initial and periodic competency fitness training.

Aircraft mechanics and maintenance supervisory personnel must be licensed by the DGAC and other corresponding authorities in other countries in which we operate. We train our technicians (Mechanics, Specialists, Inspectors and Maintenance Supervisors) in all programs required by both local authority (DGAC) and international authorities and aviation associations, such as the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”), IATA rules and regulations, those required by aircraft manufacturers and the training needs that we identify during our annual reviews. The program of study contains initial and continuing training. Initial training is level III ATA SPEC 104 and lasts forty to fifty days depending on the aircraft types and continuing training lasts up to five to six days.

During 2011, we continued training sales and administrative personnel in areas such as service and sales quality. We also continued delivering learning programs to develop leadership skills and others with different methodologies including e-learning.

Labor Relations

We have negotiated longer-term labor contracts with the labor unions in anticipation of their scheduled expirations, which under Chilean law are limited to a period of four years. In general, the expiration of our labor agreements with the several unions that represent our pilots and other personnel are staggered in a way that we avoid being in the position of having to renegotiate contract terms with substantially all of our pilots or other personnel at the same time.

 

148


Table of Contents

Two collective contracts are in place between Lan Airlines and its pilots, both through the pilots’ union. Non-unionized pilots (less than 5% of the pilot corps), have the same benefits, through direct extension of the union’s collective agreement. These contracts were negotiated in February 2009 and expire between August 2012 and January 2013. Lan Cargo is also a party to an employment agreement with its pilots that expires in November 2012. Finally, Lan Express has two collective agreements with its pilots, both unionized and non-unionized. Those contracts expire between September and December 2012.

Lan Airlines and its affiliates have also entered into collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) with many of their employees:

Lan Airlines renewed the CBAs with its maintenance personnel in June 2008 for a period of four years. On March 30, 2011, the collective bargaining agreement with maintenance personnel working for Lan Express, one of LAN’s Chilean subsidiaries, was renewed until March 31, 2015.

LAN’s CBA with the union representing our administrative personnel has been renewed in Februrary 2012, and expires in December 2015, and the CBA with Lan Express administrative personnel expires in April 2013.

The majority of Lan Argentina’s employees belong to industry-wide unions. Currently, labor relations are stable. In 2005, Lan Argentina hired employees from another airline and agreed to maintain their employment conditions and labor stability during a three-year period. The conditions and labor relations that Lan Argentina had to maintain expired on September 2008, a situation that did not generate any conflict for the company. In December 2009, salary agreements were finalized with the five unions in Lan Argentina. These agreements expired on September 2010 and were renewed in September 2011 for one year. In Lan Peru and Lan Ecuador, meanwhile, the employment relationship is smooth and stable. With respect to Lan Ecuador, there is a collective agreement in force since October 2010 with Pilots (non-union), whose duration is 3 years and 6 months. The only union that exists in this country is the Cabin Crew. It still has no legal authority to negotiate collective agreements with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company maintains a relationship with the union continuing to address issues of common interest and welfare. Lan Peru negotiated in 2010 a collective agreement with the union of technical and mechanical, with a duration of 4 years. The next collective bargaining with the union will occur in June 2012.

We believe we generally maintain good relations with our employees and the unions, and expect to continue to enjoy good relations with our employees and the unions in the future. We also believe that we have built a solid base among our employees that will support and facilitate our growth plans. We can provide no assurance, however, that our employee compensation arrangements may not be subject to change or modification after the expiration of the contracts currently in effect, or that we will not be subject to labor-related disruptions due to strikes, stoppages or walk-outs.

E. Share Ownership

As of February 29, 2012, the members of our Board of Directors and our executive officers as a group own 51.43% of our shares. See “Item 7. Controlling Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

On July 6, 2007, the SVS fined Juan José Cueto Plaza 1,620 UF (approximately US$74,000) in connection with the purchase of Shares that he carried out through Inversiones Mineras del Cantábrico on July 24, 2006. The SVS considered that such purchase had breached an obligation not to acquire Shares until the financial statements of the company became 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 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. On July 26, 2007 Juan José Cueto filed an appeal of this fine before the 27° Civil Court of Santiago, which was dismissed on January 8, 2009. The defense of Mr. Cueto filed two legal recourses against the first dismissal, which were rejected by the Court of Appeals of Santiago on March 8, 2010. Against this second dismissal Juan José Cueto filed two additional and separate legal recourses, which as of this date are pending before the Supreme Court of Chile. A final decision is pending.

See “Item 3. Key Information—Selected Financial Data”, “Item 18. Financial Statements” and pages F-1 through F-129].

Legal and Arbitration Proceedings

We are involved in routine litigation and other proceedings relating to the ordinary course of our business.

In February 2006 the EC, in conjunction with the DOJ, initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them Lan Cargo, LAN’s cargo subsidiary) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the European and United States air cargo markets. On December 26, 2007, the European competition authorities notified Lan Cargo and LAN of the initiation of proceedings against twenty-five cargo airlines, among them Lan Cargo, for allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the airfreight business.

On January 21, 2009, Lan Cargo announced that it had reached a plea agreement with the DOJ in relation to the DOJ’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the plea agreement, Lan Cargo agreed to pay a fine of US$88 million. In addition, ABSA also reached a plea agreement with the DOJ and agreed to pay a fine of US$21 million. These amounts were stipulated to be paid over a five-year payment schedule starting in 2009. As of December 31, 2011, the pending amount to be paid during the next three years is approximately US$54 million and has been recorded within “Other Accounts Payable.”

On November 9, 2010 the EC imposed fines to 11 air carriers for a total amount of €800 million (equivalent to approximately US$1.1 billion). The fine imposed against Lan Cargo and its parent company, LAN Airlines, totaled €8.2 million (equivalent to approximately US$11.0 million). The Company provisioned US$25 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 for such fines, and maintained this provision until the fine was imposed in 2010. This was the lowest fine applied by the European Commission, which includes a significant reduction due to the Company’s cooperation with the Commission during the course of the investigation. In accordance with European Union law, on January 24, 2011 this administrative decision was appealed by Lan Cargo and Lan Airlines to the General Court in Luxembourg. The appeal is still ongoing. Any judgment by the General Court may also be appealed to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a US$14.1 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).

The investigation by the DOJ prompted the filing of numerous civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including Lan Cargo and Lan Airlines, including fifty-four in the United States. The cases filed in the United States were consolidated in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York and the original complaint was subsequently amended to include additional airlines, including ABSA. On May 11, 2011, Lan Cargo announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the class action plaintiffs in

relation to this litigation. As per the settlement agreement, Lan Cargo agreed to pay US$59.7 million. In addition, ABSA also reached a settlement agreement with class action plaintiffs and agreed to pay US$6.3 million. The amounts were paid to the plaintiffs’ counsel escrow account in 2011.

In February 2006, the CCB, in conjunction with the DOJ, initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them Lan Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the Canadian air cargo markets. Given the current stage of the proceeding, it is not possible at this time to anticipate with any precision the outcome of the investigation. The CCB’s investigation prompted the filing of four separate civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including Lan Cargo and Lan Airlines in Canada. On January 31, 2012, the respective Board of Directors of Lan Airlines and Lan Cargo approved a settlement agreement with the class actions plaintiffs. As per the settlement agreement, Lan Airlines and Lan Cargo agreed to pay the amount of CAD$700,000 (approximately US$701,192 as of March 28, 2012). The settlement agreement and payment are pending court approval.

On April 5, 2008, Brazilian authorities notified ABSA of the initiation of administrative proceedings before the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (the Brazilian Antitrust Authority) against several cargo airlines and airline officers, among them ABSA, for allegations of anticompetitive practices regarding fuel surcharges in the air cargo business. Given the current stage of the proceedings, it is not possible at this time to anticipate with any precision the outcome of the civil actions filed against Lan Cargo, although it is expected to be a lengthy process.

In June 2008, the Korean Fair Trade Commission notified LAN of an investigation into the air cargo industry and its non-compliance with the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act and has requested information and documentation from LAN, which LAN duly submitted. On May 26, 2010 the Korean Fair Trade Commission announced the imposition of penalties against 29 other airlines and excluded LAN from further investigation.

The New Zealand Commerce Commission also initiated an investigation into potential anti-competitive activities in the international air cargo markets and requested information and documentation from LAN, which LAN duly submitted. On December 15, 2008, the New Zealand Commerce Commission announced it would focus its investigation on ten airlines and excluded LAN from further investigation.

In January 2007, we announced that we had provided, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Atlantic Aviation Investments LLC (“AAI”), a total of US$17.1 million in financing to Brazilian company VRG LINHAS AEREAS S.A. (“New Varig”), convertible into shares of New Varig. On March 28, 2007, GOL announced that it was acquiring 100% of the equity participation in New Varig. Pursuant to the terms of the relevant loan agreements, upon the sale of New Varig to GOL, we sought repayment of the principal of the loans plus interest from Varig Logística S.A. (“VarigLog”), the parent company of New Varig. VarigLog failed to respond to our demands for repayment and we subsequently filed a lawsuit in New York State court on August 29, 2007, seeking repayment of the outstanding principal plus interest. On October 10, 2008, the Court granted summary judgment in our favor for the full principal amount of the loans, US$17.1 million and entered a final judgment on December 1, 2008. The Court also held that AAI was entitled to collect the interest due under the loan agreement along with reasonable attorneys’ fees. After a hearing, a special referee appointed by the Court to decide the issue recommended that AAI recover US$1.9 million in accrued interest and attorneys’ fees, and the Court approved that recommendation. VarigLog appealed that decision, and the decision was upheld. On March 3, 2009, VarigLog filed an insolvency proceeding (recuperação judicial) before the bankruptcy court in Brazil, and on March 31, 2009, VarigLog filed a Chapter 15 petition in bankruptcy court in Florida seeking recognition of its Brazilian filing. The Florida court has entered an order, based upon AAI’s stipulation with VarigLog pursuant to which there would be no stay against the continuation and commencement of legal actions by AAI against VarigLog and any of its affiliates but AAI would not be able to take any action against two discrete VarigLog assets located in the United States. AAI continues its enforcement efforts to recover the amounts owed to it by VarigLog under the loan agreements.

In July 2009, as a result of VarigLog’s continued failure to repay the amount owed to AAI, we instituted a second lawsuit in New York State court against MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC, MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners II LP, MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities (Cayman) II LP and Volo Logistics LLC (collectively, the “MP Entities”), seeking to hold them liable as the alter egos of VarigLog and asserting separate contract-based claims related to AAI’s loans to VarigLog. If AAI succeeds in its alter ego claim, the MP Entities would be liable for VarigLog’s debts, and obligated to repay what VarigLog has been adjudged to owe AAI by the

prior decisions of the New York courts. The Court denied in large part the MP Entities motion to dismiss AAI’s complaint on April 23, 2010. Thereafter, the MP Entities answered AAI’s complaint and filed counter-claims against AAI and its direct and indirect parents, LAN Pax Group S.A. (“LAX Pax”) and LAN Airlines S.A. (“LAN Airlines”), seeking declaratory relief and damages for breach of contract and tortious interference with contract. AAI and LAN Airlines moved to dismiss all of the counterclaims. AAI also moved for summary judgment on one of its breach of contract claims in September 2010. In May 2011, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of AAI as to the MP Entities’ liability for breach of contract. In the same decision, the Court dismissed the majority of the MP Entities’ counterclaims. The MP Entities have separately appealed both the Court’s decision granting AAI summary judgment and the decision to dismiss the majority of the MP Entities’ counterclaims. In February 2012, the Appellate Court unanimously affirmed the lower Court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of AAI on the issue of liability. The MP Entities are seeking permission from the Court to further appeal that decision. If the Appellate Court's affirmance of the lower Court's grant of summary judgment is undisturbed, AAI will resume proceedings before the lower Court to fix the amount of damages the MP Entities owe AAI.

Dividend Policy

In accordance with the Chilean Corporation Law, Lan Airlines must distribute cash dividends equal to at least 30% of its annual consolidated net income calculated in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise decided by a unanimous vote of the holders of all issued shares and unless and except to the extent it has accumulated losses. If there is no net income in a given year, Lan Airlines can elect but is not legally obligated to distribute dividends out of retained earnings. The board of directors may declare interim dividends out of profits earned during such interim period. Pursuant to Lan Airlines’ by-laws, the annual cash dividend is approved by the shareholders at the annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting held between February 1 and April 30 of the year following the year with respect to which the dividend is proposed. All outstanding common shares are entitled to share equally in all dividends declared by Lan Airlines, unless the shares have not been fully paid by the shareholder after being subscribed.

Holders of ADSs will be entitled to receive dividends on the underlying common shares to the same extent as holders of common shares. Holders of ADRs on the applicable record dates will be entitled to receive dividends paid on the common shares represented by the ADSs evidenced by such ADRs. Dividends payable to holders of ADSs will be paid by us to the depositary in Chilean pesos and remitted by the depositary to such holders net of foreign currency conversion fees and expenses of the depositary and will be subject to Chilean withholding tax currently imposed at a rate of 35% (subject to credits in certain cases as described under “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—Cash Dividends and Other Distributions”). Owners of the ADSs will not be charged any dividend remittance fee by the depositary with respect to cash dividends.

Chilean law requires that holders of shares of Chilean companies that are not residents of Chile register as foreign investors under one of the foreign investment regimes established by Chilean law in order to have dividends, sale proceeds or other amounts with respect to their shares remitted outside Chile through the Formal Exchange Market (Mercado Cambiario Formal). Under our Foreign Investment Contract, the depositary, on behalf of ADS holders, will be granted access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert cash dividends from pesos to U.S. dollars and to pay such U.S. dollars to ADS holders outside Chile.

C. Markets

Trading

The Chilean stock market, which is regulated by the SVS under Law 18,045 of October 22, 1981, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Market Law, is one of the most developed among emerging markets, reflecting the particular economic history and development of Chile. The Chilean government’s policy of privatizing state-owned companies, implemented during the 1980s, led to an expansion of private ownership of shares, resulting in an increase in the importance of stock markets. Privatization extended to the social security system, which was

 

155


Table of Contents

converted into a privately managed pension fund system. These pension funds have been allowed, subject to certain limitations, to invest in stocks and are currently major investors in the stock market. Some market participants, including pension fund administrators, are highly regulated with respect to investment and remuneration criteria, but the general market is less regulated than the U.S. market with respect to disclosure requirements and information usage.

The SSE is Chile’s principal exchange and accounts for approximately 86.87% of securities traded in Chile. Approximately 12.91% of equity trading is conducted on the Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange, an electronic trading market created by banks and non-member brokerage houses. The remaining equity trading is conducted on the Valparaíso Stock Exchange.

Equities, closed-end funds, fixed-income securities, short-term and money market securities, gold and U.S. dollars are traded on the SSE. In 1991, the SSE initiated a futures market with two instruments: U.S. dollar futures and Selective Shares Price Index, or IPSA, futures. Securities are traded primarily through an open voice auction system; a firm offers system or daily auctions. Trading through the open voice system occurs on each business day between 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The SSE has an electronic system of trade, called Telepregón HT, which operates continuously for stocks trading in high volumes from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (or 5:00 p.m., depending on the period of the year). The Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange operates continuously from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (or 5:30 p.m., depending on the period of the year) on each business day. In February 2000, the SSE Off-Shore Market began operations. In the Off-Shore Market, publicly offered foreign securities are traded and quoted in U.S. dollars.

Organization and Register

Lan Airlines is a publicly held stock corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) incorporated under the laws of Chile. Lan Airlines was incorporated by a public deed dated December 30, 1983, an abstract of which was published in the Chilean Official Gazette (Diario Oficial de la República de Chile) No. 31.759 on December 31, 1983, and registered on page 20,341, No. 11,248 of the Chilean Real Estate and Commercial Registrar (Registro de Comercio del Conservador de Bienes Raices y Comercio de Santiago) for the year 1983. Our corporate purpose, as stated in our by-laws, is to provide a broad range of transportation and related services, as more fully set forth in Article Four thereof.

General

Shareholders’ rights in a Chilean company are generally governed by the company’s by-laws and the Chilean Corporation Law. Article 22 of the Chilean Corporation Law states that the purchaser of shares of a company implicitly accepts its by-laws and any prior agreements adopted at shareholders’ meetings. Additionally, the Chilean Corporation Law regulates 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 the provisions of the Chilean Corporation Law take precedence over any contrary provision in a corporation’s by-laws. The Chilean Corporation Law and our by-laws also provide that all disputes arising among shareholders in their capacity as such or between us or our 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. Despite the foregoing a recent legal amendment has forbidden certain individuals (directors, senior managers, administrators and main executives of the corporation, and any shareholder that directly or indirectly holds shares whose book or market value exceed 5,000 UF at the moment of filing of the action) from submitting such action before the ordinary courts, thus obligating them to proceed with arbitration in all situations. Finally, Decree-Law No. 3,500 on Pension Fund Administrators, which allows pension funds to invest in the stock of qualified corporations, indirectly affects corporate governance and prescribes certain rights of shareholders. The Chilean Corporation Law sets forth the rules and requirements under which a corporation is deemed to be “publicly held.” Article 2 of the Chilean Corporation Law defines publicly held corporations as corporations that register their shares with the Registro de Valores (Securities Registry) of the SVS, either voluntarily or pursuant to a legal obligation. In addition, Article 5 of the Chilean Securities Market Law indicates which corporation’s shares must be registered with the Securities Registry:

 

   

one with 500 or more shareholders; and

 

   

one in which 100 or more shareholders own at least 10% of the subscribed capital (excluding any direct or indirect individual holdings exceeding 10%).

The framework of the Chilean securities market is regulated by 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. In particular, the Securities Market Law establishes requirements for public offerings, stock exchanges and brokers and outlines disclosure requirements for corporations that issue publicly offered securities.

Ownership Restrictions

Under Articles 12 and 20 of the Securities Market Law and Circular 289 issued by the SVS in 2009, 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. Since the ADRs are deemed to represent the shares underlying the ADSs, transactions in ADRs will be subject to those reporting requirements. Among other matters, the beneficial owners of ADSs that directly or indirectly hold 10% or more of the subscribed capital of Lan Airlines, or that reach or exceed such percentage through an acquisition, are required to report to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges, the day following the event:

 

   

any acquisition or sale of shares; and

 

157


Table of Contents
   

any acquisition or sale of contracts or securities the price or performance of which depends on the price variation of the Lan Airlines’ shares.

These obligations are extended (i) to certain individuals (immediate family, next of kin and others) if the ADSs holder is a natural person; (ii) to any entity controlled by the holder, if the ADSs is an legal entity,; and (iii) to groups, if a holder has any joint action agreement with other holders and the group reaches or exceeds the cited threshold.

In addition, majority shareholders must state in their report whether their purpose is to acquire control of the company or if they are making a financial investment.

