AerCap Signs Two Debt Facility Agreements; $846 Million ECA A320 Delivery Funding Facility
and $86 Million A330 Pre-delivery Payment Funding Facility
AMSTERDAM, March 13 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
AerCap Holdings N.V. ("AerCap", NYSE: AER) today announced that AerVenture Limited, its
consolidated joint venture, has signed a facility agreement with Calyon S.A. and other banks and
financial institutions, outlining the terms pursuant to which the European Export Credit Agencies may
provide guarantees on up to US$846 million of financing to commercial banks to fund deliveries of
A320 family aircraft under AerVenture's forward order with Airbus through 2011. This completes the
remaining financing requirement for the Airbus A320 family order of aircraft. The aircraft are part of an
original 70 aircraft order placed by AerVenture Limited in January 2006. The European Export Credit
Agencies consist of Coface in France, ECGD in the United Kingdom, and Euler-Hermes in Germany.
The loans are to be provided by a syndicate of banks led by Calyon acting as Global Arranger and are
subject to customary ECA requirements.
In addition AerCap confirmed that it signed in February 2009 a US$86 million Pre-delivery Payment
Funding Facility with a European Financial Institution for three A330 aircraft on order with Airbus.
Keith Helming, Chief Financial Officer of AerCap said: "The closing of these two facilities represents
the achievement of significant milestones in our 2009 funding plan. Including these deals, we have
completed US$4.3 billion of financing agreements over the past twelve months. These transactions
further demonstrate AerCap's ability to continue to secure competitively priced, long-term financing
even in this very challenging market environment. The support by the banking community and the
export credit agencies confirms that there continues to be strong backing for AerCap's business
model."
