• Securities: Ordinary Shares
• Number of Shares: 60,000
• Approximate Sale Date: October 30, 2026

Prior Sales & Trading Pattern

Market Impact & Significance

This proposed transaction represents a high-profile disposition given the insider's position as Chief Executive Officer. While the transaction size is substantial at $9.58 million, it constitutes a very small portion of AerCap's total outstanding equity and stems from equity compensation that vested over four years prior to the sale date.
