Insights

Support deal aligns key creditor groups and sets defined recovery paths.

Azul secured support from the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and a Secured Ad Hoc Group for its Plan. For General Unsecured Creditors, the deal offers a choice between a pro rata share of US$20 million cash or interests in a GUC Trust with warrants and contingent payments, aligning incentives around Plan confirmation and emergence.

The GUC Trust features warrants struck at an equity value of US$3.8 billion for 5.5% of equity upon emergence, plus up to three annual payments of US$6.5 million each if performance targets are met at the end of 2027, 2028, and 2029, and US$2.5–US$5 million for administrative costs. Warrants scale down if creditors opt for cash, linking recoveries to actual elections.

Azul filed a revised Plan and Disclosure Statement; the company states these figures are solely for Chapter 11 purposes. Actual impact depends on creditor voting, court approval, and future performance against the stated targets.
