Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On April 25, 2023, Air Lease Corporation (the “Company”)
entered into the Eighth Amendment and Extension Agreement (the
“Eighth Amendment) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement which amended and extended its unsecured revolving credit
facility, dated as of May 5, 2014, with JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders named therein (as
previously amended and extended, and as further amended by the
Eighth Amendment, the “Syndicated Unsecured Revolving Credit
Facility”) whereby the Company, among other things,
(i) extended the final maturity date from May 5, 2026 to
May 5, 2027, (ii) amended the total revolving commitments
thereunder to approximately $7.2 billion across 49 financial
institutions as of May 5, 2023, and (iii) decreased the
SOFR credit spread adjustment applicable to borrowings under the
Syndicated Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility for all interest
periods. No incremental borrowings were made by the Company at the
closing of the Eighth Amendment.
Borrowings under the Syndicated Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
accrue interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the
Syndicated Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility) plus a margin of
1.05% per year. The Syndicated Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
also has a 0.20% per year facility fee in respect of the total
commitments under the facility. The pricing of this facility is
subject to increase or decrease based on declines or improvements
in the credit ratings for the Company’s debt.
Under the Syndicated Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, lenders
hold revolving commitments totaling approximately $6.8 billion
that mature on May 5, 2027, commitments totaling
$320.0 million that mature on May 5, 2026, commitments
totaling $32.5 million that mature on May 5, 2025 and
commitments totaling $375.0 million that mature on May 5,
2023. Some of the lenders party to the Syndicated Unsecured
Revolving Credit Facility and their affiliates have engaged in, and
may in the future engage in, investment banking and other
commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the
Company or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future
receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
The foregoing description of the Eighth Amendment is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Eighth
Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein
by reference.