Under Article 54 of the Securities Market Law and under SVS regulations, persons or entities that intend to acquire control, whether directly or indirectly, of a publicly traded company, must follow certain notice requirements, regardless of the acquisition vehicle or procedure or whether the acquisition will be made through direct subscriptions or private transactions. In the first place, the potential acquiror must send a written communication to the target corporation, any companies controlling or controlled by the target corporation, the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges on which the target’s securities are listed, stating, among other things, the person or entity purchasing or selling and the price and conditions of any negotiations. Subsequently, the potential acquiror must also inform the public of its planned acquisition by means of a publication in two Chilean newspapers with national distribution and by uploading such notice to the acquiror’s website, if available. Both requirements shall be met at least ten business days prior to the date on which the acquisition transaction is to close, and in any event, as soon as negotiations regarding the change of control have been formalized or when confidential information or documents concerning the target are delivered to the potential acquiror. The notices must state, among other things, the person or entity purchasing or selling and the price and conditions of any negotiations.

In addition to the foregoing, Article 54A of the Securities Market Law requires that within two business days of the completion of the transactions pursuant to which a person has acquired control of a publicly traded company, a notice shall be published in the same newspapers in which the notice referred to above was published and notices shall be sent to the same persons mentioned in the preceding paragraphs.

Consequently, a beneficial owner of ADSs intending to acquire control of Lan Airlines will be subject to the foregoing reporting requirements.

The provisions of the aforementioned articles do not apply whenever the acquisition is being made through a tender or exchange offer.

Title XXV of the Securities Market Law on tender offers and SVS regulations provide that the following transactions shall be carried out through a tender offer:

 

   

an offer which allows to take control of a publicly traded company, unless the shares are being sold by a controlling shareholder of such company at a price in cash which is not substantially higher than the market price and the shares of such company are actively traded on a stock exchange;

 

   

an offer for all the outstanding shares of a publicly traded company upon acquiring two-thirds or more of its voting shares (this offer must be made at a price not lower than the price at which appraisal rights may be exercised, that is, book value if the shares of the company are not actively traded or, if the shares of the company are actively traded, the weighted average price at which the stock has been traded during the two months immediately preceding the acquisition); and

 

   

an offer for a controlling percentage of the shares of a publicly traded company if the acquiror intends to take control of the company (whether publicly-traded or privately held) controlling such publicly traded company, to the extent that the latter represents 75.0% or more of the consolidated net assets of the former.

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 twelve months from the date of the transaction that granted it control of the

 

158


Table of Contents

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 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.

Title XV of the Securities Market Law sets forth the basis for determining what constitutes a controlling power, a direct holding and a related party.

Capitalization

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 issued shares, the shares are registered in that investor’s name even without payment, 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 despite not having paid for the subscribed shares. 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 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, as noted above). Regarding shares issued but not paid for within the period determined by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting for their payment (which period cannot exceed three years from the date of such shareholders’ meeting), until January 1, 2010 they were canceled and no longer available for issuance by us. As of January 1, 2010, the board of directors of Lan Airlines has a legal obligation to initiate the necessary legal actions to collect the unpaid amounts, unless the shareholders’ meeting which authorized the capital increase, allowed the board to abstain from taking such action by a vote of two thirds of the issued shares, in which case the former rule still applies. Once the foregoing legal actions are exhausted, the board of directors shall propose to the shareholders’ meeting the appropriate capital adjustment measures, to be decided by simple majority. Fully paid shares are not subject to further calls or assessments or to liabilities of Lan Airlines.

As of February 29, 2012, our share capital consisted of 340.381.831 common shares, all of which were subscribed and fully paid. Chilean law recognizes the right to issue common and preferred shares. To date, we have issued and are authorized by our shareholders to issue only common shares. Each share of stock is entitled to one vote. Pursuant to an employee compensation plan approved by extraordinary shareholders’ meetings dated April 5, 2007 and October 29, 2009, the issuance of certain shares has been authorized but that has not been made effective in full, as such issuance is subject to the exercising of rights granted to certain employees that expire on March 31, 2012.

Preemptive Rights and Increases in Share Capital

The Chilean Corporation Law requires Chilean companies to offer existing shareholders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing percentage of ownership in a company whenever that company issues new shares for cash, except for up to 10% of the capital increase which may be destined to employee compensation pursuant to article 24 of the Corporation Law. Under this requirement, any preemptive rights will be offered by us to the depositary as the registered owner of the common shares underlying the ADSs, but holders of ADSs and shareholders located in the United States will not be allowed to exercise preemptive rights with respect to new issuances of shares by us unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to those common shares or an exemption from the registration requirements thereunder is available.

We intend to evaluate at the time of any preemptive rights offering the costs and potential liabilities associated with the preparation and filing of a registration statement with the SEC, as well as the indirect benefits of enabling the exercise by the holders of ADSs and shareholders located in the United States of preemptive rights and any other

 

159


Table of Contents

factors we consider appropriate at the time. No assurances can be given that any registration statement would be filed. If preemptive rights are not made available to ADS holders, the depositary may sell those holders’ preemptive rights and distribute the proceeds thereof if a secondary market for such rights exists and a premium can be recognized over the cost of such sale. In the event that the depositary does not sell such rights at a premium over the cost of any such sale, all or certain holders of ADRs may receive no value for the preemptive rights. The inability of holders of ADSs to exercise preemptive rights in respect of common shares underlying their ADSs could result in a change in their percentage ownership of common shares following a preemptive rights offering.

Under Chilean law, preemptive rights are freely exercisable, transferable or waived by shareholders during a thirty-day period commencing upon publication of the official notice announcing the start of the preemptive rights period in the newspaper designated by the shareholders’ meeting. The preemptive right of the shareholders is the pro rata amount of the shares registered in their name in the shareholders’ registry of Lan Airlines as of the fifth business day prior to the date of publication of the notice announcing the start of the preemptive rights period. During such thirty-day period (except for shares as to which preemptive rights have been waived), Chilean companies are not permitted to offer any newly issued common shares for sale to third parties. For that thirty-day period and an additional thirty-day period, Chilean publicly held corporations are not permitted to offer any unsubscribed common shares for sale to third parties on terms that are more favorable to the purchaser than those offered to shareholders. At the end of such additional thirty-day period, Chilean publicly held corporations are authorized to sell non-subscribed shares to third-parties on any terms, provided they are sold on a Chilean stock exchange.

Directors

Our by-laws provide for a board of nine directors. Compensation to be paid to directors must be approved by vote at the annual shareholders’ meeting. We hold elections for all positions on the board of directors every two years. Under our by-laws, directors are elected by cumulative voting. Each shareholder has one vote per share and may cast all of his or her votes in favor of one nominee or may apportion his or her votes among any number of nominees. These voting provisions currently ensure that a shareholder owning more than 10% of our outstanding shares is able to elect at least one representative to our board of directors.

Under the Chilean Corporation Law, transactions of a publicly-traded company with a “related” party must be conducted on an arm’s-length basis and must satisfy certain approval and disclosure requirements which are different from the ones that apply to a privately-held company. The conditions apply to the publicly-traded company and to all of its subsidiaries.

These transactions include any negotiation, act, contract or operation in which the publicly-traded company intervenes together with either (i) parties which are legally deemed related pursuant to article 100 of the Chilean Securities Market Law, (ii) a director, senior manager, administrator, main executive or liquidator of the company, either on their own behalf or on behalf of a third party, including those individuals’ spouses or close relatives, (iii) companies in which the foregoing individuals own at least 10% (directly or indirectly), or in which they serve as directors, senior managers, administrators or main executives (iv) parties indicated as such in the publicly-traded company’s by-laws, or identified by the directors’ committee, or (v) those who have served as directors, senior managers, administrators, main executives or liquidators of the counterparty in the last eighteen months and are now serving in one of those positions at the publicly-traded company.

Corporations may enter into transactions with related parties if (i) the transaction is in the interest of the corporation, (ii) the transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis at market conditions, (iii) the individuals involved in the transactions report them immediately to the board, (iv) the transaction is approved after a reasoned explanation by the majority of the board, excluding those directors or liquidators that are involved in the transaction (who shall, nonetheless, render an opinion on the matter if required by the board), (v) the decisions of the board is disclosed at the next shareholders’ meeting, and (vi) in case the majority of the board is disqualified to vote, the majority of the non-involved directors have approved the transaction, or two thirds of the voting shares have approved the transaction).

If as noted in (vi) above, the transaction is to be approved by the shareholder’s meeting, the following additional rules apply: (i) the board shall appoint an independent appraiser that shall report to the shareholders on the

 

160

transaction; (ii) the director’s committee or the non-involved directors may appoint a second independent appraiser; (iii) the appraiser’s reports shall be made available for fifteen days; (iv) the receipt and availability of the reports shall be disclosed as a material fact; (iv) directors shall render an opinion on the transaction within five business days after receiving the reports.

Transactions which do not meet the foregoing requirements are valid and enforceable, but neither the corporation nor its shareholders shall have a cause of action to sue the infringing party for reimbursement on behalf of the corporation, for a total of the benefits reported to the interested party, in addition to indemnification for the damages caused. In such proceedings, the defendant shall prove that the transaction met the legal requirements.

The Chilean Corporation Law sets forth a number of exceptions to the foregoing rules. In the following situations, transactions with related parties may be carried out without complying with the foregoing rules: (i) if a transaction does not involve a substantial amount (if it does not exceed 1.0% of the net worth of the company and does not exceed the equivalent of 2,000 UF or approximately US$92,000 as of the date of this annual report on Form 20F) unless such a transaction exceeds 20,000 UF (for this calculation all similar transactions carried out within a consecutive 12-month period between the same parties or for the same subject matter, shall be deemed as a single transaction), (ii) transactions which according to the policies determined by the board of directors, are deemed to be within the ordinary course of business (the determination of such policies shall be disclosed as a material fact and made available to shareholders), and (iii) if the counterparty is an entity in which the publicly-traded company has, directly or indirectly, at least a 95.0% ownership. As per the exemption indicated in (ii) above, on December 29, 2009, the Board of Directors of LAN determined the cited policies setting forth the transactions that fall within the ordinary course of business. That determination was publicly disclosed on the same day and is currently available on LAN’s website under the “Corporate Governance” section.”

Shareholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights

The Chilean Corporation Law requires that an ordinary annual meeting of shareholders be held within the first four months of each year after being called by the board of directors (generally they are held in April, but in any case following the preparation of our financial statements, including the report of our auditors, for the previous fiscal year). Lan Airlines’ by-laws further provide that the ordinary annual meeting of shareholders must take place between February 1 and April 30. The shareholders at the ordinary annual meeting approve the annual financial statements, including the report of our auditors, the annual report, the dividend policy and the final dividend on the prior year’s profits, elect the board of directors (in our case, every two years or earlier if a vacancy occurs) and approve any other matter that does not require an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting. The most recent extraordinary meeting of our shareholders was held on December 21, 2011, and the most recent ordinary annual meeting of our shareholders was held on April 29, 2011.

Extraordinary shareholders’ meetings may be called by the board of directors, if deemed appropriate, and ordinary or extraordinary shareholders’ meetings must be called by the board of directors when requested by shareholders representing at least 10.0% of the issued voting shares or by the SVS. In addition, as from January 1, 2010 there are two new rules in this regard: (i) the SVS may directly call for an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting in case of a publicly-traded companies, and (ii) any kind of shareholders’ meeting may be self-convened and take place if all voting shares attend, regardless of the fulfillment of the notice and other type of procedural requirements.

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 our corporate domicile (currently Santiago, Chile) 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 pursuant to legal requirements. The first notice must be published not less than fifteen days and not more than twenty days in advance of the scheduled meeting. Notice also must be mailed not less than fifteen days in advance of the meeting to each shareholder and to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges. Currently, we publish our official notices in the newspaper La Tercera (available online at www.latercera.com).

The quorum for a shareholders’ meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing a majority of our issued common shares. If that quorum is not reached, the meeting can be reconvened within forty-five days, and at the second meeting the shareholders present are deemed to constitute a quorum regardless of the percentage of the common shares that they represent.

Table of Contents

Only shareholders registered with us on the fifth business day prior to the date of a meeting are entitled to attend and vote their shares. A shareholder may appoint another individual (who need not be a shareholder) as his or her proxy to attend and vote on his or her behalf. Proxies addressed to us that do not designate a person to exercise the proxy are taken into account in order to determine if there is a sufficient quorum to hold the meeting, but the shares represented thereby are not entitled to vote at the meeting. The proxies must fulfill the requirements set forth by the Chilean Corporation Law and its regulatory norms. Every shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a shareholders’ meeting has one vote for every share subscribed.

The following matters can only be considered at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting:

 

   

our dissolution;

 

   

a merger, transformation, division or other change in our corporate form or the amendment of our by-laws;

 

   

the issuance of bonds or debentures convertible into shares;

 

   

the conveyance of 50% or more of our assets (whether or not it includes our liabilities);

 

   

the adoption or amendment of any business plan which contemplates the conveyance of assets in excess of the foregoing percentage;

 

   

the conveyance of 50% or more of the assets of a subsidiary, if the latter represents at least 20% of our assets;

 

   

the conveyance of shares of a subsidiary which entails the transfer of control;

 

   

granting of a security interest or a personal guarantee in each case to secure the obligations of third parties, unless to secure or guarantee the obligations of a subsidiary, in which case only the approval of the board of directors will suffice; and

 

   

other matters that require shareholder approval according to Chilean law or the by-laws.

The matters referred to in the first seven items listed above may only be approved at a meeting held before a notary public, who shall certify that the minutes are a true record of the events and resolutions of the meeting.

The by-laws establish that resolutions are passed at shareholders’ meetings by the affirmative vote of an absolute majority of those voting shares present or represented at the meeting. However, under the Chilean Corporation Law, the vote of a two-thirds majority of the outstanding voting shares is required to approve any of the following actions:

 

   

a change in our corporate form, division or merger with another entity;

 

   

amendment to our term of existence, if any;

 

   

our early dissolution;

 

   

change in our corporate domicile;

 

   

decrease of our capital stock;

 

   

approval of contributions and the assessment thereof whenever consisting of assets other than money;

any modification of the authority reserved for the shareholders’ meetings or limitations on the powers of the board of directors;

 

   

decrease in the number of members of the board of directors;

 

   

the conveyance of 50% or more our assets (whether or not it includes our liabilities);

 

   

the adoption or amendment of any business plan which contemplates the conveyance of assets in excess of the foregoing percentage;

 

   

the conveyance of 50% or more of the assets of a subsidiary, if the latter represents at least 20% of our assets;

 

   

the conveyance of shares of a subsidiary which entails the transfer of control;

 

   

the form that dividends are paid in;

 

   

granting a security interest or a personal guarantee in each case to secure obligations of third parties that exceeds 50% of our assets, unless to secure or guarantee the obligations of a subsidiary, in which case only approval of the board of directors will suffice;

 

   

the acquisition of our own shares, when, and on the terms and conditions, permitted by law;

 

   

all other matters provided for in the by-laws; and

 

   

the correction of any formal defect in our incorporation or any amendment to our by-laws that refers to any of the matters indicated in the first thirteen items listed above;

 

   

the institution of the right of the controlling shareholder who has purchases at least 95% of the shares, to purchase shares of the outstanding minority shareholders pursuant to the procedure set forth in article 71 bis of the Corporation Law;

 

   

the approval or ratification of transactions with related parties, as per article 147 of the Corporation Law (described above).

Amendments to the by-laws that have the effect of establishing, modifying or eliminating any special rights pertaining to any series of shares require the consenting vote of holders of two-thirds of the shares of the affected series. As noted above, Lan Airlines does not have special series of shares.

In general, Chilean law does not require a publicly held corporation to provide the level and type of information that the U.S. securities laws require a reporting company to provide to its shareholders in connection with a solicitation of proxies. However, shareholders are entitled to examine the books of the company and its subsidiaries within the fifteen-day period before the scheduled meeting. No later than the first notice summoning an ordinary shareholder’s meeting, the board of directors of a publicly held corporation shall send to every shareholder notice by regular mail, containing a reference to the issues that will be discussed, together with instructions to obtain all the appropriate documentation regarding those issues, in addition to being obligated to publish them in our website, and also a copy of the annual report and the financial statements of the company. 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 required of the company such sending. Shareholders who do not fall into this category but who request it must be sent a copy of our annual report. In addition to these requirements, we regularly have provided, and currently intend to continue to provide, together with the notice of shareholders’ meeting, a proposal for the final annual dividend for shareholder approval. See “—Dividend and Liquidation Rights” below.

 

163


Table of Contents

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, together with the comments and proposals set forth by the directors’ committee. 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, together with the comments and proposals set forth by the directors’ committee.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

In accordance with the Chilean Corporation Law, Lan Airlines must distribute an annual cash dividend equal to at least 30% of its annual net income calculated in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise decided by a unanimous vote of the holders of all issued shares, and unless and except to the extent it has accumulated losses. If there is no net income in a given year, Lan Airlines can elect but is not legally obligated to distribute dividends out of retained earnings. All outstanding common shares are entitled to share equally in all dividends declared by Lan Airlines, unless the shares have not been fully paid by the shareholder after being subscribed.

For all dividend distributions agreed by the board of directors in excess of the mandatory minimum of 30% noted in the preceding paragraph, Lan Airlines may grant an option to its shareholders to receive those dividends in cash, or in shares issued by either Lan Airlines or other corporations. Shareholders who do not expressly elect to receive a dividend other than in cash are legally presumed to have decided to receive the dividend in cash. A U.S. holder of ADSs may, in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an available exemption from the registration requirement thereunder, effectively be required to receive a dividend in cash. See “—Preemptive Rights and Increases in Share Capital” above.

Dividends that are declared but not paid within the appropriate time period set forth in the Chilean Corporation Law (as to minimum dividends, thirty 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. The right to receive a dividend lapses if it is not claimed within five years from the date such dividend is payable. After that period, the amount not claimed is given to a non-profit organization, the Junta Nacional de Cuerpos de Bomberos de Chile (the National Corporation of Firefighters).

In the event of Lan Airlines’ liquidation, the holders of fully paid 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.

Approval of Financial Statements

The board of directors is required to submit our consolidated financial statements to the shareholders for their approval at the annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting. If the shareholders reject the financial statements, the board of directors must submit new financial statements not later than sixty days from the date of that meeting. If the shareholders reject the new financial statements, the entire board of directors is deemed removed from office and a new board is to be elected at the same meeting. Directors who approved such financial statements are disqualified for re-election for the ensuing period.

Right of Dissenting Shareholders to Tender Their Shares

The Chilean Corporation Law provides that, upon the adoption at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders of any of the resolutions or if it takes place any of the situations enumerated below, dissenting or affected shareholders acquire the right to withdraw and to compel the company to repurchase their shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions. However, such right shall be suspended if we are declared bankrupt or are subject to a

 

164


Table of Contents

creditor’s agreement pursuant to Title XII of Book IV of the Commerce Code. In the case of holders of ADRs, however, in order to exercise such rights, holders of ADRs would be required to first withdraw the common shares represented by the ADRs pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement. Such holders of ADRs would need to perfect the withdrawal of the common shares on or before the fifth business day prior to the date of the meeting.

