Expiration of Consent Solicitation
The Consent Solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 16, 2020 in respect of all series of Notes ("Expiration Deadline"). This was the deadline for Holders of the Notes to electronically deliver Consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitation and be eligible to receive the Consent Fee. Holders may no longer revoke Consents.
Receipt of Requisite Consents
As of the Expiration Deadline, Yaborã was advised by Global Bondholder Services Corporation (the "Information and Tabulation Agent") that it has received valid unrevoked Consents from Holders in respect of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each series (excluding the aggregate principal amount of any Notes owned by any Obligor or their respective affiliates) (in relation to each separate series of Notes, the "Requisite Consents"). Yaborã hereby announces that it has accepted all valid unrevoked Consents.
Execution of Supplemental Indentures and Effectiveness
Pursuant to the terms of the Consent Solicitation, on March 17, 2020, each Supplemental Indenture was entered into by the parties thereto.

The relevant Supplemental Indenture and the Proposed Amendments contained therein will not become operative, and the Consent Fee in respect of the relevant series of Notes will not become payable, unless all conditions to the Consent Solicitation in respect of such series of Notes are satisfied or waived and payment of the Consent Fee in respect of the relevant series of Notes is made.
Consent Fee
The Consent Fee for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes of the relevant series is a cash payment of US$1.50. The Consent Fee is payable to Holders of Notes whose properly executed Consents were received (and not validly revoked) prior to the Expiration Deadline. The Consent Fee payable in respect of each series of Notes will be paid by Embraer Overseas Limited. Payment of the Consent Fee in respect of the Consent Solicitation in respect of each series of Notes is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement.
