Air Lease Corporation (NYSE: AL) (the "Company") today announced the
closing of its previously announced offering of $1.0 billion aggregate
principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2017 (the

from a previously announced offering size of $500 million. The Notes
were sold in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), only to qualified
institutional buyers and non-U.S. persons outside of the United States
in reliance upon Rule 144A and Regulation S, respectively, under the
Securities Act.
The Notes will mature on April 1, 2017 and will bear interest at a rate
of 5.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and
October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2012.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering to fund the
acquisition of commercial aircraft and for other general corporate
purposes.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or
applicable state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be
offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the
Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