“Dissenting shareholders” are defined as 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 thirty days. Dissenting shareholders must perfect their withdrawal rights by tendering their stock to the company within thirty days after adoption of the resolution.

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, less 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 and situations 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;

 

   

the adoption or amendment of any business plan which contemplates the conveyance of assets in excess of the foregoing percentage;

 

   

the conveyance of 50% or more of the assets of a subsidiary, if the latter represents at least 20% of our assets;

 

   

the conveyance of shares of a subsidiary which entails the transfer of control;

 

   

the creation of preferential rights for a class of shares or an extension, amendment 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;

 

   

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 requirements set forth in “—General” cease to be met;

 

   

if a publicly-traded company ceases to be obligated to register its shares in the Securities Registry of the SVS, and an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting agrees to de-register the shares and finalize its disclosure obligations mandated by the Corporation Law;

 

165


Table of Contents
   

if the controlling shareholder of a publicly-traded company reaches over 95% of the shares (in such case, the right must be exercised within 30 days of the date in which the threshold is reached, circumstance that must be communicated by means of a publication); and

 

   

such other causes as may be established by the company’s by-laws (no such additional resolutions currently are specified in our by-laws).

In addition, 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 offer for the remaining shares within thirty days after acquisition.

Under Article 69(bis) of the Chilean Corporation Law, the right to withdraw also is 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 thirty 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.

There is no legal precedent as to whether a shareholder that has voted both for and against a proposal (such as the depositary) may exercise withdrawal rights with respect to the shares voted against the proposal. As such, there is doubt as to whether holders of ADRs who have not surrendered their ADRs and withdrawn common shares on or before the fifth business day prior to the shareholder meeting will be able to exercise withdrawal rights either directly or through the depositary with respect to the shares represented by ADRs. Under the provisions of the deposit agreement the depositary will not exercise these withdrawal rights.

The circumstance indicated above regarding ownership in excess of 95% by the controlling shareholder creates not only a withdrawal right for the remaining minority shareholders, but as of January 1, 2010, it also creates a “squeeze out” right by the controlling shareholder with respect to those same shareholders (granting a call option by means of which the controlling shareholder may buy-out the existing ownership participations pursuant to the provisions of article 71 bis of the Corporation Law).

Registration and Transfers

The Depósito Central de Valores, (“DCV”), acts as Lan Airlines’ registration agent. In the case of jointly owned common shares, an attorney-in-fact must be appointed to represent the joint owners in dealings with us.

Proposed Merger Agreements

D. Exchange Controls

Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile

The Central Bank of Chile is responsible, among other things, for monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile. Equity investments, including investments in shares of stock by persons who are non-Chilean residents, have been generally subject in the past to various exchange control regulations restricting the repatriation of their investments and the earnings thereon.

Table of Contents

Article 47 of the Central Bank Act and former Chapter XXVI of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations regulated the foreign exchange aspects of the issuance of ADSs by a Chilean company until April 2001. According to former Chapter XXVI, the Central Bank of Chile and the depositary had to enter into an agreement in order to gain access to the formal exchange market. The issuers of the shares underlying the ADSs and the custodian could also be parties to these agreements and we are party to such agreement.

On April 16, 2001, the Central Bank of Chile agreed that, effective April 19, 2001:

 

   

prior foreign exchange restrictions would be eliminated: and

 

   

a new Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales) would be applied.

The main objective of these amendments, as declared by the Central Bank of Chile, is to facilitate movement of capital in and out of Chile and to encourage foreign investment.

In connection with the change in policy, the Central Bank of Chile eliminated the following restrictions:

 

   

a reserve requirement with the Central Bank of Chile for a period of one year (this mandatory reserve was imposed on foreign loans and funds brought into Chile to purchase shares other than those acquired in the establishment of a new company or in the capital increase of the issuing company; the reserve requirement was gradually decreased from 30% of the proposed investment to 0%);

 

   

the requirement of prior approval by the Central Bank of Chile for certain operations;

 

   

mandatory return of foreign currency to Chile; and

 

   

mandatory conversion of foreign currency into Chilean pesos.

Under the new regulations, only the following limitations apply to these operations:

 

   

the Central Bank of Chile must be provided with information related to certain operations; and

 

   

certain operations must be conducted with the Formal Exchange Market.

The Central Bank of Chile also eliminated Chapter XXVI of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations, which regulated the establishment of an ADR facility by a Chilean company. Pursuant to the new rules, it is no longer necessary to seek the Central Bank of Chile’s prior approval in order to establish an ADR facility nor to enter into a foreign investment contract with the Central Bank of Chile. The establishment of an ADR facility is now regarded as an ordinary foreign investment, and simply requires that the Central Bank of Chile be informed of the transaction pursuant to Chapter XIV of the amended Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations and that the foreign currency transactions related thereby be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market.

However, all contracts executed under the provisions of former Chapter XXVI (including the foreign investment contract among Lan Airlines, the Central Bank of Chile and the ADS depositary, or the “Foreign Investment Contract”), remain in full force and effect and continue to be governed by the provisions, and continue to be subject to the restrictions, set forth in former Chapter XXVI at the time of its abrogation. Our Foreign Investment Contract guarantees ADS investors access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert amounts from Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars and repatriate amounts received with respect to deposited common shares or common shares withdrawn from deposit or surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying common shares and any rights arising from them).

The guarantee of access to the Formal Exchange Market under the Foreign Investment Contract requires compliance of the following conditions:

 

   

the funds to purchase the common shares underlying the ADSs are brought into Chile and converted into Chilean pesos through the Formal Exchange Market;

 

171


Table of Contents
   

the purchase of the underlying common shares is made on a Chilean stock exchange; and

 

   

within five business days from conversion of the funds into Chilean pesos, the Central Bank of Chile is informed that the conversion funds were used to purchase the underlying common shares.

The following is a summary of material provisions of the Foreign Investment Contract, a form of which was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-7750) that we filed on October 10, 1997 in connection with our November 6, 1997 offering. This summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to former Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract.

Under former Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract, the Central Bank of Chile agreed to grant to the depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, and to any investor not residing or domiciled in Chile who withdraws common shares upon surrender of ADRs, access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars (and to remit those dollars outside Chile) in respect of common shares represented by ADSs or withdrawn shares, including amounts received as:

 

   

cash dividends;

 

   

proceeds from the sale in Chile of withdrawn shares or from shares distributed as a result of a liquidation, merger or consolidation of Lan Airlines (subject to receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the holder of the withdrawn shares or the distributed shares (or from an institution authorized by the Central Bank of Chile) that the holder’s residence and domicile are outside of Chile, and a certificate from a Chilean stock exchange (or from a brokerage or securities firm established in Chile) that the withdrawn shares or the distributed shares were sold on a Chilean stock exchange);

 

   

proceeds from the sale in Chile of preemptive rights to subscribe for additional common shares;

 

   

proceeds from the liquidation, merger or consolidation of Lan Airlines;

 

   

proceeds from the sale in Chile of common shares received as a dividend; and

 

   

other distributions, including those in respect of any recapitalization resulting from holding common shares represented by ADSs or withdrawn shares.

Former Chapter XXVI provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with dividend payments is conditioned on our certifying to the Central Bank of Chile that a dividend payment has been made and that any applicable tax has been withheld. We agreed to provide this certification. former Chapter XXVI also provides that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with the sale of withdrawn shares, or distribution on them, is conditioned upon receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certification by the depositary or custodian, as the case may be, that the common shares have been withdrawn in exchange for delivery of the appropriate ADRs and receipt of a waiver of the benefit of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect to them (except in connection with the proposed sale of the common shares) until the withdrawn shares are redeposited.

Former Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract provided that a person who brings foreign currency into Chile to purchase common shares pursuant to the Foreign Investment Contract must convert that foreign currency into Chilean pesos on the date of entry into Chile, and must invest in common shares within five banking business days in order to receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract. If a person does not invest in common shares within that period, that person can access the Formal Exchange Market to reacquire foreign currency, provided that the request is presented to the Central Bank of Chile within seven banking business days of the initial conversion into pesos. Common shares acquired as described above may be deposited in exchange for ADRs and will receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract, subject to:

 

   

receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the depositary that the common shares have been deposited and that the related ADRs have been issued; and

 

172


Table of Contents
   

receipt by the custodian of a declaration from the person making the deposit waiving the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect to the deposited common shares.

Access to the Formal Exchange Market under any of the circumstances described above is not automatic. Pursuant to former Chapter XXVI, such access required approval of the Central Bank of Chile based on a request presented through a banking institution established in Chile. The Foreign Investment Contract provides that if the Central Bank of Chile has not acted on the request within seven banking days, the request is deemed approved.

Under current Chilean law, the Foreign Investment Contract cannot be changed unilaterally by the Central Bank of Chile. We cannot guarantee, however, that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, the disposition of the common shares underlying ADSs or the repatriation of the proceeds from an acquisition, a disposition or a dividend payment, will not be imposed or required in the future, nor could we make an assessment as to the duration or impact, were any such restrictions to be imposed or required. On May 10, 2007, the Council of the Central Bank of Chile agreed to grant the Chilean companies that increased their capital stock between the date of the agreement and August 31, 2007 the option to request, on a one-time only basis, the application of Chapter XXVI to those shares issued and actually paid before August 31, 2008 (assuming prior fulfillment of the requirements of the Central Bank of Chile).

On May 10, 2007, the Board of the Central Bank of Chile resolved to interpret the regulations regarding the former Chapter XXVI in connection with the access granted to the Formal Exchange Market. These regulations allowed entities that carry out capital increases by means of the issuance of cash shares before August 31, 2007 to apply the aforementioned regulation to their capital increases, but only once and only if those shares can be fully subscribed and paid by August 31, 2008, among other conditions. Consequently, capital increases carried out after August 31, 2007 will have no guaranteed access to the Formal Exchange Market. Furthermore, there is no assurance that (i) additional Chilean restrictions may be inapplicable to the holders of ADRs, (ii) the disposition of underlying shares or the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition will be subject to restrictions in the future, and (iii) we cannot assess the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed. Furthermore, the Central Bank of Chile interpreted in December 9, 2004, that new shares issued by Chilean banking institutions in connection with a merger of an issuer of ADSs that has previously executed a Foreign Investment Contract with the Central Bank of Chile with another company, are not covered by the terms of such Foreign Investment Contract. The Central Bank of Chile granted to Chilean banking institutions only and for a term of 90-days from December 9, 2004, the option to subject to the Foreign Investment Contract any shares issued as a result of a merger after the execution of such contract.

Therefore, any shares to be issued by LAN pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers will not be covered by the Foreign Investment Contract. Based on the foregoing, and in order for all ADS to be subject to the same exchange control regime, LAN’s Board of Directors has resolved to enter into a termination agreement with respect to the Foreign Investment Contract. ADR holders will be notified about this termination in accordance to Section 16 of the depositary agreement. See item 3. “D Risks Relating to Exchange Offer and Mergers involving TAM S.A.” for a description of the exchange offer and the mergers.

Upon termination of the Foreign Investment Contract, the ADR program will be governed by Chapter XIV of the Compendium on “Regulations applicable to Credits, Deposits, Investments and Capital Contributions from Abroad”. According to Chapter XIV, the establishment of an ADR program is regarded as an ordinary foreign investment, and it is not necessary to seek the Central Bank of Chile’s prior approval in order to establish an ADR facility. The establishment of an ADR facility only requires that the Central Bank of Chile be informed of the transaction, and that the foreign currency transactions related thereby be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market.

Investment in Our Shares and ADRs after the mergers

Investments made in shares of our common stock after the mergers will be subject to the following requirements:

 

   

any foreign investor acquiring shares of our common stock who brought funds into Chile for that purpose must bring those funds through an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market;

 

   

any foreign investor acquiring shares of our common stock to be converted into ADSs or deposited into an ADR program who brought funds into Chile for that purpose must bring those funds through an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market;

 

   

in both cases, the entity of the Formal Exchange Market through which the funds are brought into Chile must report such investment to the Central Bank of Chile;

 

   

all remittances of funds from Chile to the foreign investor upon the sale of the acquired shares of our common stock or from dividends or other distributions made in connection therewith must be made through the Formal Exchange Market;

 

   

all remittances of funds from Chile to the foreign investor upon the sale of shares underlying ADSs or from dividends or other distributions made in connection therewith must be made through the Formal Exchange Market; and

 

   

all remittances of funds made to the foreign investor must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile by the intervening entity of the Formal Exchange Market.

When funds are brought into Chile for a purpose other than to acquire shares to convert them into ADSs or deposit them into an ADR program and subsequently such funds are used to acquire shares to be converted into ADSs or deposited into an ADR program such investment must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile by the custodian within 10 days following the end of each month within which the custodian is obligated to deliver periodic reports to the Central Bank of Chile.

When funds to acquire shares of our common stock or to acquire shares to convert them into ADSs or deposit them into an ADR program are received by us abroad (i.e., outside of Chile), such investment must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile directly by the foreign investor or by an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market within ten days following the end of the month in which the investment was made.

All payments in foreign currency in connection with our shares of common stock or ADSs made from Chile through the Formal Exchange Market must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile by the entity participating in the transaction. In the event there are payments made outside of Chile, the foreign investor must provide the relevant information to the Central Bank of Chile directly or through an entity of the Formal Exchange Market within the first ten calendar days of the month following the date on which the payment was made.

There can be no assurance that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADSs, the disposition of shares of our common shares underlying ADSs or the conversion or repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition will not be imposed in the future, nor can we assess the duration or impact of such restriction if imposed.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to Chapter XIV of the Central Bank of Chile’s Foreign Exchange Regulations, a copy of which is available in Spanish and English versions at the Central Bank’s website at www.bcentral.cl.

Voting Rights

Holders of our ADSs, which represent common shares, may instruct the depositary to vote the shares underlying their ADRs. If we ask holders for instructions, the depositary will notify such holders of the upcoming vote and arrange to deliver our voting materials to such holders. The materials will describe the matters to be voted on and explain how holders may instruct the depositary to vote the shares or other deposited securities underlying their ADSs as they direct by a specified date. For instructions to be valid, the depositary must receive them on or before the date specified as “Vote Cut-Off Date.” The depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to Chilean law and the provisions of our by-laws, to vote or to have its agents vote the shares or other deposited securities as holders instruct. Otherwise, holders will not be able to exercise their right to vote unless they withdraw the shares. However, holders may not know about the meeting far enough in advance to withdraw the shares. We will use our best efforts to request that the depositary notify holders of upcoming votes and ask for their instructions.

If the depositary does not receive voting instructions from a holder by the specified date, it will consider such holder to have authorized and directed it to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by our board of directors to vote the number of deposited securities represented by such holder’s ADSs. The depositary will give a discretionary proxy in those circumstances to vote on all questions to be voted upon unless we notify the depositary that:

 

   

we do not wish to receive a discretionary proxy;

 

   

we think there is substantial shareholder opposition to the particular question; or

 

   

we think the particular question would have an adverse impact on our shareholders.

The depositary will only vote or attempt to vote as such holder instructs or as described above.

We cannot assure holders that they receive the voting materials in time to ensure that they can instruct the depositary to vote their shares. This means that holders may not be able to exercise their right to vote and there may be nothing they can do if their shares are not voted as they requested.

Exchange Rates

Prior to 1989, Chilean law permitted the purchase and sale of foreign exchange only in those cases explicitly authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. The Central Bank Act liberalized the rules that govern the ability to buy and sell foreign currency. The Central Bank Act empowers the Central Bank of Chile to determine that certain purchases and sales of foreign currency specified by law must be carried out exclusively in the Formal Exchange Market, which is made up of the banks and other entities authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. All payments and distributions with respect to the ADSs must be conducted exclusively in the Formal Exchange Market.

For purposes of the operation of the Formal Exchange Market, the Central Bank of Chile sets a reference exchange rate (dólar acuerdo). The Central Bank of Chile resets the reference exchange rate monthly, taking internal and external inflation into account, and adjusts the reference exchange rate daily to reflect variations in parities between the Chilean peso, the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen and the European euro.

The observed exchange rate (dólar observado) is the average exchange rate at which transactions were actually carried out in the Formal Exchange Market on a particular day, as certified by the Central Bank of Chile on the next banking day.

Prior to September 3, 1999, the Central Bank of Chile was authorized to buy or sell dollars in the Formal Exchange Market to maintain the observed exchange rate within a specified range above or below the reference exchange rate. On September 3, 1999, the Central Bank of Chile eliminated the exchange band. As a result, the Central Bank of Chile may buy and sell foreign exchange in the Formal Exchange Market in order to maintain the observed exchange rate at a level the Central Bank of Chile determines.

Purchases and sales of foreign exchange may be effected outside the Formal Exchange Market through the Informal Exchange Market (Mercado Cambiario Informal) established by the Central Bank in 1990. There are no limits on the extent to which the rate of exchange in the Informal Exchange Market can fluctuate above or below the observed exchange rate.

Although our results of operations have not been significantly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the peso and the U.S. dollar because our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, we are exposed to foreign exchange losses and gains due to exchange rate fluctuations. Even though the majority of our revenues are denominated in or pegged to the U.S. dollar, the Chilean government’s economic policies affecting foreign exchange and future fluctuations in the value of the peso against the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our results of operations and an investor’s return on an investment in ADSs.

E. Taxation

The following discussion relates to Chilean income tax laws presently in force, including Ruling No. 324 of January 29, 1990 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“Chilean IRS”) and other applicable regulations and rulings, all of which are subject to change. The discussion summarizes the principal Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in the ADSs or common shares 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 (such an individual or entity is referred to herein as a Foreign Holder). For purposes of Chilean tax law, an individual holder is a resident of Chile if such person has resided in Chile for more than six consecutive months in one calendar year or for a total of six months, whether consecutive or not, 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. The discussion is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation.

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 law. Chilean tax may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings, regulations and

 

174


Table of Contents

interpretations, but Chilean tax authorities may change these rulings, regulations and interpretations prospectively. On February 4, 2010, representatives of the governments of the United States and Chile signed an income tax treaty. The new treaty will have to be approved by the U.S. Senate.

