AerCap Holdings N.V.
$750,000,000
5.875% Fixed-Rate Reset Junior Subordinated Notes due 2079
Guaranteed on a Junior Subordinated Basis by Certain of its Subsidiaries


AerCap Holdings N.V., a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (the "Issuer") is offering $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Fixed-Rate Reset Junior
Subordinated Notes due 2079 (the "Notes"). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of October 1, 2019 (as supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Indenture"), among the Issuer, the
guarantors (as defined below) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").
Subject to the Issuer's right to elect to forgo payment of interest on the Notes as described under "Description of Notes--Principal Amount; Maturity and Interest--Forgoing of Interest ," the Notes will bear interest
(i) from the issue date to, but excluding, October 10, 2024 at a rate of 5.875% per annum and (ii) from and including October 10, 2024, during each Reset Period (as defined under "Description of Notes--Principal Amount;
Maturity and Interest"), at a rate per annum equal to the Five -year U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined under "Description of Notes--Principal Amount; Maturity and Interest ") as of the most recent Reset Interest Determination
Date (as defined under "Description of Notes--Principal Amount; Maturity and Interest ") plus 4.535% to be reset on each Reset Date (as defined under "Description of Notes--Principal Amount; Maturity and Interest "),
payable semi-annually in arrears on April 10 and October 10 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on April 10, 2020. The Notes will mature on October 10, 2079.
The Issuer may, in its sole discretion, elect to forgo payment of interest on the Notes for any Interest Period (as defined under "Description of Notes--Principal Amount; Maturity and Interest "). If the Issuer elects to
forgo payment of interest on the Notes for any Interest Period, such interest will not be cumulative and any accrued interest for that Interest Period shall cease to accrue and be payable. If the Issuer elects to forgo payment of
interest for any Interest Period, the Issuer will have no obligation to pay the forgone interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date for that Interest Period, whether or not interest on the Notes is paid for any future Interest
Period.
On October 10, 2024, and on any subsequent Reset Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed,
plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest for the then-current Interest Period to, but excluding, such redemption date. See "Description of Notes--Optional Redemption ." The Issuer may also redeem the Notes
at its option, at any time, in whole but not in part, in the event of certain developments affecting taxation described under "Description of Notes--Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes ," at a redemption price equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest for the then-current Interest Period to, but excluding, such redemption date and additional amounts, if
any. In addition, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole but not in part, at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by the Issuer following the occurrence of a
Rating Agency Event (as defined under "Description of Notes--Redemption after the Occurrence of a Rating Agency Event ") or, in the absence of any such review or appeal process, within 120 days of such Rating Agency
Event, at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest for the then-current Interest Period to, but excluding, such redemption
date.
The Notes will be irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed (the "guarantees") on an unsecured junior subordinated basis by certain subsidiaries of the Issuer (collectively, the "guarantors"), as described under
"Description of Notes--Guarantees ."
The Notes and the guarantees will constitute the Issuer's and the relevant guarantor's direct, unsecured, junior subordinated obligations, respectively, and rank equally (without any preference) among themselves and
with any Parity Claims (as defined under "Description of Notes--Certain Definitions ") and prior to any Junior Claims (as defined under "Description of Notes--Certain Definitions "). The rights and claims of holders of the
Notes will be subordinated to the claims of all Senior Creditors (as defined under "Description of Notes--Ranking "). The Notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future indebtedness and other
liabilities (including trade payables) of the Issuer's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. See "Description of Notes--Ranking. " Interest on the Notes will be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax unless an
exemption applies, and investors will not be eligible to receive additional amounts with respect to Irish dividend withholding tax unless they are "Qualified Holders" with respect to such taxes and comply with applicable tax
residence declaration requirements, if any. See "Description of Notes--Additional Amounts " and "Certain Irish, Dutch and U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences--Certain Irish Tax Consequences--Dividend withholding
tax."

