Following the combination, LAN Airlines S.A. became “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.” and TAM continues to exist as a subsidiary of Holdco I S.A. (“Holdco I”) and a subsidiary of LATAM Airlines Group. LATAM’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 include TAM’s financial results from June 23, 2012. As LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is the owner of substantially all the economic rights in TAM, TAM and its consolidated subsidiaries are for the purposes of this annual report and LATAM’s consolidated financial statements treated as being subsidiaries of LATAM Airlines Group S.A.

Throughout this annual report on Form 20-F we make numerous references to “LAN”. Some references to “LAN” are to LAN Airlines S.A., currently known as LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries, in connection with circumstances and facts occurring prior to June 22, 2012. Other references to “LAN”, however, are to the LAN brand which was launched in 2004 and brings together, under one internationally recognized name, all of the affiliate brands such as LAN Chile, LAN Peru, LAN Argentina, LAN Colombia and LAN Ecuador.

In this annual report on Form 20-F, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “TAM” are to TAM S.A., and its consolidated subsidiaries, including TAM Linhas Aereas S.A., the operating entity, Multiplus S.A. (“Multiplus”), Pantanal Linhas Aéreas S.A. (“Pantanal”), Fidelidade Viagens e Turismo Limited (“TAM Viagens”), and Transportes Aéreos Del Mercosur S.A. (“TAM Mercosur”).

This annual report contains conversions of certain Chilean peso and Brazilian real amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. These conversions should not be construed as representations that the Chilean peso and the Brazilian real amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indicated. Unless we specify otherwise, all references to “$,” “US$,” “U.S. dollars” or “dollars” are to United States dollars, references to “pesos,” “Chilean pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesospesos. References to “reais,” “Brazilian reais,” or “R$” are to Brazilian reais, and references to “UF” are toUnidades de Fomento, a daily indexed Chilean peso-denominated monetary unit that takes into account the effect of the Chilean inflation rate. Unless we indicate otherwise, the U.S. dollar equivalent for information in Chilean pesos is based on the “dólar observado” or “observed” exchange rate published byBanco Central de Chile (which we refer to as the Central Bank of Chile) on December 31, 2011,30, 2013, which was Ch$519.20=523.76 = US$1.00. The observed exchange rate on March 23, 2012,April 25, 2014 was Ch$487.72=559.67 = US$1.00. Unless we indicate otherwise, the U.S. dollar equivalent for information in Brazilian reais is based on the “dólar observado” or “observed” exchange rate published byBanco Central doBrasil (which we refer to as the Central Bank of Brazil) on December 31, 2013, which was R$2.342 = US$1.00. The observed exchange rate on April 25, 2014 was R$2.231 = US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos.pesos nor Brazilian reais. See “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data—Chilean Peso Exchange Rates”. and “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data—Brazilian Exchange Rates.”

LanLATAM Airlines Group and the majority of our subsidiaries (including our main cargo subsidiary Lan Cargo S.A., or Lan Cargo) maintain their accounting records and prepare their financial statements in U.S. dollars. Some of our other subsidiaries, however, maintain their accounting records and prepare their financial statements in Chilean pesos, Argentinean pesos, Colombian pesos or Colombian pesos.Brazilian reais. In particular, TAM maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statements in Brazilian reais. Our audited consolidated financial statements include the results of these subsidiaries translated into U.S. dollars. International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), require assets and liabilities to be translated at period-end exchange rates, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at each transaction date, although a monthly average rates.rate may also be used if exchange rates do not vary widely.

OurLATAM’s audited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 20112013 were prepared in accordance with IFRS. Prior to 2009 our audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile (“Chilean GAAP”). IFRS differs in certain significant respects from Chilean GAAP. As a result, our financial information presented under IFRS as of 2009 is not directly comparable to our financial information presented with respect to previous years under Chilean GAAP. Accordingly, readers should avoid such comparison.

We have rounded percentages and certain U.S. dollar, and Chilean peso and Brazilian reais amounts contained in this annual report for ease of presentation. Any discrepancies in any table between totals and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding.

This annual report contains certain terms that may be unfamiliar to some readers. You can find a glossary of these terms on page 4 of this annual report.

The changes were made as part of the Company implemented a change in its methodology used for calculating cargo ATKs in order to better represent the available capacitycorrection of certain errors in the belliescomputation of passenger aircraft. Cargo RTKs were not affected by this change. Historical data has been modified accordingly for comparison purposes.LATAM’s data.

Although most of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, some are denominated in different currencies, such as the Chilean peso.peso or the Brazilian real. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could lead to changes in the value of these items in U.S. dollars. Nevertheless, the impact on our results stemming from any such fluctuations is significantlypartially mitigated by the fact that 78.0%42% of our revenues and 53.0%60% of our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 are denominated in U.S. dollars.

LATAM Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma statement of income data for the year ended December 31, 2012 combines the historical consolidated statements of income of LAN and TAM, giving effect to the combination as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2012. The table below compares the actual financial information of LATAM as of December 31, 2013 with the unaudited pro forma financial information of LATAM as at December 31, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma information has been prepared using the purchase method of accounting, with LAN treated as the acquirer of TAM. A reconciliation of the unaudited LATAM Pro Forma Financial Information to LATAM’s audited consolidated income statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, is included under “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—LATAM Airlines Group Financial Results Discussion: Year ended December 31, 2013 (Actual) compared to year ended December 31, 2012 (Pro forma)—Pro Forma Adjustments.”

Dividend Policy

In accordance with theLey sobre Sociedades Anónimas No. 18,046(Chilean (Chilean Corporation Act) andReglamento de Sociedades Anónimas(Regulation to the Chilean Corporation Act) (collectively, the “Chilean Corporation Law”), we must pay annual cash dividends equal to at least 30.0% of our annual consolidated distributable net income each year (calculated in accordance with IFRS), subject to limited exceptions. In 2011, we paid interim dividends related to year 2011 results totaling US$141.6 million, equivalent to 44.2% of the Company’s net income in 2011. The aforementioned dividends were paid as follows: (i) on September 15, 2011, we paid a first interim dividend of US$56.6 million related to results as of June 30, 2011, to the shareholders on record as of September 9, 2011, representing US$0.16677 per share; and (ii) on January 12, 2012, we paid a second interim dividend of US$ 85.0 million related to full year 2011 results, to shareholders on record as of January 6, 2012, representing US$0.24988 per share. The table below sets forth the cash dividends per common share and per ADS, as well as the number of common shares entitled to such dividends, for the years indicated. Dividends per common share amounts have not been adjusted for inflation and reflect common share amounts outstanding immediately prior to the distribution of such dividend. In August 2007, LAN modified the ratio of its common shares to one of its American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), from 5:1 to 1:1.

OurLATAM Airlines Group’s board of directors has the authority to declare interim dividends. Year-end dividends, if any, are declared by our shareholders at our annual meeting. For a description of our dividend policy, see “Item 8. Financial Information—A. Consolidated Financial Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy”. and “Item 10. Additional Information—B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—Dividend and Liquidation Rights.” LATAM did not pay an interim dividend in 2013.

We declare cash dividends in U.S. dollars, but make dividend payments in Chilean pesos, converted from U.S. dollars at the observed exchange rate two days prior to the day we first make payment to shareholders. Payments of cash dividends to holders of ADRs, if any, are made in Chilean pesos to the custodian, which converts those Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars and delivers U.S. dollars to the depositary for distribution to holders. In the event that the custodian is unable to convert immediately the Chilean currency received as dividends into U.S. dollars, the amount of U.S. dollars payable to holders of ADRs may be adversely affected by a devaluation of the Chilean currency that may occur before such dividends are converted and remitted.

D. Risk Factors

We wish to caution readers that the following important factors, and those important factors described in other reports submitted to, or filed with, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) among other factors, could affect our actual results and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. In particular, as we are a non-U.S. company, there are risks associated with investing in our ADSs that are not typical for investments in the shares of U.S. companies. Prior to making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all of the information contained in this document, including the following risk factors.

Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer and Mergers involving TAM S.A.

Both commencement and completion of the exchange offer are subject to many conditions precedent and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the proposed combination with TAM S.A. will not be completed

We and TAM S.A., a Brazilian company (“TAM”), are proposing to combine to form the leading Latin American airline group with the largest fleet of aircraft of any airline in Latin America. When the proposed combination is completed, LAN will be the holding company of the combined companies and will change its name to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.” (“LATAM”). The proposed combination will be implemented through a delisting exchange offer to be made in the United States and in Brazil to acquire all of the outstanding voting common shares of TAM (“TAM common shares”), non-voting preferred shares of TAM (“TAM preferred shares and collectively with the TAM common shares, the “TAM shares”) and American Depositary Shares representing TAM shares (“TAM ADSs”), in each case other than any such shares owned indirectly by the TAM controlling shareholders (as defined below), and other mergers and corporate restructuring transactions described under “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Proposed Combination with TAM”, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions of the implementation agreement and the exchange offer agreement entered into on January 18, 2011 (the “transaction agreements”) by LAN, TAM, the controlling shareholders of LAN under Chilean law (Costa Verde Aeronáutica S.A. and Inversiones Mineras del Cantábrico S.A., which we refer to individually as “Costa Verde Aeronáutica” and “Mineras del Cantábrico,” respectively and collectively as the “LAN controlling shareholders”), the controlling shareholders of TAM under Brazilian law (Noemy Almeida Oliveira Amaro, Maria Cláudia Oliveira Amaro, Maurício Rolim Amaro and João Francisco Amaro, whom we refer to collectively as the “TAM controlling shareholders”), and TAM Empreendimentos e Participações S.A., a company through which the TAM controlling shareholders held their TAM shares (as defined below) at that time ( “TEP”). The commencement of the exchange offer is subject to certain conditions set forth in the transaction agreements as described under “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Conditions for the Commencement of the Exchange Offer”, including receipt of all required regulatory approvals (including the required approvals from theComissão de Valores Mobiliários(“CVM”), theSuperintendencia de Valores y Seguros (the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor) (“SVS”), and the SEC. In addition, approval of the proposed combination by our shareholders is subject to the rendering of a final decision by the Chilean Supreme Court on our appeal of the mitigation measures imposed by theTribunal de Defensa de la Competencia (Chilean Free Competition Defense Court) (“TDLC”) in connection to the proposed combination with TAM. The completion of the exchange offer is also subject to certain conditions set forth in the transaction agreements as described under “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer,” including the following:

Delisting Condition

The number of qualifying minority shares that are held by “agreeing shareholders” must be more than 66 2/3% of the total number of qualifying minority shares that are held by agreeing shareholders and disagreeing shareholders (this is the minimum threshold required to cause the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM and the delisting of TAM shares from the BM&FBovespa (“Bovespa”).

A holder will be deemed to be an “agreeing shareholder” with respect to its qualifying minority shares only if such holder:

validly tenders such qualifying minority shares into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and does not withdraw such shares from the exchange offer; or

qualifies such qualifying minority shares for participation in the auction to be held on Bovespa (the “Auction”) and:

tenders such shares into, and does not withdraw them from, the Auction; and/or

indicates on the qualification form (a copy of which will be included with the letter of transmittal mailed to holders of TAM shares in connection with the exchange offer) that it agrees with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM.

A holder will be deemed to be a “disagreeing shareholder” with respect to its qualifying minority shares only if such holder:

validly tenders such qualifying minority shares into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and subsequently withdraws such shares from the exchange offer; or

qualifies such qualifying minority shares for participation in the Auction and:

does not tender such shares in the Auction; and/or

indicates on the qualification form (a copy of which will be included with the letter of transmittal) that it disagrees with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM.

For purposes of the delisting condition, “qualifying minority shares” mean all outstanding TAM shares not represented by TAM ADSs and all outstanding TAM ADSs, in each case that are not owned by TAM, the TAM controlling shareholders, any of their related persons (“pessoas vinculadas”) or any director or executive officer of TAM.

The delisting condition will not be waivable under Brazilian law, so if the delisting condition is not satisfied, the exchange offer will terminate and the mergers will not be completed.

Squeeze-Out Condition

The sum of (i) the number of TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer and (ii) the number of TAM shares beneficially owned by the TAM controlling shareholders (which represented approximately 46.63% of the outstanding TAM shares as of March 28, 2012), represents more than 95% of the total number of outstanding TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) (this is the minimum acquisition threshold required under applicable Brazilian law to give TAM the right to compulsorily redeem any TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) not owned by LAN or Holdco I S.A. (“Holdco I”) after completion of the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions described under “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements”); and

The absence of certain actions, events or circumstances that, individually or in the aggregate, have had an adverse effect on the businesses, revenues, operations or financial condition of TAM and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in all material respects.

Certain of these conditions may not be waived without written agreement of both LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders, and neither LAN nor the TAM controlling shareholders has any obligation to waive any conditions not satisfied on or prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. Therefore, even if we are willing to waive an unsatisfied condition, we may be unable to complete the exchange offer if the TAM controlling shareholders refuse to waive the condition. In addition, the obligation of the TAM controlling shareholders under the transaction agreements to contribute their TAM shares into the proposed combination prior to the completion of the exchange offer is subject to certain conditions relating to the operations and business of LAN and certain events outside of our control. Payment of such subscriptions is a condition to the completion of the exchange offer. If any of these conditions is not satisfied or waived, the exchange offer and mergers will not be completed.TAM

If the squeeze-out condition is not satisfied and we waive this condition, weLATAM Airlines Group may be unable to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed combination

If the squeeze-out condition is not satisfied and we waive this condition, TAM will not be permitted under Brazilian law to compulsorily redeem any TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were not acquired in the exchange offer and the mergers unless LAN later acquires a sufficient number of TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) so as to allow TAM to compulsorily redeem the remaining outstanding TAM shares and TAM ADSs pursuant to Brazilian law. Depending on the quantity of minority shareholders remaining after completion of the exchange offer and the mergers, their existence may limit LATAM’s ability to combine the businesses and operations of LAN and TAM, which could adversely affect the combined companies’ ability to realize the potential benefits and cost savings from combining these businesses. Failure to fully realize these potential benefits and any temporary or permanent delay in integrating the businesses and operations of these two companies, could adversely affect the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of the combined companies after the completion of the proposed combination.

The final decision by the Chilean Supreme Court in connection with the mitigation measures imposed by the Chilean Free Competition Defense Court may not be rendered on time

Before the proposed combination of LAN and TAM may be completed, the final decision of the Chilean Supreme Court with respect to the appeal filed by

In June 2012, LAN seeking the amendment or elimination of three of the conditions set forth in the decision issued by the TDLC with respect to the proposed combination with TAM, has been rendered. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Proposed Combination with TAM” and “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Conditions to Commencement of the Exchange Offer”, for a discussion of the status of the Company’s appeal. A final decision by the Chilean Supreme Court with respect to the appeal is expected by the Company in the next month, but there can be no assurance that the decision will be obtained within the expected time frame, or that the decision will not prevent the transaction to go forward. If the final decision of the Chilean Supreme Court is not rendered by the expected time frame, and this situation is not waived by the parties to the transactions agreements, the exchange offer and mergers will not be completed.

Any delay in completing the proposed combination may reduce or eliminate the benefits we expect to be achieved as a result of the proposed combination

The proposed combination is subject to a number of other conditions beyond our control that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect its completion. We cannot predict whether or when these other conditions will be satisfied. Any delay in completing the proposed combination could cause the combined companies not to realize some or all of the synergies that we expect to achieve if the proposed combination is successfully completed within its expected time frame.

Failure to complete the proposed combination could negatively impact our stock price and future business and financial results

If the proposed combination is not completed, our ongoing businesses may be adversely affected, and we would be subject to several risks, including the following:

being required to pay a termination fee to TAM of $200 million and reimburse of TAM’s expenses under certain circumstances provided in the transaction agreements;

having to pay certain costs relating to the proposed combination, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor and printing fees; and

having had our management focus on the proposed combination instead of pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us.

If the proposed combination is not completed, we cannot assure our stockholders that these risks will not materialize and will not materially adversely affect our business, financial results and stock price.

The transaction agreements contain provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of LAN

The transaction agreements require our board of directors to recommend that its shareholders approve the proposed combination and does not permit our board of directors to withdraw or adversely modify those recommendations. The transaction agreements also contains “no shop” provisions that prohibit us from soliciting, initiating or encouraging any competing third party proposals, including acquisitions of our equity securities or material assets, and there are no exceptions to these provisions. In addition, if the transaction agreements are terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay to TAM a termination fee of $200 million and to reimburse TAM for expenses incurred by TAM in connection with the transaction agreements and the proposed combination. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements” and “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—The Transaction Agreements—Termination”. These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of LAN from considering or proposing that acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a value per share higher than the benefits LAN shareholders may receive from the proposed combination, or might result in a potential third-party acquiror proposing to pay a lower price to the LAN shareholders than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the $200 million termination fee and expense reimbursement that may become payable in certain circumstances.

The fairness opinion obtained by our board of directors from our financial advisor will not reflect changes in circumstances between signing the transaction agreements and the completion of the proposed combination

While our board of directors received an initial fairness opinion from J.P. Morgan, our financial advisor, before we entered into the transaction agreements (the “Initial JPM Opinion”), and a supplemental fairness opinion, dated November 11, 2011 (the “Supplemental JPM Opinion”), we have not obtained an updated fairness opinion as of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F. Changes in our operations and prospects and those of TAM, general market and economic conditions and other factors which may be beyond our control and on which the fairness opinions were based may alter the value of LAN or TAM and/or the prices of our common shares and/or the TAM shares by the time the proposed combination is completed. The Initial JPM Opinion and the Supplemental JPM speak only as of the date of such opinions and not as of the time the proposed combination will be completed or as of any other date. Because we do not anticipate asking our financial advisor to further update its fairness opinion, neither the Initial JPM Opinion nor the Supplemental JPM Opinion address the fairness of the exchange ratios in the exchange offer, from a financial point of view, to us at the time the proposed combination will be completed.

Resales of LAN shares issued in the mergers may cause the market price of such shares to fall

As of March 28, 2012, 340,977,309 LAN shares were issued and outstanding (of which 33.84% were beneficially owned by the LAN controlling shareholders) and 1,216,251 LAN shares were subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding options and other rights to purchase such shares. In the mergers, LAN expects to issue a significant amount of LAN shares in the form of LAN American Depositary Shares (“LAN ADSs”) and LAN Brazilian Depositary Shares (“LAN BDSs”) to the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs in exchange for their TAM shares or TAM ADSs, although the actual number of LAN shares issued will depend on the extent to which holders of such TAM shares and TAM ADSs elect to tender their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into the exchange offer and the number of vested stock options and other rights to acquire TAM shares that are exercised before the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers. If all holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs, other than the TAM controlling shareholders, validly tender all of their TAM shares and/or TAM ADSs into, and do not withdraw them from, the exchange offer, the TAM controlling shareholders contribute all of their TAM shares into the proposedcompleted its business combination, and no TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) or LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs) are issued after the date of the exchange offer other than the LAN common shareswhich has required significant efforts in order to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers which will be represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs, then LAN will issue a total of 140,586,107 LAN common shares in connection with the exchange offer and the mergers and immediately after the effective time of the mergers, the issued and outstanding LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs but excluding those reserved under stock option plans) will be owned approximately as follows: 13.62% of such LAN shares will be held by the TAM controlling shareholders, 15.59% of such LAN shares will be held by the holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs other than the TAM controlling shareholders, 23.97% of such LAN shares will be held by the LAN controlling shareholders and 46.82% of such LAN shares will be held by the holders of LAN shares other than the LAN controlling shareholders. If there are substantial sales of the newly issued LAN shares shortly after the effective time of the mergers, this could adversely affect the market for, and the market price of, the LAN common shares, the LAN ADSs and the LAN BDSs.

Risks Relating to the Combination of LAN and TAM

LAN may be unable to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed combination

After completion of the proposed combination, LAN will change its name to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.” The proposed combination involves bringing together two large and complex businesses that currently operate as independent public companies. LAN will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating certain aspects of theintegrate both business practices and operations of LAN and TAM.operations. The success of the proposed combination will depend, in part, on LAN’sthe ability of LATAM Airlines Group to realize anticipated revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities by combining the businesses of LAN and TAM. LAN hopes to generate synergies resulting from the consolidation of capabilities, rationalization of operations and headcount, greater efficiencies from increased scale and market integration, new product and service offerings and organic growth. There is a risk, however, that LANLATAM Airlines Group may not be able to combine the businesses of LAN and TAM in a manner that permits LANLATAM Airlines Group to realize these revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities in the time, manner or amounts LAN currently expects or at all.it expects. Potential difficulties LAN may encounter as part ofinclude the integration process include, among other things:

the inability to successfully combine the businesses of LAN and TAM in a manner that permits LAN to achieve the full revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities anticipated to result from the proposed combination;

complexitiesincreased complexity associated with managing the combined companies;

both companies, the need to implement, integrate and harmonize various business-specific operating procedures and systems, as well as the financial, accounting, information and other systems of LAN and TAM;

potential loss of key employees, as a result of implementingcoordination, and potential unknown liabilitites and one-time costs related to the proposed combination;

business combination. In addition, the need to coordinate the existing products and customer bases offact that LAN and TAM; and

potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the exchange offer, the mergers and the other combination transactions, including one-time cash costs to complete and implement the proposed combination that may exceed the one-time cash costs that LAN currently anticipates.

In addition, LAN and TAM have operated and, until the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers, will continue to operate under their existing separatewith different airline certificates. It is possible thatcertificates may introduce other complexities in terms of the integration process could result in:

diversion of management’s attention from their normal areas of responsibility to address integration issues;attention; and

the disruption of, or the loss of momentum in, each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in its standards, controls procedures and policies,

each of which could adversely affect each company’s ability to maintain good relationships with its customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies, or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the proposed combination, and could increase costs or reduce each company’s earnings or otherwise adversely affect the businesses, financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects of the combined companies following the completion of the exchange offer and the mergers.procedures,

Actual revenue synergies, cost savings, growth opportunities and efficiency and operational benefits that result from the proposed combination may be lower and may take a longer time to achieve than LAN currently expects.

The integration of two large companies also presents significant management challenges. In order to achieve the anticipated benefits of the proposed combination, the operations of the two companies will need to be reorganized and their resources will need to be combined in a timely and flexible manner. There can be no assurance that LAN will be able to implement these steps as anticipated or at all. If LANLATAM fails to achieve the planned restructuring effectively within the time frame that is currently contemplated or to the extent that is currently planned, or if for any other reason the expected revenue synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities fail to materialize, the exchange offer, the mergers and the other combination transactions described in this annual report may not produce the benefits LAN currentlyLATAM anticipates. As of December 2013 the merged company has established numerous initiatives in order to integrate both companies and generate the estimated synergies, but we cannot assure you that these initiatives will be successful.

LANLATAM has incurred and will continue to incur significant costs and expenses in connection with the proposed combination and integration of the business operations of LAN and TAM

LANLATAM has incurred and will continue to incur substantial expenses in connection with the proposed combination and the integration of LAN and TAM. LANIn 2012 and 2013, LATAM incurred approximately US$1559.2 and US$56.0 million, inrespectively, of non-recurring expenses in connection with the proposedbusiness combination in 2011, and expectsintegration of LAN and TAM, principally relating to incur US$25 million in such expenses in 2012. Significant costsconsulting fees and expenses have been and are being incurred related to the exchange offer, the mergers and the other transactions.travel expenses. These costs and expenses includeincluded financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees and expenses, reorganization and restructuring costs, severance/employee benefit-related expenses, filing fees, printing expenses and other related charges. Some of these costs are payable by LAN and TAM depending on the nature of the expense and regardless of whether the proposed combination is completed. There are also a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the proposed combination. While bothAny delay in the integration of the business operations of LAN and TAM have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred in connection with these transactions, there are manyor factors beyond LAN’s and TAM’sLATAM’s control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration and implementation expenses.

There may also beIf additional unanticipated significant costs are incurred in connection with the proposed combination that LAN may not recoup. Theseor integration of these businesses, such costs and expenses could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that LANLATAM expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale, other efficiencies and cost savings. Although LANLATAM expects that theseto achieve savings willand economies of scale sufficient to offset these integration and implementation costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all.

LAN willLATAM does not control the voting shares or board of directors of TAM

After completionFollowing the combination of the exchange offer, the mergersLAN and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements:TAM:

 

Holdco I will ownowns 100% of the TAM common shares previously outstanding;

TEP Chile S.A., a Chilean company that were:

The TAM controlling shareholders will own at least 80%Controlling Shareholders (“TEP Chile”), owns approximately 80.58% of the outstanding Holdco I voting shares and LAN will own no more than 20% ofowns the remaining outstanding Holdco I voting shares, due to a Brazilian restriction that prohibits non-Brazilians to ownfrom owning more than 20% of a Brazilian airline, and

As a result of this ownership structure:

TAM.

LAN, the TAM controlling shareholdersLATAM and TEP Chile and other parties have entered into shareholdersshareholders’ agreements that establish agreements and restrictions relating to corporate governance in an attempt to balance LAN’sLATAM’s interests, as the owner of substantially all of the economic rights in TAM, and the TAM controlling shareholders, as the continuing controlling shareholders of TAM under Brazilian law, by prohibitinglaw. See “Item 7. Controlling Shareholders and Related Party Transactions A. Major Shareholders—Shareholders’ Agreements.” These shareholders’ agreements prohibit the taking of certain specified material corporate actions and decisions without prior supermajority approval of the shareholders (5/6 of the total of the shareholders) and/or the board of directors of Holdco I or TAM. However, no assurances can be given that LANLATAM and the TAM controlling shareholders will be able to reach an agreement with respect to such supermajority voting or board matters in the future and if they do not, the businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the combined companies could be adversely affected. In addition, pursuant to these shareholder agreements, neither Holdco I, TAM nor TAM’s subsidiaries may take certain actions without the prior approval of a supermajority of the board of directors and/or the shareholders of Holdco I or TAM. As a result of these supermajority requirements, these actions will effectively require the prior approval of both LANLATAM and TEP Chile S.A. (“TEP Chile”) (which will beis wholly owned by the TAM controlling shareholders). Actions requiring supermajority approval by the board of directors of Holdco I or TAM include, among others, entering into acquisitions or business collaborations, amending or approving budgets, business plans, financial statements and accounting policies, incurring indebtedness, encumbering assets, entering into certain agreements, making certain investments, modifying rights or claims, entering into settlements, appointing executives, creating security interests, issuing, redeeming or repurchasing securities and voting on matters as a shareholder of subsidiaries of TAM. Actions requiring supermajority shareholder approval of Holdco I or TAM include, among others, certain changes to the by-laws of Holdco I, TAM or TAM’s subsidiaries or any dissolution/liquidation, corporate reorganization, payment of dividends, issuance of securities, disposal or encumbrance of certain assets, creation of securities interest or entering into guarantees and agreements with related parties.

Uncertainties associated with the proposed combination may causeOur assets include a losssignificant amount of management personnel and other key employees that could adversely affect LAN, TAM and/or the combined companiesgoodwill.

The successassets of the proposed combinationLATAM Airlines Group included US$3,728 million of goodwill as of December 31, 2013, US$3,564 million of which results from the merger with TAM. Under IFRS, goodwill is dependent, in part, on the experiencesubject to an annual impairment test and industry knowledge of their senior management and other key employees of LAN and TAM and their ability to execute their business plans. In ordermay be required to be successful, LAN, TAM and the combined companies must be able to retain the senior management and other key employees and their ability to attract highly qualified personneltested more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Any impairment could result in the future. Currentrecognition of a significant charge to earnings in LATAM’s statement of income, which could materially and prospective employees of LAN and TAM may experience uncertainty about their roles within LATAM following completion ofadversely impact our consolidated results for the proposed combination, which may have an adverse effect on the ability of LAN, TAM or the combined companies to retain or attract senior management and other key employees. Competition for highly qualified personnel in the various localities and business segmentsperiod in which LAN and TAM operate, is intense. No assurances can be given that LAN and TAM or, after completion of the proposed combination, the combined companies will be able to retain or attract senior management and other key employees to the same extent that LAN and TAM have previously been able to do so.impairment occurs.

The financial results of LATAM will beare more exposed to foreign currency fluctuations following the combination with TAM.

The financial results of LATAM are more exposed to currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of the proposed combination with TAM and the resulting increase in the proportion of its assets, liabilities and earnings that are denominated in currencies other than US dollarsU.S. dollars.

LATAM will prepareprepares and presentpresents its consolidated financial statements in US dollars.U.S. dollars, which was the functional and presentation currency of LAN. The proposed combination willof LAN and TAM has significantly increaseincreases the proportion of LAN’sLATAM’s consolidated net assets, revenues and income in non-USnon-U.S. dollar currencies, primarily Chileanpesos and Brazilianrealreais. In particular, the majority of TAM’s revenues are denominated in Brazilian reais, while a significant portion of its operating expenses are denominated in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar or other foreign currencies. The consolidated financial condition and results of operations of LATAM will therefore be more sensitive to movements in exchange rates between the USU.S. dollar and other currencies. A depreciation of non-USnon-U.S. dollar currencies relative to the USU.S. dollar could have an adverse impact on the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of LATAM.

LATAM’s future results will suffer if it cannot effectively manage its expanded operations following completion of the proposed combination

Following the completion of the proposed combination, the size of the business of the combined companies will be significantly larger and more complex than the current business of LANFitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) lowered LATAM’s credit rating. This downgrade, or TAM. LAN’s future success will depend, in part, on LAN’s ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including those related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that LATAM will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue synergies and other benefits currently anticipated by LAN and TAMfurther downgrades from the proposed combination.

The proposed combination could cause a downgrade of LAN’s credit ratings, whichsecurities rating agencies, could have a negative effect on LAN’s business

Prior to the combination, TAM currently hashad a lower credit rating and iswas more leveraged than LAN. As a resultFollowing the combination, Fitch Ratings Inc. downgraded LATAM Airlines Group S.A.’s long-term foreign currency issuer default rating from BBB to BB+, which is below investment grade. Later, on May 3, 2013, Fitch downgraded LATAM’s rating again, to BB, citing the Company’s operational performance and the deterioration of the proposed combination, LAN’s credit rating could be downgraded by one or more creditits capital structure. The Fitch downgrade and any further securities rating agencies whichdowngrades could increase LATAM’s financing costs and affect LATAM’s ability to finance future fleet acquisitions and could adversely affect the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the combined companies. If LAN’s credit rating is downgraded, it could affect LAN’s ability to finance future fleet acquisitions and/or increase LAN’s financing costs.

It may take time to combine the frequent flyer programs of LAN and TAM

LAN and TAM each currently runpreviously ran their own frequent flyer programs. While LAN intends to integrateLATAM has integrated these programs so that passengers can use frequent flyer miles earned with either LAN or TAM interchangeably, there is no guarantee that thisfull integration will be completed in the near term or at all. Even if the integration occurs, the successful integration of these programs will involve some time and expense. Until LANLATAM effectively combines these programs, passengers may prefer frequent flyer programs offered by other airlines, which may adversely affect our business.

LATAM will have to withdraw from an existing airline alliance to which LAN or TAM belongs

LAN is currentlyhas left the Star Alliance and become a member of the oneworldoneworld® airline alliance whilealliance. This change could adversely affect LATAM’s business if clients prefer other alliances.

LATAM announced on March 5, 2013 that TAM iswill leave Star Alliance and become a member ofoneworld® airline alliance. On October 1, 2013 LATAM ratifiedoneworld® as the global alliance for its airline members. With this decision, TAM left Star Alliance airline alliance. Although LANon March 30, 2014 and TAM will continue operating under their existing separate operating certificates afterjoinedoneworld® on March 31, 2014, complying with the proposed combination, due to conditionsrequirement imposed on LATAM by the Chilean and Brazilian antitrust regulators, LAN and TAM may not participateauthorities in more than one airline alliance afterconnection with the end of the 24-month period following completion of the proposed combination. LAN and TAM are currently evaluating and have not decided yet to which airline alliance they will belong after the completion of the proposed combination with TAM. The withdrawal from one of the alliances after the proposed combinationStar Alliance may impede LATAM from providing customers with exactly the same benefits currentlypreviously provided by LAN and TAM, such as the same travel destinations, combined reservation system, itinerary flexibility, among others. As a result, passengers may prefer alliances offered by LATAM’s competitors, and consequently decide to fly with them, which may adversely affect LATAM’s business.

Risks Related to our Operations and the Airline Industry

Our performance is heavily dependent on economic conditions in the countries in which we do business and negative economic conditions in those countries could have an adverse impact on our business.

Passenger and cargo demand is heavily cyclical and highly dependent on global and local economic growth, economic expectations and foreign exchange rate variations, among other things. In the past, our business has been negatively affected by global economic recessionary conditions, weak economic growth in Chile, recession in Argentina and poor economic performance in certain emerging market countries in which we operate. The occurrence of similar events in the future could adversely affect our business. In fact, starting as of late 2008, and during 2009, many of the countries we serve, including Chile, experienced economic slowdowns or recessions, which translated into a substantial weakening of passenger and cargo demand. We plan to continue to expand our operations based in Latin America and our performance will, therefore, continue to depend heavily on economic conditions in the region. Any of the following factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in the countries in which we operate:

 

changes in economic or other governmental policies;

 

weak economic performance, including, but not limited to, low economic growth, low consumption and/or investment rates, and increased inflation rates; or

 

other political or economic developments over which we have no control.

Driven by the severe downturn in the global economy, including in the economies of many of the countries we serve, we began to experience weakening demand in cargo late in 2008, and this weak demand continued into 2009. However, we began to experience a recovery in cargo traffic in late 2009, which continued improving during 2010 and 2011. If the regional economic environment continues its positive performance, demand in cargo may continue to grow during the current year. No assurance can be given that capacity reductions or other steps we may take in response to weakened demand will be adequate to offset any future reduction in our cargo and/or air travel demand. Sustained weakened demand may adversely impact our revenues, results of operations or financial condition.

The success of ourOur business depends upon keyis highly regulated and changes in the regulatory issues and these issuesenvironmental in which we operate may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our business is highly regulated and depends substantially upon the regulatory environment in the countries in which we operate or intend to operate. For example, price controls on fares may limit our ability to effectively apply customer segmentation profit maximization techniques (“passenger revenue management”) (management techniques utilizing passenger demand forecasting and fare mix optimization techniques to maximize profit for an airline) and adjust prices to reflect cost pressures. High levels of government regulation may limit the scope of our operations and our growth plans, especially in the event of deterioration of the relations between the countries in which we operate or the public perception of foreign companies in local markets. Accordingly, regulatory issues could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if we or certain aviation authorities (among them, those from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Colombia andin the United States)countries served by our airlines fail to maintain the required foreign and domestic governmental authorizations. In order to maintain the necessary authorizations issued by the ChileanJunta Aeronáutica Civil(“JAC”) and technical operative authorizations issued by the ChileanDirección General de Aeronáutica Civil(“DGAC”), and other corresponding local authorities of the countries in which we operate, we must continue to comply with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

We depend on strategic alliances or commercial relationships in many of the countries in which we operate and our business may suffer if any of our strategic alliances or commercial relationships terminates.

In many of the jurisdictions in which we operate, we have found it in our interest to maintain a number of alliances and other commercial relationships. These alliances or commercial relationships allow us to enhance our network and, in some cases, to offer our customers services that we could not otherwise offer. If any of our strategic alliances or commercial relationships and, in particular, with American Airlines, Iberia, Qantas oroneworldoneworld®, Japan Airlines, Korean Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Alaska Airlines deteriorates, or any of these agreements are terminated, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected.

Our business and results of operation may suffer if we fail to obtain and maintain routes, suitable airport access, slots and other operating permits.

Our business depends upon our access to key routes and airports. Our operations could be constrained by any delay or inability to gain access to key routes or airports, including:

 

limitations on our ability to process more passengers;

 

the imposition of flight capacity restrictions;

 

the inability to secure or maintain route rights in local markets or under bilateral agreements; or

 

the inability to maintain our existing slots and obtain additional slots.

We operate numerous international routes, subject to bilateral agreements, and also internal flights within Chile, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, PeruEcuador, Colombia and other countries, subject to local route and airport access approvals. Bilateral aviation agreements as well as local aviation approvals frequently involve political and other considerations outside of our control. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Regulation—Route Rights”.Regulation.”

There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between the countries in which our companies are based and permits from foreign governments will continue. A modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The suspension of our permission to operate in certain airports or destinations or the imposition of other sanctions could also have a material adverse effect. We cannot assure that aA change in a foreign government’sthe administration of current laws and regulations or that the adoption of new laws and regulations will notin any of the countries in which we operate that restricts our route, airport or other access may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to obtain favorable take-off and landing authorizations at certain high-density airports, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain all requested authorizations and slots in the future because, among other factors, government policies regulating the distribution of the authorizations and slots are subject to change.

A failure to successfully implement our growth strategy would harm our business and the market value of the ADSs and our common shares.

Our growth strategy involves increasing the frequency of flights to the markets we currently serve and expanding our service to new markets. In order to carry out this strategy, we must be able to identify the appropriate geographic markets upon which to focus and to gain suitable airport access and route approval in these markets. There can be no assurance that the new markets we enter or in which we are seeking to expand our operations will provide passenger and cargo traffic that is sufficient to make our operations in those new markets profitable.

The expansion of our business will also require additional skilled personnel, equipment and facilities. An inability to hire and retain skilled personnel or secure the required equipment and facilities efficiently and cost-effectively may adversely affect our ability to execute our growth strategy. Expansion of our markets and flight frequencies may also strain our existing management resources and operational, financial and management information systems to the point that they may no longer be adequate to support our operations, requiring us to make significant expenditures in these areas.

Our business may be adversely affected by a downturn in the airline industry caused by exogenous events that affect travel behavior or increase costs, such as outbreak of disease, weather conditions and natural disasters, war or terrorist attacks.

Demand for air transportation may be adversely impacted by exogenous events, such as adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, epidemics, terrorist attacks, war or political and social instability. Situations such as these in one or more of the markets in which we operate could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, these types of situations could have a prolonged effect on air transportation demand and on certain cost items.

Revenues for airlines depend on the number of passengers carried, the fare paid by each passenger and service factors, such as the timeliness of flight departures and arrivals. During periods of fog, ice, low temperatures, storms or other adverse weather conditions, some or all of our flights may be cancelled or significantly delayed, reducing our revenues. For example, in January 2010, bad weatherextreme floods affected the city of Cuzco in Peru, causing important human and material damage and severely affecting this tourist destination. This affected our operations, which led us to decrease our capacity in order to improve load factors. We estimateestimated the net impact of decreased passenger operations due to this weather event to have been approximately US$15.0 million.

In addition, on February 27, 2010, an earthquake struck Chile causing major damages mainly in the southern regions of the country. This earthquake damaged the terminal building at the Santiago International Airport causing the suspension of LAN’s passenger services to and from Chile until March 1, 2010. Lan Cargo’s2010 and reduced passenger operations suffered no impact since Lan Cargo has flexibility to redesign itineraries if and when needed. As ofuntil March 28, 2010, operations were restored to normal levels and the airport started to operate normally. As of December 31, 2010, we estimate2010. We estimated the net impact of decreased passenger operations due to the earthquake to have been approximately US$30 million.

In 2011, the Company was also impacted by the presence of volcanic ash on certain routes in Chile and other destinations, which we estimate resulted in US$36.6 million losses.in losses, in addition to forgone revenue.

As for year 2014, the World Cup in Brazil could affect adversely our normal operations. Increasing traffic to Brazil during the month of the event will create operational challenges and could result in increased delays. In addition, during the month of the event, we expect a strong decrease in corporate traffic, although we expect this decrease to be offset by an increase in leisure traffic, the net effect on our revenues and yields could be negative. Our LATAM Airlines brand could be damaged if we do not fully comply with our passenger’s requirements during that month or if infrastructure deficits at some of Brazil’s main airports that hinder our normal operations are associated with the Company.

Terrorist attacks may also have a severe adverse impact on the airline industry. For example, the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001 substantially affected the airline industry, particularly foreign air carriers operating international service to and from the United States. Throughout South America, passenger traffic also decreased substantially, although the decrease was less severe than that in the United States. The airline industry experienced increased costs following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Airlines have been required to adopt additional security measures and may be required to comply with more rigorous security guidelines in the future.

In addition, fuel prices and supplies, which constitute a significant cost for us, may increase as a result of any future terrorist attacks, a general increase in hostilities (for example, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine) or a reduction in output of fuel, voluntary or otherwise, by oil-producing countries. Such increases may result in both higher airline ticket prices and decreased demand for air travel generally, which could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations. Presently, there is a trend towards increases in jet fuel prices because of the increased demand caused by the 2010 recovery in the global economy coupled with conflicts during 2011 in Egypt and Libya that affected global fuel supply. It is impossible for us to predict if we will be able to fully protect ourselves against the volatility of fuel costs.

A significant portion of our cargo revenues comes from relatively few product types and may be impacted by events affecting their production or trade.

Our cargo demand, especially from Latin American exporters, is concentrated in a small number of product categories, such as exports or fish, and sea products and produce exports from Chile and Peru, and exports of fresh flowers from Ecuador and Colombia. Events that negatively affect the production or trade of these goods may adversely affect the volume of goods that we transport and may have a significant impact on our results of operations. Some of our cargo products are sensitive to foreign exchange rates and, therefore, traffic volumes could be impacted by the appreciation or depreciation of local currencies.

In mid 2007, there was an outbreak of infectious salmon anemia virus (“ISA Virus”) in Chile, which was temporarily contained during 2008 but has continued to affect exports since then. The outbreak of ISA Virus has caused, and may continue to cause, a significant decline in salmon exports and has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our cargo operations.

Our operations are subject to fluctuations in the supply and cost of jet fuel, which could negatively impact our business.

Higher jet fuel prices or a shortage in the supply of fuel could cause a reduction in our scheduled service and could have a materially negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Jet fuel costs have historically accounted for a significant amount of our operating expenses, and accounted for approximately 34%35% of our operating expenses in 2011.2013. Both the cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors and events that we can neither control nor predict. We have entered into fuel hedging arrangements, but there can be no assurance that such arrangements will be adequate to protect us from a significant increase in fuel prices in the near future or in the long term. Also, while these hedging arrangements are designed to limit the effect of an increase in fuel prices, some of our hedging methods may also limit our ability to take advantage of any decrease in fuel prices. Although we have implemented measures to pass a portion of incremental fuel costs to our customers, our ability to lessen the impact of any increase using these types of mechanisms may also be limited.

We rely on maintaining a high daily aircraft utilization rate to increase our revenues, which makes us especially vulnerable to delays.

One of the key elements of our business strategy is to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization rate, which measures the number of flight hours we use our aircraft per day. High daily aircraft utilization allows us to maximize the amount of revenue we generate from our aircraft and is achieved, in part, by reducing turnaround times at airports and developing schedules that enable us to increase the average hours flown per day. Our rate of aircraft utilization could be adversely affected by a number of different factors that are beyond our control, including air traffic and airport congestion, adverse weather conditions and delays by third-party service providers relating to matters such as fueling and ground handling.

Furthermore, high aircraft utilization rates increase the risk that, if an aircraft falls behind schedule, it could remain behind schedule for up to two days. Such delays could result in a disruption in our operating performance, leading to customer dissatisfaction due to any resulting delays or missed connections.

We fly and depend upon Airbus and Boeing aircraft, and our business is at risk if we do not receive timely deliveries of aircraft, if aircraft from these companies becomes unavailable or if the public negatively perceives our aircraft.

As our fleet has grown, our reliance on Airbus and Boeing has also grown. As of DecemberJanuary 31, 2011,2014, we operated a fleet of 81243 Airbus, 5472 Boeing and 147 Dash aircraft. These risks include:

 

our failure or inability to obtain Airbus or Boeing aircraft, parts or related support services on a timely basis because of high demand or other factors;

the interruption of fleet service as a result of unscheduled or unanticipated maintenance requirements for these aircraft;

 

the issuance by Chilean or other aviation authorities of other directives restricting or prohibiting the use of Airbus or Boeing aircraft, or requiring time-consuming inspections and maintenance;

 

the adverse public perception of a manufacturer as a result of an accident or other negative publicity; or

 

delays between the time we realize the need for new aircraft and the time it takes us to arrange for Airbus and Boeing or from a third-party provider to deliver this aircraft.

The occurrence of any one or more of these factors could restrict our ability to use aircraft to generate profits, respond to increased demands, or could otherwise limit our operations and adversely affect our business.

We are often affected by certain factors beyondhave invested in new Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” aircraft.

In 2012, LATAM received the first three Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, and became the first airline in the Americas (and one of the first in the world) to operate this modern and efficient aircraft. The incorporation of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners into our control, including weather conditions, which can affect our operations.

Revenues for airlines depend on the number of passengers carried, the fare paid by each passenger and service factors, such as the timeliness of flight departures and arrivals. During periods of fog, ice, low temperatures, storms or other adverse weather conditions, some or allfleet is part of our flights maystrategic objective to incorporate new, modern and fuel efficient aircraft into our existing fleet.

During January 2013, two incidents occurred with Boeing 787 aircraft operated by Japan Airlines, involving a fire risk to the battery of the aircraft. By recommendation of the FAA, LATAM ceased operations of its three Dreamliner aircraft in January 2013. On April 19, 2013, the FAA approved a solution proposed by Boeing to address the battery problems, and subject to the implementation of this corrective solution and approval from safety regulators, LATAM and other airline groups were able to resume operations with Dreamliner aircraft. As of May 2013, LATAM resumed normal operations of the Boeing 787. However, new problems could be cancelled or significantly delayed, reducingdiscovered that adversely affect the our revenues.ability to use the Boeing 787 in our operations.

Losses and liabilities in the event of an accident involving one or more of our aircraft could materially affect our business.

We are exposed to potential catastrophic losses in the event of an aircraft accident, terrorist incident or any other similar event. There can be no assurance that, as a result of an aircraft accident or significant incident:

 

we will not need to increase our insurance coverage;

 

our insurance premiums will not increase significantly;

 

our insurance coverage will fully cover all of our liability; or

 

we will not be forced to bear substantial losses.

Substantial claims resulting from an accident or significant incident in excess of our related insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, any aircraft accident, even if fully insured, could cause the negative public perception that our aircraft are less safe or reliable than those operated by other airlines, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Insurance premiums may also increase due to an accident or incident affecting one of our airline affiliates or alliance partners or affecting other airlines.

High levels of competition in the airline industry may adversely affect our level of operations.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by high levels of competition within the industry, particularly the entrance of new competitors into the markets in which we operate. Airlines compete primarily over fare levels, frequency and dependability of service, brand recognition, passenger amenities (such as frequent flyer programs) and the availability and convenience of other passenger or cargo services. New and existing airlines could enter our markets and compete with us on any of these bases. Several of our competitors are larger than us and havebases, including by offering lower prices, more attractive services or increasing their route capacities in an effort to gain greater brand recognition and greater resources than we do.market share. Competing carriers include investor-owned, government-subsidized and national flag carriers of foreign countries as well as low-cost carriers offering discounted fares. The U.S. -ChileU.S.-Chile and other open skies agreements may subject us to

further competition from international carriers. In addition, the Brazilian Government is considering raising the regulatory limitation on foreign capital investments in the Brazilian airline industry from 20% to 49% of voting capital, which could lower barriers to entry and increase competition in this market.

In addition to traditional competition among airline companies, we face competition from companies that provide ground transportation, especially in our domestic cargo and passenger businesses, as well as sea transportation for our cargo business. Competition could reduce our passenger traffic and cargo demand, forcing us to reduce our fare levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and level of operations.

Chile may open its domestic aviation industry to foreign airlines without restrictions, which may change the competitive landscape of the domestic Chilean aviation sector and affect our business and results of operations

Currently, Chilean laws and regulations permit foreign airlines to operate domestic flights in Chile. Nevertheless, the rules currently prevent foreign-based carriers from flying within Chile without setting up a Chilean subsidiary first. There are currently no foreign airlines participating in the Chilean domestic market. However, on January 18, 2012, both the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Economics of Chile announced steps towards unilaterally opening the Chilean domestic skies in the near term. Chilean Domestic Unilateral Open Skies Rule may change the competitive landscape of the Domestic Chilean Aviation Sector, as it will be easier for foreign companies in the future to freely operate in the Chilean territory, which may subject us to further competition. Competition from international carriers in the Chilean market may affect the competitive dynamics of our industry by reducing our passenger traffic and cargo demands, forcing us to reduce our fare levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and level of operations.

A recent proposal by the Brazilian government would result in the reallocation of certain takeoff and landing slots at Brazilian airports; if this proposal is enacted in its current form, it would reduce our access to important airport infrastructure and adversely affect our results of operations.

The Brazilian government has proposed, but has not yet implemented, regulations to reallocate existing takeoff and landing slots at major airports in Brazil from TAM and our competitor, GOL, to smaller airlines and new market entrants, in order to stimulate small airline access to airport infrastructure. These proposed regulations also focus on operational efficiency, and require airlines to meet specified punctuality and frequency benchmarks. We rely on access to takeoff and landing slots at the Guarulhos and Congonhas airports in Sao Paolo, as well as other major airports in Rio de Janeiro and throughout Brazil, to conduct our Brazilian passenger operations. The reallocation of any of our slots to other market participants could adversely affect our operations, particularly at the Congonhas airport where we currently utilize almost half of the existing slots to service our scheduled capacity.

Some of our competitors may receive external support which could negatively impact our competitive position.

Some of our competitors may receive support from external sources, such as their national governments, which may be unavailable to us. Support may include, among others, subsidies, financial aid or tax waivers. This support could place us at a competitive disadvantage and adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

If we are unable to incorporate leased aircraft into our fleet at acceptable rates and terms in the future, our business could be adversely affected.

A large portion of our aircraft areis subject to long-term operating leases. Our operating leases typically run from three to twelve years from the date of delivery. We may face more competition for, or a limited supply of, leased aircraft, making it difficult for us to negotiate on competitive terms upon expiration of our current operating leases or to lease additional capacity required for our targeted level of operations. If we are forced to pay higher lease rates in the future to maintain our capacity and the number of aircraft in our fleet, our profitability could be adversely affected.

We are incorporating various new technologies and equipment and their phase-in may have a negative impact on our service and operating standards.

In recent years we have decided to incorporate a number of new aircraft, equipment and systems. The decision to incorporate these new elements has been based on their potential to enhance customer satisfaction, increase efficiency and/or streamline processes. However, the phase-in of these elements may temporarily result in lower service and operating standards, which could affect how our customers perceive us and have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to meet our significant future financing requirements.

We require significant amounts of financing to meet our aircraft capital requirements and may require additional financing to fund our other business needs. We cannot guarantee that we will have access to or be able to arrange for financing in the future on favorable terms. If we are unable to obtain financing for a significant portion of our capital requirements, our ability to acquire new aircraft or to expand operations could be impaired and our business negatively affected.

Our business may be adversely affected by our high degree of debt and aircraft lease obligations compared to our equity capital.

We have a high degree of debt and payment obligations under our aircraft operating leases compared to equity capital. In order to finance our debt, we depend in part on our cash flow from operations. In the combination of LAN and TAM, the LATAM Airlines Group assumed debt and payment obligations, including under aircraft lease obligations, of TAM, and as a result we have significantly increased our leverage. We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to meet our payment obligations. In addition, the majority of our property and equipment is subject to liens securing our indebtedness. In the event that we fail to make payments on the secured indebtedness, creditors’ enforcement of liens could limit or end our ability to use the affected property and equipment to fulfill our operational needs and thus generate revenue.

Variations in interest rates may have adverse effects on our interest payments business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the trading price of our ADRs and BDRs and preferred shares.

We are exposed to the risk of interest rate variations, principally in relation to the U.S. dollar London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”), as well as the Long Term Interest Rate (Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo, or TJLP), with respect to TAM’s loans denominated in reais. Many of our operating and financial leases are denominated in U.S. dollars and bear interest at a floating rate. Following the combination of LAN and TAM, LATAM is more exposed to fluctuations of interest rates, as more than half of TAM’s outstanding debt, principally, its financial leases, as well as its operating leases, bears interest at a floating rate. Approximately 30% of LATAM’s outstanding debt as of December 31, 2013 bears interest at a floating rate. Out of this floating rate debt, 19% is hedged to a fixed rate using derivative instruments.

Volatility in LIBOR or the TJLP could increase our periodic interest and lease payments and have an adverse effect on our total financing costs. We may be unable to adequately adjust our prices to offset any increased financing costs, which would have an adverse effect on our revenues and our results of operations.

In addition, concerns have been expressed that some of the member banks surveyed by the British Bankers’ Association (the “BBA”) in connection with the calculation of LIBOR rates may have been under-reporting the interbank lending rates applicable to them in order to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse reputational or other consequences that may result from reporting higher interbank lending rates. Some member banks have admitted to under-reporting, and under-reporting may have resulted in LIBOR rates being artificially low. The BBA in June 2008 announced changes to the LIBOR rate-fixing process including tighter scrutiny of rates contributed by member banks into the rate-fixing mechanism and increasing the number of institutions surveyed to set LIBOR rates, and is continuing its consideration of ways to strengthen the oversight of the rate calculation process. On July 9, 2013, it was reported that NYSE Euronext had been awarded the contract to administer LIBOR beginning in 2014. It is not possible to predict the effect of any changes in the methods pursuant to which LIBOR is determined, the administration of LIBOR by NYSE Euronext and any other reforms to LIBOR that will be enacted in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Uncertainty as to the nature of any potential changes in, or volatility in the calculation of, LIBOR may adversely affect our interest and lease payments for obligations which bear interest using LIBOR as a reference rate, including our fleet financing arrangements.

Increases in insurance costs and/or significant reductions in coverage could harm our financial condition and results of operations.

Major events affecting the aviation insurance industry (such as terrorist attacks, hijackings or airline crashes) may result in significant increases of the airlines’ insurance premium or in significant decreases of insurance coverage, as it happenedoccurred after the 9/September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Increases in insurance costs and/or significant reductions in coverage could harm our financial condition and results of operations.operations and increases the risk that we experience uncovered losses.

Problems with air traffic control systems or other technical failures could interrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our operations, including our ability to deliver customer service, are dependent on the effective operation of our equipment, including our aircraft, maintenance systems and reservation systems. Our operations are also dependent on the effective operation of domestic and international air traffic control systems and the air traffic control infrastructure in the markets in which we operate. Equipment failures, personnel shortages, air traffic control problems and other factors that could interrupt operations could adversely affect our operations and financial results as well as our reputation.

Our financial success depends on the availability and performance of key personnel, who are not subject to non-competition restrictions.

Our success depends to a significant extent on the ability of our senior management team and key personnel to operate and manage our business effectively. Our employment agreements with key personnel do not contain any non-competition provisions applicable upon termination. Competition for highly qualified personnel is intense. If we lose any executive officer, senior manager or other key employee and are not able to obtain an adequate replacement, or if we are unable to attract and retain new qualified personnel, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our business may experience adverse consequences if we are unable to reach satisfactory collective bargaining agreements with our unionized employees.

Approximately 49%As of ourDecember 31, 2013 approximately 31% of LATAM’s employees, including administrative personnel, cabin crews, flight attendants, pilots and maintenance technicians are members of unions and have contracts and collective bargaining agreements which expire on a regular basis. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by a failure to reach agreement with any labor union representing such employees or by an agreement with a labor union that contains terms that are not in line with our expectations or that prevent us from competing effectively with other airlines.

PressureCollective action by employees could cause operating disruptions and negatively impact our business.

Certain employee groups such as pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and our airport personnel have highly specialized skills. As a consequence, actions by these groups, such as strikes, walk-outs or stoppages, could severely disrupt our operations and negatively impact our operating and financial performance, as well as how our customers perceive us.

For example, during the third quarter of 2001, members of one of our pilot unions implemented a series of actions that disrupted our services prior to the negotiation of their collective bargaining agreement, which had a negative impact on our operations and our profitability.

Increases in our labor costs, which constitute a substantial portion of our total operating costs,expenses, could directly impact our earnings.

Labor costs constitute a significant percentage of our total operating costs (19.6%expenses (20% in 2011),2013) and at times in our operating history we have experienced pressure to increase wages and benefits for our employees. A significant increase in our labor costs above the assumed costs could result in a material reduction in our earnings.

We may experience difficulty finding, training and retaining employees.

Our business is labor intensive. We employ a large number of pilots, flight attendants, maintenance technicians and other operating and administrative personnel. The airline industry has, from time to time, experienced a shortage of qualified personnel, specifically pilots and maintenance technicians. In addition, as is common with most of our competitors, we may, from time to time, face considerable turnover of our employees. Should the turnover of employees, particularly pilots and maintenance technicians, sharply increase, our training costs will be significantly higher. We cannot assure you that we will be able to recruit, train and retain the qualified employees that we need to continue our current operations or replace departing employees. A failure to hire and retain qualified employees at a reasonable cost could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

FailureThe regulatory structure of Brazilian civil aviation is undergoing change and we have not yet been able to complyevaluate the results of this change on our business and results of operations.

Scheduled air transportation services are considered public utilities in Brazil and are subject to extensive regulation by the Brazilian government. Over recent years, the Brazilian regulatory authorities have taken a more proactive role in monitoring the development of the Brazilian civil aviation market. For example, in an effort to prevent excess supply, the authorities have established rigorous criteria for air transport companies to follow when creating new routes or increasing flight frequencies.

Operation of air transportation services, as well as airport infrastructure, is an exclusive right of the Brazilian government, which may choose to provide these services directly or through third parties by means of concessions or permits. TAM’s concession to operate public air transportation was obtained on December 9, 1996 and renewed on December 9, 2011, and it is valid until December 9, 2021. We cannot assure you that we will be able to automatically renew TAM’s concession when it expires. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Regulation—Brazil—Aeronautical Regulation.”

Additionally, our capacity to grow our Brazilian operations is dependent on receiving the necessary authorizations from ANAC and the Bureau of International Relations (Superintendência de Relações Internacionais, or “SRI”). We cannot assure you that we will obtain all necessary authorizations in the future and any failure to do so would require us to re-evaluate our strategies.

Our operations are subject to local, national and international environmental regulations; costs of compliance with applicable environmental regulations, or the consequences of noncompliance, could adversely affect our results, our business andor our reputation.

Our operations are covered by environmental regulations at local, national and international levels. These regulations cover, among other things, emissions to the atmosphere, disposal of solid waste and aqueous effluents, aircraft noise and other activities incident to our business. Future operations and financial results may vary as a result of such regulations. Compliance with these regulations and new or existing regulations that may be applicable to us in the future could increase our cost base and adversely affect our operations and financial results. In addition, failure to comply with these regulations could adversely affect us in a variety of ways, including adverse effects on our reputation.

The European Union (“EU”) has adopted a directive under which the existing emissions trading scheme (the “ETS”) in each EU member state is to be extended to airlines. This directive would require us to submit annual emission allowances in order to operate routes to and from EU member states. The ETS’s application to flights was scheduled to begin in 2012, however, its implementation

to international flights has been delayed by the EU and the EU did not collect allowances from airlines in 2013 (it was enforced only with respect to airlines that conducted intra-European flights during 2012). Although it is uncertain when and if the ETS will be implemented, it is increasingly likely that we will be required to participate in some form of an international aircraft emissions program in the future. Currently, we operate 6 routes to and from Europe, and service additional destinations through our code-share agreements. The cost of compliance with any international emissions program, including the ETS, is difficult to estimate; however, these costs could be significant and could require us to reduce our emissions, purchase allowances or otherwise pay for our emissions, which could have a significant impact on our operating costs or impact the frequency of our flights to and from EU member states.

Risks Related to Chile, Brazil and Other Emerging Market Countries in which we Operate

Developments in Latin American countries and other emerging market countries may adversely affect the Chilean economy, negatively impact our business and results of operations and cause the market price of our common shares and ADSs to decrease.

We conduct a significant portion of our operations in emerging market countries, particularly in Latin America. As a result, economic and political developments in these countries, including future economic crises and political instability, could impact the Chilean economy or the market value of our securities and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Beginning late 2008, and continuing during 2009, many of the countries we serve, including Chile, experienced economic slowdowns or recessions, which resulted in a substantial weakening of demand. Although economic conditions in other emerging market countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Chile, we cannot assure that events in other countries, particularly other emerging market countries, will not adversely affect the market value of, or market for, our common shares or ADSs.

Changes in the Chilean corporate tax rate or tax regime could adversely affect our financial results.

On December 2013, Ms. Bachelet won the Chilean Presidential elections with a healthy parliamentary majority. Ms Bachelet’s campaign proposed a raise in the Chilean corporate tax, which is currently at 20%. Such an increase, if implemented, would adversely affect the tax provision for Chilean companies, including LATAM, and would also require an adjustment in deferred taxes to reflect the higher tax rate. This change, as well as any other change in the Chilean tax regime, could adversely affect the financial results of the Company.

Fluctuations in the value of the Chilean peso, Brazilian real and other currencies in the countries in which we operate may adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

We operate in numerous countries and face the risk of variation in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar or between the currencies of these various countries. Changes in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar or other currencies in the countries in which we operate could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We operate in numerous countries and face the risk of variation in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar or between the currencies of these various countries. Approximately 99%75% of our indebtedness at December 31, 2011 is

2013 was denominated in U.S. dollars, 22%and 42% of our revenues and 47%60% of our operating expenses in 20112013 were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, mainly the Chilean peso.peso and the Brazilian real. If the value of the peso, or of other currencies in which revenues are denominated, declines against the U.S. dollar, we will need more pesos or other local currency to repay the same amount of U.S. dollars. The Chilean peso has experienced volatility in recent years, including an average nominal depreciationappreciation of 1.3%5.3% against the U.S. dollar in 2008,2011, an average nominal depreciation of 4.7%0.7% against the U.S. dollar in 2012 and an average nominal depreciation of 1.9% in 2013.

Following the combination of LAN and TAM, our exposure to the Brazilian real has increased, as a significant proportion of TAM’s revenues are denominated in reais. The Brazilian real has also experienced volatility and depreciated frequently over the past decade, including appreciation of 25.5% and 4.3% against the U.S. dollar in 2009 and an average nominal appreciation2010, respectively, a depreciation of 4.6%12.6% against the U.S. dollar in 2010.2011, a depreciation of 16.7% in 2012 and a depreciation of 10.4% in 2013. The exchange rate of the Chilean peso, Brazilian real and other currencies against the U.S. dollar may fluctuate significantly in the future. Changes in Chilean, Brazilian and other governmental economic policies affecting foreign exchange rates could also adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the return to our shareholders on their common shares or ADSs.

Exchange controls in Venezuela delay our ability to repatriate cash generated from operations in Venezuela. They also increase our exposure to exchange rate losses due to potential devaluations of the Venezuelan bolivarvis à vis the U.S. dollar during the period of time between the time we are paid in Venezuelan bolivares and the time we are able to repatriate such revenues in U.S. dollars. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Prospects A. Operating Results—LATAM’s Financial Results Discussion: Year ended December 31, 20112012 (actual) compared to year ended December 31, 2010—Cost2011 (actual).” As of Sales” and “—Year ended December 31, 2010 compared2013, the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar had a cash impact of US$11.0 million on our results.

The Brazilian government has exercised, and may continue to year ended December 31, 2009—Costexercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy, which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of Sales”.operations.

The Brazilian economy has been characterized by the significant involvement of the Brazilian government, which often changes monetary, credit, fiscal and other policies to influence Brazil’s economy. The Brazilian government’s actions to control inflation and implement other policies have involved wage and price controls, depreciation of the real, controls over remittance of funds abroad, intervention by the Central Bank to affect base interest rates and other measures. We have no control over, and cannot predict what measures or policies the Brazilian government may take in the future. Following the combination of LAN and TAM, our operations in Brazil have increased significantly. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and the trading price of our common shares and ADSs, may be adversely affected by changes in Brazilian governmental policies relating to Brazilian economic growth, inflation, interest rates, exchange control policies, fiscal policy and changes in tax law, liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets, government control of oil production activities and oil refinement and other general economic factors.

We are not required to disclose as much information to investors as a U.S. issuer is required to disclose and, as a result, you may receive less information about us than you would receive from a comparable U.S. company.

The corporate disclosure requirements that apply to us may not be equivalent to the disclosure requirements that apply to a U.S. company and, as a result, you may receive less information about us than you would receive from a comparable U.S. company. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The disclosure requirements applicable to foreign issuers under the Exchange Act are more limited than the disclosure requirements applicable to U.S. issuers. Publicly available information about issuers of securities listed on Chilean stock exchanges also provides less detail in certain respects than the information regularly published by listed companies in the United States or in certain other countries. Furthermore, there is a lower level of regulation of the Chilean securities markets and of the activities of investors in such markets as compared with the level of regulation of the securities markets in the United States and in certain other developed countries.

Risks Related to our Common Shares and ADSs

Our controlling shareholders may have interests that differ from those of our other shareholders.

We have two groups of major shareholders—the Cueto Group (the “LATAM Controlling Shareholders”) and the Amaro Group (the “TAM Controlling Shareholders”). As of January 31, 2012 our controlling shareholders,2014, the LATAM Controlling Shareholders, in the aggregate, beneficially owned 33.9%25.5% of our voting common shares, and the TAM Controlling Shareholders, in the aggregate, beneficially owned 12.0% of our voting common shares. The LATAM Controlling shareholdersShareholders are in a position to elect fourthree of the nine members of our board of directors and are in a position to direct our management. In addition, underthe LATAM Controlling Shareholders have entered into a shareholders agreement with the TAM Controlling Shareholders, pursuant to which these controlling shareholders have agreed to vote together to elect individuals that the TAM Controlling Shareholders nominate to our board of directors. See “Item 7. Controlling Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—A. Major Shareholders.”

Under the terms of the deposit agreement governing the ADSs, if holders of ADSs do not provide JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the ADSs, with timely instructions on the voting of the common shares underlying their ADRs, the depositary will be deemed to have been instructed to give a person designated by the board of directors the discretionary right to vote those common shares. The person designated by the board of directors to exercise this discretionary voting right may have interests that are aligned with our controlling shareholders, which may differ from those of our other shareholders. Historically, our board of directors has designated its chairman, who currently is Mauricio Amaro, to serve in this role.

Trading of our ADSs and common shares in the securities markets is limited and could experience further illiquidity and price volatility.

Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. In addition, Chilean securities markets may be materially affected by developments in other emerging markets, particularly other countries in Latin America. Accordingly, although you are entitled to withdraw the common shares underlying the ADSs from the depositary at any time, your ability to sell the common shares underlying ADSs in the amount and at the price and time that you wish to do so may be substantially limited. This limited trading market may also increase the price volatility of the ADSs or the common shares underlying the ADSs.

Holders of ADSs may be adversely affected by currency devaluations and foreign exchange fluctuations.

If the Chilean peso exchange rate falls relative to the U.S. dollar, the value of the ADSs and any distributions made thereon from the depositary could be adversely affected. Cash distributions made in respect of the ADSs are received by the depositary (represented by the custodian bank in Chile) in pesos, converted by the custodian bank into U.S. dollars at the then prevailing exchange rate and distributed by the depositary to the holders of the ADRs evidencing those ADSs. In addition, the depositary will incur foreign currency conversion costs (to be borne by the holders of the ADRs) in connection with the foreign currency conversion and subsequent distribution of dividends or other payments with respect to the ADSs.

Future changes in Chilean foreign investment controls and withholding taxes could negatively affect non-Chilean residents that invest in our shares.

Equity investments in Chile by non-Chilean residents have been subject in the past to various exchange control regulations that govern investment repatriation and earnings thereon. Although not currently in effect, regulations of the Central Bank of Chile have in the past required, and could again require, foreign investors acquiring securities in the secondary market in Chile to maintain a cash reserve or to pay a fee upon conversion of foreign currency to purchase such securities. Further, future changes in withholding taxes could negatively affect non-Chilean residents that invest in our shares.

When we established our ADS facility as part of our initial public offering in 1997, there were foreign exchange controls in Chile. At that time, in order to allow the depositary and investors to be able to enter into foreign exchange transactions to repatriate from Chile amounts they received in connection with the deposited shares of common stock (including dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying shares of common stock and any rights with respect thereto), we entered into a foreign investment contract (the “Foreign Investment Contract”) with the Central Bank and the depositary. The Foreign Investment Contract guaranteed ADS investors and the depositary access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert amounts from Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars and to repatriate such amounts.

In 2001, a new Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (the “New Compendium”) removed exchange controls and many other barriers to investment. However, even though there are no longer foreign exchange controls in Chile, all foreign investment contracts (including the Foreign Investment Contract), continue to remain in full force.

We cannot assure you that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, the disposition of the common shares underlying ADSs or the repatriation of the proceeds from an acquisition, a disposition or a dividend payment, will not be imposed or required in the future, nor could we make an assessment as to the duration or impact, were any such restrictions to be imposed or required. For further information, see “Item 10. Additional Information—D. Exchange Controls—Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile”.Chile.”

Our ADS holders may not be able to exercise preemptive rights in certain circumstances.

The Chilean Corporation Law provides that preemptive rights shall be granted to all shareholders whenever a company issues new shares for cash, giving such holders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. We will not be able to offer shares to holders of ADSs and shareholders located in the United States pursuant to the preemptive rights granted to shareholders in connection with any future issuance of shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), is effective with respect to such rights and shares, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. At the time of any rights offering, we will evaluate the potential costs and liabilities associated with any such registration statement in light of any indirect benefit to us of enabling U.S. holders of ADRs evidencing ADSs and shareholders located in the United States to exercise preemptive rights, as well as any other factors that may be considered appropriate at that time, and we will then make a decision as to whether we will file a registration statement. We cannot assure you that we will decide to file a registration statement or that such rights will be available to ADS holders and shareholders located in the United States.

TheLATAM is a publicly traded corporation listed in the Santiago Stock Exchange (“SSE”), the Valparaiso Stock Exchange, the Chilean Electronic Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Brazilian Stock Exchange (“Bovespa”).

LATAM’s history goes back to 1929, when the Chilean government founded Lan Airlines (formerly Lan Chile S.A.) in 1929. Lan AirlinesLAN. LAN was a government-owned company from 1929 until its incorporation in 1983. WeThe company began international service to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1946, to the United States in 1958 and to Europe in 1970. In 1989, the Chilean government sold 51.0% of Lan Airlines’sLAN’s capital stock to Chilean investors and to Scandinavian Airlines System. In 1994, our controlling shareholders together with other major shareholders acquired 98.7% of Lan Airlines’s stock,LAN’s stocks, including the remaining stockstocks held by the Chilean government, in a series of transactions. As of February 29, 2012, our controlling shareholders held 33.9% of our capital stock. For more information about our controlling shareholders, see “Item 7.

Since thisOver the past decade, LAN has significantly expanded its operations in Latin America, initiating services in Peru in 1999, in Argentina in 2005 and in Colombia in 2010 through the acquisition of our capital stockAerovias de Integracion Regional, Aires S.A. (dba “LAN Colombia”). The combination of LAN and TAM in 1994June 2012 continued to expand the Company’s operations in Brazil, where TAM is a leading domestic and international airline, offering flights throughout Brazil with a strong domestic market share, international

passenger services and significant cargo operations. TAM was founded in May 1997 (under the appointmentname CIT—Companhia de Investimentos em Transportes), for the purpose of our current management, we have grown our revenue baseparticipating in, managing and maintained our profitability every year despite significant challenges. Additionally, we have created a comprehensive network acrossconsolidating shareholdings in airlines. TAM began international services to Miami on 1998 and to Europe (Paris) in 1999. In September 2002, the region by forming, together with local partners, or acquiring, passenger affiliatesname was changed to TAM S.A. and its shares began to be publicly traded on Bovespa in June 2005. In 2006 TAM was also listed in the NYSE.

Following the combination, LATAM’s airline holdings include LAN and its subsidiaries in Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, and Colombia and Ecuador; TAM and its subsidiaries, including TAM Linhas Aereas, TAM Mercosur, TAM Airlines (Paraguay) and Multiplus; and LAN Cargo and its regional affiliates, which include ABSA (in Brazil), MasAir (in Mexico) and LANCO (in Colombia).

Combination of LAN and TAM

On June 22, 2012, LAN and TAM successfully completed an exchange offer resulting in the combination of the two businesses and the creation of LATAM Airlines Group.

Following the combination, on July 18, 2012, the registration of TAM as a publicly listed company in Brazil was cancelled and TAM was delisted from Bovespa.

In order to implement this combination, the TAM controlling shareholders formed four newsociedades anónimas cerradas with limited liability under the laws of Chile: TEP Chile, Holdco I, Holdco II and Sister Holdco. After the transaction was completed, Holdco II and Sister Holdco ceased to exist, and the ownership and organizational structure of LATAM Airlines Group as of December 31, 2013 was as follows:

LOGO

TAM S.A., the holding company, has two significant operating subsidiaries, TAM Linhas Areas S.A. (“TLA”) and Multiplus S.A.

LATAM Airlines Group has begun integrating its business units and the transformation necessary to achieve the expected merger synergies, including the implementation of adjustments to its commercial practices and alignment of its international and domestic passenger operations. LATAM expects to fully achieve its estimated predicted merger synergies over the next four years; however, the Company’s short term results are expected to continue to reflect the transition costs as the business becomes fully integrated.

Capital Expenditures

For a description of our capital expenditures, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures”.Expenditures.”

Proposed CombinationB. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

General

We are the leading passenger airline group in South America and the main air cargo operator in the region. We currently provide domestic and international passenger services in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil. We carry out our cargo operations through the use of belly space on our passenger flights and dedicated cargo operations using freighter aircraft through our cargo airlines in Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.

As of January 31, 2014, we serviced 16 destinations in Chile, 14 destinations in Peru, 6 destinations in Ecuador, 14 destinations in Argentina, 20 destinations in Colombia, 40 destinations in Brazil, 11 destinations in other Latin American countries and the Caribbean, 5 destinations in the United States, 5 destinations in Europe and 3 destinations in the South Pacific. In addition, as of January 31, 2014, through our various code-share agreements, we offer service to 78 additional destinations in North America, 34 additional destinations in Europe, 33 additional destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean (including Mexico), 4 destinations in Africa and 7 destinations in Asia. We provide cargo service to all our passenger destinations and to approximately 9 additional destinations served only by freighter aircraft. We also offer other services, such as ground handling, courier, logistics, and maintenance.

Competitive Strengths

Our strategy is to maintain LATAM Airlines Group as the leading airline in South America and to maximize shareholder value by increasing revenues and profitability through leveraging the operational efficiencies between our cargo and passenger divisions, thoroughly planning for our expansion efforts and carefully controlling costs. We plan to accomplish these goals by both focusing on our existing competitive strengths and implementing new strategies to fuel our future growth. We believe our most important competitive strengths are:

Leading Presence in South America

Through a successful regional expansion strategy, LATAM Airlines Group has become the leading international and domestic passenger airline group in South America, as well as the largest cargo operator in Latin America. We have domestic passenger operations in Chile, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador. These six countries are the most relevant passenger markets in South America (excluding Venezuela) and represent approximately 90% of the passengers in the region. We are also the largest operator of intra-regional routes, connecting the main cities in South America. Furthermore, through our significant presence in the largest hubs in South America—Lima and Sao Paulo—we are able to offer the best connectivity between South America and the rest of the world. Finally, the cargo companies of LATAM Airlines Group are the largest air cargo operators within, to and from Latin America, particularly in Brazil, where we consolidated our position during 2013 through combining the operations of TAM Cargo and ABSA, bringing together their highly complementary capacities and networks.

Geographically Diversified Revenue Base, including both Passenger and Cargo Operations

The operations of the LATAM Airlines Group are highly geographically diversified, including domestic operations in six different countries, as well as operations within South America and connecting South America with TAMvarious international destinations. This provides resilience to external shocks that may occur in any particular market. Furthermore, we believe that one of our distinct competitive advantages is our ability to profitably integrate our scheduled passenger and cargo operations. We take into account potential cargo services when planning passenger routes, and also serve certain dedicated cargo routes using our freighter aircraft, when needed. By adding cargo revenues to our existing passenger service, we are able to increase the productivity of our assets and maximize revenue, which has historically covered fixed operating expenses per flight, lowered break-even load factors and enhanced per flight profitability. Additionally, this revenue diversification helps offset seasonal revenue fluctuations and reduces the volatility of our business over time. For the year ended December 31, 2013, passenger revenues accounted for 86% of total revenues and cargo revenues accounted for 14% of total revenues.

On August 13, 2010,

“Low Cost” Business Model in Domestic Operations

We continue to utilize the business model LAN launched in 2007 to increase the efficiency of our domestic operations in Chile, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and, subject to certain regulatory restrictions, in Argentina. In addition, we jointly announced with TAM thatapply these initiatives on certain regional routes within Latin America and we had entered into a non-binding Memorandumare exploring opportunities to apply aspects of Understanding relatingthis model to the proposed all-stock transactiondomestic passenger operations in Brazil. A key objective of this business model has been to increase the utilization of our fleet through modified itineraries that would combineinclude more point-to-point and overnight flights and faster turnaround times. LATAM operates Airbus A320-Family Aircraft on all domestic and regional routes except some routes served by LAN Colombia. This fleet has increased efficiency and improved the holdingsmargins of our short-haul operations. In addition, our modern fleet allows for lower unscheduled maintenance costs, lower fuel consumption, and operational and cost efficiencies achieved through operating fewer fleet types. Other key objectives of this business model include a reduction in sales and distribution costs through increased Internet penetration, reduced agency commissions, and increased self check-in service through web check-in and airport kiosks. We expect that these initiatives, together with simplifications in back-office and support functions, will continue to help us expand operations while controlling fixed costs, spurring a reduction in overhead costs per ASK. We pass on a portion of these operating efficiencies to consumers through fare reductions, which has stimulated additional demand and enhanced our overall profitability.

Modern Fleet and Optimized Fleet Strategy

The average age of our fleet is less than 7.0 years, making our fleet one of the most modern in Latin America and in the world. A younger fleet makes us more cost competitive because it reduces fuel consumption and maintenance costs, and enables us to enjoy a high degree of performance reliability. In addition, a modern and fuel efficient fleet reflects our strong commitment to the environment as new aircraft incorporate the industry’s latest technology, allowing for a substantial reduction in emissions, while also decreasing noise levels.

We optimize our fleet structure through the careful selection of modern aircraft models and staggered lease maturities. We select our aircraft based on their ability to effectively and efficiently serve our short- and long-haul flight needs, while still striving to minimize the number of different aircraft types we operate. For short-haul flights, we principally operate the Airbus A320-Family Aircraft. We are in the process of replacing the fleet used by LAN Colombia—which is our only domestic short-haul fleet that includes Boeing 737 and Dash 8-200 aircraft—with more modern and efficient Airbus A320 Family aircraft. This process of fleet change is expected to be finished during 2014 and will allow us to generate important cost savings. For long-haul passenger flights, we operate the Boeing 767-300, Airbus A330, Airbus A340-300 and Boeing 777 aircrafts, and, in October 2012, we started operations with the new modern and efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliner, becoming the first airline in the Americas to operate this brand new aircraft. This aircraft has new technologies in aerodynamics, materials and coatings which allows us to achieve important savings on fuel consumption and also achieve sustainable expansion of our fleet (as the Dreamliner produces up to 20% less CO2 than similar aircraft) while incorporating modern technology to deliver the best travel experience for LATAM’s passengers. Our current fleet plan also includes the delivery starting in 2016 of Airbus A350 passenger aircraft, a new aircraft type that is expected to further improve the efficiency of the existing fleet.

Following the combination of LAN and TAM, under a single parent entity.

On January 18, 2011, we andare focused on the rationalization of the LAN controlling shareholdersand TAM fleets and as we acquire additional aircraft, we will use the same configurations across our various airlines to unify our product offerings and reach higher levels of efficiency.

Efficient Processes

We continue to implement LEAN, a system that seeks to improve our processes by eliminating activities that do not add value (thus increasing the value of each activity and suppressing those that are superfluous), which reduces costs, improves efficiency and increases customer satisfaction. Internationally, the LEAN system has been recognized as a methodology for achieving excellence and continuous improvement. The adoption of this system constituted a redesigning of processes to enable us to solve problems that may occur during the execution of any process, such as aircraft maintenance. The foregoing renders the daily tasks and processes carried out within LATAM more efficient. Since the merger, we have achieved important fuel savings by implementing the LEAN fuel program in TAM’s operations, resulting in more than 7.4 million gallons saved in the year ended December 31, 2013. LEAN also supports the Company’s growth plans by streamlining the pilot training process, which results in more pilots trained during the year. By establishing clear roles, challenges and achievements, the implementation of LEAN has also had an important benefit in terms of employee motivation.

Strong Brands Teamed with Key Global Strategic Alliances

Following the business combination, both LAN and TAM continue to operate under their existing brands in the same way as they have done until previously. We believe that both the LAN and TAM brands are associated with superior service, aircraft and technologically-advanced operations, and are well recognized and respected in their respective markets. In 2013, we also focused on enhancing our corporate image as LATAM Airlines Group, which allows us to unify marketing efforts as we continue to expand in our existing and new markets.

Our strategic global alliances and existing commercial agreements provide our customers with access to approximately 163 destinations worldwide, a combined reservations system, itinerary flexibility and various other benefits, which substantially enhance our competitive position within the Latin American market. In addition, in 2012, we entered into the transactionnew bilateral agreements with strategic partners such as American Airlines which signed new agreements with LAN Colombia and TAM, TEP and broadened our network of alliances in the combination with TAM, which maintains commercial agreements with a number of leading airlines. Lan Colombia joinedoneworld® on October 1, 2013 and TAM joinedoneworld® on March 31, 2014.

Track Record of Growth, Profitability and Access to Financing

We have historically managed our business to maintain financial flexibility and a strong balance sheet in order to accommodate our growth objectives while being able to respond to changing market conditions. Our financial flexibility has allowed us to secure large aircraft orders, including an important part of our current re-fleeting program, at attractive financing rates.

Recognized Loyalty Programs

TAM Fidelidade and LANPASS together represent the leading frequent flyer programs in South America, with strong participation rates and brand recognition by our customers. Customers in each program earn points or kilometers based on distance flown and class of ticket purchased, or by using other services of partners in the program. In addition, TAM’s Multiplus program, which was launched in 2009, allows members to accumulate points not just by flying with TAM, but also by making purchases through credit cards or using services and products at partner establishments, and to redeem points for TAM flights and other products at partner establishments. At the end of 2013, Multiplus had 472 partner establishments, including the TAM controlling shareholders,Fidelidade Program. Following the business combination between LAN and TAM, we have begun to harmonize the two airlines’ frequent flyer programs to make them fully fungible for our customers, and have advanced cost initiatives related to the contract renegotiations and process standardization.

We regard both of our frequent flyer programs as strong relationship tools and we believe that these flexible programs are attractive to customers because they do not impose restrictions on flights for which set forthpoints can be redeemed or the termsnumber of seats available to members using the loyalty program for any particular flight. LANPASS members can accrue and conditionsredeem points for flights with any of LAN’s alliance carriers, including ononeworld® flights, and TAM Fidelidade members can accrue and redeem points for flights with any of TAM’s alliance carriers, including members of the Star Alliance (through 2014). During 2013, LANPASS reached new agreements with several partners in each specific market in which LAN operates, creating a proposed business combinationstrong position in the Spanish-speaking Latin American markets.

Business Strategy

The principal areas in which we plan to focus our efforts going forward are as follows:

Achieve the Successful Integration of LAN and TAM. For a discussion of howTAM, and Realize Merger Synergies

The Company has successfully completed the proposed combination will be implemented and the termsintegration of the transactioncorporate functions and of the commercial areas of both cargo and international passenger operations, which we believe will result in significant operational efficiencies, incremental revenues and a strong improvement in the cash flow generation of the combined business. In addition, we have harmonized the airlines’frequent flyer programs, and have made significant progress in contract renegotiations and procurement standardization, and are in the process of implementing a plan to transfer best practices across multiple areas of the Company. We strongly believe that passengers of both LAN and TAM are directly benefiting from improved connectivity, cross-selling and easier access to more destinations via LATAM’s expanded network and code-share destinations. LATAM has established new and improved agreements see “—The Transaction Agreements” below.with international carriers, has aligned certain commercial practices and aspects of the on-board product for certain routes, and implemented new operations on regional routes. Regarding synergy capture, the Company has sucesfully implemented all the synergy and efficiency initiatives and continues working to fully achieve the run rate of these initiatives, therefore, we remain confident in our synergy target of between US$600 and US$700 million, to be fully achieved by the fourth year after the merger (June 2016).

Fleet Restructuring Plan

After a process of reviewing its post-merger fleet plan and fleet requirements, during the second half of 2013 LATAM decided to undertake a broad fleet restructuring plan with the aim of reducing the number of models operated, phasing out less efficient models and allocating aircraft best suited to each one of its markets. As a result, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013 and for approximately the next thirty months, the Company will phase out all of its A330s, A340s, B737s and Q400 and Q200s. During the fourth quarter of 2013 this process has generated non-recurring costs of US$17.5 million resulting from penalties related to anticipated redeliveries and other redelivery expenses. For the full year, these costs reached US$29 million. These initiatives are part of a long term strategy which we believe is key in order to have a cost efficient operation, increasing LATAM’s competitiveness in the long term.

The Transaction AgreementsImprove our Capital Structure

This section describesLATAM Airlines Group is focused on developing a solid balance sheet, which we believe is a competitive advantage in the material termsairline industry to facilitate access to fleet financing and provide resilience to the volatility inherent to airline operations. Following the business combination between LAN and TAM, we have significantly increased our outstanding indebtedness and aircraft purchase obligations. In the near-term, we are focused on improving our capital structure, by improving cash flow generation of the transaction agreements.business and actively managing capacity in our passenger and cargo businesses. The rights and obligations of the parties to the transaction agreements are governed by the express terms and conditions of the transaction agreements and not by this summary or any other information contained in this annual report on Form 20-F.

We encourage you to read the transaction agreements carefully and in their entirety.

Explanatory Note Regarding the Transaction Agreements

The following summary is included to provide you with information regarding the terms of the transaction agreements. This section is not intended to provide you with any factual information about either TAM or LAN. Such information can be found elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F, in the public filings TAM and LAN make with the SEC, and other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed business combinationnear-term fleet plans of LAN and TAM.

Overview

To help you better understand the proposed combination and its component steps, set forth below is a description of those steps together with organizational charts that illustrate how the transaction will affect the ownershipfleet plans of LAN and TAM.

TAM into a joint fleet management plan, which we expect to result in a decrease in expected fleet capital expenditures for the coming years. This reduction in capital expenditures reflects capacity reductions in the domestic Brazil operations, as well as reduced growth estimates for our international passenger business.

As of March 28, 2012 LAN’s current authorized share capital was 341,000,000 common shares, which consisted of 340,977,3092009 LAN common shares. The LAN controlling shareholders owned approximately 33.84%completed the reconfiguration of the LAN common sharescabins of all its long-haul aircraft, including both the Boeing 767 and the Airbus A340 passenger aircraft, in order to incorporate our new Premium Business Class including full-flat seats, as well as improvements in economy class which include a state-of-the-art on-board entertainment system. This high quality standard is shared by TAM, which currently offers first and business class in all its long haul flights as well as in some regional routes. Our frequent flyer programs, LANPASS and TAM Fidelidade, provide travel benefits and rewards to more than 8.5 million loyal customers in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia as well to more than 12.2 million members in Brazil. In the cargo business, we focus on providing reliable service, taking advantage of March 5, 2012. For a descriptionour ability to handle different types of the rights attachedcargo as well as significant cargo volumes, and leveraging our facilities in key gateways, such as Miami, to LAN common shares, see “Item 10. Additional Information—Memorandumensure optimal handling of our customers’ needs. We continually assess opportunities to incorporate service improvements in order to respond effectively to our customers’ needs.

Focus on Efficiency and Articles of Association.”Sustainability

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the transaction agreements, all or substantially all of the outstanding TAM common shares will be acquired by Holdco I and substantially all of the outstanding TAM preferred shares will be acquired by LANWe are increasingly focused on improving efficiency through a series of transactionsfleet initiatives that seek to reduce fuel consumption. The most significant is our ongoing fleet renewal and corporate restructurings described below.growth plan, through which we expect to incorporate 157 new aircraft between 2014 and 2019, which we expect will contribute to lower costs per ASK. As an example, we estimate that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner operates with costs per ASK that are approximately 12% lower than other long haul passenger aircraft, the new Boeing 777 freighter operates with costs per ATK that are approximately 17% lower than the Boeing 767 freighter, and the Airbus A350 will operate with costs per ASK that are approximately 25% lower than the Airbus A330. In addition, we completed the installation of winglets on all of LAN’s existing Boeing 767 aircraft, achieving average fuel efficiencies of approximately 5% per aircraft per year since implementation. We are also in the process of installing sharklets (a type of winglet) in our Airbus A320 Family fleet, which we expect to result in further fuel efficiencies in this fleet.

SubjectIn order to mitigate the environmental impact of our operations we seek to operate in a sustainable manner by reducing our fuel consumption and related emissions. We also continue to focus on adjusting the configuration of our aircraft to market demand by, for example, adjusting the configuration of certain Boeing 767s by reducing the number of Premium Business seats and increasing the number of Economy class seats.

During 2012, LAN also replaced its passenger service system, containing the reservation, inventory and departure control systems of the airline, with a new system provided by Sabre. The conversion process involved moving from two suppliers (Amadeus and Resiber), whose systems were previously required to cover the complete role of the passenger service system, to a single supplier (Sabre), and is expected to result in substantial savings over the coming years. For the near future, we are contemplating the migration of TAM’s reservation system to Sabre in order to achieve the synergies of having a unified passenger service system.

International Passenger Operations

Our international network combines our Chilean, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Argentinean, Colombian and Brazilian subsidiaries. We have operated international services out of Chile since 1946. Over time we have greatly expanded our international services, offering flights out of Peru with the creation of LAN Peru in 1999, out of Ecuador through the creation of LAN Ecuador in 2003, and out of Argentina with LAN Argentina in August 2006, which until then had only been offering domestic flights, and out of Colombia in 2010 through LAN Colombia, following the acquisition of Aires. Most recently, our international services grew significantly with the business combination between LAN and TAM in June of 2012. As of January 31, 2014, we now offer 24 international destinations.

Our strategy to generally expand our international network is aimed at enhancing our value proposition by offering customers more destinations and routing alternatives, maximizing aircraft utilization, increasing load factors, leveraging complementary seasonal patterns, and optimizing our commercial efforts. Our sustained development of our international network has been a crucial factor in our long-term growth. We provide long-haul services out of our seven main hubs in Santiago, Lima, Guayaquil, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. We also provide regional services from Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil. Since 2004, we have continued to consolidate our hub in Lima, which serves as the center of our Latin American network and also complements our intercontinental network, by opening new routes and increasing flights on existing routes out of Lima. After LAN and TAM’s combination in 2012, we have been also focused in building a new regional hub at Sao Paulo, Guarulhos airport, which we see is becoming one of the most important gateways into South America and where we have seen an increase in international traffic in the last years. In regard to this new hub, ongoing infrastructure investments plus the recent approval from Brazilian authorities to reallocate our airport slots at Guarulhos are facilitating the construction of this hub for LATAM Airlines.

In line with our long-standing commitment to provide customers with superior service and the best products on the market, in May 2009 we completed the retrofit of all of our long-haul fleet (including our Boeing 767 and Airbus A340 passenger aircraft) with the new Premium Business class and improved Economy class. Combining the best features of the traditional First and Business classes, the new Premium Business includes 180 degrees recline full-flat seats which allow passengers to sleep with the maximum comfort and privacy. Premium Business also includes top-level personalized in-flight service. Changes in Economy class include new seats with a greater recline angle, a cushion that slides forward for increased comfort and convenience, and larger individual video monitors for each seat.

During 2013, LATAM received two additional Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, ending the year with five aircraft of this model, out of an order of 32. The configuration of the cabin on the Boeing 787-8 aircraft includes 217 economy class seats and 30 seats for Premium Business class. One of the new features offered in the new Premium Business class cabin is a 100% horizontal full flat seat with the same dimensions of our current seat that includes foot support, a memory system that records the seat position chosen by the user and lumbar massage, and our new Economy class features reclining ergonomic seats. The incorporation of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners into our fleet will allow us to achieve important savings on fuel consumption and the sustainable expansion of our fleet (as the Dreamliner produces up to 20% less CO2 than similar aircraft), while incorporating modern technology to deliver the best travel experience for our passengers. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Operations and the Airline Industry—We have invested in new Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” aircraft.”

As part of its mission, LATAM seeks to promote tourism to South America. Due to its large network of services, visitors from around the world can experience world renowned destinations such as Cusco, Easter Island, the Galapagos Islands, Iguazu Falls in Brazil, or Patagonia in Chile and Argentina, including the cities of Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, El Calafate and Bariloche.

Business Model for Domestic Operations

In 2007, we initiated a new business model to acquire allredesign our domestic business operations with the goal of developing the industry and increasing efficiency of LAN’s short-haul operations, specifically with respect to the domestic operations in Chile and Peru. A key element of this business model has been to significantly increase the utilization of our narrow body fleet, which we have been successfully achieving through modified itineraries including more point-to-point and overnight flights. We removed the Boeing 737-200 aircraft from our fleet in favor of the issuednew more efficient Airbus A320-Family Aircraft. The Airbus A320-Family Aircraft fleet utilization reached approximately 9.4 block hours per day in 2012. The transition to a newer fleet allows for lower unscheduled maintenance costs as well as cost efficiencies achieved through operating fewer fleet types and outstanding:operational efficiencies, including lower fuel consumption.

TAM common shares,

TAM preferred shares, and

TAM ADSs,

Another key element of this business model is the reduction in each case that are not owned by the TAMsales and distribution costs through higher internet penetration and reduced agency commissions, a faster turnaround time and increased self-check-in service through web check-in and kiosks at airports. These initiatives, together with simplifications in back-office and support functions, will continue to allow us to expand operations while controlling shareholdersfixed costs, spurring a reduction in exchange for the same numberoverhead costs. We have begun to pass on these operating efficiencies to consumers through significant fare reductions, which have a strong effect in stimulating new demand. In 2007, we implemented all aspects of Holdco II shares.

Immediately before Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer:

the TAM controlling shareholders will contribute to TEP Chile all of their TAM common shares and all of their TAM preferred shares and will receive additional shares of TEP Chile,

TEP Chile will contribute to Holdco I all of the TAM common shares that it received from the TAM controlling shareholders and will receive Holdco I non-voting shares, and

TEP Chile will contribute to Sister Holdco:

all of the TAM preferred shares that TEP Chile received from the TAM controlling shareholders,

all of the Holdco I non-voting shares that TEP Chile received from Holdco I, and

6.2% of the outstanding Holdco I voting shares,

and will receive a number of Sister Holdco shares equal to the total number of TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares that the TAM controlling shareholders contributed to TEP Chile.

After completion of the steps describedthis new business model in the immediately preceding bullet point,Chilean and Peruvian domestic markets, and began to implement the ownership of TAM will bebusiness model in Argentina that same year. In 2009 we began to implement this business model in Ecuador as follows:

LOGO

After Holdco II accepts for exchange the TAM ADSs and TAM shares tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer and immediately before the settlement of the exchange offer, each of Holdco II and Sister Holdco will merge with and into LAN as a result of which:

LAN will be the surviving company of both mergers,

Holdco II and Sister Holdco will cease to exist, and

each Holdco II share (including those that would otherwise have been delivered at the settlement of the exchange offer) and each Sister Holdco share will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share.

Promptly after settlement of the exchange offer, LAN will:

contribute to Holdco I any TAM common shares acquired in the exchange offer in exchange for the same number of Holdco I non-voting shares, and

increase its ownership percentage of the outstanding Holdco I voting shares by converting some of its Holdco I non-voting shares into Holdco I voting shares to the percentage that will cause the product of (i) TEP Chile’s ownership percentage of the outstanding Holdco I voting shares and (ii) Holdco I’s ownership percentage of the outstanding TAM common shares to be equal to 80%.

As a result of the foregoing transactions:

Holdco I will own 100% of the TAM common shares that were:

contributed by the TAM controlling shareholders or

acquired pursuant to the exchange offer.

If the transactions described above are successfully completed, then immediately following the completion of these transactions the ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of LAN and TAM will be approximately as shown below. The ownership percentages shown in the chart below were calculated assuming that all holders of TAM shares and TAM ADSs other than the TAM controlling shareholders validly tender their TAM shares and TAM ADSs into, and do not withdraw them from, the exchange offer, that no TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) or LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs) are issued after the date of the exchange offer prospectus other than the LAN shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs) to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers and the TAM controlling shareholders make and pay the TEP Chile subscription by contributing to TEP Chile all TAM shares beneficially owned by them, and TEP Chile pays for the subscriptions of Holdco I shares and Sister Holdco shares by contributing to Holdco I and Sister Holdco all of the TAM shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders.

LOGOwell.

As a result of the Holdco II merger,implementation of this business model, the number of passengers transported has increased:

280% (from 2.5 million to 9.5 million) in Chile, from 2006 to 2013,

388% (from 1.7 million to 8.3 million) in Peru, from 2006 to 2013,

283% (from 0.6 million to 2.3 million) in Argentina, from 2006 to 2013, and

21% (from 3.3 million to 4.0 million) in Ecuador, from 2009 to 2013.

We plan to continue with the implementation of this business model during 2014 in Colombia and Brazil and we have started its implementation in some regional routes, as we look for ways to increase operational efficiency, encourage direct sales and self check-in, and implement new sales strategies aimed at stimulating demand.

Operations within Chile

Through LAN and LAN Express, we are the leading domestic passenger airline in Chile. We have operated domestic flights in Chile since the Company’s creation in 1929. During 2013, we flew to 16 destinations within Chile (including Santiago, but not including Easter Island, which we consider an international destination even though it is a part of Chile, because we serve it with long-haul aircraft) as well as some seasonal destinations. LAN and LAN Express have integrated passenger operations, including operations under the same two-letter “designator reservation code,” and have coordinated fare structures, scheduling and other commercial matters in order to maximize cooperative benefits and revenues for the two carriers. Our strategy is based on providing frequent service to Chile’s main destinations, offering a reliable and high quality service, and leveraging our strong brand position in Chile and abroad. We evaluate our network of domestic routes on an ongoing basis in order to achieve optimal operational efficiency and profitability. Our strategic objective is to maintain our leadership position in our domestic routes.

During 2013 we operated an average fleet of 22 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in the Chilean domestic market, and we plan to operate an average fleet of 26 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in 2013. Domestic operations in Chile have been positively affected by the greater utilization of the latest-generation Airbus fleet and the retirement of the Airbus A318-100s. Currently, LATAM’s domestic fleet in Chile has an average age of 2 years.

According to JAC data, the Chilean domestic market as a whole transported approximately 9.5 million passengers in 2013, an increase of 13.7% from 8.3 million passengers transported in 2012. Our domestic passenger market share in Chile was 76.8% in 2013 as measured in revenue passenger kilometer (RPK). During 2013, our main competitors in the domestic market were Sky Airlines and PAL Airlines with domestic passenger market shares as measured in RPKs of 19.4% and 3.0% respectively.

There are currently no foreign airlines participating in the Chilean domestic market. Chile permits foreign airlines to operate in Chile. Additionally, there are no regulatory barriers that prevent a foreign airline from creating a Chilean subsidiary and entering the Chilean domestic market using that subsidiary.

Operations within Peru

LAN Peru started operations in 1999 with both domestic and international flights from Lima. During the last ten years LAN Peru has expanded consistently, consolidating its domestic operations and coverage of the relevant markets with a continuous focus on improving our excellence for service. Self-check-in levels have grown steadily in recent years, reaching 80% for domestic routes in 2013.

Peru has tremendous potential, compared to other Latin American markets, based on per capita travel ratios. In 2013, the domestic market in Peru reached 8.3 million passengers, an increase of 14.8% from 7.2 million passengers transported in 2012. During 2013, LAN Peru increased daily frequencies in some flights from Lima to destinations such as Piura, Chiclayo and Iquitos; added some new direct flights between Cusco and Arequipa and Puerto Maldonado; and added new nightly flights to Cusco, the country’s most important tourist destination, being the only airline providing this flight schedule. LAN Peru flies at least three times daily to each Holdco IIof its 14 destinations except Tumbes, Pucallpa, Puerto Maldonado and Tacna (2 or 3 flights daily).

LAN Peru began 2013 with a fleet of 14 Airbus A319 Aircraft. During the year, one of the Airbus A319 aircraft was phased out of the fleet and 3 Airbus A320 aircraft were incorporated, one of them including sharklets. With this, LAN Peru has one of the most modern fleets in Latin America, which is ideal for the characteristics of Peruvian routes, as it maximizes available payload in high-altitude airports. In terms of efficiency, a uniform A320 family fleet also allows for low maintenance costs, high crew productivity and operational flexibility. Fleet utilization slightly decreased from 10.6 flight hours per operating day in 2012 to 10.3 flight hours per operating day in 2013.

In 2013, a total of 5.3 million passengers traveled on LAN Peru’s domestic routes, which represented an increase of 17.1% compared to 2012. According to data provided by the Peruvian DGAC, our domestic market share was 63.4% in 2013, compared to 62.2% in 2012, as measured in number of passengers. Our main competitors in Peru include Peruvian Airlines, Star Peru LC Peru and Avianca

Operations within Argentina

Since 2005, LAN Argentina has increased its domestic destinations to a total of 14 Argentine cities, and now serves Bahia Blanca, Bariloche, Buenos Aires, Calafate, Comodoro Rivadavia, Cordoba, Iguazu, Mendoza, Neuquen, Rio Gallegos, Salta, San Juan, Tucuman and Ushuaia.

Since the end of 2006, LAN Argentina has operated Airbus A320 aircraft in both domestic and regional operations. LAN Argentina currently operates a fleet of 10 Airbus A320 aircraft in our domestic operations.

In the domestic Argentine market, LAN Argentina operates in a regulated environment in which fares sold to Argentine passengers are subject to minimum and maximum prices that vary per route. In August 2006, by presidential decree, both the floor and ceiling of the regulated price range were increased by 20%. The decree also liberalized foreign ownership of Argentinean airlines, previously capped at 49%. Since this decree, the floor and ceiling of the regulated price range have been consistently increased on an annual or semi-annual basis, by a range of 8-18%. In 2013, the ceiling and floor increased in the same proportion, both increasing by 9% in May 2013, and by 12% in December 2013.

Based on internal estimates as of December 31, 2013, our domestic market share in Argentina in terms of passengers transported was approximately 29%. During this period of time LAN Argentina transported 2.3 million passengers, a slight decrease 4% compared to 2012. The competitors in the Argentinean market during 2013 were Aerolíneas Argentinas and its affiliate Austral LíneasAéreas. Together, these two companies comprise the substantial majority of the remaining domestic Argentine market share, although a small portion of the domestic market share is serviced through Sol and Andes.

Operations within Ecuador

At the end of 2008, the Civil Aviation National Board authorized LAN Ecuador to operate domestic flights in Ecuador and in April 2009, LAN Ecuador initiated service between Quito and Guayaquil. In the past three years, LAN Ecuador has greatly expanded the number of destinations and frequency of flights in Ecuador. As of the end of 2013, LAN Ecuador operated 67 weekly flights between Quito and Guayaquil, 7 weekly flights to the Baltra, 2 weekly flights to San Cristobal and 15 weekly flights between Cuenca and Quito.

In 2013, LAN Ecuador transported 1.3 million passengers in the domestic passenger market, achieving a load factor of 78.5% and representing an increase of 20% in number of passengers serviced over 2012. LAN Ecuador had a domestic market share of 31.76% in 2012, representing a significant increase over its 2012 market share, according to internal estimates.

In Ecuador, the company’s principal competitors are TAME, Aerogal and Icaro.

Operations within Colombia

Following the acquisition of Aires in 2010, LAN Colombia has successfully restructured the Company’s previous operations in order to achieve LATAM’s standards in terms of security, punctuality, efficiency and service quality. In 2012 LAN Colombia started to implement its “low cost” model, already operating in the other affiliates domestic markets of Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador, and to stimulate demand on domestic flights by providing more Colombian citizens the opportunity to use air transportation. With this strategy and new marketing plans aiming to increase brand awareness, LAN Colombia was able to stimulate demand, achieving fare reductions of approximately 35% by introducing new segmentation parameters prior to departure, depending on the market.

LAN Colombia continued to expand its routes inside Colombia in 2013, using a network of 20 domestic destinations to transport more than 4.2 million passengers during the year, an increase of 15% as compared to passengers transported in 2012. As of December 31, 2013, LAN Colombia had 17% of Colombian market share, second after Avianca. Other competitors in the domestic market are Copa, Viva Colombia, EasyFly and Satena.

During 2013, LAN Colombia continued to advance in its fleet renewal plan, a process which began in 2012, LAN Colombia intends during 2014 to phase out the remaining Boeing B737 aircraft and Bombardier Dash aircraft inherited from Aires and replace them with more modern and efficient aircraft from the Airbus A320 family. All these actions aim to further reduce our operating expenses and become the most efficient carrier in Colombia. As of December 2013, LAN Colombia serviced its domestic destinations with 7 Airbus A320 aircraft, 4 Boeing B737 aircraft and 8 Dash-200 aircraft.

In regard to service, during 2013 the Company launched a new VIP lounge in the El Dorado Airport in Bogotá, which has the best standards in terms of comfort and gastronomy and has become an asset in building loyalty in our clients. This lounge classified as one of the 10 best VIP lounges in the world, according to a specialized design magazine.

In August 2013, LAN Colombia and American Airlines started to market their codeshare agreement, allowing LAN Colombia to offer its clients 12 destinations in the United States, while American Airlines may now offer 4 additional destinations in Colombia. In October 2013, LAN Colombia enteredoneworld® alliance.

The domestic Colombian industry transported 21.5 million passengers during 2013, a 14.1% increase over 2012. LAN Colombia has maintained its position as the second largest operator in Colombia’s domestic market with approximately 18.3% of the market share as measured in RPKs as of December 31, 2013. A total of 4.0 million passengers traveled on LAN Colombia domestic routes in 2013, which represented an increase of 12.2% compared to 2012 domestic passenger activity. LAN Colombia’s main competitor, Avianca, carried almost 12.6 million passengers in 2013 and had a market share as measured in RPKs of approximately 57.7% in 2013. VivaColombia, a low cost carrier that started operations within Colombia in June 2012, transported more than 1.8 million passengers for the 2013 year, reaching a 8.8% market share as measured in RPKs.

As we look ahead to 2014, LAN Colombia will continue to market the LAN brand in the domestic Colombian market, maintain excellence in service, leadership in punctuality and corporate segment penetration.

Operations within Brazil

TAM Linhas Aereas, is the leading domestic passenger airline in Brazil, and has operated domestic flights in Brazil since the company’s creation in 1961. As of January 31, 2014 TAM Linhas Aereas has flights to 40 destinations (42 airports) within Brazil as well as some seasonal destinations. The strategy is based on providing strong connectivity through a network based on the main Brazilian cities, offering a reliable and high quality service, and leveraging our strong brand position in Brazil and abroad. TAM Linhas Aereas evaluates our network of domestic routes on an ongoing basis in order to achieve optimal operational efficiency and profitability.

The domestic market in Brazil has historically suffered from overcapacity, which resulted in very low load factors compared to industry standards, which has negatively impacted the financial results of domestic airlines in recent years. However, this trend began to change during 2012 and has significantly improved during 2013, as major airlines have reduced domestic capacity, and the capacity discipline is expected to continue during 2014. LATAM has continue to make significant progress in the turnaround of the domestic Brazil passenger operation, improving profitability by increasing load factor through the rationalization of capacity and improved revenue management through better segmentation of the market. During 2013, TAM reduced its capacity by 8.4% as measured in ASKs, leading to an increase of 6.1 percentage points in load factors on a year-over-year basis, despite the 0.8% decrease in traffic measured as RPKs. As of January 31, 2014, we operate an average fleet of 120 aircraft in the Brazilian domestic market. During 2014, we expect to maintain our capacity flat in order to continue improving the profitability of our domestic passenger operations in Brazil. TAM utilized the greater efficiency of the Airbus A320-Family aircraft on short-haul flights in order to gain operational efficiencies, such as more efficient fuel consumption.

According to ANAC, the Brazilian domestic market as a whole transported approximately 90.0 million passengers in 2013, an increase of 1.4% as compared to 89.0 million in 2012. TAM Linhas Aereas domestic passenger market share in Brazil as of the end of the year was 39.9% as measured in RPKs. During 2013, TAM’s main competitors in the domestic market were GOL, the merged airlines Trip and Azul, and Avianca Brazil. GOL (including Webjet) ended 2013 with a domestic passenger market share of 35.4% while Trip-Azul and Avianca Brazil had market shares of 13.2% and 7.2% respectively.

American Airlines Group. Since 1997, LAN has had an agreement with American Airlines which enables LAN and American Airlines to share carrier codes for certain flights on global reservations systems, thereby enabling American Airlines passengers to purchase seats on LAN flights and vice-versa (a “code-sharing agreement”). The U.S. Department of Transportation, or DOT, granted American Airlines immunity from antitrust regulations in October 1999 for specific areas of cooperation. For more information see “—Regulation—United States of America—Authorizations and Licenses”

below. Through this alliance, we currently offer service to thirty additional destinations in the United States and Canada. In 2005, the DOT also granted antitrust immunity to LAN Peru and American Airlines for specific areas of cooperation. In accordance with the terms of the DOT’s 2005 approval, LAN, LAN Peru and American Airlines resubmitted their alliance agreement to the DOT for review in October 2010. In 2007, LAN Peru and American Airlines established a code-sharing agreement between Peru and the U.S. with additional destinations in both countries.

Reciprocal accrual and redemption of frequent flyer program rewards is also available for LAN customers flying on Alaska Airlines flights and vice versa.

Passenger Marketing and Sales

Following the business combination, LATAM will continue to operate under two brands, LAN and TAM.

LAN’s Passenger Marketing and Sales

Within the “LAN” brand, we differentiate our marketing strategies between our international (long-haul) and domestic (short-haul) services.

Our long-haul marketing strategy emphasizes attributes valued by our international customers: a reliable, high-quality service centered on entertainment and comfort for long travel. We also highlight our extensive network covering the most important South American destinations and frequent service to major overseas gateways such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Madrid and Sydney. In a continuing effort to fulfill this promise, we continuously improve our cabins and review our service protocols. Our Business Cabin features a premium on-board service aimed to provide our customers with more time to rest. As for our Economy Cabin, our upgraded entertainment units make their flight a more enjoyable one. In May 2009 we completed a retrofit program for our Boeing 767-300 and for our Airbus A340-300 fleet respectively, to upgrade and improve our long-haul fleet. See “—International Passenger Operations” for a description of recent improvements to our international fleet.

In October 2010, LAN decided to renew the configuration of its B767-300s which included an increased capacity for each airplane from 221 to 238 seats. The original configuration had 191 seats in the Economy cabin and 30 seats in Premium Business cabin, the new Economy seat configuration increases to 220 and decreases the amount of Premium Business seats to 18. This configuration will be used in those sharesmarkets with a higher demand of tourism and / or low corporate travel.

Our current fleet average age is 6.9 years and it’s been decreasing since the arrival of 5 of the 32 new Boeing 787 aircraft we ordered. LAN was the first airline in the Americas, and fourth in the world, to receive this model with the latest-generation technology that was an innovation breaking point for the airline industry. Passengers can immediately experience the 787’s advantages: higher cabin humidity and increased comfort. The 787 airplanes will allow us to reach new destinations and boost LAN’s existing services while increasing the efficiency of our operations and reduce our carbon footprint. See “—International Passenger Operations” for a description of recent improvements to our international fleet.

Our short-haul operations are designed to fit our customers’ need in these routes: punctuality, reliability, more frequencies, modern aircrafts and efficient operations. To deliver this value proposition, we have been increasing our fleet and frequencies with more point-to-point flights, improved punctuality and streamlined processes including Internet sales, web and mobile check-in and airport self-check-in. As such, these routes now feature modern planes, increased frequencies with more point-to-point flights, improved punctuality and streamlined processes including Internet sales, web check-in and airport self-check-in. All of the domestic operations (Chile, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia) have the same business model which seeks to make air travel accessible to more people through low fares supported by a low-cost operation based on the efficient use of our resources. See “—Domestic Passenger Operations” for a description of recent initiatives to improve our domestic fleet, including the introduction of modern Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in most of our domestic operations.

We are constantly focused on delivering the services and flight items valued by customers in order to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and we continuously monitor our customers’ preferences through surveys and perception studies. In response to comments received from our business travelers, in November 2007 we created the new Premium Economy class on some regional routes. The Premium Economy program grants our customers preferential check-in and boarding, access to our VIP lounges, priority baggage claim, exclusive cabins with only twelve passengers, and personalized attention by our cabin attendants, among other benefits.

Our short-haul fleet is also growing and renewed with the more Airbus 320 and 321 coming during the next years. These aircrafts have the latest security standards in the industry, improvements in the interior cabin design and new seat technology. They are 13 percent lighter than the aircraft they will replace, resulting in lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. They also are more comfortable for passengers since they have leather upholstery and more in-flight entertainment screens. In addition, the upper bins have mirrors that ensure visibility of carry-on luggage among other improvements of interior design.

Our main concern is to deliver our promise to our customers. Therefore, we constantly monitor our customer satisfaction with in-flight surveys and research, and measure our performance against the highest standard levels. This commitment to excellence has paid off with several prizes and recognitions given by customers and industry experts such as Skytrax’s “2013 Best Airline in South America”, Business Traveler’s “2013 Best Business Class” and Premier Traveler USA’s “2013 Best Airline to South America”.

Branding

The “LAN” brand was launched in 2004 and brings together, under one strong international name, all of the affiliate brands such as “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” “LAN Colombia” and “LAN Ecuador.” We developed the LAN brand and corporate image after an extensive process supported by a leading global branding agency.

Our corporate image is based on two core concepts: reliability and warmth, which support our promise of the best travel experience to, from and within South America. We are also committed to offer our customers the best coverage to, from and within South America, and to promote sustainable tourism, helping develop the regions where we operate. And by best, we mean providing our customers with an excellent connection network and service; being transparent and accessible; and promote sustainable tourism in the countries where we do business. Our commercial strategy, centered on exploiting the LAN alliance concept, has been widely recognized, as exemplified by Airline Business magazine’s recognition of us in 2004 with its “Airline Strategy Award, Marketing.”

Using a single brand enabled our customers to better understand the common service and operating standards among our airlines, and our new image improved our visibility, which enhanced flexibility and increased the efficiency of our marketing efforts. It also provided a platform for the strategic use in mature markets of the following three powerful sub-brands, all connected to the LAN root:

LAN.com for the convenience of our web booking engine and services platform (not incorporated by reference herein);

LANPASS for our frequent flyer program; and

LANTOURS, a sub-brand through which we offer travel packages, hotels and other ancillary products, as well as promote tourism activities to and from the regions in which we operate. LANTOURS was first introduced in Chile and is gradually being introduced into other key markets.

Our regular brand tracking and marketing effectiveness measurements show outstanding results in brand consistency and recognition, improving year after year, with marketing investments managed at healthy and stable rates. As the corporate values behind our umbrella brand encompass attributes applicable to both operations, long-haul and short-haul, a single brand strategy has resulted in significant savings, as we only have to promote one master brand, thereby increasing the efficiency of our marketing efforts. We also closely monitor our corporate image to ensure our brand is always shown at its best.

Distribution Channels

We use direct and indirect distribution channels. In the past few years, we have focused on streamlining our distribution strategy in order to reduce costs and enhance the effectiveness of our commercial efforts. This effort has resulted in efficiency gains, and we believe it should lead to further benefits in the future.

Travel agents conduct indirect sales accounting for approximately 49.8% of passengers during 2012 and 47% in 2013. Our goal is to minimize indirect sales because of higher costs when compared to direct sales. So we are continuously introducing new projects in order to minimize the percentage of total sales that are indirect sales. We paid these travel agents standard commissions ranging from 0% to 9.3% depending on the market and the ticket region type (domestic / international). Consistent with our efforts to reduce commission costs and in line with current market practices, in recent years we have reduced standard commissions in several markets.

Travel agents obtain airline travel information and issue airline tickets through Global Distribution Systems, or GDSs, this enables them to make reservations on flights from a large number of airlines. We participate actively in all major international GDSs, including Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo and Worldspan. In return for access to these systems, we pay transaction fees that are generally based on the number of reservations booked through each system. As part of its continued commitment to its passengers, in late 2009, LAN signed a series of agreements with Sabre, one of the major suppliers of IT solutions in the global airline industry. Through these agreements, Sabre provides the Company with the most advanced technology in reservation and distribution systems, optimization of routes and operational planning. LATAM recently completed the process of implementing the new system platforms in August of 2012. This new systems platform represents a major step in terms of innovation by implementing the industry’s most advanced technology to streamline business and operational processes, and enabled us to provide itineraries that best fit the needs of passengers and to provide simpler, agile and efficient services in airports and in the sales and distribution channels, improving LAN’s services in each of the stages of the travel experience.

Direct channels refer to sales by our own ticket offices, contact-centers and website. In 2013, direct bookings accounted for approximately 65% of all our passengers.

We have an extensive sales and marketing network in over thirty countries consisting of more than 200 domestic and international points-of-sale owned by us and approximately 45 general sales agents. We charge a fee to customers for sales completed through our own ticket offices or call centers in most countries, leaving the Internet as the only free-of-charge distribution channel.

Our contact-centers support the growth of our operations constituting a sales and a multi-service channel. During 2011, we continued to grow and develop new services to match the increasing expectations of our clients and the growth of our direct sales channels, in particular the www.lan.com website. Our main contact-center located in Santiago accounts for 749 agents (of which 246 are home-based) and 212 agents in Lima. We complement our contact-center’s operations with third-party service providers that add approximately 1050 agents who are located in Santiago, Lima and Buenos Aires. In total, all the centers handle more than 37,500 calls/contacts per day, which mainly originate from the regions where we fly (South America, North America, Europe and Australasia) and cover five languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and German). We have continually upgraded our systems by incorporating technological advances to enhance efficiency and customer service.

Our website, www.lan.com (not incorporated by reference herein), is an integral part of our commercial, marketing and service efforts. Together with other direct sales initiatives, our website provides us with an important tool to reduce our distribution costs. Our Internet-related sales have increased significantly in recent years, by 22% in 2010, 22.6% in 2011, 42% in 2012, and 64% in 2013, which amounted to a total of US$1.289 million internet-related sales in 2013. We are continually improving our website, a key element of our new short-haul model, so that the technological platform can support expected future growth.

Besides serving as a sales channel, we have utilized our website as a tool to provide value-added services and enhance communications. We send weekly promotional e-mails to more than 7.9 million subscribers. Members of our frequent flyer program receive their monthly balances and other information by e-mail and can access the data and redeem awards through our website. We have an active online marketing program which brings visitors to the website from search engines and travel-related websites.

During 2009 we improved several services on the website. We introduced the flexible award redemption service, which enables LANPASS members to obtain flights with their kilometers at any time of year. We also updated our Flight Information System to ensure accurate, real time information. In addition, we continued to promote our web-based check-in service for domestic and international flights. This system allows those passengers who are not checking-in bags, to go directly to the gate, and the remaining checked-in passengers, to leave their bags at a special bag drop counter and proceed to the gate. In addition to web-based check-in, we have 283 self-check kiosks. We have 95 in Chile, 20 in Peru, 36 in Argentina, 29 in Ecuador, 10 in Venezuela, 2 in Uruguay, 46 in Brazil, 13 in Germany and 32 in Colombia. As of December 31, 2013, the kiosk and web check-in utilization rate was of 80% for domestic routes in Chile, 74% for domestic routes in Peru, 56% for domestic routes in Argentina, 56% for domestic routes in Ecuador and 51% in Colombia. We are planning to implement six kiosks at Miami and one at Easter Island. Also in 2010 we launched our LAN.com Mobile service, enabling our customers to check-in, verify their flight status and other itineraries using their internet-enabled mobile phones.

In 2010 LAN was recognized as the “Latin American e-commerce Company of the Year” by the Latin American e-Commerce Institute and in 2012 LAN was awarded with the “Best of the Web” price by the American company Compuware. Also, in 2013 LAN.com received “Electronic Commerce Leader in Tourism” by the e-Commerce Awards for Chile and Ecuador.

Electronic Ticketing

Since 2008, the Company has issued all tickets as reached a 100% penetration of e-tickets on all LAN routes and, during 2010 we completed the implementation of interline e-ticketing with all of ouroneworld® partners. By the end of 2013, we introduced electronic boarding passes accessible on smartphones. This electronic boarding pass is read by a laser pistol using a QR (quick response) code. It has been working on some routes at South America, and we hope to have 100% availibility of this feature during 2014.

Advertising and Promotional Activities

Our advertisement and promotional efforts are aimed at enhancing our brand positioning and supporting specific aspects of our commercial efforts. These activities include the use of television, print, outdoors and radio advertisements as well as direct and online marketing. We also have a growing social media presence.

During 2013, our advertising campaigns were mainly focused on continuing stimulating demand by implementing a pricing strategy that has made flying more accessible in the domestic markets and within South America to those traveling especially for tourism. We are proud of our partnerships with tour operators and tourism government agencies across the region (SERNATUR and “Chile es Tuyo” in Chile, PROMPERU in Peru, ProExport Colombia among others) which allowed us to reach new customers and to promote local and regional tourism in the markets where we operate. This is supported by the unique coverage and travel experience that we offer to those passengers traveling to, from and within South America.

We have also innovated our demand-generating advertising by promoting pre-low season specials thus making our demand curves more stable and making it possible for us to offer to our customers all our destinations at accessible prices throughout the year.

TAM’s Passenger Marketing and Sales

Within the “TAM” brand, TAM segregates its marketing strategies between domestic (short-haul) and international (long-haul).

Our long-haul strategy focuses on attributes valued by this type of client, with a number of initiatives focusing on in-flight services, which is where passengers get most of their travel experience and where high quality and comfort are the key differentials. We also view TAM’s large network as a significant differential, since TAM is the Brazilian airline with the largest international operation, offering broad coverage in South America, to Europe and the United States, as well as other international destinations through code-share agreements and alliances with other airlines.

In 2013, we started to implement initiatives in order to capture the synergies we expect, and to better align the international passengers’ travel experience for LAN and TAM.

The initiatives of synergy capture in the long haul business, include, for example, the joint purchase of in-flight entertainment, which made product standardization, content increase and savings possible, as a result of our higher purchasing power. Synergies in the onboard service, both in the short and long haul operations, were also captured as a result of an alignment in terms of the meals served in business and economy classes for LAN and TAM. This process included negotiations with suppliers, which resulted in better quality and savings.

As for the alignment of the travel experience, the main objective was the introduction of a service protocol, which includes the standardization of procedures for check-in and boarding, among others.

To strengthen TAM’s brand positioning, we invest in improving our cabins and services, and constantly monitor our corporate image through quantitative and qualitative surveys. For example, we have implemented a new quality management dynamic in TAM, which includes service panels and passenger satisfaction surveys, among others. The new dynamic includes standardized Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for TAM and LAN.

TAM short-haul operations follow international standards and meet certain client needs specific to such shorter routes, which include point-to-point frequency and operating efficiency. TAM operates two cabins (Business and Coach), maintaining the service standard by type of aircraft (narrow and wide body). Moreover, these routes are invaluable for frequent fliers since they enable the use of TAM Fidelidade membership points with no seat restrictions.

TAM operates Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft depending on demand and infrastructure restrictions. In 2010, we started the “brand elasticity” project, making air travel even more accessible through special fares for flights planned well in advance, with the focus on the tourism/leisure market, while continuing to service the important corporate market. With this project, we achieved a high rate of migration from road to air transport and an increasingly higher number of passengers that were flying for the first time.

TAM constantly focuses on delivering services and items valued by consumers to maintain client satisfaction and retention levels high. For this, we conduct various perception studies (such as NPS, brand funnel) and segmentation studies (Conjoint) to monitor and roll out action plans. As a result, in 2012 we redesigned our domestic fare profiles, making them simple and transparent for passengers, while clearly highlighting the benefits of each profile and the upsell value between bundles. Thus, passengers interested only in price have the option of more attractive fares, while those seeking additional benefits such as TAM Fidelidade membership points, priority services (baggage, check-in and boarding) and baggage allowance may access these services through a fixed preset amount. Passengers know how much they pay for additional benefits.

TAM has also implemented projects to generate additional revenues, targeting items that passengers prioritize, such as more leg room (Espaço Mais) and pre-purchase of excess baggage, among others, offered through convenient online services. During 2013, in recognition of some initiatives and goals achieved, TAM Airlines was awarded the second place in the category “Best airlines in South America” from Skytrax, only after LAN. In addition, TAM received awards such as: most reliable airline brand in the Brazilian market, according to a Survey of trustmarks, carried out by the “Seleções e pelo Ibope Inteligência” magazine; Top of mind according to Data Folha and Grupo Folha in the category “Airlines/ Transport”; Top of mind internet, according to Data Folha; and Most admired companies in the category “Airlines” in the subsector “Corporate Services” organized by the Carta Capital magazine, an important political, economic and cultural Brazilian vehicle. Additionally, TAM classified as the fifth most attractive airlines in the world in the social networks during the fourth quarter of year 2012, according to SocialBakers.

Branding

In 2008, TAM launched the strategic platform for a single brand, with TAM being the main brand that, through values, strategic positioning and language, guides other brands, services and business units, such as TAM Airlines, TAM Cargo, TAM Viagens, TAM Fidelidade, TAM nas Nuvens and others. Thus, we generate synergies among our businesses, always guided by the same values and the commitment to quality and relationship with our stakeholders.

During 2013, the frequent flyer program TAM Fidelidade completed 20 years of operation. To celebrate this date, we developed a big campaign in the social networks, where we were able to capture pictures from our clients, which we will then display in two aircraft from our fleet.

We also launched the “A gente faz um mundo por você” campaign, where we reinforced TAM’s focus on service. In line with this vision, our mission is to be the preferred airline of people, with joy, creativity, respect and responsibility.

Based on this strategic brand positioning, TAM seeks to offer accessibility to all of those who value an efficient, rewarding, safe and hassle-free experience. Whatever may be the need – whether business or leisure travel—we have created products and services that meet these needs.

