Copies of the Proxy Materials are also available on the Company’s website (www.aercap.com).

The Board of Directors has determined that only those who are Shareholders or Others with Meeting Rights on April 7, 2017 (the “Record Date”) and who are registered in the Company’s shareholders’ register on that date, or have a valid proxy from such Shareholders or Others with Meeting Rights, may attend and, if applicable, vote at the Meeting. Holders of Registered Shares and Others with Meeting Rights who are not yet registered, may send a registration request by e-mail to shareholdersmeeting@aercap.com.

 

The Company will mail the Proxy Materials and a proxy form to Shareholders, who owned their Shares (whether or not through Cede & Co., as nominee for the Depositary Trust Company) on March 13, 2017. This mailing will allow Shareholders more time to read and consider the Proxy Materials. However, such Shareholders’ votes will not count unless they are Shareholders on the Record Date.

The Company will make a second distribution of Proxy Materials following the Record Date to Shareholders who acquired their Shares after March 13, 2017 and who continued to hold their Shares up to and including the Record Date, to ensure that all Shareholders who hold Shares on the Record Date have the opportunity to vote.

It is recommended that Shareholders vote promptly after receipt of the Proxy Materials and proxy form in accordance with the voting instructions contained therein, to allow sufficient time for the voting instructions and proxies to be tabulated.

Shareholders and Others with Meeting Rights wishing to exercise their meeting rights by submitting a proxy, must return the proxy in accordance with the instructions set forth in the proxy form no later than April 28, 2017. Shareholders and Others with Meeting Rights wishing to exercise their meeting rights in person must (i) notify the Company by submitting an e-mail stating their name and the number of Shares they hold, or to which their meeting rights relate, to shareholdersmeeting@aercap.com and (ii) in the case of Holders of Listed Shares, provide the Company with appropriate evidence of ownership of and authority to vote such Shares, no later than April 28, 2017.

Access to the Meeting by Shareholders, Others with Meeting Rights or proxy holders will be permitted after verification of personal identification.