Cash Dividends and Other Distributions

Cash dividends we pay with respect to the ADSs or common shares held by a Foreign Holder will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, which we withhold and pay over to the Chilean tax authorities and which we refer to as the Withholding Tax. A credit against the Withholding Tax is available based on the level of corporate income tax we actually paid on the income to be distributed (referred to herein 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 we register net income but taxable losses, no credit against the Withholding Tax will be available. In addition, if we distribute less than all of our distributable income, the credit for First Category Tax we pay is proportionately reduced. In 2011 the First Category Tax rate was 20%., and 18.5% for fiscal year 2012. From 2013 onwards, the rate of First Category Tax will revert back to 17%. In general, the example below illustrates the effective Withholding Tax burden on a cash dividend received by a Foreign Holder, assuming a Withholding Tax rate of 35%, an First Category Tax rate of 17%, and a distribution of 30% of the consolidated net income of the Company after payment of the First Category Tax:

 

The Company’s taxable income

     100.00   

First Category Tax (17% of Ch$100)

     (17

Net distributable income

     83.00   

Dividend distributed (30% of net distributable income)

     24.9   

First category increase

     5.1   

Withholding Tax (35% of the sum of Ch$24.9 dividend plus Ch$5.1 First Category Tax paid)

     (10.5

Credit for 17% of First Category Tax

     5.1   

Net tax withheld

     (5.4

Net dividend received

     19.5   

Effective dividend withholding rate

     21.69

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 income tax law, dividends generally are assumed to have been paid out of our oldest retained profits for purposes of determining the level of First Category Tax that we paid. The effective rate of Withholding Tax to be imposed on dividends we pay will vary depending upon the amount of First Category Tax we paid (if any) on the earnings to which the dividends are attributed, according to the Company’s Taxable Profit Fund. The Effective Withholding Tax rate for dividends attributed to earnings from 1991 until 2001, for which the First Category Tax rate was 15%, which result in a effective rate of 23.5%. 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%, from 2004 until 2010, the First Category Tax rate was 17%, which results in an effective rate of Withholding Tax of 21.69%, In 2011 the First category Tax rate was 20%, which results in a effective rate of Withholding Tax of 18,75%. In 2012 the First category Tax rate will be 18,5%, which results in a effective rate of Withholding Tax of 20,25%. From 2013 onwards the First category Tax rate will be 17%, which results in a effective rate of Withholding Tax of 21,69%

For dividends attributable to our profits during years when the First Category Tax was 10% (before 1991), the effective rate will be 27.8%. However, whether the First Category Tax is 10%, 15%, 16%, 16.5% or 17%, the effective overall combined tax rate imposed on our distributed profits will be 35%. In the event that profits from previous years are not sufficient to cover a particular dividend, and the dividend is attributable to the current year, we will generally withhold tax from the dividend at the full 35% rate. If as of December 31 of the year in which the dividend is paid, the withholding is determined to be excessive taking into account First Category Tax, holders may file for a refund.

Table of Contents

Dividend distributions made in property 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

Gain from the sale or other disposition by a Foreign Holder of ADRs evidencing ADSs outside Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation. The deposit and withdrawal of common shares in exchange for ADRs will not be subject to any Chilean taxes.

Gain recognized on a sale or disposition of common shares (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADRs evidencing ADSs representing such common shares) may be subject to both the First Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter) if:

 

   

the Foreign Holder has held the common shares for less than one year since exchanging ADSs for the Shares;

 

   

the Foreign Holder acquired and disposed of the common shares in the ordinary course of its business or as a habitual trader of shares; or

 

   

the Foreign Holder and the purchaser of the common shares are “related parties” or has an interest in the latter within the meaning of Article 17, Number 8, of the Chilean Income Tax Law.

In all other cases, gain on the disposition of common shares will be subject only to a flat capital gains tax which is assessed at the same rate as the First Category Tax as sole income tax (currently imposed at a rate 20% for 2011, 18.5% for 2012 and 17% from 2013 onwards) and no withholding tax will apply. The sale of shares of common stock by a Foreign 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 (sale price) amount, without any deduction, paid to, credited to, account for, put at the disposal of, or corresponding to, the Foreign Holder if the transaction is subject to the First Category Tax, as a sole tax. Unless the gain subject to taxation can be determined, case in which the withholding is equal to 17%, 20% or 18,5%, whichever is applicable, on the gain, or (ii) 20% of the total amount (the sale price without any deduction), paid to, credited to, account for, put at the disposal of, or corresponding to, the Foreign 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 Foreign 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. Gain recognized in the transfer of common shares that have a high presence in the stock exchange, however, is not subject to capital gains tax in Chile, provided that the common shares are transferred in a local stock exchange, in other authorized stock exchanges or within the process of a public tender of common shares governed by the Securities Market Law.

Chile’s Internal Revenue Service Ruling Nº224 (issued on January 30, 2008) confirmed that capital gains stemming from the sale of shares with high stock-market presence acquired through the exchange of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) for shares is not subject to capital gains tax in Chile. Such exemption is applicable provided that the purchase of such ADR certificates has been made at stock exchanges duly authorized by SVS (which includes the New York Stock Exchange).

The common shares must also have been acquired either in a stock exchange, within the process of a public tender of common shares governed by the Securities Market Law, in an initial public offer of common shares resulting from the formation of a corporation or a capital increase of the same, or in an exchange of convertible bonds. Shares are considered to have a high presence in the stock exchange when they:

 

   

are registered in the Securities Registry;

 

   

are registered in a Chilean Stock exchange; and

 

176


Table of Contents
   

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 UF (US$9,219 as of March 28, 2012) 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. This tax regime does not apply if the transaction involves an amount of shares that would allow the acquirer to take control of the publicly traded corporation, in which case the ordinary tax regime referred to in the previous paragraph will apply, unless the transfer is part of a tender offer governed by the Securities Market Law or the transfer is done on a Chilean stock exchange, without substantially exceeding the market price.

Capital gains obtained in the sale of shares 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 in a stock exchange or in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Market Law, or in any other form authorized by the SVS. 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:

 

   

a fund that offers its common shares or quotas publicly in a country with investment grade public debt, according to a classification performed by an international risk classification entity registered with the SVS;

 

   

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 registered with the SVS, provided that its investments in Chile constitute less than 30% of the share value of the fund, including deeds issued abroad representing Chilean securities, such as ADRs of Chilean companies;

 

   

a fund whose investments in Chile represent less than 30% of the share value of the fund, including deeds issued abroad representing Chilean securities, such as ADRs of Chilean companies, provided that not more than 10% of the share value of the fund is directly or indirectly owned by Chilean residents;

 

   

a pension fund that is formed exclusively by natural persons that receive pensions out of an accumulated capital in the fund;

 

   

a Foreign Capital Investment Fund, as defined in Law No. 18,657, in which case all quota holders shall be Chilean residents or domestic institutional investors; or

 

   

any other foreign institutional investor that complies with the requirements set forth in general regulations for each category of investor or prior information from the SVS and the Chilean IRS.

The foreign institutional investor must not directly or indirectly participate in the control of the corporations issuing the shares it invests in, nor possess or participate in 10% or more of the capital or the profits of such corporations.

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 the applicability of the tax exemption or tax withholding and inform the Chilean IRS of the investors it works with and the transactions it performs. Finally, the foreign institutional investor must register with the Chilean IRS by means of a sworn statement issued by such bank or stock broker.

The tax basis of common shares received in exchange for ADRs will be the acquisition value of the common shares on the date of exchange duly adjusted for local inflation. The valuation procedure set forth in the deposit agreement, which values common shares which are being exchanged at the highest price at which they trade on the SSE on the date of the exchange, will determine the acquisition value for this purpose. Consequently, the surrender of ADRs for common shares and the immediate sale of the common shares for the value established under the

 

177


Table of Contents

Deposit Agreement will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile, provided that the sale of the common shares is made on the same date on which the exchange of ADRs for common shares is recorded, or if the price of the common shares at the exchange date, as determined above, is higher than the price at which the common shares are sold.

The exercise of preemptive rights relating to the common shares will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Any gain on the sale of preemptive rights relating to the 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 ADSs by a Foreign Holder, but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by gift of the common shares by a Foreign Holder. There are no Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by Foreign Holders of ADSs or common shares.

Withholding Tax Certificates

Upon request, we will provide to Foreign Holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of the Withholding Tax (net of the applicable First Category Tax).

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares and ADSs by a beneficial owner that is: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) 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; (iii) a trust if (a) 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 (b) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person or (iv) an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income regardless of its source. For purposes of this discussion, we refer to these owners of common shares and ADSs as U.S. Holders.

This summary is not a comprehensive discussion of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to your decision to purchase ADSs or common shares. In particular, this discussion is directed only to U.S. Holders that will hold ADSs or common shares as capital assets and it does not address any special U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special treatment under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including, but not limited to banks or other financial institutions, regulated investment companies, entities that are treated for U.S. 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 own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our voting common stock, holders that acquired ADSs or common shares pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation, persons holding ADSs or common shares as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or a straddle, or persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. If a partnership holds ADSs or common shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A prospective investor who is a partner of a partnership holding our ADSs or common shares should consult its own tax advisor.

The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. 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 U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. In addition, this section is based in part upon the representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreements relating to the ADRs and any related agreements will be performed in accordance with their terms.

HOLDERS AND/OR PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF ADSs OR COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS AS TO THE CHILEAN, U.S. FEDERAL INCOME OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ADSs OR COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING, IN PARTICULAR, THE EFFECT OF ANY NON-U.S., STATE OR LOCAL TAX LAWS.

The following summary assumes that ADSs and common shares are not stock of a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on our audited financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2010 or 2011 taxable year. In addition, based on our audited financial statements and our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market and shareholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 2012 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 our assets and income that is characterized as passive under the PFIC rules.

ADRs

In general, if you are a U.S. Holder of ADRs evidencing our ADSs, you will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the beneficial owner of the underlying common shares that are represented by those ADSs and evidenced by those ADRs.

Taxation of Dividends

Distributions of cash or property (other than common stock, if any, distributed pro rata to all of our shareholders, including holders of ADSs) paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with respect to ADSs or common 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 U.S. holder’s gross income as ordinary income on the date on which you receive the dividends, in the case of common shares, or the date the depositary receives the dividends, in the case of common shares represented by ADSs, 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 U.S. holder’s gross income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the U.S. Holder receives the dividends, in the case of common shares, or the date the depositary receives the dividends, in the case of common shares represented by ADSs. U.S. Holders are encouraged to 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 U.S. dollars after they are received. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such excess amounts will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the ADSs or common shares and, thereafter, as capital gain.

We do not maintain calculations of earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should assume that any distribution made by us (other than common stock distributed pro rata to all our shareholders, as discussed above) will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends received by a noncorporate U.S. Holder in taxable years before January 1, 2013 with respect to the ADSs will be subject to taxation at a maximum rate of 15% if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Dividends paid on the ADSs will be treated as qualified dividends if:

 

   

the ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States; and

 

179


Table of Contents
   

we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a PFIC.

The 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. Because our common shares are not expected to be listed on any U.S. securities market, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends received with respect to our common shares (including dividends received by a noncorporate U.S. 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 U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability or for deduction in computing such U.S. Holder’s U.S. 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 “—Taxation—Chilean Taxation—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 common shares will generally constitute foreign source “passive income.” U.S. 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. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisers with regard to the availability of foreign tax credits and the application of the foreign tax credit limitations in light of their particular circumstances.

U.S. Holders that receive distributions of additional common shares or rights to subscribe for common shares as part of a pro rata distribution to all our shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of the distributions.

Taxation of Capital Gains or Losses

If you are a U.S. Holder, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of ADSs or common shares, generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the ADSs or common shares have been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a noncorporate U.S. Holder generally is subject to preferential tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on such a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Accordingly, in the case of a disposition of common shares (which, unlike a disposition of ADSs, could be taxable in Chile), a U.S. Holder may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Chilean tax imposed on the disposition of the common shares (see “—Taxation—Chilean Taxation—Capital Gains”) 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 U.S. Holder that elects to deduct foreign income taxes, the availability of deductions, involves the application of complex rules that depend on a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. U.S. Holders are encouraged to 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 situation.

Deposits and withdrawals of common shares by U.S. Holders in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

Given the nature of its business, LAN is exposed mainly to three market risks:

 

   

Jet fuel price fluctuations;

 

   

Interest rate fluctuations; and

 

   

Exchange rate fluctuations.

The level of exposure to these risks is periodically assessed to determine the extent to which LAN should hedge against them and the most effective mechanisms to implement the hedge. LAN purchases derivative instruments in foreign markets to offset market risk exposure, typically utilizing a mixture of call options, collar structures and fixed price swaps agreements. LAN does not hold derivative contracts for trading purposes.

Risk of Fluctuations in Jet Fuel Prices

Jet fuel price fluctuations are largely dependent on supply and demand for crude oil, OPEC decisions, refinery capacities, stock levels of crude oil and geopolitical factors. In order to minimize the risk of jet fuel price fluctuations, LAN hedges against such risk using derivative instruments.

Because jet fuel is not traded in organized futures exchanges, there are limited options to hedge against jet fuel price fluctuations. However, LAN deems financial derivative instruments in other commodities such as crude oil or heating oil, useful for decreasing its exposure to jet fuel price increases.

LAN uses swaps, calls and collars to hedge against fuel prices fluctuations. Swap contracts allow us to eliminate the volatility risk by fixing the price. In a typical swap contract, LAN is compensated if the market price is above the fixed price at certain predetermined dates or needs to make disbursements if the market price is below the fixed price in those dates. Call options give us protection against rise in prices. Call option are only exercised when the market price is above the predetermined strike price thus providing LAN with protection with no downside risk. Collars are a combination of call and put options that limit the range of possible positive or negative outcomes to a specific price range. Above the predetermined ceiling price, LAN is compensated for the difference between the market price and the ceiling price. For any price below the predetermined floor price, LAN has to disburse the difference between the market price and the floor price.

We are exposed to fuel hedging transaction losses if the counterparties default. To manage this credit risk, we select counterparties based on their credit ratings and monitor our relative market position on a daily basis. For more information see “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Operations and the Airline Industry—Our operations are subject to fluctuations in the supply and cost of jet fuel which could materially impact our business” .

During 2011, 2010 and 2009 we entered into a mix of swaps, calls, zero cost collars and collars option contracts on WTI with investment banks and other financial entities for notional fuel purchases. In 2011, 397.8 million gallons were purchased, which represented 69.8% of our total annual fuel consumption; in 2010, 282.7 million gallons were purchased, which represented 55.5% of our fuel consumption; and in 2009, 205.2 million gallons were purchased, which represented 45.7% of our total fuel consumption. The combined result of these contracts was a gain of US$39.9 million in 2011, compared to a gain of US$1 million in 2010 and a loss of US$128.7 million in 2009. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of our outstanding fuel related derivative contracts was estimated to be US$30.6 million (asset).

 

     Fair value by quarter, as of December 31, 2011

     (in US$ millions)
Fair value of outstanding fuel derivative contracts    10.5    12.5    7.6    30.6

Gains and losses on the hedging contracts outlined above are recognized as a cost of sales in the income statement when the fuel subject to the hedge is consumed. Premiums paid related to fuel derivative contracts are recorded as prepaid expenses (current assets) and amortized over the respective contract periods.

Under IFRS, the fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as a non-current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the item hedged is over 12 months, and as a current asset or liability if the remaining term of the item hedged is less than 12 months. The fair value of the derivative contracts is deferred within an equity reserve account. Please see Note 2.10 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Sensitivity analysis

In order to protect the Company from increases in fuel prices, a portion of the fuel consumption is hedged using a mixture of protective instruments (call, collars) and fixing instruments (swaps). To keep the Company competitive, a portion of the fuel consumption is not hedged, as a drop in fuel prices affects the Company through a reduction in costs.

As the current positions do not represent changes in cash flows but a variation in the exposure to the market value, the Company’s current hedge positions have no impact on income (they are booked as cash flow hedge contracts, so a variation in fuel prices has an impact on the Company’s net equity).

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments reflecting reasonable changes in fuel prices and their effect on equity. The term used for the projection was December 31, 2012, the final date of the last current fuel hedge contract. The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$5 per barrel in the curve of the WTI crude futures benchmark price at the end of December 2011, 2010 and 2009.

The Company seeks to reduce the risk of increases in fuel price in order to maintain its competitivity, therefore hedging instruments like swaps, options and collars are used to partially hedge against these fuel price fluctuations.

During the periods presented, the Company has not recorded amounts for ineffectiveness in the consolidated income statement pursuant to IAS 39 (IFRS principles for recognizing and measuring financial instruments).

Given the fuel hedge structure as of December 31, 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 savings of approximately US$42.5 million in the cost of the Company’s total fuel consumption. A vertical increase by US$5 in the WTI benchmark price (the monthly daily average) for each month would have meant an additional cost of approximately US$39.5 million of the Company’s total fuel consumption.

Risk of Fluctuations in Interest Rates

As of December 31, 2011, LAN’s debt amounted to US$3,516 million in interest bearing loans. LAN uses swaps and caps to reduce the impact of an increase of interest rates. As of December 31, 2011, 82% of our outstanding debt was effectively at fixed rate either as fixed rate loans or variable rate loans hedged using a floating to fix rate derivative instrument.

Given the percentage of our outstanding debt that is hedged and the instruments that we use to hedge, an increase in interest rates has no material impact on LAN’s costs. Under an interest rate swap contract, given the case of decreases in interest rates, LAN has to pay compensation equal to the difference between the fixed and floating rate times the outstanding debt under the specific contract. However, under such contracts the interest rate has a floor preventing LAN from incurring major financial losses.

In May 2001, we entered into six swap contracts in order to hedge our floating rate-exposure on US$331 million of our debt. Pursuant to these contracts, we pay or receive, depending on the case, the difference between the agreed fixed rate and the floating rate, calculated on the notional amount of each contract. In October 2005, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of two Airbus A319 aircraft delivered in 2005.

In July 2003, we purchased four interest rate cap contracts for a total notional amount of US$127.7 million. These caps are intended to limit the Company’s exposure arising from variable-rate debt. These contracts qualify as cash flow hedges with no ineffectiveness associated to them due to the fact that all critical terms of the debt and the caps match perfectly. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of these contracts has been estimated at US$9.7 thousand.

The premiums paid on the cap were allocated to individual caplets and recognized in the income statement throughout the term of each contract. Under IAS 39 these derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges even though some ineffectiveness exists as the notional amount over which some caps are calculated is different from the one used to determine the interest and lease payments on the aircraft. For IFRS purposes, there was no amount of ineffectiveness recorded in earnings because the change in fair value of the perfect hypothetical option was greater than the change in the fair value of the Company’s option.

In the first half of 2006, the Company also entered into ten fixed-floating interest rate swap contracts in order to hedge the variable interest payments on the unhedged portion of existing debt of approximately US$46.7 million. Additionally, in May 2006 the Company entered into thirty-two forward starting interest rate swap contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of thirty-two A320-Family Aircraft to be delivered between 2006 and 2009. Out of these thirty-two contracts, twenty-five were contracted directly with the debt provider, while the remaining seven swaps were contracted with a different institution. In 2009 all of the thirty-two aircraft were delivered to the Company. Out of the thirty-two abovementioned contracts, twenty-five were converted into fixed interest rate debt.