THAT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE YOU ARE NOT A TAX RESIDENT OF THE NETHERLANDS OR HAVE A (DEEMED) PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT IN THE NETHERLANDS OR ANY

BEFORE YOU BECOME A DUTCH TAX RESIDENT, YOU WILL PROMPTLY DIVEST YOURSELF OF ALL OWNERSHIP OF THE NOTES AND ANY INTEREST THEREIN.
The Notes are not to be sold to an investor who is a Dutch Tax Resident. See "Underwriting--Selling Restrictions--Notice to Prospective Investors in the Netherlands ." Investors that are not Dutch Tax
Residents will be subject to Netherlands withholding tax unless they establish that they are not Dutch Tax Residents, and if they fail to do so, such investors will not be eligible to receive additional amounts in
respect of such Netherlands withholding tax. See "Description of Notes--Additional Amounts" and "Certain Irish, Dutch and U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences--Certain Dutch Tax Consequences--Payments
of Interest"

SUMMARY
This summary highlights the information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. Because this is
only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus supplement carefully
together with the information incorporated by reference herein, including "Risk Factors" and the financial statements, and notes related thereto,
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, before making an investment decision.
Our Business
We are the global leader in aircraft leasing. We focus on acquiring in-demand aircraft at attractive prices, funding them efficiently, hedging
interest rate risk prudently and using our platform to deploy these assets with the objective of delivering superior risk-adjusted returns. We believe
that by applying our expertise, we will be able to identify and execute on a broad range of market opportunities that we expect will generate attractive
returns for our shareholders. We are an independent aircraft lessor, and, as such, we are not affiliated with any airframe or engine manufacturer. This
independence provides us with purchasing flexibility to acquire aircraft or engine models regardless of the manufacturer.
As of June 30, 2019, we owned 949 aircraft and we managed 93 aircraft. As of June 30, 2019, we also had 331 new aircraft on order, including
155 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft, 95 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, 47 Embraer E-Jets E2 aircraft, 30 Boeing 787 aircraft, and four Airbus A350
aircraft. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average age of our 949 owned aircraft fleet, weighted by net book value, was 6.2 years and as of June 30,
2018, the weighted average age of our 955 owned aircraft fleet, weighted by net book value, was 6.6 years. We operate our business on a global basis.
As of June 30, 2019, our owned and managed aircraft were leased to approximately 200 customers in approximately 80 countries.
We have the infrastructure, expertise and resources to execute a large number of diverse aircraft transactions in a variety of market conditions.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we executed 82 aircraft transactions. Our teams of dedicated marketing and asset trading professionals
have been successful in leasing and managing our aircraft portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, our weighted average owned
aircraft utilization rate was 99.4%, calculated based on the number of days each aircraft was on lease during the period, weighted by the net book value
of the aircraft.
We lease most of our aircraft to airlines under operating leases. Under these leases, the lessee is responsible for the maintenance and servicing
of the equipment during the lease term and we receive the benefit, and assume the risks, of the residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease.

Interest Payment Date.


See "Description of Notes--Principal Amount; Maturity and Interest--Optional Interest. "

Restrictions Following a Forgoing of Interest:
So long as any Notes remain outstanding for any Interest Period, in the event that any
interest is not paid in full for any Interest Period, the Issuer will not (1) declare or pay any
distribution, dividend or comparable payment in respect of any Parity Claims or Junior
Claims until an interest payment on the Notes for a subsequent Interest Period is paid in full
or (2) repurchase or redeem any of its Parity Claims or Junior Claims until an interest
payment on the Notes for a subsequent Interest Period is paid in full, each subject to certain
limited exceptions.


See "Description of Notes--Principal Amount; Maturity and Interest."

