Azul S.A. ADS Program - Restricted ADSs

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to the Deposit Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2017, as amended and supplemented from time to time (as so amended and supplemented, the “Deposit Agreement”), by and among Azul S.A., a sociedade por ações organized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (the “Company”), Citibank, N.A., a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as Depositary (in such capacity, the “Depositary”), and all Holders and Beneficial Owners of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) issued thereunder. All capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Deposit Agreement.

 

The Company desires to establish procedures (the “RADR Facility”) pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Deposit Agreement to enable certain holders of Shares, including Affiliates of the Company (each, a “Restricted Holder”), that constitute Restricted Securities (such Shares, “Restricted Shares”) as Restricted ADSs. The Depositary agrees to accommodate the deposit of Restricted Shares and the issuance of Restricted ADSs, provided that (a) the terms of deposit of the Restricted Shares for Restricted ADSs neither (i) prejudice any substantial rights of existing Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs under the Deposit Agreement, nor (ii) violate or conflict with any law, rule or administrative position applicable to the ADSs, and (b) the terms of the Deposit Agreement, including Section 2.14 thereof, are supplemented as set forth in this Restricted ADS letter agreement (the “Restricted ADS Letter Agreement”) to establish procedures for the RADR Facility.

 

To facilitate the orderly administration of the RADR Facility and to reflect the varying restrictions, characteristics, and other terms and provisions, applicable to differently situated Restricted Holders, Restricted Shares, and/or Restricted ADSs (including, without limitation, restrictions on the transfer or disposal of Restricted Shares and Restricted ADSs), this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and the Deposit Agreement shall each be supplemented from time to time by the execution and delivery of one or more Restricted ADS series supplements, substantially in the form of Appendix I hereto (each, an “RADS Series Supplement”), specifying the particular limitations and terms and conditions applicable to certain Restricted Holders, and/or certain Restricted Shares, and/or Restricted ADSs, as is necessary and/or prudent to identify such the differing restrictions and characteristics.

In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between the general terms and provisions of this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and the more specific terms and provisions of a RADS Series Supplement with respect to the particular Restricted Holder(s), Restricted Shares, and/or Restricted ADSs described therein, the terms and provisions of such RADS Series Supplement shall control with respect to the specific subject matter set forth therein.

 

The purpose and intent of this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement is to supplement the Deposit Agreement in order to accommodate (i) the deposit of Restricted Shares, (ii) the issuance of Restricted ADSs, (ii) the sale, transfer or cancellation of such Restricted ADSs, and (iii) certain ancillary transactions further described below.

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Depositary hereby agree, as contemplated in Section 2.14 of the Deposit Agreement, as follows:

 

1.  Depositary Procedures. Subject to the specific terms set forth in each applicable RADS Series Supplement, the Company consents to (i)(a) under Section 2.3 of the Deposit Agreement, the deposit by the Company, or by, for, or on behalf of, each Restricted Holder, of certain Restricted Shares specified in the applicable Standard Consent and Delivery Instruction (as defined below) to be delivered to the Depositary to accept the deposit of such Restricted Shares (each such transaction, a “Restricted Share Deposit for RADS Issuance”), and (b) if applicable, the surrender of freely transferable, unrestricted ADSs (each, an “Unrestricted ADS”) to the Depositary for cancellation and conversion into the corresponding Restricted ADSs by, for, or on behalf of, each Restricted Holder specified in the applicable consent and delivery instruction applicable thereto delivered to the Depositary to accept the delivery of such Unrestricted ADSs for cancellation and conversion into RADSs (each such transaction, an “ADS Delivery for RADS Conversion”), and (ii) in each case, the issuance and delivery by the Depositary of the corresponding number of Restricted ADSs in respect thereof in the form of Uncertificated ADSs, upon the terms set forth in Section 2.13 of the Deposit Agreement, as supplemented by this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and the applicable RADS Series Supplement, to the Restricted Holders or their respective designees.

 

Except as may otherwise be provided in any RADS Series Supplement, in connection with (i) each Restricted Share Deposit for RADS Issuance (a) by the Company, the Company shall deliver to the Depositary a duly completed and signed consent and delivery instruction substantially in the form of Appendix 2-A hereto (each, a “Standard Consent and Delivery Instruction – Company”), and (b) by a Restricted Holder, the Restricted Holder shall be required to deliver to the Depositary a duly completed and signed consent and delivery instruction substantially in the form of Appendix 2-B hereto (each a “Standard Consent and Delivery Instruction – Restricted Holder”), and (ii) each ADS Delivery for RADS Conversion, the Restricted Holder shall be required to deliver to the Depositary a duly completed and signed consent and delivery instruction substantially in the form of Appendix 2-C hereto (each, a “Standard Consent and Delivery Instruction –ADSs Delivery for RADS Conversion” and together with a Standard Consent and Delivery Instruction – Company and a Standard Consent and Delivery Instruction – Restricted Holder, a “Standard Consent and Delivery Instruction”).

