Strategic Capital Initiative – 2025 Partnership
On February 10, 2026, the Company amended and restated the Aircraft Sale and Purchase agreement, originally entered into as of December 30, 2024, pursuant to which the SPVs of the 2025 Partnership will acquire 14 on-lease 737NG and A320ceo aircraft in addition to the originally committed 45 on-lease 737NG and A320ceo aircraft. In aggregate, the net purchase price for the 60 on-lease 737NG and A320ceo aircraft is approximately $700.0 million, subject to certain customary closing conditions. The purchase price of the seed assets are contractual and the Company receives customary, market-based compensation for the sale of the seed assets to the 2025 Partnership.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company sold 55 of the 60 committed aircraft to the 2025 Partnership.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the 2025 Partnership reimbursed the Company $0.0 million and $42.8 million, in refundable deposits, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $221.2 million and $100.6 million of MRE Contract revenue, respectively, for the sale and purchase of such engines to and from the 2025 Partnership.

The Company provides aircraft management services to the 2025 Partnership, and receives customary, market-based compensation for providing such services, which is included in Other revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Former Management Agreement
On May 28, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreements with FIG LLC (the “Former manager”) and Master GP to internalize the Company’s management function (the “Internalization”). As part of the termination of the Management Agreement, the Company (i) paid the Former Manager (for itself and on behalf of the Master GP, as applicable) the Cash Consideration, the compensation accrued and payable, but not yet paid, under the Management Agreement and the expenses that were reimbursable, but not yet reimbursed, under the Management Agreement; (ii) issued to the Former Manager (for itself and on behalf of the Master GP, as applicable) the Share Consideration; and (iii) purchased from Master GP all of its partnership interests in FTAI Aviation Holdco Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for $30 thousand. Following the Internalization, the Company no longer pays management fees or incentive distributions to the Former Manager and Master GP.
In connection with the termination of the Management Agreement, the Company also entered into a Transition Services Agreement with the Former Manager. Under the Transition Services Agreement, the Former Manager was required to continue to provide the Company and its affiliates with all of the Services for a transition period through October 31, 2024, during which the Company procured replacements for the Services. In addition, the Former Manager was required to continue to provide the services that were reasonably required by the Company to prepare its quarterly and annual financial statements through May 31, 2025. The Services were provided to the Company for a fee equal to the Former Manager’s cost of providing the Services, plus a mark-up of ten percent (10%).
Prior to the Internalization, the Former Manager was paid annual fees in exchange for advising the Company on various aspects of its business, formulating its investment strategies, arranging for the acquisition and disposition of assets, arranging for financing, monitoring performance, and managing its day-to-day operations, inclusive of all costs incidental thereto. In addition, the Former Manager was reimbursed for various expenses incurred by the Former Manager on the Company’s behalf, including the costs of legal, accounting and other administrative activities. Additionally, the Company entered into certain incentive allocation arrangements with Master GP, which owned approximately 0.01% of FTAI Aviation Holdco Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company).
The Former Manager was entitled to a management fee and reimbursement of certain expenses. The management fee was determined by taking the average value of total equity (excluding non-controlling interests) determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP at the end of the two most recently completed months multiplied by an annual rate of 1.50%, which was payable monthly in arrears in cash.
Prior to the Internalization and the termination of the Management Agreement on May 28, 2024, Master GP was entitled to incentive allocations (comprised of income incentive allocation and capital gains incentive allocation, defined below). The income incentive allocation was calculated and distributable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-incentive allocation net income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (the “Income Incentive Allocation”). For this purpose, pre-incentive allocation net income means, with respect to a calendar quarter, net income attributable to shareholders during such quarter calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP excluding the Company’s pro rata share of (1) realized or unrealized gains and losses, and (2) certain non-cash or one-time items, and (3) any other adjustments as may be approved by the Company’s independent directors. Pre-incentive allocation net income did not include any Income Incentive Allocation or Capital Gains Incentive Allocation (described below) paid to Master GP during the relevant quarter.
Prior to the Internalization, one of our subsidiaries allocated and distributed to Master GP an Income Incentive Allocation with respect to its pre-incentive allocation net income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Income Incentive Allocation in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive allocation net income, expressed as a rate of return on the average value of our net equity capital (excluding non-controlling interests) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, does not exceed 2% for such quarter (8% annualized); (2) 100% of pre-incentive allocation net income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive allocation net income, if any, that is equal to or exceeds 2% but does not exceed 2.2223% for such quarter; and (3) 10% of the amount of pre-incentive allocation net income, if any, that exceeds 2.2223% for such quarter. These calculations were prorated for any period of less than three months.
Prior to the Internalization, Capital Gains Incentive Allocation was calculated and distributable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year and was equal to 10% of the Company’s pro rata share of cumulative realized gains from the date of the IPO through the end of the applicable calendar year, net of the Company’s pro rata share of cumulative realized or unrealized losses, the cumulative non-cash portion of equity-based compensation expenses and all realized gains upon which prior performance-based Capital Gains Incentive Allocation payments were made to Master GP.
The Company paid all of its operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Former Manager under the Management Agreement. The expenses required to be paid by the Company included, but were not limited to, issuance and transaction costs incident to the acquisition, disposition and financing of its assets, legal and auditing fees and expenses, the compensation and expenses of its independent directors, the costs associated with the establishment and maintenance of any credit facilities and other indebtedness of the Company (including commitment fees, legal fees, closing costs, etc.), expenses associated with other securities offerings of the Company, costs and expenses incurred in contracting with third parties (including affiliates of the Former Manager), the costs of printing and mailing proxies and reports to its shareholders, costs incurred by the Former Manager or its affiliates for travel on the Company’s behalf, costs associated with any computer software or hardware that was used by the Company, costs to obtain liability insurance to indemnify the Company’s directors and officers and the compensation and expenses of the Company’s transfer agent.
The Company paid or reimbursed the Former Manager and its affiliates for performing certain legal, accounting, due diligence tasks and other services that outside professionals or outside consultants otherwise would perform, provided that such costs and reimbursements were no greater than those which would be paid to outside professionals or consultants. The Former Manager was responsible for all of its other costs incident to the performance of its duties under the Management Agreement, including compensation of the Former Manager’s employees, rent for facilities and other “overhead” expenses; the Company did not reimburse the Former Manager for these expenses.
The following table summarizes the Company’s reimbursements to the Former Manager (unaudited):