Distribution Channels

TAM is constantly developing new sales channels to serve our clients, who can rely on the indirect sales channels, represented by travel agents and online travel agencies (OTA), as well as on the direct channel, through TAM.com, our call center, airport ticket offices (ATO), city ticket offices (CTO) and smart business. TAM’s call center is available 24 hours a day. We also sell tickets through our chain of stores located in the main cities of Brazil and in each airport where we operate. In addition, we significantly expanded the TAM Viagens store chain through franchises in the main cities across Brazil.

TAM was the first airline in Latin America to sell tickets online. Through TAM’s website, www.tam.com.br, users can purchase tickets online by paying or using TAM Fidelidade membership points, make reservations up to one hour prior to departure and access information related to the TAM Fidelidade program and the services available. TAM’s website is not incorporated by reference herein and shall not be considered part of this annual report.

In 2013, the indirect sales channels accounted for approximately 63% of total sales and 54% of tickets issued. One of our main challenges was to increase internet sales, which accounted for approximately 36% of total sales in the year. In terms of tickets issued, direct channels accounted for approximately 45% of all tickets, increasing substantially over the previous year.

TAM also recorded an increase of 46% in the utilization of self check-in kiosks during 2013 as compared to 2012. The average utilization for 2013 was 36%.

TAM plans to increase segmented direct sales in the leisure market and to make the booking of tickets, especially over the Internet, easier for our passengers. In 2013, we consolidated the sale of seats with increased leg room (Espaço Mais) within TAM’s e-commerce sales process and through the call center, facilitating access to this service and increasing direct sales.

During 2013, TAM launched a new service tool, with a virtual operator called Julia who is available in TAM’s site www.tam.com.br to assist passengers when needed. In addition, TAM began a check-in servisse that may be done by cellphone for flights departing from São Paulo to destinations in South America and Europe, and for flights departing from United Stated to Brazil.

Advertising and Promotional Activities

Our promotional and communications efforts are aimed at strengthening the brand positioning and providing support to specific commercial needs. These activities include initiatives in communication channels such as television, press, billboards and radio, as well as direct and online marketing.

During 2013, in order to reinforce the campaign “A gente faz um mundo por você”, we developed a promotional initiative in partnership with Coca-Cola and we materialized the Christmas dream of three Brazilian families, in the cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

In addition, we launched a search tool for airline tickets in the home page of the UOL, the main internet Brazilian portal. This initiative aims to facilitate the search for tickets and to strengthen the presence of TAM’s brand.

Frequent Flyer Program

During 2013, LATAM continued to harmonize the LAN and TAM frequent flyers programs. Each program currently operates under its own brand and regulations, however, during 2013, changes were made to both programs in order to reduce key differences and to offer its members similar features and benefits, including the creation of new tiers in both programs, harmonizing qualification criteria for top tiers, and creating new benefits in order to offer all members better value. During 2014 LANPASS and TAM Fidelidade will continue with their programs rationalization and offering new cross benefits for their top tier members.

LANPASS

LANPASS, LAN, frequent Flyer Program, is a key element of the LAN’s marketing and loyalty strategy. The objective of LANPASS is to reward customer´s loyalty, and as a consequence, LANPASS generates incremental revenue and customer retention. Worldwide, as of December 30, 2013, LANPASS had approximately 8.5 million members.

LANPASS members earn LANPASS kilometers in their accounts based on distance flown and class of ticket purchased, or by using services of other partners in the LANPASS program. Customers can redeem kilometers for free tickets or other products in an online catalogue. Under our current frequent flyer program, our passengers are grouped into one standard level and four different elite levels based on each passenger’s flying behavior. These different groups determine which benefits customers are eligible to receive, such as free upgrades on a space-available basis, VIP lounge access and preferred boarding and check-in.

In 2013 LANPASS had an increase of 22.0% in kilometers redeemed and 32.0% in award tickets redeemed by LANPASS’ members in 2012.

LANPASS has highly rated partners, including other airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, retailers, and credit card issuers from the main financial institutions in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina Uruguay, United States and Colombia with Banco de Bogotá and Occidente both members of Grupo Aval. These partnerships give our customers the opportunity to earn additional kilometers for using their services.

In the non banking segment, LANPASS continues to leverage its member’s purchase behavior to partner with leading players in the markets and become the most attractive loyalty program in the home markets. In the past years, LANPASS has entered into new industries, such as retail, supermarkets, automotive, real estate, drugstores and health care centers. As an active member of theoneworld® alliance, we have reciprocal frequent-flyer agreements with alloneworld® carriers. In addition to this, we have reciprocal agreements with other carriers, such as Alaska Airlines and Aeromexico. These agreements allow LANPASS members to accrue and redeem LANPASS kilometers on flights operated by these other carriers.

The LANPASS frequent flyer program aims to be the leading loyalty program in all of LAN’s home markets. In the past couple of years, we have implemented a number of marketing initiatives to increase customer’s engagement and activity with the program in all the markets. In 2013, membership in LANPASS continued growing at 18% in Chile, 22% in Perú, 6% in Argentina and 35% in Ecuador.

TAM Fidelidade Program

TAM’s frequent flyer program, also called TAM Fidelidade, was the first loyalty program launched by a Brazilian airline and represents a key element in TAM’s marketing strategy. LATAM believes TAM Fidelidade is the most flexible in the market because it imposes no restrictions on flights or the number of seats available when members are redeeming accumulated points. TAM Fidelidade has more than 12.2 million members and approximately 26 million redeemed tickets have been distributed since its creation in 1993. Points earned by TAM Fidelidade members must be redeemed for tickets within two years.

TAM Fidelidade customers are classified in five different categories (Branco, Azul, Vermelho, Vermelho Plus (launched in 2013) and Black) and qualification for a particular category is based on frequency of flights. The rate at which points accumulate varies depending on membership tier. The Branco card is the base level of membership and cardholders accrue points each time they fly. Azul, Vermelho, Vermelho Plus cardholders receive progressively greater benefits and increased points for miles flown; allowing the holders to accrue redeemable points for free travel more quickly. Black members have additional benefits and conveniences for our most frequent flyers, such as access to a dedicated customer service group to help meet all of their needs.

TAM joined theoneworld® alliance on March 31, 2014 and TAM Fidelidade customers are able to accrue points and redeem flights ononeworld® carrier flights.

Points earned by TAM Fidelidade members must be redeemed for tickets within two years. This two year period for redemption limits the growth in liabilities arising from Multiplus, assuming a stable trend in relation to the number of passengers we carry.

Multiplus

In 2009, TAM launched Multiplus, a company designed to create a broader network in which TAM’s customers can earn points through the TAM Fidelidade Program. Multiplus is a coalition of loyalty programs that permits the accrual of points for redemption from products and services offered by many different partner companies, not just ours. We believe this expanded network helps to capture and retain customers and increase sales. It is attractive to our less frequent flyers because it allows them to accrue loyalty points in many ways besides flying. At the end of 2013, Multiplus had 472 partner establishments, including the TAM Fidelidade Program.

Multiplus is a publicly traded company in Brazil, and TAM owns 73% of the ordinary shares of Multiplus. We believe Multiplus is a source of value generation and after its initial public offering,

The company strengthened its corporate governance, dedicating a team that, we believe, will improve sales even more. TAM Linhas Aereas and Multiplus recently entered into an amendment of their operating agreement, which governs the relationship between the two companies and the purchase of airline tickets to be used for redemptions of Multiplus points. The new amendment, effective June 1, 2013, sets a fixed value for each 10,000 Multiplus points redeemed for TAM tickets during a 12 month pricing assessment phase. At the end of the pricing assessment phase, the price of tickets will be set by reference to the then available public fare for flights from the same origin to the same destination with the same duration and flight travel plan, less an agreed discount. This discounted price will also be subject to a maximum and minimum range, calculated with reference to a 5% cost variation (increase and decrease) from the fixed price per 10,000 points applicable during the assessment phase.

(1)Information provided for the Company as of December 31, 2012 has been presented on a pro forma basis and includes pro forma operating statistics for LAN and TAM’s respective cargo operations during such period.

Our cargo business generally operates on the same route network used by our passenger airline business. It includes approximately 145 destinations, of which approximately 136 are served by passenger and/or freighter aircraft and approximately 9 are served only by freighter aircraft.

We derive our revenues roughly equally between the transport of cargo as follows:

In the bellies of our passenger aircraft. We consider our passenger network to be a key competitive advantage due to the synergies between passenger and cargo operations and, accordingly, we have developed a strategy to increase our competitiveness by enhancing our belly offering. Additionally we may purchase belly space from other airlines pursuant to interline agreements.

In our own dedicated freighter fleet. As of December 31, 2013, our dedicated freighter fleet consisted of 12 Boeing 767-300 freighters, with a capacity for 54 tons of freight each, and four Boeing 777-200 freighters, with a capacity of 104 tons of freight each. At the end of 2013, we began the process to redeliver one B767-300 freighter that was leased from a third party, which we expect should be complete during the first quarter 2014. Furthermore, from time to time as warranted by market conditions, we may charter or lease aircraft pursuant to ACMI contracts (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance). Under the latter, which are also known as “wet-leases,” the lessor operates the aircraft and provides the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance pursuant to short—and medium-term contracts.

Prior to the combination of LAN and TAM, we complemented our international cargo operations with domestic cargo services through subsidiaries and affiliates. In August 2012, Aerolinhas Brasileiras S.A. (“ABSA”), LANs Brazilian cargo affiliate, and the cargo unit of TAM began the integration of their respective operations. Following the integration, the combined cargo businesses now operate in Brazil under the brand “TAM Cargo” and are operated by ABSA. We expect to leverage the TAM Cargo brand, which has significant recognition in Brazil, to increase our presence in this market.

Our international cargo operations are headquartered in Miami. This geographical location is a natural gateway for Latin American imports and exports to and from the United States. We have operated in our 397,000 square-foot facilities within the Miami International Airport since 2001. In 2010 we upgraded this facility to enhance our ability to handle perishables and we leased an additional 114,000 square-foot warehouse close to our main facilities. Furthermore, during 2013, LAN Cargo signed a contract with Miami Dade county lease 66,000 square-feet to build a maintenance hangar with capacity to service a Boeing 777-200 freighter.

The United States accounts for the majority of the cargo traffic to and from Latin America. Besides being the main market for Latin American exports by air, the United States is also the main supplier of goods, such as high-tech equipment or spare parts, transported by air to Latin American countries.

We operate to six destinations in Europe: Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan and Paris. The last five we serve via passenger aircraft (with flights from Santiago, Lima, Guayaquil, Sao Paulo and/or Rio de Janeiro, depending on the destination), and we serve Amsterdam through freighter operations. Additionally, we also serve Frankfurt via our passenger flights and freighter operations conducted via our block space agreement with Lufthansa Cargo. For more information, see “—Cargo Agreements” below.

In Latin America, the principal origins of our cargo are Chile, Colombia, Perú, Ecuador, Brazil and Argentina, which represent a large part of our northbound traffic. For our southbound flights, Brazil is the main import market. In Brazil, we carry cargo for a variety of customers, including other international air carriers, freight-forwarding companies, export oriented companies and individual consumers. Colombia is Latin America’s largest market for exports by air to the United States, reaching an estimated 195,000 tons annually

The evolution of our international cargo operations has always been affected by the flow imbalances of the Latin American cargo markets, resulting in a dramatic shift in the relative weight of southbound and northbound cargo flows throughout the years. We have designed our operations, route network and commercial strategies with the flexibility required to respond to changing conditions.

The flexibility that this business model allows was key to LAN Cargo’s operations in 2007 when LAN Cargo saw a sharp drop in salmon exports from Chile as a result of an outbreak of the ISA virus. It also proved beneficial in 2009 when the business was affected by the contraction of import markets in response to the global economic crisis, and from 2010 to 2012 during the recovery of cargo markets. More recently it has been a key element that has allowed LATAM to weather highly competitive market conditions.

The sharp contraction of LATAM’s traditional markets in 2009—imports into the region and exports from the region – followed by the rapid recovery of demand in 2010 required the Company to fully lever the flexibility of its business model. During 2009 the Company implemented a series of measures such as the adjustment of its capacity through a reduction in the number of planes rented under Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance (“ACMI”) agreements and adjustments in the operations of its own cargo fleet of Boeing 767F freighters. This process has also been reinforced by the incorporation of four new Boeing 777-200F, the most modern and efficient cargo aircraft of their type in the world, with range of 9,045 kilometers when carrying its maximum payload. This significant investment allowed LATAM to consolidate its regional competitiveness by positioning it as the first airline in the region, and only the second internationally, to use these latest-generation cargo planes.

During 2013, cargo traffic decreased 0.8%, reflecting a challenging scenario in Latin American cargo markets due to a decline in demand on routes from USA to Latin America, especially Brazil and Argentina, which was partially offset by better demand on routes from Europe to Latin America and from Latin America to USA, as well as increased competitive pressures from regional and international cargo carriers.

Because of the difficult environment for cargo operations around the world during 2013, competition increased in the region as international carriers added idle capacity to service cargo operations. Despite this increase in competition, we have been able to maintain solid market shares by efficient utilization of our fleet and network. Today, on Latin America-United States routes, our main competitors are Centurion, AVIANCA Cargo, Atlas Air and American Airlines. On the Latin American-Europe routes, our main competitors are Cargolux, Lufthansa Cargo, Martinair, and Emirates Airlines.

Cargo Agreements

Since 2002, LAN Cargo and Lufthansa Cargo have operated pursuant to a block space agreement covering Europe and Latin America. As part of this agreement, we allocate space to Lufthansa Cargo on our flights between selected cities in Latin America and Europe, and Lufthansa Cargo allocates space to us on its flights between Europe and Brazil.

We also have interline, codeshare and other commercial agreements with Asian carriers such as Korean Airlines, JAL, China Airlines, Air China and Cathay Pacific through which we receive space allocations to move our cargo from Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong to hubs in the United States—Los Angeles, New York, Miami and also in Europe—where we can connect with our cargo network. In exchange, offer)we provide these airlines with space from these same hubs in the United States and Europe to all Latin American destinations and also provide them with westbound cargo.

Marketing and Sales

Our sales and marketing efforts are carried out directly, where we have a local office, or through general sales agents. In Latin America we have our own offices in all key markets, adding during 2013 a new office in Paraguay. In the United States, we have offices in Miami, New York and Los Angeles, and work with representatives in various other cities. In Europe, we have offices in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Madrid and Paris (opened in 2013) and use agents in other key cities. In Asia, all our sales efforts are conducted through general sales agents. In total, we maintain a network of more than thirty independent cargo sales agencies domestically and internationally.

Our cargo marketing strategy emphasizes our combination of freighter and passenger aircraft cargo capacity, which allows customers to ship large, bulky freight, as well as smaller, high-density cargo, fresh products, express shipments, and other types of cargo. Our cargo marketing strategy also emphasizes our high-quality services, scheduling flexibility and punctuality. In particular, during 2013 we renewed our focus on service including the formation of a new Customer Care team fully dedicated to proactively informing clients about any shipment problems that might arise and providing timely solutions.

On some routes, we offer special, value-added products such as Positive Flight Specific and Priority 1, which enables the customer to choose a specific passenger flight or access first available freighter capacity to transport its goods. During 2010, we launched the first phase of a new revenue management project aimed at optimizing yields, which has resulted in better capacity and overbooking administration and better pricing practices in 2011, 2012 and 2013. During 2012, we started the roll-out (in New York, Miami and Mexico) of our online booking system (e-booking) allowing our customers to make reservations 24/7.

Cargo Related Investigations

In February 2006 the European Commission (“EC”), in conjunction with the Department of Justice of the United States (“DOJ”), initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them LAN Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the European and United States air cargo markets. On December 26, 2007, the European competition authorities notified LAN Cargo and LATAM of the initiation of proceedings against twenty-five cargo airlines, among them LAN Cargo, for allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the airfreight business.

On January 21, 2009, LAN Cargo announced that it had reached a plea agreement with the DOJ in relation to the DOJ’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the plea agreement, LAN Cargo agreed to pay a fine of US$88 million. In addition, ABSA also reached a plea agreement with the DOJ and agreed to pay a fine of US$21 million. These amounts were stipulated to be paid over a five-year payment schedule starting in 2009. As of March 31, 2014, there were no amounts remaining to be paid.

On November 9, 2010, the EC imposed fines on 11 air carriers for a total amount of €800 million (equivalent to approximately US$1.1 billion). The fine imposed against LAN Cargo and its parent company, LAN, totaled €8.2 million (equivalent to approximately US$10.9 million). The Company provisioned US$25 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 for such fines, and maintained this provision until the fine was imposed in 2010. In 2010, the Company recorded a US$14.1 million gain (pre-tax) from the reversal of a portion of this provision. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results.” This was the lowest fine applied by the EC, which includes a significant reduction due to the Company’s cooperation with the Commission during the course of the investigation. In accordance with European Union law, on January 24, 2011 this administrative decision was appealed by LAN Cargo and LAN to the General Court in Luxembourg. Any judgment by the General Court may also be appealed to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The investigation by the DOJ prompted the filing of numerous civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including LAN Cargo and LATAM Airlines Group, including fifty-four in the United States. The cases filed in the United States were consolidated in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York and the original complaint was subsequently amended to include additional airlines, including ABSA. On May 11, 2011, LAN Cargo announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the class action plaintiffs in relation to this litigation. As per the settlement agreement, LAN Cargo agreed to pay US$59.7 million. Furthermore, ABSA also reached a settlement agreement with class action plaintiffs and agreed to pay US$6.3 million. The amounts were paid to plaintiffs’ counsel escrow account in 2011. DHL, a former member of the civil class action plaintiffs, timely opted out of the settlements agreement. LAN Cargo reached a settlement agreement with StarBroker A.G., on behalf of DHL Global Forwarding, whereby LAN Cargo agreed to pay US$8.2 million, of which US$7.1 million was recovered by LAN Cargo from the escrow amount set aside in the class action settlement previously paid by LAN Cargo for opt out plaintiffs.

The Canadian Competition Bureau (“CCB”), in conjunction with the DOJ, also initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them LAN Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the Canadian air cargo markets in 2006. On August 20, 2013, LAN Cargo reached a plea agreement with the CCB in relation to the CCB’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the plea agreement, LAN Cargo agreed to pay a fine of US$975,000. The CCB’s investigation prompted the filing of four separate civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including LAN Cargo and LAN, in Canada. On January 31, 2012, LAN and LAN Cargo approved a settlement agreement with the class actions plaintiffs for an amount of CAD$700,000 (Canadian Dollars).

On April 5, 2008, Brazilian authorities notified ABSA of the initiation of administrative proceedings before theConselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (CADE) against several cargo airlines and airline officers, among them ABSA, for allegations of anticompetitive practices regarding fuel surcharges in the air cargo business. On September 3, 2013, CADE published its decision to impose a fine of US$51,020,000 against ABSA. CADE also imposed fines upon a former Director and two former employees in the amounts of US$1,020,000 and US$510,000 respectively. On December 5, 2013 ABSA filed its application for Administrative Reconsideration before CADE which remains pending. ABSA will also have the right to appeal the final decision of CADE before Judge in a formal judicial proceeding. Given the current stage of the proceedings, it is not possible at this time to anticipate with any precision the outcome of this matter, although it is expected to be a lengthy process.

We operate different aircraft types as we perform various different services ranging from short-haul domestic and regional trips to long-haul trans-continental flights. We have selected our aircraft based on the ability to effectively and efficiently serve these missions while trying to minimize the number of aircraft families we operate.

For short-haul domestic and regional flights we principally operate the Airbus A320-Family aircraft and, since 2010, we also operate the Boeing 737-700 aircraft, the Dash 8-200 aircraft, and the Dash 8-Q400 aircraft. The Airbus A320-Family has been incorporated into our fleet pursuant to operating leases or has been purchased directly from Airbus pursuant to various purchase agreements since 1999.

For long-haul passenger and cargo flights we operate the Airbus A330-200 aircraft, the Airbus A340-300 aircraft, the Airbus A340-500 aircraft, the Boeing 767-300 passenger and cargo aircraft, the Boeing 777 passenger and cargo aircraft and, since the fourth quarter of 2012, the Boeing B787-816 aircraft. The Boeing 767-300 aircraft’s size and range provides an optimal alternative for most of our long-haul passenger and cargo routes. Additionally, the commonality between the passenger and dedicated cargo versions allows us to leverage the ensuing economies of scale. The Boeing 767-300 aircraft that we currently operate have been incorporated into our fleet pursuant to operating leases or have been purchased directly from Boeing pursuant to various purchase orders since 1997. Our Airbus A340-300 and A340-500 aircraft are also well-suited for long-haul routes, given their range and four-engine configuration.

During the first quarter of 2009, we initiated the process of incorporating winglets which are advanced technology devices, in all our passenger and freighter Boeing 767-300 aircraft. Winglets are placed on the wings of an aircraft and have resulted in an approximate 5% reduction in average fuel consumption per year. The total investment in this project is expected to be approximately US$100 million. As of December 2012, 52 aircraft operated by LAN have been modified. We completed the implementation of this project during 2013.

See “Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations” for a description of our purchase obligations for aircraft, for delivery between 2013 and 2019.

Fleet Leasing and Financing Arrangements

LATAM’s financing and leasing methods include borrowing from financial institutions and leasing under financial leases, tax leases, sale-leaseback transactions and pure operating leases. As of December 31, 2013, LATAM had 339 aircraft, of which 11 were in redelivery process, totaling 328 aircraft in operation. Of these aircraft, 161 are operated by LAN and 167 aircraft are operated by TAM.

As of December 31, 2013, LAN’s operating fleet was comprised of 107 financial leases, 5 tax leases, 44 operating leases and 5 unencumbered aircraft as loan guarantees. Most of the LAN’s financial and tax leases are structured for a 12-year period. LAN has 32 aircraft leases supported by the U.S. Export-Import Bank (“EXIM Bank”) and 57 supported by the European Export Credit Agencies (the “ECAs”). LAN’s operating lease maturities are within a maturity range from 2 to 12 years.

As of December 31, 2013, TAM’s operating fleet included 86 financial leases, 12 tax leases and 69 operating leases. For accounting purposes TAM classifies 9 tax leases as operating leases in the financial statements. TAM has 14 aircraft supported by EXIM Bank and 27 supported by the ECAs. TAM’s operating leases maturities are within a maturity range from 5 to 13 years.

LATAM’s aircraft debt, which is comprised of financial and tax leases, is denominated in US dollars and typically has quarterly amortization payments. The financial leases have a bank as counterparty and the tax leases have a bank and a third party involved. 69.5% of our aircraft debt has fixed rate and the balance has floating rate debt based on USD LIBOR. During 2013, LATAM refinanced and pre-financed all of its Boeing deliveries for the year with EX-IM guaranteed bonds.

Going forward, LATAM will be convertedthe entity that takes delivery and act as the lessee on all related leases of all aircraft for the group. Pursuant to this strategy, all Boeing and Airbus aircraft deliveries during 2013 (8 wide body aircraft and 27 narrow body aircraft) were made to LATAM, and LATAM has the ability to sublease them to other airlines of the group.

In order to reduce balance sheet FX exposure to the Brazilian real, LATAM plans to transfer all the TAM aircraft financial leases up to the LATAM level. As of March 31, 2014, 10 aircraft were transferred to LATAM which helped to reduce the exposure by approximately US$205 million.

During the first quarter of 2014, LATAM entered into 0.90a sale-leaseback transaction for 8 B777-300 passenger aircraft for a lease term of approximately 5 years in order to gain more flexibility in the long haul fleet.

See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources of financing” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures” for a description of expected sources of financing and expected expenditures on aircraft.

See “Item 11—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Risk of Variation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” for a further analysis about the balance sheet FX fluctuation impact

Maintenance

LAN’s Maintenance

Our heavy maintenance, line maintenance and component shops are equipped and certified to service our entire fleet of Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier aircraft. Our maintenance capabilities allow us flexibility in scheduling airframe maintenance, offering us an alternative to third-party maintenance providers.

LAN facilities at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile are among the most extensive in Latin America and have been certified according to IOSA standards and as a FAA approved repair station. Our facilities at our Santiago repair station can service the Boeing 787, Boeing 767, Boeing 777, Airbus 340 and Airbus 320 Family Aircraft fleet, as well as designing and manufacturing galleys, structures and composite materials. We also have the capability to retrofit aircraft interiors, including sophisticated in-flight entertainment equipment, and blended winglets in the Boeing 767 fleet. LAN facilities at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia can service the Boeing 737 and the Dash 8-200 fleet.

Our engineering and maintenance division is supervised by the local DGAC and it is subjected to several recurrent external audits from civil aviation authorities and international entities such as the FAA, the ArgentineAdministración Nacional de Aviación Civil(“ANAC”), the BrazilianAgencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (“ANAC”), the EcuadorianDirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (“DGAC Ecuador”), the PeruvianDirección General de Aeronáutica Civil(“DGAC Peru”), the ColombianUnidad Administrativa Especial de Aeronáutica Civil (the UAEAC), the International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (“IOSA”) (from the International Air Transport Association or “IATA”) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”), in order to strictly comply with applicable regulations. The audits are conducted in connection with each country’s certification procedures and enable us to continue to perform maintenance for aircraft registered in the certificating jurisdictions. Our repair station holds FAA Part-145 certifications under these approvals.

We also rely on third parties for certain maintenance support for our aircraft and engines, where long term partnerships take place with the following MROs (Maintenance Repair and Overhaul facilities): Lufthansa Technik provides our Airbus A320-Family Aircraft and A340 Aircraft component support. International Aero Engines, CFM International and Pratt & Whitney, provides the A320 Family engine maintenance services. General Electric also provides engine maintenance services for Boeing 767-300 aircraft as well as Air France KLM for the Boeing 777-300F, which also includes components support.

Occasionally, we perform certain maintenance services for other airlines.

Our aircraft maintenance personnel participate in extensive training programs at the jointly operated Lufthansa LAN Technical Training S.A., located in Santiago, Chile.

LAN continues to benefit from the implementation of LEAN in heavy and line maintenance. Heavy maintenance is performed approximately every 12–18 months or a specific amount of actual flight hours as defined by the manufacturer, while line maintenance is performed on a daily basis. Since 2009, we have achieved a reduction of approximately 30% to 40% in the time an aircraft remains at the hangar. Moreover, we achieved a reduction of over 20% in the time for some of the most demanding tasks in line maintenance and over 30% increase on workers’ productivity. Other benefits of LEAN include a reduction of approximately 19% in labor accidents in heavy maintenance areas, a reduction of approximately 80% on delayed deliveries of aircraft from programmed maintenance, and a considerable improvement on dispatch reliability. Furthermore, LEAN has had important benefits in terms of employee motivation, by establishing clear roles, setting new challenges and rewarding team achievements.

TAM’s Maintenance

In 2013 we started the process of integrating TAM MRO capabilities and processes with LAN Heavy Maintenance capabilities and Heavy Maintenance outsourcing in a new coordinating LATAM MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) structure.

The LATAM MRO Business Unit provides services mainly for LATAM fleet but provides services for third-party customers as well. It has facilities in São Carlos (SP/Brazil) Technological Center in its own area of 100,000 m�� with a dedicated runway of 1,720 meters and a facility in Santiago International Airport (Chile).

MRO São Carlos (TAM MRO) is certified and audited by major international aeronautical authorities such as FAA (USA), EASA (Europe), ANAC (Brazil), DGAC (Chile), ANAC Argentina, DGCA (Ecuador), DINAC (Paraguay), TC (Canada), among others, for Heavy Maintenance and Components Repair and Overhaul for Airbus A-320 family (A318, A319, A320 & A321) and Airbus A330, Boeing 767, ATR-42/72, and Embraer E-Jet 170/190 families. TAM MRO also has some minor capabilities for repair and overhaul of Airbus A340 and Boeing 777 components. MRO Santiago (LAN Heavy Maintenance) is certified and audited by FAA, ANAC (Brazil), DGAC (Chile), ANAC Argentina, DGCA (Ecuador), among others for Heavy Maintenance for Airbus A320 family (A319, A320 & A321), Boeing 767 and 787. Both MRO facilities are FAA Part-145 certified repair stations.

In 2013 we expanded our capacity by one hangar in MRO São Carlos and now we can accommodate 7 aircraft (Narrowbody/Widebody) and 2 Regional/Turboprop aircraft simultaneously, and we have a dedicated hangar for stripping and painting. In that facility we also have 22 technical shops, including full Landing Gear repair & overhaul shop, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Electronics (ATEC), Electrical Components, Electroplating, Composites, Wheels & Brakes, Interiors and Escape Slides shops. In Santiago we have 2 hangars with 2 widebody slots and 1 narrowbody slot.

In 2013, TAM MRO effectively applied 1.5 million man-hours (a 10% increase compared with 2012), serviced 168 aircraft, including C, D and Special Checks for LATAM fleet and for third party customers, delivered approximately 58,000 components and performed 14 landing gear overhauls. In 2013, TAM MRO serviced almost 100% of all TAM’s Airbus A320 family and A330 demand for Heavy Maintenance, and 75% of demand for Components Repair & Overhaul. We expanded pursuing services for LAN fleet, reaching 15 Heavy Checks. TAM’s external maintenance and repair customers include Azul, Trip, Avianca, the Brazilian Air Force, Embraer, Goodrich, and Hamilton Sundstrand, among others.

TAM’s structure in São Carlos includes engineering capabilities, a full technical training center which develops TAM’s capabilities in terms of human skills with more than 6,000 students and 90,000 hours of training in 2013, providing 80 different basic courses, on-the-job training and special training such as structural, avionics, foreign language and leadership training and education.

In 2011 TAM started a turn-around process to achieve international MRO competitive standards in terms of costs, quality, reliability and time of deliveries (TAT). In 2012 TAM began to implement the LEAN system and other activities, including continuous process improvement culture, redesign of the production methodology in productive cells and scheduling of task through CCPM methodology (Critical Chain Project Management), development of shop-floor control systems and carry out VSM process modeling for Landing Gear shop. 2013 was the year of consolidation of these initiatives and in 2013 we accomplished a significant 7% reduction in turnaround times, increased ontime performance and improved quality of our services (as measured by reductions in post-check failures and premature components failures).

TAM’s line maintenance is fully capable to provide services to all types of Airbus and Boeing aircraft of TAM fleet. Operations in TAM’s extensive network of 41 domestic destinations are supported by TAM maintenance staff; in the international maintenance line stations, there is a mix of TAM staff and qualified outsourced line maintenance providers.

TAM’s maintenance and engineering organization in Brazil is supervised by the Brazilian Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (‘ANAC’). TAM Mercosur’s operations are supervised by the Paraguayan Dirección Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil (‘DINAC’). All operations are subjected to periodic audits by these regulatory authorities. As IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA)-certified airlines, TAM and TAM Mercosur are also periodically audited by IOSA-qualified Audit Organizations to guarantee fully compliance with applicable regulations.

In addition to the broad capability of TAM heavy maintenance facilities in São Carlos for aircraft and components, TAM relies on a range of qualified third parties maintenance providers, including MTU Aero Engines in Germany and GE Celma In Brazil for Airbus A320-Family IAE and CFM engines, General Electric facilities in USA and Europe for A330, B767 and B777 GE engines and Pratt & Whitney in Singapore for A330 P&W engines. Third parties also provide certain additional components applicable to TAM fleets.

LATAM Safety and Security

LATAM has been working to standardize LAN and TAM’s operational indicators regarding safety, audits and emergency response. This process of identifying synergies in LAN and TAM’s operational indicators has led to opportunities to improve processes and standardize operational processes and audits.

LAN’s Safety and Security Corporate Direction

The Safety and Security Corporate Direction (“SSCD”) is an internal division in charge of the management of safety and security matters related to flight operations, operative and administrative buildings, organization and coordination of emergency response matters, safety and security audits and safety and occupational health.

The SSCD reports directly to LAN’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), which reflects the firm commitment that the Company’s senior management has to the Safety & Security. The SSCD is comprised of five independent reporting management areas: safety management, security management, emergency response management, Safety & Security Audit management and Safety and Occupational Health Management.

Safety Management

We give high priority to providing safe and reliable air service. We have uniform safety standards and safety-related training programs that cover all of our operations. LAN has implemented a System called LAN I-AMS (LAN Integrated Airline Management System) throughout the operational areas of the Company, which is certified by the Chilean DGAC and IOSA System. The LAN I-AMS integrates Safety, Safety Assurance, Emergency Response, Security and Occupational Safety and Health management and provides clear definitions of the functions and responsibilities regarding safety for all persons involved, from the top to the bottom of the operational structure of the airline. It strengthens the commitment and knowledge required from everyone in the Company regarding any and all actions that could affect safety.

The Operational Safety Senior Manager (“SSM”) is responsible for the Operational Safety Oversight and the implementation of the LAN I-AMS. The SSM supervises a staff of approximately 21 safety specialists of different backgrounds, including pilots, aeronautical engineers, aircraft maintenance engineers, a psychologist, and dangerous goods and ground handling safety specialists.

Our corporate operational safety organization consists of three main areas:

Flight Safety Management: The Flight Safety Area oversees and audits our operational safety measures, investigates major incidents and programs and controls the LOSA and FOQA Programs (as defined below). The Flight Safety Area also oversees and audits safety measures related to ground handling and cargo areas and investigates related incidents.

Maintenance Safety Management: The Maintenance Safety Area oversees and audits our maintenance safety measures and investigates maintenance-related incidents.

Flight Data Monitoring Management: The Flight Data Monitoring Area is responsible for the maintenance and administration of the recorded flight data and safety-related databases and software.

The main safety programs, elements and procedures include:

Flight Operations Quality Assurance (“FOQA”). Since the end of 2002, LAN has been implementing a Flight Data Monitoring (“FDM”) program using two different analysis programs. The FDM program is fully developed for the A320-Family Aircraft, A340, Boeing B767, B787 and B777 fleet. The statistical information obtained has produced standard operational procedure changes and valuable inputs to the Advance Qualification Program project. We have also fully developed a maintenance variation for the same fleets which monitors the engines, flight controls and general performance of the airplanes.

Mandatory Occurrence and Mandatory Reports. Our operations policy manuals define the incidents that require a mandatory report. On a voluntary basis, personnel can provide confidential reports to the flight safety area in hard copy or electronic form.

Safety Information Management. All safety information regarding all occurrences is entered into dedicated software Aviation Quality Database (AQD), where it is analyzed according to its potential risk. Important incidents are investigated thoroughly. The relevant areas related to each particular incident implement corrective actions with the assistance of the corporate operational safety directory.

Line Operation Safety Audit (“LOSA”). LOSA is a program designed to survey and analyzes the safety components of our equipment and operations. LOSA observations have been conducted on the A-340, A-320 and Boeing B767 fleets. In 2007, a second LOSA observation has been applied to the A-340 fleet, which has given important information of the effectiveness of the corrective actions recommended by the first observation conducted in 2004. The LOSA program will be applied to all A320 fleets in 2014 and is expected to be applied to the B787 fleet during 2016.

Human Factors Program. This program is based on a manual developed by LAN that includes all interconnectivities between flight operations and human factors. The program includes a Fatigue Risk Management Program that is being implemented since 2008. The program also includes Crew Resource Management and Flight Crews Training and study of incidents using the Threat and Error Management (“TEM”) model.

We also periodically evaluate the skills, experience and safety records of our flight crews in order to maintain strict control over the quality of our flight crews. All of our aircraft pilots participate in training programs, some of which are sponsored by aircraft manufacturers, and all are required to undergo recurrent training.

Our operational safety committee, composed of senior executives and key operational managers, is responsible for the initiation of safety-related actions.

All of our Boeing 767, A320 Family, A340 and Boeing 777 and 787 fleets are equipped with an enhanced ground proximity warning system, a traffic collision avoidance system, a wind shear detection system and reduced vertical separation minimum capabilities.

Security Management

The main policy and the essential principle of the Company is to ensure an adequate security protection to all its flights, aircraft, passengers, crew members, ground personnel, airport facilities and other services related to the commercial civil aviation against any threat or unlawful action.

We have implemented corporate policies and a quality management system through the operational system to detect any lack of security in its operations and prevent acts of unlawful interference. Risk analysis is used to determine different levels of security to be implemented to international and domestic operations.

The Security Corporate Manager (“SCM”) has the responsibility to evaluate, analyze and assign risk levels (high, medium, low) to international and domestic operations, proposing security procedures for each scenario. The SCM leads an organization of eight security specialists. These specialists analyze high risk flights and all the aspects of the operation that could cause an impact in the normal daily activities of the Company. Finally, the security management is controlled and audited constantly. The current SCM is a former police officer with more than 20 years of experience in the civil aviation.

The corporate security organization has three main areas: standards, procedures and quality control; planning and management control; and dangerous goods. Additionally, our SCM gives support to the different areas of the Company related to training, internal investigations, and travel documentation assistance.

Since 2002, the Company’s Corporate Security Manual has unified international and domestic security procedures, including local security procedures; airport security programs for each country in which we have operations, which includes procedures to prevent unlawful conduct and procedures for a bomb threat or hijacking drill; corporation security training programs regarding the acceptance of aircraft, baggage, cargo and passengers an airport security audit procedures regarding airport inspections; and identification of security issues and corrective action plans for non-compliance.

Emergency Response Management

The emergency response management team is responsible for the administration of the Emergency Response Plan (ERP). It has been developed for the effective management of different kinds of emergencies (aircraft accidents, natural disasters, strikes, pandemics) with the purpose of mitigating impacts of emergencies on passengers and their relatives, as well as the Company’s operations.

The ERP includes:

Emergency process and procedures approved by the authority and supported by the Emergency Response Preparation Manual.

Emergency Control Center in Santiago, Chile, includes three principal rooms for: the Emergency Executive Committee, the Emergency Response Committee and the Media Monitoring & Communications Coordination Committee.

Relatives & Passengers Assistance Team (the “APF Team”), a team of volunteers that we deploy for assistance of employees, crew, passengers and their relatives.Our APF team is complemented by service vendors.

Notification Team, located in the Call Center Offices, Santiago, Chile, notify individuals designed by passengers as an emergency contact number.

Assistance Center, located in the Call Center Offices, Santiago, Chile, where about 300 agents working through 14 toll free lines can be activated for receiving calls from relatives and friends of passengers involved in an emergency situation. The Assistance Center telephone numbers will be published by the Company (on its EWS) and by media, in case of emergencies.

Emergency Web Site (EWS), which will replace LATAM’s commercial web site and be activated as soon as an emergency or accident occurs. The EWS be a resource for flight information (check-in, flight status, etc.) and general information, and will contain press releases and other information (including notices by the APF Team and Assistance Center) in an emergency.

Security Management Manager

The main policy and the essential principle of security management is to ensure an adequate security protection for all TAM’s flights, aircraft, passengers, crew members, ground personnel, airport facilities and other services related to the commercial civil aviation against any threat or unlawful action. TAM has implemented corporate policies and a quality management system through the operational system to detect any lack of security in its operations. Audits and assessments are used to assign different levels of security to international and domestic operations.

The Corporate Security Manager (“CSM”) has the responsibility to evaluate, analyze and assign threat levels (high, medium, low) to international and domestic operations, and to propose security procedures for each scenario. The CSM is responsible for managing and coordinating security processes, procedures, measures and controls in accordance with the requirements described in the National Civil Aviation Security Programme, and participating in the development, implementation and continuous improvement of Airport Contingency Plans where TAM operations are conducted.

The Corporate Security Organization has four main areas:

Airport Security: This area has as its main goal to protect the organization against acts of unlawful interference. This team is formed by Supervisors and Security Agents (Document Screeners/AVSEC Security Agents) based at Guarulhos (GRU), Galeão (GIG), Manaus (MAO), Brasília (BSB) and Confins (CNF). The Corporate Security Department provides all resources necessary for maintenance of the security level appropriate to every international and domestic operations, working, cooperation and partnership basis with all other members of the Civil Aviation Security System, aiming solely to minimize threat risks in the company.

Corporate Risks: This area is responsible for conducting fraud investigations, risk prevention and background checks.

Processes & Procedures for domestic and international operations;

Corporate Security Training Program, which includes the contents and definitions regarding security training for all areas involved in acceptance of aircraft, baggage, cargo and passengers;

Airport Security Inspection Program. It has the contents and definitions regarding airport inspections and identification of security issues and corrective action plans for non-compliance.

Emergency Response Management Manager

The emergency response area is responsible for the administration of the Emergency Response Plan (ERP). It has been developed for the effective management of accidents and serious incidents with the purpose of mitigating any impacts on the passenger and their relatives and the operations.

The ERP consists mainly of:

Emergency Procedures. TAM has established a strong documented response to an adverse operational event that would force it to implement the various corporate resources in order to minimize the impact on the organization and deal with human impact with empathy and compassion.

Facilities: The Emergency Response Center (ERC) includes three principal areas: the Executive Committee, the Crisis Management Committee (CMC) and the Public Relations Monitoring Area, each of which are located in São Paulo, Brazil.

Station Response: According to IAC 200-1001, each TAM Station has its Local Emergency Plan and it will coordinate the assistance to victims and families with the CMC in Sao Paolo.

Assistance: TAM’s provide assistance to survivors and family members at the site in the immediate aftermath of an aircraft accident or incident.

Special Assistance Team (SAT). We have a humanitarian assistance program that we deploy for family and passenger assistance, with around 2,150 total active volunteers.

Go Team. We have a special team that will be deployed right after an occurrence involving passengers, crew or third parties affect by an occurrence involving TAM aircraft.

Telephone Enquiry Center. Our telephone enquiry center is located in São Paulo, Brazil, at our call-center office and has 630 agents in Sao Paulo and 150 agents in Buenos Aires. There are 180 lines available to establish a toll free number only for family members and victims in Brazil.

Personnel Effects: TAM has contract with service vendor to provide property recovery and restoration, and disaster mortuary services.

Aircraft Recovery: TAM has used the Recovery Kit since 2008, which is certificated by International Airlines Technical Poll (IATP). The agreement signed with the IATP provides that all member airlines may use the TAM´s equipment and staff in the region. The equipment is applied to any type of aircraft (including A380).

Flight Data Monitoring

The Flight Data Monitoring Area is responsible for the maintenance and administration of recorded flight data and safety-related databases and software.

Flight Operations Quality Assurance—“FOQA”

Since May 2002, TAM has utilized a Flight Data Monitoring (“FDM”) program. The FDM program is fully developed for the A320-Family Aircraft, A330, Boeing B767 and B777 fleet. The statistical information obtained produces recommended standard operational procedure changes and other safety-related measures. We have started the development of a LAN common share. Becausemaintenance variation for the Holdco II mergersame aircraft types which will occur immediately beforemonitor the settlementengines, flight controls and general performance of the exchange offer, holdersairplanes.

Maintenance Safety Coordinator

The Maintenance Safety Area oversees our maintenance safety measures and investigates maintenance-related incidents using the Maintenance Error Decision Aid (“MEDA”) methodology.

Cabin Safety Coordinator

The cabin safety area coordinator is responsible for managing the safety of aircraft cabins, cabin safety investigations, cabin passengers and flight attendants.

Investigation & Safety Information Management Coordinator

All information regarding safety-related incidents is entered into dedicated software, where it is analyzed according to potential risk. Important incidents are investigated thoroughly. Each particular incident requiring corrective actions is addressed accordingly with the assistance of the corporate operational safety directory.

ASR—Aviation Safety Report Coordinator

The Aviation Safety Report (“ASR”), catalogues all confidential safety reports submitted by employees of the company. The ASR is an important tool for accident prevention. The management of the ASR system through the Aviation Quality Database (“AQD”) allows for the sharing of information and facilitates corrective actions by the Company). This system includes features to classify risk reports for management.

All ASR reporting is subjected to the following basic process within the AQD:

Analysis of facts and risks involved;

Issue relevant to the sector analysis and response;

Issuance of Note—Recommendation and / or Safety Bulletin;

Response to the author (if identified) attaching a copy of the ASR process.

Mandatory Occurrence and Mandatory Reports Coordinator

The Authority Operational Policy manual defines the incidents and occurrences that require mandatory reporting. Those reports are created by the Safety Department of the Company.

LOSA—Line Operations Safety Audit Coordinator

This program was recognized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”) ( and National Civil Aviation Agency—Brazil (“ANAC”) as a necessary tool to protect passengers and employees.

The implementation of this program has been used to improve flight safety in the Company, by recording behaviors observed during normal flights for experienced pilots and through the preparation of a mandatory checklist (form) developed by experienced pilots familiar with the program. Observations by the Threat and Error Management (“TEM”) may even propose appropriate changes to the system and processes.

MAS—Maintenance Assessment Survey Coordinator

This program is similar to the LOSA program, applied to the mechanics of the aircraft, following a methodology known as the Maintenance Climate Assessment Survey (“MCAS”) which is utilized by the Department of Defense (United States Government), as in other Brazilian and international airlines, with the goal of improving processes and system based on assessments of human behavior in maintenance activities.

Airport infrastructure, Air traffic control and Ground Handling Coordinator

This area of the Company is responsible for identifying and analyzing risks related to Airports, and ATC and Ground handling. This area of the Company utilizes tools such as: Airport Surveys, ASR, FOQA Analysis, accident and Incident Investigations to develop ways to reduce risk to acceptable levels.

Other Safety and Security Procedures

In addition the specific policies discussed above, LATAM maintains various other internal divisions and employees specifically designated to manage safety planning and maintenance, investigation, data collection and reporting regarding safety related events.

Fuel Supplies

Fuel costs comprise the single largest category of our operating expenses. Over the last years, our fuel consumption and operating expenses have increased due to the significant growth in our operations and to the increase in fuel prices as a result of economic and political factors. In 2013 total fuel costs represented 35.0% of our total operating expenses. The into-wing price for 2013, (average fuel price plus taxes and transportation costs, including hedge) was US$3.48 per gallon, representing a decrease of 5.6% from the 2012 into-wing pro forma average fuel price. We can neither control nor accurately predict the volatility of fuel prices. Despite the foregoing, it is possible to partially offset the price volatility risk through our hedging and fuel surcharge programs in place in both our passenger and cargo business. For more information, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk of Fluctuations in Jet Fuel Prices.”

The following table details our consolidated fuel consumption and operating expenses (which exclude fuel costs related to charter operations because fuel expenses are covered by the entity that charters the flight) during the last three years.

Total fuel costs (US$ thousands) include hedging gains/losses.

Our fuel supply arrangements vary by airport and are distributed on 26 providers, but are mainly concentrated in Brazil (50%), Chile (12%) and Perú (8%). During 2013, we negotiated our fuel supply in major European, North American and South American airports. In 201_, we renegotiated our entire fuel supply in Chile and closed a long term agreement with the main player in this market (Joint Venture Copec – Air BP).

In 2013, we also signed a long term contract with Shell and YPF in Argentina. In North America our main airports are Miami and New York, where we signed contracts with WFS and Air BP respectively securing our supply in complex markets.

In others countries Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay, we continued working with our current suppliers (including Raizen , Petrobras, Petroperu, Exxon , Repsol, Petroecuador, Terpel, Axxion, among others.) regarding our fuel supply arrangements in these countries and many of these supply agreements will be negotiated during 2014.

Ground Facilities and Services

Our main operations are based at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile. We also operate from various other airports in Chile and abroad. We operate hangars, aircraft parking and other airport service facilities at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport and other airports throughout Chile pursuant to concessions granted by the DGAC. We also maintain one customs warehouse at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, additional customs warehouses in Chile (Iquique, Antofagasta and Punta Arenas) and Argentina (Aeroparque) and operate cargo warehouses at the Miami International Airport to service our cargo customers. Our facilities at Miami International Airport include corporate offices for our cargo and passenger operations and temperature-controlled and freezer space for imports and exports.

We also operate significant ground facilities and services through TAM’s headquarters located at Congonhas International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. In 2013, we inaugurated two new facilities for ground handling equipment maintenance and repair at São Paulo’s Guarulhos Airport with 9,000 m² and at Rio de Janeiro’s Galeão Airport with 4,000 m².

Finally, we incur certain airport usage fees and other charges for services performed by the various airports where we operate, such as air traffic control charges, take-off and landing fees, aircraft parking fees and fees payable in connection with the use of passenger waiting rooms and check-in counter space.

Ancillary Airline Activities

In addition to our airline operations, we generate revenues from a variety of other activities, including revenue from aircraft leases (including subleases, dry-leases, wet-leases and capacity sales to certain alliance partners) and charter flights, from tours, from duty-free in-flight sales, from other maintenance, storage and customs, handling and activities and revenues of Multiplus. In 2013, LATAM generated other revenues of US$342 million from ancillary activities.

Insurance

We maintain insurance policies as required by law and in accordance with the terms of all aircraft leasing agreements which LATAM and their affiliates and subsidiaries may own or we are responsible for or operate, including TAM sharesand its affiliates and subsidiaries. The scope of these policies includes all risk coverage for aircraft hulls, including war risks and third party legal liability for passengers, cargo, baggage and injuries to third parties on the ground. Our current policies, which are in force through April 1, 2014 and are renewed annually, follow the best practices adopted by the international civil aviation industry.

We have negotiated common terms for Hull All Risk, Aviation Legal Liabilities and Spares coverage, together with IAG Group (British Airways, Iberia and their affiliates and franchises), which allows us to obtain premium reductions and coverage improvements. We also maintain insurance in respect of the assets against the risk of theft, fire, flood, electrical damage and similar events for equipment and buildings we own or for which we are responsible, including airport areas where we have operations. Similarly, we have contracted for vehicle insurance against the risk of robbery, theft, fire and civil liability against third parties for all vehicles we own or for which we are responsible.

Information Technology

General

We use information technology in almost every aspect of our business.

Passenger Service System

Our reservations, departure control (check-in), inventory, flight planning and baggage tracing systems (“Passenger Service Systems, or “PSS”) are operated by Sabre, and SITA, and we operate our internal systems from two data center facilities in Santiago, Chile. In 2006, we implemented a Disaster Recovery Plan between those two sites in order to ensure the functionality of our critical systems, with a recovery time objective of four days. The line of business infrastructure currently has an average recovery time of two hours for 80% of our systems and two days for the remaining 20%. In 2012, we completed a significant “HOST” change from multiple legacy applications to implement a single supplier (Sabre) for our PSS, which contains the reservation, inventory and departure controls for LATAM Airlines Group.

Third-party suppliers provide us with the following technical infrastructure elements:

wide-area data network (provided mainly by SITA and Telefónica); and

data centers and desktop operations and support (provided by Accenture and HP).

Basic Infrastructure Operation

Since early 2010, we have outsourced our IT infrastructure with Accenture and IBM worldwide. During 2011 IBM managed the data center and Accenture handled our desktop equipment. In 2012 we changed the company in charge of managing of our data center from IBM to HP.

Between 2010 and 2013, LAN upgraded its IT platform and optimized its solution for contingencies in case of a disaster.

Front-End Systems

We employ a strategy of encouraging and facilitating self-service alternatives for customers, through improving the functionality of the www.lan.com website as well as implementing self check-in kiosks in airports. During 2009, we deployed a new online system in order to provide the processes that our engineering, maintenance and materials areas develop, with technological solutions. This project has allowed us to establish and automate simple and integrated processes, standardize processes for the Company (including our subsidiaries and related companies), facilitate handling of materials and maintenance, make relevant information available in a full, unique and consistent way to all users, and optimize distribution and execution (planned and non planned), among other benefits.

Enterprise Resource Planning

In 2002, we purchased an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system from SAP. This system, which was fully implemented in the second quarter of 2004 for LAN and almost all of its subsidiaries, includes modules covering areas such as: finance, accounting, inventory management, human resources, business warehouse, as well as a user-friendly portal.

Development and Maintenance System

With respect to new development needs, our first choice is to acquire existing packaged software, but we outsource this service when such software is not available in the market. Since early 2007, we have outsourced our IT system development to four principal vendors: TATA Consultancy Services, Everis, Accenture and Indra.

Business Initiatives

The purchase of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, Boeing’s most fuel efficient aircraft and the world’s first e-enabled airplane, has been a significant challenge for our technology processes since the airplane needs more connectivity to network, optimized hardware and software and constant support.

Integration between LAN and TAM

Following the combination, we are undertaking a project to unify the IT applications of LAN and TAM ADSs acquired inand to develop a plan to integrate LAN and TAM´s business processes and applications. The main focus was:

evaluate LAN and TAM’s applications and processes

align IT strategy for LATAM

define the exchange offer will receive 0.90 offinal application architecture for LATAM

define an integrated technical architecture and infrastructure as well as a LAN common sharemodel for each TAM share or TAM ADS so acquired. Holders of TAM sharesbusiness and TAM ADSs who tender intotechnical applications maintenance

build the exchange offer throughaction plan, including the US exchange agent will receive such LAN common shares inimplementation roadmap, its phases, investments and impact on the form of LAN ADSs, which will be evidenced by LAN ADRs. Holders of TAM shares who tender their TAM shares in the Auction on Bovespa will receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDSs, which will be evidenced by Brazilian Depositary Receipts (“LAN BDRs”).

current projects.

As a result of this roadmap, LATAM will prioritize initiatives in 2014 that are most valuable for integrating IT operations, which include:

ERP: Finance, procurement, budget and planning, human resources and employee internal portal

Aircraft Maintenance system

Commercial area systems: Revenue Accounting, Revenue Management and BI Commercial

Operations management systems: To optimize flight route and crew schedule

Host system strategy: To define LATAM’s host system

To implement these prioritized projects, we estimated an investment of approximately US$45.6 million. During 2013 the Sister Holdco merger, each Sister Holdco sharefollowing innicatives were implemented:

ERP: budget and planning, human resources and employee internal intranet.

Operations management systems: To optimize crew schedule

Commercial area systems: Revenue Management International and BI Commercial I.

In addition, during 2014 the following systems implementations will be converted into 0.90finalized:

ERP: Finance, procurement

Aircraft Maintenance system

Commercial area systems: Revenue Accounting

TAM integration to Oneworld

Central IT Operations:

Regarding the IT central infrastructure, LATAM’s technical model was designed to support not only the implementation of LATAM’s system applications but also the implementation of integrated datacenter and telecommunications (data and voice) solutions. The integrated IT model will require future investments of approximately US$13.6 million.

In 2013, we established a unified outsourcing contract with HP to manage LAN common share. Because all& TAM´s Data Center, this services is now provided by HP. We are currently working to consolidate TAM´s 3 Data Centers in only one. In 2014 we will define a new DRP model (Disaster Recovery Plan) for LATAM, which will be implemented in 2015.

Regarding the computer platform, the current type of equipment that TAM holds are being standardized (desktops and Laptops) with those used by our other subsidiaries. In addition the procurement model is changing from renting to purchasing the assets. As a result there is only one customer support model, which will optimize costs and improve services quality. Customer support is currently provided by Accenture and IBM.

In 2013, we selected SITA as the main vendor to provide a consolidated telecommunications network between LAN & TAM, in addition to Telefonica and OI. Implementation is scheduled for 2014.

Regulation

Below is a brief reference to the material effects of aeronautical and other regulations in force in each of the Sister Holdco shares will be owned byrelevant jurisdictions in which LAN and its subsidiaries operate.

Chile

Aeronautical Regulation

Both the TAM controlling shareholders indirectly through TEP Chile immediately priorDGAC and the JAC oversee and regulate the Chilean aviation industry. The DGAC reports directly to the Sister Holdco Merger, they will receive LAN common sharesChilean Air Force and is responsible for supervising compliance with Chilean laws and regulations relating to air navigation. The JAC is the Chilean civil aviation authority. Primarily on the basis of Decree Law No. 2,564, which regulates commercial aviation, the JAC establishes the main commercial policies for the TAM shares they contributedaviation industry in Chile, regulates the assignment of international routes, and the compliance with certain insurance requirements, and the DGAC regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authority from the Chilean government to TEP Chile atconduct flight operations, including authorization certificates from the same exchange ratio asJAC and technical operative certificates from the holdersDGAC, the continuation of TAM shareswhich is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and TAM ADSs acquiredregulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the exchange offer.future.

If permitted by Brazilian law, TAM will compulsorily redeem all TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) that were not acquiredChile is a contracting state, as well as a permanent member, of the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations established in 1947 to assist in the exchange offer.

Ifplanning and development of international air transport. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the exchange offer is completed,international aviation industry, which Chilean authorities have incorporated into Chilean laws and regulations. In the TAM shares will be delisted automatically from Bovespa. Ifabsence of an applicable Chilean regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the TAM ADSs are no longer eligible for listing onDGAC has incorporated by reference the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the NYSE does not delist them, then TAM intends to request, as it is required to do so by the transaction agreements, that the TAM ADSs be delisted from the NYSE as soon as is reasonably practicable following the effective time of the mergers if permitted by the rules of the NYSE. At the effective time, the LAN BDSs will be listed in Brazil on Bovespa, the LAN common shares will continue to be listed in Chile on theBolsa de Comercio de Santiago(Santiago Stock Exchange) (“SSE”) and in the United States on the NYSE in the form of LAN ADSs, and LAN’s name will be changed to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.”

TAM Shareholders’ Meeting

At a duly called shareholders’ meeting held on January 3, 2012 (at which the requisite quorum of the qualifying minority shares was present), the holders of qualifying minority shares had the option to select, by vote of a majority of the votes cast atICAO’s technical standards. We believe that meeting, one of three recommended appraisal firmswe are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes.Chilean airlines are not required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes, but only to select Bradesco ascomply with the appraiser (the “Appraiser”)technical and to adopt asinsurance requirements established respectively by the Appraisal Report the appraisal report prepared by Bradesco valuing each of LAN and TAM as of November 23, 2011, in accordance with CVM 361/2002, which was presented at that meeting. At this meeting, the holders of qualifying minority shares unanimously approved Bradesco as the AppraiserDGAC and the appraisal report prepared by Bradesco asJAC. There are no regulatory barriers that would prevent a foreign airline from creating a Chilean subsidiary and entering the Appraisal Report. IfChilean domestic market using that subsidiary. On January 18, 2012 the holdersSecretary of qualifying minority shares had exercised their right under Brazilian lawTransportation and the Secretary of Economics of Chile announced steps towards unilaterally opening the Chilean domestic skies in the near term.

International Routes.As an airline providing services on international routes, LAN is also subject to requesta variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that TAM call a special meeting of the shareholders of TAM to vote upon whether or not to request a new appraisal report and to appoint a new appraiser, then TAM would have been required to take all action necessary to establish a record dateprovide for duly call, give notice of, convene and hold such a special meeting no later than 45 days after the request for such special meeting. As discussed below under “—Transaction Agreements—Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer” it is a condition to the completion of the exchange offerof air traffic rights between Chile and various other countries. There can be no assurance that since the commencement date, no appraisal event has occurred, the holders of the qualifying minority shares shall have not requested a new appraisal reportexisting bilateral agreements between Chile and foreign governments will continue, and a new appraiser in accordance with Brazilian law and the holdersmodification, suspension or revocation of the qualifying minority shares shall no longer have the right to request a new appraisal reportone or a new appraiser. The period during which the holders of qualifying minority shares had the right to request a new appraisal report and a new appraiser under Brazilian law has expired, so the holders of qualifying minority shares no longer have the right to exercise these rights.

International route rights, as well as the business, financial condition, resultscorresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of operations, assetsair transport agreements negotiated between Chile and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or liabilitiesmore of TAMits domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, its subsidiaries, taken asin certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Chile, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a whole, other than (x) any such change, effect, occurrence or circumstanceroute frequency the JAC awards it through a public auction for a period of five years. The JAC grants route frequencies subject to the extent resulting from (A) any changes aftercondition that the signing daterecipient airline operate them on a permanent basis.

Airfare Pricing Policy.Chilean airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic and international fares without government regulation. For more information, see “—Antitrust Regulation” below. In 1997, the signing date generally affectingAntitrust Commission approved and imposed a specific self-regulatory fare plan for our domestic operations in Chile consistent with the industries in which TAM and its subsidiaries operate, (C) changes afterAntitrust Commission’s directive to maintain a competitive environment.

LAN Shareholders’ Meeting

At a meeting held on January 18, 2011, our boardRegistration of directors approved the transaction agreements and agreed to recommend that our shareholders vote to approve the proposed combination with TAM.

At an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 21, 2011, LAN shareholders approved the proposed combination with TAM, subject to (i) the terms and conditions of the transaction agreements; and (ii) the rendering of a final decisionAircraft.Aircraft registration in Chile is governed by the Chilean Supreme Court with respectAeronautical Code (“CAC”). In order to the appeal filedregister or continue to be registered in Chile, an aircraft must be wholly owned by LAN seeking the amendmenteither:

The Aeronautical Code expressly allows the DGAC to permit registration of aircraft belonging to non-Chilean individuals or entities with a permanent place of business in Chile. Aircraft owned by the Chilean TDLCnon-Chileans, but operated by Chileans or by an airline which is affiliated with respect to the consultation procedure initiated by Conadecus, a Chilean consumer association (“Conadecus”).

LAN shareholders approved the proposed combination with TAM on the proposed conditions by a broad majority, with over 99.99%aviation entity, may also be registered in Chile. Registration of shares present at the meeting. The Shareholders Meeting also approved a change to the Company’s corporate name to “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.” or “LATAM”, and other necessary transactions contemplatedany aircraft can be cancelled if it is not in the transaction agreements.

LAN Representations and Warranties

LAN made customary representations and warranties that are subject, in some cases, to specified exceptions and qualifications and the matters contained in the disclosure schedule delivered by LAN to TAM pursuant to the exchange after agreement. These representations and warranties relate to, among other things:

due organization, existence, good standing and authority to carry on the business of LAN and its subsidiaries;

market capitalization;

ownership and the absence of encumbrances on ownership of the equity interests of its subsidiaries;

the absence of preemptive or other similar rights or any debt securities that give their holders the right to vote with its shareholders;

its corporate power and authority to enter into, and complete the transactions under the transaction agreements and the shareholders agreements, provided that the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding LAN common shares vote to approve the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements at a duly called and held meeting of the shareholders of LAN, and the enforceability of such agreements against it;

the absence of violations of, or conflicts with, its governing documents, applicable law and certain agreements as a result of entering into and performing under the transaction agreements and the shareholders agreements;

the required governmental consents, approvals, notices and filings;

compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Actrequirements for registration and, in particular, if:

the ownership requirements are not met; or

the aircraft does not comply with any applicable safety requirements specified by the DGAC.

Safety.The DGAC requires that all aircraft operated by Chilean airlines be registered either with the DGAC or with an equivalent supervisory body in a country other than Chile. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of 2002airworthiness issued by either the DGAC or an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory entity. In addition, the DGAC will not issue maintenance permits to a Chilean airline until the DGAC has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. The DGAC renews maintenance permits annually, and has approved our maintenance operations. Only DGAC-certified maintenance facilities or facilities certified by an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory body in the listingcountry where the aircraft is registered may maintain and corporate governance rulesrepair the aircraft operated by Chilean airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified either by the DGAC or an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory body before assuming any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security.The DGAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Chilean commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Chile must submit an aviation security handbook to the DGAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of the NYSE;

its disclosure controlscommercial aviation and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting;

the conduct of businessDGAC. Chilean airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the ordinary course consistentrequirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy.The DGAC supervises and manages airports in Chile, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. The DGAC proposes airport charges, which are approved by the JAC and are the same at all airports. Since the mid-90s, a number of Chilean airports have been privatized, including the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of the DGAC and JAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise affect us in Chile, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability. There is no noise restriction regulation currently applicable to aircraft in Chile. However, Chilean authorities are planning to pass a noise-related regulation governing aircraft that fly to and within Chile. The proposed regulation will require all such aircraft to comply with past practice since December 31, 2009 throughcertain noise restrictions, referred to in the signing date;market as Stage 3 standards. LAN’s fleet already complies with the proposed restrictions so we do not believe that enactment of the proposed standards would impose a material burden on us.

Argentina

Aeronautical Regulation

Both theAdministración Nacional de Aviación Civil (“ANAC”) and the Secretary of Transport oversee and regulate the Argentinean aviation industry. ANACI regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management, and reports indirectly to the Ministry of Planning and is responsible for supervising compliance with Argentinean laws and regulations relating to air navigation. The Secretary of Transport also reports to the Ministry of Planning and regulates the assignment of international routes and matters related to tariff regulation policies. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authorizations from the Argentinean government to conduct flight operations, including authorization certificates and technical operative certificates from ANACI, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Argentina is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations established in 1947 to assist in the planning and development of international air transport. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Argentinean authorities have incorporated into Argentinean laws and regulations. In the absence of legal proceedings, investigations and governmental orders against itapplicable Argentinean regulation concerning safety or its subsidiaries;

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. In Argentina airlines are required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes, and regulations, governmental ordersto comply with the technical requirements established by the local authority. There are no regulatory barriers preventing a foreign airline from creating an Argentine subsidiary and all applicable operating certificates,entering the Argentine domestic market using that subsidiary. However, ownership of such subsidiary by the foreign airline may not be direct, but through a subsidiary formed in Argentina, which in turn may be directly or indirectly owned by the foreign company. However, such subsidiary should operate Argentine registered aircraft and employ Argentine aeronautical personnel.

International Routes. As an airline providing services on international routes, LAN Argentina is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air carrier obligations, airworthiness directives, aviation regulationstransport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Argentina and various other rulescountries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Argentina and regulations, any airline regulator applicable to it, its similar rightsforeign governments will continue.

Many of LAN’s representations and warranties are qualified by, among other things, exceptions relating to the absence of a “LAN material adverse effect,” which means any change, effect, occurrence or circumstance which, individually or in the aggregate, (i) has had, or would reasonably be expected tomore bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the business, financial condition, resultscorresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of operations, assetsair transport agreements negotiated between Argentina and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or liabilitiesmore of LANits domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than (x)in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Argentina, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any such change, effect, occurrence or circumstanceeligible airline may apply to obtain them. ANACI grants route frequencies subject to the extent resulting from (A)condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, the ANACI may terminate its rights to that route.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Argentine airlines are permitted to establish their own international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any changes afterdominant market position they may enjoy. Yet, there are government-fixed maximum and minimum prices for domestic flights.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Argentina is governed by the signing dateArgentinean Aeronautical Code (“AAC”). In order to register or continue to be registered in general economicArgentina, an aircraft must be wholly owned by either:

a natural person who is an Argentinean citizen; or financial market conditions, (B) any changes after the signing date generally affecting the industries

Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified by ANACI before assuming any aircraft maintenance positions.

Controlling Shareholder RepresentationsSecurity.ANACI establishes and Warranties

The LAN controlling shareholders, the TEP and the TAM controlling shareholders made customary representations and warranties to the other parties pursuant to the exchange offer agreement. These representations and warranties relate to, among other things:

due organization, existence, good standing and authority to carry on their businesses, as applicable;

ownership and absence of encumbrances on their direct or indirect ownership of equity interests of TAM or LAN, as applicable;

its corporate power and authority to enter into, and complete the transactions under, the transaction agreements and shareholders agreements to which they are a party, and the enforceability of such agreements against them, in the case of the TAM controlling shareholder and the LAN controlling shareholders only;

the absence of violations of, or conflicts with, its governing documents, applicable law and certain agreements as a result of it entering into and performing under such agreements;

the required governmental consents, approvals, notices and filings;

the absence of legal proceedings and investigations against it; and

the absence of successor liability resulting from the TEP Chile subscription.

Conduct of Business Pending the Combination

Undersupervises the implementation agreement, both weof security standards and TAM have agreedregulations for the Argentinean commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Argentina must submit an aviation security handbook to ANACI describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. LAN Argentina has submitted its aviation security handbook to ANACI. Argentinean airlines that subject to certain exceptions set forth in the implementation agreement or as required by applicable law, unless the other party gives its prior written approval between the signing date and the effective time, each of us and our subsidiaries and each of TAM and its subsidiaries will use our commercially reasonable efforts to preserve our business organizations intact and all licenses necessary for us and our respective subsidiaries to own, lease or operate our respective properties, rights and other assets and to carry on our respective business and operations conducted at the signing date and maintain, and keep available the services of our respective current officers, employees and consultants and existing relationships and goodwill with our respective customers, suppliers, employees, strategic partners and other persons with whom we conduct business.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the implementation agreement or as required by law, neither we nor TAM will, or will permit our subsidiaries to, take any of the following actions without the other’s written approval:

make, declare or pay any dividend, or make any other distribution, on or in respect of any of its equity securities, other than (A) dividends or distributions paid or made to such party by its wholly owned subsidiary or to another wholly owned subsidiary of such party and (B) regular dividends paid to such party’s shareholdersinternational routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the dividend policyrequirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy.The ORSNA (Organismo Regulador del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos) supervises and manages the airports in Argentina, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. The ORSNA proposes airport charges, which are approved by ANACI and are the same at all airports. Nevertheless, while domestic flights are charged in local currency, international flights are charged in U.S. dollars. Since the last regular meetinglate-90s, a number of Argentinean airports have been privatized, including Aeroparque and Aeropuerto Internacional de Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini in Buenos Aires, the two most important airports in Argentina. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of ANACI and ORSNA.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise affect us in Argentina, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability and noise restriction regulation currently applicable to aircraft in Argentina. Any aircraft operated by an Argentinean airline should comply with certain noise restrictions, specifically with Stage 3 standards, as set forth in chapter 91.805 of the Argentinean civilian aviation regulations (Regulaciones Argentinas de Aviación Civil) referred to in the market as Stage 3 standards. LAN’s fleet already complies with the proposed restrictions so we do not believe that enactment of the proposed standards would impose a material burden on us.

Peru

Aeronautical Regulation

The Peruvian DGAC (“PDGAC”) oversees and regulates the Peruvian aviation industry. The PDGAC reports directly to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and is responsible for supervising compliance with Peruvian laws and regulations relating to air navigation. In addition, the PDGAC regulates the assignment of national and international routes, and the compliance with certain insurance requirements, and it regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authorizations from the Peruvian government to conduct flight operations, including authorization and technical operative certificates, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Peru is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Peruvian authorities have incorporated into Peruvian laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Peruvian regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the PDGAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes.Peruvian airlines are required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes and to comply with the technical requirements established by the PDGAC. Non-Peruvian airlines are not permitted to provide domestic air service between destinations in Peru.

International Routes.As an airline providing services on international routes, LAN Peru is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Peru and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Peru and foreign governments will continue, and a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Peru and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its shareholdersdomestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Peru, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency the PDGAC awards it through a public auction for a period of four years. The PDGAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an amountairline fails to operate a route for a period of 90 days or more, the PDGAC may terminate its rights to that route, although that has never happened in practice.

Airfare Pricing Policy.Peruvian airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic and international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. For more information, see “—Antitrust Regulation” below. Airlines or other interested parties may file complaints before the Institute for Protection of Fair Competition and Consumer Rights (“Indecopi”) with respect to exceed 50% (inmonopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Peru’s antitrust laws.

Registration of Aircraft.Aircraft registration in Peru is governed by the Peruvian Civil Aviation Law. In order to own and register a Peruvian aircraft, the following conditions shall apply:

In case of a natural person, the owner shall be a Peruvian citizen; or in case of a foreign person, the owner shall be permanently domiciled in Peru; or

In case of a legal entity, it shall be incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Peru among other requirements established in article 47 of the Peruvian Civil Aviation Law.

Aircraft owned by non-Peruvians citizens or entities with domicile in Peru may also be registered in Peru but only if the aircraft is used for general, not commercial aviation. Registration of any aircraft can be cancelled if it is not in compliance with the requirements for registration mentioned above and, in particular, if the aircraft does not comply with any applicable safety requirements specified by the PDGAC.

Safety. Peruvian law allows the use of aircraft that are registered either with the PDGAC or with an equivalent supervisory body in a country other than Peru. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by either the PDGAC or an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory entity. In addition, the PDGAC will issue maintenance permits to a Peruvian airline as long as the PDGAC has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. The PDGAC has approved our maintenance operations. Only PDGAC-certified maintenance facilities or facilities certified by an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory body in the country where the aircraft is registered may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Peruvian airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified either by the PDGAC or an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory body before be appointed to any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security.The PDGAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Peruvian commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Peru must submit an aviation security handbook to the PDGAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. LAN Peru has submitted its aviation security handbook to the PDGAC. Peruvian airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy. CORPAC supervises and manages airports in Peru, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. CORPAC sets airport charges for navigation facilities, which may differ from airport to airport. Since the mid-90s, a number of Peruvian airports have been privatized, including the Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez in Lima. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of theOrganismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Infraestructura de Transporte de Uso Público, (the Supervising Agency of Investment in Public Transport Infrastructure Facilities or “OSITRAN”), an independent regulatory and supervising entity.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.There are no specific material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise materially affect us in Peru, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability. There are noise restriction regulations currently applicable to aircraft in Peru. LAN’s fleet complies with the proposed restrictions so they do not impose a material burden on us.

Ecuador

Aeronautical Regulation

There are two institutions that control commercial aviation on behalf of the State: (i) The National Civil Aviation Board (“CNAC”), which directs aviation policy; and (ii) the General Civil Aviation Bureau (“EDGAC”), which is a technical regulatory and control agency. The CNAC issues operating permits and grants operating concessions to national and international airlines. It also issues opinions on bilateral and multilateral air transportation treaties, allocates routes and traffic rights, and approves joint operating agreements such as wet leases and shared codes.

Fundamentally, the EDGAC is responsible for:

ensuring that the national standards and technical regulations and international ICAO standards and regulations are observed;

keeping records on insurance, airworthiness and licenses of Ecuadorian civil aircraft;

maintaining the National Aircraft Registry;

issuing licenses to crews; and

controlling air traffic control inside domestic air space.

The EDGAC also must comply with the standards and recommended methods of the ICAO since Ecuador is a signatory of the 1944 Chicago Convention.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes.Airlines must obtain authorization from CNAC (an operating permit or concession) to provide air transportation. For domestic operations, only companies incorporated in Ecuador can operate locally, and only Ecuadorian-licensed aircraft and dry leases are authorized to operate domestically.

International Routes.Permits for international operations are based on air transportation treaties signed by Ecuador or, otherwise, the principle of reciprocity is applied. All airlines doing business in Latin America that are incorporated in countries that are members of theComunidad Andina de Naciones (the Andean Community, or “CAN”) obtain their traffic rights on the basis of decisions currently in force under that regime, in particular decision N°582 of 2004, which guarantee free access to markets, with no type of restriction except technical considerations.

Shared codes are allowed in Ecuador after authorization by the CNAC, but the respective airlines must have the relevant traffic rights.

Airfare Pricing Policy.On October 13, 2011, The Statutory Law of Regulation and Control of the Market Power was passed with a purpose to avoid, prevent, correct, eliminate and sanction the abuse of economic operators with market power, as well as to sanction restrictive, disloyal and agreements involving collusive practices. This Law creates a new public entity as the maximum authority of application and establishes the procedures of investigation and the applicable sanctions, which are severe. Rates are not regulated and are subject only to registration. In general, bilateral treaties regarding air transportation provide for airfares to be regulated by the regulation of the country of origin.

Registration of Aircraft.The legislation allows Ecuadorian companies to provide international air transportation services using aircraft licensed in Ecuador and aircraft with a foreign license, always provided the latter are exploited under dry leases. For domestic operations, aircraft is authorized only pursuant to dry leases and Ecuadorian registration. Aircraft interchange agreements are also allowed for international operations, provided that the aviation authority can confirm that the aircraft is under the operational control of an Ecuadorian operator. Wet leases are permitted, but very restricted.

Safety. In order to ensure aviation safety, the EDGAC requires that the airline hold an Air Operator Certificate and have Operating Specifications that are examined technically and rigorously to ensure compliance with the Civil Aviation Technical Regulations, which are essentially the same as the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”) of the FAA. They cover matters of aircraft airworthiness, certification of maintenance facilities, and oversight by the EDGAC.

Security.The governing rules also apply to security in respect of the EDGAC. There are regulations, manuals and procedures on airport security overseen by the EDGAC.

Airport Policy. The international airports in Quito and Guayaquil are managed under administrative concessions, and the EDGAC merely controls air traffic. Fees for the use of airport facilities, terminal fees, landing fees, parking fees are all overseen and collected by the operator. Over-flight and approach fees are controlled and collected by the EDGAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.Aircraft must comply with the standards of category 3 under Ecuadorian applicable noise regulations, as set forth in Executive Decree (Decreto Ejecutivo) 1,405, enacted on October 24,2008, which provides certain technical specific criteria. Beginning in May 2010, aircraft must comply with standards of category 4 under cited regulation. Category 3 provides for compliance with ICAO regulations and technical conditions mandatory in the United States of America.

United States of America

Aeronautical Regulation

Operations to and from the United States by non-U.S. airlines, such as LAN, are subject to Title 49 of the U.S. Code, under which the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) and the FAA exercise regulatory authority. The DOT has jurisdiction over international aviation in connection with the United States, subject to review by the President of the United States. The DOT also has jurisdiction with respect to unfair practices and methods of competition by airlines and related consumer protection matters. The U.S. DOJ also has jurisdiction over airline competition matters under the U.S. federal antitrust laws. Flight operations between Chile and the United States by airlines licensed by either country are governed generally by the open skies air transport agreement that Chile and the United States signed in October 1997. Under the open skies agreement, there are no restrictions on the number of destinations or flights that either a U.S. or a Chilean airline may operate between the two countries or on the number of U.S. and Chilean airlines that may operate.

Authorizations and Licenses

LAN is authorized by the DOT to engage in scheduled and charter air transportation services, including the transportation of persons, property (cargo) and mail, or combinations thereof, between points in Chile and points in the United States and beyond (via intermediate points in other countries). LAN holds the necessary authorizations from the DOT in the form of a foreign air carrier permit, Exemption Authorizations and Statements of Authorization to conduct current operations to and from the United States. Exemptions and Statements of Authorization are temporary in nature and are subject to renewal and therefore there can be no assurance that any particular exemption or statement of authorization will be renewed. LAN’s foreign air carrier permit has no expiration date, while a renewal of the exemption authorization (which includes the open skies traffic rights) was timely filed and the Authority was automatically extended until such time as the DOT issues the renewal order. LAN intends to request the inclusion of the open skies rights into our foreign air carrier permit, which would eliminate our need to renew the exemption authority in the future.

The FAA is engaged in the regulation with respect to safety matters, including aircraft maintenance and operations, equipment, aircraft noise, ground facilities, dispatch, communications, personnel, training, weather observation and other matters affecting air safety. The FAA requires each foreign air carrier to obtain certain operations specifications that authorize it to operate to particular airports on approved international routes using specified equipment. LAN currently holds FAA operations specifications under Part 129 of the FAR in compliance in all material respects with all requirements necessary to maintain in good standing of its operations specifications issued by the FAA. The FAA can amend, suspend, revoke or terminate those specifications, or can suspend temporarily or revoke permanently our authority if an airline fails to comply with the regulations, and can assess civil penalties for such failure. A modification, suspension or revocation of any of our DOT authorizations or FAA operations specifications could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The FAA also conducts safety audits and has the power to impose fines and other sanctions for violations of airline safety regulations. We have not incurred any material fines related to operations.

Security. On November 19, 2001, the Congress of the United States passed, and the President signed into law, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, also referred to as the Aviation Security Act. This law federalized substantially all aspects of civil aviation security and created the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”), which took over security responsibilities previously held by the FAA. The TSA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Aviation Security Act requires, among other things, the implementation of certain security measures by airlines and airports, such as the requirement that all passenger bags be screened for explosives. Funding for airline and airport security required under the Aviation Security Act is provided in part by a US$2.50 per segment passenger security fee, subject to a US$10 per roundtrip cap; however, airlines are responsible for costs in excess of this fee. Implementation of the requirements of the Aviation Security Act has resulted in increased costs for airlines and their passengers. Since the events of September 11, 2001, Congress has mandated and the TSA has implemented numerous security procedures and requirements that have imposed and will continue to impose burdens on airlines, passengers and shippers.

Noise Restrictions. Under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (“ANCA”), and related FAA regulations, aircraft that fly to the United States must comply with certain Stage 3 noise restrictions, which are currently the most stringent FAA noise requirements. All of our aircraft that fly to the United States meet the Stage 3 requirements.

Under the direction of the ICAO, governments are considering the creation of a new and more stringent noise standard than that contained in the ANCA. The ICAO adopted new noise standards in 2001 that established more stringent noise requirements for aircraft manufactured after January 1, 2006. In the U.S., legislation known as the “Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act,” which was signed into law in December 2003, required the FAA to issue regulations implementing Stage 4 noise standards consistent with recommendations adopted by the ICAO. FAA regulations require all aircraft designed and certified after January 1, 2006 to comply with Stage 4 noise restrictions.

FAA regulations also require compliance with the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System, approved airborne wind shear warning system and aging aircraft regulations. Our entire fleet meets these requirements.

Brazil

Aeronautical Regulation

The Brazilian aviation industry is regulated and overseen by the ANAC. The ANAC reports directly to the Civil Aviation Secretary, which is subordinated by the Federal Executive Power of this country. Primarily on the basis of Law No. 11.182/2005, ANAC was created to regulate commercial aviation, air navigation, the assignment of domestic and international routes, compliance with certain insurance requirements, flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control, in this case sharing it activities and responsibilities with theDepartamento de Controle do Espaço Aéreo (Department of Airspace Control) (“DECEA”),which is a public secretary also subordinated to the Brazilian Defense Ministry, and airport management, in this last case sharing responsibilities with theEmpresa Brasileira de Infra-Estrutura Aeroportuária (the Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Company, or “INFRAERO”), a public company that was created by Law No. 5862/72, and is responsible for administrating, operating and exploring Brazilian airports industrially and commercially (with the exception of Guarulhos International Airport, Viracopos International Airport and Brasilia International Airport which was privatized in 2012 and are administrated by concession agreement).

We have obtained and maintain the necessary authority from the Brazilian government to conduct flight operations, including authorization and technical operative certificates from ANAC, the continuation of which is subject to ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

ANAC is the Brazilian civil aviation authority and it is responsible for supervising compliance with Brazilian laws and regulations relating to air navigation. Brazil is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Brazilian authorities, represented by the Brazilian Defense Ministry, have incorporated into Brazilian laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Brazilian regulation concerning safety or maintenance, ANAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. Brazilian airlines are not required to obtain permits in connection with domestic passenger or cargo transportation, but only to comply with the technical requirements established by ANAC. Based on the Brazilian Aeronautical Code (“CBA”) established by Law No. 7.565/86, non-Brazilian airlines are not permitted to provide domestic air service between destinations in Brazil. The same law prevents a foreign airline from creating a Brazilian subsidiary and entering the Brazilian domestic market using that subsidiary.

International Routes. Brazilian and non-Brazilian airlines providing services on international routes are also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Brazil and various other countries. International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Brazil and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Brazil, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency ANAC must carry out a public bid and award it to the elected airline. ANAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, ANAC may terminate its rights to that route. ANAC may also terminate its right if the recipient airline does not operate at least 80% of the frequency given for that specific route.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Brazilian and non-Brazilian airlines are permitted to establish their own international and domestic fares, in this last case only for Brazilian airlines, without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. Airlines may file complaints before the Antitrust Court with respect to monopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Brazil’s antitrust laws.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Brazil is managed by ANAC, which maintains the Brazilian Aeronautical Register, as regulated by the CBA. The CBA allows ANAC to permit registration of aircraft belonging to Brazilian and non-Brazilian individuals.

Safety. ANAC requires that all Brazilian aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by ANAC. In addition, ANAC will not issue maintenance permits to a Brazilian airline until it has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. ANAC renews maintenance permits annually, and has approved our maintenance operations. Only ANAC certifies aircraft maintenance services and its personnel.

Security. ANAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Brazilian commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Brazil must submit an aviation security handbook to ANAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training.

Brazilian Airport Policy. INFRAERO supervises and manages airports in Brazil, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. INFRAERO proposes airport charges, which are approved by ANAC and are the same at all airports. At privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of ANAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation. ANAC coordinates and supervises noise regulations by regulation 121, which established noise restriction applicable to aircraft in Brazil. There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed specifically upon airlines companies, applicable to aircraft, other than Brazilian general environmental laws and regulations.

Colombia

Aeronautical Regulation

The governmental entity in charge of regulating, directing and supervising the civil aviation is the Aeronáutica Civil (“AC”), a technical agency ascribed to the Ministry of Transportation. The AC is the aeronautical authority for the entire domestic territory, in charge of regulating and supervising the Colombian air space. The AC may interpret, apply and complement all civil aviation and air transportation regulation to ensure compliance with the Colombian Aeronautical Regulations (“RAC”). The AC also grants the necessary permits for air transportation.

Route Rights

The AC grants operation permits to domestic and foreign carriers that intend to operate in, from and to Colombia. In the case of LAN)Colombian airlines in order to obtain the operational permit the company must comply with the RAC and 25% (infulfill legal, economic and technical requirements, to later be subject to public hearings where the public convenience and necessity of the service is considered. The same process must be followed to add national or international routes, whose concession is subject to the bilateral instruments entered into by Colombia. Routes cannot be transferred under any circumstance and there is no limit to foreign investment in domestic airlines.

Airfare Pricing Policy.Since July 2007, as stated in resolution 3299 of the Aeronautical Civil entity, bottom level airfares for both international and domestic transportation were eliminated. Under resolution 904 issued in February 2012, the Aeronautical Civil entity decided to liberalize the obligation of charging a fuel surcharge for both domestic and international transportation of passengers and cargo. As of April 1, 2012, air carriers may now freely decide whether or not to charge a fuel surcharge. In the case that it is charged, the fuel surcharge must be part of TAM) of such party’s net income for the year in respect of whichfare, but may be informed separately on the dividends are paid;

Registration of Aircraft.The AC, through the Office of Aeronautical Registration, is in charge of handling the registration of aircraft that will be operated by Colombian airlines. Registration may be obtained by a registration process fully conducted in Colombia or convertible securitiesthrough the validation in Colombia of a foreign registration. For such partyregistration, the aircraft must be legally imported to the country and inspected by the aeronautical inspectors. This office is also in charge of property registrations, lease contracts and liens of the registered aircraft.

Safety. Aircraft registered in Colombia obtain an airworthiness certificate or anya validation of its subsidiaries, or any “phantom” stock, “phantom” stock rights, stock option, stock purchase or appreciation rights or stock-based performance units relating to or permitting the purchaseairworthiness certificate (if they operate under the approval of any such equity securities or convertible securities, subject to customary exceptions;the foreign registration).

except as otherwise expressly contemplatedSecurity.Following the guidelines of the OACI annexes, the AC issued an airport security program that must be strictly complied with by all the aircraft operators in the implementation agreement, amendcountry as well as by airports.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.In Colombia, only aircraft that comply with category 3 noise limits may operate. There are strict regulations to control noise during takeoffs and landings of the by-lawsaircraft at the El Dorado Airport in Bogotá due to its location in an urban area.

Antitrust Regulation

The Chilean antitrust authority, which we refer to as the Antitrust Court (previously the Antitrust Commission), oversees antitrust matters, which are governed by Decree Law No. 211 of it1973, as amended, or its subsidiariesthe Antitrust Law. The Antitrust Law prohibits any entity from preventing, restricting or distorting competition in any way that is or would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to such party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

The Antitrust Law also prohibits any business or properties which are material, individuallybusinesses that have a dominant position in any market or a substantial part of any market from abusing that dominant position. An aggrieved person may sue for damages arising from a breach of Antitrust Law and/or file a complaint with the Antitrust Court requesting an order to enjoin the violation of the Antitrust Law. The Antitrust Court has the authority to impose a variety of sanctions for violations of the Antitrust Law, including termination of contracts contrary to the Antitrust Law, dissolution of a company and imposition of fines and daily penalties on businesses. Courts may award damages and other remedies (such as an injunction) in appropriate circumstances. As described above under “—Chile—Route Rights—Airfare Pricing Policy,” in October 1997, the aggregate, to such party and its subsidiaries, taken asAntitrust Court approved a whole, subject to certain exceptions;

As of March 12, 2012, no further required regulatory approvals are needed to complete the exchange offer and the mergers. All the required regulatory approvals have been obtained, as follows:

Chile

On September 21, 2011, the Chilean TDLC issued its decision (“Decision”) with respect to the consultation procedure initiated on January 28, 2011 by Conadecus in connection with the proposed combination with TAM. The persons and entities that were accepted as intervening parties in the consultation procedure, among others, are the following: Conadecus, as consultant, FNE, Sky Airline, Aerolínea Principal de Chile S.A. (“PAL”), ACHET (a Chilean travel agents association), LAN, LAN Cargo and TAM. The Decision, of the TDLC approved the proposed combination with TAM with fourteen mitigating measures.

On October 3, 2011, PAL filed an appeal in order to have the Chilean Supreme Court revoke the Decision issued by the TDLC approving the proposed combination subject to certain conditions. On October 25, 2011 LAN reached an extrajudicial agreement with PAL pursuant to which (i) PAL abandoned the appeal before the Chilean Supreme Court and undertook to terminate all actions or proceedings that it initiated, as well as to desist from initiating new proceedings, aimed at blocking the proposed combination between LAN and TAM, subject to 14 conditions, as generally described below:

exchange of certain slots in the Guarulhos Airport at Săo Paulo, Brazil;

extension of the frequent flyer program to airlines operating or willing to operate the Santiago-Săo Paulo, Santiago-Río de Janeiro, Santiago-Montevideo and (ii) LAN paid PAL US$5 million.Santiago-Asunción routes during the five-year period from the effective time of the merger;

execution of interline agreements with airlines operating the Santiago-Săo Paulo, Santiago-Río de Janeiro and Santiago-Asunción routes;

On October 3, 2011, LAN also filed an appeal seeking

certain capacity and other transitory restrictions applicable to the amendmentSantiago-Săo Paulo route;

certain amendments to LAN’s self-regulatory fare plan approved by the TDLC with respect to LAN’s domestic passenger business;

the obligation of LATAM to renounce to one global airline alliance within 24 months from the date in which the merger becomes effective, except in the case that the TDLC approves otherwise, or elimination,to elect not to participate in any global airline alliance;

certain restrictions on codeshare agreements outside the global airline alliance to which LATAM belongs for routes with origin or destination in Chile or that connect to North America and Europe, or with Avianca/TACA or GOL for international routes in South America, including the obligation to consult with, and obtain approval from, the TDLC prior to its execution of certain of those codeshare agreements;

the abandonment of four air traffic frequencies with fifth freedom rights between Chile and Perú and limitations on acquiring in excess of 75%, as applicable, of the following three conditions set forth in the Decision:

amendment of the seventh condition regarding mandatory prior consultation with the TDLC for the execution of certain codeshare agreements in order to eliminate the obligation to submit such agreements to the prior approval of the TDLC, replacing it with the obligation to notify the FNE of any such agreements.

elimination of the eighth condition regarding the abandonment of certainair traffic frequencies in that route and limitation on acquiringthe period that certain air traffic frequencies; andfrequencies may be granted by the Chilean air transport authorities to LAN;

amendmentissuance of a statement by LATAM supporting the unilateral opening of the fourteenth conditionChilean domestic skies (cabotage) and abstention from any actions that would prevent such opening;

promotion by LATAM of the growth and normal operation of the Guarulhos (Brazil) and Arturo Merino Benítez (Chile) airports, to facilitate access thereto to other airlines;

engaging an independent consultant, expert in order to limitairline operations, which for 36 months, and modify the intrusive and inspection powers granted to both the FNE and the consultantin coordination with respect to LAN and TAM.

Likewise, on the same date TAM L.A. filed an appeal seeking the amendment of the seventh condition of the Decision. It is expected that the Chilean Supreme Court will render a final decision with respect to the above-mentioned appeals within the next month.

If the seventh condition is not amended, LATAM’s passengers to and from Chile would be denied the benefit of the increased connectivity that would be provided by the codeshare agreements that would require prior approval of the TDLC unless and until such approval was obtained. LATAM’s ability to negotiate existing codeshares and to adapt to changes in the markets in which it has to compete could also be adversely affected because the time required to obtain the prior approval of the TDLC to amendments to those agreements could take longer than is required to adequately react to new conditions.

If the eighth condition is not eliminated, LATAM will be required to cancel or re-route certain flights out of Lima that could adversely impact connectivity of some passengers.

If the fourteenth condition is not amended, the independent consultant and the FNE, will have certain inspection powers that in LAN’s opinion could increase administrative burdensmonitor and impose additional costs that would not be sharedaudit compliance with the conditions imposed by the other airlines with which LATAM needs to compete. In addition, in LAN’s opinion this condition would undermine LAN’s constitutional rights to equality under the law, due process and protection of mail and document privacy because it would give the independent consultant and FNE intrusive and disproportionate powers solely with respect to LAN and subject LAN to a supervisory regime that would not apply to any other competitor or industry in Chile.Decision.

Brazil

On September 3, 2010, LAN and TAM submitted a merger filing before the Brazilian Antitrust System, composed of CADE, theSecretaria de Direito Econômico (Ministry of Justice) (“SDE”) SDE and theSecretaria de Acompanhamento Econômico (Ministry of Finance) (“SEAE”). SEAE. The filing was made based on the Memorandum of Understanding, executed by the parties on August 13, 2010. As per the request of the parties, the SEAE suspended its analysis of the merger filing until the parties had taken more definitive steps with respect to the proposed combination. On October 21, 2010, the parties informed SEAE of the execution of theInstrumento Particular de Ratificaçãăo de Entendimento by the parties on October 12, 2010, pursuant to which the parties agreed on a transaction structure for the proposed combination and thus requested that SEAE resume its analysis of the merger filing. As part of its analysis, SEAE sent a series of information requests to LAN and TAM (Official Letter Nos. 11.143/2010; 12.203/2010; 6.566/2011; 6.607/2011; 7.218/2011; 7.555/2011; and 7.866/2011) requesting information on the markets affected by the proposed combination. All of these Official Letters were duly answered by LAN and TAM. SEAE also sent information requests to the parties’ competitors, suppliers and clients. SEAE issued its report approving the merger filing without any restrictions on August 11, 2011. The case was then further examined by CADE’s Reporting Commissioner, Olavo Chinaglia, for an additional four months. CADE sent information requests to LAN and TAM (Official Letter Nos. 1830/2011; 1945/2011; 2410/2011; and 2493/2011) to complement SEAE’s analysis. On December 14, 2011, the case was adjudicated in a Plenary Session, where the board of CADE approved the transaction with the following conditions: (i) LAN and TAM cannot be members of more than one global airline alliance; (ii) LAN and TAM must swap two pairs of slots inat the InternationalGuarulhos Airport of Guarulhos (São Paulo/Brazil) (“Guarulhos Airport”) with one or more companies that is willing to operate non-stop flights onin the o Paulo-Santiago route, granting the swapping companies the necessary infrastructure in the Guarulhos Airport; and (iii) LAN and TAM must publish the contents of the decision in newspapers widely sold in Brazil, and send letters to carriers that operate commercial flights from the Guarulhos Airport, informing them of the decision.

From February 1, 2013, LAN Infrastructure Management and TAM Infrastructure Management report to clarify the decision, in which they requested that CADE clarify certain pointsDirector of the decision. The motion to clarify was partially accepted

by CADE’s Plenary Board, on February 8, 2012, to establish that LAN will not be required to implement the measures imposed by CADE until the exchange offer has been completed.Purchasing and Infrastructure of LATAM. Both LAN and TAM infrastructure management teams have worked together during 2012 and 2013 regarding strategic planning for infrastructure issues for the LATAM Airlines Group.

LAN’s Property, Plant and Equipment

Headquarters

Our main facilities are located on approximately five acres of land that we own near the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. The complex includes approximately 150,695 square feet of office space, 32,292 square feet of conference space and training facilities, 9,688 square feet of dining facilities and mock-up cabins used for crew instruction.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, we moved some of our executive offices into a new building in a more central location in Santiago, Chile, where we initially occupied a total of four floors owned by LAN. In the first half of 2005 we added three more floors to accommodate our growth requirements. These floors are also owned by LAN. In 2007, in order to accommodate the Company’s growth, LAN leased two floors in an adjacent building (totaling 18,298 square feet), where some of LAN staff moved in February 2008. We have leased these additional floors since 2007, under a 5-year lease. In 2009, to respond to the Company’s growth, LAN leased two additional floors in this building (totaling 12,917 square feet). We have leased these additional floors since 2009 until May 2016. In 2010, new offices were leased east of Santiago to allow for Company growth and to implement projects such as “Host,” which involves changing our system of reservations, sales, inventory and passenger check-in. We have leased these additional offices since 2010, under a 4-year lease. These additional offices add a total of 19,913 square feet to LAN’s property.

Furthermore, during 2011 we added to our facilities a new 11,840 square feet floor at the Arrau Building located in Santiago, Chile, which we lease for the new facilities of LAN Cargo. We have leased this floor since 2011, under a 3-year lease.

Maintenance Base

Our 877,258 square feet maintenance base is located on a site that we own inside the grounds of the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. This facility contains our aircraft hangar, warehouses, workshops and offices, as well as a 559,720 square feet aircraft parking area capable of accommodating up to seventeen short-haul aircraft. We have a five-floor, 53,820 square feet office building plus a 10,000 square feet office and workshop space. This facility is certified by several civil aviation authorities, including the United States’ FAA. As such, we are permitted to proceedperform maintenance work for third parties at the facility. The FAA periodically inspects the facility to ensure its compliance with FAA standards. We also lease from the DGAC 193,750 square feet of space inside the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport for operational and service purposes. Our lease has a duration of 14 years.

During 2012, we continued to invest and improve the maintenance base infrastructure with the objective of having world class facilities, including new access to the base, which allows facilities access control, therefore, improves its security.

During 2013, we began to develop a series of infrastructure projects, the most significant of which is the construction of a north platform which allows for an additional 13 new A320 aircraft parking spaces. During 2013, a significant part of this project was completed, including 5 new parking spaces for A320 aicraft. The project is expected to be finished during the third quarter of 2014. Additionally during 2013, parking capacity for vehicles was increased by 135 new spaces.

Miami Facilities

We occupy a 36.3-acre site at the Miami International Airport that has been leased to us by the airport under a concession agreement. Our facilities include a 48,000 square feet corporate building, a 380,000 square feet cargo warehouse (including a 10,000 square meter cooling area) and a 783,000 square feet aircraft-parking platform, which were constructed and are now leased to us under a long-term contract by a North American developer, and approximately 21,528 square feet of furnished office space, which we converted from warehouse space in 2004. The rent we pay for the use of this space is approximately US$735,000 per month. We are currently negotiating with the local airport authority regarding its construction of a new hangar at the Miami International Airport, which we expect to lease from them when it is constructed.

During 2010, LAN signed a concession agreement with the AMB Property Corporation to add a new cargo warehouse for additional areas for future developments. Our concession has duration of 5 years at a rate of approximately US$215,000 per month.

During 2013, a new project for a Boeing B777 hangar was developed. This project finally received approval from Miami airport authorities in 2014 and should be completed during the first half of 2015.

Other Facilities

We own a building and sixteen acres of land on the west side of the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport that houses a flight-training center. As of February 28, 2014, this facility features three full-flight simulators for Boeing 767, Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft. We leased this flight-training center under a long-term lease to CAE Inc. (a leading Canadian company in the flight training business).

In 2004, Fast Air Almacenes de Carga S.A. (“Fast Air”), one of our subsidiaries that operates import customs warehouses, began utilizing an import warehouse and office building at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. This 172,000 square feet building was developed in conjunction with two other operators. We have leased these facilities since 2004 and, as a result of a new contract signed in 2013, we will continue to operate there until September 2015.

ITEM 5.OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. Operating Results

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes beginning on page F-1 of this annual report. As a result of the combination of LAN and TAM on June 22, 2012, the discussion of LATAM’s results of operations below includes: (i) a discussion of

LATAM’s consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes the consolidated results of TAM from June 23, 2012, (ii) a supplementary discussion of LATAM’s consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the unaudited pro forma results of LATAM Airlines Group for the year ended December 31, 2012, prepared for illustrative purposes only, to present a discussion of LATAM’s results on a consolidated basis and giving effect to the combination with TAM as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012 and (iii) a discussion of LATAM’s consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes the consolidated results of TAM from June 23, 2012, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, which represent LAN’s historical audited consolidated results.

Overview

The principal and most distinctive aspect of our business model is the way in which we integrate our passenger and cargo activities. Our sophisticated service-oriented approach to combining passenger and cargo traffic enables us to better utilize our aircraft, reduce our break-even load factors on passenger flights, and diversify our revenue streams. Furthermore, the geographically diversified nature of our passenger and cargo networks provides additional diversification in our operations and reduces exposure to any single market. These benefits have helped us maintain profitability and expand our operations, despite volatile macroeconomic conditions and various external shocks that have affected the airline industry over the years.

In 2013, 97% of our revenues are generated by our air transport activities. We generate the balance of our operating revenues from tour operator services, aircraft leases, on-board sales, third-party maintenance, ground handling and customs and storage brokerage operations.

Our operating environment in 2013 was marked by a moderate growth in passenger operations, and reduced cargo demand. For the year ended December 31, 2013 LATAM Airlines reported a net loss of US$263.8 million, largely resulting from a US$481 million foreign exchange loss arising from the 6.5% depreciation of the Brazilian real in December 31, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012. Operating revenues decreased by 0.2% in 2013 from pro forma revenues of US$ 12,956.7 million in 2012 to US$12,924.5 million, as a result of an increase of 0.4% in passenger revenues and a decrease of 4.0% in cargo revenues.

During 2013, passenger demand responded to different trends in our business units, resulting from the diverse strategies implemented in each of them. The Company’s slight decrease in passenger capacity of 0.4% as compared to pro forma capacity for year 2012 was mainly a result of an 8.4% decrease in capacity in the domestic Brazil market and the rationalization of our international passenger operations where capacity only grew by 2.3%. These effects were partially offset by continued growth of 11.0% in capacity in our domestic Spanish speaking countries. In our domestic passenger operations in Brazil, the reduction in capacity, together with market segmentation and revenue management practices, resulted in a load factor of 79.7% in the year, which represents an increase of 6.1 percentage points as compared to pro forma figures for 2012. Revenues per ASK in this market increased by 4.1% in US dollar terms as a result of these initiatives. In our international passenger operations, capacity rationalization during the year resulted in an increase of only 2.3% in capacity as compared to pro forma capacity for 2012, which led to an increase of 2.4% in traffic and a slight increase in load factors and revenues per ASK.

For the year ended December 31, 2013 the combined yield for the international and domestic passenger businesses decreased by 2.0% as compared to the pro forma yield in 2012, reflecting a more challenging environment due to higher competition in the international routes and the impact of the 10.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real for 2013 as compared to 2012, which impacted yields from the domestic Brazilian market. Depreciation of the local currencies in our Spanish speaking countries also impacted yields in these operations.

In the cargo business, we continue to face a challenging scenario due to a slowdown in world trade momentum, a decline in demand on routes to Latin America (especially to Brazil) and competitive pressures from new cargo carriers flying in the region, which has been partially offset by strong northbound routes. In the year ended December 31, 2013 cargo capacity a measured in ATKs slightly increased by 0.1%, with a significant decrease in capacity during the last quarter of the year, whereas cargo traffic slightly decreased by 0.5%, resulting in a decrease of 0.3 percentage points in cargo load factors to 58.4%. The Company continues with a rational and disciplined approach toward freighter capacity utilization, in line with a still challenging and competitive scenario in Latin American cargo markets, while focused on maximizing the belly utilization of the Company’s passenger fleet. During the month of November 2013, we grounded for redelivery one B767F aircraft, thus reducing our cargo capacity in the quarter significantly and increasing load factors as of the end of the year.

Our operating expenses in 2013 were primarily impacted by a decrease in fuel prices, the depreciation of local currencies, especially the Brazilian real, and certain non-recurring costs related to our fleet plan restructuring. The Company continues to manage fuel prices through its fuel surcharge policy and financial hedging strategy, as well as tactical capacity adjustments on certain routes.

In June 2012, LATAM Airlines Group was formed through the business combination of LAN and TAM. During the second half of 2012, LATAM began the integration of LAN and TAM’s business units and the transformation necessary to achieve the expected merger synergies, implementing adjustments to commercial practices and aligning operations and processes in its international and domestic passenger operations in Brazil. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, LATAM incurred one-time costs of

US$56.0 million and 59.2 million (pro forma), respectively. Although in the short term the Company’s results are expected to be impacted by these transition and integration costs, the Company expects to achieve increased operating income in the long-term as a result of substantial synergies between these two businesses.

Passenger Operations

In general, our passenger revenues are driven by international and country-specific political and economic conditions, competitive activity, the attractiveness of the destinations that we serve, and the capacity we allocate among our different routes. Passenger revenues are also affected by our capacity, traffic, load factors, yield and unit revenue. Our capacity is measured in terms of available seat kilometers, or ASKs, which represents the number of seats we make available for sale, multiplied by the kilometers flown. We measure traffic in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs, as the number of passengers on our flights multiplied by the number of kilometers flown. Load factors represent RPKs (traffic) as a percentage of ASKs (capacity), or the percentage of our capacity that is actually used by paying customers. Finally, we use yield, or revenue from passenger operations divided by RPKs, to measure the average amount that one passenger pays to fly one kilometer and unit revenue, or revenue per ASK, to measure the effect of capacity on revenues. See “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data.” The following discussion of revenue drivers in our passenger operations is based on our unaudited pro forma operating results for 2012 where specified.

Passenger demand has grown over the past years, driven by positive economic conditions in Latin America. Economic growth and improved customer confidence have led to an expansion in both business and leisure traffic to and from Latin America. Increased interest in travel into South America from Europe and the United States has been another factor positively impacting overall passenger traffic. As a consequence, passenger volumes in markets such as Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador grew significantly between 2010 and 2013.

Competitive activity on both our domestic and international passenger routes has also varied over the last several years. On our international routes, competition has gradually increased as both incumbent and new competitors expanded their operations. Nevertheless, we have maintained our market share in most of our international markets since 2005 and have gradually increased our presence in international routes. We also have increased our domestic operations, initiating operations in Ecuador in April 2009, in Colombia in 2010 and in Brazil in 2012 following the business combination between LAN and TAM.

We address different challenges while advancing our strategic development plans by taking advantage of our integrated business model, efficient operations, continued customer focus, and flexible capacity management. Continuous monitoring of demand trends and competitive activity has allowed us to identify opportunities and, as a consequence, additional capacity has also been allocated to certain operations. We have also decreased capacity among other routes, especially in long haul routes to Europe because of weaker economic conditions, and domestic routes in Brazil, in response to softened demand in our Brazilian domestic operations. Further refinements to our itineraries have been implemented in order to improve connectivity between our operations and those of our partners.

We continue to enhance our regional network by selectively adding new destinations and launching new routes. Since 2004, we have been developing an intra-regional hub in Lima that enables us to effectively use Lima as a connecting point for passengers traveling between Mexico City, Bogotá, Caracas, Guayaquil, Quito, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Santa Cruz, Sao Paulo and Santiago de Chile. In 2007, we began direct service between Lima and Madrid and in July 2010, we launched four weekly frequencies between Lima and San Francisco, with connections from Sao Paulo, Santiago and Buenos Aires. During 2012 and 2013, because of the weak economic situation in Europe, LATAM reduced capacity to that region and increased frequencies to the United States, including a new LAN Colombia route, Bogotá-Miami, and a new TAM route, Rio de Janeiro-Orlando, in order to promote Florida as a getaway from Latin America to the United States.

LATAM’s more moderate traffic growth of 2.5% during 2013 responded to a slight decrease of 0.4% in passenger capacity during the year, resulting from capacity rationalization initiatives both in the Brazilian domestic market, where capacity decreased by 8.4% in the year and in our long haul operations, where capacity decreases were focused on routes from Brazil to Europe.

During 2013, the combined yield for the international and domestic passenger businesses decreased by 2.0% as compared to the pro forma yield in 2012, reflecting the depreciation of the Brazilian real and local currencies in our Spanish speaking countries and a more challenging competitive environment in the region.

Passenger revenues increased by 0.4% to US$11,061.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to pro forma revenues of US$11,017.0 million for 2012. This was a result of the increase of 2.5% in passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs), partially offset by a 2.0% decrease in yields, as described above.

Cargo Operations

Our cargo operations depend on exports from and imports to South America and are, therefore, affected by economic conditions, foreign exchange rates, changes in international trade, the health of particular industries, competition and fuel prices (which we usually pass on to our customers through a cargo fuel surcharge). Cargo revenues are also affected by our capacity, traffic, load factors and yield. Our capacity is measured in terms of available ton kilometers, or ATKs, which represents the number of tons available for the transportation of cargo, multiplied by the kilometers flown. We measure traffic in revenue ton kilometers, or RTKs, as the amount of cargo loads (measured in tons) multiplied by the number of kilometers flown. Load factors represent RTKs (traffic) as a percentage of ATKs (capacity), or the percentage of our cargo capacity that is actually used to transport cargo for our customers. Finally, we use yield, or revenue from cargo operations divided by RTKs, to measure the average amount that our customers pay to transport one ton of cargo one kilometer. See “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data.” The following discussion of revenue drivers in our cargo operations including changes in capacity, traffic, load factors and yields, is based on our unaudited pro forma operating results for 2012 and 2011 where specified.

We operate in many of the major import and export markets in South America. In particular, in 2012, the agreements implemented relative to the TAM’s cargo network in Brazil significantly expanded our cargo capacity and route coverage. At the end of 2012, this additional cargo capacity represented approximately 32% of all LATAM Cargo capacity. In addition to providing additional cargo routes within Brazil, the combination of LAN and TAM also provided additional international destinations, including Milan, Paris and London.

The relative size of inbound and outbound flows to a particular market or route is a key element in cargo operations, as the unidirectional nature of freight flows requires airlines to create routes that combine origin-destination pairs that feature complementary freight flows. Changes in macroeconomic conditions may lead to major fluctuations in cargo flows to and from Latin America, therefore requiring continuous route and capacity adjustments.

We have designed our operations, route network and commercial strategies with the flexibility required to respond to changing conditions. The flexibility that our integrated business model allows based on adaptation to changes in market trends was key for LATAM’s operations in 2009, when the business was affected by the contraction of import and export markets in response to the global economic crisis and continued contraction in salmon exports from Chile as a result of an outbreak of the Infectious Salmon Anemia virus during 2007. LATAM received two Boeing 777 freighters in 2009, at a time where there was a decrease in demand in cargo operations. These aircraft were utilized to increase capacity, mainly on routes between South America and Europe and to expand LATAM’s cargo coverage beyond the region and strengthen its cargo services to Europe. As the economy started to recover at the end of 2009, LATAM was able to take advantage of the new capacity and growth opportunities in various markets in 2010 and 2011. Accordingly, the cargo business played an important role in driving LATAM’s revenue growth in 2010 and 2011. Since 2012, however, a slowdown in world macroeconomic conditions has significantly impacted cargo volumes, specifically in Europe and Asia. This slowdown has also affected South America, mainly in the southbound routes where LATAM Cargo carries imports of value added goods into Brazil. This weak macroeconomic environment also brought new competition to the region during 2012 and 2013, with airlines carriers such as Emirates and Cargo Lux, increasing the available capacity in the region and adding pressure to cargo yields. This weak cargo trend has continued during 2013.

As a result of these factors, cargo traffic decreased by 0.5% in 2013 as compared to pro forma traffic for 2012. Cargo yields decreased by 3.5% compared to 2012, reflecting the decline in demand on routes to Latin America, especially Brazil; increased competitive pressures from regional and international cargo carriers; and the effect of the depreciation of the Brazilian real on cargo revenues in that market. LATAM increased its capacity by approximately 0.1%, resulting in a 0.3 point decrease in its cargo load factor to 58.4% in 2013. LATAM’s cargo operations transported 1,171 thousand tons of freight in 2013, an increase of 1.5% as compared to the total (pro forma) freight transported in 2012.

As a result of decreased traffic and yields, LATAM’s pro forma cargo revenues decreased by 4.0% to US$1,863.0 million in 2013 as compared to pro forma cargo sales of US$1,939.8 million in 2012, representing 14.4% of the Company’s total revenues in 2013.

Cost Structure

LATAM Airlines Group’s costs are driven by the size of our operations, fuel prices, fleet costs and exchange rates. Our operating expenses are calculated in accordance with IFRS and comprise the sum of the line items “cost of sales” plus “distribution costs” plus “administrative expenses” plus “other operating expenses”, as shown on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income. These operating expenses include wages and benefits, fuel, depreciation and amortization, commissions to agents, aircraft rentals, other rental and landing fees, passenger services, aircraft maintenance, and other operating expenses. The following discussion of cost drivers is based on our unaudited pro forma operating results where specified.

As an airline, we are subject to fluctuations in costs that are outside our control, particularly fuel prices and exchange rates. However, we manage part of our exposure to changes in fuel prices through a fuel-hedging policy and the use of pass-through mechanisms on both the passenger and cargo businesses. To mitigate the impact in terms of exchange rate fluctuations on our net income, during 2013 we entered into a financial derivative contract to hedge more than 50% of our operating exposure to the Brazilian real in 2014.

Personnel expenses are another significant component of our overall costs. Because a significant portion of our labor costs is denominated in Chilean pesos and in Brazilian reais, appreciation of these currencies against the dollar as well as increases in local inflation rates can result in increased costs in dollar terms and can negatively affect our results. Depreciation of local currencies results in decreases in costs in dollars. However, this cost pressure is mitigated by the partial natural hedge between the currencies of denomination of our total operating revenues and expenses.

Commissions paid to travel and cargo agents also comprise a significant cost to us. We compete with other airlines over the amount of commission we pay per sale, particularly in connection with special programs and marketing efforts, and to maintain competitive incentives with travel agents. In Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, Peru and Colombia we pay 1% commission to travel agencies and agents. In Brazil, the industry standard is not to provide any commissions directly to travel agencies and agents.

Fleet related expenses, namely aircraft rentals and depreciation are another significant cost. These costs are mainly fixed and can be reduced on a per unit basis by achieving higher daily aircraft utilization rates. Following the combination of LAN and TAM, the percentage of our fleet under operating leases increased from 34.8% in 2011 to 37.6% in 2012, and was 37.8% as of December 31, 2013.

To manage our cost structure, we have launched various efficiency-related initiatives aimed at reducing fuel consumption and increasingly incorporating efficient aircraft into the fleet.

Higher aircraft utilization has been an important source of improved efficiency. Our utilization strategy in 2012 was coupled with the addition of new passenger routes to our network, which enabled us to leverage our human and physical assets for increased efficiency as well as increasing frequencies. In our domestic operations we have also worked consistently to improve our cost structure. The key elements of our domestic business model have focused on improving short-haul service standards, reducing sales and distribution costs through higher Internet penetration and reduced agency commission, improving turnaround time, and increasing self check-in service through web check-in and kiosks at airports.

In addition, during 2009 we began to implement LEAN, a system for improving our processes by eliminating activities that do not add value to processes (thus increasing the value of each activity and suppressing those that are superfluous), thereby allowing us to reduce costs, and increase customer satisfaction. To improve fuel efficiency, in 2009 we began a program to install winglets on LAN’s existing Boeing 767 aircraft fleet, which we continue to install as we receive new 767 aircraft. The installation of winglets on our Boeing 767 aircraft helped us to achieve average fuel efficiencies of approximately 5% per aircraft per year since implementation.

During 2013, and after a process of reviewing its post-merger fleet plan and fleet requirements, LATAM decided to undertake a broad fleet restructuring plan with the aim of reducing the number of models operated, phasing out less efficient models and allocating aircraft best suited to each one of its markets. As a result, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013 and for approximately the next thirty months, the Company will phase out all of its A330s, A340s, B737s and Q400 and Q200s. During 2013, this process generated non-recurring costs of US$29 million resulting from penalties related to anticipated redeliveries and other redelivery expenses.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased by 3.9% as compared to pro forma cost of sales for 2012, mainly resulting from a decrease of 7.7% in aircraft fuel expenses, both because of lower prices and consumption; and a decrease of 4.0% in wages and benefits related to a lower headcount.

Outlook

Our long-term strategy is aimed at consolidating LATAM Airlines Group’s position as the preferred passenger and cargo airline group in South America. The creation of LATAM Airlines Group in 2012, following the combination of LAN and TAM, has created the largest airline group in Latin America, with the largest fleet and number of destinations and, we believe, superior service standards. This combination has enabled LATAM to serve all major domestic markets across Latin America and has positioned us to compete in an increasingly consolidating global airline industry.

We will continue to expand our network by further developing our existing routes, adding new destinations, developing new alliances, and entering new markets. We expect our strong brand recognition, coupled with a continuous effort to improve service standards to drive increased customer preference, ultimately leading to strong market shares in the markets we serve. Our product and service design is aimed at providing passengers and cargo customers with differentiated offerings that provide valuable solutions to the needs of each of our customer types. We also aim to have products and services that evolve together with changes in technology, market conditions and competitive actions. We plan to maintain a highly competitive cost structure by leveraging our cost-conscious culture, incorporating new technologies and practices, and by identifying and implementing cost-reduction and efficiency-related initiatives. We believe that a focus on flexibility will enable us to effectively react to changing market conditions.

Our results will be mainly determined by the expansion of our current network, the evolution of our market share in our main markets, our level of success in entering new markets, the successful combination between LAN and TAM and achievement of the expected synergies, the continued implementation of new efficiency-related programs, the continued implementation of our business model for short-haul operations, and fuel price levels.

We plan to reinforce our regional network through the addition of new frequencies on our current routes and the addition of new destinations. We will also seek to enter into new alliances in both the passenger and cargo business, especially to build up our presence in new markets.

Competitive activity in key markets has increased gradually in recent years, and we expect it to continue doing so in the future. Nevertheless, we expect to maintain solid market shares based on offering attractive value propositions that combine broad international and domestic networks, a strong customer focus and pricing.

We are also working to increase our efficiency by streamlining our support processes, reducing commercial costs, and continuing with the implementation of our domestic business model on short-haul operations. Further efficiencies should arise from economies of scale, as growth in the transaction, regardlesspassenger business accompanied by controlled fixed costs will serve to reduce our fixed cost base. In both the passenger and the cargo businesses, we also expect increased efficiency as we replace older aircraft with new and more fuel-efficient Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 models and the Airbus A350, and from fuel efficiency-related initiatives such as installing winglets on the B767 fleet.

We will continue to focus on optimizing the utilization of the decisionbelly capacity of our wide body aircraft for the transportation of cargo, in order to benefit from the competitive advantage provided by our integrated passenger and cargo business model.

Overall, we believe that these initiatives will enable us to successfully respond to growth opportunities, maintain a solid competitive position, and manage operating expenses.

Our financial performance will also continue to be significantly affected by jet fuel prices. These prices rose significantly until mid-2008, which led to a sharp rise in our fuel expenditures, but significantly declined in 2009. During 2010 and 2011 fuel prices recovered from the 2009 decline and again rose significantly, as a result of increased demand coupled with geopolitical conflicts that affected global fuel supply. In 2012 jet fuel prices fluctuated in a stable range, having a lower impact in our fuel expenses as compared to prior years. At the end of 2013, fuel prices were high principally because of positive signs of growth in the United States, and presently, fuel is following the same trend, mainly because of the Ukraine/Russia conflict and also because of positive signs of growth in the United States and Europe. Although we have implemented a number of strategies to mitigate the impact of the volatility of fuel prices, it is unlikely that we will be able to fully protect ourselves against the volatility of fuel costs.

Net Income

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 equaled US$ 263.8 million, representing an increase of US$ 258.2 million from a net loss of US$5.6 million in 2012. Net loss attributable to the parents of the company rose to US$ 281.1 million in 2013 from US$19.1 million in 2012. Results for the 2013 year were negatively impacted by a foreign exchange offerloss of US$ 482.2 million mainly resulting from the depreciation of the Brazilian real in the year. On the other hand, in 2012 and 2013, LATAM incurred US$59.2 and US$56.0 million, respectively, of non-recurring expenses related to the merger and integration costs, and an accounting charge of US$70 million related to the increase in the Chilean corporate tax rate from 17% to 20% during 2012.

Our total operating revenues increased by 33.1% to US$ 12,924.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to revenues of US$ 9,710.4 million in 2012, reflecting the consolidation of TAM’s revenues in 2012 only since June 23. The 2013 increase in operating revenues was attributable to a 38.8% increase in passenger revenues, and a 6.9% increase in cargo revenues. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 85.6% and 14.4% of total operating revenues in 2013, respectively.

Passenger traffic and capacity in 2013 increased significantly following the full year consolidation of TAM’s domestic and international operations. Capacity increases in 2013 were mainly focused on domestic routes in our Spanish speaking countries and regional routes within Latin America, and were partially offset by decreased capacity on Brazilian domestic routes and long haul routes, especially to Europe.

Operating expenses also increased as a result of our increased operations following the combination with TAM on June 22, 2012.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased by 33.1% to US$12,924.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$9,710.4 million in 2012. Our consolidated passenger revenues increased by 38.8% to US$11,061.6 million in 2013 from US$7,966.8 million in 2012, primarily as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s revenue for 2012 since June 23.

Cargo revenues increased by 6.9%, to US$1,863.0 million in 2013 from US$1,743.5 million in 2012, also as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s cargo revenues for full year 2013. The slight increase in cargo revenues in spite of TAM’s cargo integration is a result of a weak global cargo scenario which has impacted both cargo traffic and yields.Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased by 31.7% to US$10,054.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$7,634.5 million in 2012, mainly as a result of increased operations due to the complete consolidation of TAM’s costs for year 2013. As a percentage of total operating revenues, cost of sales decreased from 78.6% in 2012 to 77.8% in 2013.

The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which increased by 28.5% to US$4,414.2 million in 2013 as a result of higher fuel consumption related to the incorporation of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012, which was partially offset by lower average fuel prices and efficiency initiatives. In addition, LATAM recognized a net gain of US$19.0 million in fuel hedging in 2013, compared to the fuel hedge loss of US$1.8 million in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization increased by US$270.6 million amounting to US$1,041.7 million, which represents an increase of 35.1% mainly due to the incorporation of all of TAM’s fleet (including new TAM fleet deliveries in 2012) starting June 23, 2012.

Wages and benefits increased by US$449.8 million amounting to US$1,881.0 million, which represents an increase of 31.4%, mainly due to the incorporation of TAM’s employees following the combination of LAN and TAM in 2012.

Other rental and landing fees increased by 30.4% to US$1,373.1 million in 2013 from U$1,052.6 million in 2012, resulting from higher fees related to a larger operation with the consolidation of TAM’s fees for full year 2013.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 60.3%, from US$297.6 million in 2012 to US$477.1 million in 2013, as a result of higher costs related to a larger fleet and higher maintenance costs related to redeliveries of aircraft.

Aircraft rentals increased by 42.8% to US$441.1 million in 2013 from US$308.8 million in 2012, primarily due to the complete consolidation of TAM’s fleet for full year 2013 and the mergers mustnet increase of aircraft under operating leases during the year.

Passenger service expenses increased by 38.2%, to US$331.4 million in 2013 compared to US$239.8 million in 2012, mainly resulting from the increase in passengers transported after the combination of LAN and TAM.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased by 38.3% from US$2,075.9 million in 2012 to US$2,870.4 million in 2013.

Other Consolidated Results

Other operating income increased in 2013 by US$121.4 million, from US$220.2 million to US$341.6 million, due to the incorporation of TAM’s other revenues since June 22, 2012, a US$28.7 million revenue from Multiplus’breakage and non-air redemptions, and an income for recognizing US$10.8 million and US$ 8.2 million generated as a result of the sale and lease-back of ten Airbus A330 aircraft, and two Airbus A318 aircraft and an engine during the second quarter of the year.

Distribution costs increased by 27.7% from US$803.6 million in 2012 to US$1,025.9 million in 2013, as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s results only starting in June 23, 2012.

Administrative expenses increased by 27.8% from US$888.7 million in 2012 to US$1,136.1 million in 2013, mainly due to an increase of 30.6% in wages and benefits resulting from the higher number of employees following the combination of LAN and TAM in 2012.

Other operating expenses increased by 31.1% from US$311.8 million in 2012 to US$408.7 million in 2013, as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses and costs related to tours and travel services, related to the integration of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012.

Financial income decreased to US$72.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$77.5 million in 2012, due to a lower average cash balance and interest rates during the period.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) increased by 57.0% to US$462.5 million in 2013 from US$292.6 million in 2012 due to higher average long-term debt related to fleet financing mainly related to the consolidation of TAM’s fleet.

Exchange rate differences decreased from a gain of US$66.7 million in 2012 to a loss of US$482.2 million in 2013, mainly resulting from the depreciation if the Brazilian real in the period.

Under other gains (losses), the Company recorded a net loss of US$55.4 million in 2013 as compared to a net loss of US$45.8 million in 2012.

Income tax credit for 2013 amounted to US$ 20.1 million as compared to an income tax expense of US$102.4 million in 2012. For more information, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Taxes” below and Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Net loss

Net loss decreased by 46.7% to a loss of US$263.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from a pro forma loss of US$494.9 million in 2012. Net loss attributable to the owners of the parent decreased by 46.3% to US$281.1 million from a pro forma net loss of US$523.1 million in 2012. Results for year 2013 were negatively impacted by a foreign exchange loss of US$ 482.2 million primarily resulting from the 10.4% depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 as compared to 2012. Results for 2013 also include US$ 29 million in non-recurring costs related to the restructuring of LATAM’s fleet plan. For more information, see “—Business strategy – Fleet restructuring plan”.

LATAM’s total operating revenues slightly decreased by 0.2% during 2013 as compared to pro forma revenues for 2012, reflecting the rationalization of our domestic Brazil and international operations and a still challenging scenario in the cargo business. These variations include the negative impact of the 10.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 as compared to 2012 in revenues denominated in that currency. The decrease in operating revenues was attributable to a decrease of 4.0% in cargo revenues, partially offset by an increase of 0.4% in passenger revenues. Passenger and cargo accounted to 85.6% and 14.4% of total operating revenues, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Total operating expenses decreased by 3.9%, mainly due to lower fuel expenses, reflecting the 2.2% decrease in consumption and the 5.6% decrease in fuel price (after hedge). Lower wages and benefits of 4.0% in the year also positively impacted our operating expenses in 2013 as compared to pro forma operating expenses in 2012.

Operating Revenues

LATAM’s total operating revenues decreased 0.2% to US$ 12,924.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from pro forma operating revenues of US$ 12,956.7 million in 2012, as a result of a 4.0% decrease in cargo revenues, partially offset by a 0.4% increase in passenger revenues.

