(a)

Loan covenants

With respect to various loans signed by the Company for the financing of Boeing 767, 767F, 777F and 787 aircraft, which carry the guarantee of the United States Export–Import Bank, limits have been set on some of the Company’s financial indicators on a consolidated basis, for which, in any case non-compliance does not generate acceleration of the loans.

Moreover, and related to these same contracts, restrictions are also in place on the Company’s management in terms of its ownership, in relation to the ownership structure and the controlling group, and disposal of the assets which mainly refers to important transfers of assets.

The Company and its subsidiaries do not maintain financial credit contracts with banks in Chile that indicate some limits on financial indicators of the Company or its subsidiaries.

The revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") with aircraft, engines, parts and supplies guaranteed for a total available amount of US$ 600 million, contemplates minimum liquidity restrictions, measured at the level of the Consolidated Company and measured at the for companies LATAM Airlines Group SA and TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A., which remain standby while the credit line is not used. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 this line of credit established with a consortium of eleven banks led by Citibank, is not used.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company is in compliance with all the indicators detailed above.
