Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) This form is filed voluntarily. As a foreign private issuer, AerCap Holdings N.V. is exempted from Section 16 of the Exchange Act by Rule 3a12-3.
(2) Conversion of fully vested options in exchange for a number of ordinary shares of the issuer in accordance with the Stock Option Conversion Agreement dated December 15, 2016. The options listed in Table II converted into ordinary shares of the issuer with the number of ordinary shares determined by reference to the excess of the value of an ordinary share on the last trading day prior to the date of such conversion over the applicable exercise price. The Company's payroll tax withholding obligations were met by the retention of a number of ordinary shares with a value equal to the associated wage taxes and social security, resulting in a net issuance of 46,502 ordinary shares.
(3) 125,000 of these options became vested in four equal annual installments beginning on September 13, 2008, and the remaining 62,500 of these options vested in two equal installments on each of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