Ranking:
The Notes and the guarantees will constitute the Issuer's and the relevant guarantor's direct,
unsecured, junior subordinated obligations, respectively, and will rank equally (without any
preference) among themselves and with any Parity Claims and prior to any Junior Claims.
The rights and claims of the holders of the Notes, including under the guarantees, will be
subordinated to all claims of the Issuer's or the relevant guarantor's, as the case may be,
present and future creditors: (1) who are unsubordinated creditors,

S-8
Table of Contents
(2) whose claims are, or are expressed to be, subordinated (whether only in the event of a
winding up in any applicable jurisdiction or otherwise) only to the claims of unsubordinated

creditors, and (3) who are subordinated creditors, other than those whose claims are, or are
expressed to rank, equally with, or junior to, the claims of holders of the Notes or the
guarantees, as the case may be (together, "Senior Creditors").

In addition, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future
indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of each subsidiary of the Issuer
that does not guarantee the Notes. As of June 30, 2019, these non-guarantor subsidiaries had
total liabilities, including trade payables (but excluding intercompany liabilities), of

$14.3 billion and total assets (excluding intercompany receivables) of $27.8 billion. In
addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, these non-guarantor subsidiaries generated
$0.6 billion, or approximately 103%, of our consolidated net income, and $1.5 billion, or

approximately 61%, of our total revenues and other income. See "Description of Notes--
Ranking."

Each of AGAT and AICDC, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Issuer and co-issuers of
various series of outstanding senior unsecured notes guaranteed by the Issuer, will guarantee
the Notes. In addition, AerCap U.S. Global Aviation LLC, AerCap Aviation Solutions B.V.,
AerCap Ireland Ltd. and ILFC will guarantee the Notes. Please note that the supplemental
guarantor financial information set forth in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the
year ended December 31, 2018 and subsequent Reports on Form 6-K for the quarters ended

March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, incorporated by reference herein, presents condensed
consolidating financial information for each of AGAT and AICDC, as co-issuers of the
senior unsecured notes, on a stand-alone basis (before elimination of intercompany
transactions and balances). The non-guarantor financial information set forth in such
supplemental guarantor financial information accurately represents the condensed
consolidating financial information with respect to the subsidiaries of the Issuer that will not
guarantee the Notes.

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the only outstanding Junior Claims of the Issuer
are its outstanding ordinary shares, and the only Junior Claims of the guarantors are each
guarantors' common stock (or equivalent thereof) and of which is held directly or indirectly
by the Issuer, and in the case of International Lease Finance Corporation, the outstanding 500

shares of Series A MAPS (as defined under "Description of Notes--Certain Definitions"),
with a liquidation value of $100,000 per share, and the outstanding 500 shares of Series B
Maps (as defined under "Description of Notes--Certain Definitions"), with a liquidation
value of $100,000 per share. The Issuer and the guarantors have no outstanding Parity
Claims. As a result, as of the issue date, the Notes and the guarantees will be

subordinated to all other obligations of the Issuer and the guarantors, as the case may be.

As of June 30, 2019, we had total liabilities, including trade payables (all of which liabilities
would have been claims of Senior Creditors or liabilities of our subsidiaries), of $34.0 billion.

We also had total undrawn lines of credit available under our credit and term loan facilities of
approximately $7.1 billion.

Optional Redemption:
On the First Call date and any subsequent Reset Date, the Issuer may redeem, at its option, all
or part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes being redeemed, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest for the then-
current Interest Period to, but excluding, such redemption date. See "Description of Notes--
Optional Redemption."

Redemption after the Occurrence of a Rating Agency After the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event (as defined under "Description of Notes--
Event:
Redemption after the Occurrence of a Rating Agency Event"), the Issuer may redeem, at its
option, in whole but not in part, at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any
review or appeal process instituted by the Issuer following the occurrence of a Rating Agency
Event or, in the absence of such review or appeal process, within 120 days of such Rating
Agency Event, at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the Notes
being redeemed, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest for the then-current
Interest Period to, but excluding, such redemption date. See "Description of Notes--
Redemption after the Occurrence of a Rating Agency Event."

