Other Events

On August 30, 2024, AerCap Holdings N.V. (the “Company”) issued a notice of redemption for all of the Company’s $750,000,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Fixed-Rate Reset Junior Subordinated Notes due 2079 (the “Notes”) (NYSE: AER79) (the “Redemption”) on October 10, 2024 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (the “Principal Amount”) plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date (the “Accrued and Unpaid Interest” and, together with the Principal Amount, the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price has been calculated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture dated as of October 1, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented from time to time, including pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 10, 2019 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), and the Notes. The aggregate Accrued and Unpaid Interest up to the Redemption Date has been calculated to be equal to $22,031,250.00. Therefore, the aggregate Redemption Price to be paid is equal to $772,031,250.00. The Redemption Date is also an interest payment date and, as a result, the Accrued and Unpaid Interest portion of the Redemption Price will be paid by BNY Mellon, as a paying agent of the Company (the “Accrued Interest Paying Agent”), consistent with prior interest payments.

The Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent in order to collect the Principal Amount of the Redemption Price. The name and address of the Paying Agent are as follows:

Wilmington Trust, National Association

1100 North Market Street, 5th floor

Wilmington, DE 19890
