EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules containing all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate. It also constitutes the notice under section 76E(2) of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 694,010,334 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 6 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased following the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Directors will be authorised under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, a maximum of 69,401,033 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases may, depending on the circumstances, result in an increase in the net assets and/or earnings per Share. The Directors have sought the grant of the Share Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase Shares if and when appropriate. The repurchase of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such repurchase in accordance with the Constitution, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of Hong Kong and Singapore. In particular, any repurchase of Shares by the Company may be made out of the Company’s capital or profits so long as the Company is solvent. The amount of financing required for the Company to purchase or acquire its Shares, and the impact on the Company’s financial position, cannot be ascertained as at the Latest Practicable Date as these will depend on whether the Shares are purchased or acquired out of capital or profits, the number of shares purchased or acquired and the price at which such Shares were purchased or acquired.

There could be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the financial statements contained in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report) if the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Sky Splendor Limited, the controlling shareholder of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules), was interested in 485,807,334 Shares representing approximately 70.00% of the total number of issued Share of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the shareholding of Sky Splendor Limited would be increased to approximately 77.78% of the issued share capital of the Company.

— 21 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

The Directors are not aware of any consequences in relation to Sky Splendor Limited which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Singapore.

During the 6 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not repurchase any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

APPENDIX III

INFORMATION REGARDING THE AIRCRAFT PURCHASE MANDATE

Aircraft purchases are part of the Company’s ordinary course of business and the Company plans its fleet replacement and growth in a disciplined way, based upon its overall assessment of future demand for leased aircraft from airline customers. The Company’s order book provides its base contracted pipeline for deliveries of aircraft but the Company is also opportunistic when it sees attractive investment opportunities to purchase additional new aircraft.

Following the Company’s listing in June 2016, if a purchase of aircraft exceeds certain thresholds as set out in the Listing Rules, the Company is required to obtain the approval of the Shareholders for such purchase. Given the frequency and size of aircraft purchases in the Company’s ordinary course of business, this could have an impact on the Company’s ability to enter into aircraft purchase commitments as and when appropriate in order to build on its aircraft order book and to move quickly to capture new opportunities.

In order to provide the Company with greater flexibility to enter into aircraft purchase commitments as and when appropriate, prior to the Company’s listing, the then sole Shareholder passed an ordinary resolution granting a general mandate to the Directors to purchase a maximum of 50 new aircraft with an aggregate list price not exceeding US$6.2 billion from Airbus S.A.S. and a maximum of 50 new aircraft with an aggregate list price not exceeding US$6.3 billion from The Boeing Company. At the 2017 annual general meeting, the Shareholders passed a resolution approving the grant of a new mandate and increasing the limits to a maximum of 100 new aircraft with an aggregate list price not exceeding US$10.7 billion from Airbus S.A.S. and a maximum of 100 new aircraft with an aggregate list price not exceeding US$11.0 billion from The Boeing Company. Details of the current aircraft purchase mandate of the Company are set out in the circular to the Shareholders dated 26 April 2017. As at the Latest Practicable Date, pursuant to the existing aircraft purchase mandate of the Company, the Company has purchased an aggregate of three new single-aisle or single-aisle equivalent aircraft from Airbus S.A.S. with an aggregate list price of approximately US$303 million and an aggregate of 35 new single-aisle or single-aisle equivalent aircraft from The Boeing Company with an aggregate list price of approximately US$4.12 billion.

As the existing aircraft purchase mandate will expire on the date of the AGM, subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 9 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the granting of the Aircraft Purchase Mandate, the Directors will be authorised to purchase new aircraft (the “ Aircraft Purchase Mandate ”). The Board recommended to renew the Aircraft Purchase Mandate on and subject to the same terms and conditions as currently apply, and as described below.

The terms and conditions (the “ Terms and Conditions ”) of the Aircraft Purchase Mandate are as follows:

(a) the Aircraft Purchase Mandate shall remain in effect during the period from the passing of the ordinary resolution until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, (ii) the expiry of the period within which the Company is required by the Constitution or any applicable laws to hold its next annual general meeting, and (iii) the date on which the resolution is varied or revoked by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting (the “ Mandate Period ”);

— 23 —

APPENDIX III INFORMATION REGARDING THE AIRCRAFT PURCHASE MANDATE

(b) all aircraft shall be purchased from either or both of Airbus S.A.S. and The Boeing Company, both of whom are third parties independent of the Company and connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company;
(c) the aggregate number of aircraft which may be purchased from Airbus S.A.S. under the Aircraft Purchase Mandate during the Mandate Period shall not exceed 100 single-aisle or “single-aisle equivalent” aircraft and may comprise the following aircraft types or a combination thereof:

Single-Aisle Aircraft:

A320CEO family
A320NEO family

Twin-Aisle Aircraft:

A330 family (each equivalent to 2.5 single-aisle aircraft)
A330 NEO family (each equivalent to 2.5 single-aisle aircraft)
A350 family (each equivalent to 3 single-aisle aircraft);
(d) the aggregate number of aircraft which may be purchased from The Boeing Company under the Aircraft Purchase Mandate during the Mandate Period shall not exceed 100 single-aisle or “single-aisle equivalent” aircraft and may comprise the following aircraft types or a combination thereof:

Single-Aisle Aircraft:

737NG family
737 MAX family

Twin-Aisle Aircraft:

777 family (each equivalent to 3 single-aisle aircraft)
787 family (each equivalent to 2.5 single-aisle aircraft);
(e) the aggregate amount of the list price (comprising the airframe price, optional features price, engine price and forecast escalation) of the aircraft which may be purchased under the Aircraft Purchase Mandate during the Mandate Period shall not exceed US$10.7 billion (from Airbus S.A.S.) and US$11.0 billion (from The Boeing Company);