Passenger revenues increased by 0.4% to US$ 11,061.6 million in 2013 as compared to pro forma passenger revenues of US$ 11.017.0 million in 2012, as a result of an increase of 2.5% in passenger traffic, partially offset by a decrease of 2.0% in passenger yields. Load factors increased by 2.3 percentage points from 78.6% (pro forma) to 80.8%, as the increase in traffic was despite the 0.4% decrease in capacity. Overall, revenues per ASK increased by 0.8% as compared to pro forma revenues per ASK for 2013, including the effect of the devaluation of the Brazilian real on revenues denominated in that currency during year 2013. During 2013, the 0.4% decrease in capacity as compared to pro forma capacity for 2012 was mainly a result of a strong decrease in capacity of 8.4% in the Brazilian domestic market and a rationalization of our international routes, mainly long haul routes from Brazil to Europe. This contraction was partially offset by still strong capacity increases of 11.0% in our Spanish speaking domestic markets in the period. Total passenger yields decreased mostly as a result of the depreciation of the Brazilian real and other currencies in LAN’s domestic markets.

Cargo revenues decreased by 4.0% to US$ 1,863.0 million in 2013 from pro forma cargo revenues of US$1,939.8 million in 2012, as a result of a decline of 3.5% in cargo yields and a 0.5% decrease in traffic. Cargo demand continued to be filedweak in this period, in particular on import routes into Latin America. Additionally, the decline in yields reflects the 10.4% depreciation of the Brazilian real on cargo revenues in the Brazilian domestic market during 2013 as compared to 2012, and competitive pressures from regional and international cargo carriers.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased by 4.6% to US$10,054.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from a pro forma cost of sales of US$10,536.7 million in 2012, mainly as a result of lower fuel expenses in the year. Cost of sales was positively impacted by the 10.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 as compared to 2012 in costs denominated in that currency. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales decreased from 81.3% in 2012 to 77.8% in 2013.

Aircraft fuel expense decreased by 7.7% to US$ 4,414.2 million in 2013 compared to a pro forma fuel expense of US$ 4,780.3 million in 2012. Fuel expense decreased both because of a decrease of 2.2% in consumption and a decrease in the cost of fuel. The decrease in consumption goes in line with theComisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (the national antitrust commission rationalization of Argentina) (“CNDC”) (i)passenger and cargo operations which resulted in a decrease of 0.2% in our ASK-equivalents in the year as compared to 2012 (pro forma), and ongoing fuel efficiency initiatives. The into-wing (fuel price

plus taxes and transportation costs) 2013 average final price was US$3.50 per gallon (without hedge), representing a 5.2% decrease from the 2012 average. In addition, during 2013 the Company recognized US$19.0 million in fuel hedge gains as compared to fuel hedge losses of US$ 1.8 million in year 2012.

Wages and benefits decreased 6.4% to US$1,881.0 million in 2013 compared to US$2,009.0 million in 2012, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Brazilian real during 2013 as compared to 2012. This effect was partially offset by the increase in the average wages.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by 4.2% to US$1,041.7 million in 2013 from US$1,087.0 million in 2012 (pro forma), mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Brazilian real in the year as compared to 2012. Excluding this effect, depreciation would have increased slightly as a result of the incorporation of twenty-five aircraft from the Airbus A320 family, four Boeing 767 aircraft, two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and two Boeing 787-800 aircraft to our total fleet (on and off balance sheet) during the year; partially offset by the phase out of thirteen Airbus A320 family aircraft, one Airbus A340 aircraft, one Boeing 767 aircraft, three Bombardier Dhc8-200 aircraft and one Bombardier Dhc-400 aircraft during the year.

Other rental and landing fees decreased by 0.3% to US$ 1,373.1 million in 2013 from pro forma rentals and landing fees of US$ 1,377.1 million in 2012, mainly as a result of lower aeronautical fees.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 12.4% to US$477.1 million in 2013 from US$424.4 million in 2012 (pro forma) mainly due to more aircraft redeliveries, which resulted in increased maintenance expenses for required checks prior to the perfection or closingreturn of such aircraft to lessors during the year. This effect was partially offset by the depreciation of the transaction, or (ii) withinBrazilian real on maintenance done in Brazil.

Aircraft rentals increased 4.5% to US$ 441.1 million in 2013 from pro forma rentals of US$ 422.0 million in 2012, explained by the incorporation under operating leases of five Airbus A320 family aircraft, ten Airbus A330 aircraft, two Boeing B777 aircraft and two Boeing B787 aircraft aircraft to our fleet. This effect was partially offset by the phase out of aircraft under operating leases, including eight Airbus A320 family aircraft, one week afterAirbus A340 aircraft, one Boeing B737 aircraft, two Boeing B767 aircraft, three Bombardier Dhc 8-200 aircraft and one Bombardier Dhc 8-400 aircraft during the date (a) on whichsame period.

Passenger service expenses increased by 5.2% to US$ 331.4 million from pro forma passenger services of US$ 314.9 million in 2012, mainly resulting from the transaction is closed, (b) the announcementincrease of 3.1% in passengers transported and increases in passenger concessions.

As a result of the commencementabove, gross margin increased by 22.2% from US$2,420.1 million in 2012 (pro forma) to US$2,870.4 million in 2013.

Other Consolidated Results

Other operating income increased by US$ 76.2 million to US$341.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$265.4 million in 2012 (pro forma), mainly as a result of increased income of US$28.7 million from Multiplus resulting from breakage and non-air redemptions during 2013 and the income of US$10.8 million and US$ 8.2 million generated as a result of the sale and lease-back of ten Airbus A330 aircraft, and two Airbus A318 aircraft and an engine, during the second quarter of the year, respectively.

Distribution costs decreased by 3.2% from US$1,059.7 million in 2012 (pro forma) to US$1,025.9 million in 2013. This decrease was related to lower commissions to agents (related to both passenger and cargo sales), which decreased 2.0% to US$408.7 million in 2013 from US$417.1 million in 2012.

Administrative expenses decreased by 3.3% from US$1,174.8 million in 2012 (pro forma) to US$1,136.1 million in 2013 due to lower wages and benefits expenses resulting from a lower headcount in the period and the 10.4% depreciation of the Brazilian real as compared to 2012, partially offset by the recognition of US$15.5 million in compensations related to the voluntary leave and retirement program of 800 employees at TAM.

Other operating expenses increased by 12.1% from US$364.5 million in 2012 to US$408.7 million in 2013.

Financial income decreased by 37.9% to US$72.8 million in 2013 from US$117.2 million in 2012, mainly due to a lower average cash balance and lower interest rates during the period.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) increased by 4.1% to US$462.5 million in 2013 from US$444.2 million in 2012 (pro forma) mainly as a result of a tender or exchange offer, or (c)new debt profile, which includes the acquisitionsecuritized bond issued in November 2013.

Exchange rate differences resulted in a loss of US$482.2 million in 2013 compared to a controlling stake, whichever event occurs sooner. The notificationloss of US$290.1 million in 2012. This variation is mainly explained due to the CNDC is not required in order to complete the exchange offer or the mergers.

On April 4, 2011, the CNDC initiated an investigation to determine whether the transaction would require a filing with the CNDC. LAN filed its response on May 18, 2011, enclosing the information and documentation requested by the CNDC. In its response, LAN stated that nonedepreciation of the conditions for filing the notification as set forth by the Argentinian antitrust regulations were met as of that time, and thus LAN would send the notificationBrazilian real in 2013 compared to the CNDC at the time required by those regulations.

Argentine law does not prohibit the consummation of the exchange offer or the mergers before the CNDC has granted its approval of the exchange offer2012 and the mergers.

TAM does not establish a provision for these costs but rather records them in its statement of income when such costs are incurred. LATAM records a provision for these costs based on flight hours and cycles incurred from the date on which the aircraft is first leased and utilizes this provision as and when related major maintenance activity occurs or reimbursements are required to be made to the lessor at the end of the transaction agreements.

Conditions to Completion of the Exchange Offer

The only conditions to the completion of the exchange offer are the exchange offer conditions set forth below:

 e)

The provision for maintenance costs relating to TAM aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment was decreased to account for these costs in a manner consistent with that applied in the numberLATAM consolidated financial statements. As a result of qualifying minority shares that are heldthese adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects a decrease in cost of sales of US$39.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. As discussed in the pro forma adjustments noted in in (b)(I) above, LATAM’s accounting policy for aircraft and engines recorded in property plant and equipment provides for the major maintenance components of such aircraft to be designated as components within property plant and equipment and depreciated over their technical useful lives as measured in flight hours or cycles. TAM accounts for such costs for aircraft and engines under power by “agreeing shareholders” must be more than 66 2/3%the hour contracts in its financial statements by creating a liability and recording the corresponding cost in its statement of the total number of qualifying minority shares that are held by agreeing shareholders and disagreeing shareholders (this is the minimum threshold required to cause to the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM and the delisting of the shares of TAM from Bovespa);

A holder will be deemed to be an “agreeing shareholder” with respect to its qualifying minority shares only if such holder:

validly tenders such qualifying minority shares into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and does not withdraw such shares from the exchange offer; or

qualifies such qualifying minority shares for participation in the Auction and:

indicates on the qualification form (a copy of which will be included with the letter of transmittal) that it disagrees with the deregistration of TAM as a public company in Brazil with CVM.

 f)

For purposesLAN and TAM incurred a total of US$59.2 million in one-time costs directly attributable to the delisting condition, “qualifying minority shares” mean all outstanding TAM shares not represented by TAM ADSsbusiness combination for the year ended December 31, 2012. These costs relate primarily to fees paid to legal and all outstanding TAM ADSs,other professional advisors. These non-recurring costs and the related tax effects have been eliminated in each case that are not owned by TAM, the TAM controlling shareholders, anyUnaudited Pro Forma Statement of their related persons (“pessoas vinculadas”) or any director or executive officerIncome. Additionally, a fair value adjustment of TAM.

US$16.7 million relating to credit card chargebacks increased administrative expenses for the year. On a net basis, these adjustments resulted in a decrease in administrative expenses of US$42.4 million.

Hedge Accounting: The delisting condition isUnaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects an increase in interest income of US$13.2 million for the year 2012 and a decrease in interest expense of US$7.6 million for year 2012, to account for TAM fuel hedging costs in a manner consistent with that applied by LATAM in its consolidated financial statements. Fuel hedging contracts are not waivablesubject to hedge accounting at TAM, but LATAM accounts for these contracts under Brazilian law, so if the delisting condition is not satisfied, the exchange offer will terminate and the mergers will not be completed.

Financial liabilities: The absencedifference between the fair value and the face amount of certain actions, events or circumstances that, individually orborrowings on the date of the business combination is amortized as an increase in financial costs over the remaining term of the borrowings based on their respective maturity dates. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects higher financial costs of US$9.7 million for the period the year ended December 31, 2012. On a net basis, when taken together with the decrease in interest expense as a result of TAM fuel hedging costs adjustments described in (f) above, the unaudited pro forma statement of income reflects an aggregate increase in financial costs of US$2.0 million in the aggregate, have had an adverse effect on the businesses, revenues, operations or financial condition of TAM and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in all material respects.

Net (Loss)/Income

Net income decreased by 101.9% to a loss of US$6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from an income of US$321 million in 2011. Net income attributable to the owners of the parent decreased by 105.9% to a loss of US$19 million in 2012 from an income of US$321 million in 2011. Results for the 2012 year were negatively impacted by a net loss of US$45 million related to the business combination with TAM and integration costs of US$47 million, due to the combination of LAN and TAM on June 22, 2012. In addition, LATAM recorded an accounting charge of US$70 million related to the increase in the Chilean corporate tax rate from 17% to 20% during 2012.

LATAM’s total operating revenues increased by 73.9% during 2012, reflecting the consolidation of TAM’s revenues from June 23, 2012, as well as solid upward demand trends in our passenger business. The increase in operating revenues was attributable to an increase in passenger and cargo revenues of 98.7% and 10.6%, respectively. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 82% and 18% of total operating revenues in 2012, respectively.

Passenger traffic and capacity increased significantly in 2012 following the consolidation of TAM’s domestic and international operations. Other capacity increases were mainly focused on domestic routes within Chile, regional routes within Latin America, and long-haul routes to the United States, and were partially offset by decreased capacity on Brazilian domestic routes.

Operating expenses also increased as a result of our increase in operations (including a larger fleet) following the combination with TAM on June 22, 2012.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased 73.9% to US$9,710 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from US$5,585 million in 2011. Our consolidated passenger revenues increased by 98.7% to US$7,967 million in 2012 from US$4,009 million in 2011, primarily as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s revenue from June 23, 2012. These consolidated revenues incorporate US$3,645 million as a result of the business combination with TAM. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase in passenger revenues is mainly attributable to an increase of 12.0% in passenger capacity, as measured in ASKs, and a 0.9% increase in unit revenue per ASK.

Cargo revenues increased by 10.6% to US$1,743 million in 2012 from US$1,576 million in 2011, also as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s cargo revenues from June 23, 2012. These consolidated Cargo revenues incorporate US$196 million as a result of the combination with TAM. Excluding this effect, cargo revenues decreased 2.2%.

Other operating income also increased by US$87 million to US$133 million in 2012 from US$220 million in 2011, due primarily to the sale of two properties owned by Inmobiliaria Aeronautica S.A., an affiliate of LATAM, and the sale of a Boeing 767-200 and three Airbus A318s. As a result of the combination with TAM, US$50 million in other operating income relating to TAM has been included in our consolidated results.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased by 87.2% to US$7,634 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from US$4,078 million in 2011, mainly as a result of increase in operations due to the consolidation of TAM’s costs from June 23, 2012. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales increased from 73.0% in 2011 to 78.6 % in 2012.

The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which increased by 96.3% to US$3,434 million in 2012 from US$1,750 million in 2011. Fuel expenses increased mainly due to a 68.7% increase in consumption related to the incorporation of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012. Notwithstanding the incorporation of TAM’s operations, the increase reflects a rise of 7.4% in prices and 6.1% in consumption. In addition, LATAM recognized a net loss of US$1.8 million in fuel hedging, compared to a gain of US$40 million in 2011.

Wages and benefits increased 99.5% to US$1,431 million in 2012 compared to US$718 million in 2011, mainly due to the combination between LAN and TAM.

Depreciation and amortization increased by US$388 million of which US$318 million was due to the combination with TAM. This represents an increase of 98% mainly due to the incorporation in 2012 under property, plant and equipment of all of TAM’s fleet (including new TAM fleet deliveries in 2012). Notwithstanding the incorporation of TAM’s fleet, the increase was mainly due to the addition to the LAN fleet of three Airbus A319 aircraft, seven A320 Airbus aircraft, nine Boeing 767 aircraft, three Boeing 787 aircraft, four Boeing 777 aircraft and two Boeing 777F aircraft during 2012.

Other rental and landing fees increased by US$381 million, of which US$335 million was due to the combination with TAM. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase is largely due to higher charter aircraft rentals and aeronautical charges and handling fees, in line with the increase in the size of the LAN fleet during the year detailed above. This increase was partially offset by lower costs of aviation insurance.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 63.7%, to US$298 million in 2012 from US$182 million in 2011, with US$77 million due to the combination with TAM. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase is due to the increase in the size of the LAN fleet during the year detailed above.

Aircraft rentals increased by US$139 million, primarily due to an increase of US$133 million in aircraft rentals as a result of the combination with TAM. In addition, LATAM recently leased four Airbus A320 aircraft. This increase is partially offset by the return of three Boeing 737s and two Boeing 767s.

Passenger service expenses increased by 76.5%, to US$240 million in 2012 when compared to passenger service expenses of US$136 million in 2011. This increase was primarily due to the effect of the combination with TAM, which added US$92 million to the passenger service expenses. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase is primarily due to a 16.4% increase in the number of passengers transported, partially offset by lower passenger compensation payments.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased by 37.8% to US$2,076 million in 2012 from US$1,507 million in 2011, as the increase in total revenues in 2012 following the combination of LAN and TAM were greater than the increase in costs of sales associated with the consolidation of TAM’s operations.

Other Consolidated Results

Other operating income increased by US$87 million to US$220 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from US$133 million in 2011, due primarily to the sale of two properties owned by Inmobiliaria Aeronautica S.A. and the sale of a Boeing 767-200 and three Airbus A318s, which together amounted to approximately US$29 million. As a result of the combination with TAM, US$50 million in other operating revenue relating to TAM has been included in our consolidated results.

Distribution costs increased by 67.5% to US$804 million in 2012 from US$480 million in 2011, as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s results from June 23, 2012.

Administrative expenses increased by 119.0% to US$889 million in 2012 from US$406 million in 2011, due to the higher number of employees following the combination of LAN and TAM in 2012.

Other expenses increased by 44.4% to US$310 million in 2012 from US$214 million in 2011, as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses, and costs related to tours and travel services, related to the combination of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012.

Financial income increased to US$77 million in 2012 from US$14 million in 2011, due to a higher average cash balance during the period, following the consolidation of TAM’s results from June 23, 2012.

Financial costs increased by 112.2% to US$295 million in 2012 from US$139 million in 2011 due to higher average long-term debt related to fleet financing mainly related to the consolidation of TAM’s fleet.

Exchange rate differences increased to a gain of US$67 million in 2012 from a loss of US$0.3 million in 2011. The 2012 amount is primarily due to the consolidation of TAM operations from June 23, 2012, which are substantially conducted in Brazilian real.

Under other gains/(losses), the Company recorded a net loss of US$46 million in 2012, mainly due to aircraft sale and redelivery costs.

Income tax expenses increased by 68.9%, totaling US$103 million in 2012 as compared to US$61 million in 2011.

Accounting impact of the business combination

The merger between LAN and TAM has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, with LAN treated as the acquirer of TAM.

Consideration paid was calculated, in accordance with IFRS 3, as the sum of the fair value of the LAN shares provided and the squeeze-out of the remaining TAM shareholders. Following this criteria, the total consideration paid as of June 22, 2012 was US$ 3,782.2 million.

As a result of the consolidation, certain TAM assets and liabilities which were accounted for at historical values were incorporated into the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value, as required by applicable accounting principles. Applicable accountings standards permit a one year measurement period, requiring fair value adjustments completed during that period to be adjusted against previously reported goodwill. As of June 30, 2013, the purchase price allocation has been completed. Previously reported goodwill has been adjusted to reflect fair value changes in this one year period. Goodwill as of June 30, 2013 amounts to US$ 3,890.2 million.

The main adjustments to the balance sheet accounts of TAM as a result of the consolidation with LATAM Airlines Group were related to the fair values of the following: (i) airport slots (Congonhas, JFK and Heathrow airports); (ii) the Multiplus loyalty program; (iii) fleet; and (iv) other provisions, including legal proceedings with a probability of loss below 50%, which are not accounted for under the normal course of business but must be accounted for under a business combination, according to applicable accounting standards (IFRS 3). In addition, during the first half of 2013, the Company identified and corrected certain errors in the financial statements of TAM, which are not material for LATAM.

Retrospective revision of the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2012

As required by IFRS, the consolidated financial statements of LATAM for 2012 have been retrospectively revised to reflect the following:

Error corrections in TAM’s financial statements as of 2012 in a total amount of US$599 million as of December 2012, of which US$416 million are related to revenues and deferred revenues, and US$183 million are related to taxes and deferred taxes. This adjustment resulted in US$11 million of lower net income for LATAM in 2012. The period during which the holderscorrections of qualifying minority shares had the rightthese errors have been made retrospectively and are not material to request a new appraisal report and a new appraiser under Brazilian law has expired, so the holders of qualifying minority shares no longer have the rightLATAM. Therefore, they do not require LATAM to exercise these rights.

General

Foreign currency transactions

 

 (a)Presentation and functional currencies

The items included in the financial statements of LATAM are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of LATAM is the U.S. dollar, which is also the currency of presentation of the audited consolidated financial statements of LATAM and its subsidiaries.

 (b)Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates on the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the liquidation of these transactions and from the translation, at the closing exchange rates, of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, are shown in the consolidated statement of income.

Effects of Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar in terms of the pricing of our products, composition of our balance sheet and effects on our results of operations. Most of our revenues (42% in 2013) are in U.S. dollars or in prices pegged to the U.S. dollar and a substantial portion of our expenses (60% in 2013) is denominated in dollars or pegged to the U.S. dollar, particularly fuel costs, landing and over flight fees, aircraft rentals, insurance and aircraft components and supplies. Almost all of our liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars (75% as of December 31, 2013), including bank loans, certain air traffic liabilities, and certain amounts payable to our suppliers. As of December 31, 2013, 48% of our assets were denominated in U.S. dollars, principally aircraft, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other fixed assets. Substantially all of our commitments, including operating lease and purchase commitments for aircraft, are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Although we generally maintain our international passenger fares and cargo prices in U.S. dollars or at prices pegged to the U.S. dollar, we are exposed to foreign exchange losses and gains due to exchange rate fluctuations. We recorded a net foreign exchange profit of US$66.7 million in 2012 and a net foreign exchange loss of US$482.2 million in 2013, which are set forth in our consolidated statement of income under “Exchange rates differences.” For more information, see Notes 2.3(a) and 33 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

IFRS/Non-IFRS Reconciliation

We use “Cost per ASK-equivalent” and “Cost per ASK-equivalent excluding fuel price variations” in analyzing operating expenses on a per unit basis. “ASKs” (available seat kilometers) measures the number of seats of capacity available for the transportation of passengers multiplied by the kilometers flown. “ASK-equivalent” includes capacity for both passenger and cargo equivalent tons multiplied by the kilometers flown. The figure is obtained by adding passenger ASKs and the quotient of cargo ATKs (available ton kilometers) divided by 0.095. To obtain our unit costs, which are used by our management in the analysis of our results, we divide our “total costs” by our total ASK-equivalents. “Total costs” are calculated by starting with operating expenses as defined under IFRS and making certain adjustments for interest costs and other revenues. The cost component is further adjusted to obtain “costs per ASK-equivalents excluding fuel price variations,” in order to remove the impact of changes in fuel prices for the year. “Cost per ASK-equivalent” and “Cost per ASK-equivalent excluding fuel price variations” do not have a standardized meaning, and as such may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. These metrics should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating expenses or as indicators of performance or cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.

The obligationstable below reconciles our operating expenses (as defined by IFRS) for 2013, 2012 and 2011 to costs used in the calculation of “Cost per ASK-equivalent” and “Cost per ASK-equivalent excluding fuel price variations” for such periods. Figures for 2012 (pro forma) have been presented on a pro forma basis to include the operating data of TAM controlling shareholders to make and pay the TEP Chile subscription and for TEP Chile to pay the Holdco subscriptions are subject to the following conditions (the “subscription conditions”):

since the commencement date, none of the required approvals have been revoked or amended, modified or supplemented in any way that could reasonably be expected to materially impede or interfere with, delay, postpone or materially and adversely affect the completion of the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements;

since the commencement date, no court or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any restraining order;

no adverse action commenced since the commencement date shall remain pending;

none of the following actions, events or circumstances has occurred with respect to LAN and its subsidiaries since the commencement date (or prior to that date if no executive officer of TAM had actual knowledge of such event as of the commencement date) that, individually or in the aggregate, have had an adverse effect on the businesses, revenues, operations or financial condition of LAN and its subsidiaries, in any material respect: (a) changes or termination of licenses used to conduct cargo or passenger transport services or threats of any such change or termination; (b) any loss of 10% or more of the total takeoff and landing scheduled operations of LAN and its subsidiaries at certain specified airports; (c) any loss of 15% or more of the permits or air traffic rights that are required to operate in the United States; (d) termination or expiration of any aeronautical insurance policy covering LAN and its subsidiaries unless replaced by a substantially equivalent policy within 24 hours; (e) initiations of inquiries or investigations of LAN and its subsidiaries by an airline regulatory entity relating to safety issues that could be expected to result in the revocation of any license or to be detrimental to LAN’s public image; (f) any event that prevents LAN and its subsidiaries from operating at a certain level out of certain airports; (g) the inability of Chile or Peru to safely control its airspace which prevents normal operations of LAN and its subsidiaries for any certain period of time; (h) aircraft accidents that result in loss of life or total loss of aircraft; (i) issuances of laws or orders that fix or regulate international passenger airline fares affecting 15% or more of the revenues of the international operations of LAN and its subsidiaries, impair the completion of the exchange offer or the mergers or the ability of the parties to exercise their rights and receive the benefits of their interests in Holdco I, TAM and its subsidiaries, provide for the expropriation or confiscation of LAN assets, or limit the ability to dispose of assets, suspend or limit foreign currency transactions or transfer of funds in and out of Chile, and change the current regulations applicable to capital markets in Brazil or Chile or an increase in taxes or tax rates that adversely impacts the shareholders of TAM who enter into the exchange offer; (j) any natural disaster or similar event that causes damage to infrastructure or airspace used by or any industry affecting LAN and its subsidiaries or any assets of LAN and its subsidiaries used in the ordinary course; and (k) any other event that prevents LAN and its subsidiaries from operating at least 50% of their regular flights during a 30-day period;

In addition, LATAM continues to use revenues per ASK or ATK, as applicable, in analyzing revenues on a per unit basis, which is consistent with how LAN analyzed its revenues before the merger. To obtain unit revenues, we divide our passenger revenues by our total ASKs and our cargo revenues by our total ATKs. We use our revenues as defined under IFRS for purposes of the calculation of this metric. Revenues per ASK or ATK, as the case may be, do not have a standardized meaning, and as such conditions thatmay not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by their nature areother companies. It is not an IFRS based measure of performance or liquidity. This metric should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues or as indicators of performance or cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Seasonality

Our operating revenues are substantially dependent on overall passenger and cargo traffic volume, which is subject to seasonal and other changes in traffic patterns. Our passenger revenues are generally higher in the first and fourth quarters of each year, during the southern hemisphere’s spring and summer. In the Brazilian law.passenger air transportation market, there is always a higher demand for air transportation services in the second half of the year, leaving the second quarter as the weakest one for the Company. However, the seasonality is partially mitigated by the fact of LATAM having higher than market average concentration of business travel (which is less sensitive to seasonality). Additionally, the expansion of the Company in other countries with different seasonal patterns has also moderated the overall seasonality of the passenger business.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires our management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and judgments to develop amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. We referstrive to maintain a process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the estimates that are required to prepare our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the consistent application of these policies enables us and our subsidiaries to provide readers of the financial statements with more useful and reliable information about our operating results and financial condition.

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different outcomes under different assumptions and conditions. For a discussion on these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The following are the accounting policies that we believe are the most important to the dateportrayal of our financial condition and timeresults of operations and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

Accounting estimates and judgments

The Company has used estimates to value and book some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments; these basically refer to:

The evaluation of possible impairment loss for certain assets.

The useful life and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets.

The criteria employed in the valuation of certain assets.

Air tickets sold that are not actually used.

The calculation of deferred income at the period-end corresponding to the valuation of kilometers or points credited to holders of the loyalty programs which such publication occurs ashave not yet been used.

The need for provisioning and where required the “commencement date.”determination of their values.

The recoverability of deferred tax assets.

In any case, it is possible that events will require them to be modified in Brazilthe future, in which case the holders ofeffects would be accounted for prospectively.

Additionally, the management has applied judgment in determining that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has control over TAM shares who decide to tender into the exchange offer will tenderS.A. and Subsidiaries for accounting purposes and therefore has consolidated their TAM shares and receive such LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDSs (each of which represents one LAN common share), which will be evidenced by LAN BDRs.

financial statements. The exchange offer and withdrawal rights for tenders of TAM ADSs and TAM shares will expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time (6:00 p.m. São Paulo time) (the “expiration time”)above on the date (the “expiration date”) immediately preceding the date on which the auction on Bovespa will occur (the “Auction date”).

The transaction agreements describe the schedule of events to occur after the expiration time on the expiration date as follows:

no later than the Tender Certification Time (which is 6:00 a.m. Eastern time (8:00 a.m. São Paulo time)) on the Auction date, Itaú will certify to Bovespa, Holdco II, LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders the total number of TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs)basis that the US exchange agent has certified to Itaú have been validly tendered into the exchange offer through the US exchange agent and not withdrawn from the exchange offer as of the expiration time;

at 8:00 a.m. Eastern time (9:00 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction date, Bovespa will inform LAN, Holdco II and the TAM controlling shareholders whether or not the minimum conditions (taking into account the TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered through the US exchange agent) have been satisfied;

promptly after receiving that notice (but no later than 8:10 a.m. Eastern time (9:10 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction date), LAN will notify the TAM controlling shareholders in writing as to whether or not all of the exchange offer conditions waivable by LAN (other than the condition relating to the TEP Chile subscription and the Holdco subscriptions) have been satisfied or irrevocably waived by LAN;

if the LAN condition notice states that all exchange offer conditions have been satisfied or waived, then promptly after receiving LAN’s notice (but no later than 8:20 a.m. Eastern time (9:20 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction date), the TAM controlling shareholders will inform LAN in writing whether or not all of the exchange offer conditions waivable by them and the subscription conditions have been satisfied or irrevocably waived by them, and if all such conditions have been satisfied or waived by them, then promptly after sending that notice (but no later than 8:30 a.m. Eastern time (9:30 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction date), the TAM controlling shareholders will subscribe and pay for a number of shares of TEP

Chile, which, when added to the shares of TEP Chile held by the controlling shareholders of TAM at that time, would equal 100% of the shares of TEP Chile in exchange for all of the TAM common shares and TAM preferred shares held by them (which we refer to as the “TEP Chile subscription”). The transaction agreements require that, as a result of the TEP Chile subscription, each of the TAM controlling shareholders will have the same ownership in TEP Chile as he or she had in TEP;

before the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, TEP Chile subscribed for non-voting shares of Holdco I in exchange for all of the TAM common shares to be contributed by the TAM controlling shareholders to TEP Chile and subscribed for Sister HoldcoLATAM issued their ordinary shares in exchange for all of the non-votingoutstanding common and preferred shares of Holdco I, 6.2%TAM (except those shareholders of TAM who did not accept exchange and which were subject of the voting sharessqueeze-out described in Note 18.2.a), entitling LATAM to substantially all of Holdco Ithe economic benefits that will be generated by the LATAM Group and also, consequently, exposing it to substantially all the risks incidental to the operations of TAM. This exchange aligns the economic interests of LATAM and all of the TAM preferred shares to be contributed byits shareholders, including the TAM controlling shareholders, ensuring that the shareholders and directors of TAM will have no incentive to TEP Chile. Immediately after subscription and paymentexercise their rights in a manner that is beneficial to TAM but detrimental to LATAM. Further, all significant actions required for the operation of the TEP Chile subscription, TEP Chile will pay for these subscriptions by paying Holdco I with allairlines require the affirmative vote of the TAM common shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders and pay Sister Holdco with all of the non-voting shares of Holdco I, 6.2% of the voting shares of Holdco I and all of the TAM preferred shares contributed to it by the TAM controlling shareholders (which we refer to as the “Holdco subscriptions” and the “Sister Holdco Subscriptions,” respectively, and which we refer to collectively with the TEP Chile subscriptions as the “subscriptions”);

promptly after payment of the subscriptions (but no later than 8:40 a.m. Eastern time (9:40 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction date), LANboth LATAM and the TAM controlling shareholdersshareholders.

In addition, LATAM is in the process of integrating the operations with TAM, and both entities will issuebe operated as a press release announcing that all of the exchange offer conditions have been satisfied or irrevocably waived; and

if all the exchange offer conditions are so satisfied or waived, the auction (which we refer to as the “Auction”)single company. Within this, most critical airline activities will commence at the Auction time, which is 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (10:00 a.m. São Paulo time) (or such other time as Bovespa may determine) on the Auction date, andbe managed in Brazil under the TAM controlling shareholders will cause Holdco II to complete the exchange offer on the Auction date by accepting for exchangeCEO and exchanging (with LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs issuable in the mergers) all TAM shares validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer through the Auction and all TAM shares and TAM ADSs validly tendered, and not withdrawn from, the exchange offer through the US exchange agent that Holdco II is obligated to acquire for exchange pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer. The completion of the exchange offer will be deemed to be the acquisitions of TAM shares tendered pursuant to the Auction and the acquisitions of TAM shares and TAM ADSs tendered through the US exchange agent, and such purchases will be settled on the third business day following the Auction date in accordance with the applicable procedures of Bovespa and the SEC.

However, if (x) either LAN or the TAM controlling shareholders do not state that all of the conditions described above have been satisfied or irrevocably waived or (y) the subscriptions or any of the payments required pursuant to the subscriptions are not made in full when requiredglobally by the transaction agreements, then the Auction will not occur and the exchange offer will expire without the purchase of any TAM shares or TAM ADSs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Auction commences at any time other than 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (10:00 a.m. São Paulo time) on the Auction date, then each of the times specified above (except for the last time that a withdrawal may be made) will be adjusted by the same amount that the actual time of the commencement of the Auction differs from 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (10:00 a.m. São Paulo time).

Extensions and Amendments

The exchange offer will initially expire on the date provided in the Edital. However, if all of the exchange offer conditions are not satisfied at, or waived by the parties prior to, the scheduled expiration time for the exchange offer, then LAN or the TAM controlling shareholders (if they are entitled to the benefit of the unsatisfied condition) may cause Holdco II to request permission from the CVM to extend the expiration time for the exchange offer in maximum increments of three days to no later than 28 days after the commencement date. If both LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders agree to request a modification to the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or revocation of the exchange offer, the TAM controlling shareholders are required to cause Holdco II to request permission from the CVM to modify the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or to revoke the exchange offer. LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders have agreed to cause Holdco II to request permission from the CVM to revoke the exchange offer if the transaction agreements terminate in accordance with their terms.

Delistings

Each of the TAM controlling shareholders and TAM are required to use its or their commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) the TAM shares to be delisted from Bovespa if the delisting condition is satisfied with respect to either class of TAM stock and (ii) the TAM ADSs to be delisted from the NYSE as soon as practicable after the effective time.

Completion Board Meeting

LAN is required to convene a special meeting of the LAN board of directors prior to the settlement of the acquisitions to be made pursuant to the exchange offer to give effect to the delivery of the required LAN common shares issuable pursuant to the mergers as soon as practicable, but not later than two business days following, the completion of the exchange offer.

The Mergers; Directors and Officers; By-laws

Holdco II Merger

The implementation agreement provides for the merger of Holdco II with and into LAN after the completion of the exchange offer and prior to the settlement of the purchases made pursuant to the exchange offer. As the surviving corporation, we will continue to exist following the Holdco II merger. Pursuant to the Holdco II merger, each share of Holdco II stock (including those issuable pursuant to the settlement of the purchases made pursuant to the Auction) will be converted into a LAN common share at a ratio of 0.9 of a LAN common share per share of Holdco II stock (the “Holdco II exchange ratio”). Holders of TAM preferred shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs) will receive, by virtue of the Holdco II merger, LAN common shares in the following form in exchange for their TAM shares or TAM ADSs tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer, depending on the form of TAM preferred shares tendered in the exchange offer:

holders of TAM ADSs that are tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer will receive LAN ADRs issued pursuant to the deposit agreement, dated as of October 28, 2011, among LAN, the LAN depositary, and the record holders and beneficial owners of LAN ADRs from time to time;

holders of TAM shares registered under Resolution No. 2,689/00 of January 26, 2000 enacted by the CMN that are tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer will receive LAN common shares in the form of LAN BDRs or LAN ADRs, as permitted by applicable law; and

holders of all other TAM shares tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer will receive LAN common shares in the form of BDRs representing such shares to be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement in customary form among LAN, a depositary agent to be selected by LAN and reasonably acceptable to TAM and the holders of LAN BDRs from time to time.

We are required to pay or cause to be paid all deposit fees and other expenses payable in connection with the issuance of such LAN ADRs and LAN BDRs.

Immediately after the completion of the Holdco II merger, we will contribute any TAM common shares beneficially owned by Holdco II immediately prior to such merger to Holdco I in exchange for new non-voting shares of Holdco I on a one-for-one basis. After this contribution, we will increase our ownership percentage of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I by converting our non-voting shares of Holdco I into voting shares of Holdco I to (A) 100% minus (B) 80% divided by the percentage of the outstanding TAM common shares owned by Holdco I determined on a primary basis after giving effect to such contribution.

Voting shares of Holdco I have the exclusive right to vote on, approve or consent to all matters that are subject to any vote of or approval by the shareholders of Holdco I under the applicable law of Chile or otherwise (other than the limited voting rights of the non-voting shares of Holdco I) and have no economic rights other than the right to receive a nominal dividend (we refer to these rights as the “dividend rights”). Non-voting shares of Holdco I have the exclusive right to receive all dividends, distributions or other amounts payable by Holdco I in respect of any shares of its capital stock other than the dividend rights and have no right to vote on or approve any matter that is subject to any vote of or approval by the shareholders of Holdco I under applicable law of Chile or otherwise other than the rights to vote on and approve the matters requiring the approval of the holders of such shares under the applicable law of Chile or otherwise.

Sister Holdco Mergers

The implementation agreement also provides for the merger of Sister Holdco with and into LAN after the completion of the exchange offer and prior to the settlement of the purchases made pursuant to the exchange offer. As the surviving corporation, LAN will continue to exist following the Sister Holdco merger. We refer to the time that the mergers become effective as the “effective time.”

Pursuant to the Sister Holdco merger, each share of Sister Holdco stock will be converted into 0.90 of a LAN common share at a ratio of 0.9 of a LAN common share per share of Sister Holdco stock (the “Sister Holdco exchange ratio”). We will pay or cause to be paid all deposit fees and other expenses payable in connection with the issuance of such LAN common shares.

By-Laws

The parties are required to take all necessary action so that immediately following the effective time of the mergers the by-laws of Holdco I, Sister Holdco and Holdco II shall be in the forms attached to the exchange offer agreement.

Directors

We and the TAM controlling shareholders are required to discuss in good faith and agree upon the individualsLATAM CEO, who will be directors of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their subsidiaries asin charge of the effective time and to take all necessary action to ensure that immediately following, and on the same day as, the effective timeoverall operation of the mergers, the individuals selected for electionLATAM Group and who will report to the board of directors of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their subsidiaries by each of us and TEP Chile pursuant toLATAM board. Further, the Holdco I shareholders agreement, by each of us and TEP Chile pursuant toLATAM CEO will evaluate the TAM shareholders agreement and by eachperformance of the LAN controlling shareholdersLATAM Group executives and, TEP Chile pursuant totogether with the control group shareholders agreement shallLATAM board, determine compensation. Although there are restrictions on voting interests that currently may be held by foreign investors under Brazilian law, LATAM believes that the directorseconomic substance of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their subsidiaries. For a discussion ofthese arrangements satisfies the parties rights to elect the directors of LAN, Holdco I, TAM and their subsidiaries, see the “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Shareholders Agreements—Voting Agreements.”

Effects of the Mergers

Capital Increase

When the shareholders of LAN approved the mergers, the share capital of LAN was increased by an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the share capital of Holdco II and the share capital of Sister Holdco at such time which amounts to US$ 1,417.6 million (the “initial capital increase”). After the completion of the mergers, the share capital of LAN will be increased a second timerequirements established by the amountapplicable accounting standards and that consolidation by whichLATAM of TAM’s operations is appropriate.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues include the net assetfair value of the TAM shares contributed pursuantproceeds received or to be received on sales of goods and rendering services in the subscriptions exceeds, or will be decreased by the amount by which such net asset value is less than, the initial capital increase (which we refer to as the “second capital increase”). The second capital increase of LAN will not change the number of issued and outstanding LAN common shares (including those represented by LAN ADSs and LAN BDSs).

Treatment of Holdco II and Sister Holdco Stock

At the effective time, each share of Holdco II stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be exchanged for 0.90 of a validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable LAN common share, which is the Holdco II exchange ratio less applicable withholding tax. Each share of Sister Holdco stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be exchanged for 0.90 of a validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable LAN common share, which is the Sister Holdco exchange ratio less applicable withholding tax.

TAM Options

TAM and the TAM board of directors, as applicable, were required prior to the commencementordinary course of the exchange offer to adopt any resolutionsCompany’s business. Revenues are shown net of refunds, rebates and take any actions necessary to ensure that discounts.

(a) from and after the effective timeRendering of the mergers each TAM stock option outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, whether vested or unvested, will be exercisable only when vested and only for an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of TAM stock in respect of which such TAM stock option is exercisable, and (ii) the amount (if any) by which (x) the product of the Holdco II exchange ratio and the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the last business day prior to the date on which such TAM stock option was exercised exceeds (y) the exercise price per share of TAM stock under such TAM stock option, less any applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment, and (b) none of execution, delivery or performance of the implementation agreement or the completion of the mergers or any other transactions contemplated by implementation agreement will, directly or indirectly, cause or result in any acceleration of the vesting of any TAM stock options, whether prior to, on or after the effective time.

Exchange Fundservices

Prior to the effective time, we will deposit or cause to be deposited with the US exchange agent, for the benefit of the holders of Holdco II stock and Sister Holdco stock, certificates or, at our option, evidence of shares in book-entry form, representing LAN common shares, including any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional LAN common shares, as discussed below in this section. We refer to such certificates or evidence of book-entry form, as the case may be, for LAN common shares and such cash paid in lieu of fractional shares collectively as the “exchange fund.” Any interest or income produced from investments of the exchange fund by the US exchange agent will not be deemed part of the exchange fund and will be payable to us.

Fractional Shares

No certificates or scrip representing fractional LAN common shares will be issued in the mergers or pursuant to the statutory squeeze-out and such fractional shares will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of LAN. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay each holder of a fractional LAN common share an amount in cash in US dollars equal to the product of (a) the fractional LAN common shares to which such holder would otherwise be entitled after taking into account all shares of Holdco II Stock or Sister Holdco stock owned of record by such holder immediately prior to the effective time, and (b) the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the last trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Auction on Bovespa occurs (the “Auction date”) (as reported inwww.bolsadesantiago.comor, if not reported therein, by another authoritative source), converted into US dollars using the “dólar observado” or “observed” exchange rate applicable on the Auction date as published by theBanco Central de Chile (“Central Bank of Chile”). This exchange rate (the “Chilean observed exchange rate”) is the average exchange rate of the previous business day’s transactions in the Formal Exchange Market (banks and other entities authorized by the Central Bank of Chile) and is published in theDiario Oficial (Official Gazette) by the Central Bank of Chile pursuant to number 6 of Chapter I of its Compendium of Foreign Exchange Rules on the date it applies, and is also made available atwww.bcentral.clat or around 6:00 P.M. (Santiago time) on the preceding day.

Statutory Squeeze-Out

After the completion of the exchange offer, if permitted under applicable Brazilian law, TAM will compulsorily redeem any TAM shares (including those represented as TAM ADSs) that did not accept the exchange offer, other

than those beneficially owned by the TAM controlling shareholders (the “non-tendered shares”). In this redemption, the holders of non-tendered shares will have the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of LAN ADSs or LAN BDSs that they would have received pursuant to the exchange offer in respect of its non-tendered shares (assuming they could have received fractional LAN common shares), and (ii) the closing price of the LAN common shares on the SSE on the last trading day immediately preceding the Auction date (as reported on the SSE’s website, www.bolsadesantiago.com or, if unavailable, as reported by another authoritative source), as converted into US dollars using the Chilean observed exchange rate applicable on the Auction date as published by the Central Bank of Chile, duly adjusted by the Central Bank of Brazil’s overnight lending rate. After TAM redeems all remaining TAM shares (including those represented by TAM ADSs), LAN will (i) contribute all voting ordinary shares of TAM acquired in the exchange offer to Holdco I in exchange for non-voting shares of Holdco I, and (ii) increase its ownership percentage of the outstanding voting shares of Holdco I to 20% by converting its non-voting shares of Holdco I into voting shares of Holdco I.

Delistings

Each of the TAM controlling shareholder and TAM are required to use its or their commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) the TAM preferred shares to be delisted from the Bovespa if the delisting condition is satisfied with respect to such class of TAM stock and (ii) the TAM ADSs to be delisted from the NYSE as soon as practicable after the effective time.

Termination

The transaction agreements will terminate automatically if and when (i) the exchange offer expires in accordance with its terms or is revoked with the permission of CVM without the purchase of any TAM shares or (ii) if the product of 0.90 and the high end of the range of economic value of LAN per LAN common share as determined by the Appraiser at any time is less than the low end of the range of economic value of TAM per TAM share of stock as determined by the Appraiser at such time. In addition, LAN and the TAM controlling shareholders may terminate the transaction agreements by mutual written consent.

The transaction agreements may also be terminated and the exchange offer and the mergers may be abandoned at any time prior to the commencement of the exchange offer as follows, whether before or after receipt of any requisite shareholder approvals:

by either LAN or the TAM controlling shareholders:

if the exchange offer has not commenced by June 30, 2012 (the “outside date”);

if any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction refuses to grant any required approval (other than any approval required from CVM with respect to the inclusion in the Edital of any of the LAN’s conditions to the completion of the exchange offer) and such refusal has become final and nonappealable or any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any restraining order that has become final and non-appealable, and such event would give rise to the failure of the condition relating to receipt of all required approvals or absence of restraining order;

however, none of the termination rights described in the preceding bullet points will be available to any party whose material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant in any transaction agreement has been a principal cause of the failure of the exchange offer to commence by the outside date or the failure of the condition giving rise to such termination right, as applicable.

by LAN:

if TAM, TEP or the TAM controlling shareholders has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the transaction agreements or any of such representations and warranties becomes untrue as of any date after the signing date, which breach

or failure to perform or untruth (i) would give rise to the failure of the condition relating to accuracy of the representations and warranties of TAM, the TAM controlling shareholder and the Amaro family or compliance by any of them with their obligations under the transaction agreements and (ii) is not capable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by TAM, the TAM controlling shareholder or the Amaro family, as applicable, by the earlier of (A) the day before the outside date and (B) the 30th calendar day following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from LAN;

prior to the commencement of the exchange offer if CVM has refused to grant its approval to the inclusion in the Edital of any of the LAN’s conditions to the completion of the exchange offer; or

if (i) the TAM board of directors or any committee thereof (x) withholds, withdraws or modifies or qualifies in any manner adverse to LAN either of the recommendations of the board of directors of TAM in support of the proposed combination, (y) approves, adopts, or recommends any alternative proposal, or (z) makes, causes to be made or resolves to make or cause to be made any public statement proposing or announcing an intention to take any of the preceding actions (which we refer to as a “TAM board recommendation change”); or (iii) in any such case all of the directors designated for election to the TAM board of directors by the TAM controlling shareholder and/or the Amaro family do not vote against the TAM board recommendation change;

by the TAM controlling shareholders:

if LAN or the LAN controlling shareholders has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the transaction agreements or any of such representations and warranties becomes untrue as of any date after the signing date, which breach or failure to perform or untruth (i) would give rise to the failure of the condition relating to accuracy of the representations and warranties of LAN and the LAN controlling shareholders or compliance by any of them with their obligations under the transaction agreements and (ii) is not capable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by LAN or the LAN controlling shareholders, as applicable, by the earlier of (A) the day before the outside date and (B) the 30th calendar day following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from TAM; or

if (i) the LAN board of directors or any committee thereof (x) withholds, withdraws or modifies or qualifies in any manner adverse to TAM either of the LAN board recommendations in support of the proposed combination, (y) approves, adopts, or recommends any alternative proposal, or (z) makes, causes to be made or resolves to make or cause to be made any public statement proposing or announcing an intention to take any of the preceding actions (which we refer to collectively as, a “LAN board recommendation change”) or (iii) in either such case all of the directors designated for election to the LAN board of directors by the LAN controlling shareholders did not vote against the LAN board recommendation change.

Termination Fees

TAM is required to pay us a fee equal to US$200 million (“TAM termination fee”) and reimburse LAN for all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the transaction agreements and the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements up to a maximum amount of $25 million (no later than the second business day after TAM receives documentation for reimbursement) if:

LAN terminates the transaction agreements because the board of directors of TAM or any committee thereof (x) withholds, withdraws or modifies or qualifies in any manner adverse to LAN either of the recommendations of the board of directors of TAM in support of the proposed combination, (y) approves, adopts, or recommends any alternative proposal, or (z) makes, causes to be made or resolves to make or cause to be made any public statement proposing or announcing an intention to take any of the foregoing actions; or within 12 months after the date that a competing proposal termination occurs, TAM or any of its subsidiaries completes any transaction that constitutes a competing proposal with the person that made the

competing proposal or any of its affiliates, enters into any binding or non-binding agreement with such person or any of its affiliates providing for a transaction that constitutes a competing proposal or the board of directors of TAM approves or recommends to its shareholders or does not oppose any competing proposal made by such person or any of its affiliates (in each case regardless of whether such competing proposal was made or announced or became publicly known before or after termination of the transaction agreements and in any such case the TAM termination fee is payable on the date that is the first to occur of the event(s) referred to in this paragraph).

A “competing proposal termination” occurs if:

 

 (A)a.1any person makes an alternative proposal with respect to TAM or LAN, or a “competing proposal,” to any party or its representatives,Passenger and cargo transport

We recognize passenger and cargo revenues either when the transportation service is provided or when we determine that the tickets will not be used or refunded, which, in the case of passenger revenues, reduces the air traffic liability. We estimate revenue breakage based on historical breakage experience that takes into account the aging of tickets that will not be used or refunded. Commissions payable related to such unearned earnings are shown net of the air traffic liability. Other revenues, including aircraft leases, courier, logistic and ground services, duty free sales, and storage and customs brokering, are recognized when services are provided.

The amount of passenger ticket sales not yet recognized as revenue is reflected as an air traffic liability. Air traffic liability includes estimates of the amount of future refunds and exchanges, net of forfeitures for all unused tickets once the flight date has passed. We perform periodic evaluations of this estimated liability based on actual results. Any adjustments, which can be significant, are included in the results of operations for the periods in which the evaluations are completed. These adjustments relate primarily to the differences between our estimation of certain revenue transactions and the related sales price, as well as refunds, exchanges and other items for which final settlement occurs in periods subsequent to the sale of the related tickets at amounts other than the original sales price.

Actual events and circumstances may differ from historical fare sale activity and customer travel patterns and can result in refunds, exchanges or forfeited tickets differing significantly from estimates. We evaluate our estimates periodically. If actual refunds, exchanges or forfeitures fall outside of our estimated ranges, we review our estimates and assumptions and adjust air traffic liability and passenger revenues as necessary. As with any estimates, actual results may vary from estimated amounts.

a.2Frequent flyer program

The Company has a frequent flyer program for LATAM passengers called LANPASS and a frequent flyer program for TAM passengers called TAM Fidelidade. Customers can also earn points through Multiplus, a subsidiary of TAM, which permits the accrual of points for many products and services (not just airline flights) and had more than 200 partner establishments, including the TAM Fidelidade program, as of December 31, 2013.

Both frequent flyer programs’ objective is customer loyalty through the delivery of LANPASS kilometers or Multiplus points every time that members of the program fly with the Company or its alliance partners, use the services of entities registered with the program or make purchases with an associated credit card. The kilometers/points earned can be exchanged for flights tickets or other services of associated entities.

The consolidated financial statements include LANPASS liabilities for this concept (deferred income), according to the estimate of the valuation established for the kilometers accumulated pending use at that date, in accordance with IFRIC 13: “Customer loyalty programs.” Points earned from TAM Fidelidade members are bought from Multiplus and seats redeemed are sold to Multiplus. Multiplus manages the points liabilities. Revenue from both programs are recognized once the purchased tickets are flown.

LANPASS Kilometers expire if they are not utilized over a period of three years. This period is renewable if the passenger takes a flight or meets specific requirements regarding the accumulation of kilometers through one of the partners of the program. Multiplus Points expire if they are not utilized over a period of two years, this period is not renewable.

Property, Plant and Equipment

LATAM’s land is recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the property, plant and equipment are shown, initially and subsequently, at their historic cost less the corresponding depreciation and any impairment loss.

The amount of advance payments to aircraft manufacturers are capitalized by the Company under “Construction in progress” until receipt of aircraft.

Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements and extensions) are included in the value of the initial asset or shown as a separate asset only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the elements of Property, plant and equipment are going to flow to the Company and the cost of the element can be determined reliably. The value of the component replaced is written-off in the books at the time of replacement. The rest of the repairs and maintenance are charged to the result of the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives; except in the case of certain technical components, which are depreciated on the basis of cycles and hours flown.

The residual value and useful life of assets is revised, and adjusted if necessary, once a year.

When the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, its value is reduced immediately to its recoverable amount. For more information, see Note 2.8 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Losses and gains on the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the proceeds obtained with the book value and are included in the consolidated statement of income.

Maintenance

The costs incurred for scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft’s fuselage and engines are capitalized and depreciated until the next maintenance. The depreciation rate is determined on technical grounds, according to the use of the aircraft expressed in terms of cycles and flight hours.

In case of on balance sheet aircraft, these maintenance costs are capitalized as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of off balance sheet aircraft maintenance costs are periodically provided for and recognized through profit and loss as “Cost of sales”.

The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivatives are booked initially at fair value on the date the derivative contracts are signed and later they continue to be valued at their fair value. The method for booking the resultant loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item hedged.

The Company designates certain derivatives as:

(a)Hedge of the fair value of recognized assets (“fair value hedge”);

 

 (B)(b)Hedge of a competing proposal by any person becomes publicly known,identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly probable transaction (“cash-flow hedge”); or

 

 (C)(c)any person publicly announces an intention (whether orDerivatives that do not conditional) to make a competing proposal; andqualify for hedge accounting.

InThe Company documents, at the inception of each case,transaction, the transaction agreements automatically terminate solely because eitherrelationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its objectives for managing risk and the strategy for carrying out various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the beginning and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the minimum conditionsitems being hedged.

The total fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as an Other non-current financial asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedging instrument is over 12 months, and as an Other current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the hedging instrument is less than 12 months. Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as other financial assets or liabilities, current in the case that their remaining maturity is less than 12 months and non-current in the case that it is more than 12 months.

(a)Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are shown in the consolidated statement of income, together with any change in the fair value of the asset or liability hedged that is attributable to the risk being hedged.

(b)Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in net equity. The loss or gain relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income under “Other gains (losses).” Amounts deferred in equity are reclassified to profit and loss when the related hedged item impacts profit and loss.

In the case of variable interest-rate hedges, this means that the amounts recognized in equity are reclassified to results within financial cost at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.

For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in equity are reclassified to results as Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.

For foreign currency hedges, the amounts shown in equity are reclassified to results to the extent that the deferred revenue resulting from the use of points, are recognized as income.

When hedging instruments mature or are sold or when they do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedges, any gain or loss accumulated in net equity until that moment remains in equity and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized. When it is expected that the hedged transaction is no longer going to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in net equity is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income as “Other gains (losses).”

(c) Derivatives not booked as a hedge

The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that is not satisfiedbooked as a hedge are shown immediately in the consolidated statement of income, in “Other gains (losses).”

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are calculated on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their book values. However, if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of a liability or because an appraisal event occurs.

We are required to pay TAM a fee equal to $200 million (“LAN termination fee”) and reimburse TAM for all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it or any of its subsidiariesasset in connection with the transaction agreements and the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements up to a maximum amount of $25 million (no later than the second business day after we receive documentation for reimbursement) if:

the TAM controlling shareholders terminate the transaction agreements because the board of directors of LAN or any committee thereof (x) withholds, withdraws or modifies or qualifies in any manner adverse to TAM either of the recommendations of the board of directors of LAN in support of the proposed combination, (y) approves, adopts, or recommends any alternative proposal, or (z) makes, causes to be made or resolves to make or cause to be made any public statement proposing or announcing an intention to take any of the foregoing actions; or within 12 months after the date that a competing proposal termination occurs, LAN or any of its subsidiaries complete any transaction that constitutes a competing proposal with the person that made the competing proposal or any of its affiliates, enter into any binding or non-binding agreement with such person or any of its affiliates providing for a transaction different from a business combination that constitutes a competing proposal or LAN’s board of directors approves or recommends to its shareholders or does not oppose any competing proposal made by such person or any of its affiliates (in each case regardless of whether such competing proposal was made or announced or became publicly known before or after terminationat the time of the transaction agreementsdoes not affect the accounting result or the tax gain or loss, they are not booked. The deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws), that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period, and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is discharged.

Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax earnings with which to compensate the temporary differences.

The Company does not record deferred tax on temporary differences arising on investments in any such casesubsidiaries, provided that the LAN termination feeopportunity to reverse the temporary differences is payablecontrolled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax on temporary differences arising on investments in associates is immaterial.

In addition to the cash and marketable securities LATAM has access to short term credit lines. As of December 31, 2013, LATAM had working capital uncommitted credit facilities for a total amount of US$ 1.9 billion, of which $1,091 million was drawn as of December 31, 2013, and committed credit lines with a total available amount of US$185 million, of which $0 was drawn as of December 31, 2013.

Net cash generated from operating activities

Cash from operations is derived primarily from providing air passenger and cargo transportation to customers. Operating cash outflows are primarily related to the recurring expenses of airline operations, including fuel consumption. Net cash inflows from operating activities in this paragraph).

Remedies

If either we2013 increase $204.9 million, or TAM fails promptly17.0%, from US$1,203.8 million in 2012, primarily due to payan improvement in the amountoperational margin and the turnaround of the Brazilian domestic market, mainly reflected in a stronger fourth quarter operational result. Net cash generated from LATAM’s operating activities in 2012 increased US$436.1 million from US$767.7 million in 2011 to US$1,203.8 million in 2012, mainly due to the other party as a result of the termination of the transaction agreements under certain circumstances and,increase in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against us or TAM for all or a portion of the TAM termination fee or the LAN termination fee, as applicable, such party is required to pay to the other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the TAM termination fee or the LAN termination fee, as applicable, accruing from the date such payment was required to be made pursuant to the implementation agreement until the date of payment at the six-month LIBOR rate in effect on the date such payment was required to be made plus 3%. The right to receive the fees and expenses payable described above under “—Termination Fees” will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies a party may have at law or in equity with respect to breaches of the implementation agreement by the other party.

Indemnification

Indemnification by the TAM Controlling Shareholders

The controlling shareholders of TAM, jointly and severally, are required to indemnify, defend and hold us, our affiliates and our respective directors, officers, employees and shareholders harmless from and against any and all indemnifiable losses incurred by any of us (whether or not involving a claim by a third party) arising out of or resulting from any failure by the controlling shareholders of TAM to confirm in writing to us on the expiration date that any of the subscription conditions was satisfied if (but only if) such condition was in fact satisfied.

Access

Subject to certain exceptions, both we and TAM will, upon reasonable prior written notice, afford the other and its authorized representatives reasonable access to it and furnish the other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested until the completion of the exchange offer or termination of the transaction agreements, whichever occurs sooner.

Amendment

The parties are not permitted to amend transaction agreements after the commencement of the exchange offer.

Expenses

Except for the termination fees described above, each party is required to pay its own fees and expenses that it incurs in connection with the transaction agreements, the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the transaction agreements, regardless of whether the exchange offer is commenced or the exchange offer and the mergers are completed, except that expenses incurred in connection with the printing and mailing of the exchange offer prospectus and the filing fee for the Form F-4 will be shared equally by LAN, on the one hand, and TAM controlling shareholders, on the other hand.

Choice of Law and Jurisdiction

The transaction agreements are governed by New York law with regard to all matters other than the authorization and execution of the transaction agreements, which are governed by the laws of each party’s jurisdiction of incorporation.

Shareholders Agreements

As discussed above under the section “—The Transaction Agreements”,operations following the combination of LAN and TAM on June 22, 2012. In addition, cash flows from operations in 2011 were reduced by US$84.0 million as a result of fine payments.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in 2013 decreased US$647.6 million from US$1,926.4 million in 2012 to US$1,278.8 million in 2013, primarily due to LATAM’s capital increase, the decrease in capital expenditure and the return of PDP payments relating to the aircraft deliveries. Aircraft purchases in 2013 included 20 narrow body aircraft and 4 wide body aircraft for a total of US$1,219 million.

Net cash used in investing activities in 2012 increased US$685.3 million from US$1,241.1 million in 2011 to US$1,926.4 million in 2012, primarily due to aircraft purchases which were partially offset by the inclusion of US$264.0 million of cash on the balance sheet of TAM. Aircraft purchases in 2012 included 14 narrow body aircraft and 18 wide body aircraft for a total of US$2,535 million.

Net cash generated from financing activities

Net cash generated from financing activities increased by US$200.6 million from US$1,005.2 million to US$1,205.8million in 2013, primarily due to increase long term debt related to new aircraft purchases, but partially offset by the voluntary prepayment of the BRL 400 million local Brazilian bonds.

Net cash generated from financing activities increased by US$788.3 million from US$216.9 million to US$1,005.2 million in 2012, primarily due to increase long term debt related to new aircraft purchases. Of these 2012 aircraft purchases, approximately 85% of the net aircraft prices were financed.

Sources of financing

Long term

We typically finance our fleet with long-term loans covering between 80% and 100% of the net purchase price. We also finance our aircraft under sale and leaseback arrangements in order to add flexibility to our fleet. For more information regarding to the fleet financing, please refer to “—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.”

From time to time in the past, we have considered, and may consider in the future, other forms of financing including securitization of ticket receivables or the securitization of fleet and engines or the issuance of additional debt or equity securities.

During 2013, LATAM completed two important debt structuring transactions. On November 7, 2013, LATAM issued a 7-year securitized bond, securitizing the future flow of receivables from certain foreign institutions operating credit card systems in the United States and Canada in the amount of US$450 million, at an interest rate of 6.0% per annum. Later, on December 19th, LATAM completed the refinancing of five B767 aircrafts, including three passengers and two freighters B767, for a total amount of US$95.3 million.

Short term

We have generally been able to arrange for short-term loans with local Chilean and international banks when we have needed to finance working capital expenditures or increase our liquidity. As of December 31, 2013, we maintained US$629 million in short-term credit lines with both local and foreign banks, including US$185 million of committed credit lines.

We have diversified our sources of short term financing to include the following: PAE (“Prestamos a Exportadores”), which are foreign currency short term loans granted to exporting parties in Chile mainly to finance working capital; FINIMPS (“Financiamento à Importação”), which are short term loans granted to importers in Brazil; Credit card advancements, a financial alternative where the bank advances to the Company the cash inflows related to the credit card sales on installments with a discount factor; and advance purchases by Multiplus of kilometers for TAM flights, in an amount at any time up to a maximum of R$500 million.

Capital expenditures

Our capital expenditures are related to the acquisition of aircraft, aircraft-related equipment, IT equipment, support infrastructure and the funding of pre-delivery deposits. LATAM’s capital expenditures totaled US$1,381.8 million in 2013, US$2,389.4 million in 2012 and US$1,367.0 million in 2011. See “—Sources of financing” above.

The following chart sets forth our estimate, as of December 31, 2013, of our future capital expenditures for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 calendar years:

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations” below for a description of our purchase obligations, borrowings and other contractual commitments as of December 31, 2013.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

LATAM has registered the trademarks “LAN,” “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” and “LAN Ecuador” with the trademark office in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador, respectively. We license certain brands, logos and trade dress under the alliance agreement withoneworld® related to LAN’s alliance. As long as LAN is a member ofoneworld®, it will have the right to continue to use current logos on its aircraft.

TAM holds or has filed registration applications for 229 trademarks before theInstituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial, or INPI, the body with jurisdiction for registering trademarks and patents in Brazil, and 74 trademarks before the bodies with jurisdiction for registering trademarks in other countries in which TAM operates. Currently, TAM is not aware of any third-party challenges to these applications.

D. Trend Information

During 2014, we expect to continue to experience positive trends in the passenger operations, where we see significant growth opportunities in domestic and international markets in Latin America, and believe that the positive integration of LAN’s and TAM’s operations will allow us to start achieving the estimated synergies of the combination. Fuel prices have remained relatively stable thus far in 2014. Nevertheless, geopolitical instability, which affects the supply of fuel, is a potential risk since fuel supply is key to our business, as it represents approximately 35% of our operating expenses. We can address increases in fuel prices through our fuel-hedging policy and the use of pass-through mechanisms for both the passenger and cargo operations. However, these strategies are never completely effective and our operating margins are negatively impacted by a higher fuel price scenario. Specifically, we expect to face:

slight revenue growth in the passenger operations, resulting from a rationalization of passenger capacity in the domestic Brazil market and the international long haul operations, partially offset by still strong traffic growth in the operations in our Spanish speaking countries. During January and February 2014, passenger traffic decreased by 1.1% compared to the same period in 2013, driven mainly by a decrease of 3.0% in traffic in international routes and the continued rationalization in the domestic Brazil market, where traffic decreased by 1.9% in the period. This trend was partially offset by solid growth in domestic operations in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia, where traffic increased 7.1% as compared to the same period in 2013. In the Brazilian domestic market, capacity decreased by 5.0% during the two month period ended February, leading to a load factor of 83.0%, an increase of 2.6 percentage points as compared to the same period in 2013. In our international operations, capacity strongly decreased by 7.2% in the period, resulting in a strong increase of 3.6 percentage points in load factors, from 79.8% to 83.4%. This capacity rationalization has been focused on unprofitable routes, mainly routes from Rio de Janeiro to Europe. Capacity increases have mainly been focused on domestic routes within our Spanish speaking countries. In these markets, capacity grew by 5.5% in January and February 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, and traffic continued to increase at a strong pace.

cargo operations continue to be adversely affected by the challenging macroeconomic environment, which we expect to be partially compensated by solid export volumes from Latin America to the United States and Europe. During January and February 2014, cargo traffic, as measured in RTKs, slightly increased by 0.1%, while capacity decreased by 5.2% as compared to the same period in 2013. As a consequence, the cargo load factor increased by 3.0 percentage points to 57.1% as compared to the same period in 2013. Despite the challenging scenario in the cargo business, we have been able to adjust our cargo freighter capacity and focus in the optimization of the belly capacity to better respond to the current situation.

In 2014, we expect to continue expanding and diversifying our revenue base through the expansion of our network, namely, by further developing our existing routes, adding new destinations, developing new alliances, and entering new markets. During 2014, we expect to receive 14 Airbus A320-Family aircraft to operate domestic and regional routes, as well as 5 additional wide-body passenger aircraft (Models Boeing 767-300 and Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners) for long-haul routes. We also expect the return of 5 leased Boeing 737 aircraft, the return of 3 leased A340 aircraft, and the return of 3 leased Dash 8-Q400 aircraft operated by LAN Colombia. In addition, we expect to sale 7 Airbus A330 and take phase out some Airbus A320 family aircraft to be replaced by new aircraft of this family. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Fleet.”

In the cargo business, we will continue to adjust capacity in response to weakened demand in our core markets and to macroeconomic conditions. We expect import flows to Latin America to recover, but weaker cargo markets globally might further drive additional competition to South America, especially Brazil. We will continue to monitor the cargo market trends on a weekly basis in order to react as soon as possible if necessary. Also, we plan to continue to optimize the utilization of the bellies of our passenger aircraft to maximize synergies associated with the Company’s integrated passenger/cargo business model.

We continue to maintain significant flexibility to adjust the physical size of our fleet. Between 2014 and 2016, we will have 25 operating lease expirations (including Japanese operating leases) in our wide-body passenger fleet, which can be terminated without cost. Starting in 2010, part of our Boeing 767 fleet has been fully paid, providing us with additional financial flexibility.

We also intend to make our cost structure more efficient and to offset potential decreases in demand with more efficient asset utilization, and we aim to enhance efficiency by streamlining our support processes, reducing commercial costs, continuing to develop our domestic business model for short-haul operations, and further developing the LEAN system in our processes.

Although we expect fuel prices to remain stable for the remainder of 2014, we will continue to use fuel hedging programs and fuel surcharge mechanisms in both the passenger and cargo businesses to help minimize the impact of short-term movements in crude oil prices. For instance, as of March 31, 2014 we have hedged approximately 56% of our estimated fuel requirements for the first quarter 2014, 51% for the second quarter and 25% for the third quarter. These hedging instruments are comprised of a combination of WTI and jet fuel collars and swaps. These hedges are for an average price between US$120 and US$122 dollars per barrel in jet fuel prices.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2013 the Company had 128 aircraft (of which 79 are obligations of TAM and 49 are obligations of LAN) and 19 aircraft engines under operating leases. These operating leases provide us with flexibility to adjust our fleet to any demand volatility that may affect the airline industry and therefore we consider such arrangements to be of great value to our strategy and financial performance. The total future lease payments related to our operating leases as of December 31, 2013 were US$1,912.0 million, for all remaining periods through maturity (the latest of which expires in 2020). See “—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.”

Under the aforementioned operating leases, LATAM is responsible for all maintenance, insurance and other costs associated with operating these aircraft. The Company has not made any residual value or similar guarantees to our lessors. There are certain guarantees and indemnities to other unrelated parties that are not reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, but we believe that these will not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

LATAM operates 22 aircraft under tax leasing structures. These methods involve the creation of special purpose entities that acquire aircraft with bank and third party financing. Under IFRS, these aircraft are shown in the consolidated statement of financial position as part of “Property, plant and equipment” and the corresponding debt is shown as a liability. Of LATAM’s total tax leases, nine TAM tax leases are classified as operating leases for accounting purposes as of December 31, 2013.

As of December 31, 2013, we are not aware of any event, lawsuit, commitment, trend or uncertainty that may result in, or is reasonably likely to result in, the termination of the operating leases. See Note 33 to our audited consolidated financial statements for a more detailed discussion of these commitments.

F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations and commitments primarily related to the payment of aircraft debt and lease arrangements, principal and interest on our non-aircraft long-term debt (which consists of senior notes, a securitized bond and bank loans), short-term export-import credits and for the future incorporation of aircraft to our fleet.

The Company’s debt that is secured by aircraft (including Export-Import Bank of the United States (“Ex-IM Bank”) Bank guaranteed bonds, Export Credit Agency (“ECA”) guaranteed loans, commercial loans, Japanese Lease with a call option (“JALCO”) structures and capital leases) as of December 31, 2013, was US$6,654.0 million. In general, LATAM’s aircraft debt has 12 year repayment profiles. However, some financing structures feature a balloon payment or a purchase option at the end of the lease. By refinancing this balloon payment, the maturity dates of a number of our aircraft financings have been extended for another 3 to 8 years (some up to 20 years in total). Our 2013 aircraft acquisitions are described in further detail below under “—2013 Fleet Acquisitions.”

During December 2013, following LATAM’s strategy to reduce its short term debt and replace it by more structured long term facilities, the company pledged five fully paid B767 aircraft (three passenger and two Cargo aircraft) as collateral for a bank loan for an amount of US$ 95 million due in December 2016.

Regarding non-aircraft debt, LATAM issued a securitized bond for an amount of US$ 450 million in November 2013 with seven years tenor and two years interest only. This bond is backed by future flows of credit card sales of LATAM Airlines in the United States and Canada. The coupon is 6.0% fixed with quarterly payments.

In addition, TAM has three series of senior notes, totaling US$1,100 million. TAM’s senior notes comprise:

US$300 million due in 2017, with a fixed coupon of 7.375% payable semi-annually, issued by TAM Capital Inc. and guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by TAM S.A. and TAM Linhas Aereas. These notes are listed on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. On December 18, 2007, TAM completed an exchange offer pursuant to which 99.2% of the holders exchanged these notes for new notes that are registered under the Securities Act and otherwise have identical terms;

US$300 million due in 2020, with a fixed coupon of 9.5% payable semi-annually, issued by TAM Capital 2 Inc. and guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by TAM S.A. and TAM Linhas Aereas; and

US$500 million due in 2021, with a fixed coupon of 8.375% payable semi-annually, issued by TAM Capital 3 Inc. and guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by TAM S.A. and TAM Linhas Aereas.

The average interest rate of all of our long term debt (which is our aircraft debt plus the senior notes issued by TAM, the LATAM securitization and bank loans) was 3.89% as of December 31, 2013. Out of the total long-term debt, 73% accrues interest at a fixed rate (either through a stated fixed interest rate or through our use of interest rate swap agreements) or is subject to interest rate caps.

As of December 2013, LATAM had US$1,969.3 million in current debt liabilities. Of this amount, US$896.1 million was short-term debt, which represents 46% of our total current debt liabilities. The remaining US$1,073.1 million is composed mainly of amounts payable within the next 12 months related to aircraft financing.

Various EX-IM Bank loans signed by the Company for the financing of Boeing 767, 777 and 787 aircraft also contain financial covenants and other restrictions, including on the Company’s management in terms of its ownership and disposal of assets. In connection with the financing of spare engines for its Boeing 767, 767 freighter, 777, 777 freighter and 787 fleet, which are also guaranteed by the EX-IM Bank, financial covenants and other customary restrictions also apply. Additionally, with respect to various EX-IM Bank loans signed by Lan Cargo S.A. for the financing of Boeing 767 freighter and 777 freighter aircraft, financial covenants and other restrictions have been established to the Company’s management and its subsidiary Lan Cargo S.A. in terms of shareholder composition and disposal of assets.

As of December 31, 2013, we also had purchase obligations totaling US$12.2 billion, with deliveries between 2014 and 2020, as set forth below:

Airbus A320-Family, passenger aircraft deliveries: 116,

Wide-body passenger aircraft deliveries (which include the Airbus A350 900XWB, the Boeing, the Boeing 787-8, and the Boeing 787-9): 48, and

Boeing 777-Freighter, cargo aircraft deliveries: 2

2013 Fleet Acquisitions

During 2013, LATAM completed the acquisition of the following wide body aircraft:

4 Boeing 767-300ER passenger aircraft, financed through EX-IM Bank guaranteed bond(s)

2 Boeing 787-8 passenger aircraft, financed through sale and leaseback transaction(s)

2 Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft, financed through sale and leaseback transaction(s)

These EX-IM Bank financial obligations have a repayment profile of 12 years, with a guarantee covering 85% of the net purchase price of the aircraft. The EX-IM Bank guarantee is secured with a first priority mortgage on the aircraft in favor of a security trustee on behalf of EX-IM Bank. We have financed the remaining 15% of the net purchase price with our own funds. The first two aircraft were financed by EX-IM supported loans which subsequently were refinanced by EX-IM bank supported bond. The second two aircraft were pre-funded by EX-IM bank supported bonds.

Wide-body aircraft financed through sale and leaseback transactions have lease terms between 4 and 12 years. These leases are denominated in U.S. dollars and have monthly payments.

In June 2013, LATAM entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with a leasing company for 10 A330 aircraft, which were operated by TAM, for a lease term of approximately 3 years following the company’s plan to replace this type of aircraft with new technology aircraft in the next years. Additionally 9 A350-900, 4 B787-9 and 2 B787-8 future deliveries were part of this deal in order to add more flexibility to LATAM’s wide body fleet plan.

During 2013, LATAM completed the acquisition of the following narrow body aircraft:

11 Airbus A320-200 passenger aircraft, financed through ECA guaranteed bond(s)

5 Airbus A320-200 passenger aircraft, financed through sale and leaseback transaction(s)

8 Airbus A320-200 passenger aircraft, financed through commercial loan(s)

1 Airbus 321-231 passenger aircraft, financed through ECA guaranteed bond(s)

Aircraft financed by ECA-guaranteed bonds have an advance rate equal to 80% of the net purchase price of the aircraft for a 12 year period, with the remaining 20% of the aircraft being financed by the Company’s available cash flows. Initially these aircraft were financed through ECA guaranteed loans and later converted to ECA guaranteed bonds.

In the case of the commercial financing for our Airbus 320-200 fleet, there is a senior tranche financing 81.7% of the net purchase price of the aircraft. A first priority mortgage on the aircraft is in favor of a security trustee on behalf of the senior lender. The documentation for each loan follows standard market forms for the type of financing, including standard events of default.

Finally, narrow body aircraft financed through sale and leaseback transactions have lease terms of 8 years. These leases are denominated in U.S. dollars and have monthly payments.

The majority of our wide body and narrow body aircraft financings through EX-IM Bank bonds, ECA guaranteed loans or commercial loans are denominated in U.S. dollars and have quarterly amortizations with a combination of fixed and floating rates linked to USD LIBOR. A small portion of our aircraft debt has monthly or semiannual payments; nevertheless it is also denominated in US Dollars and linked to USD LIBOR. Through the use of interest rate swaps and fixed coupon Bond emissions in the case of Boeing aircraft, we have effectively converted a significant portion of our floating rate debt under these loans into fixed rate debt.

If the employee has not exercised or waived the options in that period, the employee will be understood, for all purposes, to have waived the options and, accordingly, all rights, powers, promises or offers in relation to the subscription of cash shares in the Company will be deemed extinguished and it will be understood that the employee has irrevocably waived all rights or powers in relation thereto, releasing us from any obligation.

(e)The price payable for these shares if the respective options are exercised is US$23.19, adjusted by the variation in theConsumer Price Index (“CPI”) published monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor, from the date it was set by our Board of Directors to the date of subscription and payment of the shares. Such price shall be paid in Chilean pesos, converted at the observed dollar exchange rate published in the Official Gazette on the same date as subscription and payment of the shares.

The selection of employees for participation in the stock option plan was based on, among other criteria that the Board determined at the time of employment with the Company, the position they hold, their importance in earning profits, the responsibility of their position, the amount of equity managed, the ability to work as a team, performance, potential for development and importance within the Company given their education and experience.

As of December 31, 2013, Stock Option Contracts were issued by the Company to 46 employees of the Company and its subsidiaries for a total of 4,497,000 stock options. This stock option plan excludes members of the Cueto group, the LATAM Controlling Shareholders, that serve as senior management of the Company. The Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of 1,500,000 shares at the Special Shareholders Meeting held June 11, 2013, among other matters. Those shares will be allocated to compensation plans for the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “2013 Compensation Plan”).

The general features of the 2013 Compensation Plan are:

1. The options allocated to each employee shall be exercisable entirely on November 15, 2017, provided the employee continues to work for the Company.

2. Employees may exercise such options, after they become exercisable on the aforesaid date, either all at once or in parts. They must subscribe and pay for those shares at once, at the time of subscription, in cash, by check, by bank check, by money transfer or by any other instrument or medium representing cash payable on demand. Partial option exercises cannot be for less than 10% of all options granted to the Employee.

3. The period in which employees must exercise options after they become exercisable, as explained in number 3) above, expires June 11, 2018. If employees have not exercised or waived options in that period, they shall be deemed to have waived the options for all purposes and, accordingly, all rights, powers, promises or offers in relation to the subscription of cash shares in the company shall be deemed extinguished, the employee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived all rights or powers in relation thereto, and the company shall be released from any obligation.

4. The price payable per share allocated to the 2013 Compensation Plan is US$16.40, if the respective options are exercised, adjusted by the change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) published monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor, starting the first day of the preemptive option period to the date of subscription and payment of the shares. The subscription price will be paid in Chilean pesos, converted using the Observed Dollar exchange rate published in the Official Gazette on the same date as subscription and payment of shares.

No options have been granted under the 2013 Compensation Plan.

Training

Some of our employees, such as the flight operations, maintenance and customer ground operations personnel undergo training when they join the Company and throughout their employment with us. We maintain an agreement with CAE (a Canadian firm specializing in flight simulators and training centers) to develop a pilot training center in Santiago de Chile and Sao Paulo. This training center includes Airbus and Boeing Full Flight simulators plus MFTD simulator. Our pilot staff also receives simulator training at sites in the United States.

Our pilots are rated for only one aircraft type by local aeronautical authorities, and they are not cross-qualified between two or more aircraft types. Regulations require pilots to be licensed as commercial pilots for a first officer position and as an airline transport pilot for a captain position, with specific type, function and special ratings for each aircraft to be flown, and to be medically certified as physically fit. Licenses and medical certifications are subject to periodic reevaluation, including flight simulator recurrent training, ground recurrent training, annual emergency procedures training, safety and security training and recent flying experience. Our pilots receive a variety of training, such as lectures, simulations and gaming and computer based training. Cabin crew must have initial and periodic competency fitness training.

Aircraft mechanics and maintenance supervisory personnel must be licensed by the DGAC and other corresponding authorities in other countries in which we operate. We train our technicians (Mechanics, Specialists, Inspectors and Maintenance Supervisors) in all programs required by both local authority (DGAC) and international authorities and aviation associations, such as the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”), IATA rules and regulations, those required by aircraft manufacturers and the training needs that we identify during our annual reviews. The program of study contains initial and continuing training. Initial training is level III ATA SPEC 104 and lasts forty to fifty days depending on the aircraft types and continuing training lasts up to five to six days.

During 2013, we continued training sales and administrative personnel in areas such as service and sales quality. We also continued delivering learning programs to develop leadership skills and others with different methodologies including e-learning.

Labor Relations

We believe we generally maintain good relations with our employees and the unions, and expect to continue to enjoy good relations with our employees and the unions in the future. We also believe that we have built a solid base among our employees that will support and facilitate our growth plans. We can provide no assurance, however, that our employee compensation arrangements may not be subject to change or modification after the expiration of the contracts currently in effect, or that we will not be subject to labor-related disruptions due to strikes, stoppages or walk-outs.

Chile

We have negotiated longer-term labor contracts with the labor unions in anticipation of their scheduled expirations, which under Chilean law are limited to a period of four years. In general, the expiration of our labor agreements with the several unions that represent our pilots and other personnel are staggered in a way that we avoid being in the position of having to renegotiate contract terms with substantially all of our pilots or other personnel at the same time.

During 2013, we renegotiated our collective bargaining agreements with our pilots’ union, which will be effective until 2016. Non-unionized pilots have the same benefits as unionized pilots, through a direct extension of the union’s renegotiated agreement. We also negotiated agreements with pilots working for our subsidiaries, LAN Express and LAN Cargo, which agreements will also be in effect until 2016.

We have also entered into or renegotiated collective bargaining agreements with many of our other employees in Chile during 2012, including general airport, maintenance and supply staff of LATAM; administrative staff of LAN Express; and administration staff of LAN Cargo. Each of these agreements is effective for a four-year term, until 2016.

Ecuador

In Ecuador, two employee associations were formed (mechanical and airport/administration) in 2012. These employee associations maintain relations with the Company, but do not have the right to enter into or negotiate collective bargaining agreements under Ecuador law.

Also in Andes, a union of ground handling employees has been formed and was legally constituted in 2013. As of today there is no process of negotiations or bargainings agreements with this union.

Argentina

In Argentina, the majority of LAN Argentina’s employees belong to industry-wide unions. In December 2013, salary agreements were finalized with the five unions in LAN Argentina. These negotiations are held annually.

Peru

LAN Peru is currently negotiating with its cabin crew and maintenance unions, and it expects to complete these negotiations and finalize a collective bargaining agreement with each union during the second or third quarter of 2014.

Brazil

Under Brazilian law, the validity of collective bargaining agreements is limited to two years. TAM’s collective bargaining agreements are valid for one year (for economic clauses) and for two years (for social clauses). TAM has historically negotiated collective bargaining agreements with nine unions in Brazil: one flight crew union, which represents the functions of flying workers (pilots, copilots and flight attendants), and eight ground staff unions, which represent TAM employees who perform their duties on the ground in support of TAM’s operations. In December 2013, TAM renegotiated collective bargaining agreements with five unions, which included a wage increase of 7% for ground workers (ground handling) earning minimum wage, and an increase of 5.6% for other salaried ground workers and flying workers (compared with an inflation rate for the period of 5.6%). Ground staff workers who earn salaries of up to R$10,000 received an increase of 5.6%. Employees who earn more than R$10,000 received an increase of R$560.0. Negotiations with the other four unions are ongoing. However, the Company granted all employees the same rights accorded the five unions that signed collective bargaining agreements. Although 92% of wage negotiations in Brazil have resulted in real wage increase greater than inflation, we believe that the wage increases granted to our employees has been positive for the Company, since the majority of employee wage increases were within the rate of inflation. During these negotiations there were no strikes or labor stoppages.

The control group shareholders agreement provides certain exceptions to these restrictions on transfer for certain pledges of LANLATAM Airlines Group common shares made by the parties and for transfers to affiliates, in each case under certain limited circumstances.

In addition, TEP Chile agreed in the Holdco I shareholders agreement not to vote its voting shares of Holdco I, or to take any other action, in support of any transfer by Holdco I of any equity securities or convertible securities issued by it or by any of TAM or its subsidiaries without our prior written consent.

Restriction on transfer of TAM shares

We agreed in the Holdco I shareholders agreement not to sell or transfer any shares of TAM stock to any person (other than our affiliates) at any time when TEP Chile owns any voting shares of Holdco I. However, we will have the right to effect such a sale or transfer if, at the same time as such sale or transfer, we (or our assignee) acquires all the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by TEP Chile for an amount equal to TEP Chile’s then current tax basis in such shares and any costs TEP Chile is required to incur to effect such sale or transfer. TEP Chile has irrevocably granted us the assignable right to purchase all of the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by TEP Chile in connection with any such sale.

Conversion OptionMaintain Excellent Customer Satisfaction

PursuantIn both our passenger and cargo businesses, we focus on delivering high quality services that are valued by our customers. In our passenger businesses we strive to achieve high on-time performance, world-class on-board service on long-haul flights, attractive and convenient pricing, quick check-in for short-haul flights, and the comfort afforded by a modern fleet. During the first half of 2009 LAN completed the reconfiguration of the cabins of all its long-haul aircraft, including both the Boeing 767 and the Airbus A340 passenger aircraft, in order to incorporate our new Premium Business Class including full-flat seats, as well as improvements in economy class which include a state-of-the-art on-board entertainment system. This high quality standard is shared by TAM, which currently offers first and business class in all its long haul flights as well as in some regional routes. Our frequent flyer programs, LANPASS and TAM Fidelidade, provide travel benefits and rewards to more than 8.5 million loyal customers in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia as well to more than 12.2 million members in Brazil. In the cargo business, we focus on providing reliable service, taking advantage of our ability to handle different types of cargo as well as significant cargo volumes, and leveraging our facilities in key gateways, such as Miami, to ensure optimal handling of our customers’ needs. We continually assess opportunities to incorporate service improvements in order to respond effectively to our customers’ needs.

Focus on Efficiency and Sustainability

We are increasingly focused on improving efficiency through a series of fleet initiatives that seek to reduce fuel consumption. The most significant is our ongoing fleet renewal and growth plan, through which we expect to incorporate 157 new aircraft between 2014 and 2019, which we expect will contribute to lower costs per ASK. As an example, we estimate that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner operates with costs per ASK that are approximately 12% lower than other long haul passenger aircraft, the new Boeing 777 freighter operates with costs per ATK that are approximately 17% lower than the Boeing 767 freighter, and the Airbus A350 will operate with costs per ASK that are approximately 25% lower than the Airbus A330. In addition, we completed the installation of winglets on all of LAN’s existing Boeing 767 aircraft, achieving average fuel efficiencies of approximately 5% per aircraft per year since implementation. We are also in the process of installing sharklets (a type of winglet) in our Airbus A320 Family fleet, which we expect to result in further fuel efficiencies in this fleet.

In order to mitigate the environmental impact of our operations we seek to operate in a sustainable manner by reducing our fuel consumption and related emissions. We also continue to focus on adjusting the configuration of our aircraft to market demand by, for example, adjusting the configuration of certain Boeing 767s by reducing the number of Premium Business seats and increasing the number of Economy class seats.

During 2012, LAN also replaced its passenger service system, containing the reservation, inventory and departure control systems of the airline, with a new system provided by Sabre. The conversion process involved moving from two suppliers (Amadeus and Resiber), whose systems were previously required to cover the complete role of the passenger service system, to a single supplier (Sabre), and is expected to result in substantial savings over the coming years. For the near future, we are contemplating the migration of TAM’s reservation system to Sabre in order to achieve the synergies of having a unified passenger service system.

International Passenger Operations

Our international network combines our Chilean, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Argentinean, Colombian and Brazilian subsidiaries. We have operated international services out of Chile since 1946. Over time we have greatly expanded our international services, offering flights out of Peru with the creation of LAN Peru in 1999, out of Ecuador through the creation of LAN Ecuador in 2003, and out of Argentina with LAN Argentina in August 2006, which until then had only been offering domestic flights, and out of Colombia in 2010 through LAN Colombia, following the acquisition of Aires. Most recently, our international services grew significantly with the business combination between LAN and TAM in June of 2012. As of January 31, 2014, we now offer 24 international destinations.

Our strategy to generally expand our international network is aimed at enhancing our value proposition by offering customers more destinations and routing alternatives, maximizing aircraft utilization, increasing load factors, leveraging complementary seasonal patterns, and optimizing our commercial efforts. Our sustained development of our international network has been a crucial factor in our long-term growth. We provide long-haul services out of our seven main hubs in Santiago, Lima, Guayaquil, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. We also provide regional services from Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil. Since 2004, we have continued to consolidate our hub in Lima, which serves as the center of our Latin American network and also complements our intercontinental network, by opening new routes and increasing flights on existing routes out of Lima. After LAN and TAM’s combination in 2012, we have been also focused in building a new regional hub at Sao Paulo, Guarulhos airport, which we see is becoming one of the most important gateways into South America and where we have seen an increase in international traffic in the last years. In regard to this new hub, ongoing infrastructure investments plus the recent approval from Brazilian authorities to reallocate our airport slots at Guarulhos are facilitating the construction of this hub for LATAM Airlines.

In line with our long-standing commitment to provide customers with superior service and the best products on the market, in May 2009 we completed the retrofit of all of our long-haul fleet (including our Boeing 767 and Airbus A340 passenger aircraft) with the new Premium Business class and improved Economy class. Combining the best features of the traditional First and Business classes, the new Premium Business includes 180 degrees recline full-flat seats which allow passengers to sleep with the maximum comfort and privacy. Premium Business also includes top-level personalized in-flight service. Changes in Economy class include new seats with a greater recline angle, a cushion that slides forward for increased comfort and convenience, and larger individual video monitors for each seat.

During 2013, LATAM received two additional Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, ending the year with five aircraft of this model, out of an order of 32. The configuration of the cabin on the Boeing 787-8 aircraft includes 217 economy class seats and 30 seats for Premium Business class. One of the new features offered in the new Premium Business class cabin is a 100% horizontal full flat seat with the same dimensions of our current seat that includes foot support, a memory system that records the seat position chosen by the user and lumbar massage, and our new Economy class features reclining ergonomic seats. The incorporation of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners into our fleet will allow us to achieve important savings on fuel consumption and the sustainable expansion of our fleet (as the Dreamliner produces up to 20% less CO2 than similar aircraft), while incorporating modern technology to deliver the best travel experience for our passengers. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Operations and the Airline Industry—We have invested in new Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” aircraft.”

As part of its mission, LATAM seeks to promote tourism to South America. Due to its large network of services, visitors from around the world can experience world renowned destinations such as Cusco, Easter Island, the Galapagos Islands, Iguazu Falls in Brazil, or Patagonia in Chile and Argentina, including the cities of Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, El Calafate and Bariloche.

Domestic Passenger Operations

LATAM provides domestic passenger services within Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia, through LAN, LAN Express and regional subsidiaries, including LAN Peru, LAN Ecuador, LAN Argentina and LAN Colombia, and, in Brazil, through TAM Linhas Aereas.

Business Model for Domestic Operations

In 2007, we initiated a new business model to redesign our domestic business operations with the goal of developing the industry and increasing efficiency of LAN’s short-haul operations, specifically with respect to the domestic operations in Chile and Peru. A key element of this business model has been to significantly increase the utilization of our narrow body fleet, which we have been successfully achieving through modified itineraries including more point-to-point and overnight flights. We removed the Boeing 737-200 aircraft from our fleet in favor of the new more efficient Airbus A320-Family Aircraft. The Airbus A320-Family Aircraft fleet utilization reached approximately 9.4 block hours per day in 2012. The transition to a newer fleet allows for lower unscheduled maintenance costs as well as cost efficiencies achieved through operating fewer fleet types and operational efficiencies, including lower fuel consumption.

Another key element of this business model is the reduction in sales and distribution costs through higher internet penetration and reduced agency commissions, a faster turnaround time and increased self-check-in service through web check-in and kiosks at airports. These initiatives, together with simplifications in back-office and support functions, will continue to allow us to expand operations while controlling fixed costs, spurring a reduction in overhead costs. We have begun to pass on these operating efficiencies to consumers through significant fare reductions, which have a strong effect in stimulating new demand. In 2007, we implemented all aspects of this new business model in the Chilean and Peruvian domestic markets, and began to implement the business model in Argentina that same year. In 2009 we began to implement this business model in Ecuador as well.

As a result of the implementation of this business model, the number of passengers transported has increased:

280% (from 2.5 million to 9.5 million) in Chile, from 2006 to 2013,

388% (from 1.7 million to 8.3 million) in Peru, from 2006 to 2013,

283% (from 0.6 million to 2.3 million) in Argentina, from 2006 to 2013, and

21% (from 3.3 million to 4.0 million) in Ecuador, from 2009 to 2013.

We plan to continue with the implementation of this business model during 2014 in Colombia and Brazil and we have started its implementation in some regional routes, as we look for ways to increase operational efficiency, encourage direct sales and self check-in, and implement new sales strategies aimed at stimulating demand.

Operations within Chile

Through LAN and LAN Express, we are the leading domestic passenger airline in Chile. We have operated domestic flights in Chile since the Company’s creation in 1929. During 2013, we flew to 16 destinations within Chile (including Santiago, but not including Easter Island, which we consider an international destination even though it is a part of Chile, because we serve it with long-haul aircraft) as well as some seasonal destinations. LAN and LAN Express have integrated passenger operations, including operations under the same two-letter “designator reservation code,” and have coordinated fare structures, scheduling and other commercial matters in order to maximize cooperative benefits and revenues for the two carriers. Our strategy is based on providing frequent service to Chile’s main destinations, offering a reliable and high quality service, and leveraging our strong brand position in Chile and abroad. We evaluate our network of domestic routes on an ongoing basis in order to achieve optimal operational efficiency and profitability. Our strategic objective is to maintain our leadership position in our domestic routes.

During 2013 we operated an average fleet of 22 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in the Chilean domestic market, and we plan to operate an average fleet of 26 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in 2013. Domestic operations in Chile have been positively affected by the greater utilization of the latest-generation Airbus fleet and the Holdco I shareholdersretirement of the Airbus A318-100s. Currently, LATAM’s domestic fleet in Chile has an average age of 2 years.

According to JAC data, the Chilean domestic market as a whole transported approximately 9.5 million passengers in 2013, an increase of 13.7% from 8.3 million passengers transported in 2012. Our domestic passenger market share in Chile was 76.8% in 2013 as measured in revenue passenger kilometer (RPK). During 2013, our main competitors in the domestic market were Sky Airlines and PAL Airlines with domestic passenger market shares as measured in RPKs of 19.4% and 3.0% respectively.

There are currently no foreign airlines participating in the Chilean domestic market. Chile permits foreign airlines to operate in Chile. Additionally, there are no regulatory barriers that prevent a foreign airline from creating a Chilean subsidiary and entering the Chilean domestic market using that subsidiary.

Operations within Peru

LAN Peru started operations in 1999 with both domestic and international flights from Lima. During the last ten years LAN Peru has expanded consistently, consolidating its domestic operations and coverage of the relevant markets with a continuous focus on improving our excellence for service. Self-check-in levels have grown steadily in recent years, reaching 80% for domestic routes in 2013.

Peru has tremendous potential, compared to other Latin American markets, based on per capita travel ratios. In 2013, the domestic market in Peru reached 8.3 million passengers, an increase of 14.8% from 7.2 million passengers transported in 2012. During 2013, LAN Peru increased daily frequencies in some flights from Lima to destinations such as Piura, Chiclayo and Iquitos; added some new direct flights between Cusco and Arequipa and Puerto Maldonado; and added new nightly flights to Cusco, the country’s most important tourist destination, being the only airline providing this flight schedule. LAN Peru flies at least three times daily to each of its 14 destinations except Tumbes, Pucallpa, Puerto Maldonado and Tacna (2 or 3 flights daily).

LAN Peru began 2013 with a fleet of 14 Airbus A319 Aircraft. During the year, one of the Airbus A319 aircraft was phased out of the fleet and 3 Airbus A320 aircraft were incorporated, one of them including sharklets. With this, LAN Peru has one of the most modern fleets in Latin America, which is ideal for the characteristics of Peruvian routes, as it maximizes available payload in high-altitude airports. In terms of efficiency, a uniform A320 family fleet also allows for low maintenance costs, high crew productivity and operational flexibility. Fleet utilization slightly decreased from 10.6 flight hours per operating day in 2012 to 10.3 flight hours per operating day in 2013.

In 2013, a total of 5.3 million passengers traveled on LAN Peru’s domestic routes, which represented an increase of 17.1% compared to 2012. According to data provided by the Peruvian DGAC, our domestic market share was 63.4% in 2013, compared to 62.2% in 2012, as measured in number of passengers. Our main competitors in Peru include Peruvian Airlines, Star Peru LC Peru and Avianca

Operations within Argentina

Since 2005, LAN Argentina has increased its domestic destinations to a total of 14 Argentine cities, and now serves Bahia Blanca, Bariloche, Buenos Aires, Calafate, Comodoro Rivadavia, Cordoba, Iguazu, Mendoza, Neuquen, Rio Gallegos, Salta, San Juan, Tucuman and Ushuaia.

Since the end of 2006, LAN Argentina has operated Airbus A320 aircraft in both domestic and regional operations. LAN Argentina currently operates a fleet of 10 Airbus A320 aircraft in our domestic operations.

In the domestic Argentine market, LAN Argentina operates in a regulated environment in which fares sold to Argentine passengers are subject to minimum and maximum prices that vary per route. In August 2006, by presidential decree, both the floor and ceiling of the regulated price range were increased by 20%. The decree also liberalized foreign ownership of Argentinean airlines, previously capped at 49%. Since this decree, the floor and ceiling of the regulated price range have been consistently increased on an annual or semi-annual basis, by a range of 8-18%. In 2013, the ceiling and floor increased in the same proportion, both increasing by 9% in May 2013, and by 12% in December 2013.

Based on internal estimates as of December 31, 2013, our domestic market share in Argentina in terms of passengers transported was approximately 29%. During this period of time LAN Argentina transported 2.3 million passengers, a slight decrease 4% compared to 2012. The competitors in the Argentinean market during 2013 were Aerolíneas Argentinas and its affiliate Austral LíneasAéreas. Together, these two companies comprise the substantial majority of the remaining domestic Argentine market share, although a small portion of the domestic market share is serviced through Sol and Andes.

Operations within Ecuador

At the end of 2008, the Civil Aviation National Board authorized LAN Ecuador to operate domestic flights in Ecuador and in April 2009, LAN Ecuador initiated service between Quito and Guayaquil. In the past three years, LAN Ecuador has greatly expanded the number of destinations and frequency of flights in Ecuador. As of the end of 2013, LAN Ecuador operated 67 weekly flights between Quito and Guayaquil, 7 weekly flights to the Baltra, 2 weekly flights to San Cristobal and 15 weekly flights between Cuenca and Quito.

In 2013, LAN Ecuador transported 1.3 million passengers in the domestic passenger market, achieving a load factor of 78.5% and representing an increase of 20% in number of passengers serviced over 2012. LAN Ecuador had a domestic market share of 31.76% in 2012, representing a significant increase over its 2012 market share, according to internal estimates.

In Ecuador, the company’s principal competitors are TAME, Aerogal and Icaro.

Operations within Colombia

Following the acquisition of Aires in 2010, LAN Colombia has successfully restructured the Company’s previous operations in order to achieve LATAM’s standards in terms of security, punctuality, efficiency and service quality. In 2012 LAN Colombia started to implement its “low cost” model, already operating in the other affiliates domestic markets of Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador, and to stimulate demand on domestic flights by providing more Colombian citizens the opportunity to use air transportation. With this strategy and new marketing plans aiming to increase brand awareness, LAN Colombia was able to stimulate demand, achieving fare reductions of approximately 35% by introducing new segmentation parameters prior to departure, depending on the market.

LAN Colombia continued to expand its routes inside Colombia in 2013, using a network of 20 domestic destinations to transport more than 4.2 million passengers during the year, an increase of 15% as compared to passengers transported in 2012. As of December 31, 2013, LAN Colombia had 17% of Colombian market share, second after Avianca. Other competitors in the domestic market are Copa, Viva Colombia, EasyFly and Satena.

During 2013, LAN Colombia continued to advance in its fleet renewal plan, a process which began in 2012, LAN Colombia intends during 2014 to phase out the remaining Boeing B737 aircraft and Bombardier Dash aircraft inherited from Aires and replace them with more modern and efficient aircraft from the Airbus A320 family. All these actions aim to further reduce our operating expenses and become the most efficient carrier in Colombia. As of December 2013, LAN Colombia serviced its domestic destinations with 7 Airbus A320 aircraft, 4 Boeing B737 aircraft and 8 Dash-200 aircraft.

In regard to service, during 2013 the Company launched a new VIP lounge in the El Dorado Airport in Bogotá, which has the best standards in terms of comfort and gastronomy and has become an asset in building loyalty in our clients. This lounge classified as one of the 10 best VIP lounges in the world, according to a specialized design magazine.

In August 2013, LAN Colombia and American Airlines started to market their codeshare agreement, allowing LAN Colombia to offer its clients 12 destinations in the United States, while American Airlines may now offer 4 additional destinations in Colombia. In October 2013, LAN Colombia enteredoneworld® alliance.

The domestic Colombian industry transported 21.5 million passengers during 2013, a 14.1% increase over 2012. LAN Colombia has maintained its position as the second largest operator in Colombia’s domestic market with approximately 18.3% of the market share as measured in RPKs as of December 31, 2013. A total of 4.0 million passengers traveled on LAN Colombia domestic routes in 2013, which represented an increase of 12.2% compared to 2012 domestic passenger activity. LAN Colombia’s main competitor, Avianca, carried almost 12.6 million passengers in 2013 and had a market share as measured in RPKs of approximately 57.7% in 2013. VivaColombia, a low cost carrier that started operations within Colombia in June 2012, transported more than 1.8 million passengers for the 2013 year, reaching a 8.8% market share as measured in RPKs.

As we look ahead to 2014, LAN Colombia will continue to market the LAN brand in the domestic Colombian market, maintain excellence in service, leadership in punctuality and corporate segment penetration.

Operations within Brazil

TAM Linhas Aereas, is the leading domestic passenger airline in Brazil, and has operated domestic flights in Brazil since the company’s creation in 1961. As of January 31, 2014 TAM Linhas Aereas has flights to 40 destinations (42 airports) within Brazil as well as some seasonal destinations. The strategy is based on providing strong connectivity through a network based on the main Brazilian cities, offering a reliable and high quality service, and leveraging our strong brand position in Brazil and abroad. TAM Linhas Aereas evaluates our network of domestic routes on an ongoing basis in order to achieve optimal operational efficiency and profitability.

The domestic market in Brazil has historically suffered from overcapacity, which resulted in very low load factors compared to industry standards, which has negatively impacted the financial results of domestic airlines in recent years. However, this trend began to change during 2012 and has significantly improved during 2013, as major airlines have reduced domestic capacity, and the capacity discipline is expected to continue during 2014. LATAM has continue to make significant progress in the turnaround of the domestic Brazil passenger operation, improving profitability by increasing load factor through the rationalization of capacity and improved revenue management through better segmentation of the market. During 2013, TAM reduced its capacity by 8.4% as measured in ASKs, leading to an increase of 6.1 percentage points in load factors on a year-over-year basis, despite the 0.8% decrease in traffic measured as RPKs. As of January 31, 2014, we operate an average fleet of 120 aircraft in the Brazilian domestic market. During 2014, we expect to maintain our capacity flat in order to continue improving the profitability of our domestic passenger operations in Brazil. TAM utilized the greater efficiency of the Airbus A320-Family aircraft on short-haul flights in order to gain operational efficiencies, such as more efficient fuel consumption.

According to ANAC, the Brazilian domestic market as a whole transported approximately 90.0 million passengers in 2013, an increase of 1.4% as compared to 89.0 million in 2012. TAM Linhas Aereas domestic passenger market share in Brazil as of the end of the year was 39.9% as measured in RPKs. During 2013, TAM’s main competitors in the domestic market were GOL, the merged airlines Trip and Azul, and Avianca Brazil. GOL (including Webjet) ended 2013 with a domestic passenger market share of 35.4% while Trip-Azul and Avianca Brazil had market shares of 13.2% and 7.2% respectively.

Under this alliance, we code-share in flights to Mexico from Chile and Peru, as well as to 18 domestic destinations in Mexico. Additionally, our code-sharing agreement provides our passengers with benefits such as easier connections and reciprocal accrual and redemption of frequent flyer program rewards. In May 2012, TAM also implemented a code-share agreement with Aeromexico between Sao Paulo and Mexico City. This code-share agreement also includes 9 destinations in Brazil, and 9 destinations in México.

All Nippon Airways. In October 2010, TAM initiated a code-share agreement with All Nippon Airways to operate between Sao Paulo and Narita, through connections in London. FromMarch 30, 2014, All Nippon Airways switches its operation to Haneda Airport, giving our passengers access to the preferred airport in Tokyo

Reciprocal accrual and redemption of frequent flyer program rewards is also available for LAN customers flying on Alaska Airlines flights and vice versa.

Passenger Marketing and Sales

Following the business combination, LATAM will continue to operate under two brands, LAN and TAM.

LAN’s Passenger Marketing and Sales

Within the “LAN” brand, we differentiate our marketing strategies between our international (long-haul) and domestic (short-haul) services.

Our long-haul marketing strategy emphasizes attributes valued by our international customers: a reliable, high-quality service centered on entertainment and comfort for long travel. We also highlight our extensive network covering the most important South American destinations and frequent service to major overseas gateways such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Madrid and Sydney. In a continuing effort to fulfill this promise, we continuously improve our cabins and review our service protocols. Our Business Cabin features a premium on-board service aimed to provide our customers with more time to rest. As for our Economy Cabin, our upgraded entertainment units make their flight a more enjoyable one. In May 2009 we completed a retrofit program for our Boeing 767-300 and for our Airbus A340-300 fleet respectively, to upgrade and improve our long-haul fleet. See “—International Passenger Operations” for a description of recent improvements to our international fleet.

In October 2010, LAN decided to renew the configuration of its B767-300s which included an increased capacity for each airplane from 221 to 238 seats. The original configuration had 191 seats in the Economy cabin and 30 seats in Premium Business cabin, the new Economy seat configuration increases to 220 and decreases the amount of Premium Business seats to 18. This configuration will be used in those markets with a higher demand of tourism and / or low corporate travel.

Our current fleet average age is 6.9 years and it’s been decreasing since the arrival of 5 of the 32 new Boeing 787 aircraft we ordered. LAN was the first airline in the Americas, and fourth in the world, to receive this model with the latest-generation technology that was an innovation breaking point for the airline industry. Passengers can immediately experience the 787’s advantages: higher cabin humidity and increased comfort. The 787 airplanes will allow us to reach new destinations and boost LAN’s existing services while increasing the efficiency of our operations and reduce our carbon footprint. See “—International Passenger Operations” for a description of recent improvements to our international fleet.

Our short-haul operations are designed to fit our customers’ need in these routes: punctuality, reliability, more frequencies, modern aircrafts and efficient operations. To deliver this value proposition, we have been increasing our fleet and frequencies with more point-to-point flights, improved punctuality and streamlined processes including Internet sales, web and mobile check-in and airport self-check-in. As such, these routes now feature modern planes, increased frequencies with more point-to-point flights, improved punctuality and streamlined processes including Internet sales, web check-in and airport self-check-in. All of the unilateral rightdomestic operations (Chile, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia) have the same business model which seeks to convertmake air travel accessible to more people through low fares supported by a low-cost operation based on the efficient use of our resources. See “—Domestic Passenger Operations” for a description of recent initiatives to improve our domestic fleet, including the introduction of modern Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in most of our domestic operations.

We are constantly focused on delivering the services and flight items valued by customers in order to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and we continuously monitor our customers’ preferences through surveys and perception studies. In response to comments received from our business travelers, in November 2007 we created the new Premium Economy class on some regional routes. The Premium Economy program grants our customers preferential check-in and boarding, access to our VIP lounges, priority baggage claim, exclusive cabins with only twelve passengers, and personalized attention by our cabin attendants, among other benefits.

Our short-haul fleet is also growing and renewed with the more Airbus 320 and 321 coming during the next years. These aircrafts have the latest security standards in the industry, improvements in the interior cabin design and new seat technology. They are 13 percent lighter than the aircraft they will replace, resulting in lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. They also are more comfortable for passengers since they have leather upholstery and more in-flight entertainment screens. In addition, the upper bins have mirrors that ensure visibility of carry-on luggage among other improvements of interior design.

Our main concern is to deliver our promise to our customers. Therefore, we constantly monitor our customer satisfaction with in-flight surveys and research, and measure our performance against the highest standard levels. This commitment to excellence has paid off with several prizes and recognitions given by customers and industry experts such as Skytrax’s “2013 Best Airline in South America”, Business Traveler’s “2013 Best Business Class” and Premier Traveler USA’s “2013 Best Airline to South America”.

Branding

The “LAN” brand was launched in 2004 and brings together, under one strong international name, all of the affiliate brands such as “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” “LAN Colombia” and “LAN Ecuador.” We developed the LAN brand and corporate image after an extensive process supported by a leading global branding agency.

Our corporate image is based on two core concepts: reliability and warmth, which support our promise of the best travel experience to, from and within South America. We are also committed to offer our customers the best coverage to, from and within South America, and to promote sustainable tourism, helping develop the regions where we operate. And by best, we mean providing our customers with an excellent connection network and service; being transparent and accessible; and promote sustainable tourism in the countries where we do business. Our commercial strategy, centered on exploiting the LAN alliance concept, has been widely recognized, as exemplified by Airline Business magazine’s recognition of us in 2004 with its “Airline Strategy Award, Marketing.”

Using a single brand enabled our customers to better understand the common service and operating standards among our airlines, and our new image improved our visibility, which enhanced flexibility and increased the efficiency of our marketing efforts. It also provided a platform for the strategic use in mature markets of the following three powerful sub-brands, all connected to the LAN root:

LAN.com for the convenience of our web booking engine and services platform (not incorporated by reference herein);

LANPASS for our frequent flyer program; and

LANTOURS, a sub-brand through which we offer travel packages, hotels and other ancillary products, as well as promote tourism activities to and from the regions in which we operate. LANTOURS was first introduced in Chile and is gradually being introduced into other key markets.

Our regular brand tracking and marketing effectiveness measurements show outstanding results in brand consistency and recognition, improving year after year, with marketing investments managed at healthy and stable rates. As the corporate values behind our umbrella brand encompass attributes applicable to both operations, long-haul and short-haul, a single brand strategy has resulted in significant savings, as we only have to promote one master brand, thereby increasing the efficiency of our marketing efforts. We also closely monitor our corporate image to ensure our brand is always shown at its best.

Distribution Channels

We use direct and indirect distribution channels. In the past few years, we have focused on streamlining our distribution strategy in order to reduce costs and enhance the effectiveness of our commercial efforts. This effort has resulted in efficiency gains, and we believe it should lead to further benefits in the future.

Travel agents conduct indirect sales accounting for approximately 49.8% of passengers during 2012 and 47% in 2013. Our goal is to minimize indirect sales because of higher costs when compared to direct sales. So we are continuously introducing new projects in order to minimize the percentage of total sales that are indirect sales. We paid these travel agents standard commissions ranging from 0% to 9.3% depending on the market and the ticket region type (domestic / international). Consistent with our efforts to reduce commission costs and in line with current market practices, in recent years we have reduced standard commissions in several markets.

Travel agents obtain airline travel information and issue airline tickets through Global Distribution Systems, or GDSs, this enables them to make reservations on flights from a large number of airlines. We participate actively in all major international GDSs, including Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo and Worldspan. In return for access to these systems, we pay transaction fees that are generally based on the number of reservations booked through each system. As part of its continued commitment to its passengers, in late 2009, LAN signed a series of agreements with Sabre, one of the major suppliers of IT solutions in the global airline industry. Through these agreements, Sabre provides the Company with the most advanced technology in reservation and distribution systems, optimization of routes and operational planning. LATAM recently completed the process of implementing the new system platforms in August of 2012. This new systems platform represents a major step in terms of innovation by implementing the industry’s most advanced technology to streamline business and operational processes, and enabled us to provide itineraries that best fit the needs of passengers and to provide simpler, agile and efficient services in airports and in the sales and distribution channels, improving LAN’s services in each of the stages of the travel experience.

Direct channels refer to sales by our own ticket offices, contact-centers and website. In 2013, direct bookings accounted for approximately 65% of all our passengers.

We have an extensive sales and marketing network in over thirty countries consisting of more than 200 domestic and international points-of-sale owned by us and approximately 45 general sales agents. We charge a fee to customers for sales completed through our own ticket offices or call centers in most countries, leaving the Internet as the only free-of-charge distribution channel.

Our contact-centers support the growth of our operations constituting a sales and a multi-service channel. During 2011, we continued to grow and develop new services to match the increasing expectations of our clients and the growth of our direct sales channels, in particular the www.lan.com website. Our main contact-center located in Santiago accounts for 749 agents (of which 246 are home-based) and 212 agents in Lima. We complement our contact-center’s operations with third-party service providers that add approximately 1050 agents who are located in Santiago, Lima and Buenos Aires. In total, all the centers handle more than 37,500 calls/contacts per day, which mainly originate from the regions where we fly (South America, North America, Europe and Australasia) and cover five languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and German). We have continually upgraded our systems by incorporating technological advances to enhance efficiency and customer service.

Our website, www.lan.com (not incorporated by reference herein), is an integral part of our commercial, marketing and service efforts. Together with other direct sales initiatives, our website provides us with an important tool to reduce our distribution costs. Our Internet-related sales have increased significantly in recent years, by 22% in 2010, 22.6% in 2011, 42% in 2012, and 64% in 2013, which amounted to a total of US$1.289 million internet-related sales in 2013. We are continually improving our website, a key element of our new short-haul model, so that the technological platform can support expected future growth.

Besides serving as a sales channel, we have utilized our website as a tool to provide value-added services and enhance communications. We send weekly promotional e-mails to more than 7.9 million subscribers. Members of our frequent flyer program receive their monthly balances and other information by e-mail and can access the data and redeem awards through our website. We have an active online marketing program which brings visitors to the website from search engines and travel-related websites.

During 2009 we improved several services on the website. We introduced the flexible award redemption service, which enables LANPASS members to obtain flights with their kilometers at any time of year. We also updated our Flight Information System to ensure accurate, real time information. In addition, we continued to promote our web-based check-in service for domestic and international flights. This system allows those passengers who are not checking-in bags, to go directly to the gate, and the remaining checked-in passengers, to leave their bags at a special bag drop counter and proceed to the gate. In addition to web-based check-in, we have 283 self-check kiosks. We have 95 in Chile, 20 in Peru, 36 in Argentina, 29 in Ecuador, 10 in Venezuela, 2 in Uruguay, 46 in Brazil, 13 in Germany and 32 in Colombia. As of December 31, 2013, the kiosk and web check-in utilization rate was of 80% for domestic routes in Chile, 74% for domestic routes in Peru, 56% for domestic routes in Argentina, 56% for domestic routes in Ecuador and 51% in Colombia. We are planning to implement six kiosks at Miami and one at Easter Island. Also in 2010 we launched our LAN.com Mobile service, enabling our customers to check-in, verify their flight status and other itineraries using their internet-enabled mobile phones.

In 2010 LAN was recognized as the “Latin American e-commerce Company of the Year” by the Latin American e-Commerce Institute and in 2012 LAN was awarded with the “Best of the Web” price by the American company Compuware. Also, in 2013 LAN.com received “Electronic Commerce Leader in Tourism” by the e-Commerce Awards for Chile and Ecuador.

Electronic Ticketing

Since 2008, the Company has issued all tickets as reached a 100% penetration of e-tickets on all LAN routes and, during 2010 we completed the implementation of interline e-ticketing with all of ouroneworld® partners. By the end of 2013, we introduced electronic boarding passes accessible on smartphones. This electronic boarding pass is read by a laser pistol using a QR (quick response) code. It has been working on some routes at South America, and we hope to have 100% availibility of this feature during 2014.

Advertising and Promotional Activities

Our advertisement and promotional efforts are aimed at enhancing our brand positioning and supporting specific aspects of our commercial efforts. These activities include the use of television, print, outdoors and radio advertisements as well as direct and online marketing. We also have a growing social media presence.

During 2013, our advertising campaigns were mainly focused on continuing stimulating demand by implementing a pricing strategy that has made flying more accessible in the domestic markets and within South America to those traveling especially for tourism. We are proud of our partnerships with tour operators and tourism government agencies across the region (SERNATUR and “Chile es Tuyo” in Chile, PROMPERU in Peru, ProExport Colombia among others) which allowed us to reach new customers and to promote local and regional tourism in the markets where we operate. This is supported by the unique coverage and travel experience that we offer to those passengers traveling to, from and within South America.

We have also innovated our demand-generating advertising by promoting pre-low season specials thus making our demand curves more stable and making it possible for us to offer to our customers all our destinations at accessible prices throughout the year.

TAM’s Passenger Marketing and Sales

Within the “TAM” brand, TAM segregates its marketing strategies between domestic (short-haul) and international (long-haul).

Our long-haul strategy focuses on attributes valued by this type of client, with a number of initiatives focusing on in-flight services, which is where passengers get most of their travel experience and where high quality and comfort are the key differentials. We also view TAM’s large network as a significant differential, since TAM is the Brazilian airline with the largest international operation, offering broad coverage in South America, to Europe and the United States, as well as other international destinations through code-share agreements and alliances with other airlines.

In 2013, we started to implement initiatives in order to capture the synergies we expect, and to better align the international passengers’ travel experience for LAN and TAM.

The initiatives of synergy capture in the long haul business, include, for example, the joint purchase of in-flight entertainment, which made product standardization, content increase and savings possible, as a result of our higher purchasing power. Synergies in the onboard service, both in the short and long haul operations, were also captured as a result of an alignment in terms of the meals served in business and economy classes for LAN and TAM. This process included negotiations with suppliers, which resulted in better quality and savings.

As for the alignment of the travel experience, the main objective was the introduction of a service protocol, which includes the standardization of procedures for check-in and boarding, among others.

To strengthen TAM’s brand positioning, we invest in improving our cabins and services, and constantly monitor our corporate image through quantitative and qualitative surveys. For example, we have implemented a new quality management dynamic in TAM, which includes service panels and passenger satisfaction surveys, among others. The new dynamic includes standardized Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for TAM and LAN.

TAM short-haul operations follow international standards and meet certain client needs specific to such shorter routes, which include point-to-point frequency and operating efficiency. TAM operates two cabins (Business and Coach), maintaining the service standard by type of aircraft (narrow and wide body). Moreover, these routes are invaluable for frequent fliers since they enable the use of TAM Fidelidade membership points with no seat restrictions.

TAM operates Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft depending on demand and infrastructure restrictions. In 2010, we started the “brand elasticity” project, making air travel even more accessible through special fares for flights planned well in advance, with the focus on the tourism/leisure market, while continuing to service the important corporate market. With this project, we achieved a high rate of migration from road to air transport and an increasingly higher number of passengers that were flying for the first time.

TAM constantly focuses on delivering services and items valued by consumers to maintain client satisfaction and retention levels high. For this, we conduct various perception studies (such as NPS, brand funnel) and segmentation studies (Conjoint) to monitor and roll out action plans. As a result, in 2012 we redesigned our domestic fare profiles, making them simple and transparent for passengers, while clearly highlighting the benefits of each profile and the upsell value between bundles. Thus, passengers interested only in price have the option of more attractive fares, while those seeking additional benefits such as TAM Fidelidade membership points, priority services (baggage, check-in and boarding) and baggage allowance may access these services through a fixed preset amount. Passengers know how much they pay for additional benefits.

TAM has also implemented projects to generate additional revenues, targeting items that passengers prioritize, such as more leg room (Espaço Mais) and pre-purchase of excess baggage, among others, offered through convenient online services. During 2013, in recognition of some initiatives and goals achieved, TAM Airlines was awarded the second place in the category “Best airlines in South America” from Skytrax, only after LAN. In addition, TAM received awards such as: most reliable airline brand in the Brazilian market, according to a Survey of trustmarks, carried out by the “Seleções e pelo Ibope Inteligência” magazine; Top of mind according to Data Folha and Grupo Folha in the category “Airlines/ Transport”; Top of mind internet, according to Data Folha; and Most admired companies in the category “Airlines” in the subsector “Corporate Services” organized by the Carta Capital magazine, an important political, economic and cultural Brazilian vehicle. Additionally, TAM classified as the fifth most attractive airlines in the world in the social networks during the fourth quarter of year 2012, according to SocialBakers.

Branding

In 2008, TAM launched the strategic platform for a single brand, with TAM being the main brand that, through values, strategic positioning and language, guides other brands, services and business units, such as TAM Airlines, TAM Cargo, TAM Viagens, TAM Fidelidade, TAM nas Nuvens and others. Thus, we generate synergies among our businesses, always guided by the same values and the commitment to quality and relationship with our stakeholders.

During 2013, the frequent flyer program TAM Fidelidade completed 20 years of operation. To celebrate this date, we developed a big campaign in the social networks, where we were able to capture pictures from our clients, which we will then display in two aircraft from our fleet.

We also launched the “A gente faz um mundo por você” campaign, where we reinforced TAM’s focus on service. In line with this vision, our mission is to be the preferred airline of people, with joy, creativity, respect and responsibility.

Based on this strategic brand positioning, TAM seeks to offer accessibility to all of those who value an efficient, rewarding, safe and hassle-free experience. Whatever may be the need – whether business or leisure travel—we have created products and services that meet these needs.

Distribution Channels

TAM is constantly developing new sales channels to serve our clients, who can rely on the indirect sales channels, represented by travel agents and online travel agencies (OTA), as well as on the direct channel, through TAM.com, our call center, airport ticket offices (ATO), city ticket offices (CTO) and smart business. TAM’s call center is available 24 hours a day. We also sell tickets through our chain of stores located in the main cities of Brazil and in each airport where we operate. In addition, we significantly expanded the TAM Viagens store chain through franchises in the main cities across Brazil.

TAM was the first airline in Latin America to sell tickets online. Through TAM’s website, www.tam.com.br, users can purchase tickets online by paying or using TAM Fidelidade membership points, make reservations up to one hour prior to departure and access information related to the TAM Fidelidade program and the services available. TAM’s website is not incorporated by reference herein and shall not be considered part of this annual report.

In 2013, the indirect sales channels accounted for approximately 63% of total sales and 54% of tickets issued. One of our main challenges was to increase internet sales, which accounted for approximately 36% of total sales in the year. In terms of tickets issued, direct channels accounted for approximately 45% of all tickets, increasing substantially over the previous year.

TAM also recorded an increase of 46% in the utilization of self check-in kiosks during 2013 as compared to 2012. The average utilization for 2013 was 36%.

TAM plans to increase segmented direct sales in the leisure market and to make the booking of tickets, especially over the Internet, easier for our passengers. In 2013, we consolidated the sale of seats with increased leg room (Espaço Mais) within TAM’s e-commerce sales process and through the call center, facilitating access to this service and increasing direct sales.

During 2013, TAM launched a new service tool, with a virtual operator called Julia who is available in TAM’s site www.tam.com.br to assist passengers when needed. In addition, TAM began a check-in servisse that may be done by cellphone for flights departing from São Paulo to destinations in South America and Europe, and for flights departing from United Stated to Brazil.

Advertising and Promotional Activities

Our promotional and communications efforts are aimed at strengthening the brand positioning and providing support to specific commercial needs. These activities include initiatives in communication channels such as television, press, billboards and radio, as well as direct and online marketing.

During 2013, in order to reinforce the campaign “A gente faz um mundo por você”, we developed a promotional initiative in partnership with Coca-Cola and we materialized the Christmas dream of three Brazilian families, in the cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

In addition, we launched a search tool for airline tickets in the home page of the UOL, the main internet Brazilian portal. This initiative aims to facilitate the search for tickets and to strengthen the presence of TAM’s brand.

Frequent Flyer Program

During 2013, LATAM continued to harmonize the LAN and TAM frequent flyers programs. Each program currently operates under its own brand and regulations, however, during 2013, changes were made to both programs in order to reduce key differences and to offer its members similar features and benefits, including the creation of new tiers in both programs, harmonizing qualification criteria for top tiers, and creating new benefits in order to offer all members better value. During 2014 LANPASS and TAM Fidelidade will continue with their programs rationalization and offering new cross benefits for their top tier members.

LANPASS

LANPASS, LAN, frequent Flyer Program, is a key element of the LAN’s marketing and loyalty strategy. The objective of LANPASS is to reward customer´s loyalty, and as a consequence, LANPASS generates incremental revenue and customer retention. Worldwide, as of December 30, 2013, LANPASS had approximately 8.5 million members.

LANPASS members earn LANPASS kilometers in their accounts based on distance flown and class of ticket purchased, or by using services of other partners in the LANPASS program. Customers can redeem kilometers for free tickets or other products in an online catalogue. Under our current frequent flyer program, our passengers are grouped into one standard level and four different elite levels based on each passenger’s flying behavior. These different groups determine which benefits customers are eligible to receive, such as free upgrades on a space-available basis, VIP lounge access and preferred boarding and check-in.

In 2013 LANPASS had an increase of 22.0% in kilometers redeemed and 32.0% in award tickets redeemed by LANPASS’ members in 2012.

LANPASS has highly rated partners, including other airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, retailers, and credit card issuers from the main financial institutions in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina Uruguay, United States and Colombia with Banco de Bogotá and Occidente both members of Grupo Aval. These partnerships give our customers the opportunity to earn additional kilometers for using their services.

In the non banking segment, LANPASS continues to leverage its member’s purchase behavior to partner with leading players in the markets and become the most attractive loyalty program in the home markets. In the past years, LANPASS has entered into new industries, such as retail, supermarkets, automotive, real estate, drugstores and health care centers. As an active member of theoneworld® alliance, we have reciprocal frequent-flyer agreements with alloneworld® carriers. In addition to this, we have reciprocal agreements with other carriers, such as Alaska Airlines and Aeromexico. These agreements allow LANPASS members to accrue and redeem LANPASS kilometers on flights operated by these other carriers.

The LANPASS frequent flyer program aims to be the leading loyalty program in all of LAN’s home markets. In the past couple of years, we have implemented a number of marketing initiatives to increase customer’s engagement and activity with the program in all the markets. In 2013, membership in LANPASS continued growing at 18% in Chile, 22% in Perú, 6% in Argentina and 35% in Ecuador.

TAM Fidelidade Program

TAM’s frequent flyer program, also called TAM Fidelidade, was the first loyalty program launched by a Brazilian airline and represents a key element in TAM’s marketing strategy. LATAM believes TAM Fidelidade is the most flexible in the market because it imposes no restrictions on flights or the number of seats available when members are redeeming accumulated points. TAM Fidelidade has more than 12.2 million members and approximately 26 million redeemed tickets have been distributed since its creation in 1993. Points earned by TAM Fidelidade members must be redeemed for tickets within two years.

