The warrant exercise was fully anticipated and removes a known overhang, but the 8.8% dilution is now realized. Watch for American Airlines' next 13F filing to see if it holds or sells the newly issued shares, and monitor Azul's upcoming earnings for any impact on EPS from the increased share count.