— 24 —

APPENDIX III INFORMATION REGARDING THE AIRCRAFT PURCHASE MANDATE

(f) the terms of each purchase shall be negotiated and entered into by the Company on arm’s length terms in accordance with the Group’s customary business practices, the actual purchase price of each aircraft shall not exceed the aircraft list price and the terms of each purchase shall be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole;
(g) the extent of any price adjustments granted by the relevant aircraft manufacturer for each purchase shall not be materially different from the price adjustments the Group has obtained in previous aircraft purchases from that aircraft manufacturer; and
(h) when the Company enters into an agreement to purchase aircraft from an aircraft manufacturer under the Aircraft Purchase Mandate during the Mandate Period and such purchase would constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules, the Company will make an announcement stating the following information:
(i) the date of the relevant purchase agreement;
(ii) the number and type of aircraft agreed to be purchased;
(iii) the aggregate amount of the list price of the aircraft agreed to be purchased;
(iv) the payment and delivery terms for the aircraft;
(v) the anticipated source of funding for the aircraft purchase;
(vi) the cumulative number of aircraft purchased and the corresponding aggregate list price of the aircraft purchased under the Aircraft Purchase Mandate;
(vii) a confirmation from the Directors of the matters set out in paragraphs (f) and (g) above; and
(viii) the reasons and benefits of the purchase.

The Company will include in the interim and annual reports of the Company the information set out in paragraph (h)(vi) above.

The actual purchase price of aircraft purchased from the aircraft manufacturers reflect certain price adjustments to the catalog or list price of the aircraft, which are determined based on certain variables and negotiations between the purchaser and the aircraft manufacturer. It is normal business practice in the global aviation industry for the aircraft list price, instead of the actual purchase price, to be disclosed for aircraft purchases. Accordingly, the terms of the Aircraft Purchase Mandate refer to the aggregate list price of the aircraft which may be purchased. In respect of any aircraft purchase under the Aircraft Purchase Mandate which would constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules, the Company will make an application to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.58(4) of the Listing Rules in respect of the requirement to disclose the actual purchase price of such aircraft purchased.

— 25 —

APPENDIX III INFORMATION REGARDING THE AIRCRAFT PURCHASE MANDATE

The Aircraft Purchase Mandate covers the majority of the Company’s aircraft purchases, including aircraft purchased directly from Airbus S.A.S. and The Boeing Company and aircraft purchase commitments made under pre-delivery payment funding transactions with airlines where the aircraft are switched to the Company’s purchase contracts with Airbus S.A.S. and The Boeing Company. The aggregate number and type of aircraft which may be purchased pursuant to the Aircraft Purchase Mandate was determined by reference to the Company’s past activity in ordering new aircraft from the aircraft manufacturers, its planned capital expenditure and the need to replenish its portfolio after selling older aircraft.

Placing a large order with either Airbus S.A.S. or The Boeing Company is a key element of the Company’s procurement strategy. However, bulk orders do not happen every year with each manufacturer regularly. A large bulk purchase order for new aircraft typically involves extended periods of prior strategic planning and negotiation with the aircraft manufacturers and is subject to external factors such as market conditions, ordering patterns of airlines and other leasing companies, the advent of new technology, manufacturer production rates and anticipated changes thereto, and the availability and cost of financing. In 2018 and beyond, due to the continuing growth of our business, we expect significant additional orders to be placed. We will produce the greatest shareholder value from our investing strategy if we can obtain the best price and other terms from the manufacturers when we place a bulk order. The Company believes that the Aircraft Purchase Mandate provides the requisite flexibility to purchase new aircraft without convening general meeting to obtain shareholders’ approval every time.

The Company’s assets and fleet size have been growing over time. The net book value of our aircraft increased from US$9.1 billion at 31 December 2013 to US$13.7 billion at 31 December 2017, a 51% increase. We delivered a record number of 74 new aircraft in 2017, the most aircraft delivered to the Company in any one year and a 10% increase from the 67 new aircraft delivered in 2016.

Our balance sheet growth is driven by our capital expenditure programme, the vast majority of which comprises investment in aircraft. As at 31 December 2017, we had 173 aircraft in our order book, amounting to total capital expenditure commitments of more than US$12 billion, and we intend to continue to grow our investment pipeline by adding incremental aircraft orders opportunistically. For example, between the end of 2017 and the Latest Practicable Date, we ordered three A320CEO family aircraft and six Boeing 787 family aircraft. We are striving to maintain the momentum of our growth which requires the flexibility to purchase aircraft quickly.

The Company believes that in the current business environment, it is in the best interests of the Company to provide authority to the Board under the Aircraft Purchase Mandate in order to allow the Board discretion to use speed, flexibility and volume to achieve the best possible terms in the Company’s procurement of new aircraft. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to approve the Aircraft Purchase Mandate on the same terms and conditions as the existing aircraft purchase mandate.

— 26 —

APPENDIX III INFORMATION REGARDING THE AIRCRAFT PURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors (including the Independent Non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Aircraft Purchase Mandate (including the limits on price and number of aircraft) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors (including the Independent Non-executive Directors) are also of the view that if the Aircraft Purchase Mandate is exercised in full, the purchase of the aircraft pursuant thereto would not have any material adverse impact on the earnings and assets and liabilities of the Group.

It is the intention of the Directors to obtain a renewal of the Aircraft Purchase Mandate at each annual general meeting of the Company.
