MATERIAL INFORMATION

Avianca Holdings S.A. (“AVH” or the “Company”), following up the information published today in some media as in respect of the undergoing process of our search for a strategic investor, informs:

The Company has received conditional and confidential proposals from certain parties interested in continuing with the negotiations of a possible alliance with AVH.

These proposals are being analyzed by the Company and its advisors in order to fully understand their terms and conditions, as well as to determine their feasibility and possible steps to follow.

Receiving those conditional offers is a normal fact in this type of search for a strategic investor, of which the Company has previously informed the market.

The administration of the Company up to now has not made any decision on the proposals received which implies an obligation for the Company to continue or to close to any negotiation with any party.

If the process advances and the material facts subject to material information for the market come out, the Company will proceed in conformity with the law and accordingly to its practice.
