Azul Successfully Concludes its FinancialRestructuring Process in the United States of America (Chapter 11)
The Company emerges from the process with a significantlystrengthened balance sheet, positioned for greater long-term stability and sustainable growth.
Reduction of debt and lease obligations of approximatelyUS$ 2.5 billion.
São Paulo, February 20, 2026 – Azul S.A. ("Azul” or the “Company”) (B3: AZUL53; OTC: AZULQ), Brazil’s largest airline by number of cities served and nonstop domestic routes, hereby informs, in compliance with Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) Resolution No. 44, dated August 23, 2021, and Article 157, paragraph 4, of Brazilian Law No. 6,404, dated December 15, 1976, that it has, as of today, successfully concluded its voluntary financial restructuring process, with its consequent emergence from Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, conducted before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court” and the “Restructuring”, respectively), following the repayment in full, on this same date, of the DIP (debtor-in-possession) financing and the settlement of the Company’s public offering of shares disclosed to the market on February 3, 2026 (the “Emergence Offering”).
As of today, each of the conditions precedent to the occurrence of the effective date under Azul’s plan of reorganization (previously confirmed by the Court on December 19, 2025, have been satisfied or waived in accordance therewith, and the Plan became effective and was substantially consummated, culminating in the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11.
As a result of the settlement of the Emergence Offering and of the reverse stock split approved at the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on February 12, 2026, Azul’s new share capital amounts to BRL 21,756,852,177.39, divided into 54,730,851,778,811 registered common shares, with no par value. In the event the three series of warrants, which issuance was approved during the Board of Directors meeting of Azul held on February 19, 2026, as per the material fact disclosed to the market on such date, are fully exercised, then the total number of shares of the Company would be increased to 62,176,565,360,734.
Throughout this process, Azul carried out a comprehensive transformation of its balance sheet and emerges from Chapter 11 having achieved its key objectives, including strengthening its capital structure, increasing liquidity, and substantially reducing indebtedness, enabling greater sustainability and long-term growth for its operations.
The restructuring was implemented through agreements with its main creditors, including holders of the Company’s debt securities issued in the market, its largest aircraft lessor, AerCap, as well as two strategic investors, United Airlines, Inc. and American Airlines, Inc.