TAM Fidelidade customers are classified in five different categories (Branco, Azul, Vermelho, Vermelho Plus (launched in 2013) and Black) and qualification for a particular category is based on frequency of flights. The rate at which points accumulate varies depending on membership tier. The Branco card is the base level of membership and cardholders accrue points each time they fly. Azul, Vermelho, Vermelho Plus cardholders receive progressively greater benefits and increased points for miles flown; allowing the holders to accrue redeemable points for free travel more quickly. Black members have additional benefits and conveniences for our most frequent flyers, such as access to a dedicated customer service group to help meet all of their needs.

TAM joined theoneworld® alliance on March 31, 2014 and TAM Fidelidade customers are able to accrue points and redeem flights ononeworld® carrier flights.

Points earned by TAM Fidelidade members must be redeemed for tickets within two years. This two year period for redemption limits the growth in liabilities arising from Multiplus, assuming a stable trend in relation to the number of passengers we carry.

Multiplus

In 2009, TAM launched Multiplus, a company designed to create a broader network in which TAM’s customers can earn points through the TAM Fidelidade Program. Multiplus is a coalition of loyalty programs that permits the accrual of points for redemption from products and services offered by many different partner companies, not just ours. We believe this expanded network helps to capture and retain customers and increase sales. It is attractive to our less frequent flyers because it allows them to accrue loyalty points in many ways besides flying. At the end of 2013, Multiplus had 472 partner establishments, including the TAM Fidelidade Program.

Multiplus is a publicly traded company in Brazil, and TAM owns 73% of the ordinary shares of non-voting stockMultiplus. We believe Multiplus is a source of Holdco Ivalue generation and after its initial public offering,

The company strengthened its corporate governance, dedicating a team that, we believe, will improve sales even more. TAM Linhas Aereas and Multiplus recently entered into sharesan amendment of voting stocktheir operating agreement, which governs the relationship between the two companies and the purchase of Holdco Iairline tickets to be used for redemptions of Multiplus points. The new amendment, effective June 1, 2013, sets a fixed value for each 10,000 Multiplus points redeemed for TAM tickets during a 12 month pricing assessment phase. At the end of the pricing assessment phase, the price of tickets will be set by reference to the then available public fare for flights from the same origin to the same destination with the same duration and flight travel plan, less an agreed discount. This discounted price will also be subject to a maximum extent allowed under law and minimum range, calculated with reference to a 5% cost variation (increase and decrease) from the fixed price per 10,000 points applicable during the assessment phase.

(1)Information provided for the Company as of December 31, 2012 has been presented on a pro forma basis and includes pro forma operating statistics for LAN and TAM’s respective cargo operations during such period.

Our cargo business generally operates on the same route network used by our passenger airline business. It includes approximately 145 destinations, of which approximately 136 are served by passenger and/or freighter aircraft and approximately 9 are served only by freighter aircraft.

We derive our revenues roughly equally between the transport of cargo as follows:

In the bellies of our passenger aircraft. We consider our passenger network to be a key competitive advantage due to the synergies between passenger and cargo operations and, accordingly, we have developed a strategy to increase our representationcompetitiveness by enhancing our belly offering. Additionally we may purchase belly space from other airlines pursuant to interline agreements.

In our own dedicated freighter fleet. As of December 31, 2013, our dedicated freighter fleet consisted of 12 Boeing 767-300 freighters, with a capacity for 54 tons of freight each, and four Boeing 777-200 freighters, with a capacity of 104 tons of freight each. At the end of 2013, we began the process to redeliver one B767-300 freighter that was leased from a third party, which we expect should be complete during the first quarter 2014. Furthermore, from time to time as warranted by market conditions, we may charter or lease aircraft pursuant to ACMI contracts (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance). Under the latter, which are also known as “wet-leases,” the lessor operates the aircraft and provides the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance pursuant to short—and medium-term contracts.

Prior to the combination of LAN and TAM, we complemented our international cargo operations with domestic cargo services through subsidiaries and affiliates. In August 2012, Aerolinhas Brasileiras S.A. (“ABSA”), LANs Brazilian cargo affiliate, and the cargo unit of TAM began the integration of their respective operations. Following the integration, the combined cargo businesses now operate in Brazil under the brand “TAM Cargo” and are operated by ABSA. We expect to leverage the TAM Cargo brand, which has significant recognition in Brazil, to increase our presence in this market.

Our international cargo operations are headquartered in Miami. This geographical location is a natural gateway for Latin American imports and exports to and from the United States. We have operated in our 397,000 square-foot facilities within the Miami International Airport since 2001. In 2010 we upgraded this facility to enhance our ability to handle perishables and we leased an additional 114,000 square-foot warehouse close to our main facilities. Furthermore, during 2013, LAN Cargo signed a contract with Miami Dade county lease 66,000 square-feet to build a maintenance hangar with capacity to service a Boeing 777-200 freighter.

The United States accounts for the majority of the cargo traffic to and from Latin America. Besides being the main market for Latin American exports by air, the United States is also the main supplier of goods, such as high-tech equipment or spare parts, transported by air to Latin American countries.

We operate to six destinations in Europe: Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan and Paris. The last five we serve via passenger aircraft (with flights from Santiago, Lima, Guayaquil, Sao Paulo and/or Rio de Janeiro, depending on the TAMdestination), and Holdco I boardswe serve Amsterdam through freighter operations. Additionally, we also serve Frankfurt via our passenger flights and freighter operations conducted via our block space agreement with Lufthansa Cargo. For more information, see “—Cargo Agreements” below.

In Latin America, the principal origins of directors ifour cargo are Chile, Colombia, Perú, Ecuador, Brazil and Argentina, which represent a large part of our northbound traffic. For our southbound flights, Brazil is the main import market. In Brazil, we carry cargo for a variety of customers, including other international air carriers, freight-forwarding companies, export oriented companies and individual consumers. Colombia is Latin America’s largest market for exports by air to the United States, reaching an estimated 195,000 tons annually

The evolution of our international cargo operations has always been affected by the flow imbalances of the Latin American cargo markets, resulting in a dramatic shift in the relative weight of southbound and northbound cargo flows throughout the years. We have designed our operations, route network and commercial strategies with the flexibility required to respond to changing conditions.

The flexibility that this business model allows was key to LAN Cargo’s operations in 2007 when permittedLAN Cargo saw a sharp drop in salmon exports from Chile as a result of an outbreak of the ISA virus. It also proved beneficial in 2009 when the business was affected by the contraction of import markets in response to the global economic crisis, and from 2010 to 2012 during the recovery of cargo markets. More recently it has been a key element that has allowed LATAM to weather highly competitive market conditions.

The sharp contraction of LATAM’s traditional markets in 2009—imports into the region and exports from the region – followed by the rapid recovery of demand in 2010 required the Company to fully lever the flexibility of its business model. During 2009 the Company implemented a series of measures such as the adjustment of its capacity through a reduction in the number of planes rented under Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance (“ACMI”) agreements and adjustments in the operations of its own cargo fleet of Boeing 767F freighters. This process has also been reinforced by the incorporation of four new Boeing 777-200F, the most modern and efficient cargo aircraft of their type in the world, with range of 9,045 kilometers when carrying its maximum payload. This significant investment allowed LATAM to consolidate its regional competitiveness by positioning it as the first airline in the region, and only the second internationally, to use these latest-generation cargo planes.

During 2013, cargo traffic decreased 0.8%, reflecting a challenging scenario in Latin American cargo markets due to a decline in demand on routes from USA to Latin America, especially Brazil and Argentina, which was partially offset by better demand on routes from Europe to Latin America and from Latin America to USA, as well as increased competitive pressures from regional and international cargo carriers.

Because of the difficult environment for cargo operations around the world during 2013, competition increased in the region as international carriers added idle capacity to service cargo operations. Despite this increase in competition, we have been able to maintain solid market shares by efficient utilization of our fleet and network. Today, on Latin America-United States routes, our main competitors are Centurion, AVIANCA Cargo, Atlas Air and American Airlines. On the Latin American-Europe routes, our main competitors are Cargolux, Lufthansa Cargo, Martinair, and Emirates Airlines.

Cargo Agreements

Since 2002, LAN Cargo and Lufthansa Cargo have operated pursuant to a block space agreement covering Europe and Latin America. As part of this agreement, we allocate space to Lufthansa Cargo on our flights between selected cities in Latin America and Europe, and Lufthansa Cargo allocates space to us on its flights between Europe and Brazil.

We also have interline, codeshare and other commercial agreements with Asian carriers such as Korean Airlines, JAL, China Airlines, Air China and Cathay Pacific through which we receive space allocations to move our cargo from Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong to hubs in the United States—Los Angeles, New York, Miami and also in Europe—where we can connect with our cargo network. In exchange, we provide these airlines with space from these same hubs in the United States and Europe to all Latin American destinations and also provide them with westbound cargo.

Marketing and Sales

Our sales and marketing efforts are carried out directly, where we have a local office, or through general sales agents. In Latin America we have our own offices in all key markets, adding during 2013 a new office in Paraguay. In the United States, we have offices in Miami, New York and Los Angeles, and work with representatives in various other cities. In Europe, we have offices in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Madrid and Paris (opened in 2013) and use agents in other key cities. In Asia, all our sales efforts are conducted through general sales agents. In total, we maintain a network of more than thirty independent cargo sales agencies domestically and internationally.

Our cargo marketing strategy emphasizes our combination of freighter and passenger aircraft cargo capacity, which allows customers to ship large, bulky freight, as well as smaller, high-density cargo, fresh products, express shipments, and other types of cargo. Our cargo marketing strategy also emphasizes our high-quality services, scheduling flexibility and punctuality. In particular, during 2013 we renewed our focus on service including the formation of a new Customer Care team fully dedicated to proactively informing clients about any shipment problems that might arise and providing timely solutions.

On some routes, we offer special, value-added products such as Positive Flight Specific and Priority 1, which enables the customer to choose a specific passenger flight or access first available freighter capacity to transport its goods. During 2010, we launched the first phase of a new revenue management project aimed at optimizing yields, which has resulted in better capacity and overbooking administration and better pricing practices in 2011, 2012 and 2013. During 2012, we started the roll-out (in New York, Miami and Mexico) of our online booking system (e-booking) allowing our customers to make reservations 24/7.

Cargo Related Investigations

In February 2006 the European Commission (“EC”), in conjunction with the Department of Justice of the United States (“DOJ”), initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them LAN Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the European and United States air cargo markets. On December 26, 2007, the European competition authorities notified LAN Cargo and LATAM of the initiation of proceedings against twenty-five cargo airlines, among them LAN Cargo, for allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the airfreight business.

On January 21, 2009, LAN Cargo announced that it had reached a plea agreement with the DOJ in relation to the DOJ’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the plea agreement, LAN Cargo agreed to pay a fine of US$88 million. In addition, ABSA also reached a plea agreement with the DOJ and agreed to pay a fine of US$21 million. These amounts were stipulated to be paid over a five-year payment schedule starting in 2009. As of March 31, 2014, there were no amounts remaining to be paid.

On November 9, 2010, the EC imposed fines on 11 air carriers for a total amount of €800 million (equivalent to approximately US$1.1 billion). The fine imposed against LAN Cargo and its parent company, LAN, totaled €8.2 million (equivalent to approximately US$10.9 million). The Company provisioned US$25 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 for such fines, and maintained this provision until the fine was imposed in 2010. In 2010, the Company recorded a US$14.1 million gain (pre-tax) from the reversal of a portion of this provision. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results.” This was the lowest fine applied by the EC, which includes a significant reduction due to the Company’s cooperation with the Commission during the course of the investigation. In accordance with foreign ownership control lawsEuropean Union law, on January 24, 2011 this administrative decision was appealed by LAN Cargo and LAN to the General Court in BrazilLuxembourg. Any judgment by the General Court may also be appealed to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The investigation by the DOJ prompted the filing of numerous civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including LAN Cargo and LATAM Airlines Group, including fifty-four in the United States. The cases filed in the United States were consolidated in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York and the original complaint was subsequently amended to include additional airlines, including ABSA. On May 11, 2011, LAN Cargo announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the class action plaintiffs in relation to this litigation. As per the settlement agreement, LAN Cargo agreed to pay US$59.7 million. Furthermore, ABSA also reached a settlement agreement with class action plaintiffs and agreed to pay US$6.3 million. The amounts were paid to plaintiffs’ counsel escrow account in 2011. DHL, a former member of the civil class action plaintiffs, timely opted out of the settlements agreement. LAN Cargo reached a settlement agreement with StarBroker A.G., on behalf of DHL Global Forwarding, whereby LAN Cargo agreed to pay US$8.2 million, of which US$7.1 million was recovered by LAN Cargo from the escrow amount set aside in the class action settlement previously paid by LAN Cargo for opt out plaintiffs.

The Canadian Competition Bureau (“CCB”), in conjunction with the DOJ, also initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them LAN Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other applicable laws iffees in the conversion would not haveCanadian air cargo markets in 2006. On August 20, 2013, LAN Cargo reached a plea agreement with the CCB in relation to the CCB’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the plea agreement, LAN Cargo agreed to pay a fine of US$975,000. The CCB’s investigation prompted the filing of four separate civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including LAN Cargo and LAN, in Canada. On January 31, 2012, LAN and LAN Cargo approved a settlement agreement with the class actions plaintiffs for an adverse effect (as defined above under the “—Transfer Restrictions” section)amount of CAD$700,000 (Canadian Dollars).

On or after the tenth anniversaryApril 5, 2008, Brazilian authorities notified ABSA of the effective timeinitiation of administrative proceedings before theConselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (CADE) against several cargo airlines and after we have fully converted allairline officers, among them ABSA, for allegations of our sharesanticompetitive practices regarding fuel surcharges in the air cargo business. On September 3, 2013, CADE published its decision to impose a fine of non-voting stockUS$51,020,000 against ABSA. CADE also imposed fines upon a former Director and two former employees in the amounts of Holdco I into shares of voting stock of Holdco I as permitted by Brazilian lawUS$1,020,000 and other applicable laws, weUS$510,000 respectively. On December 5, 2013 ABSA filed its application for Administrative Reconsideration before CADE which remains pending. ABSA will also have the right to appeal the final decision of CADE before Judge in a formal judicial proceeding. Given the current stage of the proceedings, it is not possible at this time to anticipate with any precision the outcome of this matter, although it is expected to be a lengthy process.

We operate different aircraft types as we perform various different services ranging from short-haul domestic and regional trips to long-haul trans-continental flights. We have selected our aircraft based on the ability to effectively and efficiently serve these missions while trying to minimize the number of aircraft families we operate.

For short-haul domestic and regional flights we principally operate the Airbus A320-Family aircraft and, since 2010, we also operate the Boeing 737-700 aircraft, the Dash 8-200 aircraft, and the Dash 8-Q400 aircraft. The Airbus A320-Family has been incorporated into our fleet pursuant to operating leases or has been purchased directly from Airbus pursuant to various purchase agreements since 1999.

For long-haul passenger and cargo flights we operate the Airbus A330-200 aircraft, the Airbus A340-300 aircraft, the Airbus A340-500 aircraft, the Boeing 767-300 passenger and cargo aircraft, the Boeing 777 passenger and cargo aircraft and, since the fourth quarter of 2012, the Boeing B787-816 aircraft. The Boeing 767-300 aircraft’s size and range provides an optimal alternative for most of our long-haul passenger and cargo routes. Additionally, the commonality between the passenger and dedicated cargo versions allows us to leverage the ensuing economies of scale. The Boeing 767-300 aircraft that we currently operate have been incorporated into our fleet pursuant to operating leases or have been purchased directly from Boeing pursuant to various purchase orders since 1997. Our Airbus A340-300 and A340-500 aircraft are also well-suited for long-haul routes, given their range and four-engine configuration.

During the first quarter of 2009, we initiated the process of incorporating winglets which are advanced technology devices, in all our passenger and freighter Boeing 767-300 aircraft. Winglets are placed on the wings of an aircraft and have resulted in an approximate 5% reduction in average fuel consumption per year. The total investment in this project is expected to be approximately US$100 million. As of December 2012, 52 aircraft operated by LAN have been modified. We completed the implementation of this project during 2013.

See “Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations” for a description of our purchase obligations for aircraft, for delivery between 2013 and 2019.

Fleet Leasing and Financing Arrangements

LATAM’s financing and leasing methods include borrowing from financial institutions and leasing under financial leases, tax leases, sale-leaseback transactions and pure operating leases. As of December 31, 2013, LATAM had 339 aircraft, of which 11 were in redelivery process, totaling 328 aircraft in operation. Of these aircraft, 161 are operated by LAN and 167 aircraft are operated by TAM.

As of December 31, 2013, LAN’s operating fleet was comprised of 107 financial leases, 5 tax leases, 44 operating leases and 5 unencumbered aircraft as loan guarantees. Most of the LAN’s financial and tax leases are structured for a 12-year period. LAN has 32 aircraft leases supported by the U.S. Export-Import Bank (“EXIM Bank”) and 57 supported by the European Export Credit Agencies (the “ECAs”). LAN’s operating lease maturities are within a maturity range from 2 to 12 years.

As of December 31, 2013, TAM’s operating fleet included 86 financial leases, 12 tax leases and 69 operating leases. For accounting purposes TAM classifies 9 tax leases as operating leases in the financial statements. TAM has 14 aircraft supported by EXIM Bank and 27 supported by the ECAs. TAM’s operating leases maturities are within a maturity range from 5 to 13 years.

LATAM’s aircraft debt, which is comprised of financial and tax leases, is denominated in US dollars and typically has quarterly amortization payments. The financial leases have a bank as counterparty and the tax leases have a bank and a third party involved. 69.5% of our aircraft debt has fixed rate and the balance has floating rate debt based on USD LIBOR. During 2013, LATAM refinanced and pre-financed all of its Boeing deliveries for the year with EX-IM guaranteed bonds.

Going forward, LATAM will be the entity that takes delivery and act as the lessee on all related leases of all aircraft for the group. Pursuant to this strategy, all Boeing and Airbus aircraft deliveries during 2013 (8 wide body aircraft and 27 narrow body aircraft) were made to LATAM, and LATAM has the ability to sublease them to other airlines of the group.

In order to reduce balance sheet FX exposure to the Brazilian real, LATAM plans to transfer all the TAM aircraft financial leases up to the LATAM level. As of March 31, 2014, 10 aircraft were transferred to LATAM which helped to reduce the exposure by approximately US$205 million.

During the first quarter of 2014, LATAM entered into a sale-leaseback transaction for 8 B777-300 passenger aircraft for a lease term of approximately 5 years in order to gain more flexibility in the long haul fleet.

See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources of financing” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures” for a description of expected sources of financing and expected expenditures on aircraft.

See “Item 11—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Risk of Variation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” for a further analysis about the balance sheet FX fluctuation impact

Maintenance

LAN’s Maintenance

Our heavy maintenance, line maintenance and component shops are equipped and certified to service our entire fleet of Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier aircraft. Our maintenance capabilities allow us flexibility in scheduling airframe maintenance, offering us an alternative to third-party maintenance providers.

LAN facilities at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile are among the most extensive in Latin America and have been certified according to IOSA standards and as a FAA approved repair station. Our facilities at our Santiago repair station can service the Boeing 787, Boeing 767, Boeing 777, Airbus 340 and Airbus 320 Family Aircraft fleet, as well as designing and manufacturing galleys, structures and composite materials. We also have the capability to retrofit aircraft interiors, including sophisticated in-flight entertainment equipment, and blended winglets in the Boeing 767 fleet. LAN facilities at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia can service the Boeing 737 and the Dash 8-200 fleet.

Our engineering and maintenance division is supervised by the local DGAC and it is subjected to several recurrent external audits from civil aviation authorities and international entities such as the FAA, the ArgentineAdministración Nacional de Aviación Civil(“ANAC”), the BrazilianAgencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (“ANAC”), the EcuadorianDirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (“DGAC Ecuador”), the PeruvianDirección General de Aeronáutica Civil(“DGAC Peru”), the ColombianUnidad Administrativa Especial de Aeronáutica Civil (the UAEAC), the International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (“IOSA”) (from the International Air Transport Association or “IATA”) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”), in order to strictly comply with applicable regulations. The audits are conducted in connection with each country’s certification procedures and enable us to continue to perform maintenance for aircraft registered in the certificating jurisdictions. Our repair station holds FAA Part-145 certifications under these approvals.

We also rely on third parties for certain maintenance support for our aircraft and engines, where long term partnerships take place with the following MROs (Maintenance Repair and Overhaul facilities): Lufthansa Technik provides our Airbus A320-Family Aircraft and A340 Aircraft component support. International Aero Engines, CFM International and Pratt & Whitney, provides the A320 Family engine maintenance services. General Electric also provides engine maintenance services for Boeing 767-300 aircraft as well as Air France KLM for the Boeing 777-300F, which also includes components support.

Occasionally, we perform certain maintenance services for other airlines.

Our aircraft maintenance personnel participate in extensive training programs at the jointly operated Lufthansa LAN Technical Training S.A., located in Santiago, Chile.

LAN continues to benefit from the implementation of LEAN in heavy and line maintenance. Heavy maintenance is performed approximately every 12–18 months or a specific amount of actual flight hours as defined by the manufacturer, while line maintenance is performed on a daily basis. Since 2009, we have achieved a reduction of approximately 30% to 40% in the time an aircraft remains at the hangar. Moreover, we achieved a reduction of over 20% in the time for some of the most demanding tasks in line maintenance and over 30% increase on workers’ productivity. Other benefits of LEAN include a reduction of approximately 19% in labor accidents in heavy maintenance areas, a reduction of approximately 80% on delayed deliveries of aircraft from programmed maintenance, and a considerable improvement on dispatch reliability. Furthermore, LEAN has had important benefits in terms of employee motivation, by establishing clear roles, setting new challenges and rewarding team achievements.

TAM’s Maintenance

In 2013 we started the process of integrating TAM MRO capabilities and processes with LAN Heavy Maintenance capabilities and Heavy Maintenance outsourcing in a new coordinating LATAM MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) structure.

The LATAM MRO Business Unit provides services mainly for LATAM fleet but provides services for third-party customers as well. It has facilities in São Carlos (SP/Brazil) Technological Center in its own area of 100,000 m�� with a dedicated runway of 1,720 meters and a facility in Santiago International Airport (Chile).

MRO São Carlos (TAM MRO) is certified and audited by major international aeronautical authorities such as FAA (USA), EASA (Europe), ANAC (Brazil), DGAC (Chile), ANAC Argentina, DGCA (Ecuador), DINAC (Paraguay), TC (Canada), among others, for Heavy Maintenance and Components Repair and Overhaul for Airbus A-320 family (A318, A319, A320 & A321) and Airbus A330, Boeing 767, ATR-42/72, and Embraer E-Jet 170/190 families. TAM MRO also has some minor capabilities for repair and overhaul of Airbus A340 and Boeing 777 components. MRO Santiago (LAN Heavy Maintenance) is certified and audited by FAA, ANAC (Brazil), DGAC (Chile), ANAC Argentina, DGCA (Ecuador), among others for Heavy Maintenance for Airbus A320 family (A319, A320 & A321), Boeing 767 and 787. Both MRO facilities are FAA Part-145 certified repair stations.

In 2013 we expanded our capacity by one hangar in MRO São Carlos and now we can accommodate 7 aircraft (Narrowbody/Widebody) and 2 Regional/Turboprop aircraft simultaneously, and we have a dedicated hangar for stripping and painting. In that facility we also have 22 technical shops, including full Landing Gear repair & overhaul shop, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Electronics (ATEC), Electrical Components, Electroplating, Composites, Wheels & Brakes, Interiors and Escape Slides shops. In Santiago we have 2 hangars with 2 widebody slots and 1 narrowbody slot.

In 2013, TAM MRO effectively applied 1.5 million man-hours (a 10% increase compared with 2012), serviced 168 aircraft, including C, D and Special Checks for LATAM fleet and for third party customers, delivered approximately 58,000 components and performed 14 landing gear overhauls. In 2013, TAM MRO serviced almost 100% of all TAM’s Airbus A320 family and A330 demand for Heavy Maintenance, and 75% of demand for Components Repair & Overhaul. We expanded pursuing services for LAN fleet, reaching 15 Heavy Checks. TAM’s external maintenance and repair customers include Azul, Trip, Avianca, the Brazilian Air Force, Embraer, Goodrich, and Hamilton Sundstrand, among others.

TAM’s structure in São Carlos includes engineering capabilities, a full technical training center which develops TAM’s capabilities in terms of human skills with more than 6,000 students and 90,000 hours of training in 2013, providing 80 different basic courses, on-the-job training and special training such as structural, avionics, foreign language and leadership training and education.

In 2011 TAM started a turn-around process to achieve international MRO competitive standards in terms of costs, quality, reliability and time of deliveries (TAT). In 2012 TAM began to implement the LEAN system and other activities, including continuous process improvement culture, redesign of the production methodology in productive cells and scheduling of task through CCPM methodology (Critical Chain Project Management), development of shop-floor control systems and carry out VSM process modeling for Landing Gear shop. 2013 was the year of consolidation of these initiatives and in 2013 we accomplished a significant 7% reduction in turnaround times, increased ontime performance and improved quality of our services (as measured by reductions in post-check failures and premature components failures).

TAM’s line maintenance is fully capable to provide services to all types of Airbus and Boeing aircraft of TAM fleet. Operations in TAM’s extensive network of 41 domestic destinations are supported by TAM maintenance staff; in the international maintenance line stations, there is a mix of TAM staff and qualified outsourced line maintenance providers.

TAM’s maintenance and engineering organization in Brazil is supervised by the Brazilian Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (‘ANAC’). TAM Mercosur’s operations are supervised by the Paraguayan Dirección Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil (‘DINAC’). All operations are subjected to periodic audits by these regulatory authorities. As IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA)-certified airlines, TAM and TAM Mercosur are also periodically audited by IOSA-qualified Audit Organizations to guarantee fully compliance with applicable regulations.

In addition to the broad capability of TAM heavy maintenance facilities in São Carlos for aircraft and components, TAM relies on a range of qualified third parties maintenance providers, including MTU Aero Engines in Germany and GE Celma In Brazil for Airbus A320-Family IAE and CFM engines, General Electric facilities in USA and Europe for A330, B767 and B777 GE engines and Pratt & Whitney in Singapore for A330 P&W engines. Third parties also provide certain additional components applicable to TAM fleets.

LATAM Safety and Security

LATAM has been working to standardize LAN and TAM’s operational indicators regarding safety, audits and emergency response. This process of identifying synergies in LAN and TAM’s operational indicators has led to opportunities to improve processes and standardize operational processes and audits.

LAN’s Safety and Security Corporate Direction

The Safety and Security Corporate Direction (“SSCD”) is an internal division in charge of the management of safety and security matters related to flight operations, operative and administrative buildings, organization and coordination of emergency response matters, safety and security audits and safety and occupational health.

The SSCD reports directly to LAN’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), which reflects the firm commitment that the Company’s senior management has to the Safety & Security. The SSCD is comprised of five independent reporting management areas: safety management, security management, emergency response management, Safety & Security Audit management and Safety and Occupational Health Management.

Safety Management

We give high priority to providing safe and reliable air service. We have uniform safety standards and safety-related training programs that cover all of our operations. LAN has implemented a System called LAN I-AMS (LAN Integrated Airline Management System) throughout the operational areas of the Company, which is certified by the Chilean DGAC and IOSA System. The LAN I-AMS integrates Safety, Safety Assurance, Emergency Response, Security and Occupational Safety and Health management and provides clear definitions of the functions and responsibilities regarding safety for all persons involved, from the top to the bottom of the operational structure of the airline. It strengthens the commitment and knowledge required from everyone in the Company regarding any and all actions that could affect safety.

The Operational Safety Senior Manager (“SSM”) is responsible for the Operational Safety Oversight and the implementation of the LAN I-AMS. The SSM supervises a staff of approximately 21 safety specialists of different backgrounds, including pilots, aeronautical engineers, aircraft maintenance engineers, a psychologist, and dangerous goods and ground handling safety specialists.

Our corporate operational safety organization consists of three main areas:

Flight Safety Management: The Flight Safety Area oversees and audits our operational safety measures, investigates major incidents and programs and controls the LOSA and FOQA Programs (as defined below). The Flight Safety Area also oversees and audits safety measures related to ground handling and cargo areas and investigates related incidents.

Maintenance Safety Management: The Maintenance Safety Area oversees and audits our maintenance safety measures and investigates maintenance-related incidents.

Flight Data Monitoring Management: The Flight Data Monitoring Area is responsible for the maintenance and administration of the recorded flight data and safety-related databases and software.

The main safety programs, elements and procedures include:

Flight Operations Quality Assurance (“FOQA”). Since the end of 2002, LAN has been implementing a Flight Data Monitoring (“FDM”) program using two different analysis programs. The FDM program is fully developed for the A320-Family Aircraft, A340, Boeing B767, B787 and B777 fleet. The statistical information obtained has produced standard operational procedure changes and valuable inputs to the Advance Qualification Program project. We have also fully developed a maintenance variation for the same fleets which monitors the engines, flight controls and general performance of the airplanes.

Mandatory Occurrence and Mandatory Reports. Our operations policy manuals define the incidents that require a mandatory report. On a voluntary basis, personnel can provide confidential reports to the flight safety area in hard copy or electronic form.

Safety Information Management. All safety information regarding all occurrences is entered into dedicated software Aviation Quality Database (AQD), where it is analyzed according to its potential risk. Important incidents are investigated thoroughly. The relevant areas related to each particular incident implement corrective actions with the assistance of the corporate operational safety directory.

Line Operation Safety Audit (“LOSA”). LOSA is a program designed to survey and analyzes the safety components of our equipment and operations. LOSA observations have been conducted on the A-340, A-320 and Boeing B767 fleets. In 2007, a second LOSA observation has been applied to the A-340 fleet, which has given important information of the effectiveness of the corrective actions recommended by the first observation conducted in 2004. The LOSA program will be applied to all A320 fleets in 2014 and is expected to be applied to the B787 fleet during 2016.

Human Factors Program. This program is based on a manual developed by LAN that includes all interconnectivities between flight operations and human factors. The program includes a Fatigue Risk Management Program that is being implemented since 2008. The program also includes Crew Resource Management and Flight Crews Training and study of incidents using the Threat and Error Management (“TEM”) model.

We also periodically evaluate the skills, experience and safety records of our flight crews in order to maintain strict control over the quality of our flight crews. All of our aircraft pilots participate in training programs, some of which are sponsored by aircraft manufacturers, and all are required to undergo recurrent training.

Our operational safety committee, composed of senior executives and key operational managers, is responsible for the initiation of safety-related actions.

All of our Boeing 767, A320 Family, A340 and Boeing 777 and 787 fleets are equipped with an enhanced ground proximity warning system, a traffic collision avoidance system, a wind shear detection system and reduced vertical separation minimum capabilities.

Security Management

The main policy and the essential principle of the Company is to ensure an adequate security protection to all its flights, aircraft, passengers, crew members, ground personnel, airport facilities and other services related to the commercial civil aviation against any threat or unlawful action.

We have implemented corporate policies and a quality management system through the operational system to detect any lack of security in its operations and prevent acts of unlawful interference. Risk analysis is used to determine different levels of security to be implemented to international and domestic operations.

The Security Corporate Manager (“SCM”) has the responsibility to evaluate, analyze and assign risk levels (high, medium, low) to international and domestic operations, proposing security procedures for each scenario. The SCM leads an organization of eight security specialists. These specialists analyze high risk flights and all the aspects of the operation that could cause an impact in the normal daily activities of the Company. Finally, the security management is controlled and audited constantly. The current SCM is a former police officer with more than 20 years of experience in the civil aviation.

The corporate security organization has three main areas: standards, procedures and quality control; planning and management control; and dangerous goods. Additionally, our SCM gives support to the different areas of the Company related to training, internal investigations, and travel documentation assistance.

Since 2002, the Company’s Corporate Security Manual has unified international and domestic security procedures, including local security procedures; airport security programs for each country in which we have operations, which includes procedures to prevent unlawful conduct and procedures for a bomb threat or hijacking drill; corporation security training programs regarding the acceptance of aircraft, baggage, cargo and passengers an airport security audit procedures regarding airport inspections; and identification of security issues and corrective action plans for non-compliance.

Emergency Response Management

The emergency response management team is responsible for the administration of the Emergency Response Plan (ERP). It has been developed for the effective management of different kinds of emergencies (aircraft accidents, natural disasters, strikes, pandemics) with the purpose of mitigating impacts of emergencies on passengers and their relatives, as well as the Company’s operations.

Telephone Enquiry Center. Our telephone enquiry center is located in São Paulo, Brazil, at our call-center office and has 630 agents in Sao Paulo and 150 agents in Buenos Aires. There are 180 lines available to establish a toll free number only for family members and victims in Brazil.

Notification to families: In accordance with IAC 200-1001 (Brazil), TAM is responsible for notifying families within 3 hours aftermath of an aircraft accident or incident.

Logistic Area. Immediately after an accident or a serious incident the CMC will deploy the Family Assistance Team to assist families and victims to establish a Family Assistance Center (FAC) in a hotel or similar near to the crash site, in order to support logistics issues.

Personnel Effects: TAM has contract with service vendor to provide property recovery and restoration, and disaster mortuary services.

Aircraft Recovery: TAM has used the Recovery Kit since 2008, which is certificated by International Airlines Technical Poll (IATP). The agreement signed with the IATP provides that all member airlines may use the TAM´s equipment and staff in the region. The equipment is applied to any type of aircraft (including A380).

Flight Data Monitoring

The Flight Data Monitoring Area is responsible for the maintenance and administration of recorded flight data and safety-related databases and software.

Flight Operations Quality Assurance—“FOQA”

Since May 2002, TAM has utilized a Flight Data Monitoring (“FDM”) program. The FDM program is fully developed for the A320-Family Aircraft, A330, Boeing B767 and B777 fleet. The statistical information obtained produces recommended standard operational procedure changes and other safety-related measures. We have started the development of a maintenance variation for the same aircraft types which will monitor the engines, flight controls and general performance of the airplanes.

Maintenance Safety Coordinator

The Maintenance Safety Area oversees our maintenance safety measures and investigates maintenance-related incidents using the Maintenance Error Decision Aid (“MEDA”) methodology.

Cabin Safety Coordinator

The cabin safety area coordinator is responsible for managing the safety of aircraft cabins, cabin safety investigations, cabin passengers and flight attendants.

Investigation & Safety Information Management Coordinator

All information regarding safety-related incidents is entered into dedicated software, where it is analyzed according to potential risk. Important incidents are investigated thoroughly. Each particular incident requiring corrective actions is addressed accordingly with the assistance of the corporate operational safety directory.

ASR—Aviation Safety Report Coordinator

The Aviation Safety Report (“ASR”), catalogues all confidential safety reports submitted by employees of the company. The ASR is an important tool for accident prevention. The management of the ASR system through the Aviation Quality Database (“AQD”) allows for the sharing of information and facilitates corrective actions by the Company). This system includes features to classify risk reports for management.

All ASR reporting is subjected to the following basic process within the AQD:

Analysis of facts and risks involved;

Issue relevant to the sector analysis and response;

Issuance of Note—Recommendation and / or Safety Bulletin;

Response to the author (if identified) attaching a copy of the ASR process.

Mandatory Occurrence and Mandatory Reports Coordinator

The Authority Operational Policy manual defines the incidents and occurrences that require mandatory reporting. Those reports are created by the Safety Department of the Company.

LOSA—Line Operations Safety Audit Coordinator

This program was recognized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”) ( and National Civil Aviation Agency—Brazil (“ANAC”) as a necessary tool to protect passengers and employees.

The implementation of this program has been used to improve flight safety in the Company, by recording behaviors observed during normal flights for experienced pilots and through the preparation of a mandatory checklist (form) developed by experienced pilots familiar with the program. Observations by the Threat and Error Management (“TEM”) may even propose appropriate changes to the system and processes.

MAS—Maintenance Assessment Survey Coordinator

This program is similar to the LOSA program, applied to the mechanics of the aircraft, following a methodology known as the Maintenance Climate Assessment Survey (“MCAS”) which is utilized by the Department of Defense (United States Government), as in other Brazilian and international airlines, with the goal of improving processes and system based on assessments of human behavior in maintenance activities.

Airport infrastructure, Air traffic control and Ground Handling Coordinator

This area of the Company is responsible for identifying and analyzing risks related to Airports, and ATC and Ground handling. This area of the Company utilizes tools such as: Airport Surveys, ASR, FOQA Analysis, accident and Incident Investigations to develop ways to reduce risk to acceptable levels.

Other Safety and Security Procedures

In addition the specific policies discussed above, LATAM maintains various other internal divisions and employees specifically designated to manage safety planning and maintenance, investigation, data collection and reporting regarding safety related events.

Fuel Supplies

Fuel costs comprise the single largest category of our operating expenses. Over the last years, our fuel consumption and operating expenses have increased due to the significant growth in our operations and to the increase in fuel prices as a result of economic and political factors. In 2013 total fuel costs represented 35.0% of our total operating expenses. The into-wing price for 2013, (average fuel price plus taxes and transportation costs, including hedge) was US$3.48 per gallon, representing a decrease of 5.6% from the 2012 into-wing pro forma average fuel price. We can neither control nor accurately predict the volatility of fuel prices. Despite the foregoing, it is possible to partially offset the price volatility risk through our hedging and fuel surcharge programs in place in both our passenger and cargo business. For more information, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk of Fluctuations in Jet Fuel Prices.”

The following table details our consolidated fuel consumption and operating expenses (which exclude fuel costs related to charter operations because fuel expenses are covered by the entity that charters the flight) during the last three years.

Total fuel costs (US$ thousands) include hedging gains/losses.

Our fuel supply arrangements vary by airport and are distributed on 26 providers, but are mainly concentrated in Brazil (50%), Chile (12%) and Perú (8%). During 2013, we negotiated our fuel supply in major European, North American and South American airports. In 201_, we renegotiated our entire fuel supply in Chile and closed a long term agreement with the main player in this market (Joint Venture Copec – Air BP).

In 2013, we also signed a long term contract with Shell and YPF in Argentina. In North America our main airports are Miami and New York, where we signed contracts with WFS and Air BP respectively securing our supply in complex markets.

In others countries Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay, we continued working with our current suppliers (including Raizen , Petrobras, Petroperu, Exxon , Repsol, Petroecuador, Terpel, Axxion, among others.) regarding our fuel supply arrangements in these countries and many of these supply agreements will be negotiated during 2014.

Ground Facilities and Services

Our main operations are based at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile. We also operate from various other airports in Chile and abroad. We operate hangars, aircraft parking and other airport service facilities at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport and other airports throughout Chile pursuant to concessions granted by the DGAC. We also maintain one customs warehouse at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, additional customs warehouses in Chile (Iquique, Antofagasta and Punta Arenas) and Argentina (Aeroparque) and operate cargo warehouses at the Miami International Airport to service our cargo customers. Our facilities at Miami International Airport include corporate offices for our cargo and passenger operations and temperature-controlled and freezer space for imports and exports.

We also operate significant ground facilities and services through TAM’s headquarters located at Congonhas International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. In 2013, we inaugurated two new facilities for ground handling equipment maintenance and repair at São Paulo’s Guarulhos Airport with 9,000 m² and at Rio de Janeiro’s Galeão Airport with 4,000 m².

Finally, we incur certain airport usage fees and other charges for services performed by the various airports where we operate, such as air traffic control charges, take-off and landing fees, aircraft parking fees and fees payable in connection with the use of passenger waiting rooms and check-in counter space.

Ancillary Airline Activities

In addition to our airline operations, we generate revenues from a variety of other activities, including revenue from aircraft leases (including subleases, dry-leases, wet-leases and capacity sales to certain alliance partners) and charter flights, from tours, from duty-free in-flight sales, from other maintenance, storage and customs, handling and activities and revenues of Multiplus. In 2013, LATAM generated other revenues of US$342 million from ancillary activities.

Insurance

We maintain insurance policies as required by law and in accordance with the terms of all aircraft leasing agreements which LATAM and their affiliates and subsidiaries may own or we are responsible for or operate, including TAM and its affiliates and subsidiaries. The scope of these policies includes all risk coverage for aircraft hulls, including war risks and third party legal liability for passengers, cargo, baggage and injuries to third parties on the ground. Our current policies, which are in force through April 1, 2014 and are renewed annually, follow the best practices adopted by the international civil aviation industry.

We have negotiated common terms for Hull All Risk, Aviation Legal Liabilities and Spares coverage, together with IAG Group (British Airways, Iberia and their affiliates and franchises), which allows us to obtain premium reductions and coverage improvements. We also maintain insurance in respect of the assets against the risk of theft, fire, flood, electrical damage and similar events for equipment and buildings we own or for which we are responsible, including airport areas where we have operations. Similarly, we have contracted for vehicle insurance against the risk of robbery, theft, fire and civil liability against third parties for all vehicles we own or for which we are responsible.

Information Technology

General

We use information technology in almost every aspect of our business.

Passenger Service System

Our reservations, departure control (check-in), inventory, flight planning and baggage tracing systems (“Passenger Service Systems, or “PSS”) are operated by Sabre, and SITA, and we operate our internal systems from two data center facilities in Santiago, Chile. In 2006, we implemented a Disaster Recovery Plan between those two sites in order to ensure the functionality of our critical systems, with a recovery time objective of four days. The line of business infrastructure currently has an average recovery time of two hours for 80% of our systems and two days for the remaining 20%. In 2012, we completed a significant “HOST” change from multiple legacy applications to implement a single supplier (Sabre) for our PSS, which contains the reservation, inventory and departure controls for LATAM Airlines Group.

Third-party suppliers provide us with the following technical infrastructure elements:

wide-area data network (provided mainly by SITA and Telefónica); and

data centers and desktop operations and support (provided by Accenture and HP).

Basic Infrastructure Operation

Since early 2010, we have outsourced our IT infrastructure with Accenture and IBM worldwide. During 2011 IBM managed the data center and Accenture handled our desktop equipment. In 2012 we changed the company in charge of managing of our data center from IBM to HP.

Between 2010 and 2013, LAN upgraded its IT platform and optimized its solution for contingencies in case of a disaster.

Front-End Systems

We employ a strategy of encouraging and facilitating self-service alternatives for customers, through improving the functionality of the www.lan.com website as well as implementing self check-in kiosks in airports. During 2009, we deployed a new online system in order to provide the processes that our engineering, maintenance and materials areas develop, with technological solutions. This project has allowed us to establish and automate simple and integrated processes, standardize processes for the Company (including our subsidiaries and related companies), facilitate handling of materials and maintenance, make relevant information available in a full, unique and consistent way to all users, and optimize distribution and execution (planned and non planned), among other benefits.

Enterprise Resource Planning

In 2002, we purchased an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system from SAP. This system, which was fully implemented in the second quarter of 2004 for LAN and almost all of its subsidiaries, includes modules covering areas such as: finance, accounting, inventory management, human resources, business warehouse, as well as a user-friendly portal.

Development and Maintenance System

With respect to new development needs, our first choice is to acquire existing packaged software, but we outsource this service when such software is not available in the market. Since early 2007, we have outsourced our IT system development to four principal vendors: TATA Consultancy Services, Everis, Accenture and Indra.

Business Initiatives

The purchase of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, Boeing’s most fuel efficient aircraft and the world’s first e-enabled airplane, has been a significant challenge for our technology processes since the airplane needs more connectivity to network, optimized hardware and software and constant support.

Integration between LAN and TAM

Following the combination, we are undertaking a project to unify the IT applications of LAN and TAM and to develop a plan to integrate LAN and TAM´s business processes and applications. The main focus was:

evaluate LAN and TAM’s applications and processes

align IT strategy for LATAM

define the final application architecture for LATAM

define an integrated technical architecture and infrastructure as well as a model for business and technical applications maintenance

build the action plan, including the implementation roadmap, its phases, investments and impact on the current projects.

As a result of this roadmap, LATAM will prioritize initiatives in 2014 that are most valuable for integrating IT operations, which include:

ERP: Finance, procurement, budget and planning, human resources and employee internal portal

Aircraft Maintenance system

Commercial area systems: Revenue Accounting, Revenue Management and BI Commercial

Operations management systems: To optimize flight route and crew schedule

Host system strategy: To define LATAM’s host system

To implement these prioritized projects, we estimated an investment of approximately US$45.6 million. During 2013 the following innicatives were implemented:

ERP: budget and planning, human resources and employee internal intranet.

Operations management systems: To optimize crew schedule

Commercial area systems: Revenue Management International and BI Commercial I.

In addition, during 2014 the following systems implementations will be finalized:

ERP: Finance, procurement

Aircraft Maintenance system

Commercial area systems: Revenue Accounting

TAM integration to Oneworld

Central IT Operations:

Regarding the IT central infrastructure, LATAM’s technical model was designed to support not only the implementation of LATAM’s system applications but also the implementation of integrated datacenter and telecommunications (data and voice) solutions. The integrated IT model will require future investments of approximately US$13.6 million.

In 2013, we established a unified outsourcing contract with HP to manage LAN & TAM´s Data Center, this services is now provided by HP. We are currently working to consolidate TAM´s 3 Data Centers in only one. In 2014 we will define a new DRP model (Disaster Recovery Plan) for LATAM, which will be implemented in 2015.

Regarding the computer platform, the current type of equipment that TAM holds are being standardized (desktops and Laptops) with those used by our other subsidiaries. In addition the procurement model is changing from renting to purchasing the assets. As a result there is only one customer support model, which will optimize costs and improve services quality. Customer support is currently provided by Accenture and IBM.

In 2013, we selected SITA as the main vendor to provide a consolidated telecommunications network between LAN & TAM, in addition to Telefonica and OI. Implementation is scheduled for 2014.

Regulation

Below is a brief reference to the material effects of aeronautical and other regulations in force in each of the relevant jurisdictions in which LAN and its subsidiaries operate.

Chile

Aeronautical Regulation

Both the DGAC and the JAC oversee and regulate the Chilean aviation industry. The DGAC reports directly to the Chilean Air Force and is responsible for supervising compliance with Chilean laws and regulations relating to air navigation. The JAC is the Chilean civil aviation authority. Primarily on the basis of Decree Law No. 2,564, which regulates commercial aviation, the JAC establishes the main commercial policies for the aviation industry in Chile, regulates the assignment of international routes, and the compliance with certain insurance requirements, and the DGAC regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authority from the Chilean government to conduct flight operations, including authorization certificates from the JAC and technical operative certificates from the DGAC, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Chile is a contracting state, as well as a permanent member, of the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations established in 1947 to assist in the planning and development of international air transport. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Chilean authorities have incorporated into Chilean laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Chilean regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the DGAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes.Chilean airlines are not required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes, but only to comply with the technical and insurance requirements established respectively by the DGAC and the JAC. There are no regulatory barriers that would prevent a foreign airline from creating a Chilean subsidiary and entering the Chilean domestic market using that subsidiary. On January 18, 2012 the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Economics of Chile announced steps towards unilaterally opening the Chilean domestic skies in the near term.

International Routes.As an airline providing services on international routes, LAN is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Chile and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Chile and foreign governments will continue, and a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Chile and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Chile, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency the JAC awards it through a public auction for a period of five years. The JAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, the JAC may terminate its rights to that route. International route frequencies are freely transferable. In the past, we have generally paid only nominal amounts for international route frequencies obtained in uncontested auctions.

Airfare Pricing Policy.Chilean airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic and international fares without government regulation. For more information, see “—Antitrust Regulation” below. In 1997, the Antitrust Commission approved and imposed a specific self-regulatory fare plan for our domestic operations in Chile consistent with the Antitrust Commission’s directive to maintain a competitive environment. According to this plan, we must file notice with the JAC of any increase or decrease in standard fares on routes deemed “non-competitive” by the JAC and any decrease in fares on “competitive” routes at least twenty days in advance. We must file notice with the JAC of any increase in fares on “competitive” routes at least ten days in advance. In addition, the Chilean authorities now require that we justify any modification that we make to our fares on non-competitive routes. We must also ensure that our average yields on a non-competitive route are not higher than those on competitive routes of similar distance.

Registration of Aircraft.Aircraft registration in Chile is governed by the Chilean Aeronautical Code (“CAC”). In order to register or continue to be registered in Chile, an aircraft must be wholly owned by either:

a natural person who is a Chilean citizen; or

a legal entity incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Chile and a majority of the capital stock of which is owned by Chilean nationals, among other requirements established in article 38 of the CAC.

The Aeronautical Code expressly allows the DGAC to permit registration of aircraft belonging to non-Chilean individuals or entities with a permanent place of business in Chile. Aircraft owned by non-Chileans, but operated by Chileans or by an airline which is affiliated with a Chilean aviation entity, may also be registered in Chile. Registration of any aircraft can be cancelled if it is not in compliance with the requirements for registration and, in particular, if:

the ownership requirements are not met; or

the aircraft does not comply with any applicable safety requirements specified by the DGAC.

Safety.The DGAC requires that all aircraft operated by Chilean airlines be registered either with the DGAC or with an equivalent supervisory body in a country other than Chile. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by either the DGAC or an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory entity. In addition, the DGAC will not issue maintenance permits to a Chilean airline until the DGAC has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. The DGAC renews maintenance permits annually, and has approved our maintenance operations. Only DGAC-certified maintenance facilities or facilities certified by an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory body in the country where the aircraft is registered may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Chilean airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified either by the DGAC or an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory body before assuming any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security.The DGAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Chilean commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Chile must submit an aviation security handbook to the DGAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. LAN has submitted its aviation security handbook to the DGAC. Chilean airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy.The DGAC supervises and manages airports in Chile, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. The DGAC proposes airport charges, which are approved by the JAC and are the same at all airports. Since the mid-90s, a number of Chilean airports have been privatized, including the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of the DGAC and JAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise affect us in Chile, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability. There is no noise restriction regulation currently applicable to aircraft in Chile. However, Chilean authorities are planning to pass a noise-related regulation governing aircraft that fly to and within Chile. The proposed regulation will require all such aircraft to comply with certain noise restrictions, referred to in the market as Stage 3 standards. LAN’s fleet already complies with the proposed restrictions so we do not believe that enactment of the proposed standards would impose a material burden on us.

Argentina

Aeronautical Regulation

Both theAdministración Nacional de Aviación Civil (“ANAC”) and the Secretary of Transport oversee and regulate the Argentinean aviation industry. ANACI regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management, and reports indirectly to the Ministry of Planning and is responsible for supervising compliance with Argentinean laws and regulations relating to air navigation. The Secretary of Transport also reports to the Ministry of Planning and regulates the assignment of international routes and matters related to tariff regulation policies. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authorizations from the Argentinean government to conduct flight operations, including authorization certificates and technical operative certificates from ANACI, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Argentina is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations established in 1947 to assist in the planning and development of international air transport. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Argentinean authorities have incorporated into Argentinean laws and regulations. In the absence of applicable Argentinean regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the ANACI has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. In Argentina airlines are required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes, and to comply with the technical requirements established by the local authority. There are no regulatory barriers preventing a foreign airline from creating an Argentine subsidiary and entering the Argentine domestic market using that subsidiary. However, ownership of such subsidiary by the foreign airline may not be direct, but through a subsidiary formed in Argentina, which in turn may be directly or indirectly owned by the foreign company. However, such subsidiary should operate Argentine registered aircraft and employ Argentine aeronautical personnel.

International Routes. As an airline providing services on international routes, LAN Argentina is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Argentina and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Argentina and foreign governments will continue. Furthermore, a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Argentina and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Argentina, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. ANACI grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, the ANACI may terminate its rights to that route.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Argentine airlines are permitted to establish their own international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. Yet, there are government-fixed maximum and minimum prices for domestic flights.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Argentina is governed by the Argentinean Aeronautical Code (“AAC”). In order to register or continue to be registered in Argentina, an aircraft must be wholly owned by either:

a natural person who is an Argentinean citizen; or

a legal entity incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Argentina and a majority of the capital stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by Argentinean nationals, among other requirements established in the AAC.

Safety.ANACI requires that all aircraft operated by Argentinean airlines be registered with ANACI. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by ANACI. In addition, ANACI will not issue maintenance permits to an Argentinean airline until ANACI has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. ANACI renews maintenance permits periodically and approves maintenance operations once the airline initiates its operations and each time an airline changes its maintenance regime. Only ANACI-certified maintenance facilities (in Argentina or in any other country) may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Argentinean airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified by ANACI before assuming any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security.ANACI establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Argentinean commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Argentina must submit an aviation security handbook to ANACI describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. LAN Argentina has submitted its aviation security handbook to ANACI. Argentinean airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy.The ORSNA (Organismo Regulador del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos) supervises and manages the airports in Argentina, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. The ORSNA proposes airport charges, which are approved by ANACI and are the same at all airports. Nevertheless, while domestic flights are charged in local currency, international flights are charged in U.S. dollars. Since the late-90s, a number of Argentinean airports have been privatized, including Aeroparque and Aeropuerto Internacional de Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini in Buenos Aires, the two most important airports in Argentina. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of ANACI and ORSNA.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise affect us in Argentina, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability and noise restriction regulation currently applicable to aircraft in Argentina. Any aircraft operated by an Argentinean airline should comply with certain noise restrictions, specifically with Stage 3 standards, as set forth in chapter 91.805 of the Argentinean civilian aviation regulations (Regulaciones Argentinas de Aviación Civil) referred to in the market as Stage 3 standards. LAN’s fleet already complies with the proposed restrictions so we do not believe that enactment of the proposed standards would impose a material burden on us.

Peru

Aeronautical Regulation

The Peruvian DGAC (“PDGAC”) oversees and regulates the Peruvian aviation industry. The PDGAC reports directly to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and is responsible for supervising compliance with Peruvian laws and regulations relating to air navigation. In addition, the PDGAC regulates the assignment of national and international routes, and the compliance with certain insurance requirements, and it regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authorizations from the Peruvian government to conduct flight operations, including authorization and technical operative certificates, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Peru is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Peruvian authorities have incorporated into Peruvian laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Peruvian regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the PDGAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes.Peruvian airlines are required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes and to comply with the technical requirements established by the PDGAC. Non-Peruvian airlines are not permitted to provide domestic air service between destinations in Peru.

International Routes.As an airline providing services on international routes, LAN Peru is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Peru and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Peru and foreign governments will continue, and a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Peru and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Peru, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency the PDGAC awards it through a public auction for a period of four years. The PDGAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of 90 days or more, the PDGAC may terminate its rights to that route, although that has never happened in practice.

Airfare Pricing Policy.Peruvian airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic and international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. For more information, see “—Antitrust Regulation” below. Airlines or other interested parties may file complaints before the Institute for Protection of Fair Competition and Consumer Rights (“Indecopi”) with respect to monopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Peru’s antitrust laws.

Registration of Aircraft.Aircraft registration in Peru is governed by the Peruvian Civil Aviation Law. In order to own and register a Peruvian aircraft, the following conditions shall apply:

In case of a natural person, the owner shall be a Peruvian citizen; or in case of a foreign person, the owner shall be permanently domiciled in Peru; or

In case of a legal entity, it shall be incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Peru among other requirements established in article 47 of the Peruvian Civil Aviation Law.

Aircraft owned by non-Peruvians citizens or entities with domicile in Peru may also be registered in Peru but only if the aircraft is used for general, not commercial aviation. Registration of any aircraft can be cancelled if it is not in compliance with the requirements for registration mentioned above and, in particular, if the aircraft does not comply with any applicable safety requirements specified by the PDGAC.

Safety. Peruvian law allows the use of aircraft that are registered either with the PDGAC or with an equivalent supervisory body in a country other than Peru. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by either the PDGAC or an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory entity. In addition, the PDGAC will issue maintenance permits to a Peruvian airline as long as the PDGAC has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. The PDGAC has approved our maintenance operations. Only PDGAC-certified maintenance facilities or facilities certified by an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory body in the country where the aircraft is registered may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Peruvian airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified either by the PDGAC or an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory body before be appointed to any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security.The PDGAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Peruvian commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Peru must submit an aviation security handbook to the PDGAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. LAN Peru has submitted its aviation security handbook to the PDGAC. Peruvian airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy. CORPAC supervises and manages airports in Peru, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. CORPAC sets airport charges for navigation facilities, which may differ from airport to airport. Since the mid-90s, a number of Peruvian airports have been privatized, including the Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez in Lima. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of theOrganismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Infraestructura de Transporte de Uso Público, (the Supervising Agency of Investment in Public Transport Infrastructure Facilities or “OSITRAN”), an independent regulatory and supervising entity.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.There are no specific material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise materially affect us in Peru, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability. There are noise restriction regulations currently applicable to aircraft in Peru. LAN’s fleet complies with the proposed restrictions so they do not impose a material burden on us.

Ecuador

Aeronautical Regulation

There are two institutions that control commercial aviation on behalf of the State: (i) The National Civil Aviation Board (“CNAC”), which directs aviation policy; and (ii) the General Civil Aviation Bureau (“EDGAC”), which is a technical regulatory and control agency. The CNAC issues operating permits and grants operating concessions to national and international airlines. It also issues opinions on bilateral and multilateral air transportation treaties, allocates routes and traffic rights, and approves joint operating agreements such as wet leases and shared codes.

Fundamentally, the EDGAC is responsible for:

ensuring that the national standards and technical regulations and international ICAO standards and regulations are observed;

keeping records on insurance, airworthiness and licenses of Ecuadorian civil aircraft;

maintaining the National Aircraft Registry;

issuing licenses to crews; and

controlling air traffic control inside domestic air space.

The EDGAC also must comply with the standards and recommended methods of the ICAO since Ecuador is a signatory of the 1944 Chicago Convention.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes.Airlines must obtain authorization from CNAC (an operating permit or concession) to provide air transportation. For domestic operations, only companies incorporated in Ecuador can operate locally, and only Ecuadorian-licensed aircraft and dry leases are authorized to operate domestically.

International Routes.Permits for international operations are based on air transportation treaties signed by Ecuador or, otherwise, the principle of reciprocity is applied. All airlines doing business in Latin America that are incorporated in countries that are members of theComunidad Andina de Naciones (the Andean Community, or “CAN”) obtain their traffic rights on the basis of decisions currently in force under that regime, in particular decision N°582 of 2004, which guarantee free access to markets, with no type of restriction except technical considerations.

Shared codes are allowed in Ecuador after authorization by the CNAC, but the respective airlines must have the relevant traffic rights.

Airfare Pricing Policy.On October 13, 2011, The Statutory Law of Regulation and Control of the Market Power was passed with a purpose to avoid, prevent, correct, eliminate and sanction the abuse of economic operators with market power, as well as to sanction restrictive, disloyal and agreements involving collusive practices. This Law creates a new public entity as the maximum authority of application and establishes the procedures of investigation and the applicable sanctions, which are severe. Rates are not regulated and are subject only to registration. In general, bilateral treaties regarding air transportation provide for airfares to be regulated by the regulation of the country of origin.

Registration of Aircraft.The legislation allows Ecuadorian companies to provide international air transportation services using aircraft licensed in Ecuador and aircraft with a foreign license, always provided the latter are exploited under dry leases. For domestic operations, aircraft is authorized only pursuant to dry leases and Ecuadorian registration. Aircraft interchange agreements are also allowed for international operations, provided that the aviation authority can confirm that the aircraft is under the operational control of an Ecuadorian operator. Wet leases are permitted, but very restricted.

Safety. In order to ensure aviation safety, the EDGAC requires that the airline hold an Air Operator Certificate and have Operating Specifications that are examined technically and rigorously to ensure compliance with the Civil Aviation Technical Regulations, which are essentially the same as the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”) of the FAA. They cover matters of aircraft airworthiness, certification of maintenance facilities, and oversight by the EDGAC.

Security.The governing rules also apply to security in respect of the EDGAC. There are regulations, manuals and procedures on airport security overseen by the EDGAC.

Airport Policy. The international airports in Quito and Guayaquil are managed under administrative concessions, and the EDGAC merely controls air traffic. Fees for the use of airport facilities, terminal fees, landing fees, parking fees are all overseen and collected by the operator. Over-flight and approach fees are controlled and collected by the EDGAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.Aircraft must comply with the standards of category 3 under Ecuadorian applicable noise regulations, as set forth in Executive Decree (Decreto Ejecutivo) 1,405, enacted on October 24,2008, which provides certain technical specific criteria. Beginning in May 2010, aircraft must comply with standards of category 4 under cited regulation. Category 3 provides for compliance with ICAO regulations and technical conditions mandatory in the United States of America.

United States of America

Aeronautical Regulation

Operations to and from the United States by non-U.S. airlines, such as LAN, are subject to Title 49 of the U.S. Code, under which the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) and the FAA exercise regulatory authority. The DOT has jurisdiction over international aviation in connection with the United States, subject to review by the President of the United States. The DOT also has jurisdiction with respect to unfair practices and methods of competition by airlines and related consumer protection matters. The U.S. DOJ also has jurisdiction over airline competition matters under the U.S. federal antitrust laws. Flight operations between Chile and the United States by airlines licensed by either country are governed generally by the open skies air transport agreement that Chile and the United States signed in October 1997. Under the open skies agreement, there are no restrictions on the number of destinations or flights that either a U.S. or a Chilean airline may operate between the two countries or on the number of U.S. and Chilean airlines that may operate.

Authorizations and Licenses

LAN is authorized by the DOT to engage in scheduled and charter air transportation services, including the transportation of persons, property (cargo) and mail, or combinations thereof, between points in Chile and points in the United States and beyond (via intermediate points in other countries). LAN holds the necessary authorizations from the DOT in the form of a foreign air carrier permit, Exemption Authorizations and Statements of Authorization to conduct current operations to and from the United States. Exemptions and Statements of Authorization are temporary in nature and are subject to renewal and therefore there can be no assurance that any particular exemption or statement of authorization will be renewed. LAN’s foreign air carrier permit has no expiration date, while a renewal of the exemption authorization (which includes the open skies traffic rights) was timely filed and the Authority was automatically extended until such time as the DOT issues the renewal order. LAN intends to request the inclusion of the open skies rights into our foreign air carrier permit, which would eliminate our need to renew the exemption authority in the future.

The FAA is engaged in the regulation with respect to safety matters, including aircraft maintenance and operations, equipment, aircraft noise, ground facilities, dispatch, communications, personnel, training, weather observation and other matters affecting air safety. The FAA requires each foreign air carrier to obtain certain operations specifications that authorize it to operate to particular airports on approved international routes using specified equipment. LAN currently holds FAA operations specifications under Part 129 of the FAR in compliance in all material respects with all requirements necessary to maintain in good standing of its operations specifications issued by the FAA. The FAA can amend, suspend, revoke or terminate those specifications, or can suspend temporarily or revoke permanently our authority if an airline fails to comply with the regulations, and can assess civil penalties for such failure. A modification, suspension or revocation of any of our DOT authorizations or FAA operations specifications could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The FAA also conducts safety audits and has the power to impose fines and other sanctions for violations of airline safety regulations. We have not incurred any material fines related to operations.

Security. On November 19, 2001, the Congress of the United States passed, and the President signed into law, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, also referred to as the Aviation Security Act. This law federalized substantially all aspects of civil aviation security and created the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”), which took over security responsibilities previously held by the FAA. The TSA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Aviation Security Act requires, among other things, the implementation of certain security measures by airlines and airports, such as the requirement that all passenger bags be screened for explosives. Funding for airline and airport security required under the Aviation Security Act is provided in part by a US$2.50 per segment passenger security fee, subject to a US$10 per roundtrip cap; however, airlines are responsible for costs in excess of this fee. Implementation of the requirements of the Aviation Security Act has resulted in increased costs for airlines and their passengers. Since the events of September 11, 2001, Congress has mandated and the TSA has implemented numerous security procedures and requirements that have imposed and will continue to impose burdens on airlines, passengers and shippers.

Noise Restrictions. Under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (“ANCA”), and related FAA regulations, aircraft that fly to the United States must comply with certain Stage 3 noise restrictions, which are currently the most stringent FAA noise requirements. All of our aircraft that fly to the United States meet the Stage 3 requirements.

Under the direction of the ICAO, governments are considering the creation of a new and more stringent noise standard than that contained in the ANCA. The ICAO adopted new noise standards in 2001 that established more stringent noise requirements for aircraft manufactured after January 1, 2006. In the U.S., legislation known as the “Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act,” which was signed into law in December 2003, required the FAA to issue regulations implementing Stage 4 noise standards consistent with recommendations adopted by the ICAO. FAA regulations require all aircraft designed and certified after January 1, 2006 to comply with Stage 4 noise restrictions.

FAA regulations also require compliance with the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System, approved airborne wind shear warning system and aging aircraft regulations. Our entire fleet meets these requirements.

Brazil

Aeronautical Regulation

The Brazilian aviation industry is regulated and overseen by the ANAC. The ANAC reports directly to the Civil Aviation Secretary, which is subordinated by the Federal Executive Power of this country. Primarily on the basis of Law No. 11.182/2005, ANAC was created to regulate commercial aviation, air navigation, the assignment of domestic and international routes, compliance with certain insurance requirements, flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control, in this case sharing it activities and responsibilities with theDepartamento de Controle do Espaço Aéreo (Department of Airspace Control) (“DECEA”),which is a public secretary also subordinated to the Brazilian Defense Ministry, and airport management, in this last case sharing responsibilities with theEmpresa Brasileira de Infra-Estrutura Aeroportuária (the Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Company, or “INFRAERO”), a public company that was created by Law No. 5862/72, and is responsible for administrating, operating and exploring Brazilian airports industrially and commercially (with the exception of Guarulhos International Airport, Viracopos International Airport and Brasilia International Airport which was privatized in 2012 and are administrated by concession agreement).

We have obtained and maintain the necessary authority from the Brazilian government to conduct flight operations, including authorization and technical operative certificates from ANAC, the continuation of which is subject to ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

ANAC is the Brazilian civil aviation authority and it is responsible for supervising compliance with Brazilian laws and regulations relating to air navigation. Brazil is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Brazilian authorities, represented by the Brazilian Defense Ministry, have incorporated into Brazilian laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Brazilian regulation concerning safety or maintenance, ANAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. Brazilian airlines are not required to obtain permits in connection with domestic passenger or cargo transportation, but only to comply with the technical requirements established by ANAC. Based on the Brazilian Aeronautical Code (“CBA”) established by Law No. 7.565/86, non-Brazilian airlines are not permitted to provide domestic air service between destinations in Brazil. The same law prevents a foreign airline from creating a Brazilian subsidiary and entering the Brazilian domestic market using that subsidiary.

International Routes. Brazilian and non-Brazilian airlines providing services on international routes are also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Brazil and various other countries. International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Brazil and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Brazil, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency ANAC must carry out a public bid and award it to the elected airline. ANAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, ANAC may terminate its rights to that route. ANAC may also terminate its right if the recipient airline does not operate at least 80% of the frequency given for that specific route.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Brazilian and non-Brazilian airlines are permitted to establish their own international and domestic fares, in this last case only for Brazilian airlines, without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. Airlines may file complaints before the Antitrust Court with respect to monopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Brazil’s antitrust laws.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Brazil is managed by ANAC, which maintains the Brazilian Aeronautical Register, as regulated by the CBA. The CBA allows ANAC to permit registration of aircraft belonging to Brazilian and non-Brazilian individuals.

Safety. ANAC requires that all Brazilian aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by ANAC. In addition, ANAC will not issue maintenance permits to a Brazilian airline until it has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. ANAC renews maintenance permits annually, and has approved our maintenance operations. Only ANAC certifies aircraft maintenance services and its personnel.

Security. ANAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Brazilian commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Brazil must submit an aviation security handbook to ANAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training.

Brazilian Airport Policy. INFRAERO supervises and manages airports in Brazil, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. INFRAERO proposes airport charges, which are approved by ANAC and are the same at all airports. At privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of ANAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation. ANAC coordinates and supervises noise regulations by regulation 121, which established noise restriction applicable to aircraft in Brazil. There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed specifically upon airlines companies, applicable to aircraft, other than Brazilian general environmental laws and regulations.

Colombia

Aeronautical Regulation

The governmental entity in charge of regulating, directing and supervising the civil aviation is the Aeronáutica Civil (“AC”), a technical agency ascribed to the Ministry of Transportation. The AC is the aeronautical authority for the entire domestic territory, in charge of regulating and supervising the Colombian air space. The AC may interpret, apply and complement all civil aviation and air transportation regulation to ensure compliance with the Colombian Aeronautical Regulations (“RAC”). The AC also grants the necessary permits for air transportation.

Route Rights

The AC grants operation permits to domestic and foreign carriers that intend to operate in, from and to Colombia. In the case of Colombian airlines in order to obtain the operational permit the company must comply with the RAC and fulfill legal, economic and technical requirements, to later be subject to public hearings where the public convenience and necessity of the service is considered. The same process must be followed to add national or international routes, whose concession is subject to the bilateral instruments entered into by Colombia. Routes cannot be transferred under any circumstance and there is no limit to foreign investment in domestic airlines.

Airfare Pricing Policy.Since July 2007, as stated in resolution 3299 of the Aeronautical Civil entity, bottom level airfares for both international and domestic transportation were eliminated. Under resolution 904 issued in February 2012, the Aeronautical Civil entity decided to liberalize the obligation of charging a fuel surcharge for both domestic and international transportation of passengers and cargo. As of April 1, 2012, air carriers may now freely decide whether or not to charge a fuel surcharge. In the case that it is charged, the fuel surcharge must be part of the fare, but may be informed separately on the tickets, advertising or other methods of marketing used by the company.

In the same line, as of April 1, 2012 there is no longer be any restriction on top level fares published by the airlines or with respect to the obligations for air carriers to report to the Aeronautical civil entity the fares and conditions the day after being published.

Administrative fares are not subject to any changes and its charge is an obligation for the transport of passengers under Aeronautical Civil Regulations.

Registration of Aircraft.The AC, through the Office of Aeronautical Registration, is in charge of handling the registration of aircraft that will be operated by Colombian airlines. Registration may be obtained by a registration process fully conducted in Colombia or through the validation in Colombia of a foreign registration. For such registration, the aircraft must be legally imported to the country and inspected by the aeronautical inspectors. This office is also in charge of property registrations, lease contracts and liens of the registered aircraft.

Safety. Aircraft registered in Colombia obtain an airworthiness certificate or a validation of the airworthiness certificate (if they operate under the approval of the foreign registration).

Security.Following the guidelines of the OACI annexes, the AC issued an airport security program that must be strictly complied with by all the aircraft operators in the country as well as by airports.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.In Colombia, only aircraft that comply with category 3 noise limits may operate. There are strict regulations to control noise during takeoffs and landings of the aircraft at the El Dorado Airport in Bogotá due to its location in an urban area.

Antitrust Regulation

The Chilean antitrust authority, which we refer to as the Antitrust Court (previously the Antitrust Commission), oversees antitrust matters, which are governed by Decree Law No. 211 of 1973, as amended, or the Antitrust Law. The Antitrust Law prohibits any entity from preventing, restricting or distorting competition in any market or any part of any market. The Antitrust Law also prohibits any business or businesses that have a dominant position in any market or a substantial part of any market from abusing that dominant position. An aggrieved person may sue for damages arising from a breach of Antitrust Law and/or file a complaint with the Antitrust Court requesting an order to enjoin the violation of the Antitrust Law. The Antitrust Court has the authority to impose a variety of sanctions for violations of the Antitrust Law, including termination of contracts contrary to the Antitrust Law, dissolution of a company and imposition of fines and daily penalties on businesses. Courts may award damages and other remedies (such as an injunction) in appropriate circumstances. As described above under “—Chile—Route Rights—Airfare Pricing Policy,” in October 1997, the Antitrust Court approved a specific self-regulatory fare plan for us consistent with the Antitrust Court’s directive to maintain a competitive environment within the domestic market.

Since October 1997, LAN Airlines S.A. and LAN Express follow a self-regulatory plan, which was modified and approved by the Tribunal de la Libre Competencia (the Competition Court) in July 2005, and further in September, 2011. In February 2010, the Fiscalía Nacional Economica (the National Economic Prosecutor’s Office) finalized the investigation initiated in 2007 regarding our compliance with this self-regulatory plan and no further observations were made

As a condition to the business combination between LAN and TAM in June 2012, the antitrust authorities in Chile and in Brazil each imposed certain mitigation measures as part of their approval of the merger. Furthermore, the merger was submitted to the antitrust authorities in Germany, Italy and Spain. All these jurisdictions granted unconditional clearances for this transaction. The merger was filed with the Argentinean antitrust authorities, which approval is still pending. For more information regarding these mitigation measures please see below:

Chile

On September 21, 2011, the TDLC issued the Decision with respect to the consultation procedure initiated on January 28, 2011 in connection with the proposed combination. The TDLC, in the Decision, approved the proposed combination between LAN and TAM, subject to 14 conditions, as generally described below:

exchange of certain slots in the Guarulhos Airport at Săo Paulo, Brazil;

extension of the frequent flyer program to airlines operating or willing to operate the Santiago-Săo Paulo, Santiago-Río de Janeiro, Santiago-Montevideo and Santiago-Asunción routes during the five-year period from the effective time of the merger;

execution of interline agreements with airlines operating the Santiago-Săo Paulo, Santiago-Río de Janeiro and Santiago-Asunción routes;

certain capacity and other transitory restrictions applicable to the Santiago-Săo Paulo route;

certain amendments to LAN’s self-regulatory fare plan approved by the TDLC with respect to LAN’s domestic passenger business;

the obligation of LATAM to renounce to one global airline alliance within 24 months from the date in which the merger becomes effective, except in the case that the TDLC approves otherwise, or to elect not to participate in any global airline alliance;

certain restrictions on codeshare agreements outside the global airline alliance to which LATAM belongs for routes with origin or destination in Chile or that connect to North America and Europe, or with Avianca/TACA or GOL for international routes in South America, including the obligation to consult with, and obtain approval from, the TDLC prior to its execution of certain of those codeshare agreements;

the abandonment of four air traffic frequencies with fifth freedom rights between Chile and Perú and limitations on acquiring in excess of 75%, as applicable, of the air traffic frequencies in that route and the period that certain air traffic frequencies may be granted by the Chilean air transport authorities to LAN;

issuance of a statement by LATAM supporting the unilateral opening of the Chilean domestic skies (cabotage) and abstention from any actions that would prevent such opening;

promotion by LATAM of the growth and normal operation of the Guarulhos (Brazil) and Arturo Merino Benítez (Chile) airports, to facilitate access thereto to other airlines;

certain restrictions regarding incentives to travel agencies;

to maintain temporarily 12 round trip flights per week between Chile and the United States and at least seven round trip non-stop flights per week between Chile and Europe;

certain transitory restrictions on increasing fares in the Santiago-Săo Paulo and Santiago-Río de Janeiro routes for the passenger business and for the Chile-Brazil routes for the cargo business; and

engaging an independent consultant, expert in airline operations, which for 36 months, and in coordination with the FNE, will monitor and audit compliance with the conditions imposed by the Decision.

Brazil

On September 3, 2010, LAN and TAM submitted a merger filing before the Brazilian Antitrust System, composed of CADE, the SDE and the SEAE. The filing was made based on the Memorandum of Understanding, executed by the parties on August 13, 2010. As per the request of the parties, the SEAE suspended its analysis of the merger filing until the parties had taken more definitive steps with respect to the proposed combination. On October 21, 2010, the parties informed SEAE of the execution of the Instrumento Particular de Ratificaçăo de Entendimento by the parties on October 12, 2010, pursuant to which the parties agreed on a transaction structure for the proposed combination and thus requested that SEAE resume its analysis of the merger filing. SEAE issued its report approving the merger filing without any restrictions on August 11, 2011. The case was then further examined by CADE’s Reporting Commissioner, Olavo Chinaglia, for an additional four months. CADE sent information requests to LAN and TAM (Official Letter Nos. 1830/2011; 1945/2011; 2410/2011; and 2493/2011) to complement SEAE’s analysis. On December 14, 2011, the case was adjudicated in a Plenary Session, where the board of CADE approved the transaction with the following conditions: (i) LAN and TAM cannot be members of more than one global airline alliance; (ii) LAN and TAM must swap two pairs of slots at the Guarulhos Airport with one or more companies that is willing to operate non-stop flights in the Săo Paulo-Santiago route, granting the swapping companies the necessary infrastructure in the Guarulhos Airport; and (iii) LAN and TAM must publish the contents of the decision in newspapers widely sold in Brazil, and send letters to carriers that operate commercial flights from the Guarulhos Airport, informing them of the decision.

C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

LATAM Airlines Group is a company primarily involved in the transportation of passengers and cargo. Our operations are carried out principally by LAN, and by a number of different subsidiaries and affiliates, including TAM. As of January 31, 2014, in the passenger business we operated through seven main airlines: LAN, Transporte Aéreo S.A. (which does business under the name “LAN Express”), LAN Perú S.A. (“LAN Peru”), Aerolane, Líneas Aéreas Nacionales del Ecuador S.A. (“LAN Ecuador”), LAN Argentina S.A. (“LAN Argentina,” previously Aero 2000 S.A.), Aerovías de Integración Regional, Aires S.A. (which does business under the name “LAN Colombia”) and TAM Linhas Aereas S.A. (“TAM Linhas Aereas”)

As of January 31, 2014 we held a 99.90% stake in LAN Express through direct and indirect interests, a 69.98% stake in LAN Peru through direct and indirect interests, a 71.95% indirect stake in LAN Ecuador, a 94.99% indirect stake in LAN Argentina, a 98.81% indirect stake in LAN Colombia and a 100.00% of the non-voting shares of TAM and 19.42% of the voting shares of Holdco I heldS.A., who has the 100.00% of the voting shares of TAM. For a description of the recent combination with TAM, including TAM’s operating structure, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—A. History and Development of the Company—Combination of LAN and TAM.”

Our cargo operations are carried out by our subsidiaries and affiliates, including, TAM Linhas Aereas and LAN Cargo. Our cargo operations are complemented by the controlling shareholdersoperations of TAM for an amount equal to their then current tax basiscertain related companies, such as Aero Transportes Mas de Carga S.A. de C.V. (“MasAir”) in such shares and any costs incurred by them to effect such sale, which amount we refer to as the “sale consideration.” If we do not timely exercise our right to purchase these shares or if, after the tenth anniversary of the effective time, we have the right under applicable lawMexico, Aerolinhas Brasileiras S.A. (“ABSA”) in Brazil and other applicable law to fully convert allLinea Aérea Carguera de Colombia S.A. (“LANCO”) in Colombia. As of January 31, 2014, we indirectly held a 100% of the non-voting shares and a 24.99% of the voting shares of MasAir, a 100% of the non-voting stockshares and a 20% of Holdco I beneficiallythe voting shares of ABSA, and an 89.90% stake in LANCO through direct and indirect participations. Following the business combination between LAN and TAM, we have coordinated the operations of ABSA and TAM Cargo in Brazil. In the cargo business, we market ourselves primarily under the LAN Cargo brand internationally and the TAM Cargo brand in Brazil.

D. PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT

From February 1, 2013, LAN Infrastructure Management and TAM Infrastructure Management report to the Director of Purchasing and Infrastructure of LATAM. Both LAN and TAM infrastructure management teams have worked together during 2012 and 2013 regarding strategic planning for infrastructure issues for the LATAM Airlines Group.

LAN’s Property, Plant and Equipment

Headquarters

Our main facilities are located on approximately five acres of land that we own near the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. The complex includes approximately 150,695 square feet of office space, 32,292 square feet of conference space and training facilities, 9,688 square feet of dining facilities and mock-up cabins used for crew instruction.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, we moved some of our executive offices into a new building in a more central location in Santiago, Chile, where we initially occupied a total of four floors owned by LAN. In the first half of 2005 we added three more floors to accommodate our growth requirements. These floors are also owned by LAN. In 2007, in order to accommodate the Company’s growth, LAN leased two floors in an adjacent building (totaling 18,298 square feet), where some of LAN staff moved in February 2008. We have leased these additional floors since 2007, under a 5-year lease. In 2009, to respond to the Company’s growth, LAN leased two additional floors in this building (totaling 12,917 square feet). We have leased these additional floors since 2009 until May 2016. In 2010, new offices were leased east of Santiago to allow for Company growth and to implement projects such as “Host,” which involves changing our system of reservations, sales, inventory and passenger check-in. We have leased these additional offices since 2010, under a 4-year lease. These additional offices add a total of 19,913 square feet to LAN’s property.

Furthermore, during 2011 we added to our facilities a new 11,840 square feet floor at the Arrau Building located in Santiago, Chile, which we lease for the new facilities of LAN Cargo. We have leased this floor since 2011, under a 3-year lease.

Maintenance Base

Our 877,258 square feet maintenance base is located on a site that we own inside the grounds of the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. This facility contains our aircraft hangar, warehouses, workshops and offices, as well as a 559,720 square feet aircraft parking area capable of accommodating up to seventeen short-haul aircraft. We have a five-floor, 53,820 square feet office building plus a 10,000 square feet office and workshop space. This facility is certified by several civil aviation authorities, including the United States’ FAA. As such, we are permitted to perform maintenance work for third parties at the facility. The FAA periodically inspects the facility to ensure its compliance with FAA standards. We also lease from the DGAC 193,750 square feet of space inside the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport for operational and service purposes. Our lease has a duration of 14 years.

During 2012, we continued to invest and improve the maintenance base infrastructure with the objective of having world class facilities, including new access to the base, which allows facilities access control, therefore, improves its security.

During 2013, we began to develop a series of infrastructure projects, the most significant of which is the construction of a north platform which allows for an additional 13 new A320 aircraft parking spaces. During 2013, a significant part of this project was completed, including 5 new parking spaces for A320 aicraft. The project is expected to be finished during the third quarter of 2014. Additionally during 2013, parking capacity for vehicles was increased by 135 new spaces.

Miami Facilities

We occupy a 36.3-acre site at the Miami International Airport that has been leased to us into sharesby the airport under a concession agreement. Our facilities include a 48,000 square feet corporate building, a 380,000 square feet cargo warehouse (including a 10,000 square meter cooling area) and a 783,000 square feet aircraft-parking platform, which were constructed and are now leased to us under a long-term contract by a North American developer, and approximately 21,528 square feet of voting stockfurnished office space, which we converted from warehouse space in 2004. The rent we pay for the use of Holdco Ithis space is approximately US$735,000 per month. We are currently negotiating with the local airport authority regarding its construction of a new hangar at the Miami International Airport, which we expect to lease from them when it is constructed.

During 2010, LAN signed a concession agreement with the AMB Property Corporation to add a new cargo warehouse for additional areas for future developments. Our concession has duration of 5 years at a rate of approximately US$215,000 per month.

During 2013, a new project for a Boeing B777 hangar was developed. This project finally received approval from Miami airport authorities in 2014 and such conversion would notshould be completed during the first half of 2015.

Other Facilities

We own a building and sixteen acres of land on the west side of the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport that houses a flight-training center. As of February 28, 2014, this facility features three full-flight simulators for Boeing 767, Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft. We leased this flight-training center under a long-term lease to CAE Inc. (a leading Canadian company in the flight training business).

In 2004, Fast Air Almacenes de Carga S.A. (“Fast Air”), one of our subsidiaries that operates import customs warehouses, began utilizing an import warehouse and office building at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. This 172,000 square feet building was developed in conjunction with two other operators. We have an adverse effect butleased these facilities since 2004 and, as a result of a new contract signed in 2013, we will continue to operate there until September 2015.

Overview

The principal and most distinctive aspect of our business model is the way in which we integrate our passenger and cargo activities. Our sophisticated service-oriented approach to combining passenger and cargo traffic enables us to better utilize our aircraft, reduce our break-even load factors on passenger flights, and diversify our revenue streams. Furthermore, the geographically diversified nature of our passenger and cargo networks provides additional diversification in our operations and reduces exposure to any single market. These benefits have helped us maintain profitability and expand our operations, despite volatile macroeconomic conditions and various external shocks that have affected the airline industry over the years.

In 2013, 97% of our revenues are generated by our air transport activities. We currently providegenerate the balance of our operating revenues from tour operator services, aircraft leases, on-board sales, third-party maintenance, ground handling and customs and storage brokerage operations.

Our operating environment in 2013 was marked by a moderate growth in passenger operations, and reduced cargo demand. For the year ended December 31, 2013 LATAM Airlines reported a net loss of US$263.8 million, largely resulting from a US$481 million foreign exchange loss arising from the 6.5% depreciation of the Brazilian real in December 31, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012. Operating revenues decreased by 0.2% in 2013 from pro forma revenues of US$ 12,956.7 million in 2012 to US$12,924.5 million, as a result of an increase of 0.4% in passenger revenues and a decrease of 4.0% in cargo revenues.

During 2013, passenger demand responded to different trends in our business units, resulting from the diverse strategies implemented in each of them. The Company’s slight decrease in passenger capacity of 0.4% as compared to pro forma capacity for year 2012 was mainly a result of an 8.4% decrease in capacity in the domestic Brazil market and the rationalization of our international passenger operations where capacity only grew by 2.3%. These effects were partially offset by continued growth of 11.0% in capacity in our domestic Spanish speaking countries. In our domestic passenger operations in Brazil, the reduction in capacity, together with market segmentation and revenue management practices, resulted in a load factor of 79.7% in the year, which represents an increase of 6.1 percentage points as compared to pro forma figures for 2012. Revenues per ASK in this market increased by 4.1% in US dollar terms as a result of these initiatives. In our international passenger operations, capacity rationalization during the year resulted in an increase of only 2.3% in capacity as compared to pro forma capacity for 2012, which led to an increase of 2.4% in traffic and a slight increase in load factors and revenues per ASK.

For the year ended December 31, 2013 the combined yield for the international and domestic passenger businesses decreased by 2.0% as compared to the pro forma yield in 2012, reflecting a more challenging environment due to higher competition in the international routes and the impact of the 10.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real for 2013 as compared to 2012, which impacted yields from the domestic Brazilian market. Depreciation of the local currencies in our Spanish speaking countries also impacted yields in these operations.

In the cargo business, we continue to face a challenging scenario due to a slowdown in world trade momentum, a decline in demand on routes to Latin America (especially to Brazil) and competitive pressures from new cargo carriers flying in the region, which has been partially offset by strong northbound routes. In the year ended December 31, 2013 cargo capacity a measured in ATKs slightly increased by 0.1%, with a significant decrease in capacity during the last quarter of the year, whereas cargo traffic slightly decreased by 0.5%, resulting in a decrease of 0.3 percentage points in cargo load factors to 58.4%. The Company continues with a rational and disciplined approach toward freighter capacity utilization, in line with a still challenging and competitive scenario in Latin American cargo markets, while focused on maximizing the belly utilization of the Company’s passenger fleet. During the month of November 2013, we grounded for redelivery one B767F aircraft, thus reducing our cargo capacity in the quarter significantly and increasing load factors as of the end of the year.

Our operating expenses in 2013 were primarily impacted by a decrease in fuel prices, the depreciation of local currencies, especially the Brazilian real, and certain non-recurring costs related to our fleet plan restructuring. The Company continues to manage fuel prices through its fuel surcharge policy and financial hedging strategy, as well as tactical capacity adjustments on certain routes.

In June 2012, LATAM Airlines Group was formed through the business combination of LAN and TAM. During the second half of 2012, LATAM began the integration of LAN and TAM’s business units and the transformation necessary to achieve the expected merger synergies, implementing adjustments to commercial practices and aligning operations and processes in its international and domestic passenger operations in Brazil. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, LATAM incurred one-time costs of

US$56.0 million and 59.2 million (pro forma), respectively. Although in the short term the Company’s results are expected to be impacted by these transition and integration costs, the Company expects to achieve increased operating income in the long-term as a result of substantial synergies between these two businesses.

Passenger Operations

In general, our passenger revenues are driven by international and country-specific political and economic conditions, competitive activity, the attractiveness of the destinations that we serve, and the capacity we allocate among our different routes. Passenger revenues are also affected by our capacity, traffic, load factors, yield and unit revenue. Our capacity is measured in terms of available seat kilometers, or ASKs, which represents the number of seats we make available for sale, multiplied by the kilometers flown. We measure traffic in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs, as the number of passengers on our flights multiplied by the number of kilometers flown. Load factors represent RPKs (traffic) as a percentage of ASKs (capacity), or the percentage of our capacity that is actually used by paying customers. Finally, we use yield, or revenue from passenger operations divided by RPKs, to measure the average amount that one passenger pays to fly one kilometer and unit revenue, or revenue per ASK, to measure the effect of capacity on revenues. See “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data.” The following discussion of revenue drivers in our passenger operations is based on our unaudited pro forma operating results for 2012 where specified.

Passenger demand has grown over the past years, driven by positive economic conditions in Latin America. Economic growth and improved customer confidence have led to an expansion in both business and leisure traffic to and from Latin America. Increased interest in travel into South America from Europe and the United States has been another factor positively impacting overall passenger traffic. As a consequence, passenger volumes in markets such as Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador grew significantly between 2010 and 2013.

Competitive activity on both our domestic and international passenger servicesroutes has also varied over the last several years. On our international routes, competition has gradually increased as both incumbent and new competitors expanded their operations. Nevertheless, we have maintained our market share in Chile, Peru,most of our international markets since 2005 and have gradually increased our presence in international routes. We also have increased our domestic operations, initiating operations in Ecuador Argentinain April 2009, in Colombia in 2010 and Colombia. in Brazil in 2012 following the business combination between LAN and TAM.

We carry outaddress different challenges while advancing our cargostrategic development plans by taking advantage of our integrated business model, efficient operations, through thecontinued customer focus, and flexible capacity management. Continuous monitoring of demand trends and competitive activity has allowed us to identify opportunities and, as a consequence, additional capacity has also been allocated to certain operations. We have also decreased capacity among other routes, especially in long haul routes to Europe because of weaker economic conditions, and domestic routes in Brazil, in response to softened demand in our Brazilian domestic operations. Further refinements to our itineraries have been implemented in order to improve connectivity between our operations and those of our partners.

We continue to enhance our regional network by selectively adding new destinations and launching new routes. Since 2004, we have been developing an intra-regional hub in Lima that enables us to effectively use of belly space on our passenger flightsLima as a connecting point for passengers traveling between Mexico City, Bogotá, Caracas, Guayaquil, Quito, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Santa Cruz, Sao Paulo and dedicated cargo operations using freighter aircraft through our cargo airlines in Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.Santiago de Chile. In 2007, we initiated a strategy for stimulating demand for air travelbegan direct service between Lima and Madrid and in our domestic markets by offering lower-fare options to travelers, lowering our costsJuly 2010, we launched four weekly frequencies between Lima and increasing the aircraft utilization ratesSan Francisco, with connections from Sao Paulo, Santiago and efficiency of operations. For more information about our short-haul operations see “—BusinessBuenos Aires. During 2012 and 2013, because of the Company—Passenger Operations—Business Model for Domestic Operations” below.

As of February 29, 2012, we serviced 15 destinationsweak economic situation in Chile, 14 destinations in Peru, 4 destinations in Ecuador, 17 destinations in Argentina, 23 destinations in Colombia, 15 destinations in other Latin American countriesEurope, LATAM reduced capacity to that region and the Caribbean, 5 destinations inincreased frequencies to the United States, 2 destinations in Europeincluding a new LAN Colombia route, Bogotá-Miami, and 4 destinations in the South Pacific. In addition, as of February 29, 2012, through our various code-share agreements, we offer service to 29 additional destinations in North America, 17 additional destinations in Europe, 29 additional destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean (including Mexico) and 2 destinations in Asia. We provide cargo service to all our passenger destinations and to approximately 20 additional destinations served only by freighter aircraft. We also offer other services, such as ground handling, courier, logistics, and maintenance.

Competitive Strengths

Our strategy is to maximize shareholder value by increasing revenues and profitability through leveraging the operational efficiencies between our cargo and passenger divisions, thoroughly planning for our expansion efforts and carefully controlling costs. We plan to accomplish these goals by both focusing on our existing competitive strengths and implementinga new strategies to fuel our future growth. We believe our most important competitive strengths are:

Leading Presence in Key South American Markets

We are one of the main international and domestic passenger airlines in Latin America, as well as the largest cargo operator in Chile and most of the South American markets that we serve. We hold the largest market share of passenger traffic to and from Chile, Peru and Ecuador, as well as the largest market share of domestic passenger traffic in both Chile and Peru. More recently, we have also achieved a solid and growing position in the Argentine domestic market through Lan Argentina and in the Argentine international market through Lan Argentina and our other passenger airlines. We are also strengthening our presence in the Ecuadorian market, where we began domestic passenger operations on April 6, 2009. We entered the Colombian domestic and international market through the acquisition of Aires on November 26, 2010. During 2011 we worked on restructuring the companyTAM route, Rio de Janeiro-Orlando, in order to achieve LAN’s standards. Aspromote Florida as a result, atgetaway from Latin America to the end 2011, we rebrandedUnited States.

LATAM’s more moderate traffic growth of 2.5% during 2013 responded to a slight decrease of 0.4% in passenger capacity during the company to Lan Colombia. We are also the leading air cargo operator within, to andyear, resulting from South America, and we are consolidating our leadership through new cargo operations in Colombia andcapacity rationalization initiatives both in the Brazilian domestic market, where capacity decreased by 8.4% in the year and in our long haul operations, where capacity decreases were focused on routes from Brazil to Europe.

During 2013, the combined yield for the international and domestic passenger businesses decreased by 2.0% as wellcompared to the pro forma yield in 2012, reflecting the depreciation of the Brazilian real and local currencies in our Spanish speaking countries and a more challenging competitive environment in the region.

Passenger revenues increased by 0.4% to US$11,061.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to pro forma revenues of US$11,017.0 million for 2012. This was a result of the increase of 2.5% in passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs), partially offset by a 2.0% decrease in yields, as described above.

Cargo Operations

Our cargo operations depend on exports from and imports to South America and are, therefore, affected by economic conditions, foreign exchange rates, changes in international trade, the health of particular industries, competition and fuel prices (which we usually pass on to our customers through a cargo fuel surcharge). Cargo revenues are also affected by our capacity, traffic, load factors and yield. Our capacity is measured in terms of available ton kilometers, or ATKs, which represents the number of tons available for the transportation of cargo, multiplied by the kilometers flown. We measure traffic in revenue ton kilometers, or RTKs, as the amount of cargo loads (measured in tons) multiplied by the number of kilometers flown. Load factors represent RTKs (traffic) as a percentage of ATKs (capacity), or the percentage of our cargo capacity that is actually used to transport cargo for our customers. Finally, we use yield, or revenue from cargo operations divided by RTKs, to measure the average amount that our customers pay to transport one ton of cargo one kilometer. See “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data.” The following discussion of revenue drivers in our cargo operations including changes in capacity, traffic, load factors and yields, is based on our unaudited pro forma operating results for 2012 and 2011 where specified.

We operate in many of the major import and export markets in South America. In particular, in 2012, the agreements implemented relative to the TAM’s cargo network in Brazil significantly expanded our cargo capacity and route coverage. At the end of 2012, this additional cargo capacity represented approximately 32% of all LATAM Cargo capacity. In addition to providing additional cargo routes within Brazil, the combination of LAN and TAM also provided additional international destinations, including Milan, Paris and London.

The relative size of inbound and outbound flows to a particular market or route is a key element in cargo operations, as the unidirectional nature of freight flows requires airlines to create routes that combine origin-destination pairs that feature complementary freight flows. Changes in macroeconomic conditions may lead to major fluctuations in cargo flows to and from Latin America, therefore requiring continuous route and capacity adjustments.

We have designed our operations, route network and commercial strategies with the flexibility required to respond to changing conditions. The flexibility that our integrated business model allows based on adaptation to changes in market trends was key for LATAM’s operations in 2009, when the business was affected by the contraction of import and export markets in response to the global economic crisis and continued contraction in salmon exports from Chile as a result of an increased presenceoutbreak of the Infectious Salmon Anemia virus during 2007. LATAM received two Boeing 777 freighters in 2009, at a time where there was a decrease in demand in cargo operations. These aircraft were utilized to increase capacity, mainly on routes between South America and Europe and to expand LATAM’s cargo coverage beyond the region and strengthen its cargo services to Europe. As the economy started to recover at the end of 2009, LATAM was able to take advantage of the new capacity and growth opportunities in various markets in 2010 and 2011. Accordingly, the cargo business played an important role in driving LATAM’s revenue growth in 2010 and 2011. Since 2012, however, a slowdown in world macroeconomic conditions has significantly impacted cargo volumes, specifically in Europe and Asia. This slowdown has also affected South America, mainly in the southbound routes where LATAM Cargo carries imports of value added goods into Brazil. This weak macroeconomic environment also brought new competition to the region during 2012 and 2013, with airlines carriers such as Emirates and Cargo Lux, increasing the available capacity in the region and adding pressure to cargo yields. This weak cargo trend has continued during 2013.

As a result of these factors, cargo traffic decreased by 0.5% in 2013 as compared to pro forma traffic for 2012. Cargo yields decreased by 3.5% compared to 2012, reflecting the decline in demand on routes to Latin America, especially Brazil; increased competitive pressures from regional and international cargo carriers; and the effect of the depreciation of the Brazilian real on cargo revenues in that market. LATAM increased its capacity by approximately 0.1%, resulting in a 0.3 point decrease in its cargo load factor to 58.4% in 2013. LATAM’s cargo operations transported 1,171 thousand tons of freight in 2013, an increase of 1.5% as compared to the total (pro forma) freight transported in 2012.

As a result of decreased traffic and yields, LATAM’s pro forma cargo revenues decreased by 4.0% to US$1,863.0 million in 2013 as compared to pro forma cargo sales of US$1,939.8 million in 2012, representing 14.4% of the Company’s total revenues in 2013.

Cost Structure

LATAM Airlines Group’s costs are driven by the size of our operations, fuel prices, fleet costs and exchange rates. Our internationaloperating expenses are calculated in accordance with IFRS and domesticcomprise the sum of the line items “cost of sales” plus “distribution costs” plus “administrative expenses” plus “other operating expenses”, as shown on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income. These operating expenses include wages and benefits, fuel, depreciation and amortization, commissions to agents, aircraft rentals, other rental and landing fees, passenger services, aircraft maintenance, and other operating expenses. The following discussion of cost drivers is based on our unaudited pro forma operating results where specified.

As an airline, we are subject to fluctuations in costs that are outside our control, particularly fuel prices and exchange rates. However, we manage part of our exposure to changes in fuel prices through a fuel-hedging policy and the use of pass-through mechanisms on both the passenger and cargo operations have increased substantially overbusinesses. To mitigate the past five yearsimpact in terms of capacity, traffic and revenue. Between 2005 and 2011,exchange rate fluctuations on our passenger capacity grew 82.8% andnet income, during 2013 we entered into a financial derivative contract to hedge more than 50% of our cargo capacity grew 50.0%.operating exposure to the Brazilian real in 2014.

Diversified Revenue Base from both Passenger and Cargo Operations

We believe that onePersonnel expenses are another significant component of our distinct competitive advantagesoverall costs. Because a significant portion of our labor costs is denominated in Chilean pesos and in Brazilian reais, appreciation of these currencies against the dollar as well as increases in local inflation rates can result in increased costs in dollar terms and can negatively affect our abilityresults. Depreciation of local currencies results in decreases in costs in dollars. However, this cost pressure is mitigated by the partial natural hedge between the currencies of denomination of our total operating revenues and expenses.

Commissions paid to profitably integrate our scheduled passengertravel and cargo operations.agents also comprise a significant cost to us. We takecompete with other airlines over the amount of commission we pay per sale, particularly in connection with special programs and marketing efforts, and to maintain competitive incentives with travel agents. In Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, Peru and Colombia we pay 1% commission to travel agencies and agents. In Brazil, the industry standard is not to provide any commissions directly to travel agencies and agents.

Fleet related expenses, namely aircraft rentals and depreciation are another significant cost. These costs are mainly fixed and can be reduced on a per unit basis by achieving higher daily aircraft utilization rates. Following the combination of LAN and TAM, the percentage of our fleet under operating leases increased from 34.8% in 2011 to 37.6% in 2012, and was 37.8% as of December 31, 2013.

To manage our cost structure, we have launched various efficiency-related initiatives aimed at reducing fuel consumption and increasingly incorporating efficient aircraft into account potential cargo services when planningthe fleet.

Higher aircraft utilization has been an important source of improved efficiency. Our utilization strategy in 2012 was coupled with the addition of new passenger routes and also serve certain dedicated cargo routes using our freight aircraft, when needed. By adding cargo revenues to our existing passenger service,network, which enabled us to leverage our human and physical assets for increased efficiency as well as increasing frequencies. In our domestic operations we are ablehave also worked consistently to increase the productivityimprove our cost structure. The key elements of our assets and maximize revenue, which has historically covered fixed operating expenses per flight, lowered break-even load factors and enhanced per flight profitability. Additionally, this revenue diversification helps offset seasonal revenue fluctuations and reduces the volatility of our business over time. As of December 2011, passenger revenues accounted for 70.1% of total revenues and cargo revenues accounted for 27.6% of total revenues.

Attractive Cost Structure with High Utilization of our Assets and Productive Personnel

We believe that we have a highly competitive cost structure with a cost per ATK of 51.4 cents in 2011. Our cost advantage arises mainly from our productive and committed employees, high aircraft utilization, modern and fuel-efficient fleet and cost-conscious culture. Our wages and labor costs accounted for approximately 19.6% of total costs in 2011, which we believe is a lower percentage than that of many other U.S. and European carriers.

Furthermore, our itineraries and aircraft rotations are designed to maximize aircraft utilization. During 2011, our long-haul aircraft (Boeing 767-300 passenger and Airbus A340-300s) operated an average of approximately thirteen hours per day. We also implemented a newdomestic business model forhave focused on improving short-haul operations in 2007; as a result, by the end of 2011 we increased the utilization of our narrow body aircraft to reach 9.5 hours per day. In May 2008, we completed the phase-out of the Boeing B737-200 from our fleet. Our short haul fleet is now entirely composed of Airbus A320-Family Aircraft with the exception of Lan Colombia’s fleet.service standards, reducing sales and distribution costs through higher Internet penetration and reduced agency commission, improving turnaround time, and increasing self check-in service through web check-in and kiosks at airports.

In addition, during 2009 we continued with the implementation ofbegan to implement LEAN, a system that seeks to improvefor improving our processes by eliminating activities that do not add value to processes (thus increasing the value of each activity and suppressing those that are superfluous), which reducesthereby allowing us to reduce costs, improves efficiency and increasesincrease customer satisfaction. To improve fuel efficiency, in 2009 we began a program to install winglets on LAN’s existing Boeing 767 aircraft fleet, which we continue to install as we receive new 767 aircraft. The adoptioninstallation of winglets on our Boeing 767 aircraft helped us to achieve average fuel efficiencies of approximately 5% per aircraft per year since implementation.

During 2013, and after a process of reviewing its post-merger fleet plan and fleet requirements, LATAM decided to undertake a broad fleet restructuring plan with the aim of reducing the number of models operated, phasing out less efficient models and allocating aircraft best suited to each one of its markets. As a result, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013 and for approximately the next thirty months, the Company will phase out all of its A330s, A340s, B737s and Q400 and Q200s. During 2013, this system constitutedprocess generated non-recurring costs of US$29 million resulting from penalties related to anticipated redeliveries and other redelivery expenses.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased by 3.9% as compared to pro forma cost of sales for 2012, mainly resulting from a redesigningdecrease of 7.7% in aircraft fuel expenses, both because of lower prices and consumption; and a decrease of 4.0% in wages and benefits related to a lower headcount.

Outlook

Our long-term strategy is aimed at consolidating LATAM Airlines Group’s position as the preferred passenger and cargo airline group in South America. The creation of LATAM Airlines Group in 2012, following the combination of LAN and TAM, has created the largest airline group in Latin America, with the largest fleet and number of destinations and, we believe, superior service standards. This combination has enabled LATAM to serve all major domestic markets across Latin America and has positioned us to compete in an increasingly consolidating global airline industry.

We will continue to expand our network by further developing our existing routes, adding new destinations, developing new alliances, and entering new markets. We expect our strong brand recognition, coupled with a continuous effort to improve service standards to drive increased customer preference, ultimately leading to strong market shares in the markets we serve. Our product and service design is aimed at providing passengers and cargo customers with differentiated offerings that provide valuable solutions to the needs of each of our customer types. We also aim to have products and services that evolve together with changes in technology, market conditions and competitive actions. We plan to maintain a highly competitive cost structure by leveraging our cost-conscious culture, incorporating new technologies and practices, and by identifying and implementing cost-reduction and efficiency-related initiatives. We believe that a focus on flexibility will enable us to effectively react to changing market conditions.

Our results will be mainly determined by the expansion of our current network, the evolution of our market share in our main markets, our level of success in entering new markets, the successful combination between LAN and TAM and achievement of the expected synergies, the continued implementation of new efficiency-related programs, the continued implementation of our business model for short-haul operations, and fuel price levels.

We plan to reinforce our regional network through the addition of new frequencies on our current routes and the addition of new destinations. We will also seek to enter into new alliances in both the passenger and cargo business, especially to build up our presence in new markets.

Competitive activity in key markets has increased gradually in recent years, and we expect it to continue doing so in the future. Nevertheless, we expect to maintain solid market shares based on offering attractive value propositions that combine broad international and domestic networks, a strong customer focus and pricing.

We are also working to increase our efficiency by streamlining our support processes, reducing commercial costs, and continuing with the implementation of our domestic business model on short-haul operations. Further efficiencies should arise from economies of scale, as growth in the passenger business accompanied by controlled fixed costs will serve to reduce our fixed cost base. In both the passenger and the cargo businesses, we also expect increased efficiency as we replace older aircraft with new and more fuel-efficient Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 models and the Airbus A350, and from fuel efficiency-related initiatives such as installing winglets on the B767 fleet.

We will continue to focus on optimizing the utilization of the belly capacity of our wide body aircraft for the transportation of cargo, in order to benefit from the competitive advantage provided by our integrated passenger and cargo business model.

Overall, we believe that permits solving problemsthese initiatives will enable us to successfully respond to growth opportunities, maintain a solid competitive position, and manage operating expenses.

Our financial performance will also continue to be significantly affected by jet fuel prices. These prices rose significantly until mid-2008, which led to a sharp rise in our fuel expenditures, but significantly declined in 2009. During 2010 and 2011 fuel prices recovered from the 2009 decline and again rose significantly, as a result of increased demand coupled with geopolitical conflicts that may occuraffected global fuel supply. In 2012 jet fuel prices fluctuated in a stable range, having a lower impact in our fuel expenses as compared to prior years. At the end of 2013, fuel prices were high principally because of positive signs of growth in the United States, and presently, fuel is following the same trend, mainly because of the Ukraine/Russia conflict and also because of positive signs of growth in the United States and Europe. Although we have implemented a number of strategies to mitigate the impact of the volatility of fuel prices, it is unlikely that we will be able to fully protect ourselves against the volatility of fuel costs.

Net Income

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 equaled US$ 263.8 million, representing an increase of US$ 258.2 million from a net loss of US$5.6 million in 2012. Net loss attributable to the parents of the company rose to US$ 281.1 million in 2013 from US$19.1 million in 2012. Results for the 2013 year were negatively impacted by a foreign exchange loss of US$ 482.2 million mainly resulting from the depreciation of the Brazilian real in the year. On the other hand, in 2012 and 2013, LATAM incurred US$59.2 and US$56.0 million, respectively, of non-recurring expenses related to the merger and integration costs, and an accounting charge of US$70 million related to the increase in the Chilean corporate tax rate from 17% to 20% during 2012.

Our total operating revenues increased by 33.1% to US$ 12,924.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to revenues of US$ 9,710.4 million in 2012, reflecting the consolidation of TAM’s revenues in 2012 only since June 23. The 2013 increase in operating revenues was attributable to a 38.8% increase in passenger revenues, and a 6.9% increase in cargo revenues. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 85.6% and 14.4% of total operating revenues in 2013, respectively.

Passenger traffic and capacity in 2013 increased significantly following the full year consolidation of TAM’s domestic and international operations. Capacity increases in 2013 were mainly focused on domestic routes in our Spanish speaking countries and regional routes within Latin America, and were partially offset by decreased capacity on Brazilian domestic routes and long haul routes, especially to Europe.

Operating expenses also increased as a result of our increased operations following the combination with TAM on June 22, 2012.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased by 33.1% to US$12,924.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$9,710.4 million in 2012. Our consolidated passenger revenues increased by 38.8% to US$11,061.6 million in 2013 from US$7,966.8 million in 2012, primarily as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s revenue for 2012 since June 23.

Cargo revenues increased by 6.9%, to US$1,863.0 million in 2013 from US$1,743.5 million in 2012, also as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s cargo revenues for full year 2013. The slight increase in cargo revenues in spite of TAM’s cargo integration is a result of a weak global cargo scenario which has impacted both cargo traffic and yields.Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased by 31.7% to US$10,054.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$7,634.5 million in 2012, mainly as a result of increased operations due to the complete consolidation of TAM’s costs for year 2013. As a percentage of total operating revenues, cost of sales decreased from 78.6% in 2012 to 77.8% in 2013.

The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which increased by 28.5% to US$4,414.2 million in 2013 as a result of higher fuel consumption related to the incorporation of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012, which was partially offset by lower average fuel prices and efficiency initiatives. In addition, LATAM recognized a net gain of US$19.0 million in fuel hedging in 2013, compared to the fuel hedge loss of US$1.8 million in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization increased by US$270.6 million amounting to US$1,041.7 million, which represents an increase of 35.1% mainly due to the incorporation of all of TAM’s fleet (including new TAM fleet deliveries in 2012) starting June 23, 2012.

Wages and benefits increased by US$449.8 million amounting to US$1,881.0 million, which represents an increase of 31.4%, mainly due to the incorporation of TAM’s employees following the combination of LAN and TAM in 2012.

Other rental and landing fees increased by 30.4% to US$1,373.1 million in 2013 from U$1,052.6 million in 2012, resulting from higher fees related to a larger operation with the consolidation of TAM’s fees for full year 2013.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 60.3%, from US$297.6 million in 2012 to US$477.1 million in 2013, as a result of higher costs related to a larger fleet and higher maintenance costs related to redeliveries of aircraft.

Aircraft rentals increased by 42.8% to US$441.1 million in 2013 from US$308.8 million in 2012, primarily due to the complete consolidation of TAM’s fleet for full year 2013 and the net increase of aircraft under operating leases during the executionyear.

Passenger service expenses increased by 38.2%, to US$331.4 million in 2013 compared to US$239.8 million in 2012, mainly resulting from the increase in passengers transported after the combination of any process, suchLAN and TAM.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased by 38.3% from US$2,075.9 million in 2012 to US$2,870.4 million in 2013.

Other Consolidated Results

Other operating income increased in 2013 by US$121.4 million, from US$220.2 million to US$341.6 million, due to the incorporation of TAM’s other revenues since June 22, 2012, a US$28.7 million revenue from Multiplus’breakage and non-air redemptions, and an income for recognizing US$10.8 million and US$ 8.2 million generated as a result of the sale and lease-back of ten Airbus A330 aircraft, maintenance. The foregoing rendersand two Airbus A318 aircraft and an engine during the daily taskssecond quarter of the year.

Distribution costs increased by 27.7% from US$803.6 million in 2012 to US$1,025.9 million in 2013, as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s results only starting in June 23, 2012.

Administrative expenses increased by 27.8% from US$888.7 million in 2012 to US$1,136.1 million in 2013, mainly due to an increase of 30.6% in wages and processes carried out withinbenefits resulting from the higher number of employees following the combination of LAN and TAM in 2012.

Other operating expenses increased by 31.1% from US$311.8 million in 2012 to US$408.7 million in 2013, as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses and costs related to tours and travel services, related to the integration of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012.

Financial income decreased to US$72.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$77.5 million in 2012, due to a lower average cash balance and interest rates during the period.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) increased by 57.0% to US$462.5 million in 2013 from US$292.6 million in 2012 due to higher average long-term debt related to fleet financing mainly related to the consolidation of TAM’s fleet.

Exchange rate differences decreased from a gain of US$66.7 million in 2012 to a loss of US$482.2 million in 2013, mainly resulting from the depreciation if the Brazilian real in the period.

Under other gains (losses), the Company recorded a net loss of US$55.4 million in 2013 as compared to a net loss of US$45.8 million in 2012.

Income tax credit for 2013 amounted to US$ 20.1 million as compared to an income tax expense of US$102.4 million in 2012. For more efficient. Dueinformation, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Taxes” below and Note 19 to its implementation,our audited consolidated financial statements.

Net loss

Net loss decreased by 46.7% to a 40%loss of US$263.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from a pro forma loss of US$494.9 million in 2012. Net loss attributable to the owners of the parent decreased by 46.3% to US$281.1 million from a pro forma net loss of US$523.1 million in 2012. Results for year 2013 were negatively impacted by a foreign exchange loss of US$ 482.2 million primarily resulting from the 10.4% depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 as compared to 2012. Results for 2013 also include US$ 29 million in non-recurring costs related to the restructuring of LATAM’s fleet plan. For more information, see “—Business strategy – Fleet restructuring plan”.

LATAM’s total operating revenues slightly decreased by 0.2% during 2013 as compared to pro forma revenues for 2012, reflecting the rationalization of our domestic Brazil and international operations and a still challenging scenario in the cargo business. These variations include the negative impact of the 10.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 as compared to 2012 in revenues denominated in that currency. The decrease in maintenance delaysoperating revenues was attributable to a decrease of 4.0% in cargo revenues, partially offset by an increase of 0.4% in passenger revenues. Passenger and cargo accounted to 85.6% and 14.4% of total operating revenues, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Total operating expenses decreased by 3.9%, mainly due to lower fuel expenses, reflecting the 2.2% decrease in consumption and the 5.6% decrease in fuel price (after hedge). Lower wages and benefits of 4.0% in the year also positively impacted our operating expenses in 2013 as compared to pro forma operating expenses in 2012.

Operating Revenues

LATAM’s total operating revenues decreased 0.2% to US$ 12,924.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from pro forma operating revenues of US$ 12,956.7 million in 2012, as a result of a 4.0% decrease in cargo revenues, partially offset by a 0.4% increase in passenger revenues.

Passenger revenues increased by 0.4% to US$ 11,061.6 million in 2013 as compared to pro forma passenger revenues of US$ 11.017.0 million in 2012, as a result of an increase of 2.5% in passenger traffic, partially offset by a decrease of 2.0% in passenger yields. Load factors increased by 2.3 percentage points from 78.6% (pro forma) to 80.8%, as the increase in traffic was despite the 0.4% decrease in capacity. Overall, revenues per ASK increased by 0.8% as compared to pro forma revenues per ASK for 2013, including the effect of the devaluation of the Brazilian real on revenues denominated in that currency during year 2013. During 2013, the 0.4% decrease in capacity as compared to pro forma capacity for 2012 was mainly a result of a strong decrease in capacity of 8.4% in the Brazilian domestic market and a 40% reductionrationalization of our international routes, mainly long haul routes from Brazil to Europe. This contraction was partially offset by still strong capacity increases of 11.0% in our Spanish speaking domestic markets in the turn-around timeperiod. Total passenger yields decreased mostly as a result of the depreciation of the Brazilian real and other currencies in certain checksLAN’s domestic markets.

Cargo revenues decreased by 4.0% to US$ 1,863.0 million in Chile2013 from pro forma cargo revenues of US$1,939.8 million in 2012, as a result of a decline of 3.5% in cargo yields and Peru. LEAN also allowed usa 0.5% decrease in 2011traffic. Cargo demand continued to supportbe weak in this period, in particular on import routes into Latin America. Additionally, the Company’s high growth,decline in yields reflects the 10.4% depreciation of the Brazilian real on cargo revenues in the Brazilian domestic market during 2013 as compared to 2012, and competitive pressures from regional and international cargo carriers.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased by streamlining4.6% to US$10,054.2 million for the pilot training process,year ended December 31, 2013 from a pro forma cost of sales of US$10,536.7 million in 2012, mainly as a result of lower fuel expenses in the year. Cost of sales was positively impacted by the 10.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 as compared to 2012 in costs denominated in that currency. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales decreased from 81.3% in 2012 to 77.8% in 2013.

Aircraft fuel expense decreased by 7.7% to US$ 4,414.2 million in 2013 compared to a pro forma fuel expense of US$ 4,780.3 million in 2012. Fuel expense decreased both because of a decrease of 2.2% in consumption and a decrease in the cost of fuel. The decrease in consumption goes in line with the rationalization of passenger and cargo operations which resulted in more pilots trained during that year. Finally, it allowed the Company to reduce CO2 emissions, by redesigning processes in various areas that result in a decrease of 0.2% in our ASK-equivalents in the year as compared to 2012 (pro forma), and ongoing fuel efficiency initiatives. The into-wing (fuel price

plus taxes and transportation costs) 2013 average final price was US$3.50 per gallon (without hedge), representing a 5.2% decrease from the 2012 average. In addition, during 2013 the Company recognized US$19.0 million in fuel hedge gains as compared to fuel hedge losses of US$ 1.8 million in year 2012.

Wages and benefits decreased 6.4% to US$1,881.0 million in 2013 compared to US$2,009.0 million in 2012, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Brazilian real during 2013 as compared to 2012. This effect was partially offset by the increase in the average wages.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by 4.2% to US$1,041.7 million in 2013 from US$1,087.0 million in 2012 (pro forma), mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Brazilian real in the year as compared to 2012. Excluding this effect, depreciation would have increased slightly as a result of the incorporation of twenty-five aircraft from the Airbus A320 family, four Boeing 767 aircraft, two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and two Boeing 787-800 aircraft to our total fleet (on and off balance sheet) during the year; partially offset by the phase out of thirteen Airbus A320 family aircraft, one Airbus A340 aircraft, one Boeing 767 aircraft, three Bombardier Dhc8-200 aircraft and one Bombardier Dhc-400 aircraft during the year.

Other rental and landing fees decreased by 0.3% to US$ 1,373.1 million in 2013 from pro forma rentals and landing fees of US$ 1,377.1 million in 2012, mainly as a result of lower aeronautical fees.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 12.4% to US$477.1 million in 2013 from US$424.4 million in 2012 (pro forma) mainly due to more than 10aircraft redeliveries, which resulted in increased maintenance expenses for required checks prior to the return of such aircraft to lessors during the year. This effect was partially offset by the depreciation of the Brazilian real on maintenance done in Brazil.

Aircraft rentals increased 4.5% to US$ 441.1 million gallonsin 2013 from pro forma rentals of US$ 422.0 million in 2012, explained by the incorporation under operating leases of five Airbus A320 family aircraft, ten Airbus A330 aircraft, two Boeing B777 aircraft and two Boeing B787 aircraft aircraft to our fleet. This effect was partially offset by the phase out of aircraft under operating leases, including eight Airbus A320 family aircraft, one Airbus A340 aircraft, one Boeing B737 aircraft, two Boeing B767 aircraft, three Bombardier Dhc 8-200 aircraft and one Bombardier Dhc 8-400 aircraft during the same period.

Passenger service expenses increased by 5.2% to US$ 331.4 million from pro forma passenger services of US$ 314.9 million in 2012, mainly resulting from the increase of 3.1% in passengers transported and increases in passenger concessions.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased by 22.2% from US$2,420.1 million in 2012 (pro forma) to US$2,870.4 million in 2013.

Other Consolidated Results

Other operating income increased by US$ 76.2 million to US$341.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$265.4 million in 2012 (pro forma), mainly as a result of increased income of US$28.7 million from Multiplus resulting from breakage and non-air redemptions during 2013 and the income of US$10.8 million and US$ 8.2 million generated as a result of the sale and lease-back of ten Airbus A330 aircraft, and two Airbus A318 aircraft and an engine, during the second quarter of the year, respectively.

Distribution costs decreased by 3.2% from US$1,059.7 million in 2012 (pro forma) to US$1,025.9 million in 2013. This decrease was related to lower commissions to agents (related to both passenger and cargo sales), which decreased 2.0% to US$408.7 million in 2013 from US$417.1 million in 2012.

Administrative expenses decreased by 3.3% from US$1,174.8 million in 2012 (pro forma) to US$1,136.1 million in 2013 due to lower wages and benefits expenses resulting from a lower headcount in the period and the 10.4% depreciation of the Brazilian real as compared to 2012, partially offset by the recognition of US$15.5 million in compensations related to the voluntary leave and retirement program of 800 employees at TAM.

Other operating expenses increased by 12.1% from US$364.5 million in 2012 to US$408.7 million in 2013.

Financial income decreased by 37.9% to US$72.8 million in 2013 from US$117.2 million in 2012, mainly due to a lower average cash balance and lower interest rates during the period.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) increased by 4.1% to US$462.5 million in 2013 from US$444.2 million in 2012 (pro forma) mainly as a result of a new debt profile, which includes the securitized bond issued in November 2013.

Exchange rate differences resulted in a loss of US$482.2 million in 2013 compared to a loss of US$290.1 million in 2012. This variation is mainly explained due to a depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 compared to 2012 and the depreciation of local currencies in LAN’s Spanish speaking countries in the period.

Income tax credit amounted to US$20.1 million in 2013 as compared to a pro forma tax credit of US$69.7 million in 2012. For more information, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Taxes” below and Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects the following adjustments:

a)Exchange rate and reclassifications: TAM’s functional and presentation currency under IFRS is the Brazilian real. Solely for the purpose of preparing these pro forma adjustments, TAM’s income statements have been translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for each quarter. Furthermore, in order to conform TAM’s financial figures to LATAM’s financial statement presentation, certain reclassifications were made to TAM’s income statement. In addition, TAM historical information for 2012 and prior periods had certain errors that were revised for 2012. For more information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Accounting Impact of the Business Combination.”

b)Property, plant and equipment (Fleet, including finance leases): The fair value of TAM’s aircraft recorded as property, plant and equipment was decreased to reflect the fair value on the date of the business combination. As a result of this adjustment and adjustments related to changes in the method of depreciation of aircraft components, major maintenance associated with those components, useful lives and residual values, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects an increase in cost of sales of US$43.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The details of the differences in depreciation methods are as follows:

I.TAM does not recognize and separately depreciate major maintenance components of aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment for which they hold power by the hour maintenance contracts; such maintenance costs are recorded as a liability in the balance sheet and expense in the statement of income as hours are flown and cycles incurred. See pro forma adjustment (e) where this provision in TAM’s statement of income is reversed. LATAM recognizes separately and depreciates all such maintenance components over their technical useful lives as measured in flight hours or cycles. The effects on depreciation of applying LATAM’s policy to TAM’s aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment are included in the pro forma adjustment noted in (b) above.

II.The pro forma adjustments noted in (b) above include the effects of reassigning residual values to TAM’s aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment for the purposes of calculating depreciation. Such residual values have been determined based on the expected market value of each aircraft or engine at the end of its expected useful life.

III.For the purposes of calculating the above pro forma adjustments to depreciation, the fair value of TAM’s aircraft have been separated into components using the methodology and percentage benchmarks which LATAM has developed for the purposes of depreciating its fleet of aircraft and engines.

IV.The useful lives applied to depreciate the maintenance related components of TAM’s aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment for the purposes of the Pro Forma Statement of Income have been determined, where applicable, based on the standards used by LATAM for each specific model of aircraft and engine. The useful lives applied to non-maintenance related components have been maintained as those applied by LATAM and TAM in each of their financial statements, as these useful lives are dependent on the contractual conditions of ownership or leasing of each individual aircraft and engine.

c)Property, plant and equipment (Land and buildings): The carrying value of TAM’s land and buildings was decreased to reflect the fair value on the date of the transaction. As a result of this adjustment, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects a decrease in depreciation of US$1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

d)Aircraft operating leases: The provision for major maintenance on TAM’s aircraft under operating leases with time & materials maintenance contracts was increased, in order to account for these maintenance costs in a manner consistent with that applied by LATAM in its consolidated financial statements. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects an increase in cost of sales of US$46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and an increase in other losses of US$7.8 million. TAM does not establish a provision for these costs but rather records them in its statement of income when such costs are incurred. LATAM records a provision for these costs based on flight hours and cycles incurred from the date on which the aircraft is first leased and utilizes this provision as and when related major maintenance activity occurs or reimbursements are required to be made to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

e)The provision for maintenance costs relating to TAM aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment was decreased to account for these costs in a manner consistent with that applied in the LATAM consolidated financial statements. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects a decrease in cost of sales of US$39.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. As discussed in the pro forma adjustments noted in in (b)(I) above, LATAM’s accounting policy for aircraft and engines recorded in property plant and equipment provides for the major maintenance components of such aircraft to be designated as components within property plant and equipment and depreciated over their technical useful lives as measured in flight hours or cycles. TAM accounts for such costs for aircraft and engines under power by the hour contracts in its financial statements by creating a liability and recording the corresponding cost in its statement of income for each hour or cycle flown.

f)LAN and TAM incurred a total of US$59.2 million in one-time costs directly attributable to the business combination for the year ended December 31, 2012. These costs relate primarily to fees paid to legal and other professional advisors. These non-recurring costs and the related tax effects have been eliminated in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income. Additionally, a fair value adjustment of US$16.7 million relating to credit card chargebacks increased administrative expenses for the year. On a net basis, these adjustments resulted in a decrease in administrative expenses of US$42.4 million.

g)Hedge Accounting: The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects an increase in interest income of US$13.2 million for the year 2012 and a decrease in interest expense of US$7.6 million for year 2012, to account for TAM fuel hedging costs in a manner consistent with that applied by LATAM in its consolidated financial statements. Fuel hedging contracts are not subject to hedge accounting at TAM, but LATAM accounts for these contracts under hedge accounting.

h)Financial liabilities: The difference between the fair value and the face amount of borrowings on the date of the business combination is amortized as an increase in financial costs over the remaining term of the borrowings based on their respective maturity dates. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects higher financial costs of US$9.7 million for the period the year ended December 31, 2012. On a net basis, when taken together with the decrease in interest expense as a result of TAM fuel hedging costs adjustments described in (f) above, the unaudited pro forma statement of income reflects an aggregate increase in financial costs of US$2.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2012.

i)Income Taxes: The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects a decrease in income tax expense of US$3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. These adjustments correspond to the deferred income tax effects of the purchase accounting and accounting policy adjustments to TAM’s results. The deferred income tax effects have been calculated by applying the Brazilian statutory income tax rate of 34%, and the effective tax rate of LAN to the expenses corresponding to the Company.

j)Earnings per share: Basic and diluted pro forma earnings per share have been calculated for the year ended December 31, 2012 based on the assumption that the shares issued in order to consummate the transaction had been issued at January 1, 2012.