Additional Amounts:
The Issuer and the guarantors will make all payments in respect of the Notes or the
guarantees, as the case may be, including principal and interest payments, as applicable,
without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes or other

governmental charges in Ireland or certain other relevant tax jurisdictions, unless they are
obligated by law to deduct or withhold such taxes or governmental charges. Interest on the
Notes will be subject to Irish and Dutch dividend withholding tax unless an exemption
applies. If the Issuer or any guarantor is obligated by law to deduct or withhold taxes or
governmental charges in respect of the Notes or the relevant guarantee, subject to certain
exceptions and a requirement that the holder of the Notes be a "Qualified Holder" in respect
of Irish and Dutch withholding taxes and complies with applicable tax residence declaration
requirements, if any, the Issuer or the relevant guarantor, as applicable, will pay to the
holders of the Notes additional amounts so that the net amount received by the holders after
any deduction or withholding will not be less than the amount the holders would have
received if those taxes or governmental charges had not been withheld or deducted.

See "Description of Notes--Additional Amounts" and "Certain Irish, Dutch and U.S. Federal

Income Tax Consequences."

Optional Redemption for Changes in Withholding
If the Issuer becomes obligated to pay any additional amounts as a result of any change in the
Taxes:
law of Ireland or certain other relevant taxing jurisdictions that is announced or becomes
effective on or after the date on which the Notes are issued (or the date the relevant taxing
jurisdiction became applicable, if later) (a "Tax Redemption Event"), the Issuer may redeem
the Notes, at its option, in whole but not in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus an amount equal to any
accrued and unpaid interest for the then-current Interest Period to, but excluding, such
redemption date and additional amounts, if any. See "Description of Notes--Redemption for
Changes in Withholding Taxes."

Use of Proceeds:
We will use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including to
acquire, invest in, finance or refinance aircraft assets and to repay indebtedness. See "Use of
Proceeds."

Tax Consequences:
We intend to treat the Notes as equity of the Issuer for Irish, Dutch and U.S. federal income
tax purposes.

Interest on the Notes will be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax at a current statutory
rate of 20% unless an exemption applies. Assuming that we are successful in obtaining a
confirmation from the Irish Revenue Commissioners, U.S. resident holders who hold their
Notes through DTC will be exempt from Irish dividend withholding tax provided the address
of the beneficial owner of the Notes in the records of their broker, or otherwise provided to
AerCap's qualifying intermediary, is in the United States. If we are not able to obtain the

confirmation, U.S. resident holders will be required to provide a declaration establishing
their exemption from Irish dividend withholding tax in order to receive their interest
payments free from withholding. Individual and certain corporate holders of the Notes that
are tax resident in a country (other than Ireland) which is a member of the European Union or
a country with which Ireland has a double tax treaty in effect (which includes the United
States) will be exempt from Irish dividend withholding tax if they provide a declaration
establishing their exemption from Irish dividend withholding tax.

In addition, interest on the Notes will be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (currently
at a rate of 15%) for persons who are Dutch Tax Residents. To confirm that a holder is not a
Dutch Tax Resident, such holder must provide an Irish dividend withholding tax declaration
form representing that the holder of the Notes is not a Dutch Tax Resident except that, if the
Issuer is granted the confirmation from the Irish Revenue Commissioners referred to above,

U.S. resident holders who hold their Notes through DTC and have a U.S. address of the
beneficial owner of the Notes in the records of their broker, or that has otherwise been
provided to AerCap's qualifying intermediary, need not provide this declaration form. We

intend to presume that holders who do not comply with the above requirements are Dutch
Tax Residents.

Looking Statements" in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risks before making any
investment decisions with respect to the Notes.
Our substantial debt could adversely affect our cash flow and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our existing indebtedness and the Notes.
As of June 30, 2019, the principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness, which excludes fair value adjustments of $129.2 million and debt
issuance costs, debt discounts and debt premium of $141.0 million, was approximately $29.0 billion (approximately 67% of our total assets as of that date),
and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, our interest expense was $666.6 million. Due to the capital intensive nature of our business, we expect that we
will incur additional indebtedness in the future and continue to maintain substantial levels of indebtedness. As of June 30, 2019, our fixed rate debt of
$19.1 billion represented approximately 66% of our outstanding indebtedness. Our level of indebtedness:
