LAN Airlines S.A. and its related companies, ("LAN" or "the
Company") (NYSE:LFL / IPSA:LAN), one of the leading airline groups in
Latin America, announced that its Board of Directors approved a
proposed capital increase of 22,090,910 ordinary shares at an
Extraordinary Session held today. This amount will replace the capital
increase of 7,500,000 shares approved at the Extraordinary
Shareholders Meeting held on January 26, 2007.
The proceeds of this increase will be used to finance LAN's fleet
expansion program, resulting from the strong traffic growth in the
markets where the Company operates. The new fleet expansion program
includes the arrival of 5 long-haul passenger aircraft, 4 dedicated
freighters and 15 Airbus A320 family aircraft. These aircraft will be
delivered between 2008 and 2011, with list prices that total
approximately US$1.8 billion. In addition, a portion of this capital
increase will be allocated towards a stock option plan for Company
employees.
This capital increase will be presented for approval at an
Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting to be held April 5, 2007, in
conjunction with LAN's Annual General Shareholders Meeting.