Net (Loss)/Income

Net income decreased by 101.9% to a loss of US$6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from an income of US$321 million in 2011. Net income attributable to the owners of the parent decreased by 105.9% to a loss of US$19 million in 2012 from an income of US$321 million in 2011. Results for the 2012 year were negatively impacted by a net loss of US$45 million related to the business combination with TAM and integration costs of US$47 million, due to the combination of LAN and TAM on June 22, 2012. In addition, LATAM recorded an accounting charge of US$70 million related to the increase in the Chilean corporate tax rate from 17% to 20% during 2012.

LATAM’s total operating revenues increased by 73.9% during 2012, reflecting the consolidation of TAM’s revenues from June 23, 2012, as well as solid upward demand trends in our passenger business. The increase in operating revenues was attributable to an increase in passenger and cargo revenues of 98.7% and 10.6%, respectively. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 82% and 18% of total operating revenues in 2012, respectively.

Passenger traffic and capacity increased significantly in 2012 following the consolidation of TAM’s domestic and international operations. Other capacity increases were mainly focused on domestic routes within Chile, regional routes within Latin America, and long-haul routes to the United States, and were partially offset by decreased capacity on Brazilian domestic routes.

Operating expenses also increased as a result of our increase in operations (including a larger fleet) following the combination with TAM on June 22, 2012.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased 73.9% to US$9,710 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from US$5,585 million in 2011. Our consolidated passenger revenues increased by 98.7% to US$7,967 million in 2012 from US$4,009 million in 2011, primarily as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s revenue from June 23, 2012. These consolidated revenues incorporate US$3,645 million as a result of the business combination with TAM. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase in passenger revenues is mainly attributable to an increase of 12.0% in passenger capacity, as measured in ASKs, and a 0.9% increase in unit revenue per ASK.

Cargo revenues increased by 10.6% to US$1,743 million in 2012 from US$1,576 million in 2011, also as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s cargo revenues from June 23, 2012. These consolidated Cargo revenues incorporate US$196 million as a result of the combination with TAM. Excluding this effect, cargo revenues decreased 2.2%.

Other operating income also increased by US$87 million to US$133 million in 2012 from US$220 million in 2011, due primarily to the sale of two properties owned by Inmobiliaria Aeronautica S.A., an affiliate of LATAM, and the sale of a Boeing 767-200 and three Airbus A318s. As a result of the combination with TAM, US$50 million in other operating income relating to TAM has been included in our consolidated results.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased by 87.2% to US$7,634 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from US$4,078 million in 2011, mainly as a result of increase in operations due to the consolidation of TAM’s costs from June 23, 2012. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales increased from 73.0% in 2011 to 78.6 % in 2012.

The table below presents cost of sales information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 actual.

The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which increased by 96.3% to US$3,434 million in 2012 from US$1,750 million in 2011. Fuel expenses increased mainly due to a 68.7% increase in consumption related to the incorporation of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012. Notwithstanding the incorporation of TAM’s operations, the increase reflects a rise of 7.4% in prices and 6.1% in consumption. In addition, LATAM recognized a net loss of US$1.8 million in fuel hedging, compared to a gain of US$40 million in 2011.

Wages and benefits increased 99.5% to US$1,431 million in 2012 compared to US$718 million in 2011, mainly due to the combination between LAN and TAM.

Depreciation and amortization increased by establishing clear roles, challengesUS$388 million of which US$318 million was due to the combination with TAM. This represents an increase of 98% mainly due to the incorporation in 2012 under property, plant and achievements,equipment of all of TAM’s fleet (including new TAM fleet deliveries in 2012). Notwithstanding the implementationincorporation of LEANTAM’s fleet, the increase was mainly due to the addition to the LAN fleet of three Airbus A319 aircraft, seven A320 Airbus aircraft, nine Boeing 767 aircraft, three Boeing 787 aircraft, four Boeing 777 aircraft and two Boeing 777F aircraft during 2012.

Other rental and landing fees increased by US$381 million, of which US$335 million was due to the combination with TAM. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase is largely due to higher charter aircraft rentals and aeronautical charges and handling fees, in line with the increase in the size of the LAN fleet during the year detailed above. This increase was partially offset by lower costs of aviation insurance.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 63.7%, to US$298 million in 2012 from US$182 million in 2011, with US$77 million due to the combination with TAM. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase is due to the increase in the size of the LAN fleet during the year detailed above.

Aircraft rentals increased by US$139 million, primarily due to an increase of US$133 million in aircraft rentals as a result of the combination with TAM. In addition, LATAM recently leased four Airbus A320 aircraft. This increase is partially offset by the return of three Boeing 737s and two Boeing 767s.

Passenger service expenses increased by 76.5%, to US$240 million in 2012 when compared to passenger service expenses of US$136 million in 2011. This increase was primarily due to the effect of the combination with TAM, which added US$92 million to the passenger service expenses. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase is primarily due to a 16.4% increase in the number of passengers transported, partially offset by lower passenger compensation payments.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased by 37.8% to US$2,076 million in 2012 from US$1,507 million in 2011, as the increase in total revenues in 2012 following the combination of LAN and TAM were greater than the increase in costs of sales associated with the consolidation of TAM’s operations.

Other Consolidated Results

Other operating income increased by US$87 million to US$220 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from US$133 million in 2011, due primarily to the sale of two properties owned by Inmobiliaria Aeronautica S.A. and the sale of a Boeing 767-200 and three Airbus A318s, which together amounted to approximately US$29 million. As a result of the combination with TAM, US$50 million in other operating revenue relating to TAM has had an important benefitbeen included in our consolidated results.

Distribution costs increased by 67.5% to US$804 million in 2012 from US$480 million in 2011, as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s results from June 23, 2012.

Administrative expenses increased by 119.0% to US$889 million in 2012 from US$406 million in 2011, due to the higher number of employees following the combination of LAN and TAM in 2012.

Other expenses increased by 44.4% to US$310 million in 2012 from US$214 million in 2011, as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses, and costs related to tours and travel services, related to the combination of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012.

Financial income increased to US$77 million in 2012 from US$14 million in 2011, due to a higher average cash balance during the period, following the consolidation of TAM’s results from June 23, 2012.

Financial costs increased by 112.2% to US$295 million in 2012 from US$139 million in 2011 due to higher average long-term debt related to fleet financing mainly related to the consolidation of TAM’s fleet.

Exchange rate differences increased to a gain of US$67 million in 2012 from a loss of US$0.3 million in 2011. The 2012 amount is primarily due to the consolidation of TAM operations from June 23, 2012, which are substantially conducted in Brazilian real.

Under other gains/(losses), the Company recorded a net loss of US$46 million in 2012, mainly due to aircraft sale and redelivery costs.

Income tax expenses increased by 68.9%, totaling US$103 million in 2012 as compared to US$61 million in 2011.

Accounting impact of the business combination

The merger between LAN and TAM has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, with LAN treated as the acquirer of TAM.

Consideration paid was calculated, in accordance with IFRS 3, as the sum of the fair value of the LAN shares provided and the squeeze-out of the remaining TAM shareholders. Following this criteria, the total consideration paid as of June 22, 2012 was US$ 3,782.2 million.

As a result of the consolidation, certain TAM assets and liabilities which were accounted for at historical values were incorporated into the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value, as required by applicable accounting principles. Applicable accountings standards permit a one year measurement period, requiring fair value adjustments completed during that period to be adjusted against previously reported goodwill. As of June 30, 2013, the purchase price allocation has been completed. Previously reported goodwill has been adjusted to reflect fair value changes in this one year period. Goodwill as of June 30, 2013 amounts to US$ 3,890.2 million.

The main adjustments to the balance sheet accounts of TAM as a result of the consolidation with LATAM Airlines Group were related to the fair values of the following: (i) airport slots (Congonhas, JFK and Heathrow airports); (ii) the Multiplus loyalty program; (iii) fleet; and (iv) other provisions, including legal proceedings with a probability of loss below 50%, which are not accounted for under the normal course of business but must be accounted for under a business combination, according to applicable accounting standards (IFRS 3). In addition, during the first half of 2013, the Company identified and corrected certain errors in the financial statements of TAM, which are not material for LATAM.

Retrospective revision of the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2012

As required by IFRS, the consolidated financial statements of LATAM for 2012 have been retrospectively revised to reflect the following:

(i)The fair value adjustments mentioned above, which resulted in an increase in the Company’s assets (other than goodwill) of US$ 485 million as of December 31, 2012 and an increase of US$ 1,039 million in liabilities. This resulted in US$ 19 million of lower net income for 2012.

(ii)Error corrections in TAM’s financial statements as of 2012 in a total amount of US$599 million as of December 2012, of which US$416 million are related to revenues and deferred revenues, and US$183 million are related to taxes and deferred taxes. This adjustment resulted in US$11 million of lower net income for LATAM in 2012. The corrections of these errors have been made retrospectively and are not material to LATAM. Therefore, they do not require LATAM to re-issue its 2012 financial statements.

The abovementioned errors have also been corrected for purposes of the pro forma financial statements for the first half of 2012, prior to the business combination, resulting in US$30 million of less revenue during this period.

U.S. Dollar Presentation and Price-Level Adjustments

General

Foreign currency transactions

(a)Presentation and functional currencies

The items included in the financial statements of LATAM are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of LATAM is the U.S. dollar, which is also the currency of presentation of the audited consolidated financial statements of LATAM and its subsidiaries.

(b)Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates on the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the liquidation of these transactions and from the translation, at the closing exchange rates, of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, are shown in the consolidated statement of income.

(c)Group entities

The results and financial position of all the LATAM entities (none of which utilizes the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency other than the currency of presentation are translated to the currency of presentation as follows:

(i)Assets and liabilities of each consolidated statement of financial position are translated at the closing exchange rate on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position;

(ii)The revenues and expenses of each results account are translated at monthly average rates; and

(iii)All the resultant exchange differences are shown as a separate component in net equity.

For consolidation purposes, exchange differences arising from the translation of a net investment in foreign entities (or in local entities with a functional currency different to that of the parent), and of loans and other foreign currency instruments designated as hedges for such investments, are recorded within net equity. When the investment is sold, these exchange differences are shown in the consolidated statement of income as part of the loss or gain on the sale.

Adjustments to the goodwill and fair value arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the period-end exchange rate.

Effects of Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar in terms of employee motivation.the pricing of our products, composition of our balance sheet and effects on our results of operations. Most of our revenues (42% in 2013) are in U.S. dollars or in prices pegged to the U.S. dollar and a substantial portion of our expenses (60% in 2013) is denominated in dollars or pegged to the U.S. dollar, particularly fuel costs, landing and over flight fees, aircraft rentals, insurance and aircraft components and supplies. Almost all of our liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars (75% as of December 31, 2013), including bank loans, certain air traffic liabilities, and certain amounts payable to our suppliers. As of December 31, 2013, 48% of our assets were denominated in U.S. dollars, principally aircraft, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other fixed assets. Substantially all of our commitments, including operating lease and purchase commitments for aircraft, are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Although we generally maintain our international passenger fares and cargo prices in U.S. dollars or at prices pegged to the U.S. dollar, we are exposed to foreign exchange losses and gains due to exchange rate fluctuations. We recorded a net foreign exchange profit of US$66.7 million in 2012 and a net foreign exchange loss of US$482.2 million in 2013, which are set forth in our consolidated statement of income under “Exchange rates differences.” For more information, see Notes 2.3(a) and 33 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

IFRS/Non-IFRS Reconciliation

We use “Cost per ASK-equivalent” and “Cost per ASK-equivalent excluding fuel price variations” in analyzing operating expenses on a per unit basis. “ASKs” (available seat kilometers) measures the number of seats of capacity available for the transportation of passengers multiplied by the kilometers flown. “ASK-equivalent” includes capacity for both passenger and cargo equivalent tons multiplied by the kilometers flown. The figure is obtained by adding passenger ASKs and the quotient of cargo ATKs (available ton kilometers) divided by 0.095. To obtain our unit costs, which are used by our management in the analysis of our results, we divide our “total costs” by our total ASK-equivalents. “Total costs” are calculated by starting with operating expenses as defined under IFRS and making certain adjustments for interest costs and other revenues. The cost component is further adjusted to obtain “costs per ASK-equivalents excluding fuel price variations,” in order to remove the impact of changes in fuel prices for the year. “Cost per ASK-equivalent” and “Cost per ASK-equivalent excluding fuel price variations” do not have a standardized meaning, and as such may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. These metrics should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating expenses or as indicators of performance or cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.

The table below reconciles our operating expenses (as defined by IFRS) for 2013, 2012 and 2011 to costs used in the calculation of “Cost per ASK-equivalent” and “Cost per ASK-equivalent excluding fuel price variations” for such periods. Figures for 2012 (pro forma) have been presented on a pro forma basis to include the operating data of TAM for all of 2012. Figures for LATAM 2012 (actual) correspond to LATAM’s consolidated audited financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2012, including TAM’s consolidated costs from June 23, 2012 and TAM’s third and fourth quarter operating statistics. Figures for LAN 2011 (actual) represent LAN’s historical operating expenses and statistics and do not include any costs or statistics from TAM.

In addition, LATAM continues to use revenues per ASK or ATK, as applicable, in analyzing revenues on a per unit basis, which is consistent with how LAN analyzed its revenues before the merger. To obtain unit revenues, we divide our passenger revenues by our total ASKs and our cargo revenues by our total ATKs. We use our revenues as defined under IFRS for purposes of the calculation of this metric. Revenues per ASK or ATK, as the case may be, do not have a standardized meaning, and as such may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. It is not an IFRS based measure of performance or liquidity. This metric should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues or as indicators of performance or cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

The table below shows the calculation of our revenues per ASK or ATK, as applicable, in each of the periods indicated. Figures for 2012 (pro forma) have been presented on a pro forma basis to include the revenues of TAM for 2012. Figures for LATAM 2012 (actual) correspond to LATAM’s consolidated audited financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2012, including TAM’s consolidated revenues from June 23, 2012.

Seasonality

Our operating revenues are substantially dependent on overall passenger and cargo traffic volume, which is subject to seasonal and other changes in traffic patterns. Our passenger revenues are generally higher in the first and fourth quarters of each year, during the southern hemisphere’s spring and summer. In the Brazilian passenger air transportation market, there is always a higher demand for air transportation services in the second half of the year, leaving the second quarter as the weakest one for the Company. However, the seasonality is partially mitigated by the fact of LATAM having higher than market average concentration of business travel (which is less sensitive to seasonality). Additionally, the expansion of the Company in other countries with different seasonal patterns has also moderated the overall seasonality of the passenger business.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires our management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and judgments to develop amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. We strive to maintain a process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the estimates that are required to prepare our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the consistent application of these policies enables us and our subsidiaries to provide readers of the financial statements with more useful and reliable information about our operating results and financial condition.

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different outcomes under different assumptions and conditions. For a discussion on these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The following are the accounting policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

Accounting estimates and judgments

The Company has used estimates to value and book some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments; these basically refer to:

The evaluation of possible impairment loss for certain assets.

The useful life and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets.

The criteria employed in the valuation of certain assets.

Air tickets sold that are not actually used.

The calculation of deferred income at the period-end corresponding to the valuation of kilometers or points credited to holders of the loyalty programs which have not yet been used.

The need for provisioning and where required the determination of their values.

The recoverability of deferred tax assets.

These estimates are made on the basis of the best information available on the matters analyzed.

In any case, it is possible that events will require them to be modified in the future, in which case the effects would be accounted for prospectively.

Additionally, the management has applied judgment in determining that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has control over TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries for accounting purposes and therefore has consolidated their financial statements. The above on the basis that LATAM issued their ordinary shares in exchange for all of the outstanding common and preferred shares of TAM (except those shareholders of TAM who did not accept exchange and which were subject of the squeeze-out described in Note 18.2.a), entitling LATAM to substantially all of the economic benefits that will be generated by the LATAM Group and also, consequently, exposing it to substantially all the risks incidental to the operations of TAM. This exchange aligns the economic interests of LATAM and all of its shareholders, including the TAM controlling shareholders, ensuring that the shareholders and directors of TAM will have no incentive to exercise their rights in a manner that is beneficial to TAM but detrimental to LATAM. Further, all significant actions required for the operation of the airlines require the affirmative vote of both LATAM and the TAM controlling shareholders.

In addition, LATAM is in the process of integrating the operations with TAM, and both entities will be operated as a single company. Within this, most critical airline activities will be managed in Brazil under the TAM CEO and globally by the LATAM CEO, who will be in charge of the overall operation of the LATAM Group and who will report to the LATAM board. Further, the LATAM CEO will evaluate the performance of the LATAM Group executives and, together with the LATAM board, determine compensation. Although there are restrictions on voting interests that currently may be held by foreign investors under Brazilian law, LATAM believes that the economic substance of these arrangements satisfies the requirements established by the applicable accounting standards and that consolidation by LATAM of TAM’s operations is appropriate.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues include the fair value of the proceeds received or to be received on sales of goods and rendering services in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Revenues are shown net of refunds, rebates and discounts.

(a) Rendering of services

a.1Passenger and cargo transport

We recognize passenger and cargo revenues either when the transportation service is provided or when we determine that the tickets will not be used or refunded, which, in the case of passenger revenues, reduces the air traffic liability. We estimate revenue breakage based on historical breakage experience that takes into account the aging of tickets that will not be used or refunded. Commissions payable related to such unearned earnings are shown net of the air traffic liability. Other revenues, including aircraft leases, courier, logistic and ground services, duty free sales, and storage and customs brokering, are recognized when services are provided.

The amount of passenger ticket sales not yet recognized as revenue is reflected as an air traffic liability. Air traffic liability includes estimates of the amount of future refunds and exchanges, net of forfeitures for all unused tickets once the flight date has passed. We perform periodic evaluations of this estimated liability based on actual results. Any adjustments, which can be significant, are included in the results of operations for the periods in which the evaluations are completed. These adjustments relate primarily to the differences between our estimation of certain revenue transactions and the related sales price, as well as refunds, exchanges and other items for which final settlement occurs in periods subsequent to the sale of the related tickets at amounts other than the original sales price.

Actual events and circumstances may differ from historical fare sale activity and customer travel patterns and can result in refunds, exchanges or forfeited tickets differing significantly from estimates. We evaluate our estimates periodically. If actual refunds, exchanges or forfeitures fall outside of our estimated ranges, we review our estimates and assumptions and adjust air traffic liability and passenger revenues as necessary. As with any estimates, actual results may vary from estimated amounts.

a.2Frequent flyer program

The Company has a frequent flyer program for LATAM passengers called LANPASS and a frequent flyer program for TAM passengers called TAM Fidelidade. Customers can also earn points through Multiplus, a subsidiary of TAM, which permits the accrual of points for many products and services (not just airline flights) and had more than 200 partner establishments, including the TAM Fidelidade program, as of December 31, 2013.

Both frequent flyer programs’ objective is customer loyalty through the delivery of LANPASS kilometers or Multiplus points every time that members of the program fly with the Company or its alliance partners, use the services of entities registered with the program or make purchases with an associated credit card. The kilometers/points earned can be exchanged for flights tickets or other services of associated entities.

The consolidated financial statements include LANPASS liabilities for this concept (deferred income), according to the estimate of the valuation established for the kilometers accumulated pending use at that date, in accordance with IFRIC 13: “Customer loyalty programs.” Points earned from TAM Fidelidade members are bought from Multiplus and seats redeemed are sold to Multiplus. Multiplus manages the points liabilities. Revenue from both programs are recognized once the purchased tickets are flown.

LANPASS Kilometers expire if they are not utilized over a period of three years. This period is renewable if the passenger takes a flight or meets specific requirements regarding the accumulation of kilometers through one of the partners of the program. Multiplus Points expire if they are not utilized over a period of two years, this period is not renewable.

Property, Plant and Equipment

LATAM’s land is recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the property, plant and equipment are shown, initially and subsequently, at their historic cost less the corresponding depreciation and any impairment loss.

The amount of advance payments to aircraft manufacturers are capitalized by the Company under “Construction in progress” until receipt of aircraft.

Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements and extensions) are included in the value of the initial asset or shown as a separate asset only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the elements of Property, plant and equipment are going to flow to the Company and the cost of the element can be determined reliably. The value of the component replaced is written-off in the books at the time of replacement. The rest of the repairs and maintenance are charged to the result of the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives; except in the case of certain technical components, which are depreciated on the basis of cycles and hours flown.

The residual value and useful life of assets is revised, and adjusted if necessary, once a year.

When the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, its value is reduced immediately to its recoverable amount. For more information, see Note 2.8 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Losses and gains on the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the proceeds obtained with the book value and are included in the consolidated statement of income.

Maintenance

The costs incurred for scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft’s fuselage and engines are capitalized and depreciated until the next maintenance. The depreciation rate is determined on technical grounds, according to the use of the aircraft expressed in terms of cycles and flight hours.

In case of on balance sheet aircraft, these maintenance costs are capitalized as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of off balance sheet aircraft maintenance costs are periodically provided for and recognized through profit and loss as “Cost of sales”.

The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivatives are booked initially at fair value on the date the derivative contracts are signed and later they continue to be valued at their fair value. The method for booking the resultant loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item hedged.

The Company designates certain derivatives as:

(a)Hedge of the fair value of recognized assets (“fair value hedge”);

(b)Hedge of a identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly probable transaction (“cash-flow hedge”); or

(c)Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The Company documents, at the inception of each transaction, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its objectives for managing risk and the strategy for carrying out various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the beginning and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the items being hedged.

The total fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as an Other non-current financial asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedging instrument is over 12 months, and as an Other current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the hedging instrument is less than 12 months. Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as other financial assets or liabilities, current in the case that their remaining maturity is less than 12 months and non-current in the case that it is more than 12 months.

(a)Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are shown in the consolidated statement of income, together with any change in the fair value of the asset or liability hedged that is attributable to the risk being hedged.

(b)Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in net equity. The loss or gain relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income under “Other gains (losses).” Amounts deferred in equity are reclassified to profit and loss when the related hedged item impacts profit and loss.

In the case of variable interest-rate hedges, this means that the amounts recognized in equity are reclassified to results within financial cost at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.

For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in equity are reclassified to results as Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.

For foreign currency hedges, the amounts shown in equity are reclassified to results to the extent that the deferred revenue resulting from the use of points, are recognized as income.

When hedging instruments mature or are sold or when they do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedges, any gain or loss accumulated in net equity until that moment remains in equity and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized. When it is expected that the hedged transaction is no longer going to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in net equity is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income as “Other gains (losses).”

(c) Derivatives not booked as a hedge

The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that is not booked as a hedge are shown immediately in the consolidated statement of income, in “Other gains (losses).”

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are calculated on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their book values. However, if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of a liability or an asset in a transaction different from a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect the accounting result or the tax gain or loss, they are not booked. The deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws), that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period, and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is discharged.

Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax earnings with which to compensate the temporary differences.

The Company does not record deferred tax on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, provided that the opportunity to reverse the temporary differences is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax on temporary differences arising on investments in associates is immaterial.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

LATAM cash and cash equivalents totaled US$1,984.9 million as of December 31, 2013, US$650.3 million as of December 31, 2012 and US$374.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Additionally, the Company had short term marketable securities totaling US$576.7 million as of December 31, 2013, US$470.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and US$98.1 million as of December 31, 2011. In the aggregate, LATAM’s cash and marketable securities totaled US$2,561.6 million as of December 31, 2013, US$1,120.3 million as of December 31, 2012 and US$472.5 million as of December 31, 2011.

The US$1,441.3 million increase in our cash and marketable securities from 2012 to 2013 was mainly due to LATAM’s Capital Increase of US$784.0 million in 2013 representing a 83.4% of the total Capital Increase completed on January 10, 2014 (See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Business Strategy—Improve our Capital Structure.”) and the Securitization of airline ticket credit card voucher receivables for US$450 million. In January 2014, LATAM received an additional US$ 156.5 million upon completion of the Capital Increase. Changes in our net cash generated from operating, investing and financing activities are described below.

Cash position and liquidity

The following table provides a summary of our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and our total cash position as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

   1,984.9    650.3    374.4  

In addition to the cash and marketable securities LATAM has access to short term credit lines. As of December 31, 2013, LATAM had working capital uncommitted credit facilities for a total amount of US$ 1.9 billion, of which $1,091 million was drawn as of December 31, 2013, and committed credit lines with a total available amount of US$185 million, of which $0 was drawn as of December 31, 2013.

Net cash generated from operating activities

Cash from operations is derived primarily from providing air passenger and cargo transportation to customers. Operating cash outflows are primarily related to the recurring expenses of airline operations, including fuel consumption. Net cash inflows from operating activities in 2013 increase $204.9 million, or 17.0%, from US$1,203.8 million in 2012, primarily due to an improvement in the operational margin and the turnaround of the Brazilian domestic market, mainly reflected in a stronger fourth quarter operational result. Net cash generated from LATAM’s operating activities in 2012 increased US$436.1 million from US$767.7 million in 2011 to US$1,203.8 million in 2012, mainly due to the increase in operations following the combination of LAN and TAM on June 22, 2012. In addition, cash flows from operations in 2011 were reduced by US$84.0 million as a result of fine payments.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in 2013 decreased US$647.6 million from US$1,926.4 million in 2012 to US$1,278.8 million in 2013, primarily due to LATAM’s capital increase, the decrease in capital expenditure and the return of PDP payments relating to the aircraft deliveries. Aircraft purchases in 2013 included 20 narrow body aircraft and 4 wide body aircraft for a total of US$1,219 million.

Net cash used in investing activities in 2012 increased US$685.3 million from US$1,241.1 million in 2011 to US$1,926.4 million in 2012, primarily due to aircraft purchases which were partially offset by the inclusion of US$264.0 million of cash on the balance sheet of TAM. Aircraft purchases in 2012 included 14 narrow body aircraft and 18 wide body aircraft for a total of US$2,535 million.

Net cash generated from financing activities

Net cash generated from financing activities increased by US$200.6 million from US$1,005.2 million to US$1,205.8million in 2013, primarily due to increase long term debt related to new aircraft purchases, but partially offset by the voluntary prepayment of the BRL 400 million local Brazilian bonds.

Net cash generated from financing activities increased by US$788.3 million from US$216.9 million to US$1,005.2 million in 2012, primarily due to increase long term debt related to new aircraft purchases. Of these 2012 aircraft purchases, approximately 85% of the net aircraft prices were financed.

Sources of financing

Long term

We typically finance our fleet with long-term loans covering between 80% and 100% of the net purchase price. We also finance our aircraft under sale and leaseback arrangements in order to add flexibility to our fleet. For more information regarding to the fleet financing, please refer to “—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.”

From time to time in the past, we have considered, and may consider in the future, other forms of financing including securitization of ticket receivables or the securitization of fleet and engines or the issuance of additional debt or equity securities.

During 2013, LATAM completed two important debt structuring transactions. On November 7, 2013, LATAM issued a 7-year securitized bond, securitizing the future flow of receivables from certain foreign institutions operating credit card systems in the United States and Canada in the amount of US$450 million, at an interest rate of 6.0% per annum. Later, on December 19th, LATAM completed the refinancing of five B767 aircrafts, including three passengers and two freighters B767, for a total amount of US$95.3 million.

Short term

We have generally been able to arrange for short-term loans with local Chilean and international banks when we have needed to finance working capital expenditures or increase our liquidity. As of December 31, 2013, we maintained US$629 million in short-term credit lines with both local and foreign banks, including US$185 million of committed credit lines.

We have diversified our sources of short term financing to include the following: PAE (“Prestamos a Exportadores”), which are foreign currency short term loans granted to exporting parties in Chile mainly to finance working capital; FINIMPS (“Financiamento à Importação”), which are short term loans granted to importers in Brazil; Credit card advancements, a financial alternative where the bank advances to the Company the cash inflows related to the credit card sales on installments with a discount factor; and advance purchases by Multiplus of kilometers for TAM flights, in an amount at any time up to a maximum of R$500 million.

Capital expenditures

Our capital expenditures are related to the acquisition of aircraft, aircraft-related equipment, IT equipment, support infrastructure and the funding of pre-delivery deposits. LATAM’s capital expenditures totaled US$1,381.8 million in 2013, US$2,389.4 million in 2012 and US$1,367.0 million in 2011. See “—Sources of financing” above.

The following chart sets forth our estimate, as of December 31, 2013, of our future capital expenditures for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 calendar years:

The expenditures set out in the table above reflect payments for purchases and other fleet-related items, as well as for information technology and other items. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Fleet.” We have projected our capital expenditures based on our anticipated deliveries of aircraft fleet. See “—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations” below for a description of our purchase obligations, borrowings and other contractual commitments as of December 31, 2013.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

LATAM has registered the trademarks “LAN,” “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” and “LAN Ecuador” with the trademark office in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador, respectively. We license certain brands, logos and trade dress under the alliance agreement withoneworld® related to LAN’s alliance. As long as LAN is a member ofoneworld®, it will have the right to continue to use current logos on its aircraft.

TAM holds or has filed registration applications for 229 trademarks before theInstituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial, or INPI, the body with jurisdiction for registering trademarks and patents in Brazil, and 74 trademarks before the bodies with jurisdiction for registering trademarks in other countries in which TAM operates. Currently, TAM is not aware of any third-party challenges to these applications.

D. Trend Information

During 2014, we expect to continue to experience positive trends in the passenger operations, where we see significant growth opportunities in domestic and international markets in Latin America, and believe that the positive integration of LAN’s and TAM’s operations will allow us to start achieving the estimated synergies of the Company—Maintenance.”combination. Fuel prices have remained relatively stable thus far in 2014. Nevertheless, geopolitical instability, which affects the supply of fuel, is a potential risk since fuel supply is key to our business, as it represents approximately 35% of our operating expenses. We can address increases in fuel prices through our fuel-hedging policy and the use of pass-through mechanisms for both the passenger and cargo operations. However, these strategies are never completely effective and our operating margins are negatively impacted by a higher fuel price scenario. Specifically, we expect to face:

Strong Brand Teamed with Key Global Strategic Alliances

slight revenue growth in the passenger operations, resulting from a rationalization of passenger capacity in the domestic Brazil market and the international long haul operations, partially offset by still strong traffic growth in the operations in our Spanish speaking countries. During January and February 2014, passenger traffic decreased by 1.1% compared to the same period in 2013, driven mainly by a decrease of 3.0% in traffic in international routes and the continued rationalization in the domestic Brazil market, where traffic decreased by 1.9% in the period. This trend was partially offset by solid growth in domestic operations in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia, where traffic increased 7.1% as compared to the same period in 2013. In March 2004 we launched the “LAN” brand, underBrazilian domestic market, capacity decreased by 5.0% during the two month period ended February, leading to a load factor of 83.0%, an increase of 2.6 percentage points as compared to the same period in 2013. In our international operations, capacity strongly decreased by 7.2% in the period, resulting in a strong increase of 3.6 percentage points in load factors, from 79.8% to 83.4%. This capacity rationalization has been focused on unprofitable routes, mainly routes from Rio de Janeiro to Europe. Capacity increases have mainly been focused on domestic routes within our Spanish speaking countries. In these markets, capacity grew by 5.5% in January and February 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, and traffic continued to increase at a strong pace.

cargo operations continue to be adversely affected by the challenging macroeconomic environment, which we expect to be partially compensated by solid export volumes from Latin America to the United States and Europe. During January and February 2014, cargo traffic, as measured in RTKs, slightly increased by 0.1%, while capacity decreased by 5.2% as compared to the same period in 2013. As a consequence, the cargo load factor increased by 3.0 percentage points to 57.1% as compared to the same period in 2013. Despite the challenging scenario in the cargo business, we have been able to adjust our cargo freighter capacity and focus in the optimization of the belly capacity to better respond to the current situation.

In 2014, we expect to continue expanding and diversifying our revenue base through the expansion of our network, namely, by further developing our existing routes, adding new destinations, developing new alliances, and entering new markets. During 2014, we expect to receive 14 Airbus A320-Family aircraft to operate domestic and regional routes, as well as 5 additional wide-body passenger aircraft (Models Boeing 767-300 and Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners) for long-haul routes. We also expect the return of 5 leased Boeing 737 aircraft, the return of 3 leased A340 aircraft, and the return of 3 leased Dash 8-Q400 aircraft operated by LAN Colombia. In addition, we expect to sale 7 Airbus A330 and take phase out some Airbus A320 family aircraft to be replaced by new aircraft of this family. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Fleet.”

In the cargo business, we will continue to adjust capacity in response to weakened demand in our core markets and to macroeconomic conditions. We expect import flows to Latin America to recover, but weaker cargo markets globally might further drive additional competition to South America, especially Brazil. We will continue to monitor the cargo market trends on a weekly basis in order to react as soon as possible if necessary. Also, we plan to continue to optimize the utilization of the bellies of our passenger aircraft to maximize synergies associated with the Company’s integrated passenger/cargo business model.

We continue to maintain significant flexibility to adjust the physical size of our fleet. Between 2014 and 2016, we will have 25 operating lease expirations (including Japanese operating leases) in our wide-body passenger fleet, which can be terminated without cost. Starting in 2010, part of our Boeing 767 fleet has been fully paid, providing us with additional financial flexibility.

We also intend to make our cost structure more efficient and to offset potential decreases in demand with more efficient asset utilization, and we aim to enhance efficiency by streamlining our support processes, reducing commercial costs, continuing to develop our domestic business model for short-haul operations, and further developing the LEAN system in our processes.

Although we expect fuel prices to remain stable for the remainder of 2014, we will continue to use fuel hedging programs and fuel surcharge mechanisms in both the passenger and cargo businesses to help minimize the impact of short-term movements in crude oil prices. For instance, as of March 31, 2014 we have hedged approximately 56% of our estimated fuel requirements for the first quarter 2014, 51% for the second quarter and 25% for the third quarter. These hedging instruments are comprised of a combination of WTI and jet fuel collars and swaps. These hedges are for an average price between US$120 and US$122 dollars per barrel in jet fuel prices.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2013 the Company had 128 aircraft (of which 79 are obligations of TAM and 49 are obligations of LAN) and 19 aircraft engines under operating leases. These operating leases provide us with flexibility to adjust our fleet to any demand volatility that may affect the airline industry and therefore we consider such arrangements to be of great value to our strategy and financial performance. The total future lease payments related to our operating leases as of December 31, 2013 were US$1,912.0 million, for all remaining periods through maturity (the latest of which expires in 2020). See “—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.”

Under the aforementioned operating leases, LATAM is responsible for all maintenance, insurance and other costs associated with operating these aircraft. The Company has not made any residual value or similar guarantees to our lessors. There are certain guarantees and indemnities to other unrelated parties that are not reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, but we believe that these will not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

LATAM operates 22 aircraft under tax leasing structures. These methods involve the creation of special purpose entities that acquire aircraft with bank and third party financing. Under IFRS, these aircraft are shown in the consolidated statement of financial position as part of “Property, plant and equipment” and the corresponding debt is shown as a liability. Of LATAM’s total tax leases, nine TAM tax leases are classified as operating leases for accounting purposes as of December 31, 2013.

As of December 31, 2013, we are not aware of any event, lawsuit, commitment, trend or uncertainty that may result in, or is reasonably likely to result in, the termination of the operating leases. See Note 33 to our audited consolidated financial statements for a more detailed discussion of these commitments.

F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations and commitments primarily related to the payment of aircraft debt and lease arrangements, principal and interest on our non-aircraft long-term debt (which consists of senior notes, a securitized bond and bank loans), short-term export-import credits and for the future incorporation of aircraft to our fleet.

The Company’s debt that is secured by aircraft (including Export-Import Bank of the United States (“Ex-IM Bank”) Bank guaranteed bonds, Export Credit Agency (“ECA”) guaranteed loans, commercial loans, Japanese Lease with a call option (“JALCO”) structures and capital leases) as of December 31, 2013, was US$6,654.0 million. In general, LATAM’s aircraft debt has 12 year repayment profiles. However, some financing structures feature a balloon payment or a purchase option at the end of the lease. By refinancing this balloon payment, the maturity dates of a number of our aircraft financings have been extended for another 3 to 8 years (some up to 20 years in total). Our 2013 aircraft acquisitions are described in further detail below under “—2013 Fleet Acquisitions.”

During December 2013, following LATAM’s strategy to reduce its short term debt and replace it by more structured long term facilities, the company pledged five fully paid B767 aircraft (three passenger and two Cargo aircraft) as collateral for a bank loan for an amount of US$ 95 million due in December 2016.

Regarding non-aircraft debt, LATAM issued a securitized bond for an amount of US$ 450 million in November 2013 with seven years tenor and two years interest only. This bond is backed by future flows of credit card sales of LATAM Airlines in the United States and Canada. The coupon is 6.0% fixed with quarterly payments.

In addition, TAM has three series of senior notes, totaling US$1,100 million. TAM’s senior notes comprise:

US$300 million due in 2017, with a fixed coupon of 7.375% payable semi-annually, issued by TAM Capital Inc. and guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by TAM S.A. and TAM Linhas Aereas.

2013 Fleet Acquisitions

During 2013, LATAM completed the acquisition of the following wide body aircraft:

4 Boeing 767-300ER passenger aircraft, financed through EX-IM Bank guaranteed bond(s)

2 Boeing 787-8 passenger aircraft, financed through sale and leaseback transaction(s)

2 Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft, financed through sale and leaseback transaction(s)

These EX-IM Bank financial obligations have a repayment profile of 12 years, with a guarantee covering 85% of the net purchase price of the aircraft. The EX-IM Bank guarantee is secured with a first priority mortgage on the aircraft in favor of a security trustee on behalf of EX-IM Bank. We have financed the remaining 15% of the net purchase price with our own funds. The first two aircraft were financed by EX-IM supported loans which subsequently were refinanced by EX-IM bank supported bond. The second two aircraft were pre-funded by EX-IM bank supported bonds.

Wide-body aircraft financed through sale and leaseback transactions have lease terms between 4 and 12 years. These leases are denominated in U.S. dollars and have monthly payments.

In June 2013, LATAM entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with a leasing company for 10 A330 aircraft, which were operated by TAM, for a lease term of approximately 3 years following the company’s plan to replace this type of aircraft with new technology aircraft in the next years. Additionally 9 A350-900, 4 B787-9 and 2 B787-8 future deliveries were part of this deal in order to add more flexibility to LATAM’s wide body fleet plan.

During 2013, LATAM completed the acquisition of the following narrow body aircraft:

11 Airbus A320-200 passenger aircraft, financed through ECA guaranteed bond(s)

5 Airbus A320-200 passenger aircraft, financed through sale and leaseback transaction(s)

8 Airbus A320-200 passenger aircraft, financed through commercial loan(s)

1 Airbus 321-231 passenger aircraft, financed through ECA guaranteed bond(s)

Aircraft financed by ECA-guaranteed bonds have an advance rate equal to 80% of the net purchase price of the aircraft for a 12 year period, with the remaining 20% of the aircraft being financed by the Company’s available cash flows. Initially these aircraft were financed through ECA guaranteed loans and later converted to ECA guaranteed bonds.

In the case of the commercial financing for our Airbus 320-200 fleet, there is a senior tranche financing 81.7% of the net purchase price of the aircraft. A first priority mortgage on the aircraft is in favor of a security trustee on behalf of the senior lender. The documentation for each loan follows standard market forms for the type of financing, including standard events of default.

Finally, narrow body aircraft financed through sale and leaseback transactions have lease terms of 8 years. These leases are denominated in U.S. dollars and have monthly payments.

The majority of our wide body and narrow body aircraft financings through EX-IM Bank bonds, ECA guaranteed loans or commercial loans are denominated in U.S. dollars and have quarterly amortizations with a combination of fixed and floating rates linked to USD LIBOR. A small portion of our aircraft debt has monthly or semiannual payments; nevertheless it is also denominated in US Dollars and linked to USD LIBOR. Through the use of interest rate swaps and fixed coupon Bond emissions in the case of Boeing aircraft, we have effectively converted a significant portion of our floating rate debt under these loans into fixed rate debt.

C. Board Practices

Our board of directors is currently comprised of nine members. The terms of each of our current directors will expire in September 2014. See “—A. Directors and Senior Management” above.

Committees

Board of Directors’ Committee and Audit Committee

Pursuant to Chilean Corporation Law, LATAM Airlines Group must have a board of directors’ committee composed of no less than three board members. LATAM Airlines Group has established a three-person committee of its board of directors, which, among other duties, is responsible for:

examining the reports of LATAM Airlines Group’s external auditors, the balance sheets and other financial statements submitted by LATAM Airlines Group’s administrators to the shareholders, and issuing an opinion with respect thereto prior to their presentation to the shareholders for their approval;

proposing external auditors and rating agencies to the board of directors;

evaluating and proposing external auditors and rating agencies;

reviewing internal control reports pertaining to related party transactions;

examining and reporting on all related-party transactions; and

reviewing the pay scale of LATAM Airlines Group’s senior management.

Under Chilean law we are required, to the extent possible, to appoint a majority of independent directors to the Board of Directors Committee. The corresponding independence requirements are set forth in Chilean Corporation Law and relate to the relationship between the directors and the shareholders that control a corporation. A director is considered independent when he or she can be elected regardless of the voting of the controlling shareholders. See “Item 16. G. Corporate Governance.”

Pursuant to U.S. regulations, we are required to have an audit committee of at least three board members, which complies with the independence requirements set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Given the similarity in the functions that must be performed by our Board of Directors’ Committee and the audit committee, our Board of Directors’ Committee serves as our Audit Committee for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

As of March 30, 2013, all of the members of our Board of Directors’ Committee, which also serves as our Audit Committee, were independent under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. As of March 30, 2013, the committee members were Mr. Gerardo Jofré Miranda, Mr. Ramón Eblen Kadis and Mr. Georges de Bourguignon Arndt. We pay each member of the committee 32 UFs per meeting.

LATAM Board Committees

LATAM’s board of directors also has established four other committees to review, discuss and make recommendations to our board of directors. These include a Strategy Committee, a Leadership Committee, a Finance Committee and a Brand, Product and Frequent Flyer Program Committee. The Strategy Committee focuses on the corporate strategy, current strategic issues and the three-year plans and budgets for the main business units and functional areas and high-level competitive strategy reviews. The Leadership Committee focuses on, among other things, group culture, high-level organizational structure, appointment of the LATAM CEO and

his or her other reports, corporate compensation philosophy, compensation structures and levels for the LATAM CEO and other key executives, succession or contingency planning for the LATAM CEO and performance assessment of the LATAM CEO. The Finance Committee is responsible for financial policies and strategy, capital structure, monitoring policy compliance, tax optimization strategy and the quality and reliability of financial information. Finally, the Brand and Frequent Flyer Program Committee is responsible for brand strategies and brand building initiatives for the corporate and main business unit brands, the main characteristics of products and services for each of the main business units, frequent flyer program strategy and key program features and regular audit of brand performance.

Corporate Governance Practices

On March 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of LATAM Airlines Group filed the Company’s Corporate Practices Report prepared according to General Rule N° 341 of the Securities and Insurance Commission issued November 29, 2012. The reporting obligation stipulated in this rule is for practices in place as of December 31st of each year and the report must be presented no later than March 31st of the following year.

The report provided each year to the Commission must cover the following subjects:

How the Board works

The relationship between the company, shareholders and the public in general

How senior officers are replaced and compensated

The definition, implementation and supervision of internal control and risk management policies and procedures inside the company.

(1)By the end of 2011, approximately 52% of our employees worked in Chile, 46% in other Latin American countries and 2% in the rest of the world.
(2)2012 figures include both LAN and TAM employees which as of December 2012 were 23,099 employees from LAN and 30,500 employees of TAM and its affiliates (including Multiplus).

We have a performance-related pay structure for our administrative, management and flight personnel (such as cabin crew members, airport and sales agents, call-center employees, and some back office employees) including performance-based bonuses and pay scales that reward foreign language proficiency among counter, technical and administrative personnel. During 2013, 93% of our employees were eligible to receive performance related bonus payments that are linked to personal, team and corporate performance. TAM executives participate in the same program described below. For other employees there is a profit sharing program, which is a variable pay program based on the Company’s financial performance.

We provide our employees with medical insurance complementary to the coverage of the private health system, and also grant other benefits, such as free and discounted airline tickets, to our permanent employees.

A stock option compensation plan is offered to key senior executives. For a detailed description of the stock option compensation plan, please see Note 38 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

As required by Chilean law, we make obligatory contributions to the privatized pension fund system on behalf of our employees, but we do not maintain any separate program to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits to these or any other employees. However, the pilots’ collective bargaining agreement includes a clause that permits resignation with severance payment, in case a pilot reaches a certain age and is still providing services to the company. In Brazil TAM offers a private pension plan to its executives and pilots.

Long Term Incentive Compensation Program

On December 21, 2011, the extraordinary shareholders meeting approved a capital increase of 142,355,882 shares to a total of 488,355,791 shares. The same meeting designated 4,800,000 shares for purposes of a proposed employee stock option compensation plan. Those 4,800,000 shares represented a 0.98% of the total share capital after such capital increase. The shareholders’ meeting authorized our board of directors to elaborate the compensation plan. This incentive compensation program is aimed at promoting our interests by encouraging senior management employees to contribute substantially to our success, by motivating them with stock options.

The general features of this stock option plan are:

(a)The selection of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that were included by the Board of Directors in the compensation plan was made after a recommendation by our Executive Committee. A stock option agreement was signed with each selected employee for the number of options in connection to the acquisition of our shares to be allocated to such employee.

(b)Until the shares in the option are subscribed, the optionee has no economic or political rights and is not considered in the quorums of shareholders meetings.

(c)The options allocated to each employee are vested in parts, on the following two dates: (1) 30% on December 21, 2014; (2) 30% on December 21, 2015; and (3) 40% on June 21, 2016, subject to remaining employed by the Company.

(d)The period during which the employee must exercise the options will expire December 21, 2016. If the employee has not exercised or waived the options in that period, the employee will be understood, for all purposes, to have waived the options and, accordingly, all rights, powers, promises or offers in relation to the subscription of cash shares in the Company will be deemed extinguished and it will be understood that the employee has irrevocably waived all rights or powers in relation thereto, releasing us from any obligation.

(e)The price payable for these shares if the respective options are exercised is US$23.19, adjusted by the variation in theConsumer Price Index (“CPI”) published monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor, from the date it was set by our Board of Directors to the date of subscription and payment of the shares. Such price shall be paid in Chilean pesos, converted at the observed dollar exchange rate published in the Official Gazette on the same date as subscription and payment of the shares.

The selection of employees for participation in the stock option plan was based on, among other criteria that the Board determined at the time of employment with the Company, the position they hold, their importance in earning profits, the responsibility of their position, the amount of equity managed, the ability to work as a team, performance, potential for development and importance within the Company given their education and experience.

As of December 31, 2013, Stock Option Contracts were issued by the Company to 46 employees of the Company and its subsidiaries for a total of 4,497,000 stock options. This stock option plan excludes members of the Cueto group, the LATAM Controlling Shareholders, that serve as senior management of the Company. The Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of 1,500,000 shares at the Special Shareholders Meeting held June 11, 2013, among other matters. Those shares will be allocated to compensation plans for the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “2013 Compensation Plan”).

The general features of the 2013 Compensation Plan are:

1. The options allocated to each employee shall be exercisable entirely on November 15, 2017, provided the employee continues to work for the Company.

2. Employees may exercise such options, after they become exercisable on the aforesaid date, either all at once or in parts. They must subscribe and pay for those shares at once, at the time of subscription, in cash, by check, by bank check, by money transfer or by any other instrument or medium representing cash payable on demand. Partial option exercises cannot be for less than 10% of all options granted to the Employee.

3. The period in which employees must exercise options after they become exercisable, as explained in number 3) above, expires June 11, 2018. If employees have not exercised or waived options in that period, they shall be deemed to have waived the options for all purposes and, accordingly, all rights, powers, promises or offers in relation to the subscription of cash shares in the company shall be deemed extinguished, the employee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived all rights or powers in relation thereto, and the company shall be released from any obligation.

4. The price payable per share allocated to the 2013 Compensation Plan is US$16.40, if the respective options are exercised, adjusted by the change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) published monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor, starting the first day of the preemptive option period to the date of subscription and payment of the shares. The subscription price will be paid in Chilean pesos, converted using the Observed Dollar exchange rate published in the Official Gazette on the same date as subscription and payment of shares.

No options have been granted under the 2013 Compensation Plan.

Training

Some of our employees, such as the flight operations, maintenance and customer ground operations personnel undergo training when they join the Company and throughout their employment with us. We maintain an agreement with CAE (a Canadian firm specializing in flight simulators and training centers) to develop a pilot training center in Santiago de Chile and Sao Paulo. This training center includes Airbus and Boeing Full Flight simulators plus MFTD simulator. Our pilot staff also receives simulator training at sites in the United States.

Our pilots are rated for only one aircraft type by local aeronautical authorities, and they are not cross-qualified between two or more aircraft types. Regulations require pilots to be licensed as commercial pilots for a first officer position and as an airline transport pilot for a captain position, with specific type, function and special ratings for each aircraft to be flown, and to be medically certified as physically fit. Licenses and medical certifications are subject to periodic reevaluation, including flight simulator recurrent training, ground recurrent training, annual emergency procedures training, safety and security training and recent flying experience. Our pilots receive a variety of training, such as lectures, simulations and gaming and computer based training. Cabin crew must have initial and periodic competency fitness training.

Aircraft mechanics and maintenance supervisory personnel must be licensed by the DGAC and other corresponding authorities in other countries in which we operate. We train our technicians (Mechanics, Specialists, Inspectors and Maintenance Supervisors) in all programs required by both local authority (DGAC) and international authorities and aviation associations, such as the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”), IATA rules and regulations, those required by aircraft manufacturers and the training needs that we identify during our annual reviews. The program of study contains initial and continuing training. Initial training is level III ATA SPEC 104 and lasts forty to fifty days depending on the aircraft types and continuing training lasts up to five to six days.

During 2013, we continued training sales and administrative personnel in areas such as service and safetysales quality. We also continued delivering learning programs to develop leadership skills and others with different methodologies including e-learning.

Labor Relations

We believe we generally maintain good relations with our employees and the unions, and expect to continue to enjoy good relations with our employees and the unions in the future. We also believe that we have built a solid base among our employees that will support and facilitate our growth plans. We can provide no assurance, however, that our employee compensation arrangements may not be subject to change or modification after the expiration of the contracts currently in effect, or that we will not be subject to labor-related disruptions due to strikes, stoppages or walk-outs.

Chile

We have negotiated longer-term labor contracts with the labor unions in anticipation of their scheduled expirations, which under Chilean law are commonlimited to a period of four years. In general, the expiration of our labor agreements with the several unions that represent our pilots and other personnel are staggered in a way that we avoid being in the position of having to renegotiate contract terms with substantially all of our airlines. This corporate image haspilots or other personnel at the same time.

During 2013, we renegotiated our collective bargaining agreements with our pilots’ union, which will be effective until 2016. Non-unionized pilots have the same benefits as unionized pilots, through a direct extension of the union’s renegotiated agreement. We also improved the cost effectivenessnegotiated agreements with pilots working for our subsidiaries, LAN Express and efficiency of our marketing efforts as we continue to expandLAN Cargo, which agreements will also be in our existing and new markets. Additionally, LAN and our entire passenger affiliates (with the exception of Lan Colombia) are a member of theoneworld® alliance. effect until 2016.

We have also entered into bilateralor renegotiated collective bargaining agreements with strategic partners such as American Airlines, Iberiamany of our other employees in Chile during 2012, including general airport, maintenance and Qantas, among others, whose leading presencesupply staff of LATAM; administrative staff of LAN Express; and administration staff of LAN Cargo. Each of these agreements is effective for a four-year term, until 2016.

Ecuador

In Ecuador, two employee associations were formed (mechanical and airport/administration) in 2012. These employee associations maintain relations with the Company, but do not have the right to enter into or negotiate collective bargaining agreements under Ecuador law.

Also in Andes, a union of ground handling employees has been formed and was legally constituted in 2013. As of today there is no process of negotiations or bargainings agreements with this union.

Argentina

In Argentina, the majority of LAN Argentina’s employees belong to industry-wide unions. In December 2013, salary agreements were finalized with the five unions in LAN Argentina. These negotiations are held annually.

Peru

LAN Peru is currently negotiating with its cabin crew and maintenance unions, and it expects to complete these negotiations and finalize a collective bargaining agreement with each union during the second or third quarter of 2014.

Brazil

Under Brazilian law, the validity of collective bargaining agreements is limited to two years. TAM’s collective bargaining agreements are valid for one year (for economic clauses) and for two years (for social clauses). TAM has historically negotiated collective bargaining agreements with nine unions in Brazil: one flight crew union, which represents the functions of flying workers (pilots, copilots and flight attendants), and eight ground staff unions, which represent TAM employees who perform their respective markets createsduties on the ground in support of TAM’s operations. In December 2013, TAM renegotiated collective bargaining agreements with five unions, which included a truly global reachwage increase of 7% for ground workers (ground handling) earning minimum wage, and an increase of 5.6% for other salaried ground workers and flying workers (compared with an inflation rate for the period of 5.6%). Ground staff workers who earn salaries of up to R$10,000 received an increase of 5.6%. Employees who earn more than R$10,000 received an increase of R$560.0. Negotiations with the other four unions are ongoing. However, the Company granted all employees the same rights accorded the five unions that signed collective bargaining agreements. Although 92% of wage negotiations in Brazil have resulted in real wage increase greater than inflation, we believe that the wage increases granted to our passengers. Our passenger alliances and commercial agreements provide our customers with approximately 800 travel destinations, a combined reservations system, itinerary flexibility and various other benefits, which substantially enhance our competitive positionemployees has been positive for the Company, since the majority of employee wage increases were within the Latin American market.

Shareholders’ Agreements

As described above under “Item 4. Information on the Company—A. History and Development of the Company—Combination of LAN and TAM,” following the combination of LAN and TAM in June 2012, TAM S.A. continues to exist as a subsidiary of Holdco I and a subsidiary of LATAM, and LAN Airlines S.A. has been redesignated as “LATAM Airlines Group S.A.”

Prior to the consummation of the business combination, LATAM Airlines Group and the recently acquired Lan Colombia’s fleetLATAM controlling shareholders entered into several shareholders agreements with TAM, the TAM controlling shareholders (acting through TEP Chile) and Holdco I that establish agreements and restrictions relating to corporate governance in an attempt to balance LATAM Airlines Group’s interests, as the owner of substantially all of the economic rights in TAM, and the TAM controlling shareholders, as the continuing controlling shareholders of TAM under Brazilian law, by prohibiting the taking of certain specified material corporate actions and decisions without prior supermajority approval of the shareholders and/or the board of directors of Holdco I or TAM. These shareholder agreements also set forth the parties’ agreement regarding the governance and management of the LATAM Airlines Group following the consummation of the business combination of LAN and TAM.

Governance and Management of LATAM Group

We refer to the shareholders agreement among the LATAM controlling shareholders and TEP Chile, which sets forth the parties’ agreement concerning the governance, management and operation of the LATAM Group, and voting and transfer of their respective LATAM Airlines Group common shares and TEP Chile’s voting shares of Holdco I, as the “control group shareholders agreement.” We refer to the shareholders agreement between us and TEP Chile, which sets forth our agreement concerning the governance, management and operation of the LATAM Group as the “LATAM Airlines Group-TEP shareholders agreement.” The control group shareholders agreement and the LATAM Airlines Group-TEP shareholders agreement set forth the parties’ agreement on the governance and management of the LATAM Group following the effective time.

This section describes the key provisions of the control group shareholders agreement and the LATAM Airlines Group-TEP shareholders agreement. The rights and obligations of the parties to the control group shareholders agreement and the LATAM Airlines Group-TEP shareholders agreement are governed by the express terms and conditions of the aforementioned shareholders agreements and not by this summary or any other information contained in this annual report on Form 20-F. The description of these control group shareholders agreement and the LATAM Airlines Group-TEP shareholders agreement summarized below and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the aforementioned shareholders agreements, which are incorporated by reference into this annual report on Form 20-F. For a full understanding of these agreements, we advise you to read these agreements carefully and in their entirety.

Composition of the LATAM Airlines Group Board

Mr. Maurício Rolim Amaro and Maria Cláudia Oliveira Amaro were elected to the LATAM Airlines Group board of directors in June 2012 and confirmed as directors at a special meeting of the shareholders of LATAM held on September 4, 2012 in which the entire LATAM Airlines Group board of directors was reelected or replaced. Mr. Maurício Rolim Amaro was appointed chairman of LATAM Airlines Group’s board of directors for the first two years following such shareholders’ meeting. If Mr. Amaro vacates this position for any reason within that two-year period, TEP Chile has the right to select a replacement to complete his term. Thereafter, LATAM Airlines Group’s board of directors will appoint any of its members as the chairman of LATAM Airlines Group’s board of directors, from time to time, in accordance with LATAM Airlines Group’s by-laws.

Management of the LATAM Group

As of June 2012, Enrique Cueto Plaza became the CEO of LATAM or the (“CEO LATAM”). The CEO LATAM is the highest ranked officer of the LATAM Airlines Group and reports directly to the LATAM board of directors. The CEO LATAM is charged with the general supervision, direction and control of the business of the LATAM Airlines Group and certain other responsibilities set forth in the Colombian market. LATAM Airlines Group-TEP shareholders agreement. After any departure of the current CEO LATAM, our board of directors will select his or her successor after receiving the recommendation of the Leadership Committee.

As of May 18, 2008, we stopped using Boeing 737-200 aircraft in our Chilean domestic operations. For long-haul passenger flights we operateJune 2012, Ignacio Cueto Plaza became the Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft and for long-haul cargo flights we operateCEO of LAN, or the Boeing 767-300 freighters. For ultra long-haul service, such as between Santiago and Madrid and between Santiago and Auckland, we use the Airbus A340-300 aircraft. Having a fleet with minimal aircraft types reduces inventory costs, as fewer spare parts are required, and reduces the need to train our pilots to operate different types of aircraft. LAN’s strategic fleet renewal plan involves the sale of five Airbus A318 aircraft that took place in 2011, plus the sale of other five in 2012 and five in 2013.

“CEO LAN.” The average age of our fleet as of February 29, 2012 was 6.1 years (6.9 years including Lan Colombia’s fleet), making our fleet one of the most modern in Latin America. The phasing out of our Boeing 737-200s, our oldest aircraft, which was completed in May 2008, contributed to reducing the average age of our fleet. Additionally, we expect that our purchase of additional aircraft, to be delivered between 2012 and 2018 will further reduce the average age of our fleet. Having a younger fleet makes us more cost competitive because it reduces fuel consumption and maintenance costs, and enables us to enjoy a high degree of performance reliability. In addition, a modern and fuel efficient fleet reflects our strong commitmentCEO LAN reports directly to the environment as new aircraft incorporate the industry’s latest technology, allowing for a substantial reduction in emissions, while also decreasing noise levels.

Additionally, our leased fleet is structured with staggered lease maturities over time to create the strategic flexibility to expand or reduce capacity according to market conditions. We believe that our aircraftCEO LATAM and the flexibility of our fleet allow us to maximize aircraft utilization by adapting rapidly to changes in passengerhas general supervision, direction and cargo demand in the markets that we serve.

Strong Financial Position with Track Record of Growth and Profitability

We have historically managed our business to maintain financial flexibility and a strong balance sheet in order to accommodate our growth objectives while being able to respond to changing market conditions. We are onecontrol of the few investment-grade rated airlines in the world and we maintained this status during 2011. We have built our strong financial position by preserving our financial liquidity and continuing to structure long-term financing for newly acquired aircraft. Our financial flexibility has allowed us to secure large aircraft orders, including an important part of our current re-fleeting program at attractive financing rates. We also monitor and seek opportunities to reduce financial risks associated with currency, interest rate and jet fuel price fluctuations. Over the last five years, while much of the airline industry has faced significant competitive and liquidity crises, we have remained consistently profitable.

Business Strategy

The principal areas in which we plan to focus our efforts going forward are as follows:

Continue to Grow Both our Passenger and Cargo Networks

We currently intend to continue to expand our capacity over the next several years to accommodate robust long-term growth in both passenger and cargo demand in the markets we target. We plan on expanding our operations not only in the markets we currently serve but also into new South American markets where we believe demand exists for our combination of passenger and cargo services. To meet this growth, as of February 29, 2012, we had an order book of 89 latest generation Airbus A320-Family Aircraft to be delivered between 2012 and 2018 and 13 Boeing 767-300 wide body passenger aircraft to be delivered between 2012 and 2013; as of February 29, 2012, we had orders for two Boeing 777-200 freighter aircraft to be delivered in 2012; and as of February 29, 2012 we also have outstanding orders for 32 Boeing 787 Dreamliner passenger aircraft, currently expected to start to be delivered in 2012.

We will continue to leverage the benefits of combining our passenger and cargo operations. Our passenger and cargo operations of the LATAM Group, excluding those conducted by Holdco I, TAM and its subsidiaries, and the international passenger business of the LATAM Group. The CEO LAN, together with Marco Antonia Bologna, the current the CEO TAM, are equally important aspectsresponsible for recommending a candidate to the CEO LATAM to serve as the head of the international passenger business of the LATAM Group (including both long haul and regional operations), who shall report jointly to the CEO LAN and the CEO TAM. The key executives of the LATAM Group (other than the CEO LATAM and those in the TAM Group) will be appointed by, and will report, directly or indirectly, to the CEO LATAM.

The head office of the LATAM Airlines Group continues to be located in Santiago, Chile.

Governance and Management of Holdco I and TAM

We refer to the shareholders agreement between us, Holdco I and TEP Chile, which sets forth our agreement concerning the governance, management and operation of Holdco I, and voting and transfer of voting shares of Holdco I, as the “Holdco I shareholders agreement” and to the shareholders agreement between us, Holdco I, TAM and TEP Chile, which sets forth our agreement concerning the governance, management and operation of TAM and its subsidiaries following the effective time as the “TAM shareholders agreement.” The Holdco I shareholders agreement and the TAM shareholders agreement set forth the parties’ agreement on the governance and management of Holdco I, TAM and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “TAM Group”) following the business combination of LAN and TAM.

This section describes the key provisions of the Holdco I shareholders agreement and the TAM shareholders agreement. The rights and obligations of the parties to the Holdco I shareholders agreement and the TAM shareholders agreement are governed by the express terms and conditions of the aforementioned shareholders agreements and not by this summary or any other information contained in this annual report on Form 20-F.

For a full understanding of these agreements, we advise you to read these agreements carefully and in their entirety.

Composition of the Holdco I and TAM Boards

The Holdco I shareholders agreement and TAM shareholders agreement generally provide for identical boards of directors and the same chief executive officer at Holdco I and TAM, with LATAM appointing two directors and TEP Chile appointing four directors (including the chairman of the board of directors). From September 2012 to September 2014, the chairman of the Holdco I and TAM boards of directors will be Maria Cláudia Oliveira Amaro.

The control group shareholders agreement provides that the persons elected by or on behalf of the LATAM controlling shareholders or the TAM controlling shareholders to our board of directors must also serve on the boards of directors of both Holdco I and TAM.

Management of Holdco I and TAM

Voting Agreements, Transfers and Other Arrangements

Voting Agreements

The LATAM controlling shareholders and TEP Chile have agreed in the control group shareholders agreement to vote their respective LATAM Airlines Group common shares as follows:

until such time as TEP Chile sells any of its LAN common shares (other than the exempted shares as defined below held by TEP Chile), the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders will vote their LATAM Airlines Group common shares to elect to the LATAM Airlines Group board of directors any individual designated by TEP Chile unless TEP Chile beneficially owns enough LATAM Airlines Group common shares to directly elect two directors to the LATAM Airlines Group board of directors;

the parties agree to vote their LATAM Airlines Group common shares to assist the other parties in removing and replacing the directors such other parties elected to the LATAM Airlines Group board of directors;

the parties agree to consult with one another and use their good faith efforts to reach an agreement and act jointly on all actions (other than actions requiring supermajority approval under Chilean law) to be taken by the LATAM Airlines Group board of directors or the LATAM Airlines Group shareholders;

the parties agree to maintain the size of the LATAM Airlines Group board of directors at a total of nine directors and to maintain the quorum required for action by the LATAM Airlines Group board of directors at a majority of the total number of directors of the LATAM Airlines Group board of directors; and

if, after good faith efforts to reach an agreement with respect to any action that requires supermajority approval under Chilean law and a mediation period, the parties do not reach such an agreement then TEP Chile has agreed to vote its shares on such supermajority matter as directed by the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders, which we refer to as a “directed vote.”

The number of “exempted shares” of TEP Chile means that number of LATAM Airlines Group common shares which TEP Chile owns immediately after the effective time in excess of 12.5% of the outstanding LATAM Airlines Group common shares at such time as determined on a fully diluted basis.

The parties to the Holdco I shareholders agreement and TAM shareholders agreement have agreed to vote their voting shares of Holdco I and shares of TAM so as to give effect to the agreements with respect to representation on the TAM board of directors discussed above.

Transfer Restrictions

Pursuant to the control group shareholders agreement, the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders and TEP Chile are subject to certain regulatory restrictions on sales, transfers and pledges of the LATAM Airlines Group common shares and (in the case of TEP Chile only) the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by them. Except for a limited amount of LATAM Airlines Group common shares, neither the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders nor TEP Chile may sell any of its LATAM Airlines Group common shares, and TEP Chile may not sell its voting shares of Holdco I, until June 2015. Thereafter, sales of LATAM Airlines Group common shares by either party are permitted, subject to (i) certain limitations on the volume and frequency of such sales and (ii) in the case of TEP Chile only, TEP Chile satisfying certain minimum ownership requirements. After June 2022, TEP Chile may sell all of its LATAM Airlines Group common shares and voting shares of Holdco I as a resultblock, subject to (x) approval of the fare bands in place intransferee by the Argentinean domestic market. In addition, we are evaluatingLATAM board of directors, (y) the applicationcondition that the sale not have an adverse effect and (z) a right of these initiatives on certain regional routes within Latin America. A key objective of this program has been to increase the utilization of our fleet through modified itineraries that include more point-to-point and overnight flights and faster turnaround times. Our Boeing 737-200 fleet was completely phased out in May 2008first offer in favor of the new Airbus A320-Family Aircraft,LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders, which we currentlyrefer to collectively as “block sale provisions.” An “adverse effect” is defined in the control group shareholders agreement to mean a material adverse effect on our and Holdco I’s ability to own or receive the full benefits of ownership of TAM and its subsidiaries or the ability of TAM and its subsidiaries to operate on all domestic and regional routes except those served by Lan Colombia. These initiativestheir airline businesses worldwide. The LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders have increased efficiency and improvedagreed to transfer any voting shares of Holdco I acquired pursuant to such right of first offer to us for the margins of our short-haul operations. same consideration paid for such shares.

In addition, our modern fleet allowsTEP Chile may sell all LATAM Airlines Group common shares and voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by it as a block, subject to satisfaction of the block sale provisions, after June 2015 if a release event (as described below) occurs or if TEP Chile is required to make two or more directed votes during any 24-month period at two meetings (consecutive or not) of the shareholders of LATAM Airlines Group held at least 12 months apart and LATAM Airlines Group has not yet fully exercised its conversion option described below. A “release event” will occur if (i) a capital increase of LATAM Airlines Group occurs, (ii) TEP Chile does not fully exercise the preemptive rights granted to it under applicable law in Chile with respect to such capital increase in respect of all of its restricted LATAM Airlines Group common shares, and (iii) after such capital increase is completed, the individual designated by TEP Chile for lower unscheduled maintenance costs, lower fuel consumption,election to the board of directors of LATAM Airlines Group with the assistance of the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders is not elected to the board of directors of LATAM Airlines Group.

In addition, after June 2022 and operational and cost efficiencies achieved through operating fewer fleet types. Other key objectivesafter the occurrence of this business model include a reduction in sales and distribution costs through increased Internet penetration, reduced agency commissions, and increased self check-in service through web check-in and airport kiosks. We expect that these initiatives, together with simplifications in back-office and support functions, will continue to help us expand operations while controlling fixed costs, spurring a reduction in overhead costs per ASK. We have begun to pass on athe full ownership trigger date (as described below under the “—Conversion Option”), TEP Chile may sell all or any portion of its LATAM Airlines Group common shares, subject to (x) a right of first offer in favor of the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders and (y) the restrictions on sales of LATAM Airlines Group common shares more than once in a 12-month period.

The control group shareholders agreement provides certain exceptions to these operating efficienciesrestrictions on transfer for certain pledges of LATAM Airlines Group common shares made by the parties and for transfers to consumers through fare reductions, whichaffiliates, in each case under certain limited circumstances.

In addition, TEP Chile agreed in the Holdco I shareholders agreement not to vote its voting shares of Holdco I, or to take any other action, in support of any transfer by Holdco I of any equity securities or convertible securities issued by it or by any of TAM or its subsidiaries without our prior written consent.

Restriction on transfer of TAM shares

We agreed in the Holdco I shareholders agreement not to sell or transfer any shares of TAM stock to any person (other than our affiliates) at any time when TEP Chile owns any voting shares of Holdco I. However, we will have the right to effect such a sale or transfer if, at the same time as such sale or transfer, we (or our assignee) acquires all the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by TEP Chile for an amount equal to TEP Chile’s then current tax basis in such shares and any costs TEP Chile is required to incur to effect such sale or transfer. TEP Chile has stimulated additional demand and enhanced our overall profitability.irrevocably granted us the assignable right to purchase all of the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by TEP Chile in connection with any such sale.

Maintain Excellent Customer Satisfaction

In both our passenger and cargo businesses, we focus on delivering high quality services that are valued by our customers. In our passenger businesses we strive to achieve high on-time performance, world-class on-board service on long-haul flights, attractive and convenient pricing, and quick check-in for short-haul flights, and the comfort afforded by a modern fleet. During the first half of 2009 weLAN completed the reconfiguration of the cabins of all ourits long-haul aircraft, including both the Boeing 767 and the Airbus A340 passenger aircraft, in order to incorporate our new Premium Business Class including full-flat seats, as well as improvements in economy class which include a state-of-the-art on-board entertainment system. This high quality standard is shared by TAM, which currently offers first and business class in all its long haul flights as well as in some regional routes. Our frequent flyer program,programs, LANPASS providesand TAM Fidelidade, provide travel benefits and rewards to almost 5.8more than 8.5 million loyal customers in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and EcuadorColombia as well asto more than 12.2 million members in other countries where we operate.Brazil. In the cargo business, we focus on providing reliable service, taking advantage of our ability to handle different types of cargo as well as significant cargo volumes, and leveraging our facilities in key gateways, such as Miami, to ensure optimal handling of our customers’ needs. We continually assess opportunities to incorporate service improvements in order to respond effectively to our customers’ needs.

Continued Emphasis on Safety

Our top priority is safety, and we have structured our operations and maintenance to focus on safe flying. Our main maintenance facilities are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), DGAC and other civil aviation authorities. Our flight and maintenance safety procedures are certified under ISO 9001-2000 standards. We have programs in place to train our crews and mechanics to world-class standards both at facilities abroad or at our training centers, which we have developed in association with high-quality partners.

Focus on Efficiency and Sustainability

We are increasingly concerned withfocused on improving efficiency through a series of fleet initiatives that seek to reduce fuel consumption. The most significant is our ongoing fleet renewal and growth plan, through which we expect to incorporate 136157 new aircraft between 20122014 and 2018.2019, which we expect will contribute to lower costs per ASK. As an example, we estimate that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner operates with costs per ASK that are approximately 12% lower than other long haul passenger aircraft, while the new Boeing 777 freighter operates with costs per ASKATK that are approximately 17% lower than the Boeing 767

freighter. freighter, and the Airbus A350 will operate with costs per ASK that are approximately 25% lower than the Airbus A330. In addition, we continue withcompleted the installation of winglets on all of ourLAN’s existing Boeing 767 aircraft, achieving average fuel efficiencies of approximately 5% per aircraft. aircraft per year since implementation. We are also in the process of installing sharklets (a type of winglet) in our Airbus A320 Family fleet, which we expect to result in further fuel efficiencies in this fleet.

In order to mitigate the environmental impact of our operations we seek to operate in a sustainable manner by reducing our fuel consumption and related emissions. We also continue to focus on adjusting the configuration of our aircraft to market demand by, for example, adjusting the configuration of fourcertain Boeing 767s that operate on long-haul routes from Ecuador by reducing the number of Premium Business seats and increasing the number of Economy class seats. Other long-term projects that aim at improving our cost structure include implementing

During 2012, LAN also replaced its passenger service system, containing the LEAN operating processes in our maintenance operations, as well as investing in newreservation, inventory and reservationsdeparture control systems of the airline, with a new system provided by Sabre. The conversion process involved moving from two suppliers (Amadeus and Resiber), whose systems were previously required to cover the complete role of the passenger service system, to a single supplier (Sabre), and is expected to result in substantial savings over the coming years. For the near future, we are contemplating the migration of TAM’s reservation system to Sabre in order to achieve the synergies of having a unified passenger service system.

Airline Operations and Route Network

We are one of the main air transport operators in Latin America. As of February 29, 2012, we operated passenger airlines in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia. We are also the largest air cargo operator in the region.

As of February 29, 2012, we operated scheduled international services from Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia through Lan Airlines; Lan Express in Chile; Lan Peru in Peru; Lan Ecuador in Ecuador; Lan Argentina in Argentina and Lan Colombia in Colombia. International passenger traffic has grown significantly in the past couple of years due to demand growth, market share gains, increased connecting traffic to and from other Latin American countries, the launch of new routes and additional frequencies on existing routes, and expansion into new markets.

Our international network combines our Chilean, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Argentinean, Colombian and Colombian affiliates.Brazilian subsidiaries. We have operated international services out of Chile since 1946, and1946. Over time we have greatly expanded our international services, offering flights out of Peru with the creation of LanLAN Peru in 1999, and out of Ecuador through Lanthe creation of LAN Ecuador in 2003. In2003, and out of Argentina with LAN Argentina in August 2006, we expanded our international operations through Lan Argentina, which until then had only been offering domestic flights. Theflights, and out of Colombia in 2010 through LAN Colombia, following the acquisition of Aires. Most recently, our international operationsservices grew significantly with the business combination between LAN and TAM in June of Lan Colombia, however, are being reduced since its acquisition in 2010. This2012. As of January 31, 2014, we now offer 24 international destinations.

Our strategy to generally expand our international network is aimed at enhancing our value proposition by offering customers more destinations and routing alternatives, maximizing aircraft utilization, increasing load factors, leveraging complementary seasonal patterns, and optimizing our commercial efforts. Our sustained development of our international network has been a crucial factor in our long-term growth. We provide long-haul services out of our fiveseven main hubs in Santiago, Lima, Guayaquil, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Sao Paulo and Bogota.Rio de Janeiro. We also provide regional services from Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia and Colombia.Brazil. Since 2004, we have growncontinued to consolidate our intra-Latinhub in Lima, which serves as the center of our Latin American operationsnetwork and also complements our intercontinental network, by opening new routes and increasing flights on existing routes out of LimaLima. After LAN and TAM’s combination in 2012, we have been also focused in building a new regional hub at Sao Paulo, Guarulhos airport, which we see is becoming one of the most important gateways into South America and where we have seen an increase in international traffic in the last years. In regard to position it asthis new hub, ongoing infrastructure investments plus the recent approval from Brazilian authorities to reallocate our main regional hub.airport slots at Guarulhos are facilitating the construction of this hub for LATAM Airlines.

In line with our long-standing commitment to provide customers with superior service and the best products on the market, in May 2009 LANwe completed the retrofit of all itsof our long-haul fleet (including itsour Boeing 767 and Airbus A340 passenger aircraft) with the new Premium Business class and improved Economy class. Combining the best features of the traditional First and Business classes, the new Premium Business includes 180 degrees recline full-flat seats which allow passengers to sleep with the maximum comfort and privacy. Premium Business also includes top-level personalized in-flight service. Changes in Economy class include new seats with a greater recline angle, a cushion that slides forward for increased comfort and convenience, and larger individual video monitors for each seat.

During 2013, LATAM received two additional Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, ending the year with five aircraft of this model, out of an order of 32. The configuration of the cabin on the Boeing 787-8 aircraft includes 217 economy class seats and 30 seats for Premium Business class. One of the new features offered in the new Premium Business class cabin is a 100% horizontal full flat seat with the same dimensions of our current seat that includes foot support, a memory system that records the seat position chosen by the user and lumbar massage, and our new Economy class features reclining ergonomic seats. The incorporation of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners into our fleet will allow us to achieve important savings on fuel consumption and the sustainable expansion of our fleet (as the Dreamliner produces up to 20% less CO2 than similar aircraft), while incorporating modern technology to deliver the best travel experience for our passengers. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Operations and the Airline Industry—We have invested in new Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” aircraft.”

LAN’s sustained development of its coverage has been a crucial factor in its growth and 2011 was no exception. New routes were added along with flight increases in some key existing routes in order to offer more and better alternatives to both business and tourist travelers. In 2011, the Company continued to consolidate its hub in Lima, which serves as the center of its Latin American network and also complements its intercontinental network, by opening new routes and increasing flights on existing routes.

As part of its mission, LANLATAM seeks to promote tourism to South America. Due to its large network of services, visitors from around the world can experience world renowned destinations such as Cusco, Easter Island, the Galapagos Islands, Iguazu Falls in Brazil, or Patagonia in Chile and Argentina, including the cities of Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, El Calafate and Bariloche.

Domestic Passenger Operations

LATAM provides domestic passenger services within Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia, through LAN, LAN Express and regional subsidiaries, including LAN Peru, LAN Ecuador, LAN Argentina and LAN Colombia, and, in Brazil, through TAM Linhas Aereas.

Business Model for Domestic Operations

In 2007, we initiated an important projecta new business model to redesign our domestic business operations with the goal of developing the industry and increasing efficiency and improving the margins of LAN’s short-haul operations, specifically with respect to ourthe domestic operations in Chile and Peru. The new business model was first tested in the last quarter of 2006. A key element of this projectbusiness model has been to significantly increase the utilization of our narrow body fleet, which we have been successfully achieving through modified itineraries including more point-to-point and overnight flights. We removed the Boeing 737-200 aircraft from our fleet in favor of the new more efficient Airbus A320-Family Aircraft. The Airbus A320-Family Aircraft fleet utilization reached approximately 9.849.4 block hours per day in 2011.2012. The transition to a newer fleet allows for lower unscheduled maintenance costs as well as cost efficiencies achieved through operating fewer fleet types and operational efficiencies, including lower fuel consumption.

OtherAnother key elementselement of our newthis business model areis the reduction in sales and distribution costs through higher Internetinternet penetration and reduced agency commissions, a faster turnaround time and increased self-check-in service through web check-in and kiosks at airports. These initiatives, together with simplifications in back-office and support functions, will continue to allow us to expand operations while controlling fixed costs, spurring a reduction in overhead costs. We have begun to pass on these operating efficiencies to consumers through significant fare reductions, which we expect will have a strong effect ofin stimulating new demand.

In 2007, we implemented all aspects of this new business model in the Chilean and Peruvian domestic markets. We launched our new short-haulmarkets, and began to implement the business model on all domestic routes in Chile in April 2007, after a marketing campaignArgentina that same year. In 2009 we began in March 2007. We launched the newto implement this business model in all domestic Peruvian routes in January 2007.Ecuador as well.

As a result of the implementation of this business model, we increased the number of passengers transported in all domestic markets. Between 2006 and 2011, the number of passengers transported increased significantly:has increased:

 

112%280% (from 2.5 million to 5.39.5 million) in Chile,

from 2006 to 2013,

 

123%388% (from 1.7 million to 3.98.3 million) in Peru,

from 2006 to 2013,

 

200%283% (from 0.6 million to 1.92.3 million) in Argentina, from 2006 to 2013, and

 

with a minor effect21% (from 3.3 million to 4.0 million) in Ecuador, as we just started domestic operations during 2009.

from 2009 to 2013.

Over the past three years we have sustained constant growth in each of our domestic passenger operations, and between 2010 and 2011 we achieved an increase in domestic transported passengers at 11% which include operations within Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador.

We plan to continue with the implementation of this business model during 20122014 in Colombia and Brazil and we are evaluatinghave started its implementation in some regional routes, as we look for ways to increase operational efficiency, encourage direct sales and self check-in, and implement new sales strategies aimed at stimulating demand.

Operations within Chile

Through Lan AirlinesLAN and LanLAN Express, we are the leading domestic passenger airline in Chile. We have operated domestic flights in Chile since the Company’s creation in 1929. As of February 29, 2012,During 2013, we flew to 1316 destinations within Chile (including Santiago, but not including Easter Island, which we consider an international destination even though it is a part of Chile, because we serve it with long-haul aircraft) as well as some seasonal destinations. Lan AirlinesLAN and LanLAN Express have integrated passenger operations, including operations under the same two-letter “designator reservation code,” and have coordinated fare structures, scheduling and other commercial matters in order to maximize cooperative benefits and revenues for the two carriers. Our strategy is based on providing frequent service to Chile’s main destinations, offering a reliable and high quality service, and leveraging our strong brand position in Chile and abroad. We evaluate our network of domestic routes on an ongoing basis in order to achieve optimal operational efficiency and profitability. Our strategic objective is to maintain our leadership position in our domestic routes.

During 20112013 we operated an average fleet of 2122 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in the Chilean domestic market, and we plan to operate an average fleet of 2426 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in 2012.2013. Domestic operations in Chile werehave been positively affected by the greater utilization of the latest-generation Airbus fleet and the retirement of the Boeing 737-200s. Nowadays, LAN’sAirbus A318-100s. Currently, LATAM’s domestic fleet in Chile has an average age of 32 years.

The new business model was launched nationwide within Chile in April 2007. We reduced sales costs by increasing direct sales to 80% in 2011 (with 63% of our 2011 sales done through the Internet) and by reducing agency commissions from 6% to 1% in February 2007. We also increased fleet utilization, crew productivity and the average flight leg through schedule changes. Additionally, we simplified our processes, which helped to increase the self check-in rate from 81.5% in 2010 to 82.7% in 2011. Finally, we utilized the greater efficiency of the Airbus aircraft to reach operational efficiencies such as reducing the turn-around time, increasing our punctuality (which reached 87.5% in 2010 and 87% in 2011) and lowering fuel consumption. As of December 31, 2011, we operated 100% of our ASKs with our Airbus A320-Family Aircraft fleet.

According to JAC data, the Chilean domestic market as a whole transported approximately 7.09.5 million passengers in 2011 and it had2013, an increase of 17.6%13.7% from 8.3 million passengers transported in terms of passengers from 5.9 million in 2010.2012. Our domestic passenger market share in Chile was 76.4% for 2011.76.8% in 2013 as measured in revenue passenger kilometer (RPK). During 2011,2013, our main competitors in the domestic market were Sky Airlines and PAL Airlines which began operationswith domestic passenger market shares as measured in June 2009. Sky Airlines currently operates a fleetRPKs of 13 Boeing 737-200 aircraft19.4% and flies to 12 destinations. PAL Airlines currently operates a fleet of 5 Boeing 737-200 aircraft and flies to 4 destinations.3.0% respectively.

There are currently no foreign airlines participating in the Chilean domestic market. Chile permits foreign airlines to operate in Chile. Additionally, there are no regulatory barriers that prevent a foreign airline from creating a Chilean subsidiary and entering the Chilean domestic market using that subsidiary.

Operations within Peru

LanLAN Peru started operations in 1999 with both domestic and international flights from Lima. During the pastlast ten years LanLAN Peru has expanded consistently, consolidating its domestic operations and coverage of the relevant markets with a continuous focus on improving our excellence for service. Self-check-in levels have grown steadily in recent years, reaching 80% for domestic routes in 2013.

Regarding the domestic market, Peru has tremendous potential, compared to other Latin American markets, based on per capita travel ratios. In 20112013, the domestic market in Peru reached 5.98.3 million passengers, and 6.3an increase of 14.8% from 7.2 million passengers are expected fortransported in 2012. During 2013, LAN Peru increased daily frequencies in some flights from Lima to destinations such as Piura, Chiclayo and Iquitos; added some new direct flights between Cusco and Arequipa and Puerto Maldonado; and added new nightly flights to Cusco, the country’s most important tourist destination, being the only airline providing this flight schedule. LAN Peru flies at least three times daily to each of its 14 destinations except Tumbes, Pucallpa, Puerto Maldonado and Tacna (2 or 3 flights daily).

LanLAN Peru began 2013 with a fleet of 14 Airbus A319 Aircraft. During the year, one of the Airbus A319 aircraft was phased out of the fleet and 3 Airbus A320 aircraft were incorporated, one of them including sharklets. With this, LAN Peru has one of the most modern fleets in Latin America, operating 22 Airbus A319 aircraft, with 14 for domestic operations and 8 for regional operations. This fleetwhich is ideal for the characteristics of Peruvian routes, as it maximizes available payload in high-altitude airports. In terms of efficiency, a uniform A320 family fleet also allows for low maintenance costs, high crew productivity and operational flexibility.

Fleet utilization slightly decreased from 10.6 flight hours per operating day in 2012 to 10.3 flight hours per operating day in 2013.

Compared to 2010, LanIn 2013, a total of 5.3 million passengers traveled on LAN Peru’s domestic operations in Peru showedroutes, which represented an expansionincrease of 3% (as measured in RPKs) during 2011, despite the aggressive plans from competitors.17.1% compared to 2012.

Lan Peru expects to increase the connections between cities within the country. Cusco, the country’s most important tourist destination, accounts for most of Lan Peru’s domestic operations and is served by 17 flights each day. Lan Peru flies at least three times daily to each of its 13 destinations from Lima with Tumbes as an exception (2 flights daily).

Regarding airport services, Lan Peru has over 103 domestic daily arrivals and departures. Self-check levels have grown steadily in the past years, reaching 79% for domestic routes at the end of 2011.

Operations within Brazil

TAM Linhas Aereas, is the leading domestic passenger airline in Brazil, and has operated domestic flights in Brazil since the company’s creation in 1961. As of January 31, 2014 TAM Linhas Aereas has flights to 40 destinations (42 airports) within Brazil as well as some seasonal destinations. The strategy is based on providing strong connectivity through a network based on the main Brazilian cities, offering a reliable and high quality service, and leveraging our strong brand position in Brazil and abroad. TAM Linhas Aereas evaluates our network of domestic routes on an ongoing basis in order to achieve optimal operational efficiency and profitability.

The domestic market in Brazil has historically suffered from overcapacity, which resulted in very low load factors compared to industry standards, which has negatively impacted the financial results of domestic airlines in recent years. However, this trend began to change during 2012 and has significantly improved during 2013, as major airlines have reduced domestic capacity, and the capacity discipline is expected to continue during 2014. LATAM has continue to make significant progress in the turnaround of the domestic Brazil passenger operation, improving profitability by increasing load factor through the rationalization of capacity and improved revenue management through better segmentation of the market. During 2013, TAM reduced its capacity by 8.4% as measured in ASKs, leading to an increase of 6.1 percentage points in load factors on a year-over-year basis, despite the 0.8% decrease in traffic measured as RPKs. As of January 31, 2014, we operate an average fleet of 120 aircraft in the Brazilian domestic market. During 2014, we expect to further benefit frommaintain our capacity flat in order to continue improving the turnaround process that took place during 2011. By continuing the improvementprofitability of Lan Colombia’s standards and by working along with travel agencies in Colombia, we aim to approach the Colombian corporate segment. Furthermore, we expect to phase out during 2012 the first 3 Boeing 737-700s passenger aircraft operated by Lan Colombia and replace them with LAN’s Airbus A320s. Through these initiatives, and by consolidating LAN’s presence in Colombia, we expect to reach break-even for our Colombiandomestic passenger operations byin Brazil. TAM utilized the greater efficiency of the Airbus A320-Family aircraft on short-haul flights in order to gain operational efficiencies, such as more efficient fuel consumption.

According to ANAC, the Brazilian domestic market as a whole transported approximately 90.0 million passengers in 2013, an increase of 1.4% as compared to 89.0 million in 2012. TAM Linhas Aereas domestic passenger market share in Brazil as of the end of 2012.the year was 39.9% as measured in RPKs. During 2013, TAM’s main competitors in the domestic market were GOL, the merged airlines Trip and Azul, and Avianca Brazil. GOL (including Webjet) ended 2013 with a domestic passenger market share of 35.4% while Trip-Azul and Avianca Brazil had market shares of 13.2% and 7.2% respectively.

Nowadays, Lan Colombia has seven weekly frequencies to Miami, being that its only international destination. In the medium term, Lan Colombia will evaluate the expansion of international passenger operations and the advantages of any synergies it may obtain from LAN Cargo’s affiliate in Colombia, Lanco, launched in March 2009.

Passenger Marketing and Sales

Even though we market our servicesFollowing the business combination, LATAM will continue to operate under two brands, LAN and TAM.

LAN’s Passenger Marketing and Sales

Within the common “LAN” brand, we differentiate our marketing strategies between our long-haulinternational (long-haul) and short-hauldomestic (short-haul) services.

Our long-haul marketing strategy emphasizes attributes valued by our international customers, including reliability, high quality on-boardcustomers: a reliable, high-quality service centered on entertainment and ground service, comfort comprehensive coverage of keyfor long travel. We also highlight our extensive network covering the most important South American marketsdestinations and frequent service to major overseas gateways such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Madrid and Sydney. In ordera continuing effort to strengthenfulfill this promise, we continuously improve our market position, we have continued improving our passenger cabins and review our service and constantly monitorprotocols. Our Business Cabin features a premium on-board service aimed to provide our corporate image.customers with more time to rest. As such, in December 2008 andfor our Economy Cabin, our upgraded entertainment units make their flight a more enjoyable one. In May 2009 we completed a retrofit program for our Boeing 767-300 and for our Airbus A340-300 fleet respectively, merging the Businessto upgrade and First Classes cabins intoimprove our long-haul fleet. See “—International Passenger Operations” for a Premium Business Class featuring full-flat seats, new entertainment units for both Premium Business and Economy cabins, together with a new on-board service. We invested US$124 million in this retrofit program for alldescription of recent improvements to our long haul passenger aircraft, which aims to give our passengers a sense of a “shorter” and more pleasant flight. For our Business passengers, our cabin features an on-board service aimed at providing the passenger with more time to rest, and for our Economy Class passengers, our upgraded entertainment units aim to make the flight a more enjoyable one. international fleet.

In October 2010, LAN decided to renew the seat configuration of its Boeing 767-300,B767-300s which included improvements thatan increased the capacity offor each airplane from 221 to 238 seats. The original configuration had 191 seats in the Economy cabin and 30 seats in the Premium Business cabin. Thecabin, the new Economy seat configuration increases the number of seats in the Economy cabin to 220 and decreases the numberamount of seats in the Premium Business cabinseats to 18. This seat configuration will be used in those markets with a higher demand of tourism demand and/and / or lowerlow corporate travel demand. This strategy allows us to obtain higher revenues and a more efficient cost managementtravel.

Our long-haulcurrent fleet plan includesaverage age is 6.9 years and it’s been decreasing since the incorporationarrival of 5 of the 32 new Boeing 787 in the second half of 2012.aircraft we ordered. LAN will bewas the first airline in Latin America,the Americas, and one of the firstfourth in the world, to receive this model whosewith the latest-generation technology and cabin innovations represent a revolution inthat was an innovation breaking point for the airline industry. Passengers willcan immediately experience the Boeing 787’s advantages in the form ofadvantages: higher cabin humidity and increased comfort. The acquisition of these Boeing 787s787 airplanes will allow us to reach new destinations and boost LAN’s existing services while also continuing to increaseincreasing the efficiency of our operations and reduce our carbon footprint. See “—International Passenger Operations” for a description of recent improvements to our international fleet.

Our short-haul operations are designed to better match thefit our customers’ needsneed in those routes, which arethese routes: punctuality, reliability, highermore frequencies, modern aircraftaircrafts and efficient operations. To deliver this value proposition, we have been increasing our fleet and frequencies with more point-to-point flights, improved punctuality and streamlined processes including Internet sales, web and mobile check-in and airport self-check-in. As such, these routes now feature modern planes, with leather seats, increased frequencies with more point-to-point flights, improved punctuality and streamlined processes including Internet sales, web check-in and airport self-check-in. We completedAll of the phase-out of our Boeing B737-200 fleet in 2008 and replaced it with modern Airbus Family Aircraft such as A320, A319 and A318. Nowadays, all our domestic operations (which include(Chile, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia) followhave the same business model which aimsseeks to make air travel accessible to more people through low fares supported by a low-cost operation based on the efficient use of our resources.

Our short-haul fleet is also growing and will continue being renewed during the next six years with the acquisition See “—Domestic Passenger Operations” for a description of 89 additional Airbus 320 family aircraft. These aircraft have the latest security standards in the industry, as well as improvements in the interior cabin design and new seat technology. They are 13.0% percent lighter than the current models sold by Airbus, and therefore they allow lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. These aircraft are also are more comfortable for passengers since they have leather seats with integrated foam and more in-flight entertainment screens. In addition to this, the upper bins include mirrors that ensure visibility of carry-on luggage among other improvements of interior design. All changes in these aircraft were designedrecent initiatives to improve our domestic fleet, including the travel experience forintroduction of modern Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in most of our passengers on domestic and regional flights.

On November 26, 2010, LAN acquired Aires (rebranded as Lan Colombia in 2011), a Colombian carrier, which holds an average of 19.0% of the domestic market share as of December 31, 2011. This important addition to the LAN group made it possible for LAN to start operating within Colombia, adding 22 domestic destinations to the already existing international operation.operations.

We are constantly focused on delivering the services and flight items valued by customers in order to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and we continuously monitor our customers’ preferences through surveys and perception studies. As a result,In response to comments received from our business travelers, in November 2007 we created the new Premium Economy class on some regional routes in response to comments made by our business travelers.routes. The Premium Economy program grants our customers preferential check-in and boarding, access to our VIP lounges, priority baggage claim, exclusive cabins with only twelve passengers, and personalized attention by our cabin attendants, among other benefits.

As mentioned above,Our short-haul fleet is also growing and renewed with the more Airbus 320 and 321 coming during the next years. These aircrafts have the latest security standards in the industry, improvements in the interior cabin design and new seat technology. They are 13 percent lighter than the aircraft they will replace, resulting in lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. They also are more comfortable for passengers since they have leather upholstery and more in-flight entertainment screens. In addition, the upper bins have mirrors that ensure visibility of carry-on luggage among other improvements of interior design.

Our main concern is to deliver our promise to our customers. Therefore, we have been implementing a new business modelconstantly monitor our customer satisfaction with in-flight surveys and research, and measure our performance against the highest standard levels. This commitment to excellence has paid off with several prizes and recognitions given by customers and industry experts such as Skytrax’s “2013 Best Airline in all our domestic operations (which include Argentina, Chile, Peru, EcuadorSouth America”, Business Traveler’s “2013 Best Business Class” and Colombia) that seeksPremier Traveler USA’s “2013 Best Airline to make air travel accessible to more people through low fares supported by a low-cost operation based on the efficient use of our resources. During 2011 LAN received several awards solidifying the Company’s market position. These awards included Airline of the Year 2010 (AirFinance Journal) and Best E-commerce Website 2010 (E-commerce LATAM)South America”.

Branding

In March 2004, we launched our newThe “LAN” brand to bringwas launched in 2004 and brings together, under one strong international name, all our localof the affiliate brands such as “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” “LAN Colombia” and “LAN Ecuador.” We developed our newthe LAN brand and corporate image after an extensive process supported by a leading global branding agency.

Our corporate image is based on two core concepts: reliability and warmth, which support our promise of the best travel experience to, from and within South America. We are also committed to offer our customers with the best coverage to, from and within South America, and to promote sustainable tourism, helping develop the regions where we operate.

During 2005 And by best, we mean providing our customers with an excellent connection network and 2006, we focused on advancing the transition to our new brand image. This included the gradual repainting of our fleet, which was completedservice; being transparent and accessible; and promote sustainable tourism in the second quarter of 2006.countries where we do business. Our commercial strategy, centered on exploiting the LAN alliance concept, has been widely recognized, as exemplified by Airline Business magazine’s recognition of us in 2004 with its “Airline Strategy Award, Marketing.”

Using a single brand enabled our customers to better understand the common service and operating standards among our airlines, and our new image improved our visibility, which enhanced flexibility and increased the efficiency of our marketing efforts. It also provided a platform for the strategic use in mature markets of the following three powerful sub-brands, all relatedconnected to the LAN root:

the www.lan.com websiteLAN.com for the convenience of our web booking engine and services platform;platform (not incorporated by reference herein);

LANPASS for our frequent flyer program; and

LANTOURS, a sub-brand through which we offer travel packages, hotels and other ancillary products, as well as promote tourism activities to and from the regions in which we operate. LANTOURS took holdwas first introduced in Chile and is gradually being introduced into other key markets.

In December of 2011, we successfully finished the rebranding process of Aires as LAN, which required the painting of around 70.0% of its fleet; changing the image of all its sales offices and personnel to LAN; and most importantly, transforming Aires’ service to comply with LAN standards, thus fully incorporating Colombia’s operation to our current brand architecture.

Our regular brand tracking and marketing effectiveness measurements show outstanding results in brand consistency and recognition, improving year after year, with marketing investments managed at healthilyhealthy and stable rates. As the corporate values behind our umbrella brand encompass attributes applicable to both operations, long haullong-haul and short haul,short-haul, a single brand strategy has resulted in significant savings, as we only have to promote one master brand, thereby increasing the efficiency of our marketing efforts. We also closely monitor our corporate image to ensure our brand is always shown at its best.

Distribution Channels

We use direct and indirect distribution channels. In the past few years, we have focused on streamlining our distribution strategy in order to reduce costs and enhance the effectiveness of our commercial efforts. This effort has resulted in efficiency gains, and we believe it should lead to further benefits in the future.

Travel agents conduct indirect sales that accountedaccounting for approximately 43.0%49.8% of passengers during 2011.2012 and 47% in 2013. Our goal is to minimize indirect sales because of higher costs when compared to direct sales. So we are continuously introducing new projects in order to minimize the percentage of total sales that are indirect sales. We paid these travel agents standard commissions ranging from 0% to 7.0%9.3% depending on the market and the ticket region type (domestic / international). Consistent with our efforts to reduce commission costs and in line with current market practices, in recent years we have reduced standard commissions in several markets. However, we are now charging a fee to customers for sales done through our own ticket offices or call centers in most countries, leaving the Internet as the only free-of-charge distribution channel.

Travel agents obtain airline travel information and issue airline tickets through Global Distribution Systems, or GDSs, that enablethis enables them to make reservations on flights from a large number of airlines. We participate actively in all major international GDSs, including Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo and Worldspan. In return for access to these systems, we pay transaction fees that are generally based on the number of reservations booked through each system. As part of its continued commitment to its passengers, in late 2009, LAN signed a series of agreements with Sabre, one of the major suppliers of IT solutions in the global airline industry. Through these agreements, Sabre will provideprovides the Company with the most advanced technology in reservation and distribution systems, optimization of routes and operational planning. TheLATAM recently completed the process of implementing the new system platforms comprises a periodin August of adjustment and migration that will last between two and three years until its full implementation. These agreements represent2012. This new systems platform represents a major step in terms of innovation by implementing the industry’s most advanced technology to streamline business and operational processes, involved in the service the Company provides to its customers. These agreements will serveand enabled us to provide itineraries that best fit the needs of passengers and to provide simpler, agile and efficient services in airports and in the sales and distribution channels, improving LAN’s services in each of the stages of the travel experience.

Direct channels refer to sales by our own ticket offices, contact-centers and website. In 2011,2013, direct bookings accounted for approximately 57.0%65% of all our passengers.

We have an extensive sales and marketing network in over thirty countries consisting of more than 155200 domestic and international points-of-sale owned by us and approximately 45 general sales agents. We charge a fee to customers for sales completed through our own ticket offices or call centers in most countries, leaving the Internet as the only free-of-charge distribution channel.

Our contact-centers support the growth of our operations constituting a sales and a multi-service channel. During 2011, we continued to grow and develop new services to match the increasing expectations of our clients and the growth of our direct sales channels, in particular the www.lan.com website. Our main contact-center located in Santiago accounts for 781749 agents (of which 276246 are home-based) and 284212 agents in Lima. We complement our contact-center’s operations with third-party service providers that add approximately 6001050 agents who are located in Santiago, Lima and Buenos Aires. In total, all the centers handle more than 30,00037,500 calls/contacts per day, which mainly originate from the regions where we fly (South America, North America, Europe and Australasia) and cover fourfive languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and German). We have continually upgraded our systems by incorporating technological advances to enhance efficiency and customer service.

Our website, www.lan.com (not incorporated by reference herein), is an integral part of our commercial, marketing and service efforts. Together with other direct sales initiatives, our website provides us with an important tool to reduce our distribution costs. Our Internet-related sales have increased significantly in recent years, by 21.9% in 2009 compared to 2008, 22.0%22% in 2010, compared to 2009,22.6% in 2011, 42% in 2012, and 22.6% 2011 compared to 2010,64% in 2013, which amounted to a total of US$796.41.289 million internet-related sales in 2011.2013. We are continually improving our website, a key element of our new short-haul model, so that the technological platform can support the expected future growth.

Besides serving as a sales channel, we have utilized our website as a tool to provide value-added services and enhance communications. We send weekly promotional e-mails to more than 4.87.9 million subscribers. Members of our frequent flyer program receive their monthly balances and other information by e-mail and can access the data and redeem awards through our website. We have an active online marketing program which brings visitors to the website from search engines and travel-related websites.

During 2009 we improved several services on the website. We introduced the flexible award redemption service, which enables LANPASS members to obtain flights with their kilometers at any time of year. We also updated our Flight Information System to ensure accurate, real time information. In addition, we continued to promote our web-based check-in service for domestic and international flights. This system allows those passengers who are not checking-in bags, to go directly to the gate, and the remaining checked-in passengers, to leave their bags at a special bag drop counter and proceed to the gate. In addition to web-based check-in, we have 283 self-check kiosks in 13 airportskiosks. We have 95 in Chile, seven airports20 in Peru, three airports36 in Argentina; three airportsArgentina, 29 in Ecuador, 10 in Venezuela, 2 in Uruguay, 46 in Brazil, 13 in Germany and eight32 in Colombia. As of December 31, 2011,2013, the kiosk and web check-in utilization rate increased to 83.0%was of 80% for domestic routes in Chile, 80.0%74% for domestic routes in Peru, 54.0%56% for domestic routes in Argentina, and 50.0%56% for domestic routes in Ecuador.Ecuador and 51% in Colombia. We are planning to implement six kiosks at Miami and one at Easter Island. Also in 2010 we launched our LAN.com Mobile service, enabling our customers to check-in, verify their flight status and other itineraries using their internet-enabled mobile phones.

In 2010 LAN was recognized as the “Latin American E-commercee-commerce Company of the Year” by the Latin American e-Commerce Institute.Institute and in 2012 LAN was awarded with the “Best of the Web” price by the American company Compuware. Also, in 2013 LAN.com received “Electronic Commerce Leader in Tourism” by the e-Commerce Awards for Chile and Ecuador.

Electronic Ticketing

In 1997, we introduced electronic tickets, commonly referred to as e-tickets, and have since worked to increase their use. E-tickets are a key element of our sales efforts through the Internet and our call centers and they also produce important simplifications in our back-office, enabling us to significantly reduce distribution costs. Since 2008, the Company has issued all tickets as reached a 100% penetration of e-ticketinge-tickets on all LAN routes.

Also,routes and, during 2010 we completed the implementation of interline e-ticketing with all of ouroneworldoneworld® partners. By the end of 2013, we introduced electronic boarding passes accessible on smartphones. This electronic boarding pass is read by a laser pistol using a QR (quick response) code. It has been working on some routes at South America, and we hope to have 100% availibility of this feature during 2014.

Advertising and Promotional Activities

Our advertisement and promotional efforts are aimed at enhancing our brand positioning and supporting specific aspects of our commercial efforts. These activities include the use of television, print, outdoors and radio advertisements as well as direct and online marketing. We also have a growing social media presence.

During 2011,2013, our advertising campaigns wherewere mainly focused on continuing stimulating demand by implementing a pricing strategy that has made flying more accessible in ourthe domestic markets and within South America to those traveling especially for tourism. To this end, weWe are proud of having entered intoour partnerships with tour operators and tourism government agencies across the region (SERNATUR and “Chile es Tuyo” in Chile, PROMPERU in Peru, ProExport Colombia among others), which allowed us to reach new customers and to promote local and regional tourism in the markets where we operate. This is supported by the unique coverage and travel experience that we offer to those passengers traveling to, from and within South America.

We have also innovated our demand-generating advertising by promoting pre-low seasons special offers,season specials thus making our demand curves more stable and making it possible for us to offer to our customers all our destinations at very accessible prices throughout the year.

TAM’s Passenger Marketing and Sales

Within the “TAM” brand, TAM segregates its marketing strategies between domestic (short-haul) and international (long-haul).

Our long-haul strategy focuses on attributes valued by this type of client, with a number of initiatives focusing on in-flight services, which is where passengers get most of their travel experience and where high quality and comfort are the key differentials. We also view TAM’s large network as a significant differential, since TAM is the Brazilian airline with the largest international operation, offering broad coverage in South America, to Europe and the United States, as well as other international destinations through code-share agreements and alliances with other airlines.

In 2013, we started to implement initiatives in order to capture the synergies we expect, and to better align the international passengers’ travel experience for LAN and TAM.

The initiatives of synergy capture in the long haul business, include, for example, the joint purchase of in-flight entertainment, which made product standardization, content increase and savings possible, as a result of our higher purchasing power. Synergies in the onboard service, both in the short and long haul operations, were also captured as a result of an alignment in terms of the meals served in business and economy classes for LAN and TAM. This process included negotiations with suppliers, which resulted in better quality and savings.

As for the alignment of the travel experience, the main objective was the introduction of a service protocol, which includes the standardization of procedures for check-in and boarding, among others.

To strengthen TAM’s brand positioning, we invest in improving our cabins and services, and constantly monitor our corporate image through quantitative and qualitative surveys. For example, we have implemented a new quality management dynamic in TAM, which includes service panels and passenger satisfaction surveys, among others. The new dynamic includes standardized Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for TAM and LAN.

TAM short-haul operations follow international standards and meet certain client needs specific to such shorter routes, which include point-to-point frequency and operating efficiency. TAM operates two cabins (Business and Coach), maintaining the service standard by type of aircraft (narrow and wide body). Moreover, these routes are invaluable for frequent fliers since they enable the use of TAM Fidelidade membership points with no seat restrictions.

TAM operates Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft depending on demand and infrastructure restrictions. In 2010, we started the “brand elasticity” project, making air travel even more accessible through special fares for flights planned well in advance, with the focus on the tourism/leisure market, while continuing to service the important corporate market. With this project, we achieved a high rate of migration from road to air transport and an increasingly higher number of passengers that were flying for the first time.

TAM constantly focuses on delivering services and items valued by consumers to maintain client satisfaction and retention levels high. For this, we conduct various perception studies (such as NPS, brand funnel) and segmentation studies (Conjoint) to monitor and roll out action plans. As a result, in 2012 we redesigned our domestic fare profiles, making them simple and transparent for passengers, while clearly highlighting the benefits of each profile and the upsell value between bundles. Thus, passengers interested only in price have the option of more attractive fares, while those seeking additional benefits such as TAM Fidelidade membership points, priority services (baggage, check-in and boarding) and baggage allowance may access these services through a fixed preset amount. Passengers know how much they pay for additional benefits.

TAM has also implemented projects to generate additional revenues, targeting items that passengers prioritize, such as more leg room (Espaço Mais) and pre-purchase of excess baggage, among others, offered through convenient online services. During 2013, in recognition of some initiatives and goals achieved, TAM Airlines was awarded the second place in the category “Best airlines in South America” from Skytrax, only after LAN. In addition, TAM received awards such as: most reliable airline brand in the Brazilian market, according to a Survey of trustmarks, carried out by the “Seleções e pelo Ibope Inteligência” magazine; Top of mind according to Data Folha and Grupo Folha in the category “Airlines/ Transport”; Top of mind internet, according to Data Folha; and Most admired companies in the category “Airlines” in the subsector “Corporate Services” organized by the Carta Capital magazine, an important political, economic and cultural Brazilian vehicle. Additionally, TAM classified as the fifth most attractive airlines in the world in the social networks during the fourth quarter of year 2012, according to SocialBakers.

Branding

In 2008, TAM launched the strategic platform for a single brand, with TAM being the main brand that, through values, strategic positioning and language, guides other brands, services and business units, such as TAM Airlines, TAM Cargo, TAM Viagens, TAM Fidelidade, TAM nas Nuvens and others. Thus, we generate synergies among our businesses, always guided by the same values and the commitment to quality and relationship with our stakeholders.

During 2013, the frequent flyer program TAM Fidelidade completed 20 years of operation. To celebrate this date, we developed a big campaign in the social networks, where we were able to capture pictures from our clients, which we will then display in two aircraft from our fleet.

We also launched the “A gente faz um mundo por você” campaign, where we reinforced TAM’s focus on service. In line with this vision, our mission is to be the preferred airline of people, with joy, creativity, respect and responsibility.

Based on this strategic brand positioning, TAM seeks to offer accessibility to all of those who value an efficient, rewarding, safe and hassle-free experience. Whatever may be the need – whether business or leisure travel—we have created products and services that meet these needs.

Distribution Channels

TAM is constantly developing new sales channels to serve our clients, who can rely on the indirect sales channels, represented by travel agents and online travel agencies (OTA), as well as on the direct channel, through TAM.com, our call center, airport ticket offices (ATO), city ticket offices (CTO) and smart business. TAM’s call center is available 24 hours a day. We also sell tickets through our chain of stores located in the main cities of Brazil and in each airport where we operate. In addition, we significantly expanded the TAM Viagens store chain through franchises in the main cities across Brazil.

TAM was the first airline in Latin America to sell tickets online. Through TAM’s website, www.tam.com.br, users can purchase tickets online by paying or using TAM Fidelidade membership points, make reservations up to one hour prior to departure and access information related to the TAM Fidelidade program and the services available. TAM’s website is not incorporated by reference herein and shall not be considered part of this annual report.

In 2013, the indirect sales channels accounted for approximately 63% of total sales and 54% of tickets issued. One of our main challenges was to increase internet sales, which accounted for approximately 36% of total sales in the year. In terms of tickets issued, direct channels accounted for approximately 45% of all tickets, increasing substantially over the previous year.

TAM also recorded an increase of 46% in the utilization of self check-in kiosks during 2013 as compared to 2012. The average utilization for 2013 was 36%.

TAM plans to increase segmented direct sales in the leisure market and to make the booking of tickets, especially over the Internet, easier for our passengers. In 2013, we consolidated the sale of seats with increased leg room (Espaço Mais) within TAM’s e-commerce sales process and through the call center, facilitating access to this service and increasing direct sales.

During 2013, TAM launched a new service tool, with a virtual operator called Julia who is available in TAM’s site www.tam.com.br to assist passengers when needed. In addition, TAM began a check-in servisse that may be done by cellphone for flights departing from São Paulo to destinations in South America and Europe, and for flights departing from United Stated to Brazil.

Advertising and Promotional Activities

Our promotional and communications efforts are aimed at strengthening the brand positioning and providing support to specific commercial needs. These activities include initiatives in communication channels such as television, press, billboards and radio, as well as direct and online marketing.

During 2013, in order to reinforce the campaign “A gente faz um mundo por você”, we developed a promotional initiative in partnership with Coca-Cola and we materialized the Christmas dream of three Brazilian families, in the cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

In addition, we launched a search tool for airline tickets in the home page of the UOL, the main internet Brazilian portal. This initiative aims to facilitate the search for tickets and to strengthen the presence of TAM’s brand.

Frequent Flyer Program

OurDuring 2013, LATAM continued to harmonize the LAN and TAM frequent flyerflyers programs. Each program currently operates under its own brand and regulations, however, during 2013, changes were made to both programs in order to reduce key differences and to offer its members similar features and benefits, including the creation of new tiers in both programs, harmonizing qualification criteria for top tiers, and creating new benefits in order to offer all members better value. During 2014 LANPASS and TAM Fidelidade will continue with their programs rationalization and offering new cross benefits for their top tier members.

LANPASS

LANPASS, LAN, frequent Flyer Program, is called LANPASS.a key element of the LAN’s marketing and loyalty strategy. The objective of LANPASS is to generatereward customer´s loyalty, and as a consequence, LANPASS generates incremental revenue and customer retention through customer loyalty and targeted marketing.retention. Worldwide, as of February 29, 2012,December 30, 2013, LANPASS hashad approximately 5.88.5 million members.

CustomersLANPASS members earn LANPASS kilometers in their LANPASS accounts based on distance flown and class of ticket purchased, or by using services of other participantspartners in the LANPASS program. Based on an award schedule, customersCustomers can redeem kilometers for free tickets upgrades or other products.products in an online catalogue. Under our current frequent flyer program, our passengers are grouped into one standard level and threefour different elite levels based on each passenger’s flying behavior. These different groups determine which benefits customers are eligible to receive, such as free upgrades on a space-available basis, VIP lounge access and preferred boarding and check-in.

Aiming to increase redemption levels and expand redemption alternatives, in 2011In 2013 LANPASS increased the number of price levels for the redemption of tickets from three up to 14 (allowing the increase of number of seats available for redemption of kilometers), in order to give a better availability and flexibility for the customers. These new redemption price offers resulted inhad an increase of 28.0%22.0% in kilometers redeemed and 32.0% in award tickets redeemed by LANPASS’ members in 2011.2012.

LANPASS has highly rated partners, including other airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, retailers, and credit card issuers from the main financial institutions in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina Uruguay, United States and starting from 2012, also in Colombia.Colombia with Banco de Bogotá and Occidente both members of Grupo Aval. These partnerships give our customers the opportunity to accrueearn additional kilometers for using their services.

Through the incorporation of additional partners in 2011, LAN customers accrued 43.0% more kilometers than in 2010, by using other services different from the services offered by LAN and other airlines. In the banking segment, during 2010, LANPASS renewed its partnership with Santander Chile for another five years, spreading LANPASS accrual from credit/debit card to all retail banking offering. LANPASS also launched a new partnership with BBVA, a leading bank in Argentina, began to issue credit cards in the United States with U.S. Bank, and increased our offering in redemption catalogs in Brazil with Banco Itau.

In the non banking segment, LANPASS continues to leverage its member’s purchase behavior to partner with leading players in the markets and become the most attractive loyalty program in the home markets. In the past two years, LANPASS has entered into new industries, such as retail, supermarkets, automotive, real estate, drugstores and health care centers. As an active member of theoneworldoneworld® alliance, we have reciprocal frequent-flyer agreements with alloneworldoneworld® carriers. In addition to this, we have reciprocal agreements with other carriers, such as Alaska Airlines Aeromexico and TAM.Aeromexico. These agreements allow LANPASS members to accrue and redeem LANPASS kilometers ononeworld® flights. flights operated by these other carriers.

The LANPASS frequent flyer program aims to be the leading loyalty program in all of LAN’s home markets. In the past couple of years, we have implemented a number of marketing initiatives to increase customer’s engagement and activity with the program outside Chile.in all the markets. In 2011,2013, membership in LANPASS grew 32.0%continued growing at 18% in Peru, 27.0%Chile, 22% in EcuadorPerú, 6% in Argentina and 32.0%35% in Argentina. Furthermore,Ecuador.

TAM Fidelidade Program

TAM’s frequent flyer program, also called TAM Fidelidade, was the first loyalty program launched by a Brazilian airline and represents a key element in TAM’s marketing strategy. LATAM believes TAM Fidelidade is the most flexible in the market because it imposes no restrictions on flights or the number of seats available when members are redeeming accumulated points. TAM Fidelidade has more than 12.2 million members and approximately 26 million redeemed tickets have been distributed since its creation in 1993. Points earned by TAM Fidelidade members must be redeemed for tickets within two years.

TAM Fidelidade customers are classified in five different categories (Branco, Azul, Vermelho, Vermelho Plus (launched in 2013) and Black) and qualification for a particular category is based on frequency of flights. The rate at which points accumulate varies depending on membership tier. The Branco card is the base level of membership and cardholders accrue points each time they fly. Azul, Vermelho, Vermelho Plus cardholders receive progressively greater benefits and increased points for miles flown; allowing the holders to accrue redeemable points for free travel more quickly. Black members have additional benefits and conveniences for our most frequent flyers, such as access to a dedicated customer service group to help meet all of their needs.

TAM joined theoneworld® alliance on March 31, 2014 and TAM Fidelidade customers are able to accrue points and redeem flights ononeworld® carrier flights.

Points earned by TAM Fidelidade members must be redeemed for tickets within two years. This two year period for redemption limits the growth in liabilities arising from Multiplus, assuming a stable trend in relation to the number of passengers flying with LAN, who are memberswe carry.

Multiplus

In 2009, TAM launched Multiplus, a company designed to create a broader network in which TAM’s customers can earn points through the TAM Fidelidade Program. Multiplus is a coalition of loyalty programs that permits the accrual of points for redemption from products and services offered by many different partner companies, not just ours. We believe this expanded network helps to capture and retain customers and increase sales. It is attractive to our LANPASSless frequent flyer program, grew 7% during 2011.flyers because it allows them to accrue loyalty points in many ways besides flying. At the end of 2013, Multiplus had 472 partner establishments, including the TAM Fidelidade Program.

Multiplus is a publicly traded company in Brazil, and TAM owns 73% of the ordinary shares of Multiplus. We believe Multiplus is a source of value generation and after its initial public offering,

The company strengthened its corporate governance, dedicating a team that, we believe, will improve sales even more. TAM Linhas Aereas and Multiplus recently entered into an amendment of their operating agreement, which governs the relationship between the two companies and the purchase of airline tickets to be used for redemptions of Multiplus points. The new amendment, effective June 1, 2013, sets a fixed value for each 10,000 Multiplus points redeemed for TAM tickets during a 12 month pricing assessment phase. At the end of the pricing assessment phase, the price of tickets will be set by reference to the then available public fare for flights from the same origin to the same destination with the same duration and flight travel plan, less an agreed discount. This discounted price will also be subject to a maximum and minimum range, calculated with reference to a 5% cost variation (increase and decrease) from the fixed price per 10,000 points applicable during the assessment phase.

Our cargo business generated revenues of US$1,280.7 million in 2010 and US$1,576.5 million in 2011. This represented 28.3% and 27.6% of our total revenues, respectively. Cargo revenues declined 32.1% between 2008 and 2009 primarily due to the global economic crisis that affected the industry and the decline in salmon exports from Chile due to the ISA virus. Nevertheless, during 2010 and 2011 revenues increased 43.0% and 23.1%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis as we took advantage of the recovery of world cargo markets.

(1)Information provided for the Company as of December 31, 2012 has been presented on a pro forma basis and includes pro forma operating statistics for LAN and TAM’s respective cargo operations during such period.

Our cargo business generally operates on the same route network used by our passenger airline business, which is supplemented by freighter-only operations. Overall, itbusiness. It includes approximately 86145 destinations, (over 66of which approximately 136 are operatedserved by passenger and/or freighter aircraft and approximately 20 operated9 are served only by freighter aircraft). aircraft.

We complementderive our own international operations through coordination with our regional affiliates, MasAir in Mexico, ABSA in Brazil and Lanco in Colombia. ABSA also operates inrevenues roughly equally between the Brazilian domestic market since March 2009. We carrytransport of cargo for a variety of customers, including other international air carriers, freight-forwarding companies, export oriented companies and individual consumers. For information about our fleet, see “—Fleet—General” below.as follows:

We transport cargo in four ways: (i) inIn the bellies of our passenger aircraft (ii) in. We consider our passenger network to be a key competitive advantage due to the synergies between passenger and cargo operations and, accordingly, we have developed a strategy to increase our competitiveness by enhancing our belly offering. Additionally we may purchase belly space from other airlines pursuant to interline agreements.

In our own dedicated freighter fleet (iii) in belly space. As of December 31, 2013, our dedicated freighter fleet consisted of 12 Boeing 767-300 freighters, with a capacity for 54 tons of freight each, and four Boeing 777-200 freighters, with a capacity of 104 tons of freight each. At the end of 2013, we began the process to redeliver one B767-300 freighter that was leased from a third party, which we purchaseexpect should be complete during the first quarter 2014. Furthermore, from other airlines and, (iv) in aircraft thattime to time as warranted by market conditions, we may charter or lease aircraft pursuant to ACMI contracts (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance). Under the latter, which are also known as “wet-leases,” the lessor operates the aircraft and provides the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance pursuant to short- short—and medium-term contracts.

Prior to the combination of LAN and TAM, we complemented our international cargo operations with domestic cargo services through subsidiaries and affiliates. In August 2012, Aerolinhas Brasileiras S.A. (“ABSA”), LANs Brazilian cargo affiliate, and the cargo unit of TAM began the integration of their respective operations. Following the integration, the combined cargo businesses now operate in Brazil under the brand “TAM Cargo” and are operated by ABSA. We expect to leverage the TAM Cargo brand, which has significant recognition in Brazil, to increase our presence in this market.

Our international cargo operations are headquartered in Miami, whoseMiami. This geographical location positions it as theis a natural gateway for Latin American imports and exports to and from the United States. Since 2001 weWe have operated in our 380,000397,000 square-foot facilities within the Miami International Airport.Airport since 2001. In 2010 we upgraded this facility to enhance our ability to handle perishables and we leased an additional 117,000114,000 square-foot warehouse close to our main facilities. Furthermore, during 2013, LAN Cargo signed a contract with Miami Dade county lease 66,000 square-feet to build a maintenance hangar with capacity to service a Boeing 777-200 freighter.

The United States accounts for the majority of the cargo traffic to and from Latin America. Besides being the main market for Latin American exports by air, the United States is also the main supplier of goods, such as high-tech equipment or spare parts, transported by air to Latin American countries.

We operate to threesix destinations in Europe: toAmsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, whichMilan and Paris. The last five we serve via passenger aircraft (using our(with flights from Santiago, Lima, Guayaquil, Sao Paulo and/or Rio de Janeiro, depending on the destination), and Guayaquil),we serve Amsterdam through freighter operations. Additionally, we also serve Frankfurt (through bothvia our passenger flights and freighter operations since October 2002, when we signedconducted via our partnershipblock space agreement with Lufthansa Cargo (forCargo. For more information, on this agreement see “—Cargo Agreements” below), and Amsterdam (through freighter operations since October 2005).below.

In Latin America, the principal origins of our cargo are Chile, Colombia, Chile,Perú, Ecuador, Peru,Brazil and Argentina, and Brazil, which represent a large part of our northbound traffic. And forFor our southbound flights, Brazil is the main import market. In Brazil, we carry cargo for a variety of customers, including other international air carriers, freight-forwarding companies, export oriented companies and individual consumers. Colombia is Latin America’s largest market for exports by air to the United States, reaching an estimated 195,000 tons annually

In general terms, cargo flows are unidirectional. This characteristic is a key determinant in the structure of cargo operations as well as in the commercial conditions in the cargo business. This is especially relevant in markets featuring structural imbalances between inbound and outbound flows or during specific periods of such disequilibrium. Lack of demand in one particular direction may force airlines to rely on different markets in order to maximize loads on return flights. Furthermore, demand weakness in one direction may limit the capacity that is profitable to allocate to some routes, therefore creating pressure on fares in order to compensate for weaker revenues in one particular direction. The evolution of our international cargo operations has always been affected by the flow imbalances of the Latin American cargo markets, resulting in a dramatic shift in the relative weight of southbound and northbound cargo flows throughout the years. For example, from 2002 to 2003 our international operations were characterized by very strong export traffic out of Latin America, but gradual increases in import demand, as well as the deceleration of export growth, led to more balanced cargo flows during 2004. Further extension of this trend led to excess demand on southbound routes since 2005.

We have designed our operations, route network and commercial strategies with the flexibility required to respond to changing conditions. As such, during 2003 we allocated additional capacity to northbound routes and adjusted fares on northbound routes in response to excess demand. During 2004 we gradually adjusted our operations to leverage a more balanced demand environment by performing an increased number of direct roundtrips between key export and import markets. However, weakness in exports since 2005 has driven us to support the northbound segment of certain routes with stopovers in additional export markets, to reduce northbound fares to stimulate demand and to raise southbound fares.

The flexibility that this business model allows based on adaptation to changes in market trends was key for LAN’sto LAN Cargo’s operations in 20092007 when the business was affected by the contraction of import and export markets in response to the global economic crisis. In addition LAN Cargo saw a sharp drop in salmon exports from Chile as a result of an outbreak of the ISA virus. Such flexibilityIt also proved beneficial in 2009 when the business was affected by the contraction of import markets in response to the global economic crisis, and from 2010 to 2012 during the recovery of cargo markets. More recently it has also been a key element in the recuperation and growth experienced by LAN Cargo since 2010.that has allowed LATAM to weather highly competitive market conditions.

The sharp contraction of LAN’sLATAM’s traditional markets in 2009 - 2009—imports into the region and exports from the region – followed by the rapid recovery of demand in 2010 required the Company to fully lever the flexibility of its business model. During 2009 the Company implemented of a series of measures such as the adjustment of its capacity through a reduction in the number of planes rented under Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance (“ACMI”) agreements and adjustments in the operations of its own cargo fleet of Boeing 767F freighters. This process washas also been reinforced by the incorporation of twofour new Boeing 777-200F, the most modern and efficient cargo aircraft of their type in the world, with a capacity of 104tons of freight and a range of 9,045 kilometers when carrying its maximum payload. This significant investment allowed LANLATAM to consolidate its regional competitiveness by positioning it as the first airline in the region, and only the second internationally, to use these latest-generation cargo planes.

The Company also achievedDuring 2013, cargo traffic decreased 0.8%, reflecting a significant regional expansionchallenging scenario in 2009. In March, LAN Cargo launched Lanco,Latin American cargo markets due to a subsidiarydecline in Colombia, which began operations after successfully obtaining the necessary operational and technical certification. It launched its services with two Boeing 767-300Fs, with a capacity for 54 tons of freight, connecting the cities of Bogotá and Medellín with Miami. It is important to note that Colombia is Latin America’s largest market for exports by air to the United States reaching an estimated 200,000 tons annually.

