Analysis · AZUL · Energy & Transportation
American Airlines' US$100 million investment is now fully consummated: all its warrants were exercised for 31.8 million shares, and American's nominee Jeff Ogar replaced CEO John Rodgerson on the board. The board also confirmed a total BRL 512.8 million capital increase from all exercised warrants, lifting shares outstanding to 400.8 million. More consequential than the modest dilution from the 432,551 shares issued to other warrant holders is the board change, which formalizes American's influence at Azul within a strategic partnership.
