SAO PAULO, May 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --GOL Linhas Aéreas
Inteligentes S.A. (BM&FBOVESPA: GOLL4 and NYSE: GOL), (S&P:
CC, Fitch: C and Moody's: Caa3), the largest low-cost and
best-fare airline in Latin
America, reminds unsecured bondholders that the extended
deadline to qualify for the "Early Acceptance Premium," which is
equal to 5% of the original face value, for exchanging Senior Notes
maturing in 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2023 and Perpetual Notes
(together, the "Old Notes") for newly issued Secured Notes in its
private Exchange Offer, is Friday, May 27,
2016, at 5:00 p.m.
New York City time (6:00 p.m. Brasilia time).
The premium of approximately 10% to 50% offered over current
market prices includes the "Early Acceptance Premium" of 5% of the
original face value for holders of the Old Notes.
The Secured Notes will be secured by a first priority security
interest in all spare parts owned by GOL, and, as a result,
structurally senior to all of GOL's existing and future unsecured
indebtedness. Holders of Old Notes not exchanging will not
get the benefit of the collateral, and holders of Old Notes who do
not participate in the Exchange Offer will be effectively
subordinated to the Secured Notes.

Offer, eligible bondholders can visit the following website:
www.dfking.com/gol. Holders may contact D.F. King & Co., Inc, the information agent,

noteholders should tender Old Notes for exchange pursuant to the