In June 2006 the Company entered into eleven forward starting interest rate swap contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of 11 Boeing 767-300 ER aircraft to be delivered between 2006 and 2009. All of those aircraft have already been delivered to the Company, and the corresponding swap and loan were restructured into fixed rate debt.

Table of Contents

In August 2007 the Company entered into three forward starting interest rate swaps contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the debt financing of three Boeing 767-300 ER aircraft to be delivered in 2009. This debt allows for conversion of the variable interest rate loan into fixed interest rate debt by capital markets financing after the arrival of the aircraft. As of December 31, 2011, the three aircraft had been delivered to the Company. The first aircraft was refinanced through a fixed interest rate bond issued in December 2009, the second was refinanced through a fixed interest rate bond issued in June 2010 and the third was refinanced through a fixed interest rate bond issued in April 2010. In September 2007, the Company entered into another three forward starting interest rate swaps contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of three Airbus A320-Family Aircraft to be delivered in 2010.

In June 2008, the Company entered into 14 forward starting interest rate swaps contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of 12 A320-Family Aircraft that were delivered in 2010 and 2011, two Boeing 767-300 aircraft that were delivered in 2011 and two Boeing 787-8 to be delivered in 2012.

As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of all the aforementioned interest rate swaps was estimated to be a negative US$159.4 million.

Under IFRS, the positive fair value of these interest rate swaps is reflected in the balance sheet as hedging assets and the negative fair value of these agreements is reflected as hedging liabilities.

The utilization of the aforementioned hedging instruments, combined with fixed interest rate financing for two Boeing 767-300 F aircraft delivered in 2001, 17 Boeing 767-300 Passenger and Freighter aircraft delivered in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 32 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft delivered in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, has enabled the Company to have a predictable interest rate costs, reducing the cash volatility. As of December 2011, the average interest rate of our entire outstanding interest-bearing long-term debt rate was 4.5%.

The following table summarizes our principal payment obligations on our interest-bearing long-term debt and capital leases as of December 31, 2011 and the related average interest rates. The average interest rates for U.S. dollar liabilities are calculated based on the prevailing interest rate on December 31, 2011 for each loan.

Changes in market conditions produce a change in the valuation of current financial instruments hedging against fluctuations in 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 vertically increasing (decreasing) 100 basis points of the three-month Libor futures curve.

There are market-related limitations in the method used for the sensitivity analysis. These limitations derive from the fact that the levels indicated by the futures curves may not be necessarily met and may change in each period.

Risk of Variation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

LAN sells most of its services in U.S. dollars (or prices equivalent to the U.S. dollar), and a large part of its expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars (or its equivalents), particularly fuel costs, aeronautic charges, aircraft leases, insurance and aircraft components and accessories. Of the Total expenses, the main item denominated in local currencies is Remunerations. During 2011, 78% of our operating revenues and 53% of our operating expenses were denominated in U.S. dollars. However, because we conduct business in local currencies in several countries, we face the risk of variations in foreign currency exchange rates. A depreciation of the Chilean peso, the Brazilian real, the Argentine peso, the Mexican peso, the Peruvian nuevo sol, the Venezuelan bolivar or the euro against the U.S. dollar could have an adverse effect on us as part of our revenues and receivables are denominated in those currencies. LAN has entered into currency forward contracts in order to convert its deposit in Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2011 we had foreign exchange forward contracts for a notional amount of US$110 million with a market negative value of US$0.3 million.

During the first half of 2009, the Company entered into cross currency swaps for a notional amount of US$ 171 million, in order to hedge significant variation of the cash flows associated to the current interest rate and the dolar-peso exchange rate of the bank loan. As of December 31, 2011 these contracts ceased to exist.

ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

A. Debt Securities

Not applicable.

B. Warrants and Rights

Not applicable.

C. Other Securities

Not applicable.

D. American Depositary Shares

In the United States, our common shares trade in the form of ADS. Since August 2007, each ADS represents one common share, issued by The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary pursuant to a Deposit Agreement. ADSs commenced trading on the NYSE in 1997. In October 2011 our Depositary bank changed from The Bank of New York Mellon to JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JP Morgan”).

Fees and Charges for ADR Holders

The Bank of New York Mellon, and since October 2011 JP Morgan, as depositary, collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of the distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may also collect its annual fee for depositary services by deductions from cash distributions, by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

 

Persons depositing or withdrawing shares must pay:    For:
US$5.00 (or less) per 100 ADSs (or portion of 100 ADSs)   

Ÿ

   Issuance of ADSs, including issuances resulting from a distribution of shares or rights or other property
  

Ÿ

   Cancellation of ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal, including if the deposit agreement terminates
US$.02 (or less) per ADS    Ÿ    Any cash distribution to ADS registered holders
A fee equivalent to the fee that would be payable if securities distributed had been shares and the shares had been deposited for issuance of ADSs    Ÿ    Distribution of securities distributed to holders of deposited securities which are distributed by the depositary to ADS registered holders
US$.02 (or less) per ADSs per calendar year    Ÿ    Depositary services
Registration or transfer fees    Ÿ    Transfer and registration of shares on the depositary’s share register to or from the name of the depositary or its agent when investors deposit or withdraw shares
Expenses of the depositary    Ÿ    Cable, telex and facsimile transmissions
   Ÿ   

Conversion of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars

Taxes and other governmental charges the depositary or the custodian have to pay on any ADS or share underlying an ADS, such as stock transfer taxes, stamp duty or withholding taxes    Ÿ    As necessary
Any charges incurred by the depositary or its agents for servicing the deposited securities    Ÿ    As necessary

Fees and Direct and Indirect Payments Made by the Depositary to the Foreign Issuer

Past Fees and Payments

During 2011, the Company received from the depositary $766,020 for continuing annual stock exchange listing fees, standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs (consisting of the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. Federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile, and telephone calls), payments related to applicable performance indicators relating to the ADR facility, underwriting fees and legal fees.

Future Fees and Payments

JP Morgan, as the new depositary bank, has agreed to reimburse the Company for certain of our reasonable expenses related to our ADS program and incur by us in connection with the program. The reimbursements include direct payments (legal and accounting fees incurred in connection with preparation of Form 20-F and ongoing SEC compliance and listing requirements, listing fees, investor relations expenses, advertising and public relations expenses and fees payable to service providers for the distribution of hard copy materials to beneficial ADR holders in the Depositary Trust Company, such as information related to shareholders’ meetings and related voting instruction cards); and indirect payments (third-party expenses paid directly and fees waived).

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2011, were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

The management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Lan Airlines’ management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on the criteria established in Internal Control - “Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and, based on such criteria, Lan Airlines’ management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting effectiveness as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores, Auditores y Companía Limitada, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included herein.

ITEM 16. RESERVED

A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Our Board of Directors has designated Jorge Awad Mehech, as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of this Item 16A. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Directors”.

B. CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a code of ethics and conduct, as defined in Item 16B of Form 20-F under the Exchange Act. Our code of ethics applies to our senior management, including our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and our chief accounting officer, as well as to other employees. Our code is freely available online at our website, www.lan.com, under the heading “Corporate Governance” in the Investor Relations page. In addition, upon written request, by regular mail, to the following address: Lan Airlines S.A., Investor Relations Department, attention: Investor Relations, Av. Presidente Riesco 5711, Piso 20, Comuna Las Condes, Santiago, Chile, or by e-mail at investor.relations@lan.com, we will provide any person with a copy of it without charge. If we amend the provisions of our code of ethics that apply to our senior management or to other persons performing similar functions, or if we grant any waiver of such provisions, we will disclose such amendment or waiver on our website.

C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table sets forth the fees billed to us by our independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011:

 

     2011      2010      2009  

Audit fees

     1,823.0         1,478.0         1,431.4

Audit-related fees in the above table are fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers for due diligence and other audit related services.

Other fees in the above table are fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers primarily for training services in IFRS. During 2011 these fees increased due to additional services related to the preparation of the F4 Form, proformas, and others.

Board of Directors’ Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Since January 2004, LAN complies with the SEC regulation regarding what type of additional services PricewaterhouseCoopers is authorized to offer to us. In addition to this, our Board of Directors’ Committee decided to automatically authorize those accepted services for an amount of up to 10% of the fees charged by the auditing firm, and for an amount of up to 50% when adding all those services together. In case the amount is larger than that, then it will need the approval of the Board of Directors’ Committee.

G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Comparison

Pursuant to Section 303A.11 of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE, we are required to provide a summary of the significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those required for U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards. We are a Chilean corporation with shares listed on the SSE, the Chilean Electronic Exchange and the Valparaiso Stock Exchange and ADSs on the NYSE. Our corporate governance practices are governed by our bylaws, the Chilean Corporation Law and the Securities Market Law.

The table below discloses the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE standards.

 

NYSE Standards    Our Corporate Governance Practice
Director Independence. Majority of board of directors must be independent. §303A.01    Under Chilean law, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors on our board.
   Our board of directors’ committee (all of whom are members of our board of directors) is composed of three directors, two of whom must be independent if we have a sufficient number of independent directors on our board.
   The definition of independence applicable to us pursuant to the Chilean Corporation Law differs in certain respects from the definition applicable to U.S. issuers under the NYSE rules.
  

Pursuant to Law No. 20,382 on Corporate Governance, which came into effect on January 1, 2010, we are also required to have at least one independent director.

 

Until January 1, 2010, under the Chilean Corporation Law, a director was deemed to be independent if such member would have been elected as a Director at the Shareholders Meeting after excluding the votes of any controlling shareholder or party related to it.

Table of Contents
NYSE Standards    Our Corporate Governance Practice
   Starting on January 1, 2010, directors are deemed to be independent if they have not fallen within any of the following categories during the 18 months prior to their election: (i) had a relevant relationship, interest or dependence on us, our subsidiaries, controlling shareholders, main executives, or had served any of the foregoing in a senior position; (ii) had a close family relationship with any of the individuals indicated in (i); (iii) had served in a non-profit organization which received significant funds from the individuals indicated in (i); (iv) had been a partner or shareholder (with a direct or indirect participation in excess of 10%) in, or had a senior position at a company which has rendered significant services to, the individuals indicated in (i); (v) had been a partner or shareholder (with a direct or indirect participation in excess of 10%) in, or had a senior position at, our main competitors, suppliers or clients. In addition, the election of such an independent director is subject to a procedure set forth by the cited Corporation Law.
Executive Sessions. Non-management directors must meet regularly in executive sessions without management. Independent directors should meet alone in an executive session at least once a year. §303A.03    There is no similar requirement under our bylaws or under applicable Chilean law.
Audit committee. Audit committee satisfying the independence and other requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, as amended, and the more stringent requirements under the NYSE standards is required. §§303A.06, 303A.07    We are in compliance with Rule 10A-3. We are not required to satisfy the NYSE independence and other audit committee standards that are not prescribed by Rule 10A-3.
Nominating/corporate governance committee. Nominating/corporate governance committee of independent directors is required. The committee must have a charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. § 303A.04    We are not required to have, and do not have, a nominating/corporate governance committee.
Compensation committee. Compensation committee of independent directors is required, which must approve executive officer compensation. The committee must have a charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. §303A.05    We are not required to have a compensation committee. Pursuant to the Chilean Corporation Law, our board of directors’ committee must approve our senior management and employee’s compensation.
Equity compensation plans. Equity compensation plans require shareholder approval, subject to limited exemptions.    Under the Chilean Corporation Law, equity compensation plans require shareholder approval.
Code of Ethics. Corporate governance guidelines and a code of business conduct and ethics is required, with disclosure of any waiver for directors or executive officers. §303A.10    We have adopted a code of ethics and conduct applicable to our senior management, including our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and our chief accounting officer, as well as to other employees. Our code is freely available online at our website, www.lan.com, under the heading “Corporate

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Lan Airlines’ management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on the criteria established in Internal Control—“Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and, based on such criteria, Lan Airlines’ management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The company’s internal control over financial reporting effectiveness as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores, Auditores y Companía Limitada, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Lan Airlines S.A.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lan Airlines S.A. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

LAN AIRLINES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011

NOTE 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

Lan Airlines S.A. (the “Company” or “LAN”) is a public company registered with the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (SVS), under No.306, whose shares are quoted in Chile on the Valparaíso Stock Exchange, the Chilean Electronic Exchange and the Santiago Stock Exchange; it is also quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). Its principal business is passenger and cargo air transportation, both in the domestic markets of Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador and a series of regional and international routes in America, Europe and Oceania. These businesses are performed directly or through its subsidiaries in different countries. In addition, the Company has subsidiaries operating in the freight business in Mexico, Brazil and Colombia.

On August 13, 2010, LAN Airlines S.A. and TAM S.A. (TAM) announced they have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in which the companies agree to proceed with their intention of carrying out their operations jointly under one parent company, to be named LATAM Airlines Group. The proposed partnership of LAN with TAM would be within the world’s 10 largest airline groups. LATAM will provide transport services for passengers and cargo to more than 115 destinations in 23 countries, operating with a fleet of over 300 aircraft, with over 40,000 employees. Both airlines will continue operating independently with their current operating licenses and brands. Within the group, TAM will continue operating as a Brazilian company with its own structure. The current holding of LAN Airlines S.A. will operate as an independent business unit within the group. On October 20, 2010, LAN and TAM announced that the operating subsidiaries of TAM had presented the structure of the transaction to the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), which was approved by this agency on March 1, 2011.

On January 18, 2011 the parties of the MOU (1) and Mrs. Maria Cláudia Oliveira Amaro, Maurício Rolim Amaro, Noemy Almeida Olivera Amaro and Joao Francisco Amaro (“Amaro Family”), as the only shareholders of TEP, signed (a) an Implementation Agreement and (b) a binding Exchange Offer Agreement (“Contracts Signed”) containing the final terms and conditions of the proposed partnership between LAN and TAM.

(1) On August 13, 2010 LAN reported as a significant matter to the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance that LAN, Costa Verde Aeronáutica S.A. and Inversiones Mineras del Cantábrico S.A. (the last two, “Cueto subsidiaries”), TAM S.A. (“TAM”) and TAM Empreendimentos e Participacoes S.A. (“TEP”) signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) for which the primary terms were outlined.

On September 21, 2011, the Court of Defense of Free Competition (“TDLC”) approved the merger between LAN and TAM, establishing fourteen mitigation measures. On October 3, 2011, LAN and TAM filed an appeal to the Supreme Court objecting three of the mitigation measures.

On December 21, 2011, the Board of LAN cited a special meeting of shareholders, citation was performed November 11, 2011, in which LAN shareholders approved, among others, the following matters:

(a) The merger of LAN with Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A. and companies (the “Absorbed Companies”), two companies specially constituted for the purpose of the association between LAN and TAM;

(b)The change of name and the other transactions contemplated in contracts.

2.2. Consolidation

(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 arises from 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.

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 its holding in it, including any other non guaranteed account receivable, Lan Airlines S.A. and Subsidiaries will not show the additional losses unless it has 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.

2.3. Foreign currency transactions

(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 presentation currency 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 presentation currency are translated to the presentation currency 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 income statement 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 closing exchange rate.

 

2.4. Property, plant and equipment

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.

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

 

F-1-14


Table of Contents

LOGO

 

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 results 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 are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, once per 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.

 

2.5. Intangible assets

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 have met all the criteria for capitalization. The direct costs include the expenses of the personnel who develop the computer software and other costs directly associated.

Development costs of computer software shown as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

 

2.6. Goodwill

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 acquisition 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.

 

2.7. Borrowing costs

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.

 

2.8. Losses for impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible 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

 

F-1-15


Table of Contents

LOGO

 

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 per year to check that there has been no reversal of the loss.

 

2.9. Financial assets

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 transaction.

(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 which have been designated as at fair value through profit or loss in their initial classification. 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 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 rate method. Held to maturity investments are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate.

 

F-1-16

At the date of each consolidated statement of financial position, the Company assesses if there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may have suffered an impairment loss. For 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.

 

2.10.   Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

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 an other 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 in the case that their remaining maturity is less than 12 months and non-current in the case that it is more than 12 months.

(a) Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives 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 the 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 the statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to results within financial costs at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.

For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in the statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to results under the line item Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.

 

F-1-17


Table of Contents

LOGO

 

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 the statement of other comprehensive income until that moment remains in the 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 the statement of other comprehensive income is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income as Other gains (losses).

(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

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 necessary to make the sale.

 

2.12.   Trade and other accounts receivable

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 loss 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 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.

 

2.13.   Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, time deposits in financial institutions, and other short-term and easily liquidated investments.

 

2.14.   Capital

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.

 

2.15.   Trade and other accounts payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost and are valued according to the method of the effective interest rate.

2.16.   Interest-bearing loans

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.

 

2.17.   Deferred taxes

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 recognised when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax earnings with which to compensate the temporary differences.

The Company does not record deferred tax on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, provided that the opportunity to reverse the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

2.18.   Employee benefits

(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 applying the method of the actuarial value of the accrued cost, and 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 year when they occur.

(d) Incentives

The Company has an annual incentives 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

Provisions are recognised when:

 

(i) The Company has a present 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 consolidated financial statements, time value of money, as well as the specific risks related to the liability in question.

 

2.20.   Revenue recognition

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

 

  (i) Passenger and cargo transport

The Company shows revenue from the transportation of passengers and cargo once the service has been provided.

 

  (ii) Frequent flyer program

The Company currently has a frequent flyer program called Lan Pass, whose objective is customer loyalty through the delivery of kilometers fly with the Company or its alliance partners in certain flights, 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.

 

  (iii) 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.   Leases

(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 Other financial liabilities. The element of interest in the financial cost is charged to 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 year. The asset acquired under a financial lease is depreciated over its useful life and is included in Property, plant and equipment.

(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.

 

2.22.   Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as assets held for sale are shown at the lesser of their book value and the fair value less costs to sell.

 

2.23.   Maintenance

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 in terms of cycles and flight hours.

The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.

 

2.24.  Environmental costs

Disbursements related to environmental protection are charged to results when incurred.

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

3.1. Financial risk factors

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.

 

F-1-21

(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 of 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 Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), global refining capacity, stock levels maintained, and 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 have a high correlation with Jet Fuel and are highly liquid assets and therefore have advantages in comparison to the use of the U.S. Gulf Coast Jet 54 index.

During 2011, the Company booked gains of US$ 39.9 million on fuel hedging. During 2010, the Company recognized gains of US$ 1.0 million for the same reason.

At December 31, 2011, the market value of its fuel positions amounted to US$ 30.6 million (positive). At December 31, 2010, this market value was US$ 45.8 million (positive). The following tables show the notional value of the purchase positions together with the derivatives contracted for the different years:

Sensitivity analysis

A drop in fuel price positively affects the Company through a reduction in costs. However, this drop also negatively affects contracted positions as these are acquired to protect the Company against the risk of a rise in price. The policy therefore is to maintain a hedge-free percentage in order to be competitive in the event of a drop in price.

