AerCap Holdings N.V. ("AerCap" or the "Company") (NYSE: AER) announced today the pricing terms of the previously announced offers by AerCap Global Aviation Trust ("AGAT," "we," "us" and "our"), a Delaware statutory trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for its own account and on behalf of AerCap Ireland Capital Designated Activity Company ("AICDAC" and, together with AGAT, the "Issuers"), to purchase for cash the notes listed in the table below (the "Notes") (i) in accordance with, and in the order of, the corresponding Acceptance Priority Levels and (ii) up to an aggregate purchase price (including principal and premium, but excluding Accrued Interest (as defined below)) of $740,000,000 (the "Maximum Tender Cap") and subject to pro rata allocation, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below). The offers to purchase with respect to each series of Notes are referred to herein as the "Offers" and each, an "Offer." Each Offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated November 30, 2020 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal" and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the "Tender Offer Documents"). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this press release have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Because the aggregate purchase price (including principal and premium, but excluding Accrued Interest) of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 11, 2020 (the "Early Tender Deadline") exceeds the Maximum Tender Cap, we will accept for purchase such Notes in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels, subject to the proration factors, each as set forth in the table below and as further described in the Offer to Purchase, so as not to exceed the Maximum Tender Cap. Accordingly, the 3.500% Senior Notes due 2022 that we will accept for purchase were prorated so as to accept the maximum principal amount of such Notes, subject to the applicable Authorized Denomination, that did not result in the Maximum Tender Cap being exceeded.

The applicable Total Consideration for each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers was determined by reference to the applicable fixed spread for each Series of Notes over the yield (the "Tender Offer Yield") based on the bid price of the applicable reference security, in each case as set forth in the table below. The Tender Offer Yields (as determined pursuant to the Offer to Purchase) listed in the table below were determined at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, today, December 14, 2020, by the Dealer Managers (as defined below). The Total Consideration for each Series includes an early tender premium (the "Early Tender Premium") of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase and accounts for the par call date, if applicable.

Includes the Early Tender Premium.

(3)

Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase in the applicable Offer at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline. Excludes Accrued Interest.

The amount of each Series of Notes accepted for purchase was determined upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offers as described in the Tender Offer Documents.

We expect settlement for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase to occur on December 15, 2020. All payments for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase will also include accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date (the "Accrued Interest"). All Notes that have been accepted for purchase will be retired and canceled and will no longer remain outstanding obligations of the Company, the Issuers or any of the Company's other subsidiaries. Such Notes will also be delisted from Euronext Dublin.

The Offers will expire at 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on December 28, 2020 (as the same may be extended with respect to any Offer, the "Expiration Date"). As a result of reaching the Maximum Tender Cap by the Early Tender Deadline, no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase, regardless of their Acceptance Priority Level. Notes not accepted for purchase will be returned promptly to the tendering Holders (or, in the case of Notes tendered by book-entry transfer, such Notes will be promptly credited to the account maintained at The Depository Trust Company from which such Notes were delivered) and otherwise returned in accordance with the Tender Offer Documents.

We expressly continue to reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to further amend, extend or, upon failure of any condition described in the Offer to Purchase to be satisfied or waived, to terminate any of the Offers, including the right to further amend or eliminate the Maximum Tender Cap, at any time at or prior to the Expiration Date.
