| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Represents Ordinary Shares granted as compensatory awards and held by the AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Incentive Plans Trust in order to achieve certain tax benefits under Irish law, after which the shares (to the extent vested) will be released to the reporting person. Of these awards, 2,247,057 are restricted shares that remain subject to service-based vesting conditions and 905,877 are restricted shares that remain subject to service- and performance-based vesting conditions. The remaining 2,255,090 shares are no longer subject to vesting conditions but remain subject to disposal restrictions. |
| 2. Represents the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in connection with the conversion of the RSUs. |
| 3. On May 12, 2025, the reporting person was awarded 500,000 restricted share units ("RSUs"). The RSUs have converted into restricted shares subject to service-vesting conditions on a one-for-one basis. The restricted shares are held by the AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Incentive Plans Trust for the benefit of the reporting person until the restricted shares are required to be transferred to the reporting person in accordance with the terms of the award agreement or are forfeited. A portion of the restricted shares were withheld to pay taxes incurred by the reporting person in connection with the conversion. The 500,000 restricted shares will vest on April 30, 2030. |
