The preferred shares are being offered directly or in the form of American depositary shares, or ADSs, each of which represents three preferred shares. One of the selling shareholders has also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 4,063,019 additional preferred shares.

The global offering price is R$27.96 per preferred share and US$26.75 per ADS. Shares are traded on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A.— Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, formerly known as BM&FBOVESPA) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), under the symbols "AZUL4" and "AZUL", respectively.

None of the preferred shares (including in the form of ADSs) being sold in the global offering will be sold by Azul and Azul will not receive any proceeds from the global offering, except for reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by it in connection with the global offering.

Certain strategic shareholders of Azul, including HNA Group and United Airlines, were not among the selling shareholders in this offering.
