On October 17, 2024, Air Lease Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Elimination (the “Certificate of Elimination”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting the elimination of the Certificate of Designations (the “Certificate of Designations”) relating to the Company’s 6.150% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). On October 17, 2024, all then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. Following the filing of the Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, all previously-authorized shares of the Series A Preferred Stock resumed the status of undesignated shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
The Certificate of Elimination became effective upon filing, and a copy is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The above description of the Certificate of Elimination is a summary and, as such, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Elimination, which is incorporated herein by reference.
