Dear Commissioner:

As provided in Sections 9 and 10 of the Securities Markets Act and in General Rule #30, under due authorization, I hereby inform as MATERIAL DISCLOSURE of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., Securities Registration #306 (“LATAM”), the following:

 

  1. After an extensive integration process following the association of LAN and TAM—during which the Group made great advances in achieving synergies for internal processes, network optimization, and fleet restructuring and modernization, the Board of Directors of LATAM Airlines Group has decided to adopt a single name and identity and announces that the new brand for the largest airline group in Latin America and its affiliates will be LATAM.

 

  2. The brand LATAM, which is the result of the consolidation of LAN and TAM, will unite all the passenger and cargo airlines for LATAM Airlines Group: LAN Airlines and its affiliates in Peru, Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador; in addition to TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A., and its subsidiary TAM Air Transport Mercosur S.A. (TAM Airlines (Paraguay), and the cargo carriers comprised of LAN CARGO, LAN CARGO Colombia, ABSA (TAM Cargo) and Mas Air.

 

  3. LATAM Airlines Group is currently working on the new corporate brand, a process that will take approximately three years to complete and will begin to be visible in the first half of 2016 with a gradual roll-out for airports, aircraft, commercial offices, web pages, and uniforms.

Finally, it is stated that LATAM Airlines Group will release as information of interest for the markets, one or more communications in order to provide further information regarding the new identity and new brand, which will be distributed in the relevant markets in which the Company is traded and in which it operates.

Very sincerely yours,