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 the third quarter of 2012. The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$ 5 per barrel in the curve of the WTI crude futures benchmark price at December 31, 2011 and the end of December 31, 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 the requirements of IAS 39, during the presented years, the Company has not recorded amounts for ineffectiveness in the consolidated income statement.

Given the fuel hedge structure during 2011, which considers a hedge-free portion, a vertical fall by US$ 5 in the WTI benchmark price (the monthly daily average), would have meant a decrease of approximately US$ 42.5 million in the cost of total fuel consumption for the same period. For the same year, a vertical rise by US$ 5 in the WTI benchmark price (the monthly daily average) would have meant an impact of approximately US$ 39.5 million of increased fuel costs for the same period.

(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 in periods 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.

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 with variable interest rates.

 

F-1-23


Table of Contents

LOGO

 

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 82% of its exposure to interest-rate fluctuations. The Company is therefore exposed to a small portion of the fluctuations in the 90 days, 180 days and 360 days London Inter Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR).

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 because the levels indicated by the futures curves are not necessarily met and will change in each year.

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 39, during the year 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 statement of financial position and effects on its operating income. The Company 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, aeronautic 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 US dollar. 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), 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 their debt, they are 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, which 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

 

F-1-25


Table of Contents

LOGO

 

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.

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. The Company’s 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 December 31, 2011, the Company had provided US$ 117.2 million in guarantees for cash and stand-by letters of credit. The increase was due to the maturity and acquisition of fuel and interest rate contracts, rising fuel prices and falling interest rates.

 

3.2. Capital risk management

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 of 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 December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, were as follows:

3.3. Estimates of fair value

At December 31, 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

Private investment funds.

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 calculated through valuation methods 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 year 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 year end.

The following table shows the classification of financial instruments at fair value at December 31, 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 accounts payable, non-current, 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, the valuation was performed according to market prices at year end.

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The Company has used estimates to value and book some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments; these relate principally to:

 

(a) The evaluation of possible impairment losses for certain assets.

 

(b) The useful lives and residual values of fixed and intangible assets.

 

(c) The criteria employed in the valuation of certain assets.

 

(d) Air tickets sold that are not actually used.

 

(e) The calculation of deferred income at the year end, corresponding to the valuation of kilometers credited to holders of the Lan Pass loyalty card which have not yet been used.

 

(f) The need for provisions and where required, the determination of their values.

 

(g) The recoverability of deferred tax assets.

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 modification of the estimates in the future, in which case the effects would be accounted for prospectively.

The Company records allowances when there is evidence of impairment of trade receivables. The criteria used to determine that there is objective evidence of impairment losses are the maturity of the portfolio, specific acts of damage (default) and specific market signals.

The movement in the allowance for impairment loss of trade accounts and other accounts receivables between January 01, 2010 and December 31, 2011 is as follows:

Once pre-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 to 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 year is shown in the consolidated statement of income in administrative expenses. The accumulated amortization of computer programs as of December 31, 2011 amounts to ThUS$ 48,362 (ThUS$ 38,692 as of December 31, 2010). The accumulated amortization of other identifiable intangible assets as of December 31, 2011 amounts to ThUS$ 404 (ThUS$ 242 as of December 31, 2010).

NOTE 17 – GOODWILL

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 December 31, 2011 amounted to ThUS$ 163,777 (ThUS$ 157,994 at December 31, 2010)

At December 31, 2011, the Company performed an impairment test based on the value in use and no impairment was identified. The testing is done at least once per 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.

Commitments for the acquisition of aircraft

     14,500,000         12,350,000   

In December 2009, the Company signed a purchase commitment with Airbus for the purchase of 30 aircraft of the A320 family with deliveries between 2011 and 2016. Later, in December 2010 the Company made another commitment to the manufacturer for the purchase of 50 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 with deliveries between 2017 and 2018.

With regards to the above, as of December 31, 2011, and as a result of different aircraft purchase contracts signed with Airbus S.A.S., there remain 90 Airbus aircraft of the A320 family to be delivered between 2012 and 2018. The approximate amount is ThUS$ 7,000,000, according to the manufacturer’s price list. Additionally, the Company has active purchase options for 4 A320 NEO aircraft.

In addition, purchase contracts were signed with The Boeing Company in February, May and December 2011 for 3, 5 and 2 B767-300 aircraft, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011 and a as result of different aircraft contracts signed with The Boeing Company, 13 B767-300 aircraft remain to be delivered between 2012 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$ 7,500,000, 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 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 third quarter of 2011 the Company sold the last 2 aircraft planned to be sold during 2011, thus completing the planned sale of 5 aircraft this year.

All interest-bearing liabilities are recorded using the effective interest rate method. Under IFRS, the effective interest rate for loans with a fixed interest rate does not vary throughout the loan, while in the case of loans with variable interest rates, the effective rate changes on each date of repricing of the loan.

Currency balances that make the interest bearing loans at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are as follows:

(2) Covers the significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes in the 3-month LIBOR interest rate for long-term loans incurred in the acquisition of aircraft. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges.
(3) Covers the significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the increases in the 3, 6 and 12 months LIBOR interest rates for long-term loans incurred in the acquisition of aircraft and bank loans. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges.
(4) Covers the significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes in the TAB 180 days interest rate and the US dollar-Chilean peso exchange rate. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges.
(5) Covers significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes in the price of future fuel purchases.
(6) Covers the significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes in the price of future fuel purchases.
(7) Covers investments denominated in Chilean pesos to changes in the US Dollar – Chilean Peso exchange rate, with the aim of ensuring investment in dollars.

During the years presented, the Company only maintains cash flow hedges. In the case of fuel hedges, the cash flows subject to said hedges will impact results between 1 to 9 months from the consolidated statement of financial position date, whereas in the case of interest rate hedging, the hedges will impact results over the life of the related loans, which are valid for 12 years. With respect to interest and currency hedges, the impact on results will occur continuously throughout the life of the contract (3 years), while cash flows will occur quarterly. Finally, the hedges on investments will impact results continuously throughout the life of the investment (up to 3 months), while the cash flows occur at the maturity of the investment.

During the years presented, all hedged highly probable forecast transactions have occurred.

During the years 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 brought 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 significant matter report dated December 27, 2007. The U.S.A. portion of the global investigation concluded when Lan Cargo S.A. and its subsidiary, Aerolíneas Brasileiras S.A. (“ABSA”) signed a Plea Agreement with the U.S.A. Department of Justice, as disclosed in a significant matter report 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 Euros) 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 Euros) 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 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, 2011, the provision reached the amount of ThUS$ 10,675 (ThUS$ 10,916 at December 30, 2010)

(d.1) Currency translation reserve

These originate from exchange differences arising from the translation of any investment in foreign entities (or Chilean investment 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 year 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.

During the last quarter of 2009, the original terms of the plan were amended regarding subscription and payment of 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, which are related to the permanence of the executive on those dates for exercising the options:

Period

30%    From October 29, 2010 until March 31, 2012
70%    From October 30, 2011 until March 31, 2012

These options have been valued and booked at their fair value on the grant date, determined using the “Black-Scholes-Merton” method.

All options expire on March 31, 2012.

Judgement against Variglog

TRANSITORY ARTICLES

Transitory Article First: The capital of the Company is US$1,948,953,009.66, divided into 488,355,882 shares in one single series, with no par value, which has been and will be subscribed and paid as follows:

 

(One)    The sum of US$472,482,439.59, divided into 340,232,861 shares, fully subscribed and paid in prior to this date.
(Two)    The sum of US$11,097,599.98, divided into 767,139 shares to be subscribed and paid on account of the capital increase approved at the Special Shareholders Meeting of the Company held April 5, 2007. These shares are allocated to compensation plans for the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as provided in Article 24 of the Companies Law. The Board was fully authorized to create and implement the stock option plans in one or several stages. These shares must be subscribed and paid for at a price of US$14.50 per share, adjustable by the change in the CPI—i.e., the Consumer Price Index published monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor from November 5, 2009 to the date of subscription and payment of the shares—, payable in pesos at the observed dollar exchange rate on the same date of subscription and payment. This price was set by the Board at Special Meeting 85 held November 5, 2009, within the purview of the resolution adopted by the Company’s Special Shareholders Meeting on October 29, 2009 at which it was delegated the authority to set the final placement price according to the rule in the second subparagraph of Article 28 of the Companies Regulations. The shareholders do not enjoy a right of first refusal in regard to these shares, as

 

10


   provided in the third subparagraph of said Article 24. These shares shall be paid at once, in the act of subscription, in cash, by check, bank check, wire transfer or any other instrument or effect representing money payable upon demand. The maximum term for subscription and payment of these shares expires April 5, 2012; and

(Three)

   The sum of US$1,465,372,970.09, divided into 147,355,882 shares to be subscribed and paid on account of the capital increase approved at the Special Shareholders Meeting of the Company held December 21, 2011.

In regard to this capital increase for an aggregate of US$1,465,372,970.09, represented by said 147,355,882 shares:

 

  (A) a part, totalling US$1,417,639,617.60, represented by 142,555,882 shares, to be exchanged—because of the merger of the Company with Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A. in which these latter two companies will be absorbed by, and incorporated to, the Company (hereinafter also called the “Merger”)—at the rate of 0.9 shares in the Company per share that is fully subscribed and paid in each of the absorbed companies that is owned by shareholders other than shareholders in the Company. Once exchanged as indicated above, these shares will be deemed fully subscribed and paid by the contribution of all assets, liabilities and equity of the absorbed companies incorporated to the Company by the Merger. The shares held by the Company in the absorbed companies at the time the Merger is perfected will become invalid.

By effect of the Merger, the Company, as the absorbing company, will acquire all of the assets and liabilities of the absorbed companies and succeed them in regard to all of their rights and obligations according to Article 99 of the Companies Law. By reason of the Merger, all of the equity and shareholders of the absorbed companies will be incorporated to the Company, as the absorbing company, as well as all of the assets, rights, authorizations, patents, permits, obligations and liabilities thereof. Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A., as the absorbed companies, will be legally dissolved in consequence. Hence, by effect of the Merger and for all pertinent purposes, the Company will be the successor and legal continuer of

 

11


Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A. The Merger is being implemented on the basis of the expert merger report dated December 1, 2011, together with its appendices, prepared by Mr. Enrique Cid Corral, an independent expert, and of the duly audited financial statements of the three companies through September 30, 2011. The Company will keep records of the tax values of the assets and liabilities of the absorbed companies in the same terms as the latter now do, in accordance with Article 64 of the Tax Code, for the purpose of proving compliance with all rules contained in the Income Tax Law, such as depreciation, price-level restatement, the calculation of goodwill at the time of transfer and the other rules that may be applicable. Moreover, as provided in Article 69 of the Tax Code, the Company, as the legal continuer and successor of Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A., will be liable for payment of all taxes that (i) are or may be owed by Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A.; and (ii) are shown in the winding up balance sheets to be presented by the Company to the Internal Revenue Service.

The maximum term for subscription and payment, i.e., for the exchange of such 142,555,882 shares to occur, will expire June 28, 2012. It is stipulated that this period leaves time for the Merger to be materialized since it is subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Agreements contained in Proposal for Agreement 8, approved by the Special Shareholders Meeting of the Company on December 21, 2011.

If there is a balance of such 142,555,882 shares not used after the exchange in the Merger, it will be used to create and implement compensation plans for the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as provided in Article 24 of the Companies Law. For all pertinent purposes, as of the date when use thereof is no longer feasible because of the exchange in the Merger, the issuance, subscription, payment and other pertinent aspects of such unused balance of shares will be governed by the same bylaw as the 4,800,000 shares to which letter (B) below refers. In that case, the maximum term for issuance, subscription and payment shall therefore expire December 21, 2016.

The effective rate will be the rate in effect on the first business day of the calendar quarter in which the advance payment was initially deferred, and will be reset every calendar quarter. Interest on unpaid amounts will be calculated using a 360 day year, and compounded quarterly.

 

6. Assignment.

Any assignment by Customer of any benefits, entitlements, or services described in this Letter Agreement requires Boeing’s prior written consent. Further, Customer will not reveal to any third party the amount of the credit memoranda provided to Customer by Boeing without Boeing’s prior written consent and subject to such circumstances as Boeing may reasonably require.

Boeing will not unreasonably withhold consent to Customer’s request to assign, as security, rights in the Purchase Agreement if done for purposes of obtaining financing or for such other purpose consistent with fulfilling its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Boeing’s consent will be conditioned on all parties accepting Boeing’s customary conditions for consenting to an assignment, including, but not limited to, the following: assignor and assignee indemnification of Boeing for any actions taken by an assignee under any assignment agreement; Boeing’s right to exercise the manufacturer’s option to assume Customer’s rights under the Purchase Agreement in the event of a default under an assignment agreement; and confidentiality. A Party that is

 

  i. bound by a customary confidentiality agreement;

 

  ii. neither an airplane manufacturer nor an airline; and

 

  iii. responding to a Customer request for proposals to provide financing of Aircraft pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, including pre-delivery payment financing

shall be deemed a “Financing Party”.

Without Boeing’s consent, Customer may represent to any Financing Party that Boeing will provide to that Financing Party, concurrently with the delivery of each of the Aircraft to that Financing Party, a financier credit memorandum equal to

(b) Concession ceiling for the freighter aircraft: [***]

escalated to the month of delivery in the same manner as the Airframe Price as described in Supplemental Exhibit AE1 2010$ and in conformance with terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement. Insofar as such Financing Party is concerned, this Financier Credit Memorandum shall be in lieu of any other provision in the Letter Agreement. When the Customer identifies a Financing Party and the preliminary terms of an assignment under which pre-delivery payment financing or aircraft purchase financing could be provided, at Customer’s request, Boeing agrees to enter into discussions with the Customer to consider whether an additional credit memorandum can be assigned, with the goal of helping Customer obtain third-party financing.

Boeing will consent to any reasonable request by Customer to assign the Purchase Agreement to an affiliate provided that Boeing is provided with an adequate guarantee of performance of all obligations under this Purchase Agreement and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Boeing.

Customer understands that Boeing is not required under any circumstances to consent to an assignment that would constitute a novation.

The foregoing provisions are intended to supplement, and not to supersede, the assignment provisions of the AGTA, which address delivery date and post-delivery assignments, merger-type assignments, and other matters.

 

7. Confidentiality.

Boeing and Customer understand that the commercial and financial information contained in this Letter Agreement is considered by the parties as confidential (Confidential Information) and both agree not to disclose such Confidential Information except as provided herein. In addition to the parties’ respective officers, directors and employees who need to know the Confidential Information and who understand the obligation to keep it confidential, the parties may disclose Confidential Information (1) to the extent required by law and (2) to its agents, auditors and advisors who need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of enabling each party to understand, perform its obligations under, or receive the benefits of, this Letter Agreement and who have agreed not to use or disclose the Confidential Information for any other purpose without the other party’s prior written consent.

law, the party will so advise the other party promptly in writing and endeavor to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information to the widest extent possible. In the event of a legal dispute with Boeing, nothing herein will preclude Customer from sharing with its legal counsel information necessary for purposes of enabling counsel to advise or represent Customer provided that so long as Customer causes its legal counsel to maintain the confidentiality of information that is the subject of this Article. Except as provided in the assignment provisions of Article 7 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-KSW-6423 entitled “Special Matters Applicable to the Incremental Aircraft”; Article 21 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-LAJ-0895R6 entitled “Business Considerations”; Article 8 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0381R2 entitled “Special Matters Letter Applicable to the 2011 Accelerated Aircraft”; Article 9 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0412 entitled “Special Matters Relating to Three Aircraft Originally Scheduled to Deliver in 2009”; Article 6 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0450 entitled “Special Matters Letter Applicable to the 2012 Accelerated Aircraft”; and Article 6 herein, Customer will not disclose this Letter Agreement for purposes of financing payments without the prior written consent of Boeing, which consent will be provided once the financier enters into a Non Disclosure Agreement with Boeing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Boeing, which will include agreeing not to disclose or use Confidential Information except for the purpose set forth herein. This provision shall not apply to any Confidential Information that is in the public domain except that a party will be liable to the other for breach of its obligations under this provision if the Confidential Information entered the public domain as a consequence of a wrongful act or omission on its part.

The Purchase Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent herein provided and as amended shall continue in full force and effect.

Reference:   a) Purchase Agreement No. 2126 (Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and LAN Airlines S.A. (Customer) relating to Model 767-316ER, 767-3SEF,and Model 767-316F aircraft (Aircraft).
  b) Letter Agreement 2126-1, “Seller Purchased Equipment”

This letter agreement (Letter Agreement) amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

For purposes of this Letter Agreement “2012 Aircraft” are the 2012 Accelerated Aircraft and the 2012 Additional Aircraft. Reference b) Letter Agreement continues to apply to the SPE equipment for the 2012 Aircraft. The additional terms provided in the Letter Agreement apply only to the Contour seats and the BE Aerospace seats.

 

1. Change in seat suppliers.

1.1 Customer has decided to change seat suppliers to Contour for business class and BE Aerospace for economy class.

1.2 Boeing has agreed to the change in seat suppliers for the 2012 Aircraft and has agreed that the change can be offered as a Seller Purchased Equipment program under certain conditions.

1.2.1 Notwithstanding the waiver language in Article 1, paragraph 2 of Letter Agreement 2126-1, [***].

2. Missed Seat On Dock Dates.

2.1 If the seats miss their on-dock date and the delivery of a 2012 Aircraft is delayed for that reason, Customer is responsible for the storage fee.

2.1.1 Boeing agrees to store the 2012 Aircraft on a short term basis for up to 30 days and Customer agrees to pay Boeing’s storage fee [***].

2.1.2 If the storage is likely to extend beyond 30 days the parties will mutually agree on whether to extend the short term storage by Boeing beyond the initial 30 days or seek long term storage at a facility outside of Boeing.

2.1.3 Boeing agrees to waive the first fourteen days of the short term storage fee.

2.2 In addition, Customer will pay interest to Boeing on the unpaid Aircraft Price as shown on the 2012 Aircraft delivery invoice. For avoidance of doubt this would be the Aircraft Price as defined in paragraph 2.1.8 of AGTA-LAN minus advance payments already paid to Boeing and credit memoranda provided as part of the invoicing documents. Such interest shall accrue from and including the date on which such 2012 Aircraft was scheduled to deliver up to but excluding the date of delivery. The rate used to calculate such interest shall be the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as set forth in the Wall Street Journal, US edition, [***] basis points. The effective rate will be the rate in effect on the first business day of the calendar quarter in which the 2012 Aircraft was scheduled to deliver and will be reset every calendar quarter. Interest on unpaid amounts will be calculated using a 360 day year, and compounded quarterly.

2.2.3 Boeing and Customer understand that the commercial and financial information contained in this Letter Agreement is considered by the parties as confidential (Confidential Information) and both agree not to disclose such Confidential Information except as provided herein.

