RELEVANT INFORMATION

NEW YORK COURT RULING

Avianca Holdings S.A. (“Avianca Holdings” or the “Company”), would like to make public a decision notified by its controlling shareholder, related to the audience that took place today in New York:

“There was a court hearing in NY today in the Kingsland Holdings Limited v. BRW Aviation, LLC lawsuit, but it resulted in no change in the management or ownership of Avianca Holdings S.A. (“AVH”) or its subsidiary Avianca S.A.

Kingsland, as the independent third party working on behalf of the collateral agent under the loan agreement between BRW and United Airlines, remains the manager of BRW and thus controls BRW’s majority stake in AVH and Avianca.

The NY court awarded summary judgment to Kingsland on its claims against BRW and its parent BRW Aviation Holdings LLC (“Holdco”) that they defaulted under the loan agreement. The court also ruled that it would maintain the status quo by continuing to prohibit Holdco from interfering with Kingsland’s lawful management of BRW’s majority stake in AVH. These rulings are intermediate steps in the judicial foreclosure process in NY and are subject to appeal, and any foreclosure sale of BRW or its AVH shares will not occur until the end of that process.”