In addition, in March 2009, the Company’s cargo subsidiary in Brazil, ABSA, began operations in that country’s domestic market, with one flight daily,demand on routes from Monday through Friday, between the cities of Sao Paulo and Manaus. On this route, ABSA operates an advanced-technology Boeing 767-300F with a capacity of 54 tons. This route accounts for a large part of Brazil’s airfreight traffic. Manaus is the country’s fourth largest city in terms of GDP, with a large number of companies, principally part of the electronics sector, in its industrial pole. The special tax incentives offered by the Amazon capital of Manaus as part of efforts to promote the area’s development, make it an attractive alternative for exporter and importer clients.

During 2010, revenue growth in the cargo business continued to reflect the Company’s ability to exploit the expansion in global cargo flows, as well as the development of key strategic initiatives. Active capacity management, with the purpose of optimizing capacity assignation coupled with new revenue management tools to manage cargo rates in response to demand, enabled LAN Cargo to benefit from the growth trends seen in import marketsUSA to Latin America, especially to Brazil. The expansion of operations toBrazil and Argentina, which was partially offset by better demand on routes from Europe utilizing the new Boeing 777-200 freighter fleet strengthened the Company’s competitive position and further diversified its revenue base. Additionally, through its Brazilian affiliate, ABSA, the Company continued to strengthen domestic cargo operations in Brazil. During 2010, ABSA launched operations from Sao Paulo to Recife and Fortaleza and added a second daily flight from Sao Paulo to Manaus. The Company also added capacity by securing three leased Boeing 767-300F, two of which were incorporated in late 2010 and one in early 2011. Furthermore, the Company continues to successfully optimize the capacity of the bellies of passenger aircraft to transport cargo, maximizing the synergies of the Company’s integrated passenger and cargo operation.

During 2011, cargo revenues grew 23.1%, reflecting the increase in traffic, with a growth of 11.5% of RTK. Capacity, measured in ATKs, increased 12.4% during 2011, resulting in a decrease of 0.5 points in load factors compared to 2010, reaching 69.6% in 2011. Yields increased 10.4% compared to 2010, driven by continuous improvement in revenue management tools, route optimization and higher transfer of costs through the surcharge fuel, increasing revenue per ATK in 9.5%.

The Company continues to increase selectively its capacity in order to meet demand in major markets where it operates. The growth of import flows in Latin America continues, but the weakening of cargo markets around the world has stimulated competition in South America, especially Brazil, where carriers from other regions have started operations. On the other hand, export volumes are recovering, partly driven by a gradual resurgence of exports of salmon in Chile. This capacity growth is being primarily fulfilled by the Company with the use of three Boeing 767-300F freighters, delivered to the Company between November 2010 and January 2011 with the purpose to increase its capacity on routes from Latin America to North AmericaUSA, as well as increased competitive pressures from regional and Europe and routes between United States and Mexico. Furthermore,international cargo carriers.

Because of the Company continues to optimize its cargo capacity by using the bellies of passenger aircraftdifficult environment for cargo purposes, maximizing in this wayoperations around the synergies of integrating the operations of both businesses.

During the last six years, we also improved our competitive position as key operators reduced their operations, and competitors such as UPS and FedEx either downsized their operations or exited some markets. Since mid-2004,world during 2013, competition increased in the region as regionalinternational carriers added idle capacity but despiteto service cargo operations. Despite this increase in competition, we have been able to maintain solid market shares in large part because of theby efficient utilization of our fleet and network. Today, on Latin America-United States routes, our main competitors are Centurion, Transportes Aéreos Mercantiles Panamericanos S.A., or TAMPA, and PolarAVIANCA Cargo, Atlas Air and onAmerican Airlines. On the Latin American-Europe routes, our main competitors are Cargolux, Lufthansa Cargo, Martinair, Air France-KLM, and recently Emirates Airlines.

Cargo Agreements

Since 2002, LanLAN Cargo and Lufthansa Cargo have hadoperated pursuant to a block space agreement betweencovering Europe and Latin America. As part of this agreement, Lan Cargo allocateswe allocate space to Lufthansa Cargo on itsour flights between selected cities in Latin America and Europe, and Lufthansa Cargo allocates space to Lan Cargous on its flights between Europe and Brazil and Argentina.Brazil.

We also have interline, codeshare and other commercial agreements with Asian carriers such as Korean Airlines, JAL, China Airlines, Air China and Cathay Pacific through which Lan Cargo receiveswe receive space allocations from these airlines to move our cargo from Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong to hubs in the United States—Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Miami connectingalso in Europe—where we can connect with our cargo network. In exchange, Lan Cargo provides themwe provide these airlines with space from these same two hubs in the United States and Europe to all Latin American destinations and also feedsprovide them with westbound cargo.

Marketing and Sales

Our sales and marketing efforts are carried out either directly, whenwhere we have a local office, or through general sales agents. In Latin America we have our own offices in all key markets.markets, adding during 2013 a new office in Paraguay. In the United States, we have our own offices in Miami, New York and Los Angeles, and work with representatives in various other cities. In Europe, we have offices in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Madrid and MadridParis (opened in 2013) and use agents in other key cities. Finally, inIn Asia, all our sales efforts are doneconducted through general sales agents. In total, we maintain a network of more than fortythirty independent cargo sales agencies domestically and internationally.

Our cargo marketing strategy emphasizes our combination of freighter and passenger aircraft cargo capacity, which allows customers to ship large, bulky freight, as well as smaller, high-density cargo, fresh products, express shipments, and other types of cargo. Our cargo marketing strategy also emphasizes our high-quality services, scheduling flexibility and punctuality. In particular, during 2013 we renewed our focus on service including the formation of a new Customer Care team fully dedicated to proactively informing clients about any shipment problems that might arise and providing timely solutions.

On some routes, Lan Cargo offerswe offer special, value-added products such as Positive Flight Specific or FS,and Priority 1, which enables the customer to choose a specific passenger flight or access first available freighter capacity to transport its goods. During 2010, we also launched the first phase of a new revenue management project aimed at optimizing yields. In 2011, we obtained the first benefits of ayields, which has resulted in better capacity and overbooking administration and better pricing practices.practices in 2011, 2012 and 2013. During 2012, we started the roll-out (in New York, Miami and Mexico) of our online booking system (e-booking) allowing our customers to make reservations 24/7.

Cargo-RelatedCargo Related Investigations

In February 2006 the European Commission (“EC”), in conjunction with the Department of Justice of the United States (“DOJ”), initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them Lan Cargo, LAN’s cargo subsidiary)LAN Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the European and United States air cargo markets. On December 26, 2007, the European competition authorities notified LanLAN Cargo and LANLATAM of the initiation of proceedings against twenty-five cargo airlines, among them LanLAN Cargo, for allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the airfreight business.

On January 21, 2009, LanLAN Cargo announced that it had reached a plea agreement with the DOJ in relation to the DOJ’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the plea agreement, LanLAN Cargo agreed to pay a fine of US$88 million. In addition, ABSA also reached a plea agreement with the DOJ and agreed to pay a fine of US$21 million. These amounts were stipulated to be paid over a five-year payment schedule starting in 2009. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2012, the pending amount2014, there were no amounts remaining to be paid during the next four years is approximately US$54 million and has been recorded within “Other Accounts Payable.”paid.

On November 9, 2010, the EC imposed fines toon 11 air carriers for a total amount of €800 million (equivalent to approximately US$1.1 billion). The fine imposed against LanLAN Cargo and its parent company, LAN, Airlines, totaled €8.2 million (equivalent to approximately US$10.9 million). The Company provisioned US$25 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 for such fines, and maintained this provision until the fine was imposed in 2010. In 2010, the Company recorded a US$14.1 million gain (pre-tax) from the reversal of a portion of this provision. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results.” This was the lowest fine applied by the EC, which includes a significant reduction due to the Company’s cooperation with the Commission during the course of the investigation. In accordance with European Union law, on January 24, 2011 this administrative decision was appealed by LanLAN Cargo and Lan AirlinesLAN to the General Court in Luxembourg. Any judgment by the General Court may also be appealed to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a US$14.1 million gain (pre-tax) due to the reversal of a portion of the provision related to the investigation in the cargo business carried out by the European Commission. This was as a result of the fine announced in November 2010, which was lower than the amount provided for. This reversal is recorded in Other gains/(losses).

The investigation by the DOJ prompted the filing of numerous civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including LanLAN Cargo and LanLATAM Airlines Group, including fifty-four in the United States. The cases filed in the United States were consolidated in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York and the original complaint was subsequently amended to include additional airlines, including ABSA. On May 11, 2011, LanLAN Cargo announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the class action plaintiffs in relation to this litigation. As per the settlement agreement, LanLAN Cargo agreed to pay US$59.7 million. Furthermore, ABSA also reached a settlement agreement with class action plaintiffs and agreed to pay US$6.3 million. The amounts were paid to plaintiffs’ counsel escrow account in 2011. DHL, a former member of the civil class action plaintiffs, timely opted out of the settlements agreement. LAN Cargo reached a settlement agreement with StarBroker A.G., on behalf of DHL Global Forwarding, whereby LAN Cargo agreed to pay US$8.2 million, of which US$7.1 million was recovered by LAN Cargo from the escrow amount set aside in the class action settlement previously paid by LAN Cargo for opt out plaintiffs.

In February 2006 theThe Canadian Competition Bureau (“CCB”), in conjunction with the DOJ, also initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them LanLAN Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the Canadian air cargo markets. Givenmarkets in 2006. On August 20, 2013, LAN Cargo reached a plea agreement with the current stageCCB in relation to the CCB’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the proceeding, it is not possible at this timeplea agreement, LAN Cargo agreed to anticipate with any precision the outcomepay a fine of the investigation.US$975,000. The CCB’s investigation prompted the filing of four separate civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many

airlines, including LanLAN Cargo and Lan AirlinesLAN, in Canada. . On January 31, 2012, the respective Board of Directors of Lan AirlinesLAN and LanLAN Cargo approved a settlement agreement with the class actions plaintiffs. As per the settlement agreement, Lan Airlines and Lan Cargo agreed to pay theplaintiffs for an amount of CAD$700,000 (Canadian Dollars). The settlement agreement and payment are pending court approval.

On April 5, 2008, Brazilian authorities notified ABSA of the initiation of administrative proceedings before theConselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (the Brazilian Antitrust Authority)(CADE) against several cargo airlines and airline officers, among them ABSA, for allegations of anticompetitive practices regarding fuel surcharges in the air cargo business. On September 3, 2013, CADE published its decision to impose a fine of US$51,020,000 against ABSA. CADE also imposed fines upon a former Director and two former employees in the amounts of US$1,020,000 and US$510,000 respectively. On December 5, 2013 ABSA filed its application for Administrative Reconsideration before CADE which remains pending. ABSA will also have the right to appeal the final decision of CADE before Judge in a formal judicial proceeding. Given the current stage of the proceedings, it is not possible at this time to anticipate with any precision the outcome of the civil actions filed against Lan Cargo,this matter, although it is expected to be a lengthy process.

In June 2008, the Korean Fair Trade Commission notified LAN of an investigation into the air cargo industrySee “Item 8. Financial Information—A. Consolidated Financial Statements and its non-compliance with the Monopoly RegulationOther Financial Information—Legal and Fair Trade Act and has requested information and documentation from LAN, which LAN duly submitted. On May 26, 2010 the Korean Fair Trade Commission announced the imposition of penalties against 29 other airlines and excluded LAN from further investigation.Arbitration Proceedings.”

The New Zealand Commerce Commission also initiated an investigation into potential anti-competitive activities in the international air cargo markets and requested information and documentation from LAN, which LAN duly submitted. On December 15, 2008, the New Zealand Commerce Commission announced it would focus its investigation on ten airlines and excluded LAN from further investigation.

We operate different aircraft types as we perform various different missionsservices ranging from short-haul domestic and regional trips to long-haul trans-continental flights. We have selected our aircraft based on the ability to effectively and efficiently serve these missions while trying to minimize the number of aircraft families we operate.

For short-haul domestic and regional flights we principally operate the Airbus A320-Family aircraft and, since the acquisition of Aires (rebranded as LAN Colombia in 2011),2010, we also operate the Boeing 737-700 aircraft, the Dash 8-200 aircraft, and the Dash 8-4008-Q400 aircraft. The Airbus A320 Family that we currently operateA320-Family has been incorporated into our fleet pursuant to operating leases or havehas been purchased directly from Airbus pursuant to various purchase agreements since 1999. The last purchase was made in June 2011, where we ordered 20 A320 NEO aircraft. Consequently, as of February 29, 2012 we had outstanding orders for seven Airbus A319 aircraft, 52 Airbus A320 aircraft, 10 Airbus A321 aircraft for delivery between 2012 and 2016 and 20 Airbus A320 NEO aircraft for delivery between 2017 and 2018. Our purchase contracts with Airbus provide for some flexibility with regard to future changes in aircraft types and delivery dates. We believe that our fleet of A320-Family Aircraft will allow us to provide broader service across Latin America as well as the domestic markets that we serve given their longer range. We also believe that they will enable us to increase efficiency levels through reduced fuel consumption and maintenance costs.

For long-haul passenger and cargo flights we operate the Airbus A330-200 aircraft, the Airbus A340-300 aircraft, the Airbus A340-500 aircraft, the Boeing 767-300 passenger and cargo aircraft, andthe Boeing 777 Freighterpassenger and cargo aircraft and, since the fourth quarter of 2012, the Boeing B787-816 aircraft. The Boeing 767-300 aircraft’s size and range provides an optimal alternative for most of our long-haul passenger and cargo routes. Additionally, the commonality between the passenger and dedicated cargo versions allows us to leverage the ensuing economies of scale. We believe that these aircraft provide a key efficiency advantage over our peers, especially in the cargo business. The Boeing 767-300 aircraft that we currently operate have been incorporated into our fleet pursuant to operating leases or have been purchased directly from Boeing pursuant to various purchase orders since 1997. As of February 29, 2012 we had outstanding orders for 13 Boeing 767-300 aircraft. We also operate fiveOur Airbus A340-300 and A340-500 aircraft are also well-suited for long-haul routes. Givenroutes, given their range and four-engine configuration, these aircraft are well suited to perform trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific missions out of Santiago. In the future, we will operate Boeing 787 aircraft for our long-haul fleet, for which we have placed 26 orders and committed six operating leases. We expect to receive our first Boeing 787 in 2012. For our cargo operations, we operate 12 Boeing 767 freighter and 2 Boeing 777 freighter. We expect to receive two Boeing 777 freighter aircraft during 2012. For more information, see “Item 10. Additional Information—Material Contracts”.configuration.

During the first quarter of 2009, we initiated the process of incorporation ofincorporating winglets which are advanced technology devices, in all our passenger and Freighterfreighter Boeing 767-300 aircraft. Winglets are placed on the wings of an aircraft causingand have resulted in an approximate 5% reduction in average fuel consumption.consumption per year. The total investment in this project amountsis expected to be approximately US$100 million. As of February 29,December 2012, 4352 aircraft operated by LAN have been modified and US$76 million of the total investment has been disbursed.modified. We expect to continue withcompleted the implementation of this project during 2012 as we continue to receive Boeing 767s.

Fleet Leasing and Financing Arrangements

OurLATAM’s financing and leasing methods include borrowing from financial institutions and leasing under financial leases, tax leases, sale-leaseback transactions and pure operating leases. As of December 31, 2013, LATAM had 339 aircraft, of which 11 were in redelivery process, totaling 328 aircraft in operation. Of these aircraft, 161 are operated by LAN and 167 aircraft are operated by TAM.

In 2000, to finance AirbusAs of December 31, 2013, LAN’s operating fleet was comprised of 107 financial leases, 5 tax leases, 44 operating leases and 5 unencumbered aircraft as loan guarantees. Most of the LAN’s financial and tax leases are structured for a 12-year period. LAN entered into a US$1.3 billion umbrella credit facility with a syndicate of international financial institutions under which the Company borrowed in the form of separate loans in connection with the specific financing requirements of each Airbushas 32 aircraft (including pre-delivery and long-term financing). This umbrella facility was guaranteedleases supported by the English, French and German Export Credit Agencies. The repayment profile for each aircraft financed under the facility was for a period of up to eighteen years. Under this financing package LAN incorporated Airbus aircraft into its fleet through operating leases, financial leases and tax leases. Even though this facility covered the aircraft scheduled to be delivered under our 1998/9 Airbus purchase agreements through December 31, 2006, the Company decided to fund the 2006 deliveries with a new facility negotiated in 2006. This new facility financed the acquisition of

eight Airbus A319 delivered in 2006;

five A318 and two A320 delivered in 2007;

ten A318, two A319 and two A320 delivered in 2008; and

three A319 delivered in the first quarter of 2009.

This new US$920 million facility is similar to the previous one as there are separate loans drawn in connection with the specific financing requirements of each Airbus aircraft and is also based on support guarantees from the European Export Credit Agencies namely Compagnie Francaise d’Assurance pour le Commerce Exterieur (Coface), Euler Hermes Kreditversicherungs-AG (Euler Hermes) and the Secretary of State of Her Britannic Majesty’s Government acting by the Export Credits Guarantee Department (ECGD). Under this financing package LAN incorporated into its fleet Airbus aircraft through financial leases. The facility covered 85.0% of the purchase price of each aircraft plus the associated export credit agencies premium. The remaining 15.0% was funded directly by the Company. There is no remaining drawdown availability under this facility.

Between 2004 and 2006, LAN ordered 15 Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft and freighters for delivery between 2005 and 2008. In 2004 the Company structured a new syndicated facility for US$260 million to finance the entire cost of the two Boeing 767-300 freighters delivered in 2005 and the first Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft delivered in 2006. In 2005, LAN finalized the syndicated facility to fund the purchase of four Boeing 767-300 passenger and freighter aircraft for delivery in 2006. Between 2005 and 2006, LAN also finalized two additional syndicated facilities to fund the purchase of the remaining eight Boeing 767-300 Passenger aircraft. Three of these aircraft were delivered in 2007, and five were delivered in 2008. Each loan with respect to these aircraft is guaranteed by theU.S. Export-Import Bank of the United States (“Ex-ImEXIM Bank”) with a twelve-year profile for the financing of 85.0% of the aircraft value.

In June 12, 2005, LAN finished the payments with respect to a Boeing 767-200 aircraft that was held under a financial lease. This aircraft was subleased to a third party at market rate until December 2011. As of February 29, 2012, the aforementioned aircraft was in process of being returned by the third party to LAN.

In 2006, LAN also ordered three additional Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft for delivery between 2009 and 2010. The first aircraft, which was delivered in November 2009, was financed through the issuance of an Ex-Im-Bank guaranteed bond and through LAN’s own funds (85.0% and 15.0%, respectively). The remaining two aircraft were financed through a new Ex-Im Bank guaranteed facility and through LAN’s own funds (85.0% and 15.0%, respectively).

In April 2007, LAN entered into two lease agreements with GE Commercial Aviation Services for the lease of two Boeing 777-200LR freighters, for delivery in 2009. In October 2007, we signed a purchase agreement with the Boeing Company for two additional Boeing 777-200LR freighters to be delivered in 2011 and 2012. In March 2010, LAN and the Boeing Company agreed to switch the first Boeing 777-200LR freighter for two Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft to be delivered in 2011.

In the second half of 2007, the Company decided to acquire thirty-two new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft with deliveries initially scheduled between 2011 and 2016. The Company entered into a purchase agreement with the Boeing Company for 26 of these aircraft and entered into a leasing agreement with theInternational Lease Finance Corporation for the remaining six aircraft.

In November 2008, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for four additional Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft to be delivered in 2012. In March 2010, LAN decided to replace three of these passenger aircraft with three Boeing 767-300 freighters to be delivered between 2013 and 2014. The fourth aircraft was rescheduled to be delivered in 2011. During the last quarter of 2010, LAN decided to exchange the three Boeing 767 Freighters with three Boeing passenger 767-300 aircraft with deliveries in 2012. As part of this same contract, LAN also ordered a Boeing 777 Aircraft to be delivered in 2012.

During 2008, LAN decided to exercise 15 options to acquire A320-Family Aircraft. Six of these aircraft were delivered in 2010 and the remaining nine were delivered in 2011. In March 2010, LAN entered into a credit facility to finance the entire pre-delivery payments attached to these 15 aircraft. In April 2010, LAN entered into an agreement to finance the purchase of these 15 aircraft partially guaranteed57 supported by the European Export Credit Agencies and partially through its own funds (85.0% and 15.0%, respectively)(the “ECAs”).

In the third quarter of 2010, LAN entered into three lease agreements with GE Commercial Aviation Services for the six year lease of Boeing 767-300 Freighters already delivered in November 2010, December 2010 and January 2011.

In December 2009, LAN entered into a purchase agreement with Airbus for 30 aircraft of the A320 family to be delivered between 2011 and 2014.

In July 2010, LAN entered into a purchase agreement with Airbus for an additional 50 aircraft of the A320 family to be delivered between 2012 and 2016.

In September 2010, LAN entered into two new six-year LAN’s operating lease agreements with AerCap formaturities are within a maturity range from 2 A320 aircraft for our operations in Colombia.

In January 2011, LAN entered into a seven-year lease agreement with the Bank of China Aviation Pte. Ltd. for one A320 aircraft.

In February, 2011, LAN increased its long haul aircraft orders by three Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft with deliveries in the second half of 2012. In May 2011, LAN ordered five additional Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft to be delivered between the last quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013.

In June 2011, LAN signed a purchase agreement with Airbus for 20 A320 of the NEO Aircraft family, from which 10 of them are expected to be delivered in 2017 and the other half in 2018.

As of February 29, 2012, and as a result of the aircraft purchase agreements entered into with Airbus in 2009, 2010 and 2011, LAN has 89 Airbus passenger aircraft of the A320 family expected to be delivered between 2012 and 2018.

During the last quarter of 2011, LAN signed a purchase agreement for two Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft with deliveries in the third and fourth quarter of 2012.

Regarding our Boeing fleet, nine Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft are expected to be delivered in 2012 and four in 2013. We expect 32 Boeing 787-8/9 passenger aircraft to be delivered between 2012 and 2018 and two Boeing 777-freighter to be delivered in 2012.

As of February 29, 2012, we held 49 aircraft under operating leases compared to 46 as of February 29, 2011. Twenty three of these aircraft are related to Lan Colombia domestic operations which consist of 9 Boeing 737-700, 10 Dash 8-200 and 4 Dash 8-400 aircraft. Under the terms of our operating leases, we are required to return the aircraft in an agreed upon condition at the end of the lease. Although the title to the aircraft remains with the lessor, we are responsible during the lease term for the maintenance, servicing, insurance, repair and overhaul of the aircraft.12 years.

As of December 31, 2011, aggregate future minimum lease payments required under2013, TAM’s operating fleet included 86 financial leases, 12 tax leases and 69 operating leases. For accounting purposes TAM classifies 9 tax leases as operating leases in the financial statements. TAM has 14 aircraft supported by EXIM Bank and 27 supported by the ECAs. TAM’s operating leases maturities are within a maturity range from 5 to 13 years.

LATAM’s aircraft debt, which is comprised of financial and tax leases, is denominated in US dollars and typically has quarterly amortization payments. The financial leases have a bank as counterparty and the tax leases have a bank and a third party involved. 69.5% of our aircraft operatingdebt has fixed rate and the balance has floating rate debt based on USD LIBOR. During 2013, LATAM refinanced and pre-financed all of its Boeing deliveries for the year with EX-IM guaranteed bonds.

Going forward, LATAM will be the entity that takes delivery and act as the lessee on all related leases of all aircraft for the group. Pursuant to this strategy, all Boeing and Airbus aircraft deliveries during 2013 (8 wide body aircraft and 27 narrow body aircraft) were US$705 million. Our operating leases have terms ranging from three monthsmade to twelve years fromLATAM, and LATAM has the date of deliveryability to sublease them to other airlines of the aircraft. Forgroup.

In order to reduce balance sheet FX exposure to the Brazilian real, LATAM plans to transfer all the TAM aircraft financial leases up to the LATAM level. As of March 31, 2014, 10 aircraft were transferred to LATAM which helped to reduce the exposure by approximately US$205 million.

During the first quarter of 2014, LATAM entered into a sale-leaseback transaction for 8 B777-300 passenger aircraft for a lease term of approximately 5 years in order to gain more information, see Note 2.21 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Maintenance

LAN’s Maintenance

Our heavy maintenance, line maintenance and component shopshops are equipped and certified to service our entire fleet of Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier aircraft. Our maintenance capabilities allow us flexibility in scheduling airframe maintenance, offering us an alternative to third-party maintenance providers.

LAN facilities at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile are among the most extensive in Latin America and have been certified according to IOSA standards and as a FAA approved repair station. Our hangars and components shopsfacilities at our Santiago repair station can service the Boeing 787, Boeing 767, Boeing 777, Airbus 340 and Airbus 320 Family Aircraft fleet, as well as designing and manufacturing galleys, structures and composite materials. We also have the capability to retrofit aircraft interiors, including sophisticated in-flight entertainment equipment, and blended winglets in the Boeing 767 fleet. LAN facilities at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia can service the Boeing 737 and the Dash 8 Q200 - Q4008-200 fleet.

Our engineering and maintenance division is supervised by the local DGAC and it is subjected to several recurrent external audits from civil aviation authorities and international entities such as the FAA, the ArgentineDireccióAdministración Nacional de AeronavegabilidadAviación Civil (the National Directorate of Airworthiness) (“DNA”ANAC”), the BrazilianAgencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (“ANAC”), the EcuadorianDirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (“DGAC Ecuador”), the PeruvianDirección General de Aeronáutica Civil(“DGAC Peru”), the ColombianUnidad Administrativa Especial de Aeronáutica Civil (the UAEAC), the International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (“IOSA”) (from the International Air Transport Association or “IATA”) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”), in order to strictly comply with applicable regulations. The audits are conducted in connection with each country’s certification procedures and enable us to continue to perform maintenance for aircraft registered in the certificating jurisdictions. Our repair station holds FAA Part-145 certifications under these approvals.

We also rely on third parties for certain maintenance support for our aircraft and engines.engines, where long term partnerships take place with the following MROs (Maintenance Repair and Overhaul facilities): Lufthansa Technik provides our Airbus A320-Family Aircraft and A340 Aircraft component support on a power-by-the-hour basis under a long-term contract, which runs until 2019.support. International Aero Engines, and CFM International and Pratt & Whitney, provides the A320 and A319 engine support on a power-by-the-hour contract, which runs for twelve years once each engine is received. Pratt and Whitney provides the A318 engine support on a power-by-the-hour basis contract, which runs for ten years once an engine is received. General Electric provides the maintenance of our Airbus A340 engines under a similar contract, which runs for twelve years once an engine is received. In addition, General Electric provides for the maintenance of most of our Boeing 767 engines under a contract effective until 2013. Third parties also provide certain additionalFamily engine maintenance services. Air France-KLM, whichGeneral Electric also provides engine maintenance services have been contracted until 2015, provides the maintenance of our Boeing 777 engines and components and to ourfor Boeing 767-300 components.aircraft as well as Air France KLM for the Boeing 777-300F, which also includes components support.

We occasionallyOccasionally, we perform certain maintenance services for other airlines.

Our aircraft maintenance personnel participatesparticipate in extensive training programs at the jointly operated Lufthansa LAN Technical Training S.A., located in Santiago, Chile.

In 2011, LAN continued implementing the management system known as LEAN in an effort to increase efficiency throughout its maintenance network. The adoption of this system constituted a redesigning of processes which detect problems during aircraft maintenance and offer a solution. The foregoing renders the daily tasks and processes carried out within the Company more efficient. Internationally, the LEAN system has been defined as a methodology for achieving excellence and continuous improvement. It seeks to eliminate activities that do not add value to processes, and suppressing those activities that are superfluous, thereby allowing companies to reduce costs, improve processes and increase customer satisfaction.

During the last year, LAN continuedcontinues to benefit from the implementation of LEAN in heavy and line maintenance. Heavy maintenance is performed approximately every 12–18 months or a specific amount of actual flight hours as defined by the manufacturer, while line maintenance is performed on a daily basis. In 2011,Since 2009, we have achieved a reduction of approximately a 30.0% reduction30% to 40% in the time an aircraft remains inat the hangar. Moreover, we achieved a 30.0% to 50.0% reduction of over 20% in the time for some of the most demanding tasks in line maintenance and a 15.0%over 30% increase on workers’ productivity. Other benefits of LEAN include a reduction of approximately 64.0%19% in labor accidents in heavy maintenance areas, a reduction of 80.0%approximately 80% on delaysdelayed deliveries of aircraft from programmed maintenance, and a considerable improvement on dispatch reliability. Furthermore, LEAN has had important benefits in terms of employee motivation, by establishing clear roles, setting new challenges and achievements,rewarding team achievements.

TAM’s Maintenance

In 2013 we started the implementationprocess of LEANintegrating TAM MRO capabilities and processes with LAN Heavy Maintenance capabilities and Heavy Maintenance outsourcing in a new coordinating LATAM MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) structure.

The LATAM MRO Business Unit provides services mainly for LATAM fleet but provides services for third-party customers as well. It has had an important benefitfacilities in São Carlos (SP/Brazil) Technological Center in its own area of 100,000 m�� with a dedicated runway of 1,720 meters and a facility in Santiago International Airport (Chile).

MRO São Carlos (TAM MRO) is certified and audited by major international aeronautical authorities such as FAA (USA), EASA (Europe), ANAC (Brazil), DGAC (Chile), ANAC Argentina, DGCA (Ecuador), DINAC (Paraguay), TC (Canada), among others, for Heavy Maintenance and Components Repair and Overhaul for Airbus A-320 family (A318, A319, A320 & A321) and Airbus A330, Boeing 767, ATR-42/72, and Embraer E-Jet 170/190 families. TAM MRO also has some minor capabilities for repair and overhaul of Airbus A340 and Boeing 777 components. MRO Santiago (LAN Heavy Maintenance) is certified and audited by FAA, ANAC (Brazil), DGAC (Chile), ANAC Argentina, DGCA (Ecuador), among others for Heavy Maintenance for Airbus A320 family (A319, A320 & A321), Boeing 767 and 787. Both MRO facilities are FAA Part-145 certified repair stations.

In 2013 we expanded our capacity by one hangar in MRO São Carlos and now we can accommodate 7 aircraft (Narrowbody/Widebody) and 2 Regional/Turboprop aircraft simultaneously, and we have a dedicated hangar for stripping and painting. In that facility we also have 22 technical shops, including full Landing Gear repair & overhaul shop, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Electronics (ATEC), Electrical Components, Electroplating, Composites, Wheels & Brakes, Interiors and Escape Slides shops. In Santiago we have 2 hangars with 2 widebody slots and 1 narrowbody slot.

In 2013, TAM MRO effectively applied 1.5 million man-hours (a 10% increase compared with 2012), serviced 168 aircraft, including C, D and Special Checks for LATAM fleet and for third party customers, delivered approximately 58,000 components and performed 14 landing gear overhauls. In 2013, TAM MRO serviced almost 100% of all TAM’s Airbus A320 family and A330 demand for Heavy Maintenance, and 75% of demand for Components Repair & Overhaul. We expanded pursuing services for LAN fleet, reaching 15 Heavy Checks. TAM’s external maintenance and repair customers include Azul, Trip, Avianca, the Brazilian Air Force, Embraer, Goodrich, and Hamilton Sundstrand, among others.

TAM’s structure in São Carlos includes engineering capabilities, a full technical training center which develops TAM’s capabilities in terms of employee motivation.human skills with more than 6,000 students and 90,000 hours of training in 2013, providing 80 different basic courses, on-the-job training and special training such as structural, avionics, foreign language and leadership training and education.

In 2011 TAM started a turn-around process to achieve international MRO competitive standards in terms of costs, quality, reliability and time of deliveries (TAT). In 2012 TAM began to implement the LEAN system and other activities, including continuous process improvement culture, redesign of the production methodology in productive cells and scheduling of task through CCPM methodology (Critical Chain Project Management), development of shop-floor control systems and carry out VSM process modeling for Landing Gear shop. 2013 was the year of consolidation of these initiatives and in 2013 we accomplished a significant 7% reduction in turnaround times, increased ontime performance and improved quality of our services (as measured by reductions in post-check failures and premature components failures).

TAM’s line maintenance is fully capable to provide services to all types of Airbus and Boeing aircraft of TAM fleet. Operations in TAM’s extensive network of 41 domestic destinations are supported by TAM maintenance staff; in the international maintenance line stations, there is a mix of TAM staff and qualified outsourced line maintenance providers.

TAM’s maintenance and engineering organization in Brazil is supervised by the Brazilian Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (‘ANAC’). TAM Mercosur’s operations are supervised by the Paraguayan Dirección Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil (‘DINAC’). All operations are subjected to periodic audits by these regulatory authorities. As IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA)-certified airlines, TAM and TAM Mercosur are also periodically audited by IOSA-qualified Audit Organizations to guarantee fully compliance with applicable regulations.

In addition to the broad capability of TAM heavy maintenance facilities in São Carlos for aircraft and components, TAM relies on a range of qualified third parties maintenance providers, including MTU Aero Engines in Germany and GE Celma In Brazil for Airbus A320-Family IAE and CFM engines, General Electric facilities in USA and Europe for A330, B767 and B777 GE engines and Pratt & Whitney in Singapore for A330 P&W engines. Third parties also provide certain additional components applicable to TAM fleets.

LATAM Safety and Security

LATAM has been working to standardize LAN and TAM’s operational indicators regarding safety, audits and emergency response. This process of identifying synergies in LAN and TAM’s operational indicators has led to opportunities to improve processes and standardize operational processes and audits.

LAN’s Safety and Security Corporate Direction

The Safety and Security Corporate Direction (“SSCD”) is an internal division in charge of the management of safety and security matters related to flight operations, operative and administrative buildings, organization and coordination of emergency response matters, safety and security audits and safety and occupational health.

The SSCD reports directly to LAN’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), which reflects the firm commitment that the Company’s senior management has with its employees.to the Safety & Security. The SSCD is comprised of five independent reporting management areas: safety management, security management, emergency response management, Safety & Security Audit management and Safety and Occupational Health Management.

Safety Management

We give high priority to providing safe and reliable air service, as it is considered a fundamental asset to LAN and one of the basic pillars for the development of our Company.service. We have uniform safety standards and safety-related training programs that cover all of our operations. LAN has implemented a Safety and QualitySystem called LAN I-AMS (LAN Integrated Airline Management System (“SMS”)System) throughout the operational areas of the Company, which is certified by the Chilean DGAC and IOSA System. The SMSLAN I-AMS integrates Safety, Safety Assurance, Emergency Response, Security and Occupational Safety and Health management and provides clear definitions of the functions and responsibilities regarding operational safety for all persons involved, from the top to the bottom of the operational structure of the airline. It strengthens the commitment and knowledge required from everyone in the Company regarding any and all actions that could affect safety.

Flight Data Monitoring Management: The Flight Data Monitoring Area is responsible for the maintenance and administration of the recorded flight data and safety-related databases and software.

The main safety programs, elements and procedures include:

 

  

Flight Operations Quality Assurance (“FOQA”). Since the end of 2002, LAN has been implementing a Flight Data Monitoring (“FDM”) program using two different analysis programs. The FDM program is fully developed for the A320-Family Aircraft, A340, Boeing B767, B787 and B777 fleet. The statistical information obtained has produced standard operational procedure changes and valuable inputs to the Advance Qualification Program project. We have also fully developed a maintenance variation for the same fleets which monitors the engines, flight controls and general performance of the airplanes.

 

  

Mandatory Occurrence and Mandatory Reports. Our operations policy manuals define the incidents that require a mandatory report. On a voluntary basis, personnel can provide confidential reports to the flight safety area in hard copy or electronic form.

 

  

Safety Information Management. All safety information regarding all occurrences is entered into dedicated software Aviation Quality Database (AQD), where it is analyzed according to its potential risk. Important incidents are investigated thoroughly. The relevant areas related to each particular incident implement corrective actions with the assistance of the corporate operational safety directory.

 

  

Line Operation Safety Audit (“LOSA”). LOSA is a program designed to survey and analyzeanalyzes the safety components of our equipment and operations. LOSA observations have been conducted on the A-340, A-320 and Boeing B767 fleets. In 2007, a second LOSA observation has been applied to the A-340 fleet, which has given important information of the effectiveness of the corrective actions recommended by the first observation conducted in 2004.

The LOSA program will be applied to all A320 fleets in 2014 and is expected to be applied to the B787 fleet during 2016.

 

  

Human Factors Program. This program is based on a manual developed by LAN that includes all interconnectivities between flight operations and human factors. The program includes a Fatigue Risk Management Program that is being implemented since 2008. The program also includes Crew Resource Management and Flight Crews Training and study of incidents using the Threat and Error Management (“TEM”) model.

Quality Assurance and IOSA and ISAGO Certification Programs. Our flight and maintenance safety areas have a quality assurance system. Our safety management system is based on the ISO 9001-2000 standards. We also periodically evaluate the skills, experience and safety records of our flight crews in order to maintain strict control over the quality of our flight crews. All of our aircraft pilots participate in training programs, some of which are sponsored by aircraft manufacturers, and all are required to undergo recurrent training. LAN Airlines and passenger and cargo subsidiaries are IOSA registered. We also have ISAGO certification for LAN, LAN Argentina and LAN Ecuador.

We also have anperiodically evaluate the skills, experience and safety records of our flight crews in order to maintain strict control over the quality of our flight crews.

Since 1991, we have had no accidents involving major injury to passengers, crew or aircraft.

Security Management

The main policy and the essential principle of the Company is to ensure an adequate security protection to all its flights, aircraft, passengers, crew members, ground personnel, airport facilities and other services related to the commercial civil aviation against any threat or unlawful action.

The Company hasWe have implemented corporate policies and a quality management system through the operational system to detect any lack of security in its operations. Auditsoperations and assessments areprevent acts of unlawful interference. Risk analysis is used to assigndetermine different levels of security to be implemented to international and domestic operations.

The Security Corporate Security Manager (“CSM”SCM”) has the responsibility to evaluate, analyze and assign threatrisk levels (high, medium, low) to international and domestic operations, proposing security procedures for each scenario. The CSMSCM leads an organization of five security managers and approximately fifteeneight security specialists. These specialists analyze high risk flights and all the aspects of the operation that could cause an impact in the normal daily activities of the Company. Finally, the security management is controlled and audited constantly. The current CSMSCM is a former police officer with more than 25 years of experience in the civil aviation.

The corporate security organization has five main areas:

Security Management Manager

The main policy and the essential principle of security management is to ensure an adequate security protection for all TAM’s flights, aircraft, passengers, crew members, ground personnel, airport facilities and other services related to the commercial civil aviation against any threat or unlawful action. TAM has implemented corporate policies and a quality management system through the operational system to detect any lack of security in its operations. Audits and assessments are used to assign different levels of security to international and domestic operations.

The Corporate Security Manager (“CSM”) has the responsibility to evaluate, analyze and assign threat levels (high, medium, low) to international and domestic operations, and to propose security procedures for each scenario. The CSM is responsible for managing and coordinating security processes, procedures, measures and controls in accordance with the requirements described in the National Civil Aviation Security Programme, and participating in the development, implementation and continuous improvement of Airport Contingency Plans where TAM operations are conducted.

The Corporate Security Organization has four main areas:

Airport Security: This area has as its main goal to protect the organization against acts of unlawful interference. This team is formed by Supervisors and Security Agents (Document Screeners/AVSEC Security Agents) based at Guarulhos (GRU), Galeão (GIG), Manaus (MAO), Brasília (BSB) and Confins (CNF). The Corporate Security Department provides all resources necessary for maintenance of the security level appropriate to every international and domestic operations, working, cooperation and partnership basis with all other members of the Civil Aviation Security System, aiming solely to minimize threat risks in the company.

Corporate Risks: This area is responsible for conducting fraud investigations, risk prevention and background checks.

Property Security: This area is responsible for ensuring appropriate property security and access control for all TAM facilities, including TAM Cargo warehouses.

Security Training: This area is responsible for guaranteeing that all TAM members and representatives are properly trained in all matters required by Brazilian and International regulators.

The Corporate Security Department has been developing and implementing the Airline Security Programme (PSEA) in accordance with local and international regulators, which includes the following:

Processes & Procedures for domestic and international operations;

Corporate Security Training Program, which includes the contents and definitions regarding security training for all areas involved in acceptance of aircraft, baggage, cargo and passengers;

Airport Security Inspection Program. It has the contents and definitions regarding airport inspections and identification of security issues and corrective action plans for non-compliance.

Emergency Response Management Manager

The emergency response area is responsible for the administration of the Emergency Response Plan (ERP). It has been developed for the effective management of accidents and serious incidents with the purpose of mitigating any impacts on the passenger and their relatives and the operations.

The ERP consists mainly of:

Emergency Procedures. TAM has established a strong documented response to an adverse operational event that would force it to implement the various corporate resources in order to minimize the impact on the organization and deal with human impact with empathy and compassion.

Facilities: The Emergency Response Center (ERC) includes three principal areas: the Executive Committee, the Crisis Management Committee (CMC) and the Public Relations Monitoring Area, each of which are located in São Paulo, Brazil.

Station Response: According to IAC 200-1001, each TAM Station has its Local Emergency Plan and it will coordinate the assistance to victims and families with the CMC in Sao Paolo.

Assistance: TAM’s provide assistance to survivors and family members at the site in the immediate aftermath of an aircraft accident or incident.

Special Assistance Team (SAT). We have a humanitarian assistance program that we deploy for family and passenger assistance, with around 2,150 total active volunteers.

Go Team. We have a special team that will be deployed right after an occurrence involving passengers, crew or third parties affect by an occurrence involving TAM aircraft.

Telephone Enquiry Center. Our telephone enquiry center is located in São Paulo, Brazil, at our call-center office and has 630 agents in Sao Paulo and 150 agents in Buenos Aires. There are 180 lines available to establish a toll free number only for family members and victims in Brazil.

Notification to families: In accordance with IAC 200-1001 (Brazil), TAM is responsible for notifying families within 3 hours aftermath of an aircraft accident or incident.

Logistic Area. Immediately after an accident or a serious incident the CMC will deploy the Family Assistance Team to assist families and victims to establish a Family Assistance Center (FAC) in a hotel or similar near to the crash site, in order to support logistics issues.

Personnel Effects: TAM has contract with service vendor to provide property recovery and restoration, and disaster mortuary services.

Aircraft Recovery: TAM has used the Recovery Kit since 2008, which is certificated by International Airlines Technical Poll (IATP). The agreement signed with the IATP provides that all member airlines may use the TAM´s equipment and staff in the region. The equipment is applied to any type of aircraft (including A380).

Flight Data Monitoring

The Flight Data Monitoring Area is responsible for the maintenance and administration of recorded flight data and safety-related databases and software.

Flight Operations Quality Assurance—“FOQA”

Since May 2002, TAM has utilized a Flight Data Monitoring (“FDM”) program. The FDM program is fully developed for the A320-Family Aircraft, A330, Boeing B767 and B777 fleet. The statistical information obtained produces recommended standard operational procedure changes and other safety-related measures. We have started the development of a maintenance variation for the same aircraft types which will monitor the engines, flight controls and general performance of the airplanes.

Maintenance Safety Coordinator

The Maintenance Safety Area oversees our maintenance safety measures and investigates maintenance-related incidents using the Maintenance Error Decision Aid (“MEDA”) methodology.

Cabin Safety Coordinator

The cabin safety area coordinator is responsible for managing the safety of aircraft cabins, cabin safety investigations, cabin passengers and flight attendants.

Investigation & Safety Information Management Coordinator

All information regarding safety-related incidents is entered into dedicated software, where it is analyzed according to potential risk. Important incidents are investigated thoroughly. Each particular incident requiring corrective actions is addressed accordingly with the assistance of the corporate operational safety directory.

ASR—Aviation Safety Report Coordinator

The Aviation Safety Report (“ASR”), catalogues all confidential safety reports submitted by employees of the company. The ASR is an important tool for accident prevention. The management of the ASR system through the Aviation Quality Database (“AQD”) allows for the sharing of information and facilitates corrective actions by the Company). This system includes features to classify risk reports for management.

All ASR reporting is subjected to the following basic process within the AQD:

Analysis of facts and risks involved;

Issue relevant to the sector analysis and response;

Issuance of Note—Recommendation and / or Safety Bulletin;

Response to the author (if identified) attaching a copy of the ASR process.

Mandatory Occurrence and Mandatory Reports Coordinator

The Authority Operational Policy manual defines the incidents and occurrences that require mandatory reporting. Those reports are created by the Safety Department of the Company.

LOSA—Line Operations Safety Audit Coordinator

This program was recognized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”) ( and National Civil Aviation Agency—Brazil (“ANAC”) as a necessary tool to protect passengers and employees.

The implementation of this program has been used to improve flight safety in the Company, by recording behaviors observed during normal flights for experienced pilots and through the preparation of a mandatory checklist (form) developed by experienced pilots familiar with the program. Observations by the Threat and Error Management (“TEM”) may even propose appropriate changes to the system and processes.

MAS—Maintenance Assessment Survey Coordinator

This program is similar to the LOSA program, applied to the mechanics of the aircraft, following a methodology known as the Maintenance Climate Assessment Survey (“MCAS”) which is utilized by the Department of Defense (United States Government), as in other Brazilian and international airlines, with the goal of improving processes and system based on assessments of human behavior in maintenance activities.

Airport infrastructure, Air traffic control and Ground Handling Coordinator

This area of the Company is responsible for identifying and analyzing risks related to Airports, and ATC and Ground handling. This area of the Company utilizes tools such as: Airport Surveys, ASR, FOQA Analysis, accident and Incident Investigations to develop ways to reduce risk to acceptable levels.

Other Safety and Security Procedures

In addition the specific policies discussed above, LATAM maintains various other internal divisions and employees specifically designated to manage safety planning and maintenance, investigation, data collection and reporting regarding safety related events.

Fuel Supplies

Fuel costs comprise the single largest category of our operating expenses. Over the last years, our fuel consumption and operating expenses have increased due to the significant growth in our operations and to the increase in fuel prices as a result of economic and political factors. In 2011, the foregoing trend was affected by geopolitical instability in the Middle East and the2013 total fuel costs represented 33.8%35.0% of our total operating expenses. The into-wing (fuelprice for 2013, (average fuel price plus taxes and transportation costs) 2011 average final pricecosts, including hedge) was US$3.113.48 per gallon, representing a 34.2% increasedecrease of 5.6% from the 2010 average.2012 into-wing pro forma average fuel price. We can neither control nor accurately predict the volatility of fuel prices. Despite the foregoing, it is possible to partially offset the price volatility risk through our hedging and fuel surcharge programs in place in both our passenger and cargo business. For more information, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk of Fluctuations in Jet Fuel Prices”.Prices.”

The 7,500 square feet Neruda lounge, which represented an investment of approximately US$550,000Airport in 2001, has been widely acclaimed.São Paulo, Brazil. In 2005,Latin Trade magazine selected it as the “Best Airline Lounge” in Latin America. In the same airport2013, we also have the 4,300 square feet Mistral lounge.inaugurated two new facilities for ground handling equipment maintenance and repair at São Paulo’s Guarulhos Airport with 9,000 m² and at Rio de Janeiro’s Galeão Airport with 4,000 m².

Finally, we incur certain airport usage fees and other charges for services performed by the various airports where we operate, such as air traffic control charges, take-off and landing fees, aircraft parking fees and fees payable in connection with the use of passenger waiting rooms and check-in counter space.

During 2010, APV’s (“In-flight Service Supplier”) new 1,650 square meter facilities were completed in the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport.

The development of the new building for the facilities of Andes Airports Services (“Andes,” which performs ground handling services) is in process which is scheduled to be delivered during the second half of 2012.

Ancillary Airline Activities

In addition to our airline operations, we generate revenues from a variety of other activities. In 2011, LAN generated other revenues of US$132.8 million from ancillary activities.

Our totalactivities, including revenue from aircraft leases (including subleases, dry-leases, wet-leases and capacity sales to certain alliance partners) and charter flights, amounted to US$12.7 million in 2011.

On January 25, 2011 Lan Cargo S.A. and Inversiones Lan S.A., subsidiaries of LAN Airlines, signed a promise to sell to Bethia S.A. (“Bethia”) 100% of the capital in the LAN subsidiaries Blue Express Intl. Servicios de Transporte Limitada and Blue Express S.A. (together referred to as “Blue Express”), companies engaged in ground courier services, operating brands and certain computer programs.

The price stated in the promissory contract was US$54 million subject to any adjustments that might arise as a result of a due diligence to be conducted by Bethia. The transaction closed on April 6, 2011, with the execution by Lan Cargo S.A. e Inversiones Lan S.A. as sellers, and Servicios de Transporte Limitada and Inversiones Betmin SpA (subsidiaries of Bethia) as purchasers, of the respective contracts for the sale of 100% of the social capital of Blue Express in the terms agreed in the purchase promise. The final sale value of Blue Express was US$53.5 million. Since Blue Express’ book value was US$9.1 million, the sale generated a non-operational profit of approximately US$44.5 million, which was reflected on LAN’s 2011 results.

As a consequence of the sale of Blue Express in 2011, the Company’s courier business revenues fell from US$36.8 million in 2010 to US$11.0 million in 2011.

During 2011, we had revenues of US$44.0 million from tours, and US$16.9 million forfrom duty-free in-flight sales. The balance of our operating revenues, US$48.3 million in 2011, was generated bysales, from other maintenance, storage and customs, handling and others.activities and revenues of Multiplus. In 2013, LATAM generated other revenues of US$342 million from ancillary activities.

Insurance

We carry hullmaintain insurance thatpolicies as required by law and in accordance with the terms of all aircraft leasing agreements which LATAM and their affiliates and subsidiaries may own or we are responsible for or operate, including TAM and its affiliates and subsidiaries. The scope of these policies includes among otherall risk coverage “all risk,”for aircraft hulls, including war risks and allied risks, spares andthird party legal liability for passengers, cargo, mail, baggage and injuries to third parties. We renew our insurance coverage yearly,parties on the ground. Our current policies, which are in force through April 1, 2014 and are subject to deductibles that vary depending onrenewed annually, follow the coverage type andbest practices adopted by the loss type. Our deductibles are US$1,250 for loss or damage per occurrence associated with passengers’ baggage liabilities, US$10,000 per occurrence for loss or damage associated with cargo liabilities and between US$500,000 and US$1.0 million per occurrence for hull “all risk” insurance (depending on the aircraft type). Additionally, we have hull deductible coverage to reduce the net hull deductible to US$100,000 per occurrence (aircraft and/or engine).international civil aviation industry.

Since December 2006, we

We have negotiated common terms for Hull All Risk, Aviation Legal Liabilities and Spares coverage, together with BritishIAG Group (British Airways, Aer LingusIberia and their affiliates and franchisesfranchises), which allows us to obtain premium reductions and coverage improvements. In April 2011, Iberia, Air NostrumWe also maintain insurance in respect of the assets against the risk of theft, fire, flood, electrical damage and Vueling also joined to such group.similar events for equipment and buildings we own or for which we are responsible, including airport areas where we have operations. Similarly, we have contracted for vehicle insurance against the risk of robbery, theft, fire and civil liability against third parties for all vehicles we own or for which we are responsible.

Our insurance coverage has a one-year term starting in April of each year. The aggregate cost of our insurance coverage for the 2011 calendar year was US$16.3 million, excluding insurance relating to Aires, which represents a 4.6% increase in insurance expenses and a 17.2% decrease in average insurance rates compared to the 2010 calendar year.

Aires was covered under a separate insurance policy until October 1, 2011, when it was integrated under LAN’s policy. Its annual cost was US$7.9 million (US$7.3 million from January to October and US$0.6 million from October to December).

Information Technology

General

We use information technology in almost every aspect of our business.

Passenger Service System

Our reservations, departure control (check-in), inventory, flight planning and baggage tracing systems (“Passenger Service Systems, or “PSS”) are operated by Amadeus, Sabre, Iberia and SITA, and we operate our internal systems from two data center facilities in Santiago, Chile. In 2006, we implemented a Disaster Recovery Plan between those two sites in order to ensure the functionality of our critical systems, with a recovery time objective of four days. The line of business infrastructure currently has an average recovery time of two hours for 80% of our systems and two days for the remaining 20%. In 2012, we completed a significant “HOST” change from multiple legacy applications to implement a single supplier (Sabre) for our PSS, which contains the reservation, inventory and departure controls for LATAM Airlines Group.

Third-party suppliers provide us with the following technical infrastructure elements:

 

wide-area data network (provided mainly by SITA and Telefónica); and

 

data centers and desktop operations and support (provided by Accenture and IBM)HP).

Basic Infrastructure Operation

Since early 2010, we have outsourced our IT infrastructure with Accenture and IBM worldwide. During 2011 IBM managed the data center and Accenture handled our desktop equipment. In 2012 we will changechanged the managercompany in charge of managing of our data center from IBM to HP. This outsourcing allows us to:

deliverBetween 2010 and 2013, LAN upgraded its IT platform and optimized its solution for contingencies in case of a standard world-class service;

increase the efficiency of our IT operations;

convert fixed costs into variable costs;

guarantee that the service standards (such as up-time and response time) required by critical processes of our business are fulfilled;

accelerate critical infrastructure projects while significantly reducing the resources required;

increase the efficiency of our personnel; and

focus internal IT efforts on business functions, rather than basic hardware and software issues.

Telecommunicationsdisaster.

We have used the latest technology available with regard to our global telecommunications network. Our network has the capacity to transport voice, data, and video with the quality required by the Company, combining traditional private data channels with virtual private networks through the Internet.

Front-End Systems

During 2002, we deployed new systems to support our sales personnel. These systems provide the employees who have a direct contact with our customers with additional tools to improve service, enhance customer information and increase efficiency. During 2004 and 2005, we implemented these systems at our airport counters and our call centers.

Since 2005, we have favoredWe employ a strategy of encouraging and facilitating self serviceself-service alternatives for customers, through improving the functionality of the www.lan.com website as well as implementing self check-in kiosks in airports.

During 2009, we deployed a new online system in order to provide the processes that our engineering, maintenance and materials areas develop, with technological solutions. This project has allowed us to establish and automate simple and integrated processes, standardize processes for the Company (including our subsidiaries and related companies), facilitate handling of materials and maintenance, make relevant information available in a full, unique and consistent way to all users, and optimize distribution and execution (planned and non planned), among other benefits.

Enterprise Resource Planning

In 2002, we purchased an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system from SAP. This system, which was fully implemented in the second quarter of 2004 for Lan AirlinesLAN and almost all of its subsidiaries. This ERP systemsubsidiaries, includes modules covering areas such as: finance, accounting, inventory management, human resources, business warehouse, as well as a user-friendly portal. We are currently working on optimizing and simplifying this system, and in leveraging it to increase the efficiency of our back-office processes.

Development and Maintenance System

With respect to new development needs, our first choice is to acquire existing packaged software, but we outsource this service when such software is not available in the market. Since early 2007, we have outsourced our IT system development to threefour principal vendors: TATA Consultancy Services, Everis, Accenture and Indra. Thanks

Business Initiatives

The purchase of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, Boeing’s most fuel efficient aircraft and the world’s first e-enabled airplane, has been a significant challenge for our technology processes since the airplane needs more connectivity to this outsourcing initiative,network, optimized hardware and software and constant support.

Integration between LAN and TAM

Following the combination, we have achieved:are undertaking a project to unify the IT applications of LAN and TAM and to develop a plan to integrate LAN and TAM´s business processes and applications. The main focus was:

 

a decrease in project delays;

evaluate LAN and TAM’s applications and processes

 

an increase in systems reliability; and

align IT strategy for LATAM

 

a shift indefine the efforts of the internal IT department tofinal application architecture for LATAM

define an integrated technical architecture and infrastructure as well as a more business oriented perspective.

New initiatives

We are implementing a new host (“Host”). A Host change is one of the most important decisions for the passenger business division in an airline in terms of process and technology. It consists in replacing the PSS, or Passenger Service System, that contains the reservation, inventory and departure control systems of an airline. This decision permits the understanding of the software from an aviation industry provider in ASP mode, adherence to standard processes and best industry practices and the integration of multiple legacy applications that complement the needs of the processes model for business and technical applications maintenance

build the airline business. For LAN,action plan, including the implementation roadmap, its phases, investments and impact on the current projects.

As a result of this roadmap, LATAM will prioritize initiatives in 2014 that are most valuable for integrating IT operations, which include:

ERP: Finance, procurement, budget and planning, human resources and employee internal portal

Aircraft Maintenance system

Commercial area systems: Revenue Accounting, Revenue Management and BI Commercial

Operations management systems: To optimize flight route and crew schedule

Host change implies going from two suppliers (Amadeus and Resiber) currently covering the role of the complete PSS, to a single supplier (Sabre). This project representssystem strategy: To define LATAM’s host system

To implement these prioritized projects, we estimated an investment of approximately US$79.4 million,45.6 million. During 2013 the following innicatives were implemented:

ERP: budget and planning, human resources and employee internal intranet.

Operations management systems: To optimize crew schedule

Commercial area systems: Revenue Management International and BI Commercial I.

In addition, during 2014 the following systems implementations will be finalized:

ERP: Finance, procurement

Aircraft Maintenance system

Commercial area systems: Revenue Accounting

TAM integration to Oneworld

Central IT Operations:

Regarding the IT central infrastructure, LATAM’s technical model was designed to support not only the implementation of LATAM’s system applications but also the implementation of integrated datacenter and telecommunications (data and voice) solutions. The integrated IT model will require future investments of approximately US$13.6 million.

In 2013, we established a unified outsourcing contract with HP to manage LAN & TAM´s Data Center, this services is expectednow provided by HP. We are currently working to consolidate TAM´s 3 Data Centers in only one. In 2014 we will define a new DRP model (Disaster Recovery Plan) for LATAM, which will be implemented in 2015.

Regarding the computer platform, the current type of equipment that TAM holds are being standardized (desktops and Laptops) with those used by our other subsidiaries. In addition the procurement model is changing from renting to purchasing the assets. As a result there is only one customer support model, which will optimize costs and improve services quality. Customer support is currently provided by Accenture and IBM.

In 2013, we selected SITA as the main vendor to provide immediate savings of 75% per passengera consolidated telecommunications network between LAN & TAM, in reservation transaction costsaddition to Telefonica and OI. Implementation is estimated to be in place during June 2012.scheduled for 2014.

The IT department expects to implement a Technology Refreshing Project between 2010 and 2012, to move to the platforms that will host our applications and services for the next five years. During 2010, Lan Airlines will define the Technology Refreshing Project and all the platforms, software, solutions and services that it will use to support its business. These hardware and software solutions will be gradually implemented between 2011 and 2012.

We are also buying new airplanes, namely, Boeing 787 aircraft. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is Boeing’s most fuel-efficient aircraft and is the world’s first e-Enabled commercial airplane.

The Boeing 787 combines the integrated information and communications systems to drive operational efficiency and streamline airplane maintenance. The e-Enabled tools on the 787 will be a significant change from any other commercial airplane previously operated. The extensive e-Enabling on the 787 increases the need for network connectivity, hardware and software improvements, and systems management practices.

Regulation

Below is a brief reference to the material effects of aeronautical and other regulations in force in each of the relevant jurisdictions in which LAN and its subsidiaries operate.

Chile

Aeronautical Regulation

Both the DGAC and the JAC oversee and regulate the Chilean aviation industry. The DGAC reports directly to the Chilean Air Force and is responsible for supervising compliance with Chilean laws and regulations relating to air navigation. The JAC is the Chilean civil aviation authority. Primarily on the basis of Decree Law No. 2,564, which regulates commercial aviation, the JAC establishes the main commercial policies for the aviation industry in Chile, regulates the assignment of international routes, and the compliance with certain insurance requirements, and the DGAC regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authority from the Chilean government to conduct flight operations, including authorization certificates from the JAC and technical operative certificates from the DGAC, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Chile is a contracting state, as well as a permanent member, of the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations established in 1947 to assist in the planning and development of international air transport. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Chilean authorities have incorporated into Chilean laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Chilean regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the DGAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes.Chilean airlines are not required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes, but only to comply with the technical and insurance requirements established respectively by the DGAC and the JAC. There are no regulatory barriers that would prevent a foreign airline from creating a Chilean subsidiary and entering the Chilean domestic market using that subsidiary. On January 18, 2012 the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Economics of Chile announced steps towards unilaterally opening the Chilean domestic skies in the near term.

International Routes.As an airline providing services on international routes, Lan AirlinesLAN is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Chile and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Chile and foreign governments will continue, and a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Chile and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Chile, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency the JAC awards it through a public auction for a period of five years. The JAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, the JAC may terminate its rights to that route. International route frequencies are freely transferable. In the past, we have generally paid only nominal amounts for international route frequencies obtained in uncontested auctions.

Airfare Pricing Policy.Chilean airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic and international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy.regulation. For more information, see “–“—Antitrust Regulation” below. Airlines may file complaints before the Antitrust Court with respect to monopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Chile’s antitrust laws. In 1997, the Antitrust Commission approved and imposed a specific self-regulatory fare plan for our domestic operations in Chile consistent with the Antitrust Commission’s directive to maintain a competitive environment. According to this plan, we must file notice with the JAC of any increase or decrease in standard fares on routes deemed “non-competitive” by the JAC and any decrease in fares on “competitive” routes at least twenty days in advance. We must file notice with the JAC of any increase in fares on “competitive” routes at least ten days in advance. In addition, the Chilean authorities now require that we justify any modification that we make to our fares on non-competitive routes. We must also ensure that our average yields on a non-competitive route are not higher than those on competitive routes of similar distance.

Registration of Aircraft.Aircraft registration in Chile is governed by the Chilean Aeronautical Code (“CAC”). In order to register or continue to be registered in Chile, an aircraft must be wholly owned by either:

 

a natural person who is a Chilean citizen; or

a legal entity incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Chile and a majority of the capital stock of which is owned by Chilean nationals, among other requirements established in article 38 of the CAC.

 

The Aeronautical Code expressly allows the DGAC to permit registration of aircraft belonging to non-Chilean individuals or entities with a permanent place of business in Chile. Aircraft owned by non-Chileans, but operated by Chileans or by an airline which is affiliated with a Chilean aviation entity, may also be registered in Chile. Registration of any aircraft can be cancelled if it is not in compliance with the requirements for registration and, in particular, if:

 

the ownership requirements are not met; or

 

the aircraft does not comply with any applicable safety requirements specified by the DGAC.

Safety.The DGAC requires that all aircraft operated by Chilean airlines be registered either with the DGAC or with an equivalent supervisory body in a country other than Chile. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by either the DGAC or an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory entity. In addition, the DGAC will not issue maintenance permits to a Chilean airline until the DGAC has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. The DGAC renews maintenance permits annually, and has approved our maintenance operations. Only DGAC-certified maintenance facilities or facilities certified by an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory body in the country where the aircraft is registered may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Chilean airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified either by the DGAC or an equivalent non-Chilean supervisory body before assuming any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security.The DGAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Chilean commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Chile must submit an aviation security handbook to the DGAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. Lan AirlinesLAN has submitted its aviation security handbook to the DGAC. Chilean airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy.The DGAC supervises and manages airports in Chile, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. The DGAC proposes airport charges, which are approved by the JAC and are the same at all airports. Since the mid-90s, a number of Chilean airports have been privatized, including the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of the DGAC and JAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise affect us in Chile, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability. There is no noise restriction regulation currently applicable to aircraft in Chile. However, Chilean authorities are planning to pass a noise-related regulation governing aircraft that fly to and within Chile. The proposed regulation will require all such aircraft to comply with certain noise restrictions, referred to in the market as Stage 3 standards. LAN’s fleet already complies with the proposed restrictions so we do not believe that enactment of the proposed standards would impose a material burden on us.

Argentina

Aeronautical Regulation

Both theAdministración Nacional de Aviación Civil (“ANACI”ANAC”) and the Secretary of Transport oversee and regulate the Argentinean aviation industry. ANACI regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management, and reports indirectly to the Ministry of Planning and is responsible for supervising compliance with Argentinean laws and regulations relating to air navigation. The Secretary of Transport also reports to the Ministry of Planning and regulates the assignment of international routes

and matters related to tariff regulation policies. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authorizations from the Argentinean government to conduct flight operations, including authorization certificates and technical operative certificates from ANACI, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Argentina is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations established in 1947 to assist in the planning and development of international air transport. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Argentinean authorities have incorporated into Argentinean laws and regulations. In the absence of applicable Argentinean regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the ANACI has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. In Argentina airlines are required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes, and to comply with the technical requirements established by the local authority. There are no regulatory barriers preventing a foreign airline from creating an Argentine subsidiary and entering the Argentine domestic market using that subsidiary. However, ownership of such subsidiary by the foreign airline may not be direct, but through a subsidiary formed in Argentina, which in turn may be directly or indirectly owned by the foreign company. However, such subsidiary should operate Argentine registered aircraft and employ Argentine aeronautical personnel.

International Routes. As an airline providing services on international routes, LanLAN Argentina is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Argentina and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Argentina and foreign governments will continue. Furthermore, a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Argentina and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Argentina, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. ANACI grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, the ANACI may terminate its rights to that route.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Argentine airlines are permitted to establish their own international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. Yet, there are government-fixed maximum and minimum prices for domestic flights.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Argentina is governed by the Argentinean Aeronautical Code (“AAC”). In order to register or continue to be registered in Argentina, an aircraft must be wholly owned by either:

 

a natural person who is an Argentinean citizen; or

 

a legal entity incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Argentina and a majority of the capital stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by Argentinean nationals, among other requirements established in the AAC.

Safety.ANACI requires that all aircraft operated by Argentinean airlines be registered with ANACI. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by ANACI. In addition, ANACI will not issue maintenance permits to an Argentinean airline until ANACI has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. ANACI renews maintenance permits periodically and approves maintenance operations once the airline initiates its operations and

each time an airline changes its maintenance regime. Only ANACI-certified maintenance facilities (in Argentina or in any other country) may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Argentinean airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified by ANACI before assuming any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security.ANACI establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Argentinean commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Argentina must submit an aviation security handbook to ANACI describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. LanLAN Argentina has submitted its aviation security handbook to ANACI. Argentinean airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy.The ORSNA (Organismo Regulador del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos) supervises and manages the airports in Argentina, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. The ORSNA proposes airport charges, which are approved by ANACI and are the same at all airports. Nevertheless, while domestic flights are charged in local currency, international flights are charged in U.S. dollars. Since the late-90s, a number of Argentinean airports have been privatized, including Aeroparque and Aeropuerto Internacional de Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini in Buenos Aires, the two most important airports in Argentina. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of ANACI and ORSNA.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise affect us in Argentina, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability and noise restriction regulation currently applicable to aircraft in Argentina. Any aircraft operated by an Argentinean airline should comply with certain noise restrictions, specifically with Stage 3 standards, as set forth in chapter 91.805 of the Argentinean civilian aviation regulations (Regulaciones Argentinas de Aviación Civil) referred to in the market as Stage 3 standards. LAN’s fleet already complies with the proposed restrictions so we do not believe that enactment of the proposed standards would impose a material burden on us.

Peru

Aeronautical Regulation

The Peruvian DGAC (“PDGAC”) oversees and regulates the Peruvian aviation industry. The PDGAC reports directly to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and is responsible for supervising compliance with Peruvian laws and regulations relating to air navigation. In addition, the PDGAC regulates the assignment of national and international routes, and the compliance with certain insurance requirements, and it regulates flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control and airport management. We have obtained and maintain the necessary authorizations from the Peruvian government to conduct flight operations, including authorization and technical operative certificates, the continuation of which is subject to the ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

Peru is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Peruvian authorities have incorporated into Peruvian laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Peruvian regulation concerning safety or maintenance, the PDGAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards. We believe that we are in material compliance with all relevant technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes.Peruvian airlines are required to obtain permits in connection with carrying passengers or cargo on any domestic routes and to comply with the technical requirements established by the PDGAC. Non-Peruvian airlines are not permitted to provide domestic air service between destinations in Peru.

International Routes.As an airline providing services on international routes, LanLAN Peru is also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Peru and various other countries. There can be no assurance that existing bilateral agreements between Peru and foreign governments will continue, and a modification, suspension or revocation of one or more bilateral treaties could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Peru and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Peru, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency the PDGAC awards it through a public auction for a period of four years. The PDGAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of 90 days or more, the PDGAC may terminate its rights to that route, although that has never happened in practice.

Airfare Pricing Policy.Peruvian airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic and international fares without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. For more information, see “–“—Antitrust Regulation” below. Airlines or other interested parties may file complaints before the Institute for Protection of Fair Competition and Consumer Rights (“Indecopi”) with respect to monopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Peru’s antitrust laws.

Registration of Aircraft.Aircraft registration in Peru is governed by the Peruvian Civil Aviation Law. In order to own and register a Peruvian aircraft, the following conditions shall apply:

 

In case of a natural person, the owner shall be a Peruvian citizen; or in case of a foreign person, the owner shall be permanently domiciled in Peru; or

 

In case of a legal entity, it shall be incorporated in and having its domicile and principal place of business in Peru among other requirements established in article 47 of the Peruvian Civil Aviation Law.

 

Aircraft owned by non-Peruvians citizens or entities with domicile in Peru may also be registered in Peru but only if the aircraft is used for general, not commercial aviation. Registration of any aircraft can be cancelled if it is not in compliance with the requirements for registration mentioned above and, in particular, if the aircraft does not comply with any applicable safety requirements specified by the PDGAC.

Safety. Peruvian law allows the use of aircraft that are registered either with the PDGAC or with an equivalent supervisory body in a country other than Peru. All aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by either the PDGAC or an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory entity. In addition, the PDGAC will issue maintenance permits to a Peruvian airline as long as the PDGAC has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. The PDGAC has approved our maintenance operations. Only PDGAC-certified maintenance facilities or facilities certified by an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory body in the country where the aircraft is registered may maintain and repair the aircraft operated by Peruvian airlines. Aircraft maintenance personnel at such facilities must also be certified either by the PDGAC or an equivalent non-Peruvian supervisory body before be appointed to any aircraft maintenance positions.

Security.The PDGAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Peruvian commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Peru must submit an aviation security handbook to the PDGAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training. LanLAN Peru has submitted its aviation security handbook to the PDGAC. Peruvian airlines that operate international routes must also adopt security measures in accordance with the requirements of applicable bilateral international agreements.

Airport Policy. CORPAC supervises and manages airports in Peru, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. CORPAC sets airport charges for navigation facilities, which may differ from airport to airport. Since the mid-90s, a number of Peruvian airports have been privatized, including the Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez in Lima. At the privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of theOrganismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Infraestructura de Transporte de Uso Público, (the Supervising Agency of Investment in Public Transport Infrastructure Facilities or “OSITRAN”), an independent regulatory and supervising entity.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.There are no specific material environmental regulations or controls imposed upon airlines, applicable to aircraft, or that otherwise materially affect us in Peru, except for environmental laws and regulations of general applicability. There are noise restriction regulations currently applicable to aircraft in Peru. LAN’s fleet complies with the proposed restrictions so they do not impose a material burden on us.

Ecuador

Aeronautical Regulation

There are two institutions that control commercial aviation on behalf of the State: (i) The National Civil Aviation Board (“CNAC”), which directs aviation policy; and (ii) the General Civil Aviation Bureau (“EDGAC”), which is a technical regulatory and control agency. The CNAC issues operating permits and grants operating concessions to national and international airlines. It also issues opinions on bilateral and multilateral air transportation treaties, allocates routes and traffic rights, and approves joint operating agreements such as wet leases and shared codes.

Fundamentally, the EDGAC is responsible for:

 

ensuring that the national standards and technical regulations and international ICAO standards and regulations are observed;

 

keeping records on insurance, airworthiness and licenses of Ecuadorian civil aircraft;

 

maintaining the National Aircraft Registry;

 

issuing licenses to crews; and

 

controlling air traffic control inside domestic air space.

The EDGAC also must comply with the standards and recommended methods of the ICAO since Ecuador is a signatory of the 1944 Chicago Convention.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes.Airlines must obtain authorization from CNAC (an operating permit or concession) to provide air transportation. For domestic operations, only companies incorporated in Ecuador can operate locally, and only Ecuadorian-licensed aircraft and dry leases are authorized to operate domestically.

International Routes.Permits for international operations are based on air transportation treaties signed by Ecuador or, otherwise, the principle of reciprocity is applied. All airlines doing business in Latin America that are incorporated in countries that are members of theComunidad Andina de Naciones (the Andean Community, or “CAN”) obtain their traffic rights on the basis of decisions currently in force under that regime, in particular decision N°582 of 2004, which guarantee free access to markets, with no type of restriction except technical considerations.

Shared codes are allowed in Ecuador after authorization by the CNAC, but the respective airlines must have the relevant traffic rights.

Airfare Pricing Policy.On October 13, 2011, The Statutory Law of Regulation and Control of the Market Power was passed with a purpose to avoid, prevent, correct, eliminate and sanction the abuse of economic operators with market power, as well as to sanction restrictive, disloyal and agreements involving collusive practices. This Law creates a new public entity as the maximum authority of application and establishes the procedures of investigation and the applicable sanctions, which are severe. Rates are not regulated and are subject only to registration. In general, bilateral treaties regarding air transportation provide for airfares to be regulated by the regulation of the country of origin.

Registration of Aircraft.The legislation allows Ecuadorian companies to provide international air transportation services using aircraft licensed in Ecuador and aircraft with a foreign license, always provided the latter are exploited under dry leases. For domestic operations, aircraft is authorized only pursuant to dry leases and Ecuadorian registration. Aircraft interchange agreements are also allowed for international operations, provided that the aviation authority can confirm that the aircraft is under the operational control of an Ecuadorian operator. Wet leases are permitted, but very restricted.

Safety. In order to ensure aviation safety, the EDGAC requires that the airline hold an Air Operator Certificate and have Operating Specifications that are examined technically and rigorously to ensure compliance with the Civil Aviation Technical Regulations, which are essentially the same as the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”) of the FAA. They cover matters of aircraft airworthiness, certification of maintenance facilities, and oversight by the EDGAC.

Security.The governing rules also apply to security in respect of the EDGAC. There are regulations, manuals and procedures on airport security overseen by the EDGAC.

Airport Policy. The international airports in Quito and Guayaquil are managed under administrative concessions, and the EDGAC merely controls air traffic. Fees for the use of airport facilities, terminal fees, landing fees, parking fees are all overseen and collected by the operator. Over-flight and approach fees are controlled and collected by the EDGAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.Aircraft must comply with the standards of category 3 under Ecuadorian applicable noise regulations, as set forth in Executive Decree (Decreto Ejecutivo) 1,405, enacted on October 24,2008, which provides certain technical specific criteria. Beginning in May 2010, aircraft must comply with standards of category 4 under cited regulation. Category 3 provides for compliance with ICAO regulations and technical conditions mandatory in the United States of America.

United States of America

Aeronautical Regulation

Operations to and from the United States by non-U.S. airlines, such as Lan Airlines,LAN, are subject to Title 49 of the U.S. Code, under which the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) and the FAA exercise regulatory authority. The DOT has jurisdiction over international aviation in connection with the United States, subject to review by the President of the United States. The DOT also has jurisdiction with respect to unfair practices and methods of competition by airlines and related consumer protection matters. The U.S. DOJ also has jurisdiction over airline competition matters under the U.S. federal antitrust laws. Flight operations between Chile and the United States by airlines licensed by either country are governed generally by the open skies air transport agreement that Chile and the United States signed in October 1997. Under the open skies agreement, there are no restrictions on the number of destinations or flights that either a U.S. or a Chilean airline may operate between the two countries or on the number of U.S. and Chilean airlines that may operate.

Authorizations and Licenses

Lan AirlinesLAN is authorized by the DOT to engage in scheduled and charter air transportation services, including the transportation of persons, property (cargo) and mail, or combinations thereof, between points in Chile and points in the United States and beyond (via intermediate points in other countries). Lan AirlinesLAN holds the necessary

authorizations from the DOT in the form of a foreign air carrier permit, Exemption Authorizations and Statements of Authorization to conduct current operations to and from the United States. Exemptions and Statements of Authorization are temporary in nature and are subject to renewal and therefore there can be no assurance that any particular exemption or statement of authorization will be renewed. Lan Airlines’LAN’s foreign air carrier permit has no expiration date, while a renewal of the exemption authorization (which includes the open skies traffic rights) was timely filed and the Authority was automatically extended until such time as the DOT issues the renewal order. Lan AirlinesLAN intends to request the inclusion of the open skies rights into our foreign air carrier permit, which would eliminate our need to renew the exemption authority in the future.

The FAA is engaged in the regulation with respect to safety matters, including aircraft maintenance and operations, equipment, aircraft noise, ground facilities, dispatch, communications, personnel, training, weather observation and other matters affecting air safety. The FAA requires each foreign air carrier to obtain certain operations specifications that authorize it to operate to particular airports on approved international routes using specified equipment. Lan AirlinesLAN currently holds FAA operations specifications under Part 129 of the FAR in compliance in all material respects with all requirements necessary to maintain in good standing of its operations specifications issued by the FAA. The FAA can amend, suspend, revoke or terminate those specifications, or can suspend temporarily or revoke permanently our authority if an airline fails to comply with the regulations, and can assess civil penalties for such failure. A modification, suspension or revocation of any of our DOT authorizations or FAA operations specifications could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The FAA also conducts safety audits and has the power to impose fines and other sanctions for violations of airline safety regulations. We have not incurred any material fines related to operations.

Certain Regulatory Authorizations in Connection with Strategic Alliances

The alliance between Lan Airlines and American Airlines includes three major components: a frequent flyer agreement, a reciprocal code-share agreement and the coordination of pricing, scheduling and other functions. The last two of these items required the approval of regulatory authorities in both Chile and the United States. With respect to the code-share agreement, the open skies agreement between Chile and the United States expressly permits code-sharing operations by U.S. and Chilean airlines. With regard to the coordination of pricing and scheduling, Lan Airlines and American Airlines filed a joint application with the DOT in December 1997, requesting approval of their alliance agreement and immunity from the application of all U.S. antitrust laws pursuant to Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Lan Airlines and American Airlines received approval and antitrust immunity from the DOT in September 1999, and implemented the code-share agreement in October 1999. In accordance with the terms of the DOT’s 1999 approval, Lan Airlines and American Airlines were required to resubmit their alliance agreement to the DOT for review within three years after the DOT’s grant of approval. Lan Airlines and American Airlines resubmitted the agreement in September 2002 and did not receive any comments from the DOT.

Lan Peru was granted antitrust immunity by the DOT on October 13, 2005 with respect to the alliance agreements and other agreements incorporated therein (i.e., the reciprocal code-share agreements, among others) with Lan Airlines and American Airlines. In accordance with the terms of the DOT’s 2005 approval, Lan Airlines, Lan Peru and American Airlines resubmitted their alliance agreement to the DOT for review in October 2010.

Security. On November 19, 2001, the Congress of the United States passed, and the President signed into law, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, also referred to as the Aviation Security Act. This law federalized substantially all aspects of civil aviation security and created the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”), which took over security responsibilities previously held by the FAA. The TSA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Aviation Security Act requires, among other things, the implementation of certain security measures by airlines and airports, such as the requirement that all passenger bags be screened for explosives. Funding for airline and airport security required under the Aviation Security Act is provided in part by a US$2.50 per segment passenger security fee, subject to a US$10 per roundtrip cap; however, airlines are responsible for costs in excess of this fee. Implementation of the requirements of the Aviation Security Act has resulted in increased costs for airlines and their passengers. Since the events of September 11, 2001, Congress has mandated and the TSA has implemented numerous security procedures and requirements that have imposed and will continue to impose burdens on airlines, passengers and shippers.

Noise Restrictions. Under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (“ANCA”), and related FAA regulations, aircraft that fly to the United States must comply with certain Stage 3 noise restrictions, which are currently the most stringent FAA noise requirements. All of our aircraft that fly to the United States meet the Stage 3 requirements.

Under the direction of the ICAO, governments are considering the creation of a new and more stringent noise standard than that contained in the ANCA. The ICAO adopted new noise standards in 2001 that established more stringent noise requirements for aircraft manufactured after January 1, 2006. In the U.S., legislation known as the “Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act,” which was signed into law in December 2003, required the FAA to issue regulations implementing Stage 4 noise standards consistent with recommendations adopted by the ICAO. FAA regulations require all aircraft designed and certified after January 1, 2006 to comply with Stage 4 noise restrictions.

FAA regulations also require compliance with the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System, approved airborne wind shear warning system and aging aircraft regulations. Our entire fleet meets these requirements.

Brazil

Aeronautical Regulation

The Brazilian aviation industry is regulated and overseen by the ANAC. The ANAC reports directly to the Civil Aviation Secretary, which is subordinated by the Federal Executive Power of this country. Primarily on the basis of Law No. 11.182/2005, ANAC was created to regulate commercial aviation, air navigation, the assignment of domestic and international routes, compliance with certain insurance requirements, flight operations, including personnel, aircraft and security standards, air traffic control, in this case sharing it activities and responsibilities with theDepartamento de Controle do Espaço Aéreo (Department of Airspace Control) (“DECEA”),which is a public secretary also subordinated to the Brazilian Defense Ministry, and airport management, in this last case sharing responsibilities with theEmpresa Brasileira de Infra-Estrutura Aeroportuária (the Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Company, or “INFRAERO”), a public company that was created by Law No. 5862/72, and is responsible for administrating, operating and exploring Brazilian airports industrially and commercially.commercially (with the exception of Guarulhos International Airport, Viracopos International Airport and Brasilia International Airport which was privatized in 2012 and are administrated by concession agreement).

We have obtained and maintain the necessary authority from the Brazilian government to conduct flight operations, including authorization and technical operative certificates from ANAC, the continuation of which is subject to ongoing compliance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

ANAC is the Brazilian civil aviation authority and it is responsible for supervising compliance with Brazilian laws and regulations relating to air navigation. Brazil is a contracting state and a permanent member of the ICAO. The ICAO establishes technical standards for the international aviation industry, which Brazilian authorities, represented by the Brazilian Defense Ministry, have incorporated into Brazilian laws and regulations. In the absence of an applicable Brazilian regulation concerning safety or maintenance, ANAC has incorporated by reference the majority of the ICAO’s technical standards.

Route Rights

Domestic Routes. Brazilian airlines are not required to obtain permits in connection with domestic passenger or cargo transportation, but only to comply with the technical requirements established by ANAC. Based on the Brazilian Aeronautical Code (“CBA”) established by Law No. 7.565/86, non-Brazilian airlines are not permitted to provide domestic air service between destinations in Brazil. The same law prevents a foreign airline from creating a Brazilian subsidiary and entering the Brazilian domestic market using that subsidiary.

International Routes. Brazilian and non-Brazilian airlines providing services on international routes are also subject to a variety of bilateral civil air transport agreements that provide for the exchange of air traffic rights between Brazil and various other countries. International route rights, as well as the corresponding landing rights, are derived from a variety of air transport agreements negotiated between Brazil and foreign governments. Under such agreements, the government of one country grants the government of another country the right to designate one

or more of its domestic airlines to operate scheduled services to certain destinations of the former and, in certain cases, to further connect to third-country destinations. In Brazil, when additional route frequencies to and from foreign cities become available, any eligible airline may apply to obtain them. If there is more than one applicant for a route frequency ANAC must carry out a public bid and award it to the elected airline. ANAC grants route frequencies subject to the condition that the recipient airline operate them on a permanent basis. If an airline fails to operate a route for a period of six months or more, ANAC may terminate its rights to that route. ANAC may also terminate its right if the recipient airline does not operate at least 80% of the frequency given for that specific route.

Airfare Pricing Policy. Brazilian and non-Brazilian airlines are permitted to establish their own international and domestic fares, in this last case only for Brazilian airlines, without government regulation, as long as they do not abuse any dominant market position they may enjoy. Airlines may file complaints before the Antitrust Court with respect to monopolistic or other pricing practices by other airlines that violate Brazil’s antitrust laws.

Registration of Aircraft. Aircraft registration in Brazil is managed by ANAC, which maintains the Brazilian Aeronautical Register, as regulated by the CBA. The CBA allows ANAC to permit registration of aircraft belonging to Brazilian and non-Brazilian individuals.

Safety. ANAC requires that all Brazilian aircraft must have a valid certificate of airworthiness issued by ANAC. In addition, ANAC will not issue maintenance permits to a Brazilian airline until it has assessed the airline’s maintenance capabilities. ANAC renews maintenance permits annually, and has approved our maintenance operations. Only ANAC certifies aircraft maintenance services and its personnel.

Security. ANAC establishes and supervises the implementation of security standards and regulations for the Brazilian commercial aviation industry. Such standards and regulations are based on standards developed by international commercial aviation organizations. Each airline and airport in Brazil must submit an aviation security handbook to ANAC describing its security procedures for the day-to-day operations of commercial aviation and procedures for staff security training.

Brazilian Airport Policy. INFRAERO supervises and manages airports in Brazil, including the supervision of take-off and landing charges. INFRAERO proposes airport charges, which are approved by ANAC and are the same at all airports. At privatized airports, the airport administration manages the facilities under the supervision of ANAC.

Environmental and Noise Regulation. ANAC coordinates and supervises noise regulations by regulation 121, which established noise restriction applicable to aircraft in Brazil. There are no material environmental regulations or controls imposed specifically upon airlines companies, applicable to aircraft, other than Brazilian general environmental laws and regulations.

Colombia

Aeronautical Regulation

The governmental entity in charge of regulating, directing and supervising the civil aviation is the Aeronáutica Civil (“AC”), a technical agency ascribed to the Ministry of Transportation. The AC is the aeronautical authority for the entire domestic territory, in charge of regulating and supervising the Colombian air space. The AC may interpret, apply and complement all civil aviation and air transportation regulation to ensure compliance with the Colombian Aeronautical Regulations (“RAC”). The AC also grants the necessary permits for air transportation.

Route Rights

The AC grants operation permits to domestic and foreign carriercarriers that intend to operate in, from and to Colombia. In the case of Colombian airlines in order to obtain the operational permit the company must comply with the RAC and fulfill legal, economic and technical requirements, to later be subject to public hearings where the public convenience and necessity of the service is considered. The same process must be followed to add national or international routes, whose concession is subject to the bilateral instruments entered into by Colombia. Routes cannot be transferred under any circumstance and there is no limit to foreign investment in domestic airlines.

Airfare Pricing Policy.Since July 2007, as stated in resolution 3299 of the Aeronautical Civil entity, bottom level airfares for both international and domestic transportation were eliminated. Under resolution 904 issued in February 2012, the Aeronautical Civil entity decided to liberalize the obligation of charging a fuel surcharge for both domestic and international transportation of passengers and cargo. As of April 1, 2012, air carriers may now freely decide whether or not to charge a fuel surcharge. In the case that it is charged, the fuel surcharge must be part of the fare, but may be informed separately on the tickets, advertising or other methods of marketing used by the company.

In the same line, beginning onas of April 1, 2012 there willis no longer be any restriction on top level fares published by the airlines or with respect to the obligations for air carriers to report to the Aeronautical civil entity the fares and conditions the day after being published.

Administrative fares are not subject to any changes and its charge is an obligation for the transport of passengers under Aeronautical Civil Regulations.

Registration of Aircraft.The AC, through the Office of Aeronautical Registration, is in charge of handling the registration of aircraft that will be operated by Colombian airlines. Registration may be obtained by a registration process fully conducted in Colombia or through the validation in Colombia of a foreign registration. For such registration, the aircraft must be legally imported to the country and inspected by the aeronautical inspectors. This office is also in charge of property registrations, lease contracts and liens of the registered aircraft.

Safety. Aircraft registered in Colombia obtain an airworthiness certificate or a validation of the airworthiness certificate (if they operate under the approval of the foreign registration).

Security.Following the guidelines of the OACI annexes, the AC issued an airport security program that must be strictly complied with by all the aircraft operators in the country as well as by airports.

Environmental and Noise Regulation.In Colombia, only aircraft that comply with category 3 noise limits may operate. There are strict regulations to control noise during takeoffs and landings of the aircraft at the El Dorado Airport in Bogotá due to its location in an urban area.

Antitrust Regulation

The Chilean antitrust authority, which we refer to as the Antitrust Court (previously the Antitrust Commission), oversees antitrust matters, which are governed by Decree Law No. 211 of 1973, as amended, or the Antitrust Law. The Antitrust Law prohibits any entity from preventing, restricting or distorting competition in any market or any part of any market. The Antitrust Law also prohibits any business or businesses that have a dominant position in any market or a substantial part of any market from abusing that dominant position. An aggrieved person may sue for damages arising from a breach of Antitrust Law and/or file a complaint with the Antitrust Court requesting an order to enjoin the violation of the Antitrust Law. The Antitrust Court has the authority to impose a variety of sanctions for violations of the Antitrust Law, including termination of contracts contrary to the Antitrust Law, dissolution of a company and imposition of fines and daily penalties on businesses. Courts may award damages and other remedies (such as an injunction) in appropriate circumstances. Lan Airlines, Lan Express and Lan Cargo must comply with Chilean Antitrust Law that prohibits a carrier from abusing a dominant position in the market. As described above under “Route“—Chile—Route Rights—Air FareAirfare Pricing Policy,” in October 1997, the Antitrust Court approved a specific self-regulatory fare plan for us consistent with the Antitrust Court’s directive to maintain a competitive environment within the domestic market.

Since October 1997, LanLAN Airlines S.A. and LanLAN Express follow a self-regulatory plan, which was modified and approved by the Tribunal de la Libre Competencia (the Competition Court) in July 2005.2005, and further in September, 2011. In February 2010, the Fiscalía Nacional Economica (the National Economic Prosecutor’s Office) finalized the investigation initiated in 2007 regarding our compliance with this self-regulatory plan and no further observations were made.

Overview

The principal and most distinctive aspect of our business model is the way in which we integrate our passenger and cargo activities. Our sophisticated service-oriented approach to combining passenger and cargo traffic enables us to better utilize our aircraft, reduce our break-even load factors on passenger flights, and diversify our revenue streams. Furthermore, the geographically diversified nature of theour passenger and cargo networks of LAN and its subsidiaries provideprovides additional diversification in our operations and reducereduces exposure to any single market. These benefits have helped us maintain strong profitability and expand our operations, consistently in recent years, despite volatile macroeconomic conditions and various external shocks that have affected the airline industry over the years.

Approximately 98%In 2013, 97% of our revenues are generated by our air transport activities. We generate the balance of our operating revenues from tour operator services, aircraft leases, on-board sales, third-party maintenance, ground handling and customs and storage brokerage operations and the divested courier unit which was sold in April 2011.operations.

Our operating environment in 20112013 was marked by a moderate growth in passenger operations, and reduced cargo demand. For the year ended December 31, 2013 LATAM Airlines reported a net loss of US$263.8 million, largely resulting from a US$481 million foreign exchange loss arising from the 6.5% depreciation of the Brazilian real in December 31, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012. Operating revenues decreased by 0.2% in 2013 from pro forma revenues of US$ 12,956.7 million in 2012 to US$12,924.5 million, as a result of an increase of 0.4% in passenger revenues and a decrease of 4.0% in cargo revenues.

During 2013, passenger demand responded to different trends in our business units, resulting from the diverse strategies implemented in each of them. The Company’s slight decrease in passenger capacity of 0.4% as compared to pro forma capacity for year 2012 was mainly a result of an 8.4% decrease in capacity in the domestic Brazil market and the rationalization of our international passenger operations where capacity only grew by 2.3%. These effects were partially offset by continued growth of 11.0% in both cargo andcapacity in our domestic Spanish speaking countries. In our domestic passenger operations in Brazil, the reduction in capacity, together with market segmentation and revenue management practices, resulted in a load factor of 79.7% in the year, which represents an increase of 6.1 percentage points as compared with 2010, coupled with fuel price increasesto pro forma figures for 2012. Revenues per ASK in this market increased by 4.1% in US dollar terms as a result of these initiatives. In our international passenger operations, capacity rationalization during the year resulted in an increase of only 2.3% in capacity as compared to pro forma capacity for 2012, which led to an increase of 2.4% in traffic and a slight increase in load factors and revenues per ASK.

For the year ended December 31, 2013 the combined yield for the international and domestic passenger businesses decreased by 2.0% as compared to the pro forma yield in 2012, reflecting a more challenging environment due to higher competition in the international routes and the impact of the 10.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real for 2013 as compared to 2012, which impacted yields from the domestic Brazilian market. Depreciation of the local currencies in our operating costs andSpanish speaking countries also impacted yields in these operations.

In the cargo business, we continue to face a challenging scenario due to a lesser extent influencedslowdown in world trade momentum, a decline in demand on routes to Latin America (especially to Brazil) and competitive pressures from new cargo carriers flying in the increaseregion, which has been partially offset by strong northbound routes. In the year ended December 31, 2013 cargo capacity a measured in yields.ATKs slightly increased by 0.1%, with a significant decrease in capacity during the last quarter of the year, whereas cargo traffic slightly decreased by 0.5%, resulting in a decrease of 0.3 percentage points in cargo load factors to 58.4%. The Company demonstrated its abilitycontinues with a rational and disciplined approach toward freighter capacity utilization, in line with a still challenging and competitive scenario in Latin American cargo markets, while focused on maximizing the belly utilization of the Company’s passenger fleet. During the month of November 2013, we grounded for redelivery one B767F aircraft, thus reducing our cargo capacity in the quarter significantly and increasing load factors as of the end of the year.

Our operating expenses in 2013 were primarily impacted by a decrease in fuel prices, the depreciation of local currencies, especially the Brazilian real, and certain non-recurring costs related to our fleet plan restructuring. The Company continues to manage higher fuel prices through its fuel surcharge policy and financial hedging strategy, in addition toas well as tactical capacity adjustments on certain routes. Additionally our operations were impacted by

In June 2012, LATAM Airlines Group was formed through the volcanic ash cloud resulting from the eruptionbusiness combination of the Puyehue volcano in the south of Chile that took place fromLAN and TAM. During the second quarter 2011half of 2012, LATAM began the integration of LAN and appearedTAM’s business units and the transformation necessary to achieve the expected merger synergies, implementing adjustments to commercial practices and aligning operations and processes in a discontinuous manner throughout the remaining part of the year. Costs were also impacted by the consolidation of LAN’s Colombian operations starting in January 2011, and one-time costs related to the startup and turnaround of Aires’ operations, which generated an operating loss of US$51.7 million in 2011.

During 2011, growth in passenger demand was driven by growth in both domestic and international markets in the region. Latin America continues to show strong traffic growth onits international and domestic routes, supported by robust economic conditionspassenger operations in LAN’s home markets. Similarly during this period, cargo demandBrazil. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, LATAM incurred one-time costs of

US$56.0 million and 59.2 million (pro forma), respectively. Although in the region showed solid growthshort term the Company’s results are expected to be impacted by these transition and integration costs, the Company expects to achieve increased operating income in the long-term as a result of continued trade activity mainly supported by markets such as Brazil, in which currency appreciation has a positive impact on trade imports. While competition on both passenger and cargo routes has grown gradually since 2006, during this period the growth of import flows to Latin America continued. Weaker cargo markets globally have driven additional competition to South America, especially Brazil, and have also resulted in higher competitive activity within the region. On the other hand, export volumes in Chile have recovered, partly driven by the gradual resurgence of salmon exports. Changes in competitive conditions in specific markets still generate opportunities for us to expand. Certain factors outside of our control, such as fuel prices that have risen consistently since 2002, and reached historically record-high levels in mid-2008, have also generated significant cost pressures. During 2011, fuel prices again increased as compared to 2010.substantial synergies between these two businesses.

Our results for the period between 2010 and 2011 reflect our efforts in recent years to expand and diversify our revenue base while maintaining an efficient cost base. We have aimed to effectively respond to the opportunities and challenges presented by the expansion and diversification of our revenue base. This process included continuing the

expansion of our domestic passenger operations in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador and starting passenger operations in Colombia through the purchase of Aires in November 2010. As a result, we have significantly increased our passenger capacity and redeployed our assets in response to specific opportunities. In the cargo business, we have adjusted our routes and our capacity mix to adapt to changing cargo flows and we have expanded cargo operations within the region and on long haul routes to take advantage of existing opportunities. We have also launched initiatives to enhance customer preference and increase efficiency. These initiatives have enabled us to maintain a solid market position and to develop new mechanisms to sustain high levels of profitability despite facing unprecedented high fuel prices during 2008, the negative effects of the global economic crisis during 2009, and natural disasters such as the earthquake and volcano eruption in Chile during 2010 and 2011, respectively. As a result, net income amounted to US$336.5 million in 2008, US$231.1 million in 2009, US$419.7 million in 2010 and US$320.2 million in 2011.

Our operating results during 2011 evidenced our ability to leverage continued growth opportunities in both cargo and passenger markets, enhancing our leadership position in Latin America and reflecting our ability to face and mitigate impacts of adverse scenarios such as fuel price volatility and natural disasters. Based on our diversified, solid and flexible business model, as well as our consistent track record and solid balance sheet, we are continuously improving the Company’s long-term strategic position by addressing opportunities, strengthening our market presence and increasing competitiveness.

Passenger Operations

In general, our passenger revenues are driven by international and country-specific political and economic conditions, competitive activity, the attractiveness of the destinations that we serve, and the capacity we allocate among our different routes. Passenger revenues are also affected by our capacity, traffic, load factors, yield and unit revenue. Our capacity is measured in terms of available seat kilometers, or ASKs, which represents the number of seats we make available for sale, multiplied by the kilometers flown. We measure traffic in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs, as the number of passengers on our flights multiplied by the number of kilometers flown. Load factors represent RPKs (traffic) as a percentage of ASKs (capacity), or the percentage of our capacity that is actually used by paying customers. Finally, we use yield, or revenue from passenger operations divided by RPKs, to measure the average amount that one passenger pays to fly one kilometer and unit revenue, or revenue per ASK, to measure the effect of capacity on revenues. See “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data.” The following discussion of revenue drivers in our passenger operations is based on our unaudited pro forma operating results for 2012 where specified.

Passenger demand has grown inover the lastpast years, driven by positive economic conditions in Latin America. Economic growth and improved customer confidence have led to an expansion in both business and leisure traffic to and from Latin America. Increased interest in travel into South America from Europe and the United States has been another factor positively impacting overall passenger traffic. As a consequence, passenger volumes in markets such as Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador grew significantly between 2010 and 2011. LAN’s traffic growth during 2011, which reached 15.9%, was also based on a capacity expansion plan driven by the net delivery of eighteen new passenger aircraft during the year plus the incorporation of Colombian operations through the Aires acquisition, which contributed approximately 4.5% to our total capacity measured by ASKs.2013.

Competitive activity on both our domestic and international passenger routes has also varied over the last several years. On our international routes, competition has gradually increased as both incumbent and new competitors expanded their operations. Nevertheless, we have maintained our market share in most of our international markets since 2005 and have gradually increased our presence in the domestic markets of Chile and Argentina, as well as in international routes. We also initiatedhave increased our domestic operations, initiating operations in Ecuador in April 2009, in Colombia in 2010 and in Colombia, throughBrazil in 2012 following the acquisition of Aires in November 2010. In December 2011 Aires was rebranded asbusiness combination between LAN Colombia.and TAM.

During 2011 the combined yield for the international and domestic passenger businesses increased 11.2%, reflecting the strong demand and increase in fuel surcharges, in line with the increase of WTI prices and the crack spread. The growth rates in traffic and capacity in 2011 included inorganic growth resulting from the inclusion of LAN Colombia’s domestic and international operations, partially offset by the volcanic ash cloud that disrupted air traffic throughout the region.

During 2010 the combined yield for the international and domestic passenger businesses experienced a 6.8% increase, reflecting the recovery and growth in demand experienced in 2010 against 2009 when yields experienced a 16.2% decrease compared with 2008, as a result of the economic crisis that affected passenger demand for air flights in 2009 and a high comparison base in 2008 as fuel surcharges incorporated in the yields drove the increase in fuel prices during that year.

Overall, despite adverse and uncontrollable factors such as fuel prices increase and natural disasters, market conditions on the passenger business provided us with opportunities to advance onWe address different challenges while advancing our strategic development plans and expand our operations. We addressed these by taking advantage of our integrated business model, efficient operations, continued customer focus, and flexible capacity management. Customer focus has provided a key tool to address competitive challenges as well as to successfully enter new markets.

We also took advantage of our flexibility to adapt capacity quickly in response to demand shocks or market opportunities. We actively manage our capacity by transferring capacity between routes or adding new aircraft when necessary. This enabled us to rapidly respond by adding capacity in the Peruvian domestic market during 2004 and supporting the launch of LAN Argentina’s domestic operations in 2005, as well as launching the latter’s international operations in October 2006, launching domestic operations in Ecuador in April 2009 and launching Colombian domestic operations in November 2010.

These opportunistic actions fit in with our long-term development strategy, which is aimed at consolidating LAN as the preferred carrier in South America. This plan incorporates development of domestic, regional and intercontinental routes in the markets we serve. Continuous monitoring of demand trends and competitive activity has allowed us to identify opportunities and, as a consequence, additional capacity has also been allocated to operations to the South Pacific, Europe and the United States, as well as to specific regional routes.certain operations. We have also shifteddecreased capacity among ourother routes, especially in long haul routes to Europe because of weaker economic conditions, and domestic routes in orderBrazil, in response to better match seasonal patternssoftened demand in flights to the United States and to other destinations.our Brazilian domestic operations. Further refinements to our itineraries were alsohave been implemented in order to improve connectivity between our operations and those of our partners.

During 2011 we experienced a significant operating impact dueWe continue to the presence of volcanic ash resulting from the eruption of the Puyehue volcano in southern Chile during the month of June. The displacement of ashes periodically affected operations in Argentina, southern Chile and our South Pacific route to Australia and New Zealand. Although the volcanic activity has been reduced, it is highly unpredictable. Our focus during this emergency was to maintain the safety of our operations, resulting in tactical cancellations on the affected routes based on available information. In addition, our commercial policies have focused on providing maximum flexibility for rescheduling flights, in order to avoid an impact on demand. Overall, we estimate a negative impact of US$36.6 million dollars as a result of decreased revenue, passenger compensations and higher fuel costs due to itinerary changes.

LAN’s flexibility and broad passenger network also allowed us to manage the negative impact of the catastrophic earthquake that struck Chile in February 2010, causing significant damage to the terminal building at the Santiago International Airport and affecting all air travel in and out of the country. With no alternative airport in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, commercial passenger operations were suspended for three days, and were re-launched on March 2, 2010 with provisional facilities. LAN operated with reduced capacity out of Santiago until the terminal building was fully operational on March 28, 2010. LAN estimates the net impact of decreased passenger operations due to the earthquake were approximately US$30 million in 2010. Cargo operations were not materially affected by the earthquake, nor were the passenger operations of LAN or its subsidiaries in Peru, Ecuador and Argentina.

We have also enhancedenhance our regional network by selectively adding new destinations and launching new routes. Since 2004, we have been developing an intra-regional hub in Lima. We have launched several routesLima that enableenables us to effectively use Lima as a connecting point for passengers traveling between Mexico City, Bogotá, Caracas, Guayaquil, Quito, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Santa Cruz, Sao Paulo and Santiago de Chile. In 2007, we began direct service between Lima and Madrid; in 2008, we began service to Medellín, Colombia (with one stop in Quito);Madrid and in 2009, we began service from Lima to Cali via Quito and from Lima to Punta Cana, Cancun and Cordoba. Regarding long-haul operations, in July 2010, LAN Peruwe launched four weekly frequencies between Lima and San Francisco, with connections from Sao Paulo, Santiago and Buenos Aires. During 2012 and 2013, because of the first halfweak economic situation in Europe, LATAM reduced capacity to that region and increased frequencies to the United States, including a new LAN Colombia route, Bogotá-Miami, and a new TAM route, Rio de Janeiro-Orlando, in order to promote Florida as a getaway from Latin America to the United States.

LATAM’s more moderate traffic growth of 20102.5% during 2013 responded to a slight decrease of 0.4% in passenger capacity during the Company implemented various new passenger destinations. We plan to continue growing our operationyear, resulting from capacity rationalization initiatives both in Limathe Brazilian domestic market, where capacity decreased by increasing8.4% in the number of flight frequencies we operate on these routes as we did during 2011 with Miami and Bogota and also by adding new destinations.

On May 10, 2010, LAN Argentina launched three daily flights between Santiago and Aeroparque airport in Buenos Airesyear and in June 2010 it launched services between Aeroparqueour long haul operations, where capacity decreases were focused on routes from Brazil to Europe.

During 2013, the combined yield for the international and Sao Paulo, among others. In December 2011, LAN Argentina’s permits for regional flights from Aeroparque were cancelleddomestic passenger businesses decreased by 2.0% as compared to the Argentinean Aeronautical Authority, whilepro forma yield in 2012, reflecting the affected flight Buenos Aires – Santiago was reassigned to Ezeiza Airport. In both the Chilean and Peruvian domestic markets, total domestic traffic increased during 2011, driven mainly by the positive macroeconomic scenarios in both markets and by attractive fare structures in line with the model for short-haul operations that we implemented in 2007.

Between 2005 and 2011, LAN Argentina increased the number of Argentine domestic destinations from six to fifteen and, based on internal estimates, our market share was approximately 30% as of December 2011.

By the end of 2008, Ecuador’s aeronautical authority, CNAC, granted LAN Ecuador permission to operate domestic flights within the country. These operations started in April 2009 with flights between the cities of Quito and Guayaquil. As of December 2011, LAN Ecuador was operating sixty-three flights a week between Guayaquil and Quito, onedepreciation of the most heavily traveled routesBrazilian real and local currencies in Latin America, as well as fourteen flightsour Spanish speaking countries and a week from Quito to Cuenca and seven flights a week from Guayaquil to Cuenca. In September 2010, LAN Ecuador launched regular service to the Galapagos Islands, offering a daily flight from both Quito and Guayaquil. Finally, in November 2011, LAN Ecuador incorporated two additional weekly flights to the airport of San Cristobalmore challenging competitive environment in the Galapagos Islands. LAN Ecuador had 25.6% market shareregion.

Passenger revenues increased by 0.4% to US$11,061.6 million in the domestic marketyear ended December 31, 2013 as compared to pro forma revenues of EcuadorUS$11,017.0 million for 2012. This was a result of the increase of 2.5% in passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs), partially offset by a 2.0% decrease in yields, as of December 2011.described above.

Cargo Operations

Our cargo operations depend on exports from and imports to South America and are, therefore, affected by economic conditions, foreign exchange rates, changes in international trade, the health of particular industries, competition and fuel prices (which we usually pass on to our customers through a cargo fuel surcharge). Cargo revenues are also affected by our capacity, traffic, load factors and yield. Our capacity is measured in terms of available ton kilometers, or ATKs, which represents the number of tons available for the transportation of cargo, multiplied by the kilometers flown. We measure traffic in revenue ton kilometers, or RTKs, as the amount of cargo loads (measured in tons) multiplied by the number of kilometers flown. Load factors represent RTKs (traffic) as a percentage of ATKs (capacity), or the percentage of our cargo capacity that is actually used to transport cargo for our customers. Finally, we use yield, or revenue from cargo operations divided by RTKs, to measure the average amount that our customers pay to transport one ton of cargo one kilometer. See “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data.” The following discussion of revenue drivers in our cargo operations including changes in capacity, traffic, load factors and yields, is based on our unaudited pro forma operating results for 2012 and 2011 where specified.

We operate in many of the major import and export markets in South America. In particular, in 2012, the agreements implemented relative to the TAM’s cargo network in Brazil significantly expanded our cargo capacity and route coverage. At the end of 2012, this additional cargo capacity represented approximately 32% of all LATAM Cargo capacity. In addition to providing additional cargo routes within Brazil, the combination of LAN and TAM also provided additional international destinations, including Milan, Paris and London.

The relative size of inbound and outbound flows to a particular market or route is a key element in cargo operations, as the unidirectional nature of freight flows requires airlines to create routes that combine origin-destination pairs that feature complementary freight flows. Changes in macroeconomic conditions may lead to major fluctuations in cargo flows to and from Latin America, therefore requiring continuous route and capacity adjustments.

We have designed our operations, route network and commercial strategies with the flexibility required to respond to changing conditions. The flexibility that thisour integrated business model allows based on adaptation to changes in market trends was key for LAN’sLATAM’s operations in 2009, when the business was affected by the contraction of import and export markets in response to the global economic crisis. In addition, LAN Cargo saw a sharp dropcrisis and continued contraction in salmon exports from Chile as a result of an outbreak of the ISA virus. During 2009 LANInfectious Salmon Anemia virus during 2007. LATAM received two Boeing 777 freighters in 2009, at a time where there was a decrease in demand in cargo operations. These aircraft were utilized to increase capacity, mainly on routes between South America and Europe. Not only did the incorporation of theseEurope and to expand LATAM’s cargo planes increase capacity, but they also helped the company expand its coverage beyond the region and strengthen its cargo services to Europe; LAN currently operates routes between Frankfurt and Brazil, Argentina and Chile, Ecuador and Colombia and Amsterdam and Frankfurt.

During 2009 the Company achieved an important step in regional expansion. Colombia is Latin America’s largest market for exports by air transport to the United States, exporting an estimated 167,000 tons annually. In March 2009, LAN Cargo launched LANCO, after successfully obtaining the necessary operational and technical certification. It launched its services with two latest-generation Boeing 767-300Fs, with a capacity for 54 tons of freight, connecting the cities of Bogotá and Medellin with Miami.

In addition, in March 2009, the Company’s cargo subsidiary in Brazil, ABSA, began operations in the country’s domestic market, with one flight daily - from Monday to Friday - between the cities of Sao Paulo and Manaus. On this route, ABSA operates an advanced-technology Boeing 767-300F with a capacity of 54 tons. This route accounts for a large part of Brazil’s airfreight traffic. Manaus is the country’s fourth largest city in terms of GDP, with a large number of companies, principally in the electronics sector, in its industrial pole. The special tax incentives offered by the Amazon capital of Manaus as part of efforts to promote the area’s development, make it an attractive alternative for exporter and importer clients. During 2010, the Company opened a route between Sao Paulo and Fortaleza and Sao Paulo and Recife. During 2011 the Company added a route between Sao Paulo, Belem and Manaus.

Regarding the cargo fleet, during 2012, the Company expects delivery of 2 Boeing 777F freighter aircraft during the second half of the year.

Europe. As the economy started to recover at the end of 2009, and continuing through 2010 and 2011, LANLATAM was able to take advantage of the new capacity and growth opportunities in various markets; as a result,markets in 2010 and 2011. Accordingly, the cargo business played an important role in driving LAN’sLATAM’s revenue growth in 2010 and 2011. Since 2012, however, a slowdown in world macroeconomic conditions has significantly impacted cargo volumes, specifically in Europe and Asia. This slowdown has also affected South America, mainly in the southbound routes where LATAM Cargo carries imports of value added goods into Brazil. This weak macroeconomic environment also brought new competition to the region during 2012 and 2013, with airlines carriers such as Emirates and Cargo Lux, increasing the available capacity in the region and adding pressure to cargo yields. This weak cargo trend has continued during 2013.

CargoAs a result of these factors, cargo traffic increased 11.5% between 2010 and 2011, from 3,239 milliondecreased by 0.5% in cargo revenue ton kilometers in 2010 to 3,612 million cargo revenue ton kilometers in 2011. This improvement was positive2013 as compared to pro forma traffic for 2012. Cargo yields decreased by 3.5% compared to 2012, reflecting the 0.8% decrease experienced bydecline in demand on routes to Latin America, especially Brazil; increased competitive pressures from regional and international cargo carriers; and the international aireffect of the depreciation of the Brazilian real on cargo industry, while the Latin-American cargo segment experienced a 1.5% growth. The Companyrevenues in that market. LATAM increased its capacity by approximately 12.4%0.1%, resulting in a 0.50.3 point decrease in its cargo load factor to 69.6%. The increase58.4% in capacity was mainly driven by LAN’s incorporation of two new Boeing 767-300F freighters in December 2010 and January 2011. These aircraft were assigned to boost growth in the Latin American, United States West Coast and Mexican markets, as well as by higher utilization of the freighter fleet. LAN Cargo2013.

The growthrevenues in revenues also reflects the 10.4% increase in cargo yields that year.2013.

Cost Structure

LAN’sLATAM Airlines Group’s costs are generally driven by the size of our operations, fuel prices, fleet costs and exchange rates. Our operating expenses are calculated in accordance with IFRS and comprise the sum of the line items “cost of sales” plus “distribution costs” plus “administrative expenses” plus “other operating expenses”, as shown on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income. These operating expenses include wages and benefits, fuel, depreciation and amortization, commissions to agents, aircraft rentals, other rental and landing fees, passenger services, aircraft maintenance, and other operating expenses. The following discussion of cost drivers is based on our unaudited pro forma operating results where specified.

As an airline, we are subject to fluctuations in costs that are outside our control, particularly fuel prices and exchange rates. However, we manage part of our exposure to changes in fuel prices through a fuel-hedging policy and the use of pass-through mechanisms on both the passenger and cargo businesses. ForTo mitigate the impact in terms of exchange rate fluctuations on our net income, during 2013 we entered into a financial derivative contract to hedge more information see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Riskthan 50% of Fluctuationsour operating exposure to the Brazilian real in Jet Fuel Prices”. 2014.

Personnel expenses are another significant component of our overall costs. Because a significant portion of our labor costs is denominated in Chilean pesos and in Brazilian reais, appreciation of the pesothese currencies against the dollar as well as increases in local inflation rates can result in increased costs in dollar terms and can negatively affect our results. Depreciation of local currencies results in decreases in costs in dollars. However, this cost pressure is mitigated by the partial natural hedge between the currencies of denomination of our total operating revenues and expenses.

CommissionCommissions paid to travel and cargo agents also composecomprise a significant cost to us. We compete with other airlines over the amount of commission we pay per sale, particularly in connection with special programs and marketing efforts, and to maintain competitive incentives with travel agents. In February 2007 we reduced commission paid to agents in Chile, for economy class ticket sales from 6% to 1%. Between 2007 and 2008, commissions were also reduced to 1% in Ecuador, Argentina, Peru and Peru.Colombia we pay 1% commission to travel agencies and agents. In Brazil, the industry standard is not to provide any commissions directly to travel agencies and agents.

Fleet related expenses, namely aircraft rentals and depreciation are another significant cost. These costs are mainly fixed and can be reduced on a per unit basis by achieving higher daily aircraft utilization rates. Following the combination of LAN and TAM, the percentage of our fleet under operating leases increased from 34.8% in 2011 to 37.6% in 2012, and was 37.8% as of December 31, 2013.

During 2011, LAN’s operating costs increased in 35.4%, mainly impacted by an increase of 28.8% in fuel prices which led to US$588.1 million in increased fuel expenses and contributed to a 18.0% increase inTo manage our cost per ATK (a key industry metric). Excluding fuel costs, the increase in cost per ATK over this period was 10.6%. In addition, the Company recognized a US$39.9 million fuel hedge gain compared to a US$1.0 million fuel hedge gain in 2010.

Apart from higher expenditure on fuel, the Company paid higher wages and salaries due to a higher average headcount that is in-line with the Company’s operational expansion, and the impact of the appreciation of Latin American currencies in 2011.

Westructure, we have launched various efficiency-related initiatives aimed at reducing fuel consumption and increasingly incorporating efficient aircraft into the fleet.

Higher aircraft utilization has been an important source of improved efficiency. Our long-haul passenger and cargo aircraft are used, on average, over 13.0 hours per day (Boeing 767-300 12.8 hrs per day and Airbus A340 14.2 hours per day). Our utilization strategy in 20112012 was mostly designed in concertcoupled with the addition of new passenger routes to

our network, which enabled us to leverage our human and physical assets for increased efficiency as well as increasing frequencies. In our domestic operations we have also worked consistently to improve our cost structure. This process has included initiatives such as the modification of short-haul service standards, which were implemented in late 2005 and modified further in 2007 as a result of the new business model on domestic routes, enabling us to reduce passenger service expenses. The key elements of this newour domestic business model have been a reduction infocused on improving short-haul service standards, reducing sales and distribution costs through higher Internet penetration and reduced agency commission, a fasterimproving turnaround time, and increasedincreasing self check-in service through web check-in and kiosks at airports.

In addition, during 2009 we implementedbegan to implement LEAN, a system for improving our processes by eliminating activities that do not add value to processes (thus increasing the value of each activity and suppressing those that are superfluous), thereby allowing us to reduce costs, and increase customer satisfaction. In addition, during 2011To improve fuel efficiency, in 2009 we continuedbegan a program to install winglets on LAN’s existing Boeing 767 aircraft fleet, which we continue to install as we receive new 767 aircraft. The installation of winglets on our Boeing 767 aircraft fleet, achievinghelped us to achieve average fuel efficiencies of approximately 5% per aircraft. To mitigateaircraft per year since implementation.

During 2013, and after a process of reviewing its post-merger fleet plan and fleet requirements, LATAM decided to undertake a broad fleet restructuring plan with the environmental impactaim of our operations we strivereducing the number of models operated, phasing out less efficient models and allocating aircraft best suited to operateeach one of its markets. As a result, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013 and for approximately the next thirty months, the Company will phase out all of its A330s, A340s, B737s and Q400 and Q200s. During 2013, this process generated non-recurring costs of US$29 million resulting from penalties related to anticipated redeliveries and other redelivery expenses.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased by 3.9% as compared to pro forma cost of sales for 2012, mainly resulting from a sustainable manner by reducing ourdecrease of 7.7% in aircraft fuel consumptionexpenses, both because of lower prices and consumption; and a decrease of 4.0% in wages and benefits related emissions.to a lower headcount.

Outlook

Our long-term strategy is aimed at consolidating LAN’sLATAM Airlines Group’s position as the mainpreferred passenger and cargo airline group in South America. The creation of LATAM Airlines Group in 2012, following the combination of LAN and TAM, has created the largest airline group in Latin America, with the largest fleet and number of destinations and, we believe, superior service standards. This combination has enabled LATAM to serve all major domestic markets across Latin America and has positioned us to compete in an increasingly consolidating global airline industry.

We will continue to expand our network by further developing our existing routes, adding new destinations, developing new alliances, and entering new markets. We expect our strong brand recognition, andcoupled with a continuous effort to improve service standards to drive increased customer preference, ultimately leading to strong market shares in the markets we serve. Our product and service design is aimed at providing passengers and cargo customers with differentiated offerings that provide valuable solutions to the needs of each of our customer types. We also aim to have products and services that evolve together with changes in technology, market conditions and competitive actions. We plan to maintain a highly competitive cost structure by leveraging our cost-conscious culture, incorporating new technologies and practices, and by identifying and implementing adequate cost-reduction and efficiency-related initiatives. We believe that a focus on flexibility will enable us to adequatelyeffectively react to changing market conditions. Finally, a healthy financial structure will allow us to effectively fund our growth, enhance our strategic development and reinforce our customer appeal.

Our results will be mainly determined by the expansion of our current network, the evolution of our market share in our main markets, our level of success in entering new markets, the successful combination between LAN and TAM and achievement of the expected synergies, the continued implementation of new efficiency-related programs, the continued implementation of our business model for short-haul operations, and fuel price levels.

 

We plan to increase frequencies on long-haul flights out of Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Argentina, and eventually add new destinations in the United States and Europe. We plan to reinforce our regional network through the addition of new frequencies on our current routes and the addition of new destinations. We plan in a next step to expand international operations through LAN Colombia. As of February 29, 2012, LAN Colombia operates only one international route from El Dorado airport in Bogotá to Miami. We will also seek to enter into new alliances in both the passenger and cargo business, especially to build up our presence in new markets.

 

Competitive activity in key markets has increased gradually in recent years, and we expect it to continue doing so in the future. Nevertheless, we expect to maintain solid market shares based on offering attractive value propositions that combine broad international and domestic networks, a strong customer focus and a competitive cost base.

pricing.

 

We are also working on increasingto increase our efficiency by streamlining our support processes, reducing commercial costs, and by continuing with the implementation of our newdomestic business model on short-haul operations. Further enhancementsefficiencies should arise from economies of scale, especially as solid growth in the passenger business accompanied by controlled fixed costs will serve to dilutereduce our fixed costscost base. In both the passenger and the cargo business, efficiencies arebusinesses, we also expected to come from the replacement ofexpect increased efficiency as we replace older aircraft with new and more fuel-efficient Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 models and the Airbus A350, and from fuel efficiency-related initiatives such as installing winglets on the B767 fleet as well as continuingfleet.

We will continue to adjustfocus on optimizing the utilization of the belly capacity of our wide body aircraft configurationfor the transportation of cargo, in order to market demand.benefit from the competitive advantage provided by our integrated passenger and cargo business model.

Overall, we believe that these initiatives will enable us to successfully respond to growth opportunities, maintain a solid competitive position, and manage operating expenses.

Our financial performance will also continue to be highly dependent onsignificantly affected by jet fuel prices. These prices rose significantly until mid-2008, which led to a sharp rise in our fuel expenditures, but significantly declined in 2009. Presently, there is a trend towards increases in jetDuring 2010 and 2011 fuel prices becauserecovered from the 2009 decline and again rose significantly, as a result of the increased demand caused by the 2010 recovery in the global economy coupled with geopolitical conflicts that affected global fuel supplysupply. In 2012 jet fuel prices fluctuated in a stable range, having a lower impact in our fuel expenses as compared to prior years. At the end of 2013, fuel prices were high principally because of positive signs of growth in the last year.United States, and presently, fuel is following the same trend, mainly because of the Ukraine/Russia conflict and also because of positive signs of growth in the United States and Europe. Although we have implemented a number of strategies to mitigate the impact of the volatility of fuel prices, including financial hedging, the use of fuel surcharges, and tactical reduction of capacity, it is unlikely that we will be able to fully protect ourselves against the volatility of fuel costs.

Overall, we believe that these initiatives will enable us to successfully respond to growth opportunities, maintain a solid competitive position, and enhance our distinct cost performance.

Net Income

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 equaled US$ 263.8 million, representing an increase of US$ 258.2 million from a net loss of US$5.6 million in 2012. Net loss attributable to the parents of the company rose to US$ 281.1 million in 2013 from US$19.1 million in 2012. Results for the 2013 year were negatively impacted by a foreign exchange loss of US$ 482.2 million mainly resulting from the depreciation of the Brazilian real in the year. On the other hand, in 2012 and 2013, LATAM incurred US$59.2 and US$56.0 million, respectively, of non-recurring expenses related to the merger and integration costs, and an accounting charge of US$70 million related to the increase in the Chilean corporate tax rate from 17% to 20% during 2012.

Our total operating revenues increased by 33.1% to US$ 12,924.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to revenues of US$ 9,710.4 million in 2012, reflecting the consolidation of TAM’s revenues in 2012 only since June 23. The 2013 increase in operating revenues was attributable to a 38.8% increase in passenger revenues, and a 6.9% increase in cargo revenues. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 85.6% and 14.4% of total operating revenues in 2013, respectively.

Passenger traffic and capacity in 2013 increased significantly following the full year consolidation of TAM’s domestic and international operations. Capacity increases in 2013 were mainly focused on domestic routes in our Spanish speaking countries and regional routes within Latin America, and were partially offset by decreased capacity on Brazilian domestic routes and long haul routes, especially to Europe.

Operating expenses also increased as a result of our increased operations following the combination with TAM on June 22, 2012.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased by 33.1% to US$12,924.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$9,710.4 million in 2012. Our consolidated passenger revenues increased by 38.8% to US$11,061.6 million in 2013 from US$7,966.8 million in 2012, primarily as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s revenue for 2012 since June 23.

Cargo revenues increased by 6.9%, to US$1,863.0 million in 2013 from US$1,743.5 million in 2012, also as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s cargo revenues for full year 2013. The slight increase in cargo revenues in spite of TAM’s cargo integration is a result of a weak global cargo scenario which has impacted both cargo traffic and yields.Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased by 31.7% to US$10,054.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$7,634.5 million in 2012, mainly as a result of increased operations due to the complete consolidation of TAM’s costs for year 2013. As a percentage of total operating revenues, cost of sales decreased from 78.6% in 2012 to 77.8% in 2013.

The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which increased by 28.5% to US$4,414.2 million in 2013 as a result of higher fuel consumption related to the incorporation of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012, which was partially offset by lower average fuel prices and efficiency initiatives. In addition, LATAM recognized a net gain of US$19.0 million in fuel hedging in 2013, compared to the fuel hedge loss of US$1.8 million in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization increased by US$270.6 million amounting to US$1,041.7 million, which represents an increase of 35.1% mainly due to the incorporation of all of TAM’s fleet (including new TAM fleet deliveries in 2012) starting June 23, 2012.

Wages and benefits increased by US$449.8 million amounting to US$1,881.0 million, which represents an increase of 31.4%, mainly due to the incorporation of TAM’s employees following the combination of LAN and TAM in 2012.

Other rental and landing fees increased by 30.4% to US$1,373.1 million in 2013 from U$1,052.6 million in 2012, resulting from higher fees related to a larger operation with the consolidation of TAM’s fees for full year 2013.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 60.3%, from US$297.6 million in 2012 to US$477.1 million in 2013, as a result of higher costs related to a larger fleet and higher maintenance costs related to redeliveries of aircraft.

Aircraft rentals increased by 42.8% to US$441.1 million in 2013 from US$308.8 million in 2012, primarily due to the complete consolidation of TAM’s fleet for full year 2013 and the net increase of aircraft under operating leases during the year.

Passenger service expenses increased by 38.2%, to US$331.4 million in 2013 compared to US$239.8 million in 2012, mainly resulting from the increase in passengers transported after the combination of LAN and TAM.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased by 38.3% from US$2,075.9 million in 2012 to US$2,870.4 million in 2013.

Other Consolidated Results

Other operating income increased in 2013 by US$121.4 million, from US$220.2 million to US$341.6 million, due to the incorporation of TAM’s other revenues since June 22, 2012, a US$28.7 million revenue from Multiplus’breakage and non-air redemptions, and an income for recognizing US$10.8 million and US$ 8.2 million generated as a result of the sale and lease-back of ten Airbus A330 aircraft, and two Airbus A318 aircraft and an engine during the second quarter of the year.

Distribution costs increased by 27.7% from US$803.6 million in 2012 to US$1,025.9 million in 2013, as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s results only starting in June 23, 2012.

Administrative expenses increased by 27.8% from US$888.7 million in 2012 to US$1,136.1 million in 2013, mainly due to an increase of 30.6% in wages and benefits resulting from the higher number of employees following the combination of LAN and TAM in 2012.

