GOL Reaches Settlement with Certain Holders of 2024 Senior Exchangeable Notes Claims
SíO PAULO, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (B3: GOLL4) ("Company" or "GOL"), one of the leading airlines in Brazil, today announced that the Company has reached an agreement with Whitebox Advisors LLC ("Whitebox") on behalf of its managed funds and accounts that hold 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2024 issued by Gol Equity Finance (the "2024 Senior Exchangeable Notes") which consensually resolves a dispute with respect to the consideration to be provided to all holders of 2024 Senior Exchangeable Notes with claims against Gol Equity Finance under the Company's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the "Plan"). The Company is pleased to have reached this agreement with Whitebox, as it secures the support of its final key economic stakeholder and provides the Company with a clear path to a fully consensual Plan confirmation hearing.
Under the terms of the deal with Whitebox, on behalf of holders that in the aggregate hold an amount of 2024 Senior Exchangeable Notes necessary for Class 10(e) (GEF General Unsecured Claims) to approve the Plan, Whitebox has agreed to sign the Plan Support Agreement previously entered into between the Company, Abra Group Limited, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, and joined by certain members of the ad hoc group of holders of 8.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 issued by Gol Finance (Luxembourg), pursuant to which Whitebox will agree to support the Plan on modified terms. The Plan will be amended to provide for, among other things, modifications to the debtor-by-debtor allocations of the general unsecured claimholder distributions, the details of which will be reflected in the revised Plan to be filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
The Company expects to emerge from its ongoing Chapter 11 cases in June 2025.
Finally, GOL reiterates that, under the terms of the Plan, it will significantly reduce its indebtedness by converting into equity or extinguishing up to approximately US$1.7 billion of its pre-Chapter 11 funded debt and up to approximately US$850 million of other obligations. As such, considering that the conversion will be carried out based on the economic value of GOL's shares prior to the conversion, in accordance with applicable law, a substantial dilution of GOL's currently outstanding shares is expected (subject to shareholders' preemptive rights as provided under Brazilian law).

Stock market today: S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq futures drift higher with US and China set to reboot trade talks
US stock futures drifted higher on Monday as investors watched renewed US-China trade talks for signs either side is willing to dial down tensions and reach a tariff deal. S&P 500 futures (ES=F) inched up 0.1%, after the broad benchmark edged above 6,000 to notch its highest close since February. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) also floated up 0.1%, while contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) also rose 0.1%. Stocks ended last week on a high note, appearing to shake off the volatility that has plagued markets following President Trump's early-April tariff hikes. Encouraging jobs data helped ease fears of a recession fueled by his policy overhaul. Hopes are now for a breakthrough in the high-level US-China trade talks in London on Monday, after a phone call between President Trump and Chinese President Xi last week. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs The stakes are high amid warnings that tariff barriers will harm economies worldwide — the US in particular. Investors are looking for a revival of the momentum shown in the Geneva pact in mid-May. Relations have soured since then, with the US and China accusing each other of not keeping to the trade truce and ratcheting up pressures in other areas. The data highlight this week is May US consumer inflation print due on Friday, with the wholesale inflation report leading the way on Thursday. On the corporate front, Apple (AAPL) kicks off its big annual WWDC developers conference on Monday. Wall Street is watching for more insight into the company's AI plans, though not on the lines of last year's splashy announcements. Meanwhile, investors are keeping a wary eye on escalating tensions in Los Angeles after Trump sent in the National Guard to deal with anti-deportation protests. Shares of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) rose more than 6% in premarket trading on Monday after the media company said it would split into two companies. Warner Bros. will separate its studios and streaming business, which includes HBO Max, and its cable television networks, including CNN. The split is expected to be completed by mid-2026.