Boeing will not unreasonably withhold consent to Customer’s request to assign, as security, rights in the Purchase Agreement if done for purposes of obtaining financing or for such other purpose consistent with fulfilling its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Boeing’s consent will be conditioned on all parties accepting Boeing’s customary conditions for consenting to an assignment, including, but not limited to, the following: assignor and assignee indemnification of Boeing for any actions taken by an assignee under any assignment agreement; Boeing’s right to exercise the manufacturer’s option to assume Customer’s rights under the Purchase Agreement in the event of a default under an assignment agreement; and confidentiality. A Party that is

 

  i. bound by a customary confidentiality agreement;

 

  ii. neither an airplane manufacturer nor an airline; and

 

  iii. responding to a Customer request for proposals to provide financing of Aircraft pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, including pre-delivery payment financing

shall be deemed a “Financing Party”.

Without Boeing’s consent, Customer may represent to any Financing Party that Boeing will provide to that Financing Party, concurrently with the delivery of each of the Aircraft to that Financing Party, a financier credit memorandum equal to

 

  (a) Concession ceiling for the passenger aircraft: [***]

 

  (b) Concession ceiling for the freighter aircraft: [***]

escalated to the month of delivery in the same manner as the Airframe Price as described in Supplemental Exhibit AE1 2010$ and in conformance with terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement. Insofar as such Financing Party is concerned, this Financier Credit Memorandum shall be in lieu of any other provision in the Letter Agreement. When the Customer identifies a Financing Party and the preliminary terms of an assignment under which pre-delivery payment financing or aircraft purchase financing could be provided, at Customer’s request, Boeing agrees to enter into discussions with the Customer to consider whether an additional credit memorandum can be assigned, with the goal of helping Customer obtain third-party financing.

Boeing will consent to any reasonable request by Customer to assign the Purchase Agreement to an affiliate provided that Boeing is provided with an adequate guarantee of performance of all obligations under this Purchase Agreement and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Boeing.

Customer understands that Boeing is not required under any circumstances to consent to an assignment that would constitute a novation.

The foregoing provisions are intended to supplement, and not to supersede, the assignment provisions of the AGTA, which address delivery date and post-delivery assignments, merger-type assignments, and other matters.

 

10. Confidentiality.

Boeing and Customer understand that the commercial and financial information contained in this Letter Agreement is considered by the parties as confidential (Confidential Information) and both agree not to disclose such Confidential Information except as provided herein. In addition to the parties’ respective officers, directors and employees who need to know the Confidential Information and who understand the obligation to keep it confidential, the parties may disclose Confidential Information (1) to the extent required by law and (2) to its agents, auditors and advisors who need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of enabling each party to understand, perform its obligations under, or receive the benefits of, this Letter Agreement and who have agreed not to use or disclose the Confidential Information for any other purpose without the other party’s prior written consent. In the event that a party concludes that disclosure of Confidential Information contained in this Letter Agreement is required by applicable law, the party will so advise the other party promptly in writing and endeavor to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information to the widest extent possible. In the event of a legal dispute with Boeing, nothing herein will preclude Customer from sharing with its legal counsel information necessary for purposes of enabling counsel to advise or represent Customer provided that so long as Customer causes its legal counsel to maintain the confidentiality of information that is the subject of this Article. Except as provided in the assignment provisions of Article 7 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-KSW-6423 entitled “Special Matters Applicable to the Incremental Aircraft”; Article 21 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-LAJ-0895R6 entitled “Business Considerations”; Article 8 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0381R2 entitled “Special Matters Letter Applicable to the 2011 Accelerated Aircraft”; Article 9 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0412 entitled “Special Matters Relating to Three Aircraft Originally

Subject:   Option Aircraft
Reference:   Purchase Agreement No. 2126 (Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and LAN  Airlines S.A. (Customer) relating to Model 767-316F, Model 767-38EF and Model 767-316ER aircraft (Aircraft)

This letter agreement (Letter Agreement) amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

 

4. Right to Purchase Option Aircraft.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Letter Agreement, in addition to the 2013 Aircraft, Customer will have the option to purchase additional Model 767-316ER aircraft as option aircraft (Option Aircraft).

 

5. Delivery.

The number of aircraft and delivery quarters are listed in Attachment 1 to this Letter Agreement. The delivery month within the quarter will be identified at option exercise. Boeing will provide Customer with delivery month information for each aircraft in Attachment 1 to this Letter Agreement [***].

 

6. Configuration.

6.1 Subject to the provisions of Article 3.2, below, the configuration for the Option Aircraft will be the Detail Specification for model 767-316ER aircraft at the revision level in effect at the time of Definitive Agreement. Such Detail Specification will be revised to include (i) changes applicable to the basic Model 767-300ER which are developed by Boeing between the date of the Detail Specification and the signing of the definitive agreement to purchase the Option Aircraft, (ii) changes required to obtain required regulatory certificates, and (iii) other changes as mutually agreed.

6.2 Boeing reserves the right to configure the Option Aircraft starting from a different configuration specification, provided that it can achieve the same configuration which would result pursuant to the provisions of Article 3.1 provided, however, that there is no adverse economic impact for the Customer.

 

7. Price.

7.1 The Airframe Price, Engine Price, Optional Features Prices, and Aircraft Basic Price for each of the Option Aircraft shall be determined in accordance with the

 

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.


LOGO

LAN Airlines S.A.

provisions of the Purchase Agreement using Boeing’s then current prices as of the date of execution of the Definitive Agreement. Since the Option Exercise Date for all Option Aircraft is July 1, 2010, all the Option Aircraft will be priced in 2010 dollars.

7.2 The Airframe Price, Engine Price, Optional Features Prices, and Aircraft Basic Price for each of the Option Aircraft shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms set forth in Article 2.1.5 (Escalation Adjustment) of the AGTA.

7.3 The Advance Payment Base Price shall be developed in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and determined at the time of Definitive Agreement.

 

8. Business Considerations for Option Aircraft.

The Option Aircraft will receive the same business considerations as the 2013 Aircraft which are from Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0451R1 paragraph 4.1 the [***] Table 4.1 Credit Memoranda and from paragraph 4.3 the [***] per Option Aircraft goods and services credit memorandum.

 

9. Payment.

9.1 Customer will pay a non-refundable option deposit to Boeing [***] per Option Aircraft (Option Deposit) on the date of execution of this Letter Agreement. This Option Deposit has been reduced from [***] standard option deposit because Customer has accepted the Boeing Call Rights discussed in paragraph 8 below and the Delivery Flexibility for 2013 Aircraft in paragraph 6 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0451R1. The Option Deposit will be credited against the first advance payment due. If Customer does not exercise an option, Boeing will retain the Option Deposit for that Option Aircraft.

9.2 At Definitive Agreement for the Option Aircraft, advance payments will be payable as specified in the Purchase Agreement. The remainder of the Aircraft Price for the Option Aircraft will be paid at the time of delivery.

9.3 For the avoidance of doubt, if Customer exercises its rights in an Option Aircraft, then Customer may elect a [***] deferred advance payment schedule specified in Article 5.2 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0451R1 entitled “Special Matters Letter Applicable to the 2012 Additional Aircraft and 2013 Aircraft” for each such Option Aircraft.

10. Option Exercise.

10.1 Customer may exercise an option by giving written notice to Boeing on or before the [***]. (Option Exercise Date).

10.2 If Boeing must make production decisions which are dependent on Customer's exercising an option earlier than the Option Exercise Date, Boeing may accelerate the Option Exercise Date and/or the delivery date for the Option Aircraft subject to Customer's agreement. If Boeing and Customer fail to agree to a revised Option Exercise Date and/or delivery date, either party may terminate the option and Boeing will refund to Customer, without interest, any Option Deposit and advance payments, if any, received by Boeing with respect to the terminated Option Aircraft.

 

11. Boeing Call Rights.

11.1 The Option Aircraft delivery dates identified in the Attachment are subject to a call notice by Boeing (Call Options). At any time prior to the Option Exercise Date for such Call Options, Boeing may provide to Customer written notice that such Call Option(s) must be exercised by Customer within thirty (30) days of Boeing’s written notice. Should Customer not exercise its option within such thirty (30) days of Boeing’s written notice, Boeing may terminate the option and refund to Customer, without interest, any deposit and advance payments, if any, received by Boeing with respect to the terminated Option Aircraft.

11.2 Boeing shall only have the right to issue a call notice for the Call Options when it has reason to believe that such delivery positions for such Call Options will be purchased by another customer as a firm sale. In consideration for this call right, the Option Deposit for such Call Options is reduced as reflected in the Attachment.

 

12. Definitive Agreement.

Following Customer’s exercise of an option and Boeing’s confirmation of delivery positions Boeing and Customer will use their best efforts to reach a definitive agreement for the purchase of an Option Aircraft (Definitive Agreement) within sixty (60) calendar days of such exercise. The Definitive Agreement will include the provisions of the

13. Assignment.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the rights and obligations described in this Letter Agreement are provided to Customer in consideration of Customer’s becoming the operator of the 2013 Aircraft and cannot be assigned in whole or, in part.

 

14. Confidential Treatment.

6. The parties agree that Customer will pay interest to Boeing on the difference between the payments made pursuant to the Article 5.1 Deferred Advance Payment Schedule Applicable to the 2012 Additional Aircraft, 2013 Aircraft, and 2013 Additional Aircraft and the amount which would otherwise have been payable to Boeing under the Standard Advance Payment Schedule. Such interest shall accrue from and including the date on which such payments would have been due if there were no deferral up to the but excluding the date on which such amounts are paid in full. The rate used to calculate such interest shall be the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as set forth in The Wall Street Journal, US edition, [***] basis points. The effective rate will be the rate in effect on the first business day of the calendar quarter in which the advance payment was initially deferred, and will be reset every calendar quarter. Interest on unpaid amounts will be calculated using a 360 day year, and compounded quarterly.

 

 

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.


6. Transfer of 767 Option Deposits to the [***] (2013 Additional Aircraft).

The parties agree that [***] Option Deposits for the four (4) Option Aircraft identified in Letter Agreement LA-1103876 to the Purchase Agreement will be applied toward the advance payments due for the two (2) 2013 Additional Aircraft as of the date of execution of this Letter Agreement and concurrent execution of this Supplemental Agreement No. 32 to the Purchase Agreement.

 

7. Transfer of 787-8 advance payments to 2012 Accelerated Aircraft, 2012 Additional Aircraft, 2013 Aircraft and 2013 Additional Aircraft.

7.1 The parties agree that [***] will be transferred from the advance payments already paid by Customer for the Table 2 787-8 aircraft in Purchase Agreement No. 3256 and will be applied toward the Advance Payments due for the updated configuration of the 2012 Accelerated Aircraft and 2012 Additional Aircraft in Table 13 and 2013 Aircraft and 2013 Additional Aircraft in Table 14.

7.2 For avoidance of doubt, Attachment A to this Letter Agreement depicts the Advance Payments due for the 2012 Accelerated Aircraft, 2012 Additional Aircraft, 2013 Aircraft and 2013 Additional Aircraft as of the date of execution of Supplemental Agreement No. 32. This assumes that Customer has elected to defer the Advance Payments for the 2012 Accelerated Aircraft, 2012 Additional Aircraft, 2013 Aircraft and 2013 Additional Aircraft as set forth in Article 5 of this Letter Agreement.

7.3 Therefore, [***] is owed at signing of this SA-32.

 

8. Execution of this Supplemental No. 32 and Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to Purchase Agreement No. 3256.

The parties further agree to execute Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to Purchase Agreement No. 3256 within thirty (30) days of execution of this Supplement Agreement No. 32 to this Purchase Agreement, or as otherwise mutually agreed.

 

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.


9. Deferred Advance Payment interest payment for 2013 Additional Aircraft.

In consideration of Customer’s execution of Supplement Agreement No. 3 to Purchase Agreement No. 3256 within thirty (30) days of execution (or as otherwise mutually agreed) of this Supplement Agreement No. 32, [***].

 

10. Delivery Flexibility for 2013 Aircraft.

Boeing reserves the right to accelerate or delay the delivery months [***]. Boeing must exercise the right by providing written notice to Customer on or before eighteen (18) months prior to the delivery month.

 

11. 16G Compliant Seats for the 2012 Additional Aircraft, 2013 Aircraft and 2013 Additional Aircraft.

The parties agree that both the New Configuration and the Alternate Configuration (if selected by the Customer for any of the specified 2013 Aircraft) comply with enacted RIN 2120-AC84, Improved Seats in Air Carrier Transport Category Airplanes. Accordingly, Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0384R2 does not apply to any of the 2012 Accelerated Aircraft, 2012 Additional Aircraft, 2013 Aircraft and 2013 Additional Aircraft.

 

12. SPE Fee Clarification.

The fee charged in Article 1.2.1 of Letter Agreement 1103777 entitled Seller Purchased Equipment (SPE) for 2012 Aircraft shall not apply to the 2013 Aircraft and 2013 Additional Aircraft. For the avoidance of doubt, Boeing will [***] for any of the 2013 Aircraft nor any of the 2013 Additional Aircraft. Customer requested changes to the SPE after execution of this Letter Agreement shall be made by Customer in writing directly to Boeing for approval and for coordination by Boeing with the SPE supplier. Any Customer initiated change to the configuration of the Aircraft shall be subject to price and offerability through Boeing's master change or other process for amendment of the Purchase Agreement including an SPE charge equal to [***] of the SPE cost. Notwithstanding any of the preceding, the parties agree that the aggregate amount [***] without written mutual agreement.

 

13. Assignment.

Any assignment by Customer of any benefits, entitlements, or services described in this Letter Agreement requires Boeing's prior written consent. Further, Customer will not reveal to any third party the amount of the credit memoranda provided to Customer by Boeing without Boeing’s prior written consent and subject to such circumstances as Boeing may reasonably require.

Boeing will not unreasonably withhold consent to Customer’s request to assign, as security, rights in the Purchase Agreement if done for purposes of obtaining financing or for such other purpose consistent with fulfilling its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Boeing’s consent will be conditioned on all parties accepting Boeing’s customary conditions for consenting to an assignment, including, but not

 

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.


limited to, the following: assignor and assignee indemnification of Boeing for any actions taken by an assignee under any assignment agreement; Boeing’s right to exercise the manufacturer’s option to assume Customer’s rights under the Purchase Agreement in the event of a default under an assignment agreement; and confidentiality. A Party that is

 

  i. bound by a customary confidentiality agreement;

 

  ii. neither an airplane manufacturer nor an airline; and

 

  iii. responding to a Customer request for proposals to provide financing of Aircraft pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, including pre-delivery payment financing

shall be deemed a “Financing Party”.

Without Boeing’s consent, Customer may represent to any Financing Party that Boeing will provide to that Financing Party, concurrently with the delivery of each of the Aircraft to that Financing Party, a financier credit memorandum equal to

 

  (a) Concession ceiling for the passenger aircraft: [***]

 

  (b) Concession ceiling for the freighter aircraft: [***]

escalated to the month of delivery in the same manner as the Airframe Price as described in Supplemental Exhibit AE1 2010$ and in conformance with terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement. Insofar as such Financing Party is concerned, this Financier Credit Memorandum shall be in lieu of any other provision in the Letter Agreement. When the Customer identifies a Financing Party and the preliminary terms of an assignment under which pre-delivery payment financing or aircraft purchase financing could be provided, at Customer’s request, Boeing agrees to enter into discussions with the Customer to consider whether an additional credit memorandum can be assigned, with the goal of helping Customer obtain third-party financing.

Boeing will consent to any reasonable request by Customer to assign the Purchase Agreement to an affiliate provided that Boeing is provided with an adequate guarantee of performance of all obligations under this Purchase Agreement and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Boeing.

Customer understands that Boeing is not required under any circumstances to consent to an assignment that would constitute a novation.

The foregoing provisions are intended to supplement, and not to supersede, the assignment provisions of the AGTA, which address delivery date and post-delivery assignments, merger-type assignments, and other matters.

 

14. Confidentiality.

Boeing and Customer understand that the commercial and financial information contained in this Letter Agreement is considered by the parties as confidential (Confidential Information) and both agree not to disclose such

In the event that a party concludes that disclosure of Confidential Information contained in this Letter Agreement is required by applicable law, the party will so advise the other party promptly in writing and endeavor to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information to the widest extent possible.

Except as provided in the assignment provisions of Article 7 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-KSW-6423 entitled “Special Matters Applicable to the Incremental Aircraft”; Article 21 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-LAJ-0895R6 entitled “Business Considerations”;; Article 9 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0412 entitled “Special Matters Relating to Three Aircraft Originally Scheduled to Deliver in 2009”; Article 6 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0450 entitled “Special Matters Letter Applicable to the 2012 Accelerated Aircraft”; Article 6 of Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK-0451 entitled “Special Matters Applicable to the 2012 Additional Aircraft”, Article 9 to Letter Agreement 6-1162-ILK0451R1 entitled “Special Matters Applicable to the 2012 Additional Aircraft and 2013 Aircraft” and Article 13 herein, Customer will not disclose this Letter Agreement for purposes of financing payments without the prior written consent of Boeing, which consent will be provided once the financier enters into a Non Disclosure Agreement with Boeing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Boeing, which will include agreeing not to disclose or use Confidential Information except for the purpose set forth herein. This provision shall not apply to any Confidential Information that is in the public domain except that a party will be liable to the other for breach of its obligations under this provision if the Confidential Information entered the public domain as a consequence of a wrongful act or omission on its part.

The Purchase Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent herein provided and as amended shall continue in full force and effect.

In the event Customer requests Boeing, in writing, to act as importer of record for Customer’s BFE, and Boeing agrees to such request, Customer is responsible for ensuring Boeing can comply with all U.S. Customs Import Regulations by making certain that, at the time of shipment, all BFE shipments comply with the requirements in the “Shipment Routing Instructions—International”, including the Boeing Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) Security Guidelines, as set out on the Boeing website referenced below. Customer agrees to include the Shipment Routing Instructions - International, including Boeing C-TPAT requirements, in each contract between Customer and BFE supplier.

EXHIBIT C PART 3

 

5. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

5.1 Roundings

The Labor Index average, the Material Index average and the Metal Index average shall be computed to the first decimal. If the next succeeding place is five (5) or more, the preceding decimal place shall be raised to the next higher figure.

Each quotient ([***]) shall be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimals). If the next succeeding place is five (5) or more, the preceding decimal place shall be raised to the next higher figure.

The final factor shall be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimals).

The final price shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (0.5 or more rounded to 1).

 

5.2 Substitution of Indexes for Price Revision Formula

If:

 

  (i) the United States Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology of calculation of the Labor Index , the Material Index or the Metal Index, as used in the Price Revision Formula, or

 

  (ii) the United States Department of Labor discontinues, either temporarily or permanently, such Labor Index, such Material Index or such Metal Index, or

 

  (iii) the data samples used to calculate such Labor Index, such Material Index, or such Metal Index are substantially changed;

Pratt and Whitney shall select a substitute index for inclusion in the Price Revision Formula (the “Substitute Index”) and the Seller shall reflect such Substitute Index.

