Other Events

On June 3, 2015 AerCap Holdings N.V. (“AerCap”) issued a press release announcing the pricing of the underwritten secondary offering (the “Offering”) of 71,184,686 of its ordinary shares by American International Group, Inc. (“AIG” or the “Selling Shareholder”) at a price to the public of $49.00 per share. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1

In connection with the Offering, AerCap entered into an underwriting agreement with AIG and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein.  The above description of the underwriting agreement is qualified by reference to the underwriting agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On June 1, 2015, AerCap Holdings N.V. entered into a share repurchase agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) among AerCap Global Aviation Trust and other guarantors named therein, the Selling Shareholder and AIG Capital Corporation. Under the terms of the Share Repurchase Agreement, AerCap has agreed with the Selling Shareholder to repurchase $750 million of AerCap’s ordinary shares (the “Share Repurchase”) at a price per share equal to the least of (i) the price per ordinary share paid by the underwriters to the Selling Shareholder in the Offering, (ii) 104% of the last closing price per ordinary share reported on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the public announcement of the Offering and (iii) 110% of the opening price per ordinary share reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Share Repurchase Agreement.  Consideration for the share repurchase will consist of the issuance of $500 million of 6.50% fixed-to-floating rate junior subordinated notes due 2045 (the “Notes”) to AIG and $250 million of cash on hand. The closing of the Share Repurchase is contingent on the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the closing of the Offering and certain other customary conditions. AerCap expects the closing of the Share Repurchase to occur immediately prior to the closing of the Offering. The closing of the Offering is not contingent on the closing of the Share Repurchase.  Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, upon the issuance of the Notes, the amount available to AerCap Ireland Capital Limited, as borrower, under the $1.0 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility provided to AerCap by AIG, will be reduced by $500 million.

Upon the closing of the Offering and the Share Repurchase, assuming the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares in the Offering, it is expected that the Selling Shareholder will no longer beneficially own any AerCap ordinary shares.

 

The information contained in this Form 6-K is incorporated by reference into the Company’s Form F-3 Registration Statement File Nos. 333-177659 and 333-203113 and Form S-8 Registration Statements File Nos. 333-180323, 333-154416, 333-165839, 333-194637 and 333-194638, and related Prospectuses, as such Registration Statements and Prospectuses may be amended from time to time.

(b)      The Selling Shareholder will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any such person or entity may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, in the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the General Disclosure Package (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, including the General Disclosure Package that has subsequently been amended or supplemented), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relates to the Selling Shareholder Information; and will reimburse each indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.

---

(c)      Each Underwriter will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the Selling Shareholder and each person, if any, who controls the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any such person or entity may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, including the General Disclosure Package as subsequently amended or supplemented) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (the “Underwriter Information”) and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; it being understood and agreed upon that the Underwriter Information consists only of (i) the names of the Underwriters, (ii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (iii) the information under the heading “Price Stabilization, Overallotment Transactions, Syndicate Covering Transactions and Penalty Bids” under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus.

(d)      Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under paragraph (a), ‎(b) or ‎(c) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a), ‎(b) or ‎(c) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under paragraph ‎7, ‎(b) or ‎(c) above.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel of its choice at its own expense, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party). Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party.  In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same allegations or circumstances.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or consent to the entry of any judgment of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

---

(e)      If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), ‎(b) or ‎(c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) for which indemnification is provided by an indemnifying party therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), ‎(b) or ‎(c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, respectively, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or if unavailable for any reason, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) from the offering of the Securities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, but before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Shareholder from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e).  The Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (1) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (2) the Selling Shareholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (A) the net proceeds received by the Selling Stockholder from the sale of Securities exceeds (B) the amount of any damages which the Selling Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this subsection (e), (i) each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and director, officer, employee, agent and affiliate of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, (ii) each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, agent and affiliate of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and (iii) each person who controls the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, agent and affiliate of the Selling Shareholder shall have the same rights to contribution as the Selling Shareholder, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this subsection (e).

---

(f)      The obligations of the Company and the Selling Shareholder under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Shareholder may otherwise have.

8.        Termination; Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations; Certain Expenses.  If any of the conditions set forth in Section ‎6 hereof are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date or the parties hereto breach their obligations hereunder, this Agreement and the obligations hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives in their absolute discretion.  The reimbursement, indemnification and contribution agreements contained in this Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of the foregoing, or by or on behalf of the Company or its directors or officers or by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder or its directors or officers and (iii) delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities under this Agreement and the sale of the Securities and Securities.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, each of the Selling Shareholder and the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section ‎7 and the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters pursuant to Section ‎7 shall remain in effect, and if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder the representations and warranties in Section ‎2 and all obligations under Section ‎5 shall also remain in effect.  In addition, if the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason, other than the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company and the Selling Shareholder will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities and the sale of the Additional Securities.  The provisions of Sections 7 and Section 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

9.        Default by an Underwriter.  If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Selling Shareholder or the Company.  In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company, the Selling Shareholder and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder

14.      APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD APPLY THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

EXHIBIT A

[Form of Lock-Up Agreement]

AerCap Holdings N.V.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between AerCap Holdings N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands (the “Company”), American International Group, Inc., the selling shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”), and each of you as representatives (the “Representatives”) of a group of underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering (“Secondary Offering”) of ordinary shares, € 0.01 par value (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company by the Selling Shareholder.

In order to induce you and the other Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, for a period of 60 days after the date of the prospectus relating to the Secondary Offering, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) relating to, any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares (“Specified Lock-Up Securities”), or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Specified Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Specified Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise, in each case other than:

(A) transfers of Ordinary Shares as a bona fide gift or gifts;

(B) if the Specified Lock-up Securities are held by a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, transfers to any of its shareholders, partners, members or affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the Act, as amended (each, an “Affiliate”)) or any of its Affiliates’ directors, officers and employees;

---

(C) transfers by way of testate or intestate succession or by operation of law, or to any members of the immediate family of the undersigned, or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin);

(D) transfers to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned;

(E) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (A) through (D) above;

(F) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency; or

(G) from an executive officer to the Company or its parent entities upon death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such executive officer;

provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), or (G), such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and each donee, transferee or distributee shall execute and deliver to the Representatives a lock-up letter in the form of this paragraph for the balance of the lock-up period; and provided, further, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (A), (B), (C), (D), or (E), no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the 90-day period referred to above).

Furthermore, the undersigned may sell Ordinary Shares of the Company purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the Secondary Offering if and only if no filing by any party under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or other public report or filing shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such sale (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the lock-up period).

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the establishment of any contract, instruction or plan (a “Plan”) that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Exchange Act; provided that no sales of the undersigned’s Specified Lock-up Securities shall be made pursuant to such a Plan prior to the expiration of the 60-day lock-up period, and such a Plan may only be established if no public announcement of the establishment or existence thereof and no filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory authority in respect thereof or transactions thereunder or contemplated thereby, by the undersigned, the Company or any other person, shall be required, and no such announcement or filing is made voluntarily, by the undersigned, the Company or any other person, prior to the expiration of the lock-up period.

---

The foregoing restrictions shall also not apply to the withholding by the Company of any Ordinary Shares to satisfy tax obligations of the undersigned arising upon the exercise of options or vesting of equity awards granted under the terms of any employee plan, benefit or compensation arrangement or employment agreement.

This agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.  A facsimile or other electronic transmission of an executed copy of this agreement shall have the same effect as the original executed counterpart.

If for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), the agreement set forth above shall likewise be terminated.

 

	Yours very truly,
	[Signature of officer, director or major shareholder]