Other operating expenses increased by 31.1% from US$311.8 million in 2012 to US$408.7 million in 2013, as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses and costs related to tours and travel services, related to the integration of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012.

Financial income decreased to US$72.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$77.5 million in 2012, due to a lower average cash balance and interest rates during the period.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) increased by 57.0% to US$462.5 million in 2013 from US$292.6 million in 2012 due to higher average long-term debt related to fleet financing mainly related to the consolidation of TAM’s fleet.

Exchange rate differences decreased from a gain of US$66.7 million in 2012 to a loss of US$482.2 million in 2013, mainly resulting from the depreciation if the Brazilian real in the period.

Under other gains (losses), the Company recorded a net loss of US$55.4 million in 2013 as compared to a net loss of US$45.8 million in 2012.

Income tax credit for 2013 amounted to US$ 20.1 million as compared to an income tax expense of US$102.4 million in 2012. For more information, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Taxes” below and Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Net loss

Net loss decreased by 46.7% to a loss of US$263.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from a pro forma loss of US$494.9 million in 2012. Net loss attributable to the owners of the parent decreased by 46.3% to US$281.1 million from a pro forma net loss of US$523.1 million in 2012. Results for year 2013 were negatively impacted by a foreign exchange loss of US$ 482.2 million primarily resulting from the 10.4% depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 as compared to 2012. Results for 2013 also include US$ 29 million in non-recurring costs related to the restructuring of LATAM’s fleet plan. For more information, see “—Business strategy – Fleet restructuring plan”.

LATAM’s total operating revenues slightly decreased by 0.2% during 2013 as compared to pro forma revenues for 2012, reflecting the rationalization of our domestic Brazil and international operations and a still challenging scenario in the cargo business. These variations include the negative impact of the 10.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 as compared to 2012 in revenues denominated in that currency. The decrease in operating revenues was attributable to a decrease of 4.0% in cargo revenues, partially offset by an increase of 0.4% in passenger revenues. Passenger and cargo accounted to 85.6% and 14.4% of total operating revenues, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Total operating expenses decreased by 3.9%, mainly due to lower fuel expenses, reflecting the 2.2% decrease in consumption and the 5.6% decrease in fuel price (after hedge). Lower wages and benefits of 4.0% in the year also positively impacted our operating expenses in 2013 as compared to pro forma operating expenses in 2012.

Operating Revenues

LATAM’s total operating revenues decreased 0.2% to US$ 12,924.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from pro forma operating revenues of US$ 12,956.7 million in 2012, as a result of a 4.0% decrease in cargo revenues, partially offset by a 0.4% increase in passenger revenues.

Passenger revenues increased by 0.4% to US$ 11,061.6 million in 2013 as compared to pro forma passenger revenues of US$ 11.017.0 million in 2012, as a result of an increase of 2.5% in passenger traffic, partially offset by a decrease of 2.0% in passenger yields. Load factors increased by 2.3 percentage points from 78.6% (pro forma) to 80.8%, as the increase in traffic was despite the 0.4% decrease in capacity. Overall, revenues per ASK increased by 0.8% as compared to pro forma revenues per ASK for 2013, including the effect of the devaluation of the Brazilian real on revenues denominated in that currency during year 2013. During 2013, the 0.4% decrease in capacity as compared to pro forma capacity for 2012 was mainly a result of a strong decrease in capacity of 8.4% in the Brazilian domestic market and a rationalization of our international routes, mainly long haul routes from Brazil to Europe. This contraction was partially offset by still strong capacity increases of 11.0% in our Spanish speaking domestic markets in the period. Total passenger yields decreased mostly as a result of the depreciation of the Brazilian real and other currencies in LAN’s domestic markets.

Cargo revenues decreased by 4.0% to US$ 1,863.0 million in 2013 from pro forma cargo revenues of US$1,939.8 million in 2012, as a result of a decline of 3.5% in cargo yields and a 0.5% decrease in traffic. Cargo demand continued to be weak in this period, in particular on import routes into Latin America. Additionally, the decline in yields reflects the 10.4% depreciation of the Brazilian real on cargo revenues in the Brazilian domestic market during 2013 as compared to 2012, and competitive pressures from regional and international cargo carriers.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased by 4.6% to US$10,054.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from a pro forma cost of sales of US$10,536.7 million in 2012, mainly as a result of lower fuel expenses in the year. Cost of sales was positively impacted by the 10.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 as compared to 2012 in costs denominated in that currency. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales decreased from 81.3% in 2012 to 77.8% in 2013.

Aircraft fuel expense decreased by 7.7% to US$ 4,414.2 million in 2013 compared to a pro forma fuel expense of US$ 4,780.3 million in 2012. Fuel expense decreased both because of a decrease of 2.2% in consumption and a decrease in the cost of fuel. The decrease in consumption goes in line with the rationalization of passenger and cargo operations which resulted in a decrease of 0.2% in our ASK-equivalents in the year as compared to 2012 (pro forma), and ongoing fuel efficiency initiatives. The into-wing (fuel price

plus taxes and transportation costs) 2013 average final price was US$3.50 per gallon (without hedge), representing a 5.2% decrease from the 2012 average. In addition, during 2013 the Company recognized US$19.0 million in fuel hedge gains as compared to fuel hedge losses of US$ 1.8 million in year 2012.

Wages and benefits decreased 6.4% to US$1,881.0 million in 2013 compared to US$2,009.0 million in 2012, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Brazilian real during 2013 as compared to 2012. This effect was partially offset by the increase in the average wages.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by 4.2% to US$1,041.7 million in 2013 from US$1,087.0 million in 2012 (pro forma), mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Brazilian real in the year as compared to 2012. Excluding this effect, depreciation would have increased slightly as a result of the incorporation of twenty-five aircraft from the Airbus A320 family, four Boeing 767 aircraft, two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and two Boeing 787-800 aircraft to our total fleet (on and off balance sheet) during the year; partially offset by the phase out of thirteen Airbus A320 family aircraft, one Airbus A340 aircraft, one Boeing 767 aircraft, three Bombardier Dhc8-200 aircraft and one Bombardier Dhc-400 aircraft during the year.

Other rental and landing fees decreased by 0.3% to US$ 1,373.1 million in 2013 from pro forma rentals and landing fees of US$ 1,377.1 million in 2012, mainly as a result of lower aeronautical fees.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 12.4% to US$477.1 million in 2013 from US$424.4 million in 2012 (pro forma) mainly due to more aircraft redeliveries, which resulted in increased maintenance expenses for required checks prior to the return of such aircraft to lessors during the year. This effect was partially offset by the depreciation of the Brazilian real on maintenance done in Brazil.

Aircraft rentals increased 4.5% to US$ 441.1 million in 2013 from pro forma rentals of US$ 422.0 million in 2012, explained by the incorporation under operating leases of five Airbus A320 family aircraft, ten Airbus A330 aircraft, two Boeing B777 aircraft and two Boeing B787 aircraft aircraft to our fleet. This effect was partially offset by the phase out of aircraft under operating leases, including eight Airbus A320 family aircraft, one Airbus A340 aircraft, one Boeing B737 aircraft, two Boeing B767 aircraft, three Bombardier Dhc 8-200 aircraft and one Bombardier Dhc 8-400 aircraft during the same period.

Passenger service expenses increased by 5.2% to US$ 331.4 million from pro forma passenger services of US$ 314.9 million in 2012, mainly resulting from the increase of 3.1% in passengers transported and increases in passenger concessions.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased by 22.2% from US$2,420.1 million in 2012 (pro forma) to US$2,870.4 million in 2013.

Other Consolidated Results

Other operating income increased by US$ 76.2 million to US$341.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 from US$265.4 million in 2012 (pro forma), mainly as a result of increased income of US$28.7 million from Multiplus resulting from breakage and non-air redemptions during 2013 and the income of US$10.8 million and US$ 8.2 million generated as a result of the sale and lease-back of ten Airbus A330 aircraft, and two Airbus A318 aircraft and an engine, during the second quarter of the year, respectively.

Distribution costs decreased by 3.2% from US$1,059.7 million in 2012 (pro forma) to US$1,025.9 million in 2013. This decrease was related to lower commissions to agents (related to both passenger and cargo sales), which decreased 2.0% to US$408.7 million in 2013 from US$417.1 million in 2012.

Administrative expenses decreased by 3.3% from US$1,174.8 million in 2012 (pro forma) to US$1,136.1 million in 2013 due to lower wages and benefits expenses resulting from a lower headcount in the period and the 10.4% depreciation of the Brazilian real as compared to 2012, partially offset by the recognition of US$15.5 million in compensations related to the voluntary leave and retirement program of 800 employees at TAM.

Other operating expenses increased by 12.1% from US$364.5 million in 2012 to US$408.7 million in 2013.

Financial income decreased by 37.9% to US$72.8 million in 2013 from US$117.2 million in 2012, mainly due to a lower average cash balance and lower interest rates during the period.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) increased by 4.1% to US$462.5 million in 2013 from US$444.2 million in 2012 (pro forma) mainly as a result of a new debt profile, which includes the securitized bond issued in November 2013.

Exchange rate differences resulted in a loss of US$482.2 million in 2013 compared to a loss of US$290.1 million in 2012. This variation is mainly explained due to a depreciation of the Brazilian real in 2013 compared to 2012 and the depreciation of local currencies in LAN’s Spanish speaking countries in the period.

Income tax credit amounted to US$20.1 million in 2013 as compared to a pro forma tax credit of US$69.7 million in 2012. For more information, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Taxes” below and Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects the following adjustments:

a)Exchange rate and reclassifications: TAM’s functional and presentation currency under IFRS is the Brazilian real. Solely for the purpose of preparing these pro forma adjustments, TAM’s income statements have been translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for each quarter. Furthermore, in order to conform TAM’s financial figures to LATAM’s financial statement presentation, certain reclassifications were made to TAM’s income statement. In addition, TAM historical information for 2012 and prior periods had certain errors that were revised for 2012. For more information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Accounting Impact of the Business Combination.”

b)Property, plant and equipment (Fleet, including finance leases): The fair value of TAM’s aircraft recorded as property, plant and equipment was decreased to reflect the fair value on the date of the business combination. As a result of this adjustment and adjustments related to changes in the method of depreciation of aircraft components, major maintenance associated with those components, useful lives and residual values, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects an increase in cost of sales of US$43.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The details of the differences in depreciation methods are as follows:

I.TAM does not recognize and separately depreciate major maintenance components of aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment for which they hold power by the hour maintenance contracts; such maintenance costs are recorded as a liability in the balance sheet and expense in the statement of income as hours are flown and cycles incurred. See pro forma adjustment (e) where this provision in TAM’s statement of income is reversed. LATAM recognizes separately and depreciates all such maintenance components over their technical useful lives as measured in flight hours or cycles. The effects on depreciation of applying LATAM’s policy to TAM’s aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment are included in the pro forma adjustment noted in (b) above.

II.The pro forma adjustments noted in (b) above include the effects of reassigning residual values to TAM’s aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment for the purposes of calculating depreciation. Such residual values have been determined based on the expected market value of each aircraft or engine at the end of its expected useful life.

III.For the purposes of calculating the above pro forma adjustments to depreciation, the fair value of TAM’s aircraft have been separated into components using the methodology and percentage benchmarks which LATAM has developed for the purposes of depreciating its fleet of aircraft and engines.

IV.The useful lives applied to depreciate the maintenance related components of TAM’s aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment for the purposes of the Pro Forma Statement of Income have been determined, where applicable, based on the standards used by LATAM for each specific model of aircraft and engine. The useful lives applied to non-maintenance related components have been maintained as those applied by LATAM and TAM in each of their financial statements, as these useful lives are dependent on the contractual conditions of ownership or leasing of each individual aircraft and engine.

c)Property, plant and equipment (Land and buildings): The carrying value of TAM’s land and buildings was decreased to reflect the fair value on the date of the transaction. As a result of this adjustment, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects a decrease in depreciation of US$1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

d)Aircraft operating leases: The provision for major maintenance on TAM’s aircraft under operating leases with time & materials maintenance contracts was increased, in order to account for these maintenance costs in a manner consistent with that applied by LATAM in its consolidated financial statements. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects an increase in cost of sales of US$46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and an increase in other losses of US$7.8 million. TAM does not establish a provision for these costs but rather records them in its statement of income when such costs are incurred. LATAM records a provision for these costs based on flight hours and cycles incurred from the date on which the aircraft is first leased and utilizes this provision as and when related major maintenance activity occurs or reimbursements are required to be made to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

e)The provision for maintenance costs relating to TAM aircraft and engines recorded as property, plant and equipment was decreased to account for these costs in a manner consistent with that applied in the LATAM consolidated financial statements. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects a decrease in cost of sales of US$39.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. As discussed in the pro forma adjustments noted in in (b)(I) above, LATAM’s accounting policy for aircraft and engines recorded in property plant and equipment provides for the major maintenance components of such aircraft to be designated as components within property plant and equipment and depreciated over their technical useful lives as measured in flight hours or cycles. TAM accounts for such costs for aircraft and engines under power by the hour contracts in its financial statements by creating a liability and recording the corresponding cost in its statement of income for each hour or cycle flown.

f)LAN and TAM incurred a total of US$59.2 million in one-time costs directly attributable to the business combination for the year ended December 31, 2012. These costs relate primarily to fees paid to legal and other professional advisors. These non-recurring costs and the related tax effects have been eliminated in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income. Additionally, a fair value adjustment of US$16.7 million relating to credit card chargebacks increased administrative expenses for the year. On a net basis, these adjustments resulted in a decrease in administrative expenses of US$42.4 million.

g)Hedge Accounting: The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects an increase in interest income of US$13.2 million for the year 2012 and a decrease in interest expense of US$7.6 million for year 2012, to account for TAM fuel hedging costs in a manner consistent with that applied by LATAM in its consolidated financial statements. Fuel hedging contracts are not subject to hedge accounting at TAM, but LATAM accounts for these contracts under hedge accounting.

h)Financial liabilities: The difference between the fair value and the face amount of borrowings on the date of the business combination is amortized as an increase in financial costs over the remaining term of the borrowings based on their respective maturity dates. As a result of these adjustments, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects higher financial costs of US$9.7 million for the period the year ended December 31, 2012. On a net basis, when taken together with the decrease in interest expense as a result of TAM fuel hedging costs adjustments described in (f) above, the unaudited pro forma statement of income reflects an aggregate increase in financial costs of US$2.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2012.

i)Income Taxes: The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Income reflects a decrease in income tax expense of US$3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. These adjustments correspond to the deferred income tax effects of the purchase accounting and accounting policy adjustments to TAM’s results. The deferred income tax effects have been calculated by applying the Brazilian statutory income tax rate of 34%, and the effective tax rate of LAN to the expenses corresponding to the Company.

j)Earnings per share: Basic and diluted pro forma earnings per share have been calculated for the year ended December 31, 2012 based on the assumption that the shares issued in order to consummate the transaction had been issued at January 1, 2012.

2012 from an income of US$320.2321 million in 2011, mainly2011. Results for the 2012 year were negatively impacted by a net loss of US$45 million related to the business combination with TAM and integration costs of US$47 million, due to the impactcombination of LAN and TAM on June 22, 2012. In addition, LATAM recorded an accounting charge of US$70 million related to the startupincrease in the Chilean corporate tax rate from 17% to 20% during 2012.

LATAM’s total operating revenues increased by 73.9% during 2012, reflecting the consolidation of LAN’s operations in Colombia and the volcanic ash cloud that disrupted air traffic throughout the region, which amounted to approximately US$51.7 million and US$36.6 million respectively,TAM’s revenues from June 23, 2012, as well as 34.2% higher fuel prices, a portion of which was not recovered via the fuel surcharge mechanism.

The revenue increase during 2011 continues to reflect solid upward demand trends in bothour passenger business. The increase in operating revenues was attributable to an increase in passenger and cargo operations.revenues of 98.7% and 10.6%, respectively. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 71.8%82% and 28.2%18% of total operating revenues respectively. Passenger yields increased mainly as a result of an increase in fuel surcharges, in line with the increase of WTI prices and the crack spread.2012, respectively.

Passenger traffic and capacity increased significantly in 2011 included LAN Colombia’s2012 following the consolidation of TAM’s domestic and international operations. CapacityOther capacity increases were mainly focused mainly on domestic routes within Chile, regional routes within Latin America, and long-haul routes to the United States. This expansion wasStates, and were partially offset by decreased capacity on long haul routes to EuropeBrazilian domestic routes.

Operating expenses also increased as a result of itinerary changes implementedour increase in 2011, mainlyoperations (including a larger fleet) following the cancellation of the route between Madrid and Paris in July, 2011.combination with TAM on June 22, 2012.

Operating costs increased mainly due to higher fuel costs of US$454.7 million, reflecting increased consumption of 12.2%, a 28.8% increase after hedges in fuel prices, higher wages and salaries driven by the appreciation of Latin America currencies, and higher headcount resulting from the consolidation of Aires.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues in 2011 totaledincreased 73.9% to US$5,585.49,710 million a 27.2% increase as compared to total operating revenues offor the year ended December 31, 2012 from US$4,390.55,585 million in 2010.2011.

Overall, revenues per ASK increased 13.4%. Traffic grewprimarily as a result of a 23.7% increase in domestic traffic (including domestic operations by LAN and its affiliates in Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador), and a 12.6% increase in international traffic. International traffic accounted for approximately 68.1%the consolidation of our total passenger traffic during 2011. At system level, yields increased 11.9%TAM’s revenue from June 23, 2012. These consolidated revenues incorporate US$3,645 million as a result of solid demand trendsthe business combination with TAM. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase in both passenger and cargo operations that were also affected by fuel surcharges.

Domestic passenger revenues is mainly attributable to an increase of 12.0% in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia which accounted for approximately 39% of our total passenger revenues in 2011capacity, as compared to approximately 35% in 2010, increased 42.2% to US$1,540.8 million in 2011 from US$1,093.0 million in 2010. Domestic passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs) increased 23.7%, while domestic passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 23.5%, resulting inASKs, and a 0.9% increase in load factor from 77.7% in 2010 to 77.8% in 2011. Domestic passenger yield increased 17.6% from US¢10.8 in 2010 to US¢12.7 in 2011, mainly due to strong increases in traffic and to a lesser extent fuel surcharges.

International passenger revenues, which accounted for approximately 61% of total passenger revenues in 2011 as compared to approximately 65% of passenger revenues in 2010, increased 21.7% to US$2,454.4 million in 2011 from US$2,016.9 million in 2010. International passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs) increased 12.6%, while passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 9.4% in 2011, resulting in an improvement in load factor from 78.5% in 2010 to 80.8% in 2011. Total international passenger yield (based on RPKs) increased 8.1% to US¢9.4 in 2011 from US¢8.7 in 2010, driven by the inclusion of fuel surcharges and solid demand.unit revenue per ASK.

Cargo revenues increased 23.1%,by 10.6% to US$1,576.51,743 million in 2012 from US$1,576 million in 2011, also as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s cargo revenues from June 23, 2012. These consolidated Cargo revenues incorporate US$1,280.7196 million as a result of the combination with TAM. Excluding this effect, cargo revenues decreased 2.2%.

Other operating income also increased by US$87 million to US$133 million in 2010, mainly driven by a 10.4% increase in yields (US¢43.62012 from US$220 million in 2011, from US¢39.5 in 2010)due primarily to the sale of two properties owned by Inmobiliaria Aeronautica S.A., an affiliate of LATAM, and coupled with an 11.5% increase in traffic. In 2011, cargo traffic was driven by solid demand in the region reflected in growth in Latin American cargo markets, as well as improved revenue management practicessale of a Boeing 767-200 and itinerary optimization.

The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which totaledincreased by 96.3% to US$1,750.13,434 million in 2011, a 50.6% increase as compared to aircraft fuel expenses of2012 from US$1,161.91,750 million in 2010.2011. Fuel expenses increased mainly due to a 37.2%68.7% increase in unhedged jet fuelconsumption related to the incorporation of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012. Notwithstanding the incorporation of TAM’s operations, the increase reflects a rise of 7.4% in prices (34.2% in the hedged price), coupled with a 12.2% increaseand 6.1% in consumption. However, the CompanyIn addition, LATAM recognized a net loss of US$39.91.8 million in fuel hedge gain,hedging, compared to a US$1.0 million fuel hedge gain in 2010, resulting in a 28.8% increase in fuel prices after hedges.

Fuel costs comprise the single largest category of our operating expenses. Over the last few years, our fuel consumption and operating expenses have increased due to the significant growth in our operations and to the increase in fuel prices as a result of economic and political factors. In 2011, the foregoing trend was affected by geopolitical instability in the Middle East and the total fuel costs represented 33.8% of our total operating expenses. The into-wing (fuel price plus taxes and transportation costs) 2011 average final price was US$3.11 per gallon, representing a 34.2% increase from the 2010 average.

Depreciation and amortization increased 17.8% mainly due to the incorporation in 2011 under property, plant and equipments of four new Airbus A319, 9 new Airbus A320s, and three Boeing 767-300s and the incorporation of additional aircrafts under operating leases.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 51.2%, from US$120.740 million in 20102011.

Wages and benefits increased 99.5% to US$182.41,431 million in 2012 compared to US$718 million in 2011, mainly due to the incorporationcombination between LAN and TAM.

Depreciation and amortization increased by US$388 million of which US$318 million was due to the LAN Colombia´s fleet and the deliverycombination with TAM. This represents an increase of four Airbus A319 and 13 Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, three Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft and one Boeing 767-300F freighter. The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.

Aircraft Rentals increased 76.7%98% mainly due to the incorporation in 2012 under property, plant and equipment of all of TAM’s fleet (including new TAM fleet deliveries in 2012). Notwithstanding the incorporation of TAM’s fleet, the increase was mainly due to the addition to the LAN Colombia’s fleet consisting of three Airbus A319 aircraft, seven A320 Airbus aircraft, nine Boeing 737-700s, 10 Dash 8-200s767 aircraft, three Boeing 787 aircraft, four Boeing 777 aircraft and four Dash 8-Q400s. Additionally, thistwo Boeing 777F aircraft during 2012.

Other rental and landing fees increased by US$381 million, of which US$335 million was due to the combination with TAM. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase consideredis largely due to higher charter aircraft rentals and aeronautical charges and handling fees, in line with the incorporationincrease in the size of the LAN fleet during the year detailed above. This increase was partially offset by lower costs of aviation insurance.

Aircraft maintenance expenses increased by 63.7%, to US$298 million in 2012 from US$182 million in 2011, with US$77 million due to the combination with TAM. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase is due to the increase in the size of sixthe LAN fleet during the year detailed above.

Aircraft rentals increased by US$139 million, primarily due to an increase of US$133 million in aircraft rentals as a result of the combination with TAM. In addition, LATAM recently leased four Airbus A320s,A320 aircraft. This increase is partially offset by the return of three Boeing 737s and one leasedtwo Boeing 767-300F freighter.767s.

Passenger service expenses totaledincreased by 76.5%, to US$136.0240 million in 20112012 when compared to passenger service expenses of US$114.2136 million in 2010.2011. This representedincrease was primarily due to the effect of the combination with TAM, which added US$92 million to the passenger service expenses. Notwithstanding the combination with TAM, the increase is primarily due to a 19.1% increase that was driven by a 30.6%16.4% increase in the number of passengers transported, during the year, as well as higherpartially offset by lower passenger compensation paid to passengers during this period.payments.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased 9.4%by 37.8% to US$2,076 million in 2012 from US$1,377.81,507 million in 2010 to US$1,506.8 million2011, as the increase in 2011.total revenues in 2012 following the combination of LAN and TAM were greater than the increase in costs of sales associated with the consolidation of TAM’s operations.

Other Consolidated Results

Other operating income remained stable atincreased by US$87 million to US$132.8220 million in 2010 and 2011, where growth in revenuesfor the year ended December 31, 2012 from tours and travel services, duty free sales and maintenance services were offset by the exclusion of revenues from Blue Express, LAN’s logistic and courier subsidiary sold in early April 2011.

Interest income decreased by 2.7% to US$14.5133 million in 2011, fromdue primarily to the sale of two properties owned by Inmobiliaria Aeronautica S.A. and the sale of a Boeing 767-200 and three Airbus A318s, which together amounted to approximately US$14.929 million. As a result of the combination with TAM, US$50 million in 2010, dueother operating revenue relating to a lower average cash balance during the period.TAM has been included in our consolidated results.

Distribution costs increased 25.1%by 67.5% to US$804 million in 2012 from US$383.5 million in 2010 to US$479.8 million in 2011. This increase was caused by higher overall commissions to agents (related to both passenger and cargo sales), which increased 20.7% to US$209.3480 million in 2011, as a result of the consolidation of TAM’s results from US$173.4 million in 2010, and by a. 27.2% increase in traffic revenues (passenger and cargo), partially offset by a 0.2 point reduction in average commissions. This reduction was mainly related to lower commissions in the cargo business.June 23, 2012.

Administrative expenses increased 22.3%by 119.0% to US$889 million in 2012 from US$331.8 million in 2010 to US$405.7406 million in 2011, due to the higher wagesnumber of administrative personnelemployees following the combination of LAN and higher asset (non aircraft) depreciation, as a result of additionsTAM in 2010 and 2011.2012.

Other operating expenses increased 24.4%by 44.4% to US$310 million in 2012 from US$172.4 million in 2010 to US$214.4214 million in 2011, as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses, and costs related to tours and travel services.services, related to the combination of TAM’s operations from June 23, 2012.

Financial income increased to US$77 million in 2012 from US$14 million in 2011, due to a higher average cash balance during the period, following the consolidation of TAM’s results from June 23, 2012.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) decreasedincreased by 10.4%112.2% to US$139.1295 million in 2012 from US$139 million in 2011 from US$155.3 million in 2010 due to the fact that higher average long-term debt related to fleet financing was offset by the recognition of interestmainly related to the financingconsolidation of pre-delivery payments (PDPs), in line with the accounting policy regarding these payments (IFRS).TAM’s fleet.

Exchange rate differences decreased fromincreased to a gain of US$13.867 million in 2010 to an expense2012 from a loss of US$0.3 million in 2011. The 20102012 amount was a result of a recognized US$5.4 million gain that mainly stemmed from foreign exchange variations during the period; part of the exchange gain was a result of remittances from LAN’s operations in Venezuela. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk of Variation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates”, for a discussion of LAN’s hedging program for currency fluctuations. On December 31, 2011, the Company held US$25.9 million in assets located in Venezuela, of which over 92.0% constituted cash equivalents. On a consolidated basis, the Company’s assets related to its operations in Venezuela represented 0.4% of the total assets of the Company. For the year 2011, operating revenues of the Venezuelan regional office represented 1.2% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. In Venezuela, effective 2003, the authorities decreed that all remittances abroad should be approved by the Currency Management Commission (CADIVI). Despite having free availability of bolivares in Venezuela, the Company has certain restrictions for freely remitting these funds outside Venezuela. Since January 2010, exchange rate for Venezuelan Bolivars (VEF) is fixed to 4.3 VEF/US$ .The Company’s operations in Venezuela are carried out through an agency that, from an accounting perspective, is considered an extension of the Company. Therefore, the functional currency is the US dollar and hyperinflationary accounting is not required.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a US$14.1 million gain (pre-tax)primarily due to the reversalconsolidation of a portion of the provision related to the investigationTAM operations from June 23, 2012, which are substantially conducted in the cargo business carried out by the European Commission. This was as a result of the fine announced in November 2010, which was lower than the amount provided for. This reversal is recorded in Other gains/(losses). (See “Item 4.

Net income for the period increased 80.6% from US$233.0 million in 2009 to US$420.9 million in 2010. Net income attributable to the parent company’s equity holders increased 81.6% from US$231.1 million in 2009 to US$419.7 million in 2010.business combination

The revenue increase during 2010merger between LAN and TAM has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, with LAN treated as the acquirer of TAM.

Consideration paid was driven bycalculated, in accordance with IFRS 3, as the recoverysum of the world economyfair value of the LAN shares provided and the strong capacity expansion in bothsqueeze-out of the passenger and cargo businesses. In addition,remaining TAM shareholders. Following this criteria, the traffic increased strongly, driving yields and load factors higher.

Operating costs increased mainly due to higher fuel prices, higher wages and salaries driven by the appreciationtotal consideration paid as of Latin America currencies, as well as higher costs related to ACMI leases in the cargo business.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues in 2010 totaledJune 22, 2012 was US$4,390.5 million, a 24.8% increase as compared to total operating revenues of US$3,519.2 million in 2009. Our consolidated passenger revenues increased 18,5% to US$3,109.8

million in 2010 from US$2,623.6 million in 2009, due to a 6.8% increase in yields (from US¢8.8 to US¢9.4), and passenger load factors, which increased from 76.9% in 2009 to 78.3% in 2010 as the 11.2% increase in traffic outpaced the 9.2% capacity increase. Overall, revenues per ASK increased 8.5%. Traffic grew as a result of a 10.6% increase in domestic traffic (including domestic operations by LAN and its affiliates in Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador), and an 11.3% increase in international traffic. International traffic accounted for approximately 70% of our total passenger traffic during 2010. Yields increased 6.8% as a result of a stronger demand environment driven by world economy recovery during the year.

Domestic passenger revenues in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador, which accounted for approximately 35% of our total passenger revenues in 2010 as compared to approximately 36% in 2009, increased 14.7% to US$1,072.4 million in 2010 from US$934.9 million in 2009. Domestic passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs) increased 10.5%, while domestic passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 6.6%, resulting in a increase in load factor from 74.9% in 2009 to 77.7% in 2010. Domestic passenger yield increased 3.7% from US¢10.4 in 2009 to US¢10.8 in 2010, mainly due to strong increases in traffic.

International passenger revenues, which accounted for approximately 65% of total passenger revenues in 2010 as compared to approximately 64% of passenger revenues in 2009, increased 20.7% to US$2,018.2 million in 2010 from US$1,672.0 million in 2009. International passenger traffic (as measured in RPKs) increased 11.3%, while passenger capacity (as measured in ASKs) increased 10.4% in 2010, resulting in an improvement in load factor from 77.8% in 2009 to 78.5% in 2010. Total international passenger yield (based on RPKs) increased 8.7% to US¢8.7 in 2010 from US¢8.0 in 2009, driven by strong world economy recovery.

Cargo revenues increased 43.0%, to US$1,280.7 million in 2010 from US$895.6 million in 2009, mainly driven by a 24.8% increase in yields (US¢41.6 in 2010 from US¢35.7 in 2009), and coupled with a 23.5% increase in traffic. In 2010, cargo traffic was driven by a strong recovery and growth in the global cargo markets, as well as better revenue management practices capacity increased 20.5% during 2010. As a consequence, load factors increased from 68.4% in 2009 to 70.1% in 2010. Revenues per ATK also increased 18.7% as compared to 2009.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in 2010 totaled US$3,012.7 million, representing a 19.4% increase as compared to cost of sales of US$2,522.8 million in 2009. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales decreased from 71.7% in 2009 to 68.6% in 2010, as a result of higher traffic and yields compared to 2009.

The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher aircraft fuel expenses, which totaled US$1,161.9 million in 2010, a 21.1% increase as compared to aircraft fuel expenses of US$959.6 million in 2009. Fuel expenses increased 21.1% mainly due to a 26.4% increase in unhedged jet fuel prices (9.4% in the hedged price), coupled with a 10.7% increase in consumption. However, the Company recognized a US$1.0 million fuel hedge gain, compared to a US$128.7 million fuel hedge loss in 2009.

In addition, the Company recorded higher ACMI leases in the cargo business due to the expansion in the cargo business. Depreciation expenses increased mainly due to the incorporation of one new Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft in February 2010 and eight new Airbus A320 aircraft between July and December 2010. For further information on depreciation policies, please refer to “Critical Accounting Policies” below, and Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Aircraft maintenance expenses decreased by 0.3%, from US$121.0 million in 2009 to US$120.6 million in 2010, due to lower maintenance payments to third parties, which offset the effects of a larger fleet. Aircraft rental expenses increased mainly due to an increase in the average rental cost due to the delivery of two leased Boeing 777 freighters in April and May 2009, two leased Airbus A320s in September 2010 and two leased Boeing 767-300 freighters in November and December 2010. Wages and benefits expenses increased mainly because of a higher average headcount, which is in-line with the Company’s operational expansion, an appreciation of Latin American currencies, and an increase in variable bonus payments, which were in line with higher profits obtained in 2010.

Passenger service expenses totaled US$114.2 million in 2010 compared to US$92.8 million in 2009. This represented a 23.1% increase that was driven by a 12.3% increase in the number of passengers transported during the year, as well as higher compensation paid to passengers during this period. 3,782.2 million.

As a result of the above, gross margin increased 38.3% from US$996.4 millionconsolidation, certain TAM assets and liabilities which were accounted for at historical values were incorporated into the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value, as required by applicable accounting principles. Applicable accountings standards permit a one year measurement period, requiring fair value adjustments completed during that period to be adjusted against previously reported goodwill. As of June 30, 2013, the purchase price allocation has been completed. Previously reported goodwill has been adjusted to reflect fair value changes in 2009this one year period. Goodwill as of June 30, 2013 amounts to US$1,377.8 million in 2010. 3,890.2 million.

Other operating income decreased by 2.6% to US$132.8 million in 2010 from US$136.4 million in 2009, mainly because of a decrease in tour and travel services and lower revenues from aircraft leases, which were partially offset by higher revenues from storage and custom services to third parties. Interest income decreased by 18.1% to US$14.9 million in 2010 from US$18.2 million in 2009, mainly due to lower average interest rates.

Distribution costs increased 17.3% from US$327.0 million in 2009 to US$383.5 million in 2010. This increase was caused by higher overall commissions to agents (related to both passenger and cargo sales), which increased by 20.5% to US$173.4 million in 2010 from US$143.9 million in 2009, and by a 24.8% increase in traffic revenues (for both passenger and cargo revenues); this increase was partially offset by a 0.1 point reduction in the average commission paid. This reduction was mainly related to a decrease in the commission rate paid to agents in the passenger business.

Administrative expenses increased 23.1% from US$269.6 million in 2009 to US$331.8 million in 2010 dueThe main adjustments to the higher wagesbalance sheet accounts of administrative personnel and higher asset (non aircraft) depreciation, as a result of additions in 2009 and 2010.

Other operating expenses increased 71.5% from US$100.5 million in 2009 to US$172.4 million in 2010, as a result of higher sales costs, advertising and marketing expenses and costs related to tours and travel services.

Financial costs (from non-financial activities) increased by 1.4% to US$155.3 million in 2010 from US$153.1 million in 2009 due to higher debt related to fleet financing, but was partially offset by lower average interest rates.

Exchange rate differences increased from an expense of US$11.2 million in 2009 to a gain of US$13.8 million in 2010 as a result of a recognized US$5.4 million gain that mainly stemmed from foreign exchange variations during the period; part of the exchange gain was a result of remittances from LAN’s operations in Venezuela. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Risk of Variation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates”, for a discussion of LAN’s hedging program for currency fluctuations. During 2009 the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency impacted the Company’s operations in that country and the Company recognized a US$28.0 million charge related to it.

On December 31, 2010, the Company held US$36.0 million in assets located in Venezuela, of which over 74.0% constituted cash equivalents. On a consolidated basis, the Company’s assets related to its operations in Venezuela represented less than 0.5% of the total assets of the Company. For the year 2010, operating revenues of the Venezuelan regional office represented 1.7% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. The Company’s operations in Venezuela are carried out through an agency that, from an accounting perspective, is considered an extension of the Company. Therefore, the functional currency is the US dollar and hyperinflationary accounting is not required.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a US$14.1 million gain (pre-tax) due to the reversal of a portion of the provision related to the investigation in the cargo business carried out by the European Commission. This wasTAM as a result of the fine announced in November 2010, which was lower thanconsolidation with LATAM Airlines Group were related to the amount provided for. This reversal is recorded in Other gains/(losses). (See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Businessfair values of the Company—Cargo Operations—Cargo-Related Investigations”).

Income tax expenses increased by 82.2%, amounting to US$81.1 million in 2010 as compared to US$44.5 million in 2009. This increase was primarilyfollowing: (i) airport slots (Congonhas, JFK and Heathrow airports); (ii) the result of an 80.9% increase in pre-tax income, coupledMultiplus loyalty program; (iii) fleet; and (iv) other provisions, including legal proceedings with a 0.1% increaseprobability of loss below 50%, which are not accounted for under the normal course of business but must be accounted for under a business combination, according to applicable accounting standards (IFRS 3). In addition, during the first half of 2013, the Company identified and corrected certain errors in the average tax rate (currently 16.2%) in 2010. For more information, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Taxes” below and Note 19 to our auditedfinancial statements of TAM, which are not material for LATAM.

Retrospective revision of the consolidated financial statements.

statements for fiscal year 2012

As required by IFRS, the consolidated financial statements of LATAM for 2012 have been retrospectively revised to reflect the following:

(i)The fair value adjustments mentioned above, which resulted in an increase in the Company’s assets (other than goodwill) of US$ 485 million as of December 31, 2012 and an increase of US$ 1,039 million in liabilities. This resulted in US$ 19 million of lower net income for 2012.

(ii)Error corrections in TAM’s financial statements as of 2012 in a total amount of US$599 million as of December 2012, of which US$416 million are related to revenues and deferred revenues, and US$183 million are related to taxes and deferred taxes. This adjustment resulted in US$11 million of lower net income for LATAM in 2012. The corrections of these errors have been made retrospectively and are not material to LATAM. Therefore, they do not require LATAM to re-issue its 2012 financial statements.

The abovementioned errors have also been corrected for purposes of the pro forma financial statements for the first half of 2012, prior to the business combination, resulting in US$30 million of less revenue during this period.

U.S. Dollar Presentation and Price-Level Adjustments

General

Foreign currency transactions

 

 (a)Presentation and functional currencies

The items included in the financial statements of each of Lan Airlines and its consolidated subsidiariesLATAM are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of Lan AirlinesLATAM is the U.S. dollar, which is also the currency of presentation of the audited consolidated financial statements of Lan AirlinesLATAM and its subsidiaries.

 

 (b)Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates on the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the liquidation of these transactions and from the translation, at the closing exchange rates, of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, are shown in the consolidated statement of income.

 (c)Group entities

The results and financial position of all the LANLATAM entities (none of which utilizes the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency other than the currency of presentation are translated to the currency of presentation as follows:

 

 (i)Assets and liabilities of each consolidated statement of financial position are translated at the closing exchange rate on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position;

 

 (ii)The revenues and expenses of each results account are translated at monthly average rates; and

 

 (iii)All the resultant exchange differences are shown as a separate component in net equity.

For consolidation purposes, exchange differences arising from the translation of a net investment in foreign entities (or in local entities with a functional currency different to that of the parent), and of loans and other foreign currency instruments designated as hedges for such investments, are recorded within net equity. When the investment is sold, these exchange differences are shown in the consolidated statement of income as part of the loss or gain on the sale.

Adjustments to the goodwill and fair value arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the period-end exchange rate.

Effects of Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar in terms of the pricing of our products, composition of our balance sheet and effects on our results of operations. Most of our revenues (78%(42% in 2011)2013) are in U.S. dollars or in prices pegged to the U.S. dollar and a substantial portion of our expenses (53%(60% in 2011)2013) is denominated in dollars or pegged to the U.S. dollar, particularly fuel costs, landing and over flight fees, aircraft rentals, insurance and aircraft components and supplies. Almost all of our liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars (93%(75% as of December 31, 2011)2013), including bank loans, certain air traffic liabilities, and certain amounts payable to our suppliers. As of December 31, 2011, 91%2013, 48% of our assets were denominated in U.S. dollars, principally aircraft, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other fixed assets. Substantially all of our commitments, including operating leaseslease and purchase commitments for aircraft, are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Although we generally maintain our international passenger fares and cargo prices in U.S. dollars or at prices pegged to the U.S. dollar, we are exposed to foreign exchange losses and gains due to exchange rate fluctuations. We recorded a net foreign exchange profit of US$13.866.7 million in 20102012 and a net foreign exchange loss of US$0.3482.2 million in 2011,2013, which are set forth in our consolidated statement of income under “Exchange rates differences.” For more information, see Notes 2.3(a) and 3133 to our audited consolidated financial statements. The profit incurred in 2010 was mainly related to the appreciation of the Latin American currencies against the U.S. dollar.

IFRS/Non-IFRS Reconciliation

We use “Cost per ATK”ASK-equivalent” and “Cost per ATKASK-equivalent excluding fuel price variations” in analyzing operating costsexpenses on a per unit basis. “ATKs”“ASKs” (available tonseat kilometers) measuremeasures the number of tonsseats of capacity available for the transportation of revenue load (passengers and/or cargo)passengers multiplied by the kilometers flown. “ASK-equivalent” includes capacity for both passenger and cargo equivalent tons multiplied by the kilometers flown. The figure is obtained by adding passenger ASKs and the quotient of cargo ATKs (available ton kilometers) divided by 0.095. To obtain our unit costs, which are used by our management in the analysis of our results, we divide our “total costs” by our total ATKs.ASK-equivalents. “Total costs” are calculated by starting with operating costsexpenses as defined under IFRS and making certain adjustments for interest costs and other revenues. The cost component is further adjusted to obtain “costs per ATKsASK-equivalents excluding fuel price variations,” in order to remove the impact of changes in fuel prices for the year. “Cost per ATK”ASK-equivalent” and “Cost per ATKASK-equivalent excluding fuel price variations” do not have a standardized meaning, and as such may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. These metrics should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating costsexpenses or as indicators of performance or cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.

The table below reconciles our operating costs asexpenses (as defined by IFRSIFRS) for 2013, 2012 and 2011 to costs used in the calculation of “Cost per ATK”ASK-equivalent” and “Cost per ATKASK-equivalent excluding fuel price variations.”variations” for such periods. Figures for 2012 (pro forma) have been presented on a pro forma basis to include the operating data of TAM for all of 2012. Figures for LATAM 2012 (actual) correspond to LATAM’s consolidated audited financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2012, including TAM’s consolidated costs from June 23, 2012 and TAM’s third and fourth quarter operating statistics. Figures for LAN 2011 (actual) represent LAN’s historical operating expenses and statistics and do not include any costs or statistics from TAM.

In addition, weLATAM continues to use revenues per ASK or ATK, as applicable, in analyzing revenues on a per unit basis.basis, which is consistent with how LAN analyzed its revenues before the merger. To obtain our unit revenues, which are used by our management in the analysis of our results, we divide our passenger revenues by our total ASKs and our cargo revenues by our total ATKs. We use our revenues as defined under IFRS for purposes of the calculation of this metric. Revenues per ASK or ATK, as the case may be, do not have a standardized meaning, and as such may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. It is not an IFRS based measure of performance or liquidity. This metric should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues or as indicators of performance or cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

The table below shows the calculation of our revenues per ASK or ATK, as applicable, in each of the periods indicated:indicated.

Seasonality

Our operating revenues are substantially dependent on overall passenger and cargo traffic volume, which is subject to seasonal and other changes in traffic patterns. Our passenger revenues are generally higher in the first and fourth quarters of each year, during the southern hemisphere’s (Chile and Argentina) spring and summer, thansummer. In the Brazilian passenger air transportation market, there is always a higher demand for air transportation services in the second and third quarters. Since Peru, Ecuador and Colombia havehalf of the year, leaving the second quarter as the weakest one for the Company. However, the seasonality is partially mitigated by the fact of LATAM having higher than market average concentration of business travel (which is less sensitive to seasonality). Additionally, the expansion of the Company in other countries with different seasonal patterns the expansion into those markets has led to stronger passenger revenues in the second and third quarters, therefore moderatingalso moderated the overall seasonality of ourthe passenger business. Our cargo revenues generally are higher in the fourth quarter, which correspond to the harvest season in the southern hemisphere.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires our management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and judgments to develop amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. We strive to maintain a process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the estimates that are required to prepare our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the consistent application of these policies enables us and our subsidiaries to provide readers of the financial statements with more useful and reliable information about our operating results and financial condition.

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different outcomes under different assumptions and conditions. For a discussion on these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The following are the accounting policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

Accounting estimates and judgments

The Company has used estimates to value and book some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments; these basically refer to:

 

The evaluation of possible impairment loss for certain assets.

 

The useful life and residual value of fixed assets and intangible assets.

 

The criteria employed in the valuation of certain assets.

 

Air tickets sold that are not actually used.

 

The calculation of deferred income at the period-end corresponding to the valuation of kilometers or points credited to holders of the LANPASS loyalty cardprograms which have not yet been used.

 

The need for provisioning and where required the determination of their values.

 

The recoverability of deferred tax assets.

These estimates are made on the basis of the best information available on the matters analyzed.

In any case, it is possible that events will require them to be modified in the future, in which case the effects would be accounted for prospectively.

Additionally, the management has applied judgment in determining that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has control over TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries for accounting purposes and therefore has consolidated their financial statements. The above on the basis that LATAM issued their ordinary shares in exchange for all of the outstanding common and preferred shares of TAM (except those shareholders of TAM who did not accept exchange and which were subject of the squeeze-out described in Note 18.2.a), entitling LATAM to substantially all of the economic benefits that will be generated by the LATAM Group and also, consequently, exposing it to substantially all the risks incidental to the operations of TAM. This exchange aligns the economic interests of LATAM and all of its shareholders, including the TAM controlling shareholders, ensuring that the shareholders and directors of TAM will have no incentive to exercise their rights in a manner that is beneficial to TAM but detrimental to LATAM. Further, all significant actions required for the operation of the airlines require the affirmative vote of both LATAM and the TAM controlling shareholders.

In addition, LATAM is in the process of integrating the operations with TAM, and both entities will be operated as a single company. Within this, most critical airline activities will be managed in Brazil under the TAM CEO and globally by the LATAM CEO, who will be in charge of the overall operation of the LATAM Group and who will report to the LATAM board. Further, the LATAM CEO will evaluate the performance of the LATAM Group executives and, together with the LATAM board, determine compensation. Although there are restrictions on voting interests that currently may be held by foreign investors under Brazilian law, LATAM believes that the economic substance of these arrangements satisfies the requirements established by the applicable accounting standards and that consolidation by LATAM of TAM’s operations is appropriate.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues include the fair value of the proceeds received or to be received on sales of goods and rendering services in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Revenues are shown net of refunds, rebates and discounts.

(a) Rendering of services

 

 a.1Passenger and cargo transport

We recognize passenger and cargo revenues either when the transportation service is provided or when we determine that the tickets will not be used or refunded, which, in the case of passenger revenues, reduces the air traffic liability. We estimate revenue breakage based on historical breakage experience that takes into account the aging of tickets that will not be used or refunded. Commissions payable related to such unearned earnings are shown net of the air traffic liability. Other revenues, including aircraft leases, courier, logistic and ground services, duty free sales, and storage and customs brokering, are recognized when services are provided.

The amount of passenger ticket sales not yet recognized as revenue is reflected as an air traffic liability. Air traffic liability includes estimates of the amount of future refunds and exchanges, net of forfeitures for all unused tickets once the flight date has passed. We perform periodic evaluations of this estimated liability based on actual results. Any adjustments, which can be significant, are included in the results of operations for the periods in which the evaluations are completed. These adjustments relate primarily to the differences between our estimation of certain revenue transactions and the related sales price, as well as refunds, exchanges and other items for which final settlement occurs in periods subsequent to the sale of the related tickets at amounts other than the original sales price.

Actual events and circumstances may differ from historical fare sale activity and customer travel patterns and can result in refunds, exchanges or forfeited tickets differing significantly from estimates. We evaluate our estimates periodically. If actual refunds, exchanges or forfeitures fall outside of our estimated ranges, we review our estimates and assumptions and adjust air traffic liability and passenger revenues as necessary. As with any estimates, actual results may vary from estimated amounts.

 

 a.2Frequent flyer program

The Company has a frequent flyer program for LATAM passengers called LANPASS whoseand a frequent flyer program for TAM passengers called TAM Fidelidade. Customers can also earn points through Multiplus, a subsidiary of TAM, which permits the accrual of points for many products and services (not just airline flights) and had more than 200 partner establishments, including the TAM Fidelidade program, as of December 31, 2013.

Both frequent flyer programs’ objective is customer loyalty through the delivery of LANPASS kilometers or Multiplus points every time that members of the program fly with the Company or its alliance partners, use the services of entities registered with the program or make purchases with an associated credit card. The kilometerskilometers/points earned can be exchanged for flights tickets or other services of associated entities.

The consolidated financial statements include LANPASS liabilities for this concept (deferred income), according to the estimate of the valuation established for the kilometers accumulated pending use at that date, in accordance with IFRIC 13: “Customer loyalty programs”.programs.” Points earned from TAM Fidelidade members are bought from Multiplus and seats redeemed are sold to Multiplus. Multiplus manages the points liabilities. Revenue from both programs are recognized once the purchased tickets are flown.

LANPASS Kilometers expire if they are not utilized over a period of three years. This period is renewable if the passenger takes a flight or meets specific requirements regarding the accumulation of kilometers through one of the partners of the program. Multiplus Points expire if they are not utilized over a period of two years, this period is not renewable.

Property, Plant and Equipment

TheLATAM’s land of Lan Airlines and Subsidiaries is recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss.

The rest of the property, plant and equipment are shown, initially and subsequently, at their historic cost less the corresponding depreciation and any impairment loss, except for certain land and minor equipment that are reassessed at first adoption, according to IFRS.loss.

The amount of advance payments to aircraft manufacturers are capitalized by the Company under “Construction in progress” until receipt of aircraft.

Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements and extensions) are included in the value of the initial asset or shown as a separate asset only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the elements of property,Property, plant and equipment are going to flow to the Company and the cost of suchthe element can be determined reliably. The value of the component replaced is written-off in the books.books at the time of replacement. The rest of the repairs and maintenance are charged to the result of the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives; except in the case of certain technical components, which are depreciated on the basis of cycles and hours flown.

The residual value and useful life of assets is revised, and adjusted if necessary, once a year.

When the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, its value is reduced immediately to its recoverable amount. For more information, see Note 2.8 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Losses and gains on the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the proceeds obtained with the book value and are included in the consolidated statement of income.

Maintenance

The costs incurred for scheduled majorheavy maintenance of the aircraft’s fuselage and engines are capitalized and depreciated until the next maintenance. The depreciation rate is determined on technical grounds, according to itsthe use of the aircraft expressed based onin terms of cycles and flight hours. Unscheduled maintenances

In case of on balance sheet aircraft, these maintenance costs are capitalized as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of off balance sheet aircraft maintenance costs are periodically provided for and recognized through profit and loss as “Cost of sales”.

The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to incomeresults as incurred.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivatives are booked initially at fair value on the date the derivative contracts are signed and later they continue to be valued at their fair value. The method for booking the resultant loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item hedged.

The Company designates certain derivatives as:

 

 (a)Hedge of the fair value of recognized assets (“fair value hedge”);

 

 (b)Hedge of a identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly probable transaction (“cash-flow hedge”); or

 

 (c)Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The Company documents, at the inception of each transaction, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its objectives for managing risk and the strategy for carrying out various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the beginning and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the items being hedged.

The total fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as an otherOther non-current financial asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedging instrument is over 12 months, and as an otherOther current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the hedging instrument is less than 12 months. Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as other financial assets or liabilities, current in the case that their remaining maturity is less than 12 months and non-current in the case that it is more than 12 months.

(a) Fair value hedges

(a)Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are shown in the consolidated statement of income, together with any change in the fair value of the asset or liability hedged that is attributable to the risk being hedged.

(b) Cash flow hedges

(b)Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in net equity. The loss or gain relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income under “Other gains (losses).” Amounts deferred in equity are reclassified to profit and loss when the related hedged item impacts profit and loss.

In the case of variable interest-rate hedges, this means that the amounts recognized in equity are reclassified to results within financial cost at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.

For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in equity are reclassified to results as Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.

For foreign currency hedges, the amounts shown in equity are reclassified to results to the extent that the deferred revenue resulting from the use of points, are recognized as income.

When hedging instruments mature or are sold or when they do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedges, any gain or loss accumulated in net equity until that moment remains in equity and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized. When it is expected that the hedged transaction is no longer going to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in net equity is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income as “Other gains (losses).”

(c) Derivatives not booked as a hedge

Certain derivatives are not booked as a hedge. The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that is not booked as a hedge are shown immediately in the consolidated statement of income, in “Other gains (losses).”

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are calculated according to the balance-sheet method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their book values. However, if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of a liability or an asset in a transaction different from a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect the accounting result or the tax gain or loss, they are not booked. The deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws), that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period, and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is discharged.

Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax earnings with which to compensate the temporary differences.

Deferred incomeThe Company does not record deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where timing ofprovided that the reversal ofopportunity to reverse the temporary differences is controlled by the groupCompany and it is probable that the temporary differencedifferences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax on temporary differences arising on investments in associates is immaterial.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

OurLATAM cash and cash equivalents totaled US$1,984.9 million as of December 31, 2013, US$650.3 million as of December 31, 2012 and US$374.4 million as of December 31, 2011,2011. Additionally, the Company had short term marketable securities totaling US$631.1576.7 million as of December 31, 2010 and2013, US$731.5470.1 million as of December 31, 2009. 2012 and US$98.1 million as of December 31, 2011. In the aggregate, LATAM’s cash and marketable securities totaled US$2,561.6 million as of December 31, 2013, US$1,120.3 million as of December 31, 2012 and US$472.5 million as of December 31, 2011.

The decreaseUS$1,441.3 million increase in our cash and cash equivalentsmarketable securities from 20102012 to 20112013 was mainly due to higher investment activities related toLATAM’s Capital Increase of US$784.0 million in 2013 representing a higher number83.4% of aircraft incorporationsthe total Capital Increase completed on January 10, 2014 (See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Business Strategy—Improve our Capital Structure.”) and the Securitization of airline ticket credit card voucher receivables for US$450 million. In January 2014, LATAM received an additional US$ 156.5 million upon completion of the Capital Increase. Changes in our fleet. net cash generated from operating, investing and financing activities are described below.

In addition to the cash and marketable securities LATAM has access to short term credit lines. As of December 31, 2013, LATAM had working capital uncommitted credit facilities for a total amount of US$ 1.9 billion, of which $1,091 million was drawn as of December 31, 2013, and committed credit lines with a total available amount of US$185 million, of which $0 was drawn as of December 31, 2013.

Net cash generated from operating activities

Cash from operations derivesis derived primarily from providing air passenger and cargo transportation to customers. Operating cash outflows are primarily related to the recurring expenses of airline operations.operations, including fuel consumption. Net cash inflows from operating activities werein 2013 increase $204.9 million, or 17.0%, from US$762.61,203.8 million in 2012, primarily due to an improvement in the operational margin and the turnaround of the Brazilian domestic market, mainly reflected in a stronger fourth quarter operational result. Net cash generated from LATAM’s operating activities in 2012 increased US$436.1 million from US$767.7 million in 2011 to US$1,125.31,203.8 million in 20102012, mainly due to the increase in operations following the combination of LAN and US$845.8 million in 2009. The main reasons for the 32.2% decrease in 2011 from 2010 in netTAM on June 22, 2012. In addition, cash flows from operating activitiesoperations in 2011 were the 37.2% increase in fuel prices during the period, as well as an increase in wages and benefitsreduced by US$84.0 million as a result of the consolidation as of January 2011 of Colombian airline Aires, the ongoing effects of the volcanic ash cloud on domestic operations in Chile and Argentina and the appreciation of local currencies in Latin America. Fuel prices and exchange rate fluctuations may continue to impact LAN’s operating cash flow generation in the future. Nevertheless, LAN continued to show solid traffic growth and yield increases in both passenger and cargo operations. The main reasons for the 33.0% increase in 2010 from 2009 in net cash flows from operating activities were the increase in passenger and cargo revenues as a result of traffic growth and yield increases, which outpaced the growth in operating costs and expenses.

In recent years, we have been able to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements through cash from our operations. Given the nature of our business, the Company generally benefits from having a positive working capital, i.e. actual cash flow movement (cash inflows).

Our working capital position at year-end 2011, and in previous year-ends, was negative. However, the Company has consistently generated cash inflows as a result of changes in working capital since current liabilities increased more than current assets during those periods. This occurs mainly as a result of advance ticket sales (i.e., services that are paid in advance before they are delivered and suppliers are paid), which are recognized as deferred revenues and constitute a distinctive characteristic of accounting of passenger revenue in the airline industry.

During 2011, the Company generated cash for US$114.0 million, as compared with US$326.7 million in 2010 and US$3.4 million in 2009, benefiting from an increase in its negative working capital position. We expect to continue generating positive working capital movements through our operations. However, we cannot predict whether current trends and conditions will continue, or how the effects of competition or other factors that are beyond our control could affect us.fine payments.

As of December 31, 2011, the cash pledged to financial institutions relating to margin calls on derivative positions was US$117.2 million.

Net cash flows used in investing activities was US$1,238.3 million in 2011, US$1,100.4 million in 2010 and US$589.7 million in 2009. Cash capital expenditures were US$1,367.0 million in 2011, US$1,029.2 million in 2010 and US$538.6 million in 2009. The increase in capital expenditures in 2011 was due to the acquisition of higher number of aircraft and the required investments related to them.

Our capital expenditures for 2011 were mainly composed of:

cash contributions for pre-delivery deposits related to aircraft with deliveries in 2011, 2012 and 2013;

the acquisition of 13 Airbus A320 Passenger aircraft and three Boeing B767-300 Passenger aircraft; and

the acquisition of aircraft spare parts and spare engines.

Our capital expenditures for 2010 were mainly composed of:

cash contributions for pre-delivery deposits related to aircraft with deliveries in 2010, 2011 and 2012;

the acquisition of eight Airbus A320 Passenger aircraft and one Boeing B767-300 Passenger aircraft; and

the acquisition of aircraft spare parts and spare engines.

Our capital expenditures for 2009 were mainly composed of:

cash contributions for pre-delivery deposits related to aircraft with deliveries in 2009, 2010 and 2011;

the acquisition of three Airbus A319 Passenger aircraft and three Boeing B767-300 Passenger aircraft; and

the acquisition of aircraft spare parts and spare engines.

For more information about current and future capital expenditures, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures”. The difference between netNet cash used in investing activities in 2013 decreased US$647.6 million from US$1,926.4 million in 2012 to US$1,278.8 million in 2013, primarily due to LATAM’s capital increase, the decrease in capital expenditure and cash capital expenditures during 2011, relates mainlythe return of PDP payments relating to the investmentaircraft deliveries.

Net cash inflowsused in investing activities in 2012 increased US$685.3 million from US$1,241.1 million in 2011 to US$1,926.4 million in 2012, primarily due to aircraft purchases which were partially offset by the inclusion of US$264.0 million of cash on the balance sheet of TAM. Aircraft purchases in 2012 included 14 narrow body aircraft and 18 wide body aircraft for a total of US$2,535 million.

Net cash generated from financing activities

Net cash generated from financing activities wereincreased by US$219.1200.6 million from US$1,005.2 million to US$1,205.8million in 2013, primarily due to increase long term debt related to new aircraft purchases, but partially offset by the voluntary prepayment of the BRL 400 million local Brazilian bonds.

Net cash generated from financing activities increased by US$788.3 million from US$216.9 million to US$1,005.2 million in 2011, compared2012, primarily due to increase long term debt related to new aircraft purchases. Of these 2012 aircraft purchases, approximately 85% of the net cash outflowsaircraft prices were financed.

Sources of financing

Long term

We typically finance our fleet with long-term loans covering between 80% and 100% of the net purchase price. We also finance our aircraft under sale and leaseback arrangements in order to add flexibility to our fleet. For more information regarding to the fleet financing, please refer to “—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.”

From time to time in the past, we have considered, and may consider in the future, other forms of financing including securitization of ticket receivables or the securitization of fleet and engines or the issuance of additional debt or equity securities.

During 2013, LATAM completed two important debt structuring transactions. On November 7, 2013, LATAM issued a 7-year securitized bond, securitizing the future flow of receivables from certain foreign institutions operating credit card systems in the United States and Canada in the amount of US$124.7450 million, at an interest rate of 6.0% per annum. Later, on December 19th, LATAM completed the refinancing of five B767 aircrafts, including three passengers and two freighters B767, for a total amount of US$95.3 million.

Short term

We have generally been able to arrange for short-term loans with local Chilean and international banks when we have needed to finance working capital expenditures or increase our liquidity. As of December 31, 2013, we maintained US$629 million in 2010short-term credit lines with both local and foreign banks, including US$99.2185 million of cash inflows in 2009. Such variance was duecommitted credit lines.

We have diversified our sources of short term financing to new issuance of shares, inflows frominclude the following: PAE (“Prestamos a Exportadores”), which are foreign currency short term loans granted to exporting parties in Chile mainly to finance working capital; FINIMPS (“Financiamento à Importação”), which are short term loans granted to importers in Brazil; Credit card advancements, a financial alternative where the bank advances to the Company the cash inflows related to the credit card sales on installments with a discount factor; and the reductionadvance purchases by Multiplus of kilometers for TAM flights, in interest payments duean amount at any time up to changes in loans structures and floating rate debt. In 2011, our main usesa maximum of cash were US$883.4 million for loan payments, US$192.1 million for dividends payments and US$119.1 million for interest payments. In 2010, our main uses of cash were US$554.5 million for loan payments, US$155.4 million for dividends payments and US$128.7 million for interest payments. In 2009, our main uses of cash were US$261.7 million for loan payments, US$139.9 million for dividend payments and US$129.3 million for interest payments.R$500 million.

Our cash and cash equivalents including investment funds and domestic and foreign bonds are mainly held in U.S. dollars or U.S. dollar-based instruments. A fraction (around 22%) of our cash position is held in currencies other than U.S. dollars to fulfill short-term obligations denominated in local currencies.

Capital Expendituresexpenditures

Our capital expenditures are related to the acquisition of aircraft, aircraft-related equipment, IT equipment, support infrastructure and the funding of pre-delivery deposits. OurLATAM’s capital expenditures totaled US$1,381.8 million in 2013, US$2,389.4 million in 2012 and US$1,367.0 million in 2011, US$1,029.2 million in 2010 and US$538.6 million in 2009. The increase in capital expenditure is explained by a higher number2011. See “—Sources of aircraft acquired during 2011.financing” above.

The expenditures set out in the table above reflect payments for purchases and other fleet-related items, as well as for information technology and other items. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Fleet”. Principally, weFleet.” We have projected our capital expenditures based on:

the delivery of 12 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft in 2012, 14 in 2013, 17 in 2014, 15 in 2015, 12 in 2016, 10 in 2017 and 10 in 2018;

the delivery of nine Boeing B767-300 Passenger aircraft in 2012 and four in 2013;

the delivery of two Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft in 2012;

the delivery of two Boeing 787-8 passenger aircraft in 2012, three in 2013 and seventeen between 2014 and 2018;

the delivery of four Boeing 787-9 passenger aircraft in 2015;

the implementation of a new host system as a part of a three year capital expenditure plan, totaling approximately US$70 million; and

Costs related to the startup of new operations in the region under LAN’s standards.

We expect that cash generated from operations, short-term credit-lines and long-term syndicated loans with various banks will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements in the foreseeable future, although events that materially affect our operating results could also have a negative impact on our liquidity.anticipated deliveries of aircraft fleet. See “—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations” below for a description of our purchase obligations, borrowings and other contractual commitments as of December 31, 2013.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

We believe that the LAN brandLATAM has strong value and it is synonymous of superior service in the Latin American and International airline industry. In March 2004, we launched our new “LAN” brand to bring together, under one strong international name, all our local brands such as “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” and “LAN Ecuador.” We developed our new brand and corporate image after an extensive process supported by a leading global branding agency.

We have registered the trademarks “LAN”,“LAN,” “LAN Chile,” “LAN Peru,” “LAN Argentina” and “LAN Ecuador” with the trademark office in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador, respectively. We license certain brands, logos and trade dress under the alliance agreement withoneworldoneworld® related to ourLAN’s alliance. WeAs long as LAN is a member ofoneworld®, it will have the right to continue to useoneworld® current logos on our aircraft while LANits aircraft.

TAM holds or has filed registration applications for 229 trademarks before theInstituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial, or INPI, the body with jurisdiction for registering trademarks and patents in Brazil, and 74 trademarks before the bodies with jurisdiction for registering trademarks in other countries in which TAM operates. Currently, TAM is a membernot aware of such alliance.any third-party challenges to these applications.

D. Trend Information

During 2012,2014, we expect to continue seeingto experience positive trends in boththe passenger and cargo operations, where we see significant growth opportunities in domestic and international markets in Latin America. Regarding fuelAmerica, and believe that the positive integration of LAN’s and TAM’s operations will allow us to start achieving the estimated synergies of the combination. Fuel prices they have remained relatively stable.stable thus far in 2014. Nevertheless, geopolitical instability, which affects the supply of fuel, is a potential risk since fuel supply is key to our business, as it represents approximately 30%35% of our operating costs.expenses. We can address increases in fuel prices through our fuel-hedging policy and the use of pass-through mechanisms for both the passenger and cargo operations. However, these strategies are never completely effective and our operating margins are negatively impacted by a higher fuel price scenario. Specifically, we expect to face:

 

slight revenue growth in the passenger operations, causedresulting from a rationalization of passenger capacity in the domestic Brazil market and the international long haul operations, partially offset by capacity expansion inline withstill strong traffic growth.growth in the operations in our Spanish speaking countries. During January and February 2012,2014, passenger traffic increased 13.6%decreased by 1.1% compared withto the same period in 2011,2013, driven mainly by a decrease of 3.0% in traffic in international routes and the continued rationalization in the domestic Brazil market, where traffic decreased by 1.9% in the period. This trend was partially offset by solid growth onin domestic operations whichin Chile, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia, where traffic increased 19.1%7.1% as compared to 2011, as well as 10.9% growththe same period in international operations. During such2013. In the Brazilian domestic market, capacity decreased by 5.0% during the two month period total passenger capacity increased 12.8%,ended February, leading to a 0.6load factor of 83.0%, an increase of 2.6 percentage points as compared to the same period in 2013. In our international operations, capacity strongly decreased by 7.2% in the period, resulting in a strong increase of 3.6 percentage points in load factors, from 82.5%79.8% to 83.1%83.4%. This capacity rationalization has been focused on unprofitable routes, mainly routes from Rio de Janeiro to Europe. Capacity increases have mainly been focused mainly on domestic routes within Chile, regional routes withinour Spanish speaking countries. In these markets, capacity grew by 5.5% in January and February 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, and traffic continued to increase at a strong pace.

cargo operations continue to be adversely affected by the challenging macroeconomic environment, which we expect to be partially compensated by solid export volumes from Latin America and long-haul routes to the United States. This expansion was partially offset by decreased capacity on long haul routes to Europe as a result of itinerary changes implemented in early 2011;States and

growth in the cargo operations is expected to be driven by continued increase in imports to Latin America, mainly to Brazil, and continued recovery of export volumes, partly driven by further recovery of salmon exports. Europe. During January and February 2012,2014, cargo demand,traffic, as measured in RTKs, slightly increased 0.7%by 0.1%, while capacity increaseddecreased by 3.1%. In turn,5.2% as compared to the same period in 2013. As a consequence, the cargo load factor decreased 1.5increased by 3.0 percentage points to 65.3%.57.1% as compared to the same period in 2013. Despite the challenging scenario in the cargo business, we have been able to adjust our cargo freighter capacity and focus in the optimization of the belly capacity to better respond to the current situation.

In 2012,2014, we expect to continue expanding and diversifying our revenue base through the expansion of our network, namely, by further developing our existing routes, adding new destinations, developing new alliances, and entering new markets. During 2012,2014, we expect to receive 1214 Airbus A320 familyA320-Family aircraft to operate domestic and regional routes, as well as nine5 additional wide-body passenger aircraft (Models Boeing 767-300 and the first two Boeing 787-8 DreamlinersDreamliners) for long-haul routes. We also expect the salereturn of five Airbus A3185 leased Boeing 737 aircraft, the return of 3 leased A340 aircraft, and the return of two3 leased Boeing 767-300, while also returning three Boeing 737-700sDash 8-Q400 aircraft operated by LAN Colombia. In addition, we expect to sale 7 Airbus A330 and take phase out some Airbus A320 family aircraft to be replaced by new aircraft of this family. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Fleet.”

In the cargo business, we will continue addingto adjust capacity in response to weakened demand in our core markets.markets and to macroeconomic conditions. We expect the growth of import flows to Latin America to continue,recover, but weaker cargo markets globally might further drive additional competition to South America, especially Brazil. We will continue to monitor the cargo market trends on a weekly basis in order to react as soon as possible if necessary. Also, we plan to continue optimizingto optimize the utilization of the bellies of our passenger aircraft to maximize synergies associated with the Company’s integrated passenger/cargo business model. Cargo capacity growth in 2012 will be driven by the delivery of 2 Boeing 777 freighters in the second half of the year.

We continue to maintain significant flexibility to adjust the physical size of our fleet. Between 20122014 and 2014,2016, we will have 1325 operating lease expirations (including Japanese operating leases) in our wide-body passenger fleet, which can be terminated without cost. Starting in 2010, part of our Boeing 767 fleet has been fully paid, providing us with additional financial flexibility.

We also intend to make our cost structure more efficient and to offset potential decreases in demand with more efficient asset utilization, and we aim to enhance efficiency by streamlining our support processes, reducing commercial costs, continuing to develop our low-cost typedomestic business model for short-haul operations, and further developing the LEAN system in our processes.

WeAlthough we expect more stable fuel prices to remain stable for 2012, butthe remainder of 2014, we will continue usingto use fuel hedging programs and fuel surcharge mechanisms in both the passenger and cargo businesses to help minimize the impact of short-term movements in crude oil prices. For instance, as of March 15, 201231, 2014 we have hedged approximately 58%56% of our estimated fuel requirements for the first quarter 2014, 51% for the second quarter 2012, 27%and 25% for the third quarter and 8% for the fourth quarter. These hedging instruments are comprised of a combination of WTI and jet fuel collars and swaps. SwapsThese hedges are atfor an average price ofbetween US$92.2120 and US$122 dollars per barrel while collars are in average between US$71.6 and US$95.7 dollars per barrel.jet fuel prices.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 20112013 the Company had 128 aircraft (of which 79 are obligations of TAM and 49 are obligations of LAN) and 19 aircraft engines under operating leases. These operating leases provide us with great flexibility to adjust our fleet to any demand volatility that may affect the airline industry and therefore we consider such arrangements to be of great value.value to our strategy and financial performance. The total future lease payments related to our operating leases as of December 31, 2013 were US$1,912.0 million, for all remaining periods through maturity (the latest of which expires in 2020). See “—F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.”

Under the aforementioned operating leases, LANLATAM is responsible for all maintenance, insurance and other costs associated with operating these aircraft. The Company has not made any residual value or similar guarantees to our lessors. There are certain guarantees and indemnities to other unrelated parties that are not reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, but we believe that these will not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

The CompanyLATAM operates 1722 aircraft under a financing structure called Japanese Operating Lease (“JOL”). This method involvestax leasing structures. These methods involve the creation of a special purpose entityentities that acquiresacquire aircraft with bank and third party financing. Under IFRS, these aircraft are shown in the consolidated statement of financial position as part of “Property, plant and equipment” and the corresponding debt is shown as a liability. Of LATAM’s total tax leases, nine TAM tax leases are classified as operating leases for accounting purposes as of December 31, 2013.

As of February 29, 2012December 31, 2013, we are not aware of any event, lawsuit, commitment, trend or uncertainty that may result in, or is reasonably likely to result in, the termination of the operating leases. See Note 33 to our audited consolidated financial statements for a more detailed discussion of these commitments.

F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations and commitments primarily related to the payment of aircraft debt and lease arrangements, principal and interest on our non-aircraft long-term debt (which consists of senior notes, a securitized bond and bank loans), short-term export-import credits and for the future incorporation of aircraft to our fleet. As of December 31, 2011 we have financed the acquisition of 21 Boeing 767-300 Passenger

The Company’s debt that is secured by aircraft and eight Boeing 767-300 Freighters through bond issuances and syndicated loans provided by international financial institutions with the support of partial guarantees issued by the Ex-Im(including Export-Import Bank with repayment profiles of either 12 or 15 years. The Ex-Im Bank guarantees support 85% of the net purchase price and are securedUnited States (“Ex-IM Bank”) Bank guaranteed bonds, Export Credit Agency (“ECA”) guaranteed loans, commercial loans, Japanese Lease with a first priority mortgage on the aircraft in favor of a security trustee on behalf of Ex-Im Bank. The documentation for each loan follows standard market forms for this type of financing, including standard events of default. We have financed the remaining 15% of the net purchase price with commercial loans or with our own funds. Our Ex-Im Bank supported financings are denominated in U.S. dollarscall option (“JALCO”) structures and have quarterly amortizations with a combination of fixed and floating rates linked to U.S. dollar LIBOR. Through the use of interest rate swaps, we

have effectively converted a significant portion of our floating rate debt under these loans into fixed rate debt. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk of Fluctuations in Interest Rates”, for more information. Between 2004 and 2009, LAN sold its ownership in the entities borrowing some of these loans and they were therefore reclassified as financial leases. As of December 31, 2011, the total amount outstanding under our Ex-Im Bank-supported financings totaled US$1,259.2 million.

In April 2010, LAN entered into an agreement to finance the purchase of 15 aircraft partially guaranteed by the European Export Credit Agencies and partially through its own funds (85% and 15%, respectively) where six of them were delivered in 2010 and the remaining nine in 2011. These loans have a 12 years maturity profile and quarterly payments. During the second half of 2010 LAN financed eight additional A320 family aircraft supported by the European Export Credit Agencies and partially through its own funds (85% and 15% respectively).

During the year 2011 LAN continued financing its A320 family aircraft fleet supported by the European Export Credit Agencies totaling 13 additional aircraft. These aircraft were financed 80% by loans guaranteed by the European Export Credit Agencies and the remaining portion (20%) by LAN’s own funds.

In the first quarter 2011, LAN entered into a sale and lease back agreement to finance eight of its A320 family aircraft. Four of them were delivered in the third quarter of 2011 and the remaining four are expected to be delivered between April and July 2012.

Our total debt (including capital leases) as of December 31, 2011,2013, was US$3,788.36,654.0 million. In general, LATAM’s aircraft debt has 12 year repayment profiles. However, some financing structures feature a balloon payment or a purchase option at the end of the lease. By refinancing this balloon payment, the maturity dates of a number of our aircraft financings have been extended for another 3 to 8 years (some up to 20 years in total). Our 2013 aircraft acquisitions are described in further detail below under “—2013 Fleet Acquisitions.”

During December 2013, following LATAM’s strategy to reduce its short term debt and replace it by more structured long term facilities, the company pledged five fully paid B767 aircraft (three passenger and two Cargo aircraft) as collateral for a bank loan for an amount of US$ 95 million compared todue in December 2016.

Regarding non-aircraft debt, LATAM issued a securitized bond for an amount of US$3,259.7 450 million in 2010November 2013 with seven years tenor and two years interest only. This bond is backed by future flows of credit card sales of LATAM Airlines in the United States and Canada. The coupon is 6.0% fixed with quarterly payments.

In addition, TAM has three series of senior notes, totaling US$3,074.41,100 million. TAM’s senior notes comprise:

US$300 million due in 2009. The increase2017, with a fixed coupon of 7.375% payable semi-annually, issued by TAM Capital Inc. and guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by TAM S.A. and TAM Linhas Aereas. These notes are listed on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. On December 18, 2007, TAM completed an exchange offer pursuant to which 99.2% of the holders exchanged these notes for new notes that are registered under the Securities Act and otherwise have identical terms;

US$300 million due in long-term debt during 2011 relates to the incorporation2020, with a fixed coupon of debt-financed9.5% payable semi-annually, issued by TAM Capital 2 Inc. and guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by TAM S.A. and TAM Linhas Aereas; and

US$500 million due in 2021, with a fixed assets. We have minimum lease payment obligations primarily associated with our aircraft leases. Ascoupon of December 31, 2011, we had 49 aircraft under operating leases (23 which correspond to recent acquired Aires total fleet),8.375% payable semi-annually, issued by TAM Capital 3 Inc. and we had minimum lease payment obligations of US$705 million compared to US$700 million as of December 31, 2010guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by TAM S.A. and US$444 million as of December 31, 2009. TAM Linhas Aereas.

The average interest rate of all of our long-termlong term debt (which is our aircraft debt plus the senior notes issued by TAM, the LATAM securitization and bank loans) was 4.5%3.89% as of December 31, 2011. Of2013. Out of the total long-term debt, amount, 82.3%73% accrues interest at a fixed rate (either through a stated fixed interest rate or through our use of interest rate swap agreements) or is subject to interest rate caps.

As of February 29, 2012,December 2013, LATAM had US$1,969.3 million in current debt liabilities. Of this amount, US$896.1 million was short-term debt, which represents 46% of our total current debt liabilities. The remaining US$1,073.1 million is composed mainly of amounts payable within the next 12 months related to aircraft financing.

Various EX-IM Bank loans signed by the Company for the financing of Boeing 767, 777 and 787 aircraft also contain financial covenants and other restrictions, including on the Company’s management in terms of its ownership and disposal of assets. In connection with the financing of spare engines for its Boeing 767, 767 freighter, 777, 777 freighter and 787 fleet, which are also guaranteed by the EX-IM Bank, financial covenants and other customary restrictions also apply. Additionally, with respect to various EX-IM Bank loans signed by Lan Cargo S.A. for the financing of Boeing 767 freighter and 777 freighter aircraft, financial covenants and other restrictions have been established to the Company’s management and its subsidiary Lan Cargo S.A. in terms of shareholder composition and disposal of assets.

As of December 31, 2013, we also had purchase obligations for:totaling US$12.2 billion, with deliveries between 2014 and 2020, as set forth below:

 

Seven Airbus A319, 52 Airbus A320, 10 Airbus A321, 20 Airbus A320 NEO;

Two Boeing 777-200 Freighter aircraft; and

26 Boeing 787 Passenger aircraft;

The purchase obligations amount to a combined total of US$8,645.6 million, with delivery between 2012 and 2018.

LAN has practically no short term debt, while its long term debt is mainly related to777-Freighter, cargo aircraft financing and has 12 to 15 year repayment profiles. As of December 2011, LAN had US$537.3 million in bank loans under current liabilities. Of this amount, US$153.8 million was short term debt, which represents only 6.6% of total current liabilities. The remaining US$383.6 million is composed mainly of long term debt related to aircraft financing, which is payable within the next 12 months.

2013 Fleet Acquisitions

During 2013, LATAM completed the acquisition of the following wide body aircraft:

4 Boeing 767-300ER passenger aircraft, financed through EX-IM Bank guaranteed bond(s)

2 Boeing 787-8 passenger aircraft, financed through sale and leaseback transaction(s)

2 Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft, financed through sale and leaseback transaction(s)

These EX-IM Bank financial obligations have a repayment profile of 12 years, with a guarantee covering 85% of the net purchase price of the aircraft. The EX-IM Bank guarantee is secured with a first priority mortgage on the aircraft in favor of a security trustee on behalf of EX-IM Bank. We have financed the remaining 15% of the net purchase price with our own funds. The first two aircraft were financed by EX-IM supported loans which subsequently were refinanced by EX-IM bank supported bond. The second two aircraft were pre-funded by EX-IM bank supported bonds.

Wide-body aircraft financed through sale and leaseback transactions have lease terms between 4 and 12 years. These leases are denominated in U.S. dollars and have monthly payments.

In June 2013, LATAM entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with a leasing company for 10 A330 aircraft, which were operated by TAM, for a lease term of approximately 3 years following the company’s plan to replace this type of aircraft with new technology aircraft in the next years. Additionally 9 A350-900, 4 B787-9 and 2 B787-8 future deliveries were part of this deal in order to add more flexibility to LATAM’s wide body fleet plan.

During 2013, LATAM completed the acquisition of the following narrow body aircraft:

11 Airbus A320-200 passenger aircraft, financed through ECA guaranteed bond(s)

5 Airbus A320-200 passenger aircraft, financed through sale and leaseback transaction(s)

8 Airbus A320-200 passenger aircraft, financed through commercial loan(s)

1 Airbus 321-231 passenger aircraft, financed through ECA guaranteed bond(s)

Aircraft financed by ECA-guaranteed bonds have an advance rate equal to 80% of the net purchase price of the aircraft for a 12 year period, with the remaining 20% of the aircraft being financed by the Company’s available cash flows. Initially these aircraft were financed through ECA guaranteed loans and later converted to ECA guaranteed bonds.

In the case of the commercial financing for our Airbus 320-200 fleet, there is a senior tranche financing 81.7% of the net purchase price of the aircraft. A first priority mortgage on the aircraft is in favor of a security trustee on behalf of the senior lender. The documentation for each loan follows standard market forms for the type of financing, including standard events of default.

Finally, narrow body aircraft financed through sale and leaseback transactions have lease terms of 8 years. These leases are denominated in U.S. dollars and have monthly payments.

The majority of our wide body and narrow body aircraft financings through EX-IM Bank bonds, ECA guaranteed loans or commercial loans are denominated in U.S. dollars and have quarterly amortizations with a combination of fixed and floating rates linked to USD LIBOR. A small portion of our aircraft debt has monthly or semiannual payments; nevertheless it is also denominated in US Dollars and linked to USD LIBOR. Through the use of interest rate swaps and fixed coupon Bond emissions in the case of Boeing aircraft, we have effectively converted a significant portion of our floating rate debt under these loans into fixed rate debt.

Committees

Board of Directors’ Committee and Audit Committee

Pursuant to Chilean Corporation Law, as amended by Law No. 19,705, LanLATAM Airlines Group must have a board of directors’ committee composed of no less than three board members. LanLATAM Airlines Group has established a three-person committee of its board of directors, which, among other duties, is responsible for:

 

examining the reports of Lan Airlines’LATAM Airlines Group’s external auditors, the balance sheets and other financial statements submitted by Lan Airlines’LATAM Airlines Group’s administrators to the shareholders, and issuing an opinion with respect thereto prior to their presentation to the shareholders for their approval;

 

proposing external auditors and rating agencies to the board of directors;

Under Chilean law we are required, to the extent possible, to appoint a majority of independent directors to the Board of Directors Committee. The corresponding independence requirements are set forth in Chilean Corporation Law as amended by Law No. 19,705, and relate to the relationship between the directors and the shareholders that control a corporation. A director is considered independent when he or she can be elected regardless of the voting of the controlling shareholders. See “Item 16A.16. G. Corporate Governance.”

Pursuant to U.S. regulations, we are required to have an audit committee of at least three board members, which complies with the independence requirements set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Given the similarity in the functions that must be performed by our Board of Directors’ Committee and the audit committee, our Board of Directors’ Committee serves as our Audit Committee for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

As of February 29, 2012,March 30, 2013, all of the members of our Board of Directors’ Committee, which also serves as our Audit Committee, were independent under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. As of February 29, 2012,March 30, 2013, the committee members were Mr. Jorge Awad Mehech, Mr. Gerardo Jofré Miranda, and Mr. Ramón Eblen Kadis.Kadis and Mr. Georges de Bourguignon Arndt. We pay each member of the committee 32 UFs per meeting.

LATAM Board Committees

LATAM’s board of directors also has established four other committees to review, discuss and make recommendations to our board of directors. These include a Strategy Committee, a Leadership Committee, a Finance Committee and a Brand, Product and Frequent Flyer Program Committee. The Strategy Committee focuses on the corporate strategy, current strategic issues and the three-year plans and budgets for the main business units and functional areas and high-level competitive strategy reviews. The Leadership Committee focuses on, among other things, group culture, high-level organizational structure, appointment of the LATAM CEO and

his or her other reports, corporate compensation philosophy, compensation structures and levels for the LATAM CEO and other key executives, succession or contingency planning for the LATAM CEO and performance assessment of the LATAM CEO. The Finance Committee is responsible for financial policies and strategy, capital structure, monitoring policy compliance, tax optimization strategy and the quality and reliability of financial information. Finally, the Brand and Frequent Flyer Program Committee is responsible for brand strategies and brand building initiatives for the corporate and main business unit brands, the main characteristics of products and services for each of the main business units, frequent flyer program strategy and key program features and regular audit of brand performance.

(2)By the end of 2011, approximately 52% of our employees worked in Chile, 46% in other Latin American countries and 2% in the rest of the world.

(2)2012 figures include both LAN and TAM employees which as of December 2012 were 23,099 employees from LAN and 30,500 employees of TAM and its affiliates (including Multiplus).

We have a performance-related pay structure for our administrative, management and flight personnel (such as cabin crew members, airport and sales agents, call-center employees, and some back office employees) including performance-based bonuses and pay scales that reward foreign language proficiency among counter, technical and administrative personnel. During 2011, over 92%2013, 93% of our employees were eligible to receive performance related bonus payments that are linked to personal, team and corporate performance. TAM executives participate in the same program described below. For other employees there is a profit sharing program, which is a variable pay program based on the Company’s financial performance.

We provide our employees with medical insurance complementary to the coverage of the private health system, and also grant other benefits, such as free and discounted airline tickets, to our permanent employees.

A stock option compensation plan is offered to key senior executives. For a detailed description of the stock option compensation plan, please see Note 3638 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.2013.

As required by Chilean law, we make obligatory contributions to the privatized pension fund system on behalf of our employees, but we do not maintain any separate program to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits to these or any other employees. However, the pilots’ collective bargaining agreement includes a clause that permits resignation with severance payment, in case a pilot reaches a certain age and is still providing services to the company. In Brazil TAM offers a private pension plan to its executives and pilots.

Long Term Incentive Compensation Program

On April 5, 2007,December 21, 2011, the extraordinary shareholders meeting approved a capital increase of 22,090,910142,355,882 shares to a total of 341,000,000488,355,791 shares. The same meeting designated 10% of the approved capital increase (2,209,091 shares)4,800,000 shares for purposes of a proposed employee stock option compensation plan. Those 2,209,0914,800,000 shares representrepresented a 0.65%0.98% of the total share capital after such capital increase. The shareholders’ meeting authorized our board of directors to elaborate the compensation plan. For more detailed information, please see Note 36 to our audited consolidated financial statements. This incentive compensation program is aimed at promoting our interests by encouraging senior management employees to contribute substantially to our success, by motivating them with stock options.

The general features of this stock option plan are:

 

 (a)The selection of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that were included by the Board of Directors in the compensation plan was made after a recommendation by our Executive Committee. A stock option agreement was signed with each selected employee for the number of options in connection to the acquisition of our shares to be allocated to such employee.

 

 (b)Until the shares in the option are subscribed, the optionee has no economic or political rights and is not considered in the quorums of shareholders meetings.

 

 (c)The options allocated to each employee are vested in parts, on the following two dates: (1) 30% on October 29, 2009;December 21, 2014; (2) 30% on December 21, 2015; and (2) 70%(3) 40% on October 30, 2011,June 21, 2016, subject to remaining employed by the Company.

 

 (d)The period during which the employee must exercise the options will expire March 31, 2012.December 21, 2016. If the employee has not exercised or waived the options in that period, the employee will be understood, for all purposes, to have waived the options and, accordingly, all rights, powers, promises or offers in relation to the subscription of cash shares in the Company will be deemed extinguished and it will be understood that the employee has irrevocably waived all rights or powers in relation thereto, releasing us from any obligation.

 

 (e)The price payable for these shares if the respective options are exercised is the equivalent to US$14.50,23.19, adjusted by the variation in theConsumer Price Index (“CPI”) published monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor, from the date it was set by our Board of Directors to the date of subscription and payment of the shares. Such price shall be paid in Chilean pesos, at once, in the act of subscription, in cash, by bank check, electronic fund transfer or any other instrument or paper representing money payable on demand, converted at the observed dollar exchange rate published in the Official Gazette on the same date as subscription and payment of the shares. In any case, the per-share price payable by the employee if the option is exercised may be no less than US$14.50.

The selection of the employees that participatedfor participation in the stock option plan was based on, among other criteria that the Board determined at the time of employment with the Company, the position they hold, their importance in earning profits, the responsibility of thetheir position, they hold, the amount of equity managed, the ability to work as a team, and performance, and the potential for development and importance within the Company given their education and experience.

The original terms

As of December 31, 2013, Stock Option Contracts were issued by the Company to 46 employees of the Company and its subsidiaries for a total of 4,497,000 stock options. This stock option plan were most recently amendedexcludes members of the Cueto group, the LATAM Controlling Shareholders, that serve as senior management of the Company. The Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of 1,500,000 shares at the Special Shareholders Meeting held June 11, 2013, among other matters. Those shares will be allocated to compensation plans for the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “2013 Compensation Plan”).

The general features of the 2013 Compensation Plan are:

1. The options allocated to each employee shall be exercisable entirely on October 25, 2011 when a new expirationNovember 15, 2017, provided the employee continues to work for the Company.

2. Employees may exercise such options, after they become exercisable on the aforesaid date, was established.either all at once or in parts. They must subscribe and pay for those shares at once, at the time of subscription, in cash, by check, by bank check, by money transfer or by any other instrument or medium representing cash payable on demand. Partial option exercises cannot be for less than 10% of all options granted to the Employee.

Training3. The period in which employees must exercise options after they become exercisable, as explained in number 3) above, expires June 11, 2018.

The subscription price will be paid in Chilean pesos, converted using the Observed Dollar exchange rate published in the Official Gazette on the same date as subscription and payment of shares.

No options have been granted under the 2013 Compensation Plan.

Training

Some of our employees, such as the flight operations, maintenance and customer ground operations personnel undergo training when they join the Company and throughout their employment with us. For this training, we invested US$12.5 million in 2009, US$13.5 million in 2010 and US$ 20.6 million in 2011. We generally recruit our pilots from theAcademia de Ciencias Aeronáuticas (at theUniversidad Técnica Federico Santa María), aeroclubs and the armed forces. Before being promoted to the position of captain, first officers must have logged at least 4,000 flight hours and received the approval of a special pilots’ committee. We provide ground-school training in Santiago, as well as in Lima and Quito for our Peruvian and Ecuadorian crews. We maintain an agreement with CAE (a Canadian firm specializing in flight simulators and training centers) to develop a pilot training center in Santiago de Chile.Chile and Sao Paulo. This training center includes two Airbus A320 and one Boeing 767 Full Flight simulators plus 1 MFTD A320/340 simulator. Our pilot staff also receives simulator training at sites in the United States and Brazil.States.

Our pilots are rated for only one aircraft type by local aeronautical authorities, and they are not cross-qualified between two or more aircraft types. Chilean regulationsRegulations require pilots to be licensed as commercial pilots for a first officer position and as an airline transport pilot for a captain position, with specific type, function and special ratings for each aircraft to be flown, and to be medically certified as physically fit. Licenses and medical certifications are subject to periodic reevaluation, including flight simulator recurrent training, ground recurrent training, annual emergency procedures training, safety and security training and recent flying experience. Our pilots receive a variety of training, such as lectures, simulations and gaming and computer based training. Cabin crew must have initial and periodic competency fitness training.

Aircraft mechanics and maintenance supervisory personnel must be licensed by the DGAC and other corresponding authorities in other countries in which we operate. We train our technicians (Mechanics, Specialists, Inspectors and Maintenance Supervisors) in all programs required by both local authority (DGAC) and international authorities and aviation associations, such as the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”), IATA rules and regulations, those required by aircraft manufacturers and the training needs that we identify during our annual reviews. The program of study contains initial and continuing training. Initial training is level III ATA SPEC 104 and lasts forty to fifty days depending on the aircraft types and continuing training lasts up to five to six days.

During 2011,2013, we continued training sales and administrative personnel in areas such as service and sales quality. We also continued delivering learning programs to develop leadership skills and others with different methodologies including e-learning.

Labor Relations

We have negotiated longer-term labor contracts with the labor unions in anticipation of their scheduled expirations, which under Chilean law are limited to a period of four years. In general, the expiration of our labor agreements with the several unions that represent our pilots and other personnel are staggered in a way that we avoid being in the position of having to renegotiate contract terms with substantially all of our pilots or other personnel at the same time.

Two collective contracts are in place between Lan Airlines and its pilots, both through the pilots’ union. Non-unionized pilots (less than 5% of the pilot corps), have the same benefits, through direct extension of the union’s collective agreement. These contracts were negotiated in February 2009 and expire between August 2012 and January 2013. Lan Cargo is also a party to an employment agreement with its pilots that expires in November 2012. Finally, Lan Express has two collective agreements with its pilots, both unionized and non-unionized. Those contracts expire between September and December 2012.

Lan Airlines and its affiliates have also entered into collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) with many of their employees:

Lan Airlines renewed the CBAs with its maintenance personnel in June 2008 for a period of four years. On March 30, 2011, the collective bargaining agreement with maintenance personnel working for Lan Express, one of LAN’s Chilean subsidiaries, was renewed until March 31, 2015.

LAN’s CBA with the union representing our administrative personnel has been renewed in Februrary 2012, and expires in December 2015, and the CBA with Lan Express administrative personnel expires in April 2013.

The majority of Lan Argentina’s employees belong to industry-wide unions. Currently, labor relations are stable. In 2005, Lan Argentina hired employees from another airline and agreed to maintain their employment conditions and labor stability during a three-year period. The conditions and labor relations that Lan Argentina had to maintain expired on September 2008, a situation that did not generate any conflict for the company. In December 2009, salary agreements were finalized with the five unions in Lan Argentina. These agreements expired on September 2010 and were renewed in September 2011 for one year. In Lan Peru and Lan Ecuador, meanwhile, the employment relationship is smooth and stable. With respect to Lan Ecuador, there is a collective agreement in force since October 2010 with Pilots (non-union), whose duration is 3 years and 6 months. The only union that exists in this country is the Cabin Crew. It still has no legal authority to negotiate collective agreements with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company maintains a relationship with the union continuing to address issues of common interest and welfare. Lan Peru negotiated in 2010 a collective agreement with the union of technical and mechanical, with a duration of 4 years. The next collective bargaining with the union will occur in June 2012.

We believe we generally maintain good relations with our employees and the unions, and expect to continue to enjoy good relations with our employees and the unions in the future. We also believe that we have built a solid base among our employees that will support and facilitate our growth plans. We can provide no assurance, however, that our employee compensation arrangements may not be subject to change or modification after the expiration of the contracts currently in effect, or that we will not be subject to labor-related disruptions due to strikes, stoppages or walk-outs.

Chile

We have negotiated longer-term labor contracts with the labor unions in anticipation of their scheduled expirations, which under Chilean law are limited to a period of four years. In general, the expiration of our labor agreements with the several unions that represent our pilots and other personnel are staggered in a way that we avoid being in the position of having to renegotiate contract terms with substantially all of our pilots or other personnel at the same time.

During 2013, we renegotiated our collective bargaining agreements with our pilots’ union, which will be effective until 2016. Non-unionized pilots have the same benefits as unionized pilots, through a direct extension of the union’s renegotiated agreement. We also negotiated agreements with pilots working for our subsidiaries, LAN Express and LAN Cargo, which agreements will also be in effect until 2016.

We have also entered into or renegotiated collective bargaining agreements with many of our other employees in Chile during 2012, including general airport, maintenance and supply staff of LATAM; administrative staff of LAN Express; and administration staff of LAN Cargo. Each of these agreements is effective for a four-year term, until 2016.

Ecuador

In Ecuador, two employee associations were formed (mechanical and airport/administration) in 2012. These employee associations maintain relations with the Company, but do not have the right to enter into or negotiate collective bargaining agreements under Ecuador law.

Also in Andes, a union of ground handling employees has been formed and was legally constituted in 2013. As of today there is no process of negotiations or bargainings agreements with this union.

Argentina

In Argentina, the majority of LAN Argentina’s employees belong to industry-wide unions. In December 2013, salary agreements were finalized with the five unions in LAN Argentina. These negotiations are held annually.

Peru

LAN Peru is currently negotiating with its cabin crew and maintenance unions, and it expects to complete these negotiations and finalize a collective bargaining agreement with each union during the second or third quarter of 2014.

Brazil

Under Brazilian law, the validity of collective bargaining agreements is limited to two years. TAM’s collective bargaining agreements are valid for one year (for economic clauses) and for two years (for social clauses). TAM has historically negotiated collective bargaining agreements with nine unions in Brazil: one flight crew union, which represents the functions of flying workers (pilots, copilots and flight attendants), and eight ground staff unions, which represent TAM employees who perform their duties on the ground in support of TAM’s operations. In December 2013, TAM renegotiated collective bargaining agreements with five unions, which included a wage increase of 7% for ground workers (ground handling) earning minimum wage, and an increase of 5.6% for other salaried ground workers and flying workers (compared with an inflation rate for the period of 5.6%). Ground staff workers who earn salaries of up to R$10,000 received an increase of 5.6%. Employees who earn more than R$10,000 received an increase of R$560.0. Negotiations with the other four unions are ongoing. However, the Company granted all employees the same rights accorded the five unions that signed collective bargaining agreements. Although 92% of wage negotiations in Brazil have resulted in real wage increase greater than inflation, we believe that the wage increases granted to our employees has been positive for the Company, since the majority of employee wage increases were within the rate of inflation. During these negotiations there were no strikes or labor stoppages.

On July 6, 2007, the SVS fined Juan José Cueto Plaza 1,620 UF (approximately US$74,000) in connection with the purchase of Shares that he carried out through Inversiones Mineras del Cantábrico on July 24, 2006. The SVS considered that such purchase had breached an obligation not to acquire Shares until the financial statements of the company became publicly available, in alleged violation of Article 165, paragraph 1 of Law No.18,045 of October 22, 1981. The SVS ruled that, although Mr. Cueto had not used any privileged information, LAN’s financial statements should be considered to be privileged information per se, and thus, created a duty to abstain from trading the securities prior to the disclosure of the financial statements. On July 26, 2007 Juan José Cueto filed an appeal of this fine before the 27° Civil Court of Santiago, which was dismissed on January 8, 2009. The defense of Mr. Cueto filed two legal recourses against the first dismissal, which were rejected by the Court of Appeals of Santiago on March 8, 2010. Against this second dismissal Juan José Cueto filed two additional and separate legal recourses, which as of this date are pending before the Supreme Court of Chile. A final decision is pending.

Transfer Restrictions

Pursuant to the control group shareholders agreement, the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders and TEP Chile are subject to certain restrictions on sales, transfers and pledges of the LATAM Airlines Group common shares and (in the case of TEP Chile only) the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by them. Except for a limited amount of LATAM Airlines Group common shares, neither the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders nor TEP Chile may sell any of its LATAM Airlines Group common shares, and TEP Chile may not sell its voting shares of Holdco I, until June 2015. Thereafter, sales of LATAM Airlines Group common shares by either party are permitted, subject to (i) certain limitations on the volume and frequency of such sales and (ii) in the case of TEP Chile only, TEP Chile satisfying certain minimum ownership requirements. After June 2022, TEP Chile may sell all of its LATAM Airlines Group common shares and voting shares of Holdco I as a block, subject to (x) approval of the transferee by the LATAM board of directors, (y) the condition that the sale not have an adverse effect and (z) a right of first offer in favor of the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders, which we refer to collectively as “block sale provisions.” An “adverse effect” is defined in the control group shareholders agreement to mean a material adverse effect on our and Holdco I’s ability to own or receive the full benefits of ownership of TAM and its subsidiaries or the ability of TAM and its subsidiaries to operate their airline businesses worldwide. The LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders have agreed to transfer any voting shares of Holdco I acquired pursuant to such right of first offer to us for the same consideration paid for such shares.

In addition, TEP Chile may sell all LATAM Airlines Group common shares and voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by it as a block, subject to satisfaction of the block sale provisions, after June 2015 if a release event (as described below) occurs or if TEP Chile is required to make two or more directed votes during any 24-month period at two meetings (consecutive or not) of the shareholders of LATAM Airlines Group held at least 12 months apart and LATAM Airlines Group has not yet fully exercised its conversion option described below. A “release event” will occur if (i) a capital increase of LATAM Airlines Group occurs, (ii) TEP Chile does not fully exercise the preemptive rights granted to it under applicable law in Chile with respect to such capital increase in respect of all of its restricted LATAM Airlines Group common shares, and (iii) after such capital increase is completed, the individual designated by TEP Chile for election to the board of directors of LATAM Airlines Group with the assistance of the LATAM Airlines Group controlling shareholders is not elected to the board of directors of LATAM Airlines Group.

The control group shareholders agreement provides certain exceptions to these restrictions on transfer for certain pledges of LATAM Airlines Group common shares made by the parties and for transfers to affiliates, in each case under certain limited circumstances.

In addition, TEP Chile agreed in the Holdco I shareholders agreement not to vote its voting shares of Holdco I, or to take any other action, in support of any transfer by Holdco I of any equity securities or convertible securities issued by it or by any of TAM or its subsidiaries without our prior written consent.

Restriction on transfer of TAM shares

We agreed in the Holdco I shareholders agreement not to sell or transfer any shares of TAM stock to any person (other than our affiliates) at any time when TEP Chile owns any voting shares of Holdco I. However, we will have the right to effect such a sale or transfer if, at the same time as such sale or transfer, we (or our assignee) acquires all the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by TEP Chile for an amount equal to TEP Chile’s then current tax basis in such shares and any costs TEP Chile is required to incur to effect such sale or transfer. TEP Chile has irrevocably granted us the assignable right to purchase all of the voting shares of Holdco I beneficially owned by TEP Chile in connection with any such sale.

Conversion Option

Pursuant to the control group shareholders agreement and the Holdco I shareholders agreement, we have the unilateral right to convert our shares of non-voting stock of Holdco I into shares of voting stock of Holdco I to the maximum extent allowed under law and to increase our representation on the TAM and Holdco I boards of directors if and when permitted in accordance with foreign ownership control laws in Brazil and other applicable laws if the conversion would not have an adverse effect (as defined above under the “—Transfer Restrictions”).

On or after June 2022, and after we have fully converted all of our shares of non-voting stock of Holdco I into shares of voting stock of Holdco I as permitted by Brazilian law and other applicable laws, we will have the right to purchase all of the voting shares of Holdco I held by the controlling shareholders of TAM for an amount equal to their then current tax basis in such shares and any costs incurred by them to effect such sale, which amount we refer to as the “sale consideration.” If we do not timely exercise our right to purchase these shares or if, after June 2022, we have the right under applicable law in Brazil and other applicable law to fully convert all the shares of non-voting stock of Holdco I beneficially owned by us into shares of voting stock of Holdco I and such conversion would not have an adverse effect but we have not fully exercised such right within a specified period, then the controlling shareholders of TAM will have the right to put their shares of voting stock of Holdco I to us for an amount equal to the sale consideration.

Legal and Arbitration Proceedings

We are involved in routine litigation and other proceedings relating to the ordinary course of our business.

In February 2006 the EC,European Commission (“EC”), in conjunction with the DOJ,Department of Justice of the United States (“DOJ”), initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them Lan Cargo, LAN’s cargo subsidiary)LAN Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the European and United States air cargo markets. On December 26, 2007, the European competition authorities notified LanLAN Cargo and LANLATAM of the initiation of proceedings against twenty-five cargo airlines, among them LanLAN Cargo, for allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the airfreight business.

On January 21, 2009, LanLAN Cargo announced that it had reached a plea agreement with the DOJ in relation to the DOJ’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the plea agreement, LanLAN Cargo agreed to pay a fine of US$88 million. In addition, ABSA also reached a plea agreement with the DOJ and agreed to pay a fine of US$21 million. These amounts were stipulated to be paid over a five-year payment schedule starting in 2009. As of December 31, 2011,2013, the pending amount to be paid during the next three yearsyear is approximately US$5418 million and has been recorded within “Other Accounts Payable.” As of March 31, 2014 there is no amount remaining to be paid.

On November 9, 2010, the EC imposed fines toon 11 air carriers for a total amount of €800 million (equivalent to approximately US$1.1 billion). The fine imposed against LanLAN Cargo and its parent company, LAN, Airlines, totaled €8.2 million (equivalent to approximately US$11.010.9 million). The Company provisioned US$25 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 for such fines, and maintained this provision until the fine was imposed in 2010. In 2010, the Company recorded a US$14.1 million gain (pre-tax) from the reversal of a portion of this provision. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results.” This was the lowest fine applied by the European Commission,EC, which includes a significant reduction due to the Company’s cooperation with the Commission during the course of the investigation. In accordance with European Union law, on January 24, 2011 this administrative decision was appealed by LanLAN Cargo and Lan AirlinesLAN to the General Court in Luxembourg. The appeal is still ongoing. Any judgment by the General Court may also be appealed to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a US$14.1 million gain (pre-tax) due to the reversal of a portion of the provision related to the investigation in the cargo business carried out by the European Commission. This was as a result of the fine announced in November 2010, which was lower than the amount provided for. This reversal is recorded in Other gains/(losses).

The investigation by the DOJ prompted the filing of numerous civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including LanLAN Cargo and LanLATAM Airlines Group, including fifty-four in the United States. The cases filed in the United States were consolidated in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York and the original complaint was subsequently amended to include additional airlines, including ABSA. On May 11, 2011, LanLAN Cargo announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the class action plaintiffs in

relation to this litigation. As per the settlement agreement, LanLAN Cargo agreed to pay US$59.7 million. In addition,Furthermore, ABSA also reached a settlement agreement with class action plaintiffs and agreed to pay US$6.3 million. The amounts were paid to the plaintiffs’ counsel escrow account in 2011. DHL, a former member of the civil class action plaintiffs, timely opted out of the settlements agreement. LAN Cargo recently reached a settlement agreement with StarBroker A.G., on behalf of DHL Global Forwarding, whereby LAN Cargo agreed to pay US$8.2 million, of which US$7.1 million was shall be recovered by LAN Cargo from the escrow amount set aside in the class action settlement previously paid by LAN Cargo for opt out plaintiffs.

In February 2006, the CCB,The Canadian Competition Bureau (“CCB”), in conjunction with the DOJ, also initiated a global investigation of a large number of international cargo airlines (among them LanLAN Cargo) for possible price fixing of cargo fuel surcharges and other fees in the Canadian air cargo markets. Givenmarkets in 2006. On August 20, 2013, LAN Cargo reached a plea agreement with the current stageCCB in relation to the CCB’s ongoing investigation regarding price fixing of fuel surcharges and other fees for cargo shipments. Under the proceeding, it is not possible at this timeplea agreement, LAN Cargo agreed to anticipate with any precision the outcomepay a fine of the investigation.US$975,000.000. The CCB’s investigation prompted the filing of four separate civil class actions by freight forwarding and shipping companies against many airlines, including LanLAN Cargo and Lan AirlinesLAN, in Canada. On January 31, 2012, the respective Board of Directors of Lan AirlinesLAN and LanLAN Cargo approved a settlement agreement with the class actions plaintiffs. As per the settlement agreement, Lan Airlines and Lan Cargo agreed to pay theplaintiffs for an amount of CAD$700,000 (approximately US$701,192 as of March 28, 2012). The settlement agreement and payment are(Canadian Dollars), which is pending court approval.

On April 5, 2008, Brazilian authorities notified ABSA of the initiation of administrative proceedings before theConselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (the (CADEthe Brazilian Antitrust Authority) against several cargo airlines and airline officers, among them ABSA, for allegations of anticompetitive practices regarding fuel surcharges in the air cargo business. On September 3, 2013, CADE published its decision to impose a fine of US$51,020 million against ABSA. CADE also imposed fines upon a former Director and two former employees in the amounts of US$1.020 million and US$510,000.00 respectively. On December 5, 2013 ABSA filed its application for Administrative Reconsideration before CADE which remains pending. ABSA will also have the right to appeal the final decision of CADE before Judge in a formal judicial proceeding. Given the current stage of the proceedings, it is not possible at this time to anticipate with any precision the outcome of the civil actions filed against Lan Cargo,this matter, although it is expected to be a lengthy process.

In June 2008, the Korean Fair Trade Commission notified LANLegal proceedings involving TAM

TAM Linhas Aéreas is party to 1 action filed by relatives of victims of an investigation intoaccident that occurred in October 1996 involving one of its Fokker 100 aircraft which crashed during departure, in addition to 22 actions filed by residents of the air cargo industryregion of where the accident occurred, who are claiming pain and its non-compliancesuffering, and a class action related to this crash. Any damages resulting from the aforementioned legal claims are covered by the civil liability guarantee provided for in TAM’s insurance policy with ItaúUnibancoSeguros S.A. We believe that the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act and has requested information and documentation from LAN, which LAN duly submitted. On May 26, 2010 the Korean Fair Trade Commission announced the impositioncap of penalties against 29 other airlines and excluded LAN from further investigation.

The New Zealand Commerce Commission also initiated an investigation into potential anti-competitive activities in the international air cargo markets and requested information and documentation from LAN, which LAN duly submitted. On December 15, 2008, the New Zealand Commerce Commission announced it would focus its investigation on ten airlines and excluded LAN from further investigation.

In January 2007, we announced that we had provided, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Atlantic Aviation Investments LLC (“AAI”), a total of US$17.1U.S.$ 400 million in financingthat insurance policy is sufficient to Brazilian company VRG LINHAS AEREAS S.A. (“New Varig”), convertible into shares of New Varig. On March 28, 2007, GOL announced that it was acquiring 100% of the equity participation in New Varig. Pursuant to the terms of the relevant loancover any potential penalties and judicial or extrajudicial agreements upon the sale of New Varig to GOL, we sought repayment of the principal of the loans plus interest from Varig Logística S.A. (“VarigLog”), the parent company of New Varig. VarigLog failed to respond to our demands for repayment and we subsequently filed a lawsuit in New York State court on August 29, 2007, seeking repayment of the outstanding principal plus interest. On October 10, 2008, the Court granted summary judgment in our favor for the full principal amount of the loans, US$17.1 million and entered a final judgment on December 1, 2008. The Court also held that AAI was entitled to collect the interest due under the loan agreement along with reasonable attorneys’ fees. After a hearing, a special referee appointed by the Court to decide the issue recommended that AAI recover US$1.9 million in accrued interest and attorneys’ fees, and the Court approved that recommendation. VarigLog appealed that decision, and the decision was upheld. On March 3, 2009, VarigLog filed an insolvency proceeding (recuperação judicial) before the bankruptcy court in Brazil, and on March 31, 2009, VarigLog filed a Chapter 15 petition in bankruptcy court in Florida seeking recognition of its Brazilian filing. The Florida court has entered an order, based upon AAI’s stipulation with VarigLog pursuant to which there would be no stay against the continuation and commencement of legal actions by AAI against VarigLog and any of its affiliates but AAI would not be able to take any action against two discrete VarigLog assets located in the United States. AAI continues its enforcement efforts to recover the amounts owed to it by VarigLog under the loan agreements.

In July 2009,arising as a result of VarigLog’s continuedthis matter.

Insurance coverage has been sufficient to cover the liabilities arising from an accident that occurred in July 2007 involving an Airbus A320 aircraft from TAM Linhas Aereas. Settlements have been made directly between the insurance company and the victims’ families. As of December 31, 2013, approximately 196 settlements have occurred and others are under negotiation between the insurance company and victims’ families. Management believes that the insurance coverage is adequate and that TAM will not incur any expenses that were not contemplated by the scope of the insurance policy that would result in TAM’s obligation to pay damages.

TAM Linhas Aereas challenged the constitutionality of a change in the tax basis of the PIS and the increase in the contribution and basis calculation of COFINS, introduced under Law No. 9.718/98. On November 9, 2005, the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice ruled that the change in the tax basis of the PIS was unconstitutional. During 2006, TAM Linhas Aereas was successful in obtaining one favorable ruling which enabled TAM to partially reverse a tax assessment of R$46. In November 2009, Brazil established the Fiscal Recovery Program (“REFIS”) to refund amounts previously required under Law No. 9.718/98. TAM Linhas Aéreas has applied to REFIS to settle its outstanding tax assessments relating to Law No. 9.718/98.

Proceedings had been filed against TAM LinhasAéreas concerning the alleged failure to repaypay ICMS due on imported aircraft, parts and engines. In response, TAM had filed the amount owed to AAI, we instituted a second lawsuitappropriate challenges on the basis that ICMS should not be payable on leased aircraft. On May 30, 2007, theSupremo Tribunal Federal (Federal Supreme Court) ruled in New York State court against MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC, MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners II LP, MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities (Cayman) II LPTAM’s favor in respect of one of these cases. On the basis of this precedent decision and Volo Logistics LLC (collectively, the “MP Entities”), seeking to hold them liable as thealter egosof VarigLog and asserting separate contract-based claims related to AAI’s loans to VarigLog. If AAI succeeds in itsalter ego claim, the MP Entities would be liable for VarigLog’s debts, and obligated to repay what VarigLog has been adjudged to owe AAI by the

prior decisionsrecent rulings of the New York courts. The Court deniedSuperior Tribunal of Justice, we believe our chance of loss in large part the MP Entities motion to dismiss AAI’s complaint on April 23, 2010. Thereafter, the MP Entities answered AAI’s complaint and filed counter-claims against AAI and its direct and indirect parents, LAN Pax Group S.A. (“LAX Pax”) and LAN Airlines S.A. (“LAN Airlines”), seeking declaratory relief and damages for breach of contract and tortious interference with contract. AAI and LAN Airlines moved to dismiss allrespect of the counterclaims. AAI also movedother pending cases is remote. We had not established any provisions for summarythe amounts in question.

TAM Linhas Aereas filed an ordinary action with a request for injunctive relief for non-payment of the Airline Workers Fund, a tax charged monthly at the rate of 2.5% of an airline’s total payroll. Payment of the tax credit is suspended by virtue of the injunctive relief granted in TAM’s favor. Currently, judgment is pending on one of its breach of contract claims in September 2010. In May 2011,an appeal that TAM lodged challenging the Court granted summary judgmentinitial decision (which was ruled in favor of AAIthe INSS). In 2004 and 2011, the INSS issued an assessment notice tolling the Statute of Limitations of the social security credit as toa result of TAM Linhas Aereas’ non-payment of the MP Entities’ liability for breachAirline Workers Fund. The administrative proceedings have been suspended until completion of contract.the judicial process. The approximate adjusted value of this proceeding as of December 31, 2012 was R$ 271 million. In the same decision,opinion of our legal advisors, chance of losing in this proceeding is possible. Assuming payment of this tax is required by law, we have established a provision in the Court dismissedamount of R$271 million pending the majorityfinal outcome of the MP Entities’ counterclaims.matter.

TAM Linhas Aereas is a plaintiff in an action filed against the Brazilian government in 1993 seeking damages for the break-up of an air transport concession agreement that resulted in the freezing of TAM’s prices from 1988 to September 1993 in order to maintain operations with the prices set by the Brazilian government during that period. The MP Entities have separately appealed bothprocess is currently being heard before the Court’s decision granting AAI summaryFederal Regional Court and judgment and the decision to dismiss the majorityis pending an appeal by TAM requesting clarification of the MP Entities’ counterclaims. In February 2012,initial decision. The estimated value of the Appellateaction is R$245 million, based on a calculation made by an expert witness of the court. This sum is subject to delinquent interest since September 1993 and inflation adjustment since November 1994. Based on the opinion of TAM’s legal advisors, and recent rulings handed down by the Brazilian Supreme Court unanimously affirmed the lower Court’s grant of summary judgmentJustice in favor of AAIairlines in similar cases (specifically, actions filed by Transbrasil and Varig), we believe that TAM’s likelihood of success is probable. We have not recognized these credits in our financial statements and will only do so if and when the aforementioned decision is final.

TAM Linhas Aereas filed an ordinary claim, with a request for early judgment, in relation to a dispute concerning the legality of charging theAdicional das TarifasAeroportuárias (“Additional Airport Tariffs,” or “ATAERO”), which are charged at a rate of 50% on the issuevalue of liability.tariffs and airport tariffs. The MP Entities are seeking permissiontotal amount involved, adjusted for inflation, as of December 31, 2012 totaled R$1,146 million.

In addition, one administrative proceeding had been filed against TAM Linhas Aéreas concerning the alleged failure to pay an Industrialized Products Tax (“IPI”) and Import Tax (“II”) due on imported aircraft. In response, we filed the appropriate challenges on the basis that no federal tax should be payable on the imported aircraft because it is leased aircraft. The total amount involved in this administrative proceeding is R$770 million. In April 2013, the Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais (“CARF”) ruled the case in our favor and definitively released the Company from paying the Court to further appeal that decision. If the Appellate Court's affirmance of the lower Court's grant of summary judgment is undisturbed, AAI will resume proceedings before the lower Court to fix the amount of damages the MP Entities owe AAI.initial debt.

Trading

Chile

The Chilean stock market, which is regulated by the SVS under Law 18,045 of October 22, 1981, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Market Law, is one of the most developed among emerging markets, reflecting the particular economic history and development of Chile. The Chilean government’s policy of privatizing state-owned companies, implemented during the 1980s, led to an expansion of private ownership of shares, resulting in an increase in the importance of stock markets. Privatization extended to the social security system, which was

converted into a privately managed pension fund system. These pension funds have been allowed, subject to certain limitations, to invest in stocks and are currently major investors in the stock market. Some market participants, including pension fund administrators, are highly regulated with respect to investment and remuneration criteria, but the general market is less regulated than the U.S. market with respect to disclosure requirements and information usage.

The SSE is Chile’s principal exchange and accounts for approximately 86.87% of securities traded in Chile. Approximately 12.91% of equity trading is conducted on the Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange, an electronic trading market created by banks and non-member brokerage houses. The remaining equity trading is conducted on the Valparaíso Stock Exchange.

Equities, closed-end funds, fixed-income securities, short-term and money market securities, gold and U.S. dollars are traded on the SSE. In 1991, the SSE initiated a futures market with two instruments: U.S. dollar futures and Selective Shares Price Index, or IPSA, futures. Securities are traded primarily through an open voice auction system; a firm offers system or daily auctions. Trading through the open voice system occurs on each business day between 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The SSE has an electronic system of trade, calledTelepregón HT, which operates continuously for stocks trading in high volumes from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (or 5:00 p.m., depending on the period of the year). The Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange operates continuously from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (or 5:30 p.m., depending on the period of the year) on each business day. In February 2000, the SSE Off-Shore Market began operations. In the Off-Shore Market, publicly offered foreign securities are traded and quoted in U.S. dollars.

Brazil

Bovespa is a Brazilian publicly-held company, created in 2008, through the integration between the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo) and the Brazilian Mercantile & Futures Exchange (Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros).

Bovespa is the most important Brazilian institution to intermediate equity market transactions and the only securities, commodities and futures exchange in Brazil. Trading on such exchanges is limited to member brokerage firms and to limited number of authorized non-members. LATAM’s common shares are listed on the Bovespa.

Although the Brazilian equity market is Latin America’s largest in terms of market capitalization, it is smaller and less liquid than major U.S. and European securities markets. Any of the outstanding shares of a listed company may trade on a Brazilian stock exchange, but in most cases fewer than half of the listed shares are actually available for trading by the public, the remainder being held by small groups of controlling persons, governmental entities or one principal shareholder.

The Brazilian securities markets are principally governed by Law No. 6,385, of December 7, 1976, and Brazilian corporation law, each as amended and supplemented, and by regulations issued by the CVM, which has authority over stock exchanges and the securities markets generally; the National Monetary Council; and the Central Bank, which has, among other powers, licensing authority over brokerage firms and regulates foreign investment and foreign exchange transactions.

Trading through Bovespa occurs on each business day between 10:00 a.m. to 4:20 pm (Brazilian local time).

Organization and Register

LanLATAM Airlines Group is a publicly held stock corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) incorporated under the laws of Chile. LanLATAM Airlines Group was incorporated by a public deed dated December 30, 1983, an abstract of which was published in the Chilean Official Gazette (Diario Oficial de la República de Chile) No. 31.759 on December 31, 1983, and registered on page 20,341, No. 11,248 of the Chilean Real Estate and Commercial Registrar (Registro de Comercio del Conservador de Bienes Raices y Comercio de Santiago) for the year 1983. Our corporate purpose, as stated in our by-laws, is to provide a broad range of transportation and related services, as more fully set forth in Article Four thereof.

General

Shareholders’ rights in a Chilean company are generally governed by the company’s by-laws and the Chilean Corporation Law. Article 22 of the Chilean Corporation Law states that the purchaser of shares of a company implicitly accepts its by-laws and any prior agreements adopted at shareholders’ meetings. Additionally, the Chilean Corporation Law regulates the government and operation of corporations (“sociedades anónimas,” or S.A.) and provides for certain shareholder rights. Article 137 of the Chilean Corporation Law provides that the provisions of the Chilean Corporation Law take precedence over any contrary provision in a corporation’s by-laws. The Chilean Corporation Law and our by-laws also provide that all disputes arising among shareholders in their capacity as such or between us or our administrators and the shareholders may either be submitted to arbitration in Chile or to the courts of Chile at the election of the plaintiff initiating the action. Despite the foregoing, a recent legal amendment has forbidden certain individuals (directors, senior managers, administrators and main executives of the corporation, and any shareholder that directly or indirectly holds shares whose book or market value exceed 5,000 UF at the moment of filing of the action) from submitting such action before the ordinary courts, thus obligating them to proceed with arbitration in all situations. Finally, Decree-Law No. 3,500 on Pension Fund Administrators, which allows pension funds to invest in the stock of qualified corporations, indirectly affects corporate governance and prescribes certain rights of shareholders. The Chilean Corporation Law sets forth the rules and requirements under which a corporation is deemed to be “publicly held.” Article 2 of the Chilean Corporation Law defines publicly held corporations as corporations that register their shares with theRegistro de Valores (Securities Registry) of the SVS, either voluntarily or pursuant to a legal obligation. In addition, Article 5 of the Chilean Securities Market Law indicates which corporation’s shares must be registered with the Securities Registry:

 

one with 500 or more shareholders; and

 

one in which 100 or more shareholders own at least 10% of the subscribed capital (excluding any direct or indirect individual holdings exceeding 10%).

The framework of the Chilean securities market is regulated by the SVS under the Securities Market Law and the Chilean Corporation Law, which imposes certain disclosure requirements, restricts insider trading, prohibits price manipulation and protects minority investors. In particular, the Securities Market Law establishes requirements for public offerings, stock exchanges and brokers and outlines disclosure requirements for corporations that issue publicly offered securities.

Ownership Restrictions

Under Articles 12 and 20 of the Securities Market Law and Circular 289General Rule 269 issued by the SVS in 2009, certain information regarding transactions in shares of publicly held corporations must be reported to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges on which the shares are listed. Since the ADRs are deemed to represent the shares underlying the ADSs, transactions in ADRs will be subject to those reporting requirements. Among other matters, the beneficial owners of ADSs that directly or indirectly hold 10% or more of the subscribed capital of LanLATAM Airlines Group, or that reach or exceed such percentage through an acquisition, are required to report to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges, the day following the event:

 

any acquisition or sale of shares; and

any acquisition or sale of contracts or securities the price or performance of which depends on the price variation of the Lan Airlines’LATAM Airlines Group’s shares.

These obligations are extended (i) to certain individuals (immediate family, next of kin and others) if the ADSs holder is a natural person; (ii) to any entity controlled by the holder, if the ADSs is an legal entity,; and (iii) to groups, if a holder has any joint action agreement with other holders and the group reaches or exceeds the cited threshold.

In addition, majority shareholders must state in their report whether their purpose is to acquire control of the company or if they are making a financial investment.

Under Article 54 of the Securities Market Law and under SVS regulations, persons or entities that intend to acquire control, whether directly or indirectly, of a publicly traded company, must follow certain notice requirements, regardless of the acquisition vehicle or procedure or whether the acquisition will be made through direct subscriptions or private transactions. In the first place, the potential acquiror must send a written communication to the target corporation, any companies controlling or controlled by the target corporation, the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges on which the target’s securities are listed, stating, among other things, the person or entity purchasing or selling and the price and conditions of any negotiations. Subsequently, the potential acquiror must also inform the public of its planned acquisition by means of a publication in two Chilean newspapers with national distribution and by uploading such notice to the acquiror’s website, if available. Both requirements shall be met at least ten business days prior to the date on which the acquisition transaction is to close, and in any event, as soon as negotiations regarding the change of control have been formalized or when confidential information or documents concerning the target are delivered to the potential acquiror. The notices must state, among other things, the person or entity purchasing or selling and the price and conditions of any negotiations.

In addition to the foregoing, Article 54A of the Securities Market Law requires that within two business days of the completion of the transactions pursuant to which a person has acquired control of a publicly traded company, a notice shall be published in the same newspapers in which the notice referred to above was published and notices shall be sent to the same persons mentioned in the preceding paragraphs.

Consequently, a beneficial owner of ADSs intending to acquire control of LanLATAM Airlines Group will be subject to the foregoing reporting requirements.

The provisions of the aforementioned articles do not apply whenever the acquisition is being made through a tender or exchange offer.

Title XXV of the Securities Market Law on tender offers and SVS regulations provide that the following transactions shall be carried out through a tender offer:

 

an offer which allows to take control of a publicly traded company, unless the shares are being sold by a controlling shareholder of such company at a price in cash which is not substantially higher than the market price and the shares of such company are actively traded on a stock exchange;

 

an offer for all the outstanding shares of a publicly traded company upon acquiring two-thirds or more of its voting shares (this offer must be made at a price not lower than the price at which appraisal rights may be exercised, that is, book value if the shares of the company are not actively traded or, if the shares of the company are actively traded, the weighted average price at which the stock has been traded during the two months immediately preceding the acquisition); and

 

an offer for a controlling percentage of the shares of a publicly traded company if the acquiror intends to take control of the company (whether publicly-traded or privately held) controlling such publicly traded company, to the extent that the latter represents 75.0% or more of the consolidated net assets of the former.

Article 200 of the Securities Market Law prohibits any shareholder that has taken control of a publicly traded company from acquiring, for a period of twelve months from the date of the transaction that granted it control of the

publicly traded company, a number of shares equal to or higher than 3.0% of the outstanding issued shares of the target without making a tender offer at a price per share not lower than the price paid at the time of taking control. Should the acquisition from the other shareholders of the company be made on the floor of a stock exchange and on a pro rata basis, the controlling shareholder may purchase a higher percentage of shares, if so permitted by the regulations of the stock exchange.

Title XV of the Securities Market Law sets forth the basis for determining what constitutes a controlling power, a direct holding and a related party.