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.14 of the Deposit Agreement as supplemented by this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement, to (i) establish procedures to enable (x) Restricted Share Deposits for RADS Issuances by the Company, or by, for, or on behalf of, the Restricted Holders, as a valid deposit of Shares under the Deposit Agreement in order to enable the issuance and delivery by the Depositary to the Restricted Holders of the corresponding Restricted ADSs upon the terms of this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and the applicable RADS Series Supplement, (y) ADS Deliveries for RADS Conversions by, for, or on behalf of, the Restricted Holders in order to enable the cancellation and conversion of such Unrestricted ADSs and the issuance and delivery by the Depositary to the Restricted Holders of the corresponding Restricted ADSs issued under the terms of this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and the applicable RADS Series Supplement, and (z) the transfer of Restricted ADSs, the removal of the transfer and other restrictions with respect to Restricted ADSs in order to create Unrestricted ADSs, and the withdrawal of the Restricted Shares upon cancellation of the Restricted ADSs, in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Deposit Agreement as supplemented by the terms of this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and the applicable RADS Series Supplement, and (ii) deliver an account statement (the “Account Statement”) to the Restricted Holder(s) upon the issuance of the Restricted ADSs, in each case upon the terms set forth in this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and the applicable RADS Series Supplement. Nothing contained in this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement shall in any way obligate the Depositary, or give authority to the Depositary, to accept (i) any Restricted Share Deposits for RADS Issuances other than as described in this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and in the applicable RADS Series Supplement, or (ii) any ADS Deliveries for RADS Conversions as described in this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and in the applicable RADS Series Supplement.

 

2.  Company Assistance. The Company agrees to (i) provide commercially reasonable assistance upon the request of and to the Depositary in the establishment of such procedures to enable the acceptance of the deposit by the Company and by, for, or on behalf of, the Restricted Holders of Restricted Shares in connection with Restricted Share Deposits for RADS Issuances, the acceptance of the delivery by, for, or on behalf of, the Restricted Holders of Unrestricted ADSs in connection with ADS Deliveries for RADS Conversions, the issuance of Restricted ADSs in connection with Restricted Share Deposits for RADS Issuances and ADS Deliveries for RADS Conversions, the transfer of Restricted ADSs, the withdrawal of Restricted Shares and the conversion of Restricted ADSs into freely transferable ADSs, and (ii) take all commercially reasonable steps requested by the Depositary to ensure that the acceptance of the deposit of Restricted Shares in connection with Restricted Share Deposits for RADS Issuances, the acceptance of the delivery of Unrestricted ADSs in connection with ADS Deliveries for RADS Conversions, the issuance of Restricted ADSs in connection with Restricted Share Deposits for RADS Issuances and ADS Deliveries for RADS Conversions, the transfer of Restricted ADSs, the conversion of Restricted ADSs into freely transferable ADSs, and the withdrawal of Restricted Shares, in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, do not prejudice any substantial existing rights of Holders or Beneficial Owners of ADSs and do not violate the provisions of the Securities Act or any other applicable laws.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall at the time of execution of this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement cause (A) its U.S. counsel to deliver an opinion to the Depositary as of the date hereof stating, inter alia, that assuming its due authorization, execution and delivery, this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company under the laws of the State of New York, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (B) its Brazilian counsel to deliver an opinion to the Depositary as of the date hereof stating, inter alia, that (i) the Company has duly authorized and executed this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement, (ii) this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil enforceable against the Company upon its terms, (iii) all approvals required by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil to permit the entry by the Company into this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement have been obtained, (iv) all approvals required by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil to permit the deposit of Restricted Shares under the Deposit Agreement and this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement have been obtained, and (v) the terms of this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Restricted ADS Letter Agreement do not violate, contravene or conflict with any existing laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil of general application.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Deposit Agreement, or, in the event so noted herein, in the Restricted ADS Letter Agreement.

 

As contemplated in the Restricted ADS Letter Agreement, the Company desires, and the Depositary agrees, to establish procedures to accommodate the issuance and delivery of Designated Restricted ADSs (as defined in Section 1 below) upon the terms of this [●] Restricted ADS Series Supplement (the “[●] RADS Series Supplement”), provided that (a) the terms of deposit of the designated Restricted Securities for Designated Restricted ADSs neither (i) prejudice any substantial rights of existing Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs under the Deposit Agreement, nor (ii) violate or conflict with any law, rule or administrative position applicable to the ADSs, and (b) the terms of the Deposit Agreement are supplemented as set forth in this RADS Series Supplement for purpose of the issuance of the Designated RADSs.

 

App’x 1 - 1 

 

 

The purpose and intent of this RADS Series Supplement is to supplement the Deposit Agreement and the Restricted ADS Letter Agreement for the purpose of accommodating (i) the issuance of Designated Restricted ADSs to the Restricted Holders, (ii) the sale, transfer or cancellation of such Designated Restricted ADSs, and (iii) certain ancillary transactions further described below.

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Depositary hereby agree, notwithstanding the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the RADS Letter Agreement, as follows:

 

1.  Depositary Procedures. The Company hereby consents, under Section 2.3 and Section 2.14 of the Deposit Agreement, to:

 

[Restricted Share Deposits for RADS Issuances in connection with [insert description of contemplated transactions].]

[In connection with each such Restricted Share Deposit for RADS issuance the Company shall deliver to the Depositary a duly completed and signed Standard Consent and Delivery Instruction – Company (as defined in the Restricted ADS Letter Agreement) substantially in the form of Appendix 2-A to the Restricted ADS Letter Agreement.] OR [by a Restricted Holder and request for issuance of Designated Restricted ADSs, the Restricted Holder shall be required to deliver to the Depositary a duly completed and signed Standard Consent and Delivery Instruction – Restricted Holder (as defined in the Restricted ADS Letter Agreement) substantially in the form of Appendix 2-B to the Restricted ADS Letter Agreement]

2.  Stop Transfer Notation and Legend.
