      <description><![CDATA[• Azul S.A. completed the settlement of the announced debt exchange of its 2028, 2029, 2030, and convertible notes.
• We view the transaction as distressed and tantamount to default because creditors will receive less than originally promised.
• Azul also completed the issuance of its $500 million super priority notes due 2030.
• On Jan. 29, 2025, S&P Global Ratings lowered its global and national scale issuer credit ratings on Azul to 'SD' (selective default) from 'CC' and 'brCC', respectively. We also affirmed our issue rating on the 2026 senior unsecured notes at 'CCC-' because these aren't part of the exchange.
• We will evaluate the company's new capital structure and will likely raise the ratings in the next couple of days.]]></description>