Capitalization

Under Chilean law, the shareholders of a company, acting at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, have the power to authorize an increase in the company’s share capital. When an investor subscribes issued shares, the shares are registered in that investor’s name even without payment, and the investor is treated as a shareholder for all purposes except with regard to receipt of dividends and return of capital, provided that the shareholders may, by amending the by-laws, also grant the right to receive dividends of distribution of capital despite not having paid for the subscribed shares. The investor becomes eligible to receive dividends once it has paid for the shares, or, if it has paid for only a portion of such shares, it is entitled to receive a corresponding pro rata portion of the dividends declared with respect to such shares, unless the company’s by-laws provide otherwise. If an investor does not pay for shares for which it has subscribed on or prior to the date agreed upon for payment, the company is entitled under Chilean law to auction the shares on the appropriate stock exchange, and it has a cause of action against the investor to recover the difference between the subscription price and the price received for the sale of those shares at auction. However, until such shares are sold at auction, the investor continues to exercise all the rights of a shareholder (except the right to receive dividends and return of capital, as noted above). Regarding shares issued but not paid for within the period determined by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting for their payment (which period cannot exceed three years from the date of such shareholders’ meeting), until January 1, 2010 they were canceled and no longer available for issuance by us. As of January 1, 2010, the board of directors of LanLATAM Airlines Group has a legal obligation to initiate the necessary legal actions to collect the unpaid amounts, unless the shareholders’ meeting which authorized the capital increase, allowed the board to abstain from taking such action by a vote of two thirds of the issued shares, in which case the former rule still applies. Once the foregoing legal actions are exhausted, the board of directors shall propose to the shareholders’ meeting the appropriate capital adjustment measures, to be decided by simple majority. Fully paid shares are not subject to further calls or assessments or to liabilities of Lan Airlines.LATAM Airlines Group.

As of February 29, 2012,March, 31, 2014, our share capital consisted of 340.381.831545,558,101 common shares, all of which were subscribed and fully paid. Chilean law recognizes the right of corporations to issue common and preferred shares. To date, we have issued and are authorized by our shareholders to issue only common shares. Each share of stock is entitled to one vote. Pursuant to antwo employee compensation planplans: (i) 2011: approved by extraordinary shareholders’ meetings dated April 5, 2007held on December 21, 2011 and October 29, 2009,September 4, 2012, the issuance of certainthe shares for this compensation plan has been authorized but that has not been made effective, in full, as such issuance is subject to the exercising of rights granted to certain employees that expire on March 31, 2012.December 21, 2016; and (ii) 2013: approved by extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on June 11, 2013, the issuance of the shares for this compensation plan has been authorized but has not been made effective, as such issuance is subject to the exercising of rights granted to certain employees that expire on November 15, 2017.

Preemptive Rights and Increases in Share Capital

The Chilean Corporation Law requires Chilean companies to offer existing shareholders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing percentage of ownership in a company whenever that company issues new shares for cash, except for up to 10% of the capital increase which may be destineddesignated to employee compensation pursuant to article 24 of the Corporation Law. Under this requirement, any preemptive rights will be offered by us to the depositary as the registered owner of the common shares underlying the ADSs, but holders of ADSs and shareholders located in the United States will not be allowed to exercise preemptive rights with respect to new issuances of shares by us unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to those common shares or an exemption from the registration requirements thereunder is available.

We intend to evaluate at the time of any preemptive rights offering the costs and potential liabilities associated with the preparation and filing of a registration statement with the SEC, as well as the indirect benefits of enabling the exercise by the holders of ADSs and shareholders located in the United States of preemptive rights and any other

factors we consider appropriate at the time. No assurances can be given that any registration statement would be filed. If preemptive rights are not made available to ADS holders, the depositary may sell those holders’ preemptive rights and distribute the proceeds thereof if a secondary market for such rights exists and a premium can be recognized over the cost of such sale. In the event that the depositary does not sell such rights at a premium over the cost of any such sale, all or certain holders of ADRs may receive no value for the preemptive rights. The inability of holders of ADSs to exercise preemptive rights in respect of common shares underlying their ADSs could result in a change in their percentage ownership of common shares following a preemptive rights offering.

Under Chilean law, preemptive rights are freely exercisable, transferable or waived by shareholders during a thirty-day period commencing upon publication of the official notice announcing the start of the preemptive rights period in the newspaper designated by the shareholders’ meeting. The preemptive right of the shareholders is the pro rata amount of the shares registered in their name in the shareholders’ registry of LanLATAM Airlines Group as of the fifth business day prior to the date of publication of the notice announcing the start of the preemptive rights period. During such thirty-day period (except for shares as to which preemptive rights have been waived), Chilean companies are not permitted to offer any newly issued common shares for sale to third parties. For that thirty-day period and an additional thirty-day period, Chilean publicly held corporations are not permitted to offer any unsubscribed common shares for sale to third parties on terms that are more favorable to the purchaser than those offered to shareholders. At the end of such additional thirty-day period, Chilean publicly held corporations are authorized to sell non-subscribed shares to third-parties on any terms, provided they are sold on a Chilean stock exchange.

Directors

Our by-laws provide for a board of nine directors. Compensation to be paid to directors must be approved by vote at the annual shareholders’ meeting. We hold elections for all positions on the board of directors every two years. Under our by-laws, directors are elected by cumulative voting. Each shareholder has one vote per share and may cast all of his or her votes in favor of one nominee or may apportion his or her votes among any number of nominees. These voting provisions currently ensure that a shareholder owning more than 10% of our outstanding shares is able to elect at least one representative to our board of directors.

Under the Chilean Corporation Law, transactions of a publicly-traded company with a “related” party must be conducted on an arm’s-length basis and must satisfy certain approval and disclosure requirements which are different from the ones that apply to a privately-held company. The conditions apply to the publicly-traded company and to all of its subsidiaries.

These transactions include any negotiation, act, contract or operation in which the publicly-traded company intervenes together with either (i) parties which are legally deemed related pursuant to article 100 of the Chilean Securities Market Law, (ii) a director, senior manager, administrator, main executive or liquidator of the company, either on their own behalf or on behalf of a third party, including those individuals’ spouses or close relatives, (iii) companies in which the foregoing individuals own at least 10% (directly or indirectly), or in which they serve as directors, senior managers, administrators or main executives (iv) parties indicated as such in the publicly-traded company’s by-laws, or identified by the directors’ committee, or (v) those who have served as directors, senior managers, administrators, main executives or liquidators of the counterparty in the last eighteen months and are now serving in one of those positions at the publicly-traded company.

Corporations may enter into transactions with related parties if (i) the transaction is in the interest of the corporation, (ii) the transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis at market conditions, (iii) the individuals involved in the transactions report them immediately to the board, (iv) the transaction is approved after a reasoned explanation by the majority of the board, excluding those directors or liquidators that are involved in the transaction (who shall, nonetheless, render an opinion on the matter if required by the board), (v) the decisions of the board is disclosed at the next shareholders’ meeting, and (vi) in case the majority of the board is disqualified to vote, the majority of the non-involved directors have approved the transaction, or two thirds of the voting shares have approved the transaction).

If as noted in clause (vi) above,of the preceding paragraph, the transaction is to be approved by the shareholder’s meeting, the following additional rules apply: (i) the board shall appoint an independent appraiser that shall report to the shareholders on the

transaction; (ii) the director’s committee or the non-involved directors may appoint a second independent appraiser; (iii) the appraiser’s reports shall be made available for fifteen days; (iv) the receipt and availability of the reports shall be disclosed as a material fact; (iv) directors shall render an opinion on the transaction within five business days after receiving the reports.

Transactions which do not meet the foregoing requirements are valid and enforceable, but neither the corporation nor its shareholders shall have a cause of action to sue the infringing party for reimbursement on behalf of the corporation, for a total of the benefits reported to the interested party, in addition to indemnification for the damages caused. In such proceedings, the defendant shall prove that the transaction met the legal requirements.

The Chilean Corporation Law sets forth a number of exceptions to the foregoing rules. In the following situations, transactions with related parties may be carried out without complying with the foregoing rules: (i) if a transaction does not involve a substantial amount (if it does not exceed 1.0% of the net worth of the company and does not exceed the equivalent of 2,000 UF or approximately US$92,00096,554 as of the date of this annual report on Form 20F) unless such a transaction exceeds 20,000 UF (for this calculation all similar transactions carried out within a consecutive 12-month period between the same parties or for the same subject matter, shall be deemed as a single transaction), (ii) transactions which according to the policies determined by the board of directors, are deemed to be within the ordinary course of business (the determination of such policies shall be disclosed as a material fact and made available to shareholders), and (iii) if the counterparty is an entity in which the publicly-traded company has, directly or indirectly, at least a 95.0% ownership. As per the exemption indicated in (ii) above, on December 29, 2009, the Board of Directors of LAN determined the citedLATAM Airlines Group established policies setting forth the transactions that fall within the ordinary course of business. That determination was publicly disclosed on the same day and is currently available on LAN’sLATAM Airlines Group’s website under the “Corporate Governance” section.

Shareholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights

The Chilean Corporation Law requires that an ordinary annual meeting of shareholders be held within the first four months of each year after being called by the board of directors (generally they are held in April, but in any case following the preparation of our financial statements, including the report of our auditors, for the previous fiscal year). Lan Airlines’LATAM Airlines Group’s by-laws further provide that the ordinary annual meeting of shareholders must take place between February 1 and April 30. The shareholders at the ordinary annual meeting approve the annual financial statements, including the report of our auditors, the annual report, the dividend policy and the final dividend on the prior year’s profits, elect the board of directors (in our case, every two years or earlier if a vacancy occurs) and approve any other matter that does not require an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting. The most recent extraordinary meeting of our shareholders was held on December 21, 2011,June 11, 2013, and the most recent ordinary annual meeting of our shareholders was held on April 29, 2011.2013.

Extraordinary shareholders’ meetings may be called by the board of directors, if deemed appropriate, and ordinary or extraordinary shareholders’ meetings must be called by the board of directors when requested by shareholders representing at least 10.0% of the issued voting shares or by the SVS. In addition, as from January 1, 2010 there are two new rules in this regard: (i) the SVS may directly call for an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting in case of a publicly-traded companies, and (ii) any kind of shareholders’ meeting may be self-convened and take place if all voting shares attend, regardless of the fulfillment of the notice and other type of procedural requirements.

Notice to convene the ordinary annual meeting or an extraordinary meeting is given by means of three notices which must be published in a newspaper of our corporate domicile (currently Santiago, Chile) designated by the shareholders at their annual meeting and, if the shareholders fail to make such designation, the notice must be published in the Chilean Official Gazette pursuant to legal requirements. The first notice must be published not less than fifteen days and not more than twenty days in advance of the scheduled meeting. Notice also must be mailed not less than fifteen days in advance of the meeting to each shareholder and to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges. Currently, we publish our official notices in the newspaperLa Tercera(available online at www.latercera.com).

The quorum for a shareholders’ meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing a majority of our issued common shares. If that quorum is not reached, the meeting can be reconvened within forty-five days, and at the second meeting the shareholders present are deemed to constitute a quorum regardless of the percentage of the common shares that they represent.

Only shareholders registered with us on the fifth business day prior to the date of a meeting are entitled to attend and vote their shares. A shareholder may appoint another individual (who need not be a shareholder) as his or her proxy to attend and vote on his or her behalf. Proxies addressed to us that do not designate a person to exercise the proxy are taken into account in order to determine if there is a sufficient quorum to hold the meeting, but the shares represented thereby are not entitled to vote at the meeting. The proxies must fulfill the requirements set forth by the Chilean Corporation Law and its regulatory norms. Every shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a shareholders’ meeting has one vote for every share subscribed.

The following matters can only be considered at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting:

 

our dissolution;

 

a merger, transformation, division or other change in our corporate form or the amendment of our by-laws;

 

the issuance of bonds or debentures convertible into shares;

 

the conveyance of 50% or more of our assets (whether or not it includes our liabilities);

 

the adoption or amendment of any business plan which contemplates the conveyance of assets in excess of the foregoing percentage;

 

the conveyance of 50% or more of the assets of a subsidiary, if the latter represents at least 20% of our assets;

 

the conveyance of shares of a subsidiary which entails the transfer of control;

 

granting of a security interest or a personal guarantee in each case to secure the obligations of third parties, unless to secure or guarantee the obligations of a subsidiary, in which case only the approval of the board of directors will suffice; and

 

other matters that require shareholder approval according to Chilean law or the by-laws.

The matters referred to in the first seven items listed above may only be approved at a meeting held before a notary public, who shall certify that the minutes are a true record of the events and resolutions of the meeting.

The by-laws establish that resolutions are passed at shareholders’ meetings by the affirmative vote of an absolute majority of those voting shares present or represented at the meeting. However, under the Chilean Corporation Law, the vote of a two-thirds majority of the outstanding voting shares is required to approve any of the following actions:

 

a change in our corporate form, division or merger with another entity;

 

amendment to our term of existence, if any;

 

our early dissolution;

 

change in our corporate domicile;

 

decrease of our capital stock;

approval of contributions and the assessment thereof whenever consisting of assets other than money;

any modification of the authority reserved for the shareholders’ meetings or limitations on the powers of the board of directors;

 

decrease in the number of members of the board of directors;

 

the conveyance of 50% or more our assets (whether or not it includes our liabilities);

 

the adoption or amendment of any business plan which contemplates the conveyance of assets in excess of the foregoing percentage;

 

the conveyance of 50% or more of the assets of a subsidiary, if the latter represents at least 20% of our assets;

 

the conveyance of shares of a subsidiary which entails the transfer of control;

 

the form that dividends are paid in;

 

granting a security interest or a personal guarantee in each case to secure obligations of third parties that exceeds 50% of our assets, unless to secure or guarantee the obligations of a subsidiary, in which case only approval of the board of directors will suffice;

 

the acquisition of our own shares, when, and on the terms and conditions, permitted by law;

 

all other matters provided for in the by-laws; and

 

the correction of any formal defect in our incorporation or any amendment to our by-laws that refers to any of the matters indicated in the first thirteen items listed above;

 

the institution of the right of the controlling shareholder who has purchases at least 95% of the shares, to purchase shares of the outstanding minority shareholders pursuant to the procedure set forth in article 71 bis of the Corporation Law;

 

the approval or ratification of transactions with related parties, as per article 147 of the Corporation Law (described above).

Amendments to the by-laws that have the effect of establishing, modifying or eliminating any special rights pertaining to any series of shares require the consenting vote of holders of two-thirds of the shares of the affected series. As noted above, LanLATAM Airlines Group does not have special series of shares.

In general, Chilean law does not require a publicly held corporation to provide the level and type of information that the U.S. securities laws require a reporting company to provide to its shareholders in connection with a solicitation of proxies. However, shareholders are entitled to examine the books of the company and its subsidiaries within the fifteen-day period before thea scheduled meeting. No later than the first notice summoning an ordinary shareholder’s meeting, the board of directors of a publicly held corporation shallis required to send to every shareholder notice by regular mail, a notice containing a reference to the issues that will be discussed, together with instructions to obtain all the appropriate documentation regarding those issues, in additionand publish such notice on its website. The board is also required to being obligated to publish them in our website, and alsoprovide a copy of the annual report and the financial statements of the company. However, the SVS may authorize companies that have a large number of shareholders to limit the sending of such documents only to those shareholders who have a number of shares exceeding a certain number, and, in any case, to any shareholder thatwho has required of the company such sending.requested a written notice. Shareholders who do not fall into this category but who request it must be sent a copy of our annual report. In addition to these requirements, we regularly have provided, and currently intend to continue to provide, together with the notice of shareholders’ meeting, a proposal for the final annual dividend for shareholder approval. See “—Dividend and Liquidation Rights” below.

The Chilean Corporation Law provides that, whenever shareholders representing 10% or more of the issued voting shares so request, a Chilean company’s annual report must include such shareholders’ comments and proposal in relation to the company’s affairs, together with the comments and proposals set forth by the directors’ committee. Similarly, the Chilean Corporation Law provides that whenever the board of directors of a publicly held corporation convenes an ordinary meeting of the shareholders and solicits proxies for that meeting, or distributes information supporting its decisions or other similar material, it is obligated to include as an annex to its annual report any pertinent comments and proposals that may have been made by shareholders owning 10% or more of the company’s voting shares who have requested that such comments and proposals be included, together with the comments and proposals set forth by the directors’ committee.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

In accordance with the Chilean Corporation Law, LanLATAM Airlines Group must distribute an annual cash dividend equal to at least 30% of its annual net income calculated in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise decided by a unanimous vote of the holders of all issued shares, and unless and except to the extent it has accumulated losses. If there is no net income in a given year, LanLATAM Airlines Group can elect but is not legally obligated to distribute dividends out of retained earnings. All outstanding common shares are entitled to share equally in all dividends declared by LanLATAM Airlines Group, unless the shares have not been fully paid by the shareholder after being subscribed.

For all dividend distributions agreed by the board of directors in excess of the mandatory minimum of 30% noted in the preceding paragraph, LanLATAM Airlines Group may grant an option to its shareholders to receive those dividends in cash, or in shares issued by either LanLATAM Airlines Group or other corporations. Shareholders who do not expressly elect to receive a dividend other than in cash are legally presumed to have decided to receive the dividend in cash. A U.S. holder of ADSs may, in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an available exemption from the registration requirement thereunder, effectively be required to receive a dividend in cash. See “—Preemptive Rights and Increases in Share Capital” above.

Dividends that are declared but not paid within the appropriate time period set forth in the Chilean Corporation Law (as to minimum dividends, thirty days after declaration; as to additional dividends, the date set for payment at the time of declaration) are adjusted to reflect the change in the value of the UF. The UF is a daily indexed, Chilean peso-denominated accounting unit designed to discount the effect of Chilean inflation and it is based on the previous month’s inflation rate as officially determined. Such dividends also accrue interest at the then-prevailing rate for UF-denominated deposits during such period. The right to receive a dividend lapses if it is not claimed within five years from the date such dividend is payable. After that period, the amount not claimed is given to a non-profit organization, theJunta Nacional de Cuerpos de Bomberos de Chile(the National Corporation of Firefighters).

In the event of Lan Airlines’LATAM Airlines Group’s liquidation, the holders of fully paid common shares would participate pro rata in the distribution of assets remaining after payment of all creditors. Holders of shares not fully paid will participate in such distribution in proportion to the amount paid.

Approval of Financial Statements

The board of directors is required to submit our consolidated financial statements to the shareholders for their approval at the annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting. If the shareholders reject the financial statements, the board of directors must submit new financial statements not later than sixty days from the date of that meeting. If the shareholders reject the new financial statements, the entire board of directors is deemed removed from office and a new board is to be elected at the same meeting. Directors who approved such financial statements are disqualified for re-election for the ensuing period.

Right of Dissenting Shareholders to Tender Their Shares

The Chilean Corporation Law provides that, upon the adoption at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders of any of the resolutions or if it takes place any of the situations enumerated below, dissenting or affected shareholders acquire the right to withdraw and to compel the company to repurchase their shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions. However, such right shall be suspended if we are declared bankrupt or are subject to a

creditor’s agreement pursuant to Title XII of Book IV of the Commerce Code. In the case of holders of ADRs, however, in order to exercise such rights, holders of ADRs would be required to first withdraw the common shares represented by the ADRs pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement. Such holders of ADRs would need to perfect the withdrawal of the common shares on or before the fifth business day prior to the date of the meeting.

“Dissenting shareholders” are defined as those who attend a shareholders’ meeting and vote against a resolution which results in the withdrawal right, or, if absent at such a meeting, those who state in writing to the company their opposition to such resolution within the following thirty days. Dissenting shareholders must perfect their withdrawal rights by tendering their stock to the company within thirty days after adoption of the resolution.

The price paid to a dissenting shareholder of a publicly held corporation is the weighted average of the sales prices for the shares as reported on the Chilean stock exchanges on which the shares are quoted for the two-month period preceding the event giving rise to the withdrawal right. If, because of the volume, frequency, number and diversity of the buyers and sellers, the SVS determines that the shares are not shares actively traded on a stock exchange (acciones de transacción bursátil), the price paid to the dissenting shareholder is the book value. Book value for this purpose equals paid capital plus reserves and profits, less losses, divided by the total number of subscribed shares (whether entirely or partially paid). For the purpose of making this calculation, the last annual balance sheet is used and adjusted to reflect inflation up to the date of the shareholders’ meeting that gave rise to the withdrawal right.

The resolutions and situations that result in a shareholder’s right to withdraw are the following:

 

the transformation of the company into an entity that is not a publicly held corporation governed by the Chilean Corporation Law;

 

the merger of the company with or into another company;

 

the conveyance of 50% or more of the assets of the company, whether or not such sale includes the company’s liabilities;

 

the adoption or amendment of any business plan which contemplates the conveyance of assets in excess of the foregoing percentage;

the conveyance of 50% or more of the assets of a subsidiary, if the latter represents at least 20% of our assets;

 

the conveyance of shares of a subsidiary which entails the transfer of control;

 

the creation of preferential rights for a class of shares or an extension, amendment or reduction to those already existing, in which case the right to withdraw only accrues to the dissenting shareholders of the class or classes of shares adversely affected;

 

the correction of any formal defect in the incorporation of the company or any amendment to the company’s by-laws that grants the right to withdraw;

 

the granting of security interests or personal guarantees to secure or guarantee third parties’ obligations exceeding 50% of the company’s assets, except with regard to subsidiaries;

 

resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting approving the decision to make private a public corporation in the case the requirements set forth in “—General” cease to be met;

 

if a publicly-traded company ceases to be obligated to register its shares in the Securities Registry of the SVS, and an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting agrees to de-register the shares and finalize its disclosure obligations mandated by the Corporation Law;

if the controlling shareholder of a publicly-traded company reaches over 95% of the shares (in such case, the right must be exercised within 30 days of the date in which the threshold is reached, circumstance that must be communicated by means of a publication); and

 

such other causes as may be established by the company’s by-laws (no such additional resolutions currently are specified in our by-laws).

In addition, shareholders of publicly held corporations have the right to withdraw if a person acquires two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of such corporation with the right to vote (except as a result of other shareholders not having subscribed and paid a capital increase) and does not make a tender offer for the remaining shares within thirty days after acquisition.

Under Article 69(bis) of the Chilean Corporation Law, the right to withdraw also is granted to shareholders (other than pension funds that administer private pension plans under the national pension law), under certain terms and conditions, if a company were to become controlled by the Chilean government, directly or through any of its agencies, and if two independent rating agencies downgrade the rating of its stock from first class because of certain actions specified in Article 69(bis) undertaken by the company or the Chilean government that affect negatively and substantially the earnings of the company. Shareholders must perfect their withdrawal rights by tendering their shares to the company within thirty days of the date of the publication of the new rating by two independent rating agencies. If the withdrawal right is exercised by a shareholder invoking Article 69(bis), the price paid to the dissenting shareholder shall be the weighted average of the sales price for the shares as reported on the stock exchanges on which the company’s shares are quoted for the six-month period preceding the publication of the new rating by two independent rating agencies. If, as previously described, the SVS determines that the shares are not actively traded on a stock exchange, the price shall be the book value calculated as described above.

There is no legal precedent as to whether a shareholder that has voted both for and against a proposal (such as the depositary) may exercise withdrawal rights with respect to the shares voted against the proposal. As such, there is doubt as to whether holders of ADRs who have not surrendered their ADRs and withdrawn common shares on or before the fifth business day prior to the shareholder meeting will be able to exercise withdrawal rights either directly or through the depositary with respect to the shares represented by ADRs. Under the provisions of the deposit agreement the depositary will not exercise these withdrawal rights.

The circumstance indicated above regarding ownership in excess of 95% by the controlling shareholder creates not only a withdrawal right for the remaining minority shareholders, but as of January 1, 2010, it also creates a “squeeze out” right by the controlling shareholder with respect to those same shareholders (granting a call option by means of which the controlling shareholder may buy-out the existing ownership participations pursuant to the provisions of article 71 bis of the Corporation Law).

D. Exchange Controls

Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile

The Central Bank of Chile is responsible, among other things, for monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile. Equity investments, including investments in shares of stock by persons who are non-Chilean residents, have been generally subject in the past to various exchange control regulations restricting the repatriation of their investments and the earnings thereon.

Article 47 of the Central Bank Act and former Chapter XXVI of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations regulated the foreign exchange aspects of the issuance of ADSs by a Chilean company until April 2001. According to former Chapter XXVI, the Central Bank of Chile and the depositary had to enter into an agreement in order to gain access to the formal exchange market. The issuers of the shares underlying the ADSs and the custodian could also be parties to these agreements and we are party to such agreement.agreements.

On April 16, 2001, the Central Bank of Chile agreed that, effective April 19, 2001:

 

prior foreign exchange restrictions would be eliminated: and

 

  

a new Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales) would be applied.

The main objective of these amendments, as declared by the Central Bank of Chile, is to facilitate movement of capital in and out of Chile and to encourage foreign investment.

In connection with the change in policy, the Central Bank of Chile eliminated the following restrictions:

 

a reserve requirement with the Central Bank of Chile for a period of one year (this mandatory reserve was imposed on foreign loans and funds brought into Chile to purchase shares other than those acquired in the establishment of a new company or in the capital increase of the issuing company; the reserve requirement was gradually decreased from 30% of the proposed investment to 0%);

 

the requirement of prior approval by the Central Bank of Chile for certain operations;

 

mandatory return of foreign currency to Chile; and

 

mandatory conversion of foreign currency into Chilean pesos.

Under the new regulations, only the following limitations apply to these operations:

 

the Central Bank of Chile must be provided with information related to certain operations; and

 

certain operations must be conducted with the Formal Exchange Market.

The Central Bank of Chile also eliminated Chapter XXVI of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations, which regulated the establishment of an ADR facility by a Chilean company. Pursuant to the new rules, it is no longer necessary to seek the Central Bank of Chile’s prior approval in order to establish an ADR facility nor to enter into a foreign investment contract with the Central Bank of Chile. The establishment of an ADR facility is now regarded as an ordinary foreign investment, and simply requires that the Central Bank of Chile be informed of the transaction pursuant to Chapter XIV of the amended Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations and that the foreign currency transactions related thereby be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market.

However, all contracts executed under the provisions of former Chapter XXVI (including the foreign investment contract among LanLATAM Airlines Group, the Central Bank of Chile and the ADS depositary, or the “Foreign Investment Contract”), remainremained in full force and effect and continuecontinued to be governed by the provisions, and continuecontinued to be subject to the restrictions, set forth in former Chapter XXVI at the time of its abrogation. Our Foreign Investment Contract guaranteesguaranteed ADS investors access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert amounts from Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars and repatriate amounts received with respect to deposited common shares or common shares withdrawn from deposit or surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying common shares and any rights arising from them).

The guarantee of access to the Formal Exchange Market under the Foreign Investment Contract requires compliance of the following conditions:

the funds to purchase the common shares underlying the ADSs are brought into Chile and converted into Chilean pesos through the Formal Exchange Market;

the purchase of the underlying common shares is made on a Chilean stock exchange; and

within five business days from conversion of the funds into Chilean pesos, the Central Bank of Chile is informed that the conversion funds were used to purchase the underlying common shares.

The following is a summary of material provisions of the Foreign Investment Contract, a form of which was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-7750) that we filed on October 10, 1997 in connection with our November 6, 1997 offering. This summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to former Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract.

Under former Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract, the Central Bank of Chile agreed to grant to the depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, and to any investor not residing or domiciled in Chile who withdraws common shares upon surrender of ADRs, access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars (and to remit those dollars outside Chile) in respect of common shares represented by ADSs or withdrawn shares, including amounts received as:

cash dividends;

proceeds from the sale in Chile of withdrawn shares or from shares distributed as a result of a liquidation, merger or consolidation of Lan Airlines (subject to receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the holder of the withdrawn shares or the distributed shares (or from an institution authorized by the Central Bank of Chile) that the holder’s residence and domicile are outside of Chile, and a certificate from a Chilean stock exchange (or from a brokerage or securities firm established in Chile) that the withdrawn shares or the distributed shares were sold on a Chilean stock exchange);

proceeds from the sale in Chile of preemptive rights to subscribe for additional common shares;

proceeds from the liquidation, merger or consolidation of Lan Airlines;

proceeds from the sale in Chile of common shares received as a dividend; and

other distributions, including those in respect of any recapitalization resulting from holding common shares represented by ADSs or withdrawn shares.

Former Chapter XXVI provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with dividend payments is conditioned on our certifying to the Central Bank of Chile that a dividend payment has been made and that any applicable tax has been withheld. We agreed to provide this certification. former Chapter XXVI also provides that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with the sale of withdrawn shares, or distribution on them, is conditioned upon receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certification by the depositary or custodian, as the case may be, that the common shares have been withdrawn in exchange for delivery of the appropriate ADRs and receipt of a waiver of the benefit of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect to them (except in connection with the proposed sale of the common shares) until the withdrawn shares are redeposited.

Former Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract provided that a person who brings foreign currency into Chile to purchase common shares pursuant to the Foreign Investment Contract must convert that foreign currency into Chilean pesos on the date of entry into Chile, and must invest in common shares within five banking business days in order to receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract. If a person does not invest in common shares within that period, that person can access the Formal Exchange Market to reacquire foreign currency, provided that the request is presented to the Central Bank of Chile within seven banking business days of the initial conversion into pesos. Common shares acquired as described above may be deposited in exchange for ADRs and will receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract, subject to:

receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the depositary that the common shares have been deposited and that the related ADRs have been issued; and

receipt by the custodian of a declaration from the person making the deposit waiving the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect to the deposited common shares.

Access to the Formal Exchange Market under any of the circumstances described above is not automatic. Pursuant to former Chapter XXVI, such access required approval of the Central Bank of Chile based on a request presented through a banking institution established in Chile. The Foreign Investment Contract provides that if the Central Bank of Chile has not acted on the request within seven banking days, the request is deemed approved.

Under current Chilean law, the Foreign Investment Contract cannot be changed unilaterally by the Central Bank of Chile. We cannot guarantee, however, that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, the disposition of the common shares underlying ADSs or the repatriation of the proceeds from an acquisition, a disposition or a dividend payment, will not be imposed or required in the future, nor could we make an assessment as to the duration or impact, were any such restrictions to be imposed or required. On May 10, 2007, the Council of the Central Bank of Chile agreed to grant the Chilean companies that increased their capital stock between the date of the agreement and August 31, 2007 the option to request, on a one-time only basis, the application of Chapter XXVI to those shares issued and actually paid before August 31, 2008 (assuming prior fulfillment of the requirements of the Central Bank of Chile).

On May 10, 2007, the Board of the Central Bank of Chile resolved to interpret the regulations regarding the former Chapter XXVI in connection with the access granted to the Formal Exchange Market. These regulations allowed entities that carry out capital increases by means of the issuance of cash shares before August 31, 2007 to apply the aforementioned regulation to their capital increases, but only once and only if those shares can be fully subscribed and paid by August 31, 2008, among other conditions. Consequently, capital increases carried out after August 31, 2007 will have no guaranteed access to the Formal Exchange Market. Furthermore, there is no assurance that (i) additional Chilean restrictions may be inapplicable to the holders of ADRs, (ii) the disposition of underlying shares or the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition will be subject to restrictions in the future, and (iii) we cannot assess the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed. Furthermore,

On October 17, 2012, the Central Bank of Chile, interpreted in December 9, 2004, that new shares issued by Chilean banking institutions in connection with a merger of an issuer of ADSs that has previously executed a Foreign Investment Contract with the Central Bank of Chile with another company, are not covered by the terms of such Foreign Investment Contract. The Central Bank of Chile granted to Chilean banking institutions onlydepositary and for a term of 90-days from December 9, 2004, the option to subject to the Foreign Investment Contract any shares issued as a result of a merger after the execution of such contract.

Therefore, any shares to be issued by LAN pursuant to the exchange offer and the mergers will not be covered by the Foreign Investment Contract. Based on the foregoing, and in order for all ADS to be subject to the same exchange control regime, LAN’s Board of Directors has resolved to enterLATAM Airlines Group entered into a termination agreement within respect to the Foreign Investment Contract.of LATAM’s existing foreign investment contract. ADR holders will bewere notified about this termination in accordance towith Section 16 of the depositary agreement. See item 3. “D Risks Relating to Exchange Offer and Mergers involving TAM S.A.” for a description of the exchange offer and the mergers.

Deposit Agreement. Upon termination of the Foreign Investment Contract,foreign investment contract, holders of ADSs and the ADR program will bedepositary no longer have guaranteed access to the Formal Exchange Market. Currently, the ADS facility is governed by Chapter XIV of the Compendium on “Regulations applicable to Credits, Deposits, Investments and Capital Contributions from Abroad”.Abroad.” According to Chapter XIV, the establishment or maintenance of an ADR programADS facility is regarded as an ordinary foreign investment, and it is not necessary to seek the Central Bank of Chile’s prior approval in order to establish an ADRADS facility. The establishment or maintenance of an ADRADS facility only requires that the Central Bank of Chile be informed of the transaction, and that the foreign currency transactions related thereby be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market.

Investment in Our Shares and ADRs after the mergersbusiness combination with TAM

InvestmentsAs a result of the merger with TAM, investments made in shares of our common stock after the mergers will beare subject to the following requirements:

 

any foreign investor acquiring shares of our common stock who brought funds into Chile for that purpose must bring those funds through an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market;

any foreign investor acquiring shares of our common stock to be converted into ADSs or deposited into an ADR program who brought funds into Chile for that purpose must bring those funds through an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market;

 

in both cases, the entity of the Formal Exchange Market through which the funds are brought into Chile must report such investment to the Central Bank of Chile;

 

all remittances of funds from Chile to the foreign investor upon the sale of the acquired shares of our common stock or from dividends or other distributions made in connection therewith must be made through the Formal Exchange Market;

 

all remittances of funds from Chile to the foreign investor upon the sale of shares underlying ADSs or from dividends or other distributions made in connection therewith must be made through the Formal Exchange Market; and

 

all remittances of funds made to the foreign investor must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile by the intervening entity of the Formal Exchange Market.

When funds are brought into Chile for a purpose other than to acquire shares to convert them into ADSs or deposit them into an ADR program and subsequently such funds are used to acquire shares to be converted into ADSs or deposited into an ADR program such investment must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile by the custodian within 10 days following the end of each month within which the custodian is obligated to deliver periodic reports to the Central Bank of Chile.

When funds to acquire shares of our common stock or to acquire shares to convert them into ADSs or deposit them into an ADR program are received by us abroad (i.e., outside of Chile), such investment must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile directly by the foreign investor or by an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market within ten days following the end of the month in which the investment was made.

All payments in foreign currency in connection with our shares of common stock or ADSs made from Chile through the Formal Exchange Market must be reported to the Central Bank of Chile by the entity participating in the transaction. In the event there are payments made outside of Chile, the foreign investor must provide the relevant information to the Central Bank of Chile directly or through an entity of the Formal Exchange Market within the first ten calendar days of the month following the date on which the payment was made.

There can be no assurance that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADSs, the disposition of shares of our common shares underlying ADSs or the conversion or repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition will not be imposed in the future, nor can we assess the duration or impact of such restriction if imposed.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to Chapter XIV of the Central Bank of Chile’s Foreign Exchange Regulations, a copy of which is available in Spanish and English versions at the Central Bank’s website at www.bcentral.cl.

Voting Rights

Holders of our ADSs, which represent common shares, may instruct the depositary to vote the shares underlying their ADRs. If we ask holders for instructions, the depositary will notify such holders of the upcoming vote and arrange to deliver our voting materials to such holders. The materials will describe the matters to be voted on and explain how holders may instruct the depositary to vote the shares or other deposited securities underlying their ADSs as they direct by a specified date. For instructions to be valid, the depositary must receive them on or before the date specified as “Vote Cut-Off Date.” The depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to Chilean law and the provisions of our by-laws, to vote or to have its agents vote the shares or other deposited securities as holders instruct. Otherwise, holders will not be able to exercise their right to vote unless they withdraw the shares. However, holders may not know about the meeting far enough in advance to withdraw the shares. We will use our best efforts to request that the depositary notify holders of upcoming votes and ask for their instructions.

If the depositary does not receive voting instructions from a holder by the specified date, it will consider such holder to have authorized and directed it to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by our board of directors to vote the number of deposited securities represented by such holder’s ADSs. The depositary will give a discretionary proxy in those circumstances to vote on all questions to be voted upon unless we notify the depositary that:

 

we do not wish to receive a discretionary proxy;

 

we think there is substantial shareholder opposition to the particular question; or

 

we think the particular question would have an adverse impact on our shareholders.

The depositary will only vote or attempt to vote as such holder instructs or as described above.

We cannot assure holders that they receive the voting materials in time to ensure that they can instruct the depositary to vote their shares. This means that holders may not be able to exercise their right to vote and there may be nothing they can do if their shares are not voted as they requested.

Exchange Rates

Prior to 1989, Chilean law permitted the purchase and sale of foreign exchange only in those cases explicitly authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. The Central Bank Act liberalized the rules that govern the ability to buy and sell foreign currency. The Central Bank Act empowers the Central Bank of Chile to determine that certain purchases and sales of foreign currency specified by law must be carried out exclusively in the Formal Exchange Market, which is made up of the banks and other entities authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. All payments and distributions with respect to the ADSs must be conducted exclusively in the Formal Exchange Market.

For purposes of the operation of the Formal Exchange Market, the Central Bank of Chile sets a reference exchange rate (dólar acuerdo). The Central Bank of Chile resets the reference exchange rate monthly, taking internal and external inflation into account, and adjusts the reference exchange rate daily to reflect variations in parities between the Chilean peso, the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen and the European euro.

The observed exchange rate (dólar observado) is the average exchange rate at which transactions were actually carried out in the Formal Exchange Market on a particular day, as certified by the Central Bank of Chile on the next banking day.

Prior to September 3, 1999, the Central Bank of Chile was authorized to buy or sell dollars in the Formal Exchange Market to maintain the observed exchange rate within a specified range above or below the reference exchange rate. On September 3, 1999, the Central Bank of Chile eliminated the exchange band. As a result, the Central Bank of Chile may buy and sell foreign exchange in the Formal Exchange Market in order to maintain the observed exchange rate at a level the Central Bank of Chile determines.

Purchases and sales of foreign exchange may be effected outside the Formal Exchange Market through the Informal Exchange Market (Mercado Cambiario Informal) established by the Central Bank in 1990. There are no limits on the extent to which the rate of exchange in the Informal Exchange Market can fluctuate above or below the observed exchange rate.

Although our results of operations have not been significantly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the peso and the U.S. dollar because our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, we are exposed to foreign exchange losses and gains due to exchange rate fluctuations. Even though the majority of our revenues are denominated in or pegged to the U.S. dollar, the Chilean government’s economic policies affecting foreign exchange and future fluctuations in the value of the peso against the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our results of operations and an investor’s return on an investment in ADSs.

E. Taxation

Chilean Tax

The following discussion relates to Chilean income tax laws presently in force, including Ruling No. 324 of January 29, 1990 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“Chilean IRS”) and other applicable regulations and rulings, all of which are subject to change. The discussion summarizes the principal Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in the ADSs or common shares by a person who is neither domiciled in, nor a resident of, Chile or by a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a branch or a permanent establishment located in Chile (such an individual or entity is referred to herein as a Foreign Holder). For purposes of Chilean tax law, an individual holder is a resident of Chile if such person has resided in Chile for more than six consecutive months in one calendar year or for a total of six months, whether consecutive or not, in two consecutive tax years. In addition, an individual is considered domiciled in Chile in case he or she resides in Chile with the actual or presumptive intent of staying in the country. The discussion is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation.

Under Chilean law, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign investors, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may only be amended by another statute. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities enact rulings and regulations of either general or specific application and interpret the provisions of Chilean tax law. Chilean tax may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings, regulations and

interpretations, but Chilean tax authorities may change these rulings, regulations and interpretations prospectively. On February 4, 2010, representatives of the governments of the United States and Chile signed an income tax treaty. The new treaty, will have to be approvedwhich takes effect only upon ratification by the U.S. Senate.both countries.

Cash Dividends and Other Distributions

Cash dividends we pay with respect to the ADSs or common shares held by a Foreign Holder will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, which we withhold and pay over to the Chilean tax authorities and which we refer to as the Withholding Tax. A

credit against the Withholding Tax is available based on the level of corporate income tax we actually paid on the income to be distributed (referred to herein as the First Category Tax); however, this credit does not reduce the Withholding Tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases the base on which the Withholding Tax is imposed. If we register net income but taxable losses, no credit against the Withholding Tax will be available. In addition, if we distribute less than all of our distributable income, the credit for First Category Tax we pay is proportionately reduced. In 2011 the First Category Tax rate was 20%.,Last year, law 20.630 modified and 18.5% for fiscal year 2012. From 2013 onwards,fixed the rate provisional of First Category Tax will revert backthe first category tax from 18.5% to 17%. 20% from 2012 onwards.

In general, the example below illustrates the effective Withholding Tax burden on a cash dividend received by a Foreign Holder, assuming a Withholding Tax rate of 35%, ana First Category Tax rate of 17%20%, and a distribution of 30% of the consolidated net income of the Company after payment of the First Category Tax:

   100.00  

First Category Tax (17%(20% of Ch$100)

   (1720

Net distributable income

   83.0080.00  

Dividend distributed (30% of net distributable income)

   24.924

Net tax withheld

   (5.44.5

Net dividend received

   19.5  

Effective dividend withholding rate

   21.6918.75

In general, the effective dividend Withholding Tax rate, after giving effect to the credit for the First Category Tax, can be calculated using the following formula:

(Withholding Tax rate) – (First Category Tax effective rate)

1 – (First Category Tax effective rate)

Under Chilean income tax law, dividends generally are assumed to have been paid out of our oldest retained profits for purposes of determining the level of First Category Tax that we paid. The effective rate of Withholding Tax to be imposed on dividends we pay will vary depending upon the amount of First Category Tax we paid (if any) on the earnings to which the dividends are attributed, according to the Company’s Taxable Profit Fund. The Effective Withholding Tax rate for dividends attributed to earnings from 1991 until 2001, for which the First Category Tax rate was 15%, which resultresults in aan effective rate of 23.5%. For 2002, the First Category Tax rate was 16.0%, which results in an effective rate of 22.62%. In 2003, the First Category Tax rate was 16.5%, which results in an effective rate of 22.16%, from 2004 until 2010, the First Category Tax rate was 17%, which results in an effective rate of Withholding Tax of 21.69%, In 2011 the First Category Tax rate was 20%, which results in an effective rate of Withholding Tax of 18.75%. In 2012 the First category Tax rate was 20%, which results in aan effective rate of Withholding Tax of 18,75%. In 2012 the First category Tax rate will be 18,5%, which results in a effective rate of Withholding Tax of 20,25%18.75%. From 2013 onwards the First category Tax rate will be 17%20%, which results in aan effective rate of Withholding Tax of 21,69%18.75%,

For dividends attributable to our profits during years when the First Category Tax was 10% (before 1991), the effective rate will be 27.8%. However, whether the First Category Tax is 10%, 15%, 16%, 16.5% or 17%, the effective overall combined tax rate imposed on our distributed profits will be 35%. In the event that profits from previous years are not sufficient to cover a particular dividend, and the dividend is attributable to the current year, we will generally withhold tax from the dividend at the full 35% rate. If as of December 31 of the year in which the dividend is paid, the withholding is determined to be excessive taking into account First Category Tax, holders may file for a refund.

Dividend distributions made in property would be subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends based on the fair market value of such property. Stock dividends and the distribution of preemptive rights are not subject to Chilean taxation.

Capital Gains

Gain from the sale or other disposition by a Foreign Holder of ADRs evidencing ADSs outside Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation. The deposit and withdrawal of common shares in exchange for ADRs will not be subject to any Chilean taxes.

Gain recognized on a sale or disposition of common shares (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADRs evidencing ADSs representing such common shares) may be subject to both the First Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter) if:

 

the Foreign Holder has held the common shares for less than one year since exchanging ADSs for the Shares;shares;

the Foreign Holder acquired and disposed of the common shares in the ordinary course of its business or as a habitual trader of shares; or

 

the Foreign Holder and the purchaser of the common shares are “related parties” or has an interest in the latter within the meaning of Article 17, Number 8, of the Chilean Income Tax Law.

In all other cases, gain on the disposition of common shares will be subject only to a flat capital gains tax which is assessed at the same rate as the First Category Tax as sole income tax (currently imposed at a rate(18.5% or 20% for 2011, 18.5% forin 2012, and 17% from 2013 onwards)onwards 20%) and no withholding tax will apply. The sale of shares of common stock by a Foreign Holder to an individual or entity resident or domiciled in Chile is subject to a provisional withholding. Such a provisional withholding will be equal to (i) 5% of the total (sale price) amount, without any deduction, paid to, credited to, account for, put at the disposal of, or corresponding to, the Foreign Holder if the transaction is subject to the First Category Tax, as a sole tax. Unless the gain subject to taxation can be determined, case in which the withholding is equal to 17%, 20% or 18,5%18.5% (this last rate if the sale was between January to August 2012) , whichever is applicable, on the gain, or (ii) 20% of the total amount (the sale price without any deduction), paid to, credited to, account for, put at the disposal of, or corresponding to, the Foreign Holder if the transaction is subject to the general tax regime, that is, the First Category Tax, and the Withholding Tax, with a credit of the First Category Tax already paid. The Foreign Holder would be entitled to request a tax refund for any amounts withheld in excess of the taxes actually due, in April of the following year upon filing its corresponding tax return. Gain recognized in the transfer of common shares that have a high presence in the stock exchange, however, is not subject to capital gains tax in Chile, provided that the common shares are transferred in a local stock exchange, in other authorized stock exchanges or within the process of a public tender of common shares governed by the Securities Market Law.

Chile’s Internal Revenue Service Ruling Nº224 (issued on January 30, 2008) confirmed that capital gains stemming from the sale of shares with high stock-market presence acquired through the exchange of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) for shares is not subject to capital gains tax in Chile. Such exemption is applicable provided that the purchase of such ADR certificates has been made at stock exchanges duly authorized by SVS (which includes the New York Stock Exchange).

The common shares must also have been acquired either in a stock exchange, within the process of a public tender of common shares governed by the Securities Market Law, in an initial public offer of common shares resulting from the formation of a corporation or a capital increase of the same, or in an exchange of convertible bonds. Shares are considered to have a high presence in the stock exchange when they:

 

are registered in the Securities Registry;

 

are registered in a Chilean Stock exchange; and

have an adjusted presence equal to or above 25%.

To calculate the adjusted presence of a particular share, the aforementioned regulation first requires a determination of the number of days in which the operations regarding the stock exceeded, in Chilean pesos, the equivalent of 2001,000 UF (US$9,21944,432 as of March 28, 2012)December 31, 2013) within the previous 180 business days of the stock market. That number must then be divided by 180, multiplied by 100, and expressed in a percentage value. This tax regime does not apply if the transaction involves an amount of shares that would allow the acquirer to take control of the publicly traded corporation, in which case the ordinary tax regime referred to in the previous paragraph will apply, unless the transfer is part of a tender offer governed by the Securities Market Law or the transfer is done on a Chilean stock exchange, without substantially exceeding the market price.

Capital gains obtained in the sale of shares that are publicly traded and have a high presence in a stock exchange are also exempt from capital gains tax in Chile when the sale is made by “foreign institutional investors” such as mutual funds and pension funds, provided that the sale is made in a stock exchange or in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Market Law, or in any other form authorized by the SVS. To qualify as a foreign institutional investor, an entity must be formed outside of Chile, not have a domicile in Chile, and must be at least one of the following:

 

a fund that offers its common shares or quotas publicly in a country with investment grade public debt, according to a classification performed by an international risk classification entity registered with the SVS;

 

a fund registered with a regulatory agency or authority from a country with investment grade public debt, according to a classification performed by an international risk classification entity registered with the SVS, provided that its investments in Chile constitute less than 30% of the share value of the fund, including deeds issued abroad representing Chilean securities, such as ADRs of Chilean companies;

 

a fund whose investments in Chile represent less than 30% of the share value of the fund, including deeds issued abroad representing Chilean securities, such as ADRs of Chilean companies, provided that not more than 10% of the share value of the fund is directly or indirectly owned by Chilean residents;

 

a pension fund that is formed exclusively by natural persons that receive pensions out of an accumulated capital in the fund;

a Foreign Capital Investment Fund, as defined in Law No. 18,657, in which case all quota holders shall be Chilean residents or domestic institutional investors; or

 

any other foreign institutional investor that complies with the requirements set forth in general regulations for each category of investor or prior information from the SVS and the Chilean IRS.

The foreign institutional investor must not directly or indirectly participate in the control of the corporations issuing the shares it invests in, nor possess or participate in 10% or more of the capital or the profits of such corporations.

Another requirement for the exemption is that the foreign institutional investor must execute a written contract with a bank or a stock broker incorporated in Chile. In this contract, the bank or stock broker must undertake to execute purchase and sale orders, verify the applicability of the tax exemption or tax withholding and inform the Chilean IRS of the investors it works with and the transactions it performs. Finally, the foreign institutional investor must register with the Chilean IRS by means of a sworn statement issued by such bank or stock broker.

The tax basis of common shares received in exchange for ADRs will be the acquisition value of the common shares on the date of exchange duly adjusted for local inflation. The valuation procedure set forth in the deposit agreement, which values common shares which are being exchanged at the highest price at which they trade on the SSE on the date of the exchange, will determine the acquisition value for this purpose. Consequently, the surrender of ADRs for common shares and the immediate sale of the common shares for the value established under the

Deposit Agreement will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile, provided that the sale of the common shares is made on the same date on which the exchange of ADRs for common shares is recorded, or if the price of the common shares at the exchange date, as determined above, is higher than the price at which the common shares are sold.

The exercise of preemptive rights relating to the common shares will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Any gain on the sale of preemptive rights relating to the common shares will be subject to both the First Category Tax and the Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter).

Other Chilean Taxes

There are no Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of ADSs by a Foreign Holder, but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by gift of the common shares by a Foreign Holder. There are no Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by Foreign Holders of ADSs or common shares.

Withholding Tax Certificates

Upon request, we will provide to Foreign Holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of the Withholding Tax (net of the applicable First Category Tax).

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant toThis section describes the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares and ADSs by a beneficial owner that is: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of thematerial United States any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) a trust if (a) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person or (iv) an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income regardless of its source. For purposes of this discussion, we refer to these owners of common shares and ADSs as U.S. Holders.

This summary is not a comprehensive discussion of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to your decision to purchase ADSs or common shares. In particular, this discussion is directed only to U.S. Holders that will hold ADSs or common shares as capital assets and it does not address any special U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to a U.S. Holders thatholder (as defined below) of owning common shares or ADSs. It applies to you only if you hold your common shares or ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a special class of holders subject to special treatment underrules, including:

a dealer in securities,

a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings,

a tax-exempt organization,

a life insurance company,

a person liable for alternative minimum tax,

a person that actually or constructively owns 10% or more of our voting stock,

a person that holds common shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,

a person that purchases or sells common shares or ADSs as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or

a U.S. holder (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), including, but not limited to banks or other financial institutions, regulated investment companies, entities that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships or other pass-through entities, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, brokers or dealers in securities or foreign currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, holders that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our voting common stock, holders that acquired ADSs or common shares pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation, persons holding ADSs or common shares as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or a straddle, or persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. If a partnership holds ADSs or common shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A prospective investor who is a partner of a partnership holding our ADSs or common shares should consult its own tax advisor.

The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. treasury regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified (with possiblecurrently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive effect) so as to resultbasis. As described above in U.S. federal“—Taxation—Chilean Tax”, there is currently no comprehensive income tax consequences different from those discussed below.treaty in effect between the United States and Chile. In addition, this section is based in part upon the representations of the depositaryDepositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreements relating to the ADRsDeposit Agreement and any related agreementsagreement will be performed in accordance with theirits terms.

HOLDERS AND/OR PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OFIf a partnership holds the common shares or ADSs, OR COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS AS TO THE CHILEAN,the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the common shares or ADSs should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in the common shares or ADSs.

You are a U.S. FEDERAL INCOME OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ADSs OR COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING, IN PARTICULAR, THE EFFECT OF ANY NON-U.S., STATE OR LOCAL TAX LAWS.

The following summary assumes thatholder if you are a beneficial owner of common shares or ADSs and you are:

a citizen or resident of the United States,

a domestic corporation,

an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or

a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state and local and the Chilean and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of common shares areand ADSs in your particular circumstances.

ADSs

In general, and taking into account the earlier assumptions, for United States federal income tax purposes, if you hold ADRs evidencing ADSs, you will be treated as the owner of the common shares represented by those ADRs. Exchanges of common shares for ADRs, and ADRs for common shares, generally will not stockbe subject to United States federal income tax.

Taxation of aDividends

Under the United States federal income tax laws, and subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on our audited financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2010 or 2011 taxable year. In addition, based on our audited financial statements and our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market and shareholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 2012 taxable year. However, there can be no assurance in this regard because the PFIC determination is made annually and is based on the portion of our assets and income that is characterized as passive under the PFIC rules.

ADRs

In general,rules discussed below, if you are a U.S. Holderholder, the gross amount of ADRs evidencing our ADSs, you will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the beneficial owner of the underlying common shares that are represented by those ADSs and evidenced by those ADRs.

Taxation of Dividends

Distributions of cash or property (other than common stock, if any distributed pro rata to all of our shareholders, including holders of ADSs) paiddividend we pay out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S.United States federal income tax purposes) with respectis subject to ADSs or common shares, including the net amount of the Chilean Withholding Tax withheld on the distribution (after taking into account the credit for the First Category Tax), will be included in a U.S. holder’s gross income as ordinary income on the date on which you receive the dividends, in the case of common shares, or the date the depositary receives the dividends, in the case of common shares represented by ADSs, and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code. Dividends paid in Chilean pesos generally will be included in a U.S. holder’s gross income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the U.S. Holder receives the dividends, in the case of common shares, or the date the depositary receives the dividends, in the case of common shares represented by ADSs. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any Chilean pesos received which are converted into U.S. dollars after they are received. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S.United States federal income tax purposes, such excess amounts will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the ADSs or common shares and, thereafter, as capital gain.taxation.

We do not maintain calculations of earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should assume that any distribution made by us (other than common stock distributed pro rata to all our shareholders, as discussed above) will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends received byIf you are a noncorporate U.S. Holder in taxable years before January 1, 2013 with respect toholder, dividends paid on the ADSs that constitute qualified dividend income will be subjecttaxable to taxationyou at a maximum rate of 15%the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains if you hold the dividends are “qualified dividends.”ADSs for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and meet other holding period requirements. Dividends paid on the ADSs will be treated as qualified dividendsdividend income if:

 

the ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States; and

we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a PFIC.

The ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and will qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. Accordingly, we expect that dividends we pay with respect to the ADSs will be qualified dividend income. Because our common shares are not expected to be listed on any U.S.United States securities market, it is unclear whether dividends we pay with respect to the common shares will also be qualified dividend income. If dividends we pay with respect to our common shares are not qualified dividend income, then the U.S. dollar amount of such dividends received with respect to our common sharesby a U.S. holder (including dividends received by a noncorporate U.S. Holder in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013)holder) will be subject to taxation at ordinary income tax rates.

You must include any Chilean tax withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though you do not in fact receive it. The dividend is taxable to you when you, in the case of common shares, or the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, receive the dividend, actually or constructively. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations. The amount of the dividend distribution that you must include in your income as a U.S. holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the Chilean pesos payments made, determined at the spot Chilean pesos/U.S. dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution is includible in your income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date you include the dividend payment in income to the date you convert the payment into U.S. dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of your basis in the common shares or ADSs and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not expect to calculate earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Accordingly, you should expect to generally treat distributions we make as dividends.

Subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions under the Internal Revenue Code, Chilean Withholding Tax withheld from dividendsand paid over to the Chilean tax authorities (after taking into account the credit for the First Category Tax, when it is available) will be treated as a foreign source income tax eligible for creditcreditable or deductible against a U.S. Holder’s U.S.your United States federal income tax liability or for deductionliability. Special rules apply in computing such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal taxable income. Ifdetermining the foreign tax

To the extent a refund of the tax withheld is available to you under Chilean law, as is the case if the amount of Chilean Withholding Tax initially withheld from a dividend is determined to be excessive however (asas described above under “—Taxation—Chilean Taxation—Tax—Cash Dividends and Other Distributions”),Distributions,” the excessamount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be creditableeligible for credit against your United States federal income tax liability.

Dividends will generally be income from sources outside the United States and will, depending on your circumstances, be either “passive” or deductible. For“general” income for purposes of calculatingcomputing the foreign tax credit dividends paid on the common shares will generally constitute foreign source “passive income.” U.S. Holders are not allowed foreign tax credits for withholding taxes imposed in respect of certain short-term or hedged positions in securities and may not be allowed foreign tax credits in respect of arrangements in which their expected economic profit is insubstantial. U.S. Holders are encouragedallowable to consult their tax advisers with regard to the availability of foreign tax credits and the application of the foreign tax credit limitations in light of their particular circumstances.you.

U.S. Holders that receive distributions of additional common shares or rights to subscribe for common shares as part of a pro rata distribution to all our shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of the distributions.

Taxation of Capital Gains or Losses

Capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a noncorporate U.S. Holder generally is subject to preferential tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on such a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition will generally be treated as U.S. source gainincome or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Accordingly, in the case of a disposition of common shares (which, unlike a disposition of ADSs, could be taxable in Chile), a U.S. HolderConsequently, you may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Chilean tax imposed on the disposition of the common shares (see “—Taxation—Chilean Taxation—Capital Gains”) unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources in the appropriate incomelimitation category. The calculation

We believe that common shares and availability of foreign tax credits and, in the caseADSs should not be treated as stock of a U.S. Holder that elects to deduct foreign income taxes, the availability of deductions, involves the application of complex rules that depend on a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors with regard to the availability of foreign tax credits and the application of the foreign tax credit limitations in light of their particular situation.

If we were to be treated as a PFIC, unless you elect to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to your common shares or ADSs, gain realized on the sale or other disposition of your commons shares or ADSs would in general not be treated as capital gain. Instead, if you are a U.S. holder, you would be treated as if you had realized such gain and certain “excess distributions” ratably over your holding period for the commons shares or ADSs and would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, together with an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year. With certain exceptions, your commons shares or ADSs will be treated as stock in a PFIC if we were a PFIC at any time during your holding period in your commons shares or ADSs. Dividends that you receive from us will not be eligible for the special tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income if we are treated as a PFIC with respect to you either in the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, but instead will be taxable at rates applicable to ordinary income.

ITEM 11.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

Given the nature of its business, LANLATAM is exposed mainly to three types of market risks:risk:

 

Jet fuel price fluctuations;

 

Interest rate fluctuations; and

 

Exchange rate fluctuations.

TheManagement assesses the level of our exposure to these risks is periodically assessed to determine the extent to which LANwe should hedge against them and the most effective mechanisms to implement the hedge. LANLATAM purchases derivative instruments in foreign markets to offset market risk exposure, typically utilizing a mixture of call options, collar structures and fixed price swaps agreements. LANLATAM does not enter into or hold derivative contracts for trading purposes.

Risk of Fluctuations in Jet Fuel Prices

Individually, LAN and TAM forecasted fuel consumption for 2013 of 608.9 million and 676.6 million gallons, respectively. Since the combination of their business operations, LATAM has been managing the fuel hedging program for both LAN and TAM, based on an approved policy. LATAM forecasted fuel consumption for 2014 was 1.266 million gallons. This policy aims to hedge approximately 20-60% of our aggregate fuel consumption, using swaps, calls and collars for the expected fuel consumption from 12-24 months.

Jet fuel price fluctuations are largely dependent on supply and demand for crude oil, OPEC decisions, refinery capacities, stock levels of crude oil and geopolitical factors. In order to minimize the risk of jet fuel price fluctuations, LANLATAM hedges against such risk using derivative instruments.

Because jet fuel is not traded in organized futures exchanges, there are limited options to hedge against jet fuel price fluctuations. However, LAN deemsLATAM considers financial derivative instruments in other commodities such as crude oil or heating oil, to be useful for decreasing its exposure to jet fuel price increases.

LANLATAM uses swaps, calls and collars to hedge against fuel prices fluctuations. Swap contracts allow us to eliminate the volatility risk by fixing the price. In a typical swap contract, LANLATAM is compensated if the market price is above the fixed price at certain predetermined dates, or needs toand must make disbursements if the market price is below the fixed price inat those dates. Call options give us protection against rise in prices. Call option are only exercised when the market price is above the predetermined strike price thus providing LANLATAM with protection with no downside risk. Collars are a combination of call and put options that limit the range of possible positive or negative outcomes to a specific price range. Above the predetermined ceiling price, LANLATAM is compensated for the difference between the market price and the ceiling price. For any price below the predetermined floor price, LANLATAM has to disburse the difference between the market price and the floor price.

We aremay be exposed to fuel hedging transaction losses if theour counterparties default. To manage this credit risk, we select counterparties based on their credit ratings and monitor our relative market position on a daily basis. For more information see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Operations and the Airline Industry—Our operations are subject to fluctuations in the supply and cost of jet fuel, which could materiallynegatively impact our businessbusiness”.

During 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 20092011 we entered into a mix of swaps, calls, zero cost collars, three-way collars and collars option contracts on WTI, BRENT and JET FUEL 54 USGC prices with investment banks and other financial entities for notional fuel purchases. In 2011, 397.8 million gallons were purchased, which represented 69.8%Details of our total annualthe fuel consumption; in 2010, 282.7 million gallons were purchased, which represented 55.5% of our fuel consumption; and in 2009, 205.2 million gallons were purchased, which represented 45.7% of our total fuel consumption. The combined result of these contracts was a gain of US$39.9 million in 2011, compared to a gain of US$1 million in 2010 and a loss of US$128.7 million in 2009. hedging program are shown below:

Under IFRS, the fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as a non-current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the item is hedged is overfor more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability if the remaining term of the item hedged isfor less than 12 months. The fair value of the derivative contracts is deferred within an equity reserve account. Please see Note 2.10 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Sensitivity analysis

In order to protect the Company from increases in fuel prices, a portion of the fuel consumption is hedged using a mixture of protective instruments (call, collars) and fixing instruments (swaps). To keep the Company competitive, a portion of the fuel consumption is not hedged, as a drop in fuel prices positively affects the Company through a reduction in costs.

As the current positions do not represent changes in cash flows but a variation in the exposure to the market value, the Company’s current hedge positions have no impact on income (theyincome; they are booked as cash flow hedge contracts, so a variation in fuel prices has an impact on the Company’s net equity).equity.

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments reflectingour hedging contracts to reasonable changes in fuel prices and their effect on equity. The term used for the projection was December 31, 2012,June 30, 2014, the finallast maturity date of the lastour current fuel hedge contract.contracts. The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$5 per barrel in the curve of the WTI, BRENT and JET crude futures benchmark price at the end of December 2011, 20102013, 2012 and 2009.

The Company seeks to reduce the risk of increases in fuel price in order to maintain its competitivity, therefore hedging instruments like swaps, options and collars are used to partially hedge against these fuel price fluctuations.2011.

A vertical increase by US$5 in the WTI and BRENT benchmark price (the monthly daily average) for each month would have meant an additional cost of approximately US$39.5118.5 million of the Company’s total fuel consumption.

Risk of Fluctuations in Interest Rates

As of December 31, 2011, LAN’s debt amounted to2013, LATAM had US$3,516 9,867 million in outstanding interest bearing loans. LANLATAM uses swaps and caps to reduce the impact of an increase of interest rates. AsFollowing the combination of LAN and TAM, LATAM is more exposed to fluctuations of interest rates (before giving effect to swaps), as more than half of TAM’s outstanding debt bears interest at a floating rate. Individually as of December 31, 2011, 82%2013, 52.2% of ourTAM’s outstanding debt is in the form of fixed rate loans, and 77.6% of LAN’s outstanding debt was effectively at fixed rate, either as fixed rate loans or variable rate loans hedged using a floating to fixed rate derivative instrument. On a combined basis, 70% of LATAM outstanding debt as of December 31, 2013 was effectively at fixed rate, either as fixed rate loans or variable rate loans hedged using a floating to fix rate derivative instrument.

GivenLATAM’s interest bearing loans can be classified by: variable interest rate debt, fixed interest rate debt and interest rate hedged debt. LATAM’s variable interest rate debt amounts to US$2,938 million from which 73.9% is assigned to aircraft financing and 26.1% to non-aircraft financing. The fixed interest rate debt amounts to US$ 6,373 million from which 68.3% is assigned to aircraft financing and 31.7% to non-aircraft financing. The interest rate hedged debt amounts to US$ 556 million from which 93.6% is assigned to interest rate swaps and 6.4% to interest rate caps.

Under IFRS, the percentagepositive fair value of our outstanding debt thatthese interest rate swaps is hedgedreflected in the balance sheet as hedging assets and the instruments that we use to hedge, an increase in interest rates has no material impact on LAN’s costs. Under an interest rate swap contract, givennegative fair value of these agreements is reflected as hedging liabilities. As of December 31, 2013, the casefair value of decreases in interest rates, LAN has to pay compensation equal to the difference between the fixed and floating rate times the outstanding debt under the specific contract. However, under such contractsall the interest rate has a floor preventing LAN from incurring major financial losses.swaps was estimated to be -US$96.8 million.

In May 2001, we entered into six swap contracts in order to hedge our floating rate-exposure on US$331 million of our debt. Pursuant to these contracts, we pay or receive, depending on the case, the difference between the agreed fixed rate and the floating rate, calculated on the notional amount of each contract. In October 2005, the Company entered into twoThe interest rate swap contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of two Airbus A319 aircraft delivered in 2005.

In July 2003, we purchased four interest rate cap contracts for a total notional amount of US$127.7 million. These caps are intended to limit the Company’s exposure arising from variable-rate debt. These contracts qualify as cash flow hedges with no ineffectiveness associated to them due to the fact that all critical terms of the debt and the caps match perfectly.are matched. As of December 31, 2011,2013, the fair value of these contracts has beenwas estimated atto be US$9.7 thousand.0.01 million.

The premiums paid on the cap contracts were allocated to individual caplets and recognized in the income statement throughout the term of each contract. Under IAS 39 these derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges even though some ineffectiveness exists as the notional amount over which some caps are calculated is different from the one used to determine the interest and lease payments on the aircraft. For IFRS purposes, there was no amount of ineffectiveness recorded in earnings because the change in fair value of the perfect hypothetical option was greater than the change in the fair value of the Company’s option.

In the first half of 2006, the Company also entered into ten fixed-floating interest rate swap contracts in order to hedge the variable interest payments on the unhedged portion of existing debt of approximately US$46.7 million. Additionally, in May 2006 the Company entered into thirty-two forward starting interest rate swap contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of thirty-two A320-Family Aircraft to be delivered between 2006 and 2009. Out of these thirty-two contracts, twenty-five were contracted directly with the debt provider, while the remaining seven swaps were contracted with a different institution. In 2009 all of the thirty-two aircraft were delivered to the Company. Out of the thirty-two abovementioned contracts, twenty-five were converted into fixed interest rate debt.

In June 2006 the Company entered into eleven forward starting interest rate swap contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of 11 Boeing 767-300 ER aircraft to be delivered between 2006 and 2009. All of those aircraft have already been delivered to the Company, and the corresponding swap and loan were restructured into fixed rate debt.

In August 2007 the Company entered into three forward starting interest rate swaps contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the debt financing of three Boeing 767-300 ER aircraft to be delivered in 2009. This debt allows for conversion of the variable interest rate loan into fixed interest rate debt by capital markets financing after the arrival of the aircraft. As of December 31, 2011, the three aircraft had been delivered to the Company. The first aircraft was refinanced through a fixed interest rate bond issued in December 2009, the second was refinanced through a fixed interest rate bond issued in June 2010 and the third was refinanced through a fixed interest rate bond issued in April 2010. In September 2007, the Company entered into another three forward starting interest rate swaps contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of three Airbus A320-Family Aircraft to be delivered in 2010.

In June 2008, the Company entered into 14 forward starting interest rate swaps contracts in order to hedge the LIBOR exposure of the financing of 12 A320-Family Aircraft that were delivered in 2010 and 2011, two Boeing 767-300 aircraft that were delivered in 2011 and two Boeing 787-8 to be delivered in 2012.

As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of all the aforementioned interest rate swaps was estimated to be a negative US$159.4 million.

Under IFRS, the positive fair value of these interest rate swaps is reflected in the balance sheet as hedging assets and the negative fair value of these agreements is reflected as hedging liabilities.

The utilization of the aforementioned hedging instruments, combined with fixed interest rate financing for two Boeing 767-300 Four aircraft delivered in 2001, 17 Boeing 767-300 Passenger and Freighter aircraft delivered in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 32 Airbus A320-Family Aircraft delivered in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009,financing has enabled the Company to have a predictable interest rate costs, reducing the cash volatility. As of December 2011,31 2013, the average interest rate of our entire outstanding interest-bearing long-term debt rate was 4.5%4.0%.

Risk of Variation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

LANLATAM sells most of its services in U.S. dollars (or prices equivalent to the U.S. dollar), and, afollowing the combination with TAM, in Brazilian real. A large part of its expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars (or its equivalents), particularly fuel costs, aeronautic charges, aircraft leases, insurance and aircraft components and accessories. Of the TotalLATAM’s total expenses, the main item denominated in local currencies is Remunerations. During 2011, 78%employee remuneration.

Since 2012, the proportion of our operating revenues and 53% of our operating expenses were denominated in U.S. dollars.dollars has decreased due to the combination with TAM, increasing our exposure to Brazilian domestic market and Brazilian real as compared to 2011. However, because we conduct business in local currencies in several countries, we face the risk of variations in multiple foreign currency exchange rates. A depreciation of the Chilean peso, the Brazilian real, the Argentine peso, the Mexican peso, the Peruvian nuevo sol, the Venezuelan bolivar or the euro against the U.S. dollar could have an adverse effect on us as part of our revenues and receivables are denominated in those currencies. LANThe Company may enter into derivative contracts to protect against the possible appreciation or depreciation of the currencies against the functional currency of the Company.

Balance sheet exposure of LATAM to the Brazilian real is related to the functional currency of TAM and its balance sheet currency mismatch, as more of TAM’s debt is denominated in U.S. dollars as compared to its assets denominated in U.S. dollars. When the balance sheet denominated in U.S. dollars is translated to Brazilian real, the financial results of TAM may fluctuate and therefore could impact LATAM’s financial results.

The exposure to the Brazilian real in TAM’s balance sheet has constantly been reduced from over US$4.0 billion since the merger in June 2012 to US$2.0 billion as of December 31, 2013. The Company continues working to largely mitigate this exposure to approximately US$0.6 billion by the end of third quarter 2014. The plan includes the execution of the fleet transfer from TAM to LATAM and payment of TAM’s short term debt denominated in USD.

The following table shows the sensitivity of LATAM’s financial results to changes in the R$/US$ exchange rate:

The prices of frequent flyer points of TAM’s subsidiary, Multiplus S.A., are denominated in U.S. dollars. As the functional currency is the Brazilian real, the sale of these frequent flyer points are subject to variations in the R$/US$ exchange rate. To reduce its exposure, Multiplus S.A. has entered into exchange rate collars.

The following table presents the notional amount and the market value of the derivative exchange rate collars for each maturity date. The expiration dates of the derivatives coincide with the probable date of redemption of the frequent flyer points. The redemption of the frequent flyer points are recognized as a highly probable event and will be recognized as income, on average, six months after redemption.

If the Brazilian real appreciates or depreciates by 10% against the U.S. dollar and all other variables are held constant, the financial results of Multiplus S.A. would have varied approximately by US$3.3 million (appreciation)/US$4.2 million (depreciation) for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The profit or losses caused by changes in the fair value of the hedged item are segregated between intrinsic value and time value. The intrinsic value is the percentage of cash flow covered, initially shown in the equity and later transferred to income, while the hedge transaction is recorded as income. The time value corresponds to the ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge and is recognized in the financial results of the Company.

Additionally, one of the LATAM financing sources is the receipt of future flows related dividends and capital distributions that subsidiaries will distribute. These future cash flows vary depending on the evolution of the foreign currency forwardexchange rate compared to US$. The greatest exposure to future cash flows is presented by the subsidiary TAM S.A. and the R$/US$ volatility. In the case of TAM S.A., the earnings are expressed in large proportion in R$, which a large portion of its costs are in US$.

To hedge the investment in subsidiaries and reduce the cash flow volatility, the Company may enter into derivative contracts into protect the mitigate currency appreciation or depreciation against the LATAM functional currency.

In order to convert its deposit in Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars. Asreduce the operational monthly cash flow exposures for 2014, caused by Brazilian real depreciation and ensure economic margin, LATAM hedges the foreign exchange risk using Foreign Exchange (“FX”) Forwards.

At December 31, 2013, the market value of LATAM’s FX positions was US$ 32.1 million (positive). These derivative contracts were entered into by LATAM during 2013, so as of December 31, 2011 we had foreign exchange forward contracts for a2012, LATAM did not have these types of derivatives contracts.

The following table shows both the notional amount of FX Forward positions and average of Forward prices:

If the Brazilian real depreciates against the U.S. dollar, it could adversely affect the Company’s results by increasing costs to LATAM denominated in US$110 million with. However, a market negativedepreciation of the Brazilian real would positively affect the value of US$0.3 million.these derivative positions.

DuringBecause changes in the first halfvalues of 2009,existing positions do not represent changes in cash flow, but a variation in the Company entered into cross currency swaps forexposure of market value, the outstanding hedging positions do not impact results (they are registered as cash flow hedges under IFRS, therefore, a notional amount of US$ 171 million,change in order to hedge significant variationthe exchange rate has an impact on the equity of the cash flows associatedCompany.

ITEM 15.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Controls and Procedures

WeManagement carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including ourthe chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011.2013. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon oursuch evaluation, ourmanagement, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2011,2013, were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

The management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Lan Airlines’LATAM Airlines Group S.A.’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20112013 based on the criteria established in Internal Control - “Integrated Framework”“Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and, based on such criteria, Lan Airlines’LATAM Airlines Group S.A.’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011,2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Company’scompany’s internal control over financial reporting effectiveness as of December 31, 20112013 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores, Auditores y Companía Limitada, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included herein.

G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Comparison

Pursuant to Section 303A.11 of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE, we are required to provide a summary of the significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those required for U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards. We are a Chilean corporation with shares listed on the SSE, the Chilean Electronic Exchange and the Valparaiso Stock Exchange, andour ADSs listed on the NYSE.NYSE and our BDRs listed on Bovespa. Our corporate governance practices are governed by our bylaws, the Chilean Corporation Law and the Securities Market Law.

The table below discloses the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE standards.

 

NYSE Standards  Our Corporate Governance Practice
Director Independence.Majority of board of directors must be independent. §303A.01  Under Chilean law, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors on our board.
  Our board of directors’ committee (all of whom are members of our board of directors) is composed of three directors, two of whom must be independent if we have a sufficient number of independent directors on our board.
  The definition of independence applicable to us pursuant to the Chilean Corporation Law differs in certain respects from the definition applicable to U.S. issuers under the NYSE rules.
  

Pursuant to Law No. 20,382 on Corporate Governance, which came into effect on January 1, 2010, we are also required to have at least one independent director.

Until January 1, 2010, under the Chilean Corporation Law, a director was deemed to be independent if such member would have been elected as a Director at the Shareholders Meeting after excluding the votes of any controlling shareholder or party related to it.

NYSE StandardsOur Corporate Governance Practice
  Starting on January 1, 2010, directors are deemed to be independent if they have not fallen within any of the following categories during the 18 months prior to their election: (i) had a relevant relationship, interest or dependence on us, our subsidiaries, controlling shareholders, main executives, or had served any of the foregoing in a senior position; (ii) had a close family relationship with any of the individuals indicated in (i); (iii) had served in a non-profit organization which received significant funds from the individuals indicated in (i); (iv) had been a partner or shareholder (with a direct or indirect participation in excess of 10%) in, or had a senior position at a company which has rendered significant services to, the individuals indicated in (i); (v) had been a partner or shareholder (with a direct or indirect participation in excess of 10%) in, or had a senior position at, our main competitors, suppliers or clients. In addition, the election of such an independent director is subject to a procedure set forth by the cited Corporation Law.
Executive SessionsSessions..Non-management directors must meet regularly in executive sessions without management. Independent directors should meet alone in an executive session at least once a year. §303A.03  There is no similar requirement under our bylaws or under applicable Chilean law.

NYSE StandardsOur Corporate Governance Practice
Audit committee.Audit committee satisfying the independence and other requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, as amended, and the more stringent requirements under the NYSE standards is required. §§303A.06, 303A.07  We are in compliance with Rule 10A-3. We are not required to satisfy the NYSE independence and other audit committee standards that are not prescribed by Rule 10A-3.
Nominating/corporate governance committee.Nominating/corporate governance committee of independent directors is required. The committee must have a charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. § 303A.04§303A.04  We are not required to have, and do not have, a nominating/corporate governance committee.
Compensation committee.Compensation committee of independent directors is required, which must approve executive officer compensation. The committee must have a charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. §303A.05  We are not required to have a compensation committee. Pursuant to the Chilean Corporation Law, our board of directors’ committee must approve our senior management and employee’s compensation.
Equity compensation plans.Equity compensation plans require shareholder approval, subject to limited exemptions.  Under the Chilean Corporation Law, equity compensation plans require shareholder approval.
Code of Ethics.. Corporate governance guidelines and a code of business conduct and ethics is required, with disclosure of any waiver for directors or executive officers. §303A.10  We have adopted a code of ethics and conduct applicable to our senior management, including our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and our chief accounting officer, as well as to other employees. Our code is freely available online at our website,www.lan.com, www.latamairlinesgroup.net, under the heading “Corporate

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Lan Airlines’ management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on the criteria established in Internal Control—“Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and, based on such criteria, Lan Airlines’ management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The company’s internal control over financial reporting effectiveness as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Consultores, Auditores y Companía Limitada, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Lan Airlines S.A.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lan Airlines S.A. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 32: Financial instruments: Presentation

Issued in December 2011. Clarifies the requirements for off-setting financial assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position. Specifically, that the right to compensation should be available at the reporting date and not depend on a future event. It also indicates that it must be legally binding upon both counterparties in the normal course of business, as well as in the case of default, insolvency or bankruptcy. Early adoption is permitted.

IFRS 9: Financial instruments

Issued in December 2009, this amendment modifies the classification and measurement of financial assets. It establishes two measurement categories: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments are measured at fair value. A debt instrument is measured at amortized cost only if the entity maintains it in order to obtain contractual cash flows and these cash flows represent capital and interest.

This standard was subsequently modified in November 2010 to include the treatment and classification of financial liabilities. For liabilities, the standard carries forward the majority of the requirements established in IAS 39. These include accounting at amortized cost for most financial liabilities, with splitting of embedded derivatives. The principal change is that, where the fair value option is selected for financial liabilities, the part of the change in the fair value attributable to changes in own credit risk for the entity is recognized under other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch.

Early adoption is permitted.

Undetermined
Amendment to IAS 27: Separate financial statements and IFRS 10: Consolidated financial statements and IFRS 12: Disclosure of interests in other entities—Issued in October 2012.

Amendment to IAS 36: Impairment of assets

Issued in May 2013 Modifies recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets in line with the requirements stipulated under IFRS 13. This amendment requires the disclosure of additional information on the recoverable amount of assets that show impairment if this amount is based on fair value minus costs of disposal. It also requests disclosure of items that include the discount rates used in measuring the recoverable amount determined using present value approaches. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company has adopted early this amendment at December 31, 2013.

Amendment to IAS 39: Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement

Issued in June 2013. This standard outlines requirements for the novation of derivatives, permitting continuation of hedge accounting, so as to prevent novations arising as a result of laws and regulations from affecting financial statements. For these purposes, it indicates that hedging instruments shall not be voided or terminated in the event of changes: (a) arising as a result of laws or regulations, if the parties to the hedging instrument agree that a central counterparty or an entity (or entities) act as a counterparty to provide central compensation replacing the original counterparty; (b) otherwise, as applicable, affecting the hedging instruments, limited to such changes as are necessary to conduct such a replacement of the counterparty. These changes include changes in contractual guarantee requirements, accounts receivable and accounts payable compensation rights, taxes, and encumbrances. Early adoption is permitted.

01/01/2014

IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”

Issued in November 2013, the modifications include a substantial overhaul of hedge accounting that will allow entities to better reflect their risk management activities in the financial statements. Additionally, and unrelated to hedge accounting, this modification allows entities to opt for early adoption of the requirement to recognize changes in reasonable value attributable to changes in the credit risk of the entity itself in other comprehensive income (for financial liabilities designated under the fair value option). This modification may be applied without any requirement to adopt the rest of IFRS 9.

Undetermined

Amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

Issued in November 2013, this amendment applies to contributions by employees or third parties to defined benefits plans. The modifications seek to simplify accounting procedures for contributions that are independent of the number of years of service of the employees, such as employee contributions calculated as a fixed percentage of their salaries.

IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment” – The amendment clarifies the definitions of “vesting condition” and “market condition” and adds separate definitions of “performance condition” and “service condition”. This amendment must be applied prospectively for all transaction with share-based payments to vest on or after July 1, 2014. Early adoption is permitted.

IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”—The standard is amended to clarify that contingent consideration that is classified as financial instrument under the test described in IAS 32 “Financial instruments” shall be classed as a financial liability or equity. The standard is also amended to clarify that all non-equity contingent consideration, both financial and non-financial, shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in value imputed to profit or loss.

Therefore, IFRS 9, IAS 37, and IAS 39 are also modified. The amendment is prospectively applicable for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after July 1, 2014. Early adoption is permitted so long as the amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 37, also issued as part of the 2012 improvement plan, are also early adopted.

IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”—The standard is amended to include to disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments.

IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”—When IFRS 13 was published, paragraphs B5.4.12 of IFRS 9 and GA79 of IAS 39 were consequently eliminated. This led to a doubt as to whether entities were no longer permitted to measure short term receivables and payables at invoice amounts if the effect of not discounting is immaterial. The IASB has modified the basis of conclusions of IFRS 13 to clarify that it had no intention of removing the capacity to measure short term receivables and payables at the invoice amount under such circumstances.
IAS 16, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, and IAS 38, “Intangible Assets”—Both of these standards are amended to clarify the treatment of the gross carrying amount and accumulated depreciation when for entities that apply the revaluation model. In these cases, the carrying amount of the asset is updated to the revalued amount, and this revaluation is split between carrying amount and accumulated depreciation in one of the following ways: 1) either the carrying amount is updated in a manner consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount and accumulated depreciation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount after accounting for losses through accumulated impairment; 2) or accumulated depreciation is eliminated, against a charge to the gross carrying amount of the asset. Early adoption is permitted.
IAS 24, “Related Party Disclosures”—The standard is amended to include an entity providing key management personnel services to the reporting entity or the parent of the reporting entity as a related party of the reporting entity. The reporting entity is not obligated to disclose the compensation paid to the workers or administrators of the entity providing key management services, but is obligated to disclose the sums imputed to the reporting entity by the service provider entity for the key management personnel services provided. Early adoption is permitted.

IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”—The amendment clarifies that an entity, in its first IFRS financial statements, has the choice between applying an existing and currently effective IFRS or applying early a new or revised IFRS that is not yet mandatorily effective, provided that the new IFRS permits early application for all applicable periods.
IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”—The standard is amended to clarify that IFRS 3 is not applicable to accounting procedures for the formation of a joint arrangement under IFRS 11. The amendment also clarifies that the exemption to inclusion only applies in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”—The amendment clarifies that the scope of the portfolio exception defined in IFRS 13 includes all contracts accounted for within the scope of IAS 39 or IFRS 9, permitting the reporting entity to measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and liabilities at net value.

The amendment is mandatory for financial reporting periods starting on or after July 1, 2014. An entity must apply the amendments prospectively from the start of the first annual period in which IFRS 13 is applied.

IAS 40 “Investment Property”—The standard is amended to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive. IAS 40 provides guidelines to distinguish between investment properties and properties occupied by their owners. When financial information is prepared, the application guidelines for IFRS 3 must also be applied in order to determine whether or not an investment property is a business combination. The amendment is applicable for financial reporting periods starting on or after July 1, 2014, but may be applied to individual property acquisitions before that date, so long as the information necessary to apply the amendment is available.

2.2.2.2.Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all the entities (including special-purpose entities) over which the Company has the power to control the financial and operating policies, which are generally accompanied by a holding of more than half of the voting rights. In evaluating whether the Company controls another entity, the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible at the date of the consolidated financial statements are considered. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is passed to the Company and they are excluded from the consolidation on the date they cease to be so controlled. The results and flows are incorporated from the date of acquisition.

TheTo account for and identify the financial information to be revealed when carrying out a business combination, such as the acquisition of an entity by the Company, usesshall apply the acquisition-costacquisition method or purchase accountingprovided for in IFRS 3 (or IFRS 3 for its acronym in Spanish—http://www.normasinternacionalesdecontabilidad.es/nic/pdf/niif3.pdf). According to IFRS 3, the purchase of subsidiaries. The cost of acquisition is the fair value of the assets delivered,acquired, the equity instruments issued and the liabilities incurred or assumed on the exchange date.date of the business combination. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially valued at their fair value on the date of acquisition, regardless of the extent of the non-controlling interests. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the Company’s holding in the net identifiable assets acquired is shown as goodwill.Goodwill. If the cost is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is recorded directly in the consolidated statement of income (Note 2.6). The transaction costs in a business combination are recognized in the consolidated income statement when they are incurred. Additionally, IFRS 3 allows adjustments to the initial accounting for a business combination within the period of twelve months from the acquisition date. In connection with the business combination process with TAM SA and Subsidiaries, this period of 12 months from the day June 22, 2012.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the Company’s entities are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment loss of the asset transferred. When necessary in order to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company, the accounting policies of the subsidiaries are modified.

(b) Transactions with non-controlling interests

The Company applies the policy of considering transactions with non-controlling interests, when not related to loss of control, as equity transactions without an effect on income.

(c) Sales of subsidiaries

When a subsidiary is sold and a percentage of participation is not retained, the Company derecognizes assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, the non-controlling and other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any gain or loss resulting from the loss of control is recognized in the consolidated income statement in Other gains (losses).

If LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries retain an ownership of participation in the sold subsidiary, and does not represent control, this is recognized at fair value on the date that control is lost, the amounts previously recognized in Other comprehensive income are accounted as if the Company had disposed directly from the assets and related liabilities, which can cause these amounts are reclassified to profit or loss. The percentage retained valued at fair value are subsequently accounted using the equity method.

(d) Investees or associates

Investees or associates are all entities over which LanLATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries have a significant influence but hashave no control, thiscontrol. This usually arises from a holding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are booked using the equity method and are initially recordedrecognized at their cost.

The participation of LanLATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries in the losses or gains after the acquisition of its investees or associates is shown in results, and its participation in post acquisitionpost-acquisition movements in reserves of investees or associates are shown in reserves.

Post-acquisition movement is adjusted against the carrying amountbook value of the investment. When the participation of LanLATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries in the losses of an investee or associate is equal to or more than its holding in it, including any other non guaranteednon-guaranteed account receivable, LanLATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries will not show the additional losses unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee or associate.

Gains or losses for dilution in investees or associates are shown in the consolidated statement of income.

In the consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of a net investment in foreign entities (or local with a functional currency different to that of the parent), and of loans and other foreign currency instruments designated as hedges for these investments, are recorded within net equity. When the investment is sold, these exchange differences are shown in the consolidated statement of income as part of the loss or gain on the sale.

2.9. Financial assets

2.9.Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and accounts receivablereceivables and financial assets held to maturity. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at the time of initial recognition, which occurs on the date of transaction.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are financial instruments held for trading and those which have been designated as at fair value through profit or loss in their initial classification. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired mainly for the purpose of being sold in the near future or when these assets are managed and measured using fair value. Derivatives are also classified as acquired for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as cashCash and cash equivalents, held for trading, and other financial assets, designated on initial recognition.

(b) Loans and accounts receivablereceivables

Loans and accounts receivablereceivables are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments not traded on an active market. These items are classified in current assets except for those with maturity over 12 months from the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and accounts receivablereceivables are included in trade and other accounts receivable in the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 2.12).

(c)

c) Financial assets held to maturity

Financial assets held to maturity are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company’s management has the positive intention and capacity to hold until their maturity. Should the Company sell a not-insignificant amount of the financial assets held to their maturity, the whole category is reclassified as available for sale. These financial instruments held to maturity are included in non-current assets, except for those maturity equal to or less than 12 months from the consolidated statement of financial position, which are classified as otherOther current financial assets.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial assets andThe financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Held to maturity investments are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate.

LOGO

At the date of each consolidated statement of financial position, the Company assesses if there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may have suffered an impairment loss. For the case of financial assets held to maturity, if there is any evidence of impairment, the amount of the provision is the difference between the book value of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

2.10. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

2.10.  Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are booked initially at fair value on the date the derivative contracts are signed and later they continue to be valued at their fair value. The method for booking the resultant loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and if so, the nature of the item hedged. The Company designates certain derivatives as:

(a) Hedge of the fair value of recognized assets (fair value hedge);

(b) Hedge of an identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly-probablehighly-Probable transaction (cash-flow hedge), or

(c) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The Company documents, at the inception of each transaction, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its objectives for managing risk and the strategy for carrying out various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the beginning and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the items being hedged.

The total fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as an otherOther non-current financial asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the item hedged is over 12 months, and as an other current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the item hedged is less than 12 months. Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as otherOther financial assets or liabilities, current in the case that their remaining maturity is less than 12 months and non-current in the case that it is more than 12 months.liabilities.

(a) Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are shown in the consolidated statement of income, together with any change in the fair value of the asset or liability hedged that is attributable to the risk being hedged.

(b) Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in the statement of other comprehensive income. The loss or gain relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income under Other gains (losses). Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

In the case of variable interest-rate hedges, the amounts recognized in the statement of otherOther comprehensive income are reclassified to results within financial costs at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.

For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in the statement of otherOther comprehensive income are reclassified to results under the line item Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.

F-1-17


LOGO

For foreign currency hedges, the amounts recognized in the statement of Other comprehensive income are reclassified to income as deferred revenue resulting from the use of points, are recognized as income.

When hedging instruments mature or are sold or when they do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedges, any gain or loss accumulated in the statement of otherOther comprehensive income until that moment remains in the statement of other comprehensive income and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized. When it is expected that the hedged transaction is no longer going to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in the statement of other comprehensive income is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income as Other“Other gains (losses).

(c) Derivatives not booked as a hedge

Certain derivatives are not booked as a hedge. The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that is not booked as a hedge are shown immediately in the consolidated statement of income in Other“Other gains (losses).

2.11. Inventories

2.11.  Inventories

Inventories, detailed in Note 10, are shown at the lower of cost and their net realizable value. The cost is determined on the basis of the weighted average cost method.method (WAC). The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

2.12. Trade and other accounts receivable

2.12.  Trade and other accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable are shown initially at their fair value and later at their amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method, less the allowance for impairment losses. An allowance for impairment loss of trade accounts receivable is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover all the amounts due according to the original terms of the accounts receivable.

The existence of significant financial difficulties on the part of the debtor, the probability that the debtor is entering bankruptcy or financial reorganization and the default or delay in making payments are considered indicators that the receivable has been impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the book value of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The book value of the asset is reduced by the amount of the allowance and the loss is shown in the consolidated statement of income in Cost of sales. When an account receivable is written off, it is charged to the allowance account for accounts receivable.

2.13. Cash and cash equivalents

2.13.  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, time deposits in financial institutions, and other short-term and easily liquidatedhighly liquid investments.

The common shares are classified as net equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are shown in net equity as a deduction from the proceeds obtained.received from the placement of shares.

2.15. Trade and other accounts payables

2.15.  Trade and other accounts payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost and are valued according to the method of the effective interest rate.

2.16. Interest-bearing loans

LOGO

2.16.  Interest-bearing loans

Financial liabilities are shown initially at their fair value, net of the costs incurred in the transaction. Later, these financial liabilities are valued at their amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds obtained (net of the necessary arrangement costs) and the repayment value, is shown in the consolidated statement of income during the term of the debt, according to the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are classified in current and non-current liabilities according to the contractual payment dates of the nominal principal.

2.17. Deferred taxes

2.17.  Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are calculated on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their book values. However, if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of a liability or an asset in a transaction different from a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect the accounting result or the tax gain or loss, they are not booked. The deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period,consolidated financial statements close, and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability discharged.

Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax earnings with which to compensate the temporary differences.

The Company does not record deferred tax on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, and associates, provided that the opportunity to reverse the temporary differences is controlled by the GroupCompany and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax on temporary differences arising on investments in associates is immaterial.

2.18.  Employee benefits

(a) Personnel vacations

The Company recognizes the expense for personnel vacations on an accrual basis.

(b) Share-based compensation

The compensation plans implemented by the granting of options for the subscription and payment of shares are shown in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 2: Share based payments, showing the effect of the fair value of the options granted as a charge to remuneration on a straight-line basis between the date of granting such options and the date on which these become vested.

(c) Post-employment and other long-term benefits

Provisions are made for these obligations by applying the method of the actuarial value of the accrued cost, and taking into account estimates of future permanence, mortality rates and future wage increases determined on the basis of actuarial calculations. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest-rate curves. Actuarial gains or losses are shown in results for the yearperiod when they occur.

(d) Incentives

The Company has an annual incentives plan for its personnel for compliance with objectives and individual contribution to the results. The incentives eventually granted consist of a given number or portion of monthly remuneration and the provision is made on the basis of the amount estimated for distribution.

2.21.  Leases

(a) When the Company is the lessee – financial lease

The Company leases certain property,Property, plant and equipment in which it has substantially all the risk and benefits deriving from the ownership; they are therefore classified as financial leases. Financial leases are capitalized at the start of the leaseinitially recorded at the lower of the fair value of the asset leased and the present value of the minimum lease payments.payments

Every lease payment is separated between the liability component and the financial expenses so as to obtain a constant interest rate over the outstanding amount of the debt. The corresponding leasing obligations, net of financial charges, are included in Other financial liabilities. The element of interest in the financial cost is charged to the consolidated statement of income over the lease period so that it produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each year. The asset acquired under a financial lease is depreciated over its useful life and is included in Property, plant and equipment.

(b) When the Company is the lessee – operating lease

Leases, in which the lessor retains an important part of the risks and benefits deriving from ownership, are classified as operating leases. Payments with respect to operating leases (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are charged in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

2.22. Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale

2.22.  Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as assets held for sale are shown at the lesser of their book value and the fair value less costs to sell.

2.23. Maintenance

2.23.  Maintenance

The costs incurred for scheduled majorheavy maintenance of the aircraft’s fuselage and engines are capitalized and depreciated until the next maintenance. The depreciation rate is determined on technical grounds, according to itsthe use of the aircraft expressed in terms of cycles and flight hours.

In case of on balance sheet aircraft, these maintenance cost are capitalized as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of off balance sheet aircraft maintenance cost are periodically provided for and recognized through profit and loss as “Cost of sales”.

Additionally, some leases establish the obligation of the lessee to make deposits to the lessor as a guarantee of compliance with the maintenance and return conditions. These deposits, often called maintenance reserves, accumulate until a major maintenance is performed, once made, is request the recovery to the lessor. At the end of the contract period, the balance between paid reservations and conditions agreed with levels of maintain in delivering, be offset the parties if applicable.

The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.

NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1. Financial risk factors

3.1.Financial risk factors

The Company’s activities are exposed to different financial risks: (a) market risk, (b) credit risk, and (c) liquidity risk. The Company’s global risk management program is focused on uncertainty in the financial markets and tries to minimize the potential adverse effects on the net margin. The Company uses derivatives to hedge part of these risks.

F-1-21


LOGO

(a) Market risk

Due to the nature of its operations, the Company is exposed to market risks such as:

(i) fuel-price risk, (ii) interest-rate risk, and (iii) local exchange-rate risk. In order to fully or partially hedge all of these risks, the Company operates with derivative instruments to fix or limit rises in the underlying assets.

(i) Fuel-price risk:

(i)Fuel-price risk:

Fluctuations in fuel prices largely depend on the global supply and demand for oil, decisions taken by Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), global refining capacity, stock levels maintained, and weather and geopolitical factors.

The Company purchases an aircraft fuel called Jet Fuel grade 54. There is a benchmark price in the international market for this underlying asset, which is US Gulf Coast Jet 54. However, the futures market for this asset has a low liquidity index and as a result the Company hedges its exposure using West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude, Brent (“BRENT”) crude and distillate Heating Oil (“HO”), which have a high correlation with Jet Fuel and are highly liquid assets and therefore have advantages in comparison to the use of the U.S. Gulf Coast Jet 54 index.

During 2011, the Company booked gainsperiod of US$ 39.9 million on fuel hedging. During 2010,2013, the Company recognized gains of US$ 1.019.03 million on fuel hedging. During the same period 2012, the Company recognized losses of US$ 1.80 million and during the same period 2011 the Company recognized gains of US$ 39.9 million for the same reason.

At December 31, 2011,2013, the market value of its fuel positions amounted to US$ 30.615.9 million (positive). At December 31, 2010,2012, this market value was US$ 45.89.9 million (positive)(negative).

Given that current derivatives portfolio comprises mainly contracts based on Brent, a decision has been made to change the equivalence applied to this underlying index in order to calculate the agreed future value for different periods.

Sensitivity analysis

A drop in fuel price positively affects the Company through a reduction in costs. However, this drop also negatively affects contracted positions as these are acquired to protect the Company against the risk of a rise in price. The policy therefore is to maintain a hedge-free percentage in order to be competitive in the event of a drop in price.

As

Due to the fact that current positions do not represent changes in cash flows, but a variation in the exposure to the market value, the current hedge positions have no impact on income (they are booked as cash flow hedge contracts, so a variation in the fuel price has an impact on the Company’s net equity).

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments according to reasonable changes in the fuel price and their effect on equity. The term of the projection was defined until the end of the last current fuel hedge contract, being the last business day of the thirdsecond quarter of 2012. 2014.

The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$ 5 per barrel in the curve of the WTI, BRENT and JET crude futures benchmark price at the end of December, 31, 20112013 and the end of December, 31, 2010.2012.

The Company seeks to reduce the risk of fuel price rises to ensure it is not left at a disadvantage compared to its competitors in the event of a sharp price fall. The Company therefore uses hedge instruments like swaps, call options and collars to partially hedge the fuel volumes consumed.by consume.

According toBeginning with the requirementsthird quarter of 2012 the company meets the required criteria of IAS 39, duringpresented to apply hedge accounting in respect of fuel hedging TAM society. Until June 30, 2012, the Company did not apply hedge accounting to fuel hedging instruments of TAM. During the periods presented years, the Company has not recorded amounts for ineffectiveness inwithin the consolidated income statement.

Given the fuel hedge structure during 2011,2013, which considers a hedge-free portion, a vertical fall by US$ 5 dollars in the WTI, BRENT and JET benchmark price (the monthly daily average), would have meant a decreasean impact of approximately US$ 42.5127.6 million in the cost of total fuel consumption for the same period. For the same year,2013, a vertical rise by US$ 5 dollars in the WTI, BRENT and JET benchmark price (the monthly daily average) would have meant an impact of approximately US$ 39.5118.5 million of increased fuel costs for the same period.costs.

(ii) Cash flow interest-rate risk:

The fluctuation in interest rates depends heavily on the state of the global economy. An improvement in long-term economic prospects moves long-term rates upward while a drop causes a decline through market effects. However, if we consider government intervention in periods of economic recession, it is usual to reduce interest rates to stimulate aggregate demand by making credit more accessible and increasing production (in the same way interest rates are raised in periods of economic expansion).

The present uncertainty about how the market and governments will react, and thus how interest rates will change, creates a risk related to the Company’s debt at floating interest rates and its investments.

Cash flow interest rate risk equates to the risk of future cash flows of the financial instruments due to the fluctuation in interest rates on the market. The Company’s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates is mainly related to long-term obligations with variable interest rates.

F-1-23


LOGO

In order to reduce the risk of an eventual rise in interest rates, the Company has signed interest-rate swap and call option contractscontracts. Currently a 70% of the debt is fixed to fluctuations in order to eliminate more than 82% of its exposure to interest-rate fluctuations. Theinterest rate. Therefore the Company is therefore exposed in one portion to a small portionthe variations of the fluctuations in theLondon Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) of 30 days, 90 days, 180 days and 360 days London Inter Bank Offerdays. Other interest rates of less relevance are Brazilian Interbank Deposit Certificate (“ILC”), and the Interest Rate (LIBOR)Term of Brazil (“TJLP”).

(iii) Local exchange-rateForeign exchange rate risk:

The functional currency used by the parent Company is the US dollar in terms of setting prices for its services, the composition of its statement of financial position and effects on its operating income.

The risk arises when items listed on the balance sheet are exposed to exchange rate variations, due to their being listed in a currency other than the functional currency.

In the case of the subsidiary TAM S.A, which operates with the Brazilian Real as its functional currency, a large proportion of the company’s liabilities are expressed in dollars. Therefore, this subsidiary’s profit and loss varies when its financial assets and liabilities, an its accounts receivable listed in dollars are converted to Brazilian Reals. This impact on profit and loss is consolidated, directly affecting the Company.

In order to reduce the impacts on the Company’s profit and loss caused by rises and falls in the R$/US$ exchange rate, during the last quarter of 2013 the Company conducted transactions to reduce the net US$ liabilities held by TAM S.A.

The following table shows the variation of financial performance to appreciate or depreciate 10% exchange rate R$/US$:

The Company sells most of its services in US dollars, or prices equivalent to the US dollar and aBrazilian real. A large part of its expenses are denominated in US dollars or equivalents to the US dollar, particularly fuel costs, aeronautic charges, aircraft leases, insurance and aircraft components and accessories. Remuneration expenses are denominated in local currencies.

The Company maintains its cargo and passenger international business tariffs in US dollars. There is a mix in the domestic markets as sales in Peru are in local currency but the prices are indexed to the US dollar. In domestic markets of Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Argentina,Colombia the tariffs are in local currency without any kind of indexation. In the case of the domestic business in Ecuador, both tariffs and sales are in US dollar. The Company is therefore exposed to fluctuations in the different currencies, mainly:among which are: Brazilian real, Chilean peso, Argentine peso, UruguayanParaguayan guaraní, Mexican peso, Euro, Pound Sterling, Peruvian sol, Brazilian real, Colombian peso, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar; ofdollar. Of these currencies, the largest exposure is presented by Brazilian real and Chilean peso.

On the other hand, one of the sources of financing of the Company is the receipt of future flows relating to dividends and distributions of capital that the subsidiaries project distribute. These futures flows vary depending on the evolution of currency in Chilean pesos.compared to the US$. Most exposure to future flows is presented in subsidiary TAM S.A. and the volatility in the exchange rate R$/US$. In the case of the subsidiary TAM S.A. the incomes are expressed a large proportion in R$ and a large proportion of their costs are expressed in US$.

For cover the inversion in the subsidiaries and reduce the volatility in the cash flow , the Company may acquire derivatives contracts to hedge variations in other currencies against the Company’s functional currency, hedging exchange rate risk through currency forwards.

With the object of reduce the exposition to the futures monthly operating flows of all 2014, caused by eventual depreciation of the BRL and assure an economic margins, LATAM done the hedge by derivatives FX Forwards.

At December 31, 2013, the market value of its FX positions amounted to US$ 32.06 million (positive), these derivatives were contracted during 2013 so at December 31, 2012, there was no this type of derivatives.

A depreciation of exchange rate R$/US$ affects negatively the Company for a rise of its costs in US$, however, it also affects positively the value of contracted derivate positions.

Because the changes in the value of current positions not represented changes in cash flows, but a variation in the exposure of market value, the current hedge positions have not impact on result (are registered as cash flow hedges according to IFRS, therefore, a variation in the exposure has an impact on the Company’s net equity).

The Company managesfollowing table presents the sensitivity of financial instruments agrees with reasonable changes to exchange rate and its effect on equity.

Operations hedging of exchange rate Multiplus

The prices of frequent flyer points in the subsidiary Multiplus S.A. are denominated in US dollars. As functional currency is the Brazilian real, the sale of these points are assigned to variations in the exchange rate R$/US$. To decrease exposure, Multiplus S.A. contract rate collars.

The following table presents the notional amount and market value of derivatives exchange rate for each maturity date. The expiration date of the derivatives coincide with the probable date of collection points. The highly probable sale of the points are expected to be recognized in income after being exchanged, on average, six months later.

The derivatives hedges of Multiplus expire in March 2014. Have not yet been executed new hedge contracts by the subsidiary Multiplus, because exposure to foreignexchange rate R$/US$ has been managed by a change in the indexation of Multiplus costs, increase the cost base in US$, which creates a natural hedge to reduce the exposure of cash flows to exchange rate R$/US$.

Sensitivity exchange rate Multiplus S.A.

If the Brazilian real appreciates or depreciates by 10% against the US dollar and all other variables are held constant, the financial results would have varied approximately US$3.3 million/ US$ 4.2 million, mainly as the effect of gains or losses from exchange rate in the time value of derivatives, which are recognized immediately through profit and loss.

Effects of exchange rate derivatives in the Financial Statements

The profit or losses caused by changes in the fair value of hedging instruments are segregated between intrinsic value and time value. The intrinsic value is the percentage of cash flow cash covered, initially shown in equity and later transferred to income, while the hedge transaction is recorded in income. The time value corresponds to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedge and is recognized in the financial results of the Company (Note 21).

Due to the functional currency risk through hedging selected balances using forwardof TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries is the Brazilian real, the Company presents effects by the exchange contractsrate fluctuations in Other comprehensive income by converting the Statement of financial position and crossIncome statement of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries from their functional currency swaps.to the U.S. dollar, being these last currency the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statement of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries. The Goodwill generated in the Business combination is recognized as an asset of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries in Brazilian real whose conversion to U.S. dollar also produces effects in Other comprehensive income.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk occurs when the counterparty to a financial agreement or instrument fails to discharge an obligation due or financial instrument, leading to a loss in market value of a financial instrument (only financial assets, not liabilities).

The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its operative and financial activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in other kinds of instruments, exchange-rate transactions and the contracting of derivative instruments or options.

To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit limits to abridge the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently (mainly in case of operational activities in Brazil with travel agents).

As a way to mitigate credit risk related to financial activities, the Company requires that the counterparty to the financial activities remain at least investment grade by major Risk Assessment Agencies. Additionally the company has established maximum limits for investments which are monitored regularly.

(i) Financial activities

Cash surpluses that remain after the financing of assets necessary for the operation are invested according to credit limits approved by the Company’s Board, mainly in time deposits with different financial institutions, private investment funds, short-term mutual funds, and easily-liquidated corporate and sovereign bonds with short remaining maturities. These investments are booked as cashCash and cash equivalents and as investments held to maturity.Other current financial assets.

In order to reduce counterparty risk and to ensure that the risk assumed is known and managed by the Company, investments are diversified among different banking institutions (both local and international). The Company evaluates the credit standing of each counterparty and the levels of investment, based on (i) their credit rating, (ii) the equity size of the counterparty, and (iii) investment limits according to the Company’s level of liquidity. According to these three parameters, the Company chooses the most restrictive parameter of the previous three and based on this, establishes limits for operations with each counterparty.

The Company has no guarantees to mitigate this exposure.

(ii) Operational activities

The Company has four large sales “clusters”: travel agencies, cargo agents, airlines and credit-card administrators. The first three are governed by IATA (InternationalInternational Air Transport Association),Association, international (“IATA”) organization comprising most of the airlines that represent over 90% of scheduled commercial traffic and one of its main objectives is to regulate the financial transactions between airlines and travel agents and cargo. When an agency or airline does not pay their debt, they are excluded from operating with IATA’s member airlines. In the case of credit-card administrators, they are fully guaranteed by 100% by the issuing institutions.

The exposure consists of the term granted, which fluctuates between 1 and 45 days.

One of the tools the Company uses for reducing credit risk is to participate in global entities related to the industry, such as IATA, Business Sales Processing (BSP)(“BSP”), Cargo Account Settlement Systems (“CASS”), IATA Clearing House (“ICH”) and banks (credit cards). These institutions fulfill the role of collectors and distributors between airlines and travel and cargo agencies. In the case of the Clearing House, it acts as an offsetting entity between airlines for the services provided between them. A reduction in term and implementation of guarantees has been achieved through these entities. Currently the sales invoicing of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. related with travel agents and cargo agents for domestic transportation in Brazil is done directly by TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A.

Credit quality of financial assets

The external credit evaluation system used by the Company is provided by IATA. Internal systems are also used for particular evaluations or specific markets based on trade reports available on the local market. The internal

F-1-25

classification system is complementary to the external one, i.e. for agencies or airlines not members of IATA, the internal demands are greater. The

To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit limits to abridge the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently (mainly in case of operational activities of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. with travel agents).The bad-debt rate in the principal countries where the Company has a presence is insignificant.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company has no funds to meet its obligations.

Because of the cyclical nature of the business, the operation, and its investment and financing needs related to the acquisition of new aircraft and renewal of its fleet, plus the financing needs related to market-risk hedges, the Company requires liquid funds to meet its payment obligations.

The Company therefore manages its cash and cash equivalents and its financial assets, matching the term of investments with those of its obligations. The Company’s policy is that the average term of its investments may not exceed the average term of its obligations. This cash and cash equivalents position is invested in highly-liquid short-term instruments through first-class financial entities.

The Company has future obligations related to financial leases, operating leases, maturities of other bank borrowings, derivative contracts and aircraft purchase contracts.

The Company has fuel, interest rate and interestexchange rate hedging strategies involving derivatives contracts with different financial institutions. The Company has margin facilities with each financial institution in order to regulate the mutual exposure produced by changes in the market valuation of the derivatives.

At the end of 2010,2012, the Company had provided US$ 78.5189.9 million in derivative margin guarantees, for cash and stand-by letters of credit. At the end of December 31, 2011,2013, the Company had provided US$ 117.294.3 million in guarantees for Cash and cash equivalent and stand-by letters of credit. The increasefall was due to theat i) maturity of hedge contracts, ii) acquire of new fuel purchase contracts and acquisition of fuelexchange rate R$/US$, and interest rate contracts, risingiii) changes in fuel prices, exchange rate R$/US$ and falling interest rates.

 

3.2.Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives, with respect to the management of capital, are (i) to safeguard it in order to continue as an on-going business, (ii) to seek a return for its shareholders, and (iii) to maintain an optimum capital structure and reduce its costs.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of the dividends payable to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Company monitors the adjusted leverage ratio, in line with industry practice. This index is calculated as net adjusted debt divided by the sum of adjusted equity and net adjusted debt. Net adjusted debt is total financial debt plus 8 times the operating lease payments of the last 12 months, less total cash (measured as the sum of cash and cash equivalents plus marketable securities). CapitalAdjusted capital is the amount of net equity without the impact of the market value of derivatives, plus net adjusted debt.derivatives.

Currently theThe Company’s strategy, which has not changed since 2007, has consisted of maintaining a leverage ratio of between 70% and 80% and an international credit rating of higher than BBB- (the(the minimum required for being considered investment grade). As a result of consolidation with TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries, the rating agency Fitch has issued on May 3, 2013 a new long-term rating for the Company of BB + with stable perspective (which is not an investment grade rating).Additionally, on June 10, 2013, S&P issued a long term rating of BB, with a positive outlook.

The leverage ratios as of December 31, 2011,2013, and December 31, 2010,2012, were as follows:

LOGO

3.3.Estimates of fair value

At December 31, 2011,2013, the Company maintained financial instruments that should be recorded at fair value. These include:are grouped into two categories:

1. Hedge Instruments:

This category includes the following instruments:

Interest rate derivative contracts,

Fuel derivative contracts,

Currency derivative contracts

2. Financial Investments:

This category includes the following instruments:

Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent),

Bank certificate of deposit – CBD,

Interest rate derivative contracts,

Fuel derivative contracts,

Currency derivative contracts, and

Private investment funds.funds and

Financial letters

The Company has classified the fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the level of information used in the assessment. This hierarchy consists of 3 levels (I) fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (II) fair value calculated through valuation methods based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) and (III) fair value based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as investments acquired for trading, is based on quoted market prices at the close of the yearperiod using the current price of the buyer. The fair value of financial assets not traded in active markets (derivative contracts) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize use of available market information. Valuation techniques generally used by the Company are quoted market prices of similar instruments and / or estimating the present value of future cash flows using forward price curves of the market at yearperiod end.

The following table shows the classification of financial instruments at fair value, at December 31, 2011 depending on the level of information used in the assessment:

The book values of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to approximate their fair values, due to their short-term nature. In the case of cash on hand, bank balances, deposits and accounts payable, non-current, fair value approximates their carrying values.

The fair value of otherOther financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate for similar financial instruments. In the case of otherOther financial assets, the valuation was performed according to market prices at yearperiod end.

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The Company has used estimates to value and book some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments; these relate principally to:

 

(a)The evaluation of possible impairment losses for certain assets.

 

(b)The useful lives and residual values of fixed and intangible assets.

 

(c)The criteria employed in the valuation of certain assets.

 

(d)Air tickets sold that are not actually used.

 

(e)The calculation of deferred income at the year end of the period, corresponding to the valuation of kilometers or points credited to holders of the Lan Pass loyalty cardprograms which have not yet been used.

 

(f)The need for provisions and where required, the determination of their values.

 

(g)The recoverability of deferred tax assets.

These estimates are made on the basis of the best information available on the matters analyzed.

In any case, it is possible that events will require modification of the estimates in the future, in which case the effects would be accounted for prospectively.

Additionally, the management has applied judgment in determining that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has control over TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries for accounting purposes and therefore has consolidated their financial statements. The above on the basis that LATAM issued their ordinary shares in exchange for all of the outstanding common and preferred shares of TAM (except those shareholders of TAM who did not accept exchange and which were subject of the squeeze-out described in Note 18.2.a), entitling LATAM to substantially all of the economic benefits that will be generated by the LATAM Group and also, consequently, exposing it to substantially all the risks incidental to the operations of TAM. This exchange aligns the economic interests of LATAM and all of its shareholders, including the TAM controlling shareholders, ensuring that the shareholders and directors of TAM will have no incentive to exercise their rights in a manner that is beneficial to TAM but detrimental to LATAM. Further, all significant actions required for the operation of the airlines require the affirmative vote of both LATAM and the TAM controlling shareholders.

F-1-31


LOGOIn addition, LATAM is in process of integrating operations with TAM, and both entities will be operated as a single company. Within this, most critical airline activities will be managed in Brazil under the TAM CEO and globally by the LATAM CEO, who will be in charge of the overall operation of the LATAM Group and who will report to the LATAM board. Further, the LATAM CEO will evaluate performance of the LATAM Group executives and, together with the LATAM board, determine compensation. Although there are restrictions on voting interests that currently may be held by foreign investors under Brazilian law, LATAM believes that the economic substance of these arrangements satisfies the requirements established by the applicable accounting standards and that consolidation by LATAM of TAM’s operations is appropriate.

NOTE 5 - SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

The Company reports information by segments as established in IFRS 8 “Operating segments”. This standard sets rules for the reporting of information by segments in the financial statements, plus reporting about products and services, geographical areas and principal customers.

An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity on which financial information is held separately and which is evaluated regularly by the senior management in making decisions with respect to the assignment of resources and evaluation of results.

The Company has determined that it has only onetwo operating segment:segments: the air transportation.transportation business and the coalition and loyalty program Multiplus.

The Air transport segment corresponds to the route network for air transport and it is based on the way that the business is run and managed, according to the centralized nature of its operations, the ability to open and close routes and reallocate resources (aircraft, crew, staff, etc.) within the network, which is a functional relationship between all of them, making them inseparable. This segment definition is the most common level used by the global airline industry.

The segment of loyalty coalition called Multiplus, unlike Lan Pass and TAM Fidelidade, is a frequent flyer programs which operate as a unilateral system of loyalty that offers a flexible coalition system, interrelated among its members, with eleven millions of members, along with being a government entity with a separately business and not directly related to air transport.

Once pre-judicial and judicial collection efforts are exhausted, the assets are written off against the allowance. The Company only uses the allowance method rather than direct write-off, to ensure control.

Historic and current re-negotiations are not relevant and the policy is to analyze case by case in order to classify them according to the existence of risk, determining whether it is appropriate to re-classify accounts to pre-judicial recovery. If such re-classification is justified, an allowance is made for the account, whether overdue or falling due.

The maximum credit-risk exposure at the date of presentation of the information is the fair value of each one of the categories of accounts receivable indicated above.

(*)Aircraft maintenance reserves reflect prepayment deposits made by the group to lessors of certain aircraft under operating lease agreements in order to ensure that funds are available to support the scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft.

These amounts are calculated based on performance measures, such as flight hours or cycles, are payable periodically (usually monthly) and are contractually required to be repaid to the lessee upon the completion of the required maintenance of the leased aircraft. At the end of the lease term, any unused maintenance reserves are either returned to the Company in cash or used to offset amounts that we may owe the lessor as a maintenance adjustment.

In some cases (10 lease agreements), if the maintenance cost incurred by LATAM is less than the corresponding maintenance reserves, the lessor is entitled to retain those excess amounts at the time the heavy maintenance is performed. The Company periodically reviews its maintenance reserves for each of its leased aircraft to ensure that they will be recovered, and recognizes an expense if any such amounts are less than probable of being returned. Since the acquisition of TAM in June 2012, the cost of aircraft maintenance has been higher than the related maintenance reserves for all aircraft.

As of December 31, 2013, LATAM had ThUS$231,809 in maintenance reserves (ThUS$ 263,416 at December 31, 2012), corresponding to 21 aircraft out of a total fleet of 339 (24 aircraft out of a total fleet of 327 at December 31, 2012). All of the Company’s aircraft leases containing provisions for maintenance reserves will expire fully by 2017.

Aircraft maintenance reserves are classified as current or non-current depending on the dates when the related maintenance is expected to be performed (Note 2.23).

NOTE 1718 – GOODWILL AND BUSINESS COMBINATION

18.1. Goodwill

The goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the fair value of the participation of the Company in the identifiable net assets of the subsidiarysubsidiaries at the acquisition date. Goodwill at December 31, 20112013 amounted to ThUS$ 163,7773,727,605 (ThUS$ 157,9944,213,160 as revised at December 31, 2010)2012).

At December 31, 2011,The Company has two cash- generating units (CGU), confirming the Companyexistence of two cash-generating units: “Air transportation” and, “Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus”; consistent with this, performed an impairment testtests based on the value in use and no impairment was identified. The testing isThese tests are done at least once per year.

The value in userecoverable amounts of those cash generating units to which goodwill has been assigned hashave been determined assuming that yields, occupation factors and fleet capacity are maintained at current obtainable levels. The Company projectsfrom estimated cash flows forby the initial periodsAdministration. The main assumptions used are disclosed as follows:

Air transportation CGU

Long-term growth rate: We used a growth rate between 2.0% and 4.0% per year.

Exchange rate R$ / US$: we used a rate between 2.40 and 3.50 R$ / US $, in line with the expectations of the central bank of Brazil.

Discount rate: based on internal budgetsthe weighted average cost of capital (WACC) we used a rate between 10.0% and extrapolates12.0%.

Fuel Price: prices are used in a range of 124.50 and 130.50 US$ / barrel, from futures price curves commodities markets.

Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus CGU (*)

Long-term growth rate: We used a growth rate between 4.0% and 7.0% per year.

Exchange rate R$ / US$: we used a rate between 2.40 and 3.50 R$ / US $, in line with the finalexpectations of the central bank of Brazil.

Discount rate: based on cost of equity (CoE) we used a rate between 20.0% and 25.0%.

(*)For the Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus CGU the flows, as in the growth rate and discount, are denominated in real.

Given the expectation of growth and the long investment cycles characteristic of the industry, are used projections of ten years.

The result of the impairment test, which includes a sensitivity analysis of the main variables, showed that the estimated recoverable amount is higher than carrying value of these periods based on a growth factor consistent with the long-term economic projectionsbook value of net assets allocated to the cash generating unit, and therefore impairment was not detected.

The sensitivity analysis included individual impact of variations in the markets in whichkey assumptions with impact on the units operate. The determined cash flows are discounted at a rate which takes into account the time value of money and risks related to those cash generating units which have not been taken into account in estimationdetermination of the units’ future cash flows.recoverable amounts, namely:

(d)Other information

(a) Description of the Business Combination process with TAM S.A and Subsidiaries

Dated June 22, 2012 the merger was successfully completed between LAN Airlines S.A. (today LATAM Airlines Group S.A.), with Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A., two companies specially constituted for the purpose of the association between the Company and TAM S.A. which was reflected in the deed of execution of merger issued by such companies at the same time, and it was rectified by deed dated July 10, 2012. These scriptures recorded the share exchange of Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A. for LAN´s shares in one related of 0.9 of LAN´s shares for each Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A. That exchange occurred with the delivery of the respective LAN shares to shareholders of Sister Holdco S.A. and the respective BDRs (“Brazilian Depositary Receipts”) and ADRs (“American Depositary Receipts”) from LAN to the shareholders of Holdco II S.A. abroad on June 27, 2012, that is, TAM shareholders who accepted the exchange offer.

The share exchange offer materialized with the exchange previously referenced was 99.9% of the TAM shares that accepted that TAM would stop being a public company in Brazil, which fulfilled the condition for the cancellation of registration, requirement for the success of the exchange offer.

The capital increase in LATAM Airline S.A originated in the merger is determined by the social capital amount of Sister Holdco S.A. and Holdco II S.A., equivalent to ThUS$ 951,409. The difference between this value and the purchase price (Note 18.2.b), amounting to ThUS$ 2,665,692 was included in “Other reserves” during 2012.

On July 27, 2012, TAM made use of the Squeeze-Out granted by the Brazilian legislation, under which a compulsory could rescue all TAM shares that were not exchanged in the exchange offer or contributed by controlling shareholders of TAM. Since TAM shares received in the exchange offer, plus the shares committed by the controlling shareholders of TAM, represented 95.9% of the total outstanding shares of TAM, the aforementioned condition was met on the remaining 4.1% through the disbursement by TAM of ThUS$ 165,143.

As a consequence of the end of that process: (i) concluded the process of Business Combination of LAN and TAM, and (ii) the renaming of LAN Airlines S.A. to LATAM Airlines Group S.A. became effective.

The costs incurred by LATAM Airline Group S.A. to make the Business Combination amounts to ThUS$ 50,647 for the year ended December 31, 2012, and were recorded in the Income statement when they were incurred.

The ownership structure of TAM, after the business combination, is as follows:

TAM is a leading airline in Brazil, with more than 35 years in operation, and as of the date of the business combination it boasted: over 30,000 employees, a fleet of more than 160 aircraft, annual sales surpassing US$7.3 billion, and a 2011 Brazilian market share of 41.2% domestically, and 88.1% of international flights operated by Brazilian-flagged airlines. It is appropriate to point out that Multiplus S.A., a company controlled by TAM S.A., is engaged in the development and administration of client loyalty programs. Multiplus S.A. has been registered in the “Novo Mercado” section on the BMF&Bovespa exchange since February 3, 2010.

Under IFRS 3 this operation has been registered as a business combination consigning to the Company as purchaser of TAM. Besides the fact that LATAM is the one who issuing the shares in the combination, this is based on the economic rights and relative vote relating of the former shareholders of LAN and TAM over the combined entity.

(b) Business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 (*)

IFRS 3 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:

i.Recognizes and measure the consideration paid;

ii.Recognizes and measure fair value of identifiable net assets acquired; and

iii.Recognizes and measure the goodwill acquired.

IFRS 3 provides the acquirer with a reasonable time (measurement period) to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the three points mentioned above as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period, the acquirer shall retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date (June 22, 2012). Therefore, some amounts reported in previous financial statements as provisional amounts because the accounting was incomplete have been retrospectively adjusted.

The airport slots (landing and take-offs) have been measured at fair value at the date of the combination, using the net present value of projected Earing Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) of those routes going through those airports where slots were acquired as part of the business combination (Congonhas, JFK and Heathrow); and its useful lives are classified as indefinite, which shall be subject to impairment test annually.

Customer loyalty program “Multiplus” fair value has been measured using estimated discounted cash flows related to the mentioned intangible as of the acquisition date and its useful lives are classified as indefinite, which shall be subject to impairment test annually.

Fair value of fleet was measured using market values and considering model, age and actual maintenance conditions of each airplane. Additionally, in relation with those airplanes under operative lease, maintenance cost and devolution cost have been provided for.

Fair value of Other provisions is related with the recognition of contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination even if it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, according to IFRS 3.

(*)Is mainly related to the reversal of tax contingencies
(**)The judicial deposit in guarantee, related to the Fundo Aeroviário (FA), in the amount of ThUS$ 102, was done in order to suspend the enforceability of the tax credit. The company is discussing over the Tribunal the constitutionality of the requirement made by FA in a legal suit. Initially it was covered by the effects of a provisional remedy, meaning that, the company was not obligated to collect the tax while there was not a judicial decision in this regard. However, the decision taken by a judge in the first instance was publicized in an unfavorable way, revoking the provisional remedy relief. As the legal suit is still in progress (TAM appealed from this first decision), the company needed to do the deposit judicial in guarantee to suspend the enforceability of such tax credit. Finally, if the final decision is favorable to the company, the deposit already made is going to come back to TAM. On the other hand, if the tribunal confirms the first decision, such deposit will be converted in a definitive payment in favor of the Brazilian Government.

The Options of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A., under the plan’s terms, are divided into three equal parts and employees can run a third of its options after three, four and five years respectively, as long as they remain employees of the company. The agreed term of the options is seven years.

For Multiplus S.A., the plan’s terms provide that the options granted to the usual prizes are divided into three equal parts and employees may exercise one-third of their two, three and four, options respectively, as long as they keep being employees of the company. The agreed term of the options is seven years after the grant of the option. The first extraordinary granting was divided into two equal parts, and only half of the options may be exercised after three years and half after four years. The second extraordinary granting was also divided into two equal parts, which may be exercised after one and two years respectively.

Both companies have an option that contains a “service condition” in which the exercise of options depends exclusively on the delivery services by employees during a predetermined period. Terminated employees will be required to meet certain preconditions in order to maintain their right to the options.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Latam Airlines Group S.A.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position and the related consolidated statements of Lanincome, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Latam Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiariesits subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as goodwillissued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of ThUS$ 6,736.

F-1-94


LOGODecember 31, 2013, based on criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (1992)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under item 15 of this annual report. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Summary statementA company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial position atreporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, date:use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
