Explanatory Note
This Amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Willis Lease Finance Corporation (the “Company”) on November 4, 2024 (the “Original Form 8-K”) is being filed to correct a clerical error in the news release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Form 8-K. The $48.5 million of short-term maintenance revenues earned was reported as the total year-to-date amount earned during the first three quarters of 2024, but this has been corrected to reflect that this amount was earned during the third quarter of 2024. A revised copy of the news release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. No other information has been modified from the Original Form 8-K.

The information and exhibit furnished under this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 31, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared the Company’s quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock outstanding.
