Other Events
On
March 30, 2021, AerCap Holdings N.V. (the
“Company”) and AerCap Ireland Capital Designated Activity Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company (the
“Borrower”), as borrower, entered into an unsecured
revolving credit agreement, dated as of
March 30, 2021 (the
“Revolving Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, with an aggregate revolving commitment of $4.35 billion. The availability of the
commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the previously-disclosed transaction agreement, dated as of
March 9, 2021, by and among
General Electric Company, certain direct or indirect
subsidiaries of General Electric Company,
the Company and certain
subsidiaries of
the Company (the
“GECAS Transaction Agreement” and the date of such consummation, the
“Closing Date”). Proceeds of
any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes. The obligations of the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by
the Company and certain
subsidiaries of
the Company.
On
March 30, 2021,
the Company and the Borrower entered into (i) a Bridge Credit Agreement (the
“Bridge Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, with an aggregate
principal commitment of $19.0 billion and (ii) a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the
“Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, with an aggregate principal commitment of $5.0 billion, which,
collectively, replaced the $24.0 billion of commitments under the previously-disclosed debt commitment letter. To the extent other debt financing is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date,
the Company intends to use the proceeds from the
Bridge Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement on the Closing Date to finance the cash portion of the consideration to be paid under the GECAS Transaction Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses. The obligations of the Borrower
under each of the Bridge Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement are guaranteed by
the Company and certain
subsidiaries of
the Company.
