Update on Russian Aircraft

The Company leased 9 aircraft to Russian airlines that were unrecoverable following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The Company filed claims against the reinsurers of the Russian airlines’ insurance and the Company’s contingent and possessed insurance policies (“C&P Policies”) seeking indemnity.

During the year ended February 29, 2024, the Company received cash settlement proceeds of $43.2 million in settlement of certain of the Company’s claims under the insurance policies in respect of 4 aircraft formerly on lease to 2 Russian airlines. The Company will continue to explore mitigating losses with respect to the 5 other aircraft that were not included in the prior settlement, but it is uncertain whether this will result in any further settlements and, if so, in what amount.

The receipt of the insurance settlement proceeds serve to mitigate, in part, the Company’s losses under its aviation insurance policies. The Company reserves all rights under its C&P Policies. The collection, timing and amount of any future recoveries, including those related to insurance litigation, remain uncertain. Accordingly, at this time, the Company can give no assurance as to when or what amounts it may ultimately collect with respect to these matters.
