- Review the attached Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 99.1) for any lock-up provisions or indemnity clauses.
- Confirm the updated beneficial ownership structure of AerCap following AIG's complete exit.
- Check subsequent filings for any impact on AerCap's share price or market capitalization following the August 24 closing.
