Explanatory Statement

This Amendment No. 20 (“Amendment No. 20”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed by Marubeni Corporation (“Marubeni”) on June 17, 2013, as amended by Amendments Nos. 1 through 19 filed jointly by Marubeni, Marubeni Aviation Corporation (“MAC”) and Marubeni Aviation Holding Coöperatief U.A. (“MHC,” and together with Marubeni and MAC, the “Reporting Persons”). The Schedule 13D, as so amended (the “Schedule 13D”), relates to the common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of Aircastle Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (the “Issuer”). Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 20 is being filed jointly by the Reporting Persons.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby supplemented by the addition of the following:

On March 6, 2020, the Issuer held its special meeting of shareholders (“Special Meeting”) to consider and act upon the approval and adoption of an agreement and plan of merger, dated November 5, 2019 (the “merger agreement”), and a related statutory merger agreement, by and among the Issuer, MM Air Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (“MMA”), and MM Air Merger Sub Limited, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MMA (“MMAMS”), and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger (the “Merger Proposal”).  At the Special Meeting, the Merger Proposal was approved by the affirmative vote of approximately 99% of the votes cast by the holders of outstanding Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

On March 27, 2020, the Issuer consummated the merger contemplated by the terms of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which MMAMS was merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving entity (the “merger”).  At the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons) was canceled and converted into the right to receive $32.00 in cash, without interest.  Immediately following the Effective Time, MHC beneficially owned 28.8% of the outstanding common shares of the surviving company in the merger, and MMA beneficially owned the remaining 71.2%.

As a result of the merger, the Common Shares ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and became eligible for termination of registration under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.  On March 30, 2020, the NYSE filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a notification on Form 25 to report the delisting of the Common Shares from the NYSE and to deregister the Common Shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.  The Issuer intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting that the Issuer’s reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be terminated or suspended.

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understanding or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 is hereby supplemented by the addition of the following:

The information set forth in or incorporated by reference in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 20 is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