The Substitute Index shall reflect as closely as possible the actual variance of the labor costs, of the material costs or of the metal costs used in the calculation of the original Labor Index, Material Index or Metal Index, as the case may be.

As a result of the selection of the Substitute Index, the consequential adjustment to the Price Revision Formula shall be performed, to combine the successive utilization of the original Labor Index, Material Index or Metal Index (as the case may be) and of the Substitute Index.

 

5.3 Final Index Values

The Index values as defined in Clause 4 above shall be considered final and no further adjustment to the adjusted Reference Price as revised at Aircraft Delivery (or payment of such revised amounts, as the case may be) shall be respectively made after Aircraft Delivery (or payment of such adjusted amounts, as the case may be) for any subsequent changes in the published Index values.

  10.3 The Buyer agrees to notify the Seller in writing reasonably promptly upon becoming aware of a claim by an Indemnitee for indemnification from the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1 (a Claim); provided that, the Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of any increase in any Claim to the extent that any such increase arises solely and directly as a result of the Buyer’s failure to give the Seller reasonably prompt written notice of any such Claim.

 

  10.4 Without prejudice to the underlying obligation of the Seller to indemnify any such Indemnitee(s) in accordance with Clause 10.1 in respect of any such Claim, the Buyer agrees that:

  10.4.2 if the Buyer and the Seller cannot agree on a course of action as regards any such Contest, the Seller shall be entitled (acting at all times reasonably and in good faith) to procure a legal opinion (or, as the case may be, an opinion of another relevant expert having regard to the nature of the Claim) from a suitably qualified expert with a view to confirming that a reasonable basis exists for any such Contest and the actions recommended to be undertaken in order to properly conduct any such Contest. If the opinion of the relevant expert confirms that there does not exist a reasonable basis for any such Contest, the Seller shall promptly pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount owed by the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1;

 

  10.4.3 if the Seller’s appointed expert has confirmed in its opinion that it is necessary for the Seller to take action in the name of the relevant Indemnitee(s), the Buyer (acting on the instructions of such Indemnitee(s)) shall be entitled to request that the Buyer and the Seller instruct an independent expert (the costs thereof to be shared equally between the Buyer and the Seller) to evaluate the Contest’s prospects of success and/or actions recommended to be undertaken in the name of the relevant Indemnitee(s) in order to properly conduct any such Contest. If the independent expert confirms that: (i) there does not exist a reasonable basis for any such Contest; and/or (ii) that it is necessary that any action be taken in the name of any Indemnitee, the Seller shall, with regard to (i), promptly pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount owed by the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1 or, with regard to (ii), proceed to take any action in the name of the relevant Indemnitee as recommended by such independent expert;

  10.4.4 following the receipt of any positive opinion of the Seller’s expert pursuant to Clause 10.4.2 or, as the case may be, of the independent expert appointed pursuant to Clause 10.4.3 above, the Seller may proceed to take, at its sole cost and expense, any action(s) as may have been recommended thereunder; provided that:

 

  (a) no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing; and/or

 

  (b) the relevant Indemnitee(s) shall have received the full amount to be indemnified pursuant to Clause 10.1 or, if agreed by such Indemnitee(s), adequate reserves, satisfactory to such Indemnitee(s), shall have been made in respect of the Claim and the costs thereof; and/or

 

  (c) taking of any such action (or, as the case may be, the entitlement to continue to take any such action) would not be deemed by the relevant Indemnitee(s) to be prejudicial to the relevant Indemnitee(s) position as regards the Claim or otherwise would not be likely to have any adverse effect upon the relevant Indemnitee(s)’s reputation, business, operations or financial condition (other than any minor costs and expenses of an administrative nature).

 

10.5 Subject to the relevant Indemnitee(s) having received from the Seller the full amount required to indemnify and hold such Indemnitee(s) harmless with regards to any Claim, the Buyer agrees to procure that the relevant Indemnitee(s) take(s) such steps (at no cost to the Buyer or to such Indemnitee(s)) as may be reasonably requested by the Seller so as to enable the Seller to be subrogated to the rights of such relevant Indemnitee(s) in respect of such Claim.

 

11. TAXES

The parties will use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate or avoid any Taxes which arise as a result of the sale of the Aircraft by (or otherwise procured by) the Seller to the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement and the Seller and the Buyer shall each co-operate with the other in good faith and take such steps as are reasonably practicable in respect thereof; provided that, the cost of any such mitigation or avoidance action shall be borne by the party requesting the same and that any such steps contemplated above shall not result in any of the rights or obligations of the non-requesting party under this Agreement being adversely affected.

 

12. LIABILITY INSURANCE

The Buyer shall maintain or procure that liability insurance is maintained in respect of the Aircraft during the period commencing on the Delivery Date and ending on the earlier of: (i) the completion of the next zonal/structural inspection (due at either 6 years or 12 years); and (ii) the second anniversary of the Delivery Date. On the Delivery Date and on the occasion of each renewal of such liability insurance, the Buyer shall provide (or procure that the then current operator provides) a certificate issued by the insurance broker of the then current operator which includes the following:

 

  (a) the Seller, the Owner (if applicable) (and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) as additional named assureds on the passenger, third party, cargo, baggage and mail liability policies which shall have a combined single limit of liability of not less than the lesser of: (a) the level of coverage maintained by the Seller as at the Delivery Date; and (b) the level of coverage maintained by prudent operators of single-aisle aircraft in the region within which such next operator of the Aircraft operates;

 

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.

provided always that; requirements set out in sub-Clauses (a) through (d) are not inconsistent with the prevailing practice in the London international aviation insurance market as at the Delivery Date or on the occasion of each renewal. If there is a inconsistency between the requirements of any of sub-Clauses (a) through (d) above and such prevailing practice, then the provision of a certificate complying with such prevailing practice shall satisfy the Buyer’s obligations set out in this Clause 12.

 

13. MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTIES

  (c) taking of any such action (or, as the case may be, the entitlement to continue to take any such action) would not be deemed by the relevant Indemnitee(s) to be prejudicial to the relevant Indemnitee(s) position as regards the Claim or otherwise would not be likely to have any adverse effect upon the relevant Indemnitee(s)’s reputation, business, operations or financial condition (other than any minor costs and expenses of an administrative nature).

 

10.5 Subject to the relevant Indemnitee(s) having received from the Seller the full amount required to indemnify and hold such Indemnitee(s) harmless with regards to any Claim, the Buyer agrees to procure that the relevant Indemnitee(s) take(s) such steps (at no cost to the Buyer or to such Indemnitee(s)) as may be reasonably requested by the Seller so as to enable the Seller to be subrogated to the rights of such relevant Indemnitee(s) in respect of such Claim.

10.3 The Buyer agrees to notify the Seller in writing reasonably promptly upon becoming aware of a claim by an Indemnitee for indemnification from the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1 (a Claim); provided that, the Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of any increase in any Claim to the extent that any such increase arises solely and directly as a result of the Buyer’s failure to give the Seller reasonably prompt written notice of any such Claim.

 

10.4 Without prejudice to the underlying obligation of the Seller to indemnify any such Indemnitee(s) in accordance with Clause 10.1 in respect of any such Claim, the Buyer agrees that:

 

  10.4.1 commencing on the date the Claim is notified to the Seller, the Seller’s obligation to pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount of the Claim shall be stayed for a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as the relevant Indemnitee(s) may agree, acting reasonably) (a Standstill Period) in order to allow the Seller the opportunity to evaluate the Claim and to decide whether or not it wishes to contest its validity or, as the case may be, the amount claimed thereunder (a Contest) and so that the Seller and the Buyer (acting on behalf of any relevant Indemnitee(s)) may consult with each other in order to determine what action (if any) may be reasonably be taken in order to avoid or mitigate such Claim;

 

  10.4.2 if the Buyer and the Seller cannot agree on a course of action as regards any such Contest, the Seller shall be entitled (acting at all times reasonably and in good faith) to procure a legal opinion (or, as the case may be, an opinion of another relevant expert having regard to the nature of the Claim) from a suitably qualified expert with a view to confirming that a reasonable basis exists for any such Contest and the actions recommended to be undertaken in order to properly conduct any such Contest. If the opinion of the relevant expert confirms that there does not exist a reasonable basis for any such Contest, the Seller shall promptly pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount owed by the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1;

 

  10.4.3 if the Seller’s appointed expert has confirmed in its opinion that it is necessary for the Seller to take action in the name of the relevant Indemnitee(s), the Buyer (acting on the instructions of such Indemnitee(s)) shall be entitled to request that the Buyer and the Seller instruct an independent expert (the costs thereof to be shared equally between the Buyer and the Seller) to evaluate the Contest’s prospects of success and/or actions recommended to be undertaken in the name of the relevant Indemnitee(s) in order to properly conduct any such Contest. If the independent expert confirms that: (i) there does not exist a reasonable basis for any such Contest; and/or (ii) that it is necessary that any action be taken in the name of any Indemnitee, the Seller shall, with regard to (i), promptly pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount owed by the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1 or, with regard to (ii), proceed to take any action in the name of the relevant Indemnitee as recommended by such independent expert;

 

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.

8


  10.4.4 following the receipt of any positive opinion of the Seller’s expert pursuant to Clause 10.4.2 or, as the case may be, of the independent expert appointed pursuant to Clause 10.4.3 above, the Seller may proceed to take, at its sole cost and expense, any action(s) as may have been recommended thereunder; provided that:

 

  (a) no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing; and/or

 

  (b) the relevant Indemnitee(s) shall have received the full amount to be indemnified pursuant to Clause 10.1 or, if agreed by such Indemnitee(s), adequate reserves, satisfactory to such Indemnitee(s), shall have been made in respect of the Claim and the costs thereof; and/or

 

  (c) taking of any such action (or, as the case may be, the entitlement to continue to take any such action) would not be deemed by the relevant Indemnitee(s) to be prejudicial to the relevant Indemnitee(s) position as regards the Claim or otherwise would not be likely to have any adverse effect upon the relevant Indemnitee(s)’s reputation, business, operations or financial condition (other than any minor costs and expenses of an administrative nature).

 

10.5 Subject to the relevant Indemnitee(s) having received from the Seller the full amount required to indemnify and hold such Indemnitee(s) harmless with regards to any Claim, the Buyer agrees to procure that the relevant Indemnitee(s) take(s) such steps (at no cost to the Buyer or to such Indemnitee(s)) as may be reasonably requested by the Seller so as to enable the Seller to be subrogated to the rights of such relevant Indemnitee(s) in respect of such Claim.

 

11. TAXES

The parties will use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate or avoid any Taxes which arise as a result of the sale of the Aircraft by (or otherwise procured by) the Seller to the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement and the Seller and the Buyer shall each co-operate with the other in good faith and take such steps as are reasonably practicable in respect thereof; provided that, the cost of any such mitigation or avoidance action shall be borne by the party requesting the same and that any such steps contemplated above shall not result in any of the rights or obligations of the non-requesting party under this Agreement being adversely affected.

 

12. LIABILITY INSURANCE

The Buyer shall maintain or procure that liability insurance is maintained in respect of the Aircraft during the period commencing on the Delivery Date and ending on the earlier of: (i) the completion of the next zonal/structural inspection (due at either 6 years or 12 years); and (ii) the second anniversary of the Delivery Date. On the Delivery Date and on the occasion of each renewal of such liability insurance, the Buyer shall provide (or procure that the then current operator provides) a certificate issued by the insurance broker of the then current operator which includes the following:

 

  (a) the Seller, the Owner (if applicable) (and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) as additional named assureds on the passenger, third party, cargo, baggage and mail liability policies which shall have a combined single limit of liability of not less than the lesser of: (a) the level of coverage maintained by the Seller as at the Delivery Date; and (b) the level of coverage maintained by prudent operators of single-aisle aircraft in the region within which such next operator of the Aircraft operates;

 

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.

If Airbus and the Seller cannot agree on the selection of such third party in a timely manner, Avitas Inc shall be appointed to select such third party.

10.3 The Buyer agrees to notify the Seller in writing reasonably promptly upon becoming aware of a claim by an Indemnitee for indemnification from the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1 (a Claim); provided that, the Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of any increase in any Claim to the extent that any such increase arises solely and directly as a result of the Buyer’s failure to give the Seller reasonably prompt written notice of any such Claim.

 

10.4 Without prejudice to the underlying obligation of the Seller to indemnify any such Indemnitee(s) in accordance with Clause 10.1 in respect of any such Claim, the Buyer agrees that:

 

  10.4.1 commencing on the date the Claim is notified to the Seller, the Seller’s obligation to pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount of the Claim shall be stayed for a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as the relevant Indemnitee(s) may agree, acting reasonably) (a Standstill Period) in order to allow the Seller the opportunity to evaluate the Claim and to decide whether or not it wishes to contest its validity or, as the case may be, the amount claimed thereunder (a Contest) and so that the Seller and the Buyer (acting on behalf of any relevant Indemnitee(s)) may consult with each other in order to determine what action (if any) may be reasonably be taken in order to avoid or mitigate such Claim;

 

  10.4.2 if the Buyer and the Seller cannot agree on a course of action as regards any such Contest, the Seller shall be entitled (acting at all times reasonably and in good faith) to procure a legal opinion (or, as the case may be, an opinion of another relevant expert having regard to the nature of the Claim) from a suitably qualified expert with a view to confirming that a reasonable basis exists for any such Contest and the actions recommended to be undertaken in order to properly conduct any such Contest. If the opinion of the relevant expert confirms that there does not exist a reasonable basis for any such Contest, the Seller shall promptly pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount owed by the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1;

 

  10.4.3 if the Seller’s appointed expert has confirmed in its opinion that it is necessary for the Seller to take action in the name of the relevant Indemnitee(s), the Buyer (acting on the instructions of such Indemnitee(s)) shall be entitled to request that the Buyer and the Seller instruct an independent expert (the costs thereof to be shared equally between the Buyer and the Seller) to evaluate the Contest’s prospects of success and/or actions recommended to be undertaken in the name of the relevant Indemnitee(s) in order to properly conduct any such Contest. If the independent expert confirms that: (i) there does not exist a reasonable basis for any such Contest; and/or (ii) that it is necessary that any action be taken in the name of any Indemnitee, the Seller shall, with regard to (i), promptly pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount owed by the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1 or, with regard to (ii), proceed to take any action in the name of the relevant Indemnitee as recommended by such independent expert;

  10.4.4 following the receipt of any positive opinion of the Seller’s expert pursuant to Clause 10.4.2 or, as the case may be, of the independent expert appointed pursuant to Clause 10.4.3 above, the Seller may proceed to take, at its sole cost and expense, any action(s) as may have been recommended thereunder; provided that:

 

  (a) no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing; and/or

 

  (b) the relevant Indemnitee(s) shall have received the full amount to be indemnified pursuant to Clause 10.1 or, if agreed by such Indemnitee(s), adequate reserves, satisfactory to such Indemnitee(s), shall have been made in respect of the Claim and the costs thereof; and/or

 

  (c) taking of any such action (or, as the case may be, the entitlement to continue to take any such action) would not be deemed by the relevant Indemnitee(s) to be prejudicial to the relevant Indemnitee(s) position as regards the Claim or otherwise would not be likely to have any adverse effect upon the relevant Indemnitee(s)’s reputation, business, operations or financial condition (other than any minor costs and expenses of an administrative nature).

 

10.5 Subject to the relevant Indemnitee(s) having received from the Seller the full amount required to indemnify and hold such Indemnitee(s) harmless with regards to any Claim, the Buyer agrees to procure that the relevant Indemnitee(s) take(s) such steps (at no cost to the Buyer or to such Indemnitee(s)) as may be reasonably requested by the Seller so as to enable the Seller to be subrogated to the rights of such relevant Indemnitee(s) in respect of such Claim.

 

11. TAXES

The parties will use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate or avoid any Taxes which arise as a result of the sale of the Aircraft by (or otherwise procured by) the Seller to the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement and the Seller and the Buyer shall each co-operate with the other in good faith and take such steps as are reasonably practicable in respect thereof; provided that, the cost of any such mitigation or avoidance action shall be borne by the party requesting the same and that any such steps contemplated above shall not result in any of the rights or obligations of the non-requesting party under this Agreement being adversely affected.

 

12. LIABILITY INSURANCE

The Buyer shall maintain or procure that liability insurance is maintained in respect of the Aircraft during the period commencing on the Delivery Date and ending on the earlier of: (i) the completion of the next zonal/structural inspection (due at either 6 years or 12 years); and (ii) the second anniversary of the Delivery Date. On the Delivery Date and on the occasion of each renewal of such liability insurance, the Buyer shall provide (or procure that the then current operator provides) a certificate issued by the insurance broker of the then current operator which includes the following:

 

  (a) the Seller, the Owner (if applicable) (and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) as additional named assureds on the passenger, third party, cargo, baggage and mail liability policies which shall have a combined single limit of liability of not less than the lesser of: (a) the level of coverage maintained by the Seller as at the Delivery Date; and (b) the level of coverage maintained by prudent operators of single-aisle aircraft in the region within which such next operator of the Aircraft operates;

 

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.

  (b) an appropriate cross liabilities clause and breach of warranty protection in favour of such additional named assureds;

provided always that; requirements set out in sub-Clauses (a) through (d) are not inconsistent with the prevailing practice in the London international aviation insurance market as at the Delivery Date or on the occasion of each renewal. If there is a inconsistency between the requirements of any of sub-Clauses (a) through (d) above and such prevailing practice, then the provision of a certificate complying with such prevailing practice shall satisfy the Buyer’s obligations set out in this Clause 12.

 

13. MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTIES

The Seller hereby agrees to: (i) assign to the Buyer any warranties of any manufacturer or vendor of any part of the Aircraft; and (ii) procure (at no cost to the Seller) that the Buyer receives the benefit of any non-assignable warranties of any manufacturer or vendor of any part of the Aircraft which may exist as at Delivery in respect of any claim arising under any such warranties.

  (c) taking of any such action (or, as the case may be, the entitlement to continue to take any such action) would not be deemed by the relevant Indemnitee(s) to be prejudicial to the relevant Indemnitee(s) position as regards the Claim or otherwise would not be likely to have any adverse effect upon the relevant Indemnitee(s)’s reputation, business, operations or financial condition (other than any minor costs and expenses of an administrative nature).

 

10.5 Subject to the relevant Indemnitee(s) having received from the Seller the full amount required to indemnify and hold such Indemnitee(s) harmless with regards to any Claim, the Buyer agrees to procure that the relevant Indemnitee(s) take(s) such steps (at no cost to the Buyer or to such Indemnitee(s)) as may be reasonably requested by the Seller so as to enable the Seller to be subrogated to the rights of such relevant Indemnitee(s) in respect of such Claim.
