Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 15, 2013, American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), AIG Capital Corporation (“Seller”), a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of AIG and the sole shareholder of International Lease Finance Corporation (“ILFC”), and Jumbo Acquisition Limited (“Purchaser”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 9, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated May 10, 2013, by and among Seller, AIG and Purchaser (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) relating to the sale of up to 90.0% of ILFC’s common stock by Seller to Purchaser (the “Transaction”).

The Amendment extends by one and a half months, to July 31, 2013, the date on which any of AIG, Seller or Purchaser may terminate the Share Purchase Agreement if the closing of the Transaction has not yet occurred. Under the Amendment, AIG and Seller may pursue (but not enter into definitive documentation for, or consummate) other offers for ILFC and may continue to pursue (but not engage in widespread solicitation of orders for, or request effectiveness of) the alternative of a public offering. Under the Amendment, AIG or Seller may terminate the Share Purchase Agreement prior to July 31, 2013 if AIG reasonably determines in good faith that closing conditions relating to regulatory matters would not be satisfied by July 31, 2013. The Amendment also amends to July 15, 2013 the date by which the Purchaser may deliver the Option Notice (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement) to AIG and Seller.

The description of the Amendment contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated in its entirety into this Item 1.01 by reference.

WHEREAS, the Seller, the Parent and the Purchaser entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to acquire not less than 80.1% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Purchaser has deposited (or caused to be deposited), prior to the date hereof, an amount in RMB equivalent to the Deposit Amount of US$475 million in accordance with an escrow agreement entered into among the Seller, the Parent, the Purchaser and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., acting through its Beijing branch, as the escrow agent; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Purchase Agreement in the manner set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

  2. Long-Stop Date. Clause 7.6(b) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “by any of the Parent, the Seller or the Purchaser if the Initial Completion has not occurred on or before July 31, 2013 (the “Long-Stop Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause 7.6(b) shall not be available to any party who shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its Warranties or Purchaser Warranties, as applicable, or Pre-Completion Covenants in any manner that shall have resulted in the failure of the Initial Completion to occur on or before the Long-Stop Date;”


  3. Termination.

 

  a. Clause 7.6(i) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “by the Parent or the Seller, if the Parent reasonably determines in good faith that any of the conditions in clauses 3.1(a), (b), (c), (d), (f), (g) or (m) would not be satisfied by the Long Stop Date; provided that, if the Parent or the Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to this clause 7.6(i), the Parent and the Seller shall execute and deliver, within one Business Day of such termination, an instruction to the Escrow Agent to immediately release the entire Deposit Amount to the Purchaser.”.

 

  b. Clause 7.7(h) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “by the Parent or the Seller, if the Parent reasonably determines in good faith that any of the conditions in clauses 3.1(a), (b), (c), (d), (f), (g) or (m) would not be satisfied by the Long Stop Date; provided that, if the Parent or the Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to this clause 7.7(h), the Parent and the Seller shall execute and deliver, within one Business Day of such termination, an instruction to the Escrow Agent to immediately release the entire Deposit Amount to the Purchaser.”.

 

  c. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser shall have no right to seek or obtain equitable or injunctive relief, including specific performance, on the basis that the Parent and the Seller did not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause 7.6(i) or clause 7.7(h), provided that this clause shall not prohibit or limit the Purchaser’s right to seek or obtain monetary damages.

 

  4.

Non-Solicit. Clause 9.3 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “The Parent and the Seller covenant and undertake to the Purchaser that from the Signing Date until the Initial Completion Date (or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms contained herein), neither the Parent nor the Seller shall, and the Parent and the Seller shall cause the Company Group and its directors, officers, employees, agents or Representatives not to (i) directly or indirectly, enter into any definitive documentation (other than a confidentiality or similar agreement) in connection with or consummate any sale, disposition, issuance, grant or other transfer of any securities, material assets or business of any of the Company Group Members (other than a sale of assets in the ordinary course of business or as expressly

  permitted by this Agreement) or any other material transaction that would prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of the Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Long-Stop Date (other than as permitted by this Agreement) (any of the foregoing other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, a “Competing Transaction”), (ii) participate in any widespread active solicitation of any orders to purchase common stock of the Company or any of the Company Group Members or (iii) request that the registration statement on Form S-1 of which the Company Prospectus forms a part be declared effective by the SEC.

(other than as prohibited by sub-clauses (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this clause 9.3). On the Initial Completion Date, ILFC Holdings, Inc. shall file a Registration Withdrawal Request on Form RW with the SEC with respect to the Company Prospectus.”

  6. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Amendment or any other Transaction Agreement (when executed and delivered), the Transaction Agreements, including this Amendment, constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, other than the Confidentiality Agreements to the extent not in conflict with the Purchase Agreement, between or on behalf of the Parent and/or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements.
